[00:17:15] <Fnord666> Ok, the number of submissions for the article about the chastity belt that can be hacked is....enlightening? disturbing?
[00:33:40] <Bytram> "I'm not gonna try it, *you* try it!" ... "Let's get Mikey!"
[00:33:47] <Fnord666> Bytram - what do you plan to do with the remaining submissions about the chastity belt?
[00:34:15] <Bytram> looking...
[00:34:22] <Fnord666> Including the one about "penetration testing"
[00:34:59] <Bytram> just sawit
[00:35:27] <Bytram> just saw (observed; NOT 'cut') it!
[00:36:36] <Bytram> Will update story with links and mention there were multiple submissions
[00:36:55] <Fnord666> lol
[00:37:21] <Bytram> No double entendere intended, of course!
[00:45:24] <Bytram> Fnord666: updated; please take a look to make sure I got it right
[00:45:35] <Fnord666> checking now
[00:45:52] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:46:12] <Fnord666> do we need a NSFW tag?
[00:46:49] <Fnord666> Looks good.
[00:47:00] <Bytram> Hmm, good question. Your call.
[00:47:04] <Bytram> btw, I'm going to try and spend some time updating my resume and filing job apps tomorrow, so anything you can do to stuff the queue would be much appreciated.
[00:47:04] <Fnord666> 2ndededed
[00:47:15] <Fnord666> Good luck!
[00:47:30] <Bytram> I took a stab at getting things loaded up.
[00:47:32] <Bytram> thanks!

[01:11:08] <Bytram> and also at: https://www.npr.org
[01:11:09] <systemd> ^ 03Trump Halts Coronavirus Relief Talks Until After The Election
[01:11:29] <Bytram> thinking of merging the latter into the former... thoughts?
[01:12:01] <Fnord666> Well they do have Covid and Trump in the titles...
[01:12:21] <Bytram> also pertains to politics
[01:12:45] <Bytram> mights as well try to keep that localized, in as much as possible
[01:13:36] <Fnord666> That makes sense.
[01:14:14] <Fnord666> This month is going to be nothing but Covid and Politics submissions anyway
[01:16:27] <Fnord666> Sometimes I think the bot submission capability has lowered the bar too much.
[01:17:45] <Fnord666> BTW I updated the link in the bronze age statuette story to point to the original story source.
[01:17:54] <Bytram> I have intentions (time allowing) to write a story explaining the creation of the "Politics" nexus -- primarily because it was getting talked about, anyway, in other stories' discussions. It was intended, therefore, to provide a venue for those discussions and try to keep politics out of the others. To that end, I would encourage folks to consider using, e.g., "Offtopic" when such discussions arise in other stories.
[01:18:37] <Bytram> Fnord666++ didn't even notice there was one! Was there still the same emphasis (stuff) ??
[01:18:37] <Bender> karma - fnord666: 177
[01:18:51] <Fnord666> No the emphasis was added by sott
[01:19:12] <Fnord666> I cleaned that up as well.
[01:19:16] <Bytram> nod nod. so you stripped that from our story?
[01:19:21] <Bytram> beat me to it
[01:19:25] <Fnord666> :)

[01:20:57] <Fnord666> This month is so busy trying to get all of our changes in before we "freeze" our system for the holiday season.

[01:33:16] <Bytram> Fnord666: Hope things calm down for you before the holiday season so you can get a much-deserved break!
[01:33:54] <Fnord666> Hopefully. I still need to get in some vacation time too!
[01:35:55] <Bytram> FWIW, 16 years of retail meant no rest for the weary from before Turkey day until New Years (at the earliest)
[01:36:54] <Bytram> at lest we did have Thanksgiving and Christmas off, and an early close on New Year's Eve.
[01:37:03] <Bytram> s/e/ea/
[01:37:03] <SedBot> <Bytram> at least we did have Thanksgiving and Christmas off, and an early close on New Year's Eve.
[01:38:49] <Fnord666> Yep that's why we stabilize our systems and do not make any changes during that time.
[01:43:50] * Bytram always cringed when updates to our registers were pushed out just prior to the holiday season. Well, I pretty much always cringed, but even moreso pre-holiday-season.
[01:44:04] <Bytram> =g m-w moreso

[01:44:44] * Bytram thought moreso was a word! Adds it to HexChat's dictionary
[01:47:12] <Bytram> Fnord666++ I very much appreciate the extra efforts here while you are in crunch time at work!
[01:47:12] <Bender> karma - fnord666: 179
[01:48:27] <Fnord666> Don't get me wrong. It's not video game death march to release sort of crazy.
[01:55:54] <Bytram> so glad to hear THAT!
[01:57:09] <Bytram> I just took a look back. week of black friday last year was 61 hours. then cut back to 45 hours, then ~55 hours per week for the next 3 weeks.
[01:58:35] <Bytram> all with extended store hours, and being short-staffed (our team leader's dad tool ill and they moved to Colorado a few weeks before black friday)
[02:03:51] <Bytram> Fnord666: enjoyed working with you tonight -- hoping things go smoothly for ya!
[02:04:14] * Bytram wanders off in the general direction of his bed
[02:04:21] <Bytram> have a great night everybody!
[02:04:23] <Fnord666> Good night Bytram
[02:04:30] <Fnord666> Pleasant dreams
[02:04:37] <Bytram> and a very good night to you, as well!
[02:33:03] <halibut> <+Fnord666> At this rate 2021 will be the end days
[02:33:23] <halibut> Maybe all that 2012 Mayan stuff really just had a digit transposition error.
[02:33:41] <Fnord666> That's what I was thinking
[02:33:49] <halibut> I remember the 2012 film. I just rewatched a few of the trailers for it. They are dramatic.
[02:34:20] <halibut> I remember seeing a link to the trailer. The person writing it said something like, ``This movie does not look very good. But this one looks like it is worth watching.''
[02:34:35] <halibut> The first sentence linked to one of the official trailers. The second linked to a very funny remix of it.
[02:34:47] <halibut> It took me a while, but I found it here: https://vimeo.com
[02:34:48] <systemd> ^ 032012: THIS IS A DISASTER
[02:34:55] <halibut> I agree. That move really looks worth watching.
[02:37:54] <Fnord666> That's hilarious, and yes, I would watch it.
[02:38:07] <Fnord666> Thanks for digging that up
[02:38:25] <halibut> You're welcome.
