[00:18:31] <RandomFactor> The spelling of Chernobyl in the title of that Chernobyl sub is not Chernobyl, it is a completely incorrect spelling of Chernobyl.
[00:18:47] <Bytram> RandomFactor: /me goes to look
[00:19:32] <Bytram> Must have been badly deformed from intense radiation exposure. ;)
[00:19:45] <RandomFactor> cosmic rays are known to flip bits, aye
[00:19:49] <Bytram> clicky
[00:20:19] <RandomFactor> I miss the days where i could use that as an excuse and people believed it
[00:21:30] <Bytram> As density of transistors on a chip increase, it becomes increasingly possible/probable that an errant gamma ray *will* flip one (or several!) bits.
[00:21:57] <RandomFactor> so more true now and less believed. Sigh. Stupit error correction.
[00:22:47] <Bytram> Which is difficult to get with consumer gear; AMD is making inroads, but ECC is still (primarily) relegated to just HEDTs and servers.
[00:23:36] <Bytram> =g Chernobyl
[00:23:39] <upstart> https://en.wikipedia.org - Chernobyl disaster - Wikipedia
[00:24:52] <RandomFactor> I wonder if they're taking applications for tour guide.
[00:25:08] * Bytram notes some lost links
[00:25:43] <RandomFactor> oh, in the quote i bet. point
[00:26:08] <Bytram> the story in Gizmodo refers to a story in CNN
[00:26:19] * Bytram is looking at *that* story
[00:27:42] <RandomFactor> Tour is about $150 and $10 to rent a geiger counter
[00:28:25] <Bytram> RandomFactor: Oh? Where do you see that?
[00:28:41] <RandomFactor> i went into book a tour on the chernobyl-tour.com site
[00:28:51] <Bytram> kewel!
[00:28:58] <Bytram> do you have a link I can use?
[00:29:03] <RandomFactor> it's in the sub

[00:29:29] <Bytram> Oh! *now* I see it!
[00:30:00] <RandomFactor> Chernobyl Tour Guide - i so want that on my resume
[00:30:52] <Bytram> Wonder how "hot" the hazmat suit is after a few months' of tours?
[00:33:37] <RandomFactor> *mental note* - ask for a new suite on the Chernobyl tour
[00:33:45] <RandomFactor> SUIT
[00:36:16] <chromas> cosmic rays aren't a bother any more because everything's in the cloud. Now you just have to worry about static cling
[00:36:59] <RandomFactor> " Many years of organizing Chernobyl tours have proved that those tourists, who rejeced booking the lunch or dinner in advance – feel hungry and most unhappy, when the group enjoy the meal."
[00:37:34] <RandomFactor> i don't have to go to Ukraine to figure this out
[00:46:04] <Bytram> IOW: You'll be sorrrrry!
[00:46:28] <RandomFactor> Photo gallery is 98 pages
[00:50:13] <Bytram> Story submission processed; barring any changes, I expect it will reach the site
[00:50:44] <Bytram> Story submission processed; barring any changes, I expect it will reach the site's main page "in a bit under a day".
[01:11:16] <RandomFactor> say you didn't like that dept.
[01:12:00] <RandomFactor> people would be jealous when you got back from vacation :-)

[02:05:21] <Bytram> Story queue is in good shape, thanks to everyone's efforts this weekend! THANK YOU!! I'm hoping we an keep a comfortable cushion going... less nerve-wracking than seeing the story queue has run dry and trying to find a story lickety-split!
[02:05:30] <Bytram> Have a great night everyone!
