[13:58:19] <carny> i remember asking if the servers were down because i couldn't get to the homepage for a bit

[14:13:17] <carny> hmm linode is expensive for bandwidth isn't it?

[23:54:23] <RandomFactor> If the editors did not catch it, in the "In Surprise Turnaround, Biogen to Submit Previously Failed Alzheimer Drug for Approval " story in the queue right now, the phrase "was made an early part of the dataset" should be "was made based on an early part of the dataset"
[23:55:39] <chromas> did it have a link on the word removed?
[23:56:04] <chromas> oh it wasn't a bot sub
[23:56:58] <RandomFactor> nah, was just my brain shortcircuiting when I typed/read
[23:57:41] <chromas> Ah. I thought it could be a bot derp, because they do that sometimes

[23:58:12] <chromas> I see you're one of those filthy double-spacers
[23:58:45] <RandomFactor> My right foot is about 120 inches from a 1914 Remington Typewriter.
[23:58:54] <chromas> I'm thinking of replacing a couple commas with em dashes
[23:59:31] <RandomFactor> Stupit proportional fonts ruining mah double spacing
[23:59:40] <RandomFactor> Courier is all the world ever needed
[23:59:55] <chromas> It's not just that; web browsers reduce whitespace to one character
