[01:26:40] <chromas> What happened to all the other Capital One subs?
[01:46:05] <Bytram> too much info. I just looked at the one that seemed to provide the best synopsis, and decided to run with that, especially since the other subs were also all by upstart.
[01:46:45] <Bytram> further, it had been all over the news, so figured there was less need for all the gory details.
[01:48:39] <Bytram> chromas: It's in the story queue and unread as yet, feel free to expand/merge other stories into it.
[01:51:04] <chromas> Sounds like work
[01:51:53] <Bytram> and since it is 90+F atm in my apt, that is much more work than I was willing to muster
[01:52:26] <chromas> Go spray yourself in the shower then walk around nude
[01:52:46] <chromas> and then get back to work editing :D
[01:52:59] <Bytram> this new SMART bill has my attention, and I'm tying to put together a sub that captures the main points as well as its potential impact on SoylentNews
[01:53:16] <Bytram> that would leave puddles all over my keyboard and chair
[01:53:43] <chromas> The evaporation will keep it cool. as long as it's not premature. That would be uncool
[01:53:59] <Bytram> besides, the humidity is over 65%, so not much evap going on, either. :/
[01:55:07] <Bytram> it's not quite as bad as I'm making it sound, but it most definitely is having an impact on my ability to focus and maintain concentration
[01:55:30] <Bytram> time for a break; biab
