[00:03:28] <requerdanos> Your "editor communication" is best of show.
[00:09:39] <mrpg> which show you lost me :)
[00:10:31] <requerdanos> editor communication is usually looking at the stories list and saying "huh, I guess so and so posted a story"
[00:13:27] <mrpg> hehe
[00:14:55] -!- AzumaHazuki [AzumaHazuki!~hazuki@the.end.of.time] has joined #editorial
[00:17:19] <mrpg> Ready. I put it in random because it is not stem
[00:21:53] <requerdanos> Thanks much for story posting. As far as I am concerned you can get time confused any time if that's going to be the result
[00:24:55] <mrpg> :)
[00:27:50] <mrpg> a submission says "now dead telescope", it's arecibo, what a lack of respect. And it doesn't say if it was used now or before the accident.
[00:29:04] <mrpg> I don't particularly like the subs in the queue, I'll do " GitHub received DMCA from MPA over torrent tracker source code
[00:33:16] <AzumaHazuki> mrpg: are a lot of the subs in the queue Runaway spewing his Q Cucks Klan wharrrgarbl?
[00:39:10] <mrpg> Not today, there's a runaway 1957, aristarchus, politics, trump, weapons, the usual.
[00:42:20] <mrpg> There's one about somebody fainting due to the vaccine
[00:43:32] <mrpg> runaway 1957: House Bill Introduced to Bring Dolly Parton Statue to Tennessee
[00:43:53] <mrpg> what the hell does it have to do with anything stem related?!?!?!?!
[00:44:39] <mrpg> Maybe she has a github account full of free software...
[00:49:37] <AzumaHazuki> right?
[00:49:44] <AzumaHazuki> 1957 is Ari by the way
[00:50:27] <mrpg> hehe, i didnt know that.
[00:53:54] <mrpg> GitHub received DMCA from MPA over torrent tracker source code - ready
[00:54:18] <mrpg> should it be "The MPA" or it is ok like that?
[00:54:36] <mrpg> I thoguth
[00:55:19] <mrpg> I thought I had mastered the English Language but it seems me fail english which i thoguht was unpossible.
[01:04:37] <mrpg> I like " Japan's PM Vows Olympics Will be Proof of Victory Over Virus" not STEM but random "I dont make mistakes I swear I'll do it"
[01:09:27] <mrpg> 15% of the subs in the queue are trump related
[01:11:04] <mrpg> That's all, I'll wait to see if there comes a good submission, I won't do any other for now.
[02:27:54] <mrpg> bye

[12:13:06] <requerdanos> morning Bytram
[12:13:54] <Bytram> requerdanos: morning!
[12:14:18] <Bytram> got a phone call due in a couple minutes
[12:15:01] <Bytram> saw in another channel that you were in Iraq -- thank you for your service to our country!
[12:15:18] <requerdanos> It was, of course, my honor as well as an adventure.
[12:16:00] <Bytram> how hot was it?
[12:16:35] <requerdanos> hottest we saw was I guess 130F. had to wear gloves to keep from burning hands. cold weather sleeping bags kept the heat *out*.
[12:17:27] <Bytram> that actually makes sense... yikes!
[12:17:49] * Bytram turns into mush at 100+F
[12:18:05] <requerdanos> oh, no worries, it's a "dry heat" heh
[12:18:50] <requerdanos> our training was "drink water and you'll be fine", and that's how it turned out. very little acclimation needed other than learning to drink more water.
[12:20:47] <requerdanos> Trump last minute pardons doesn't seem to have a nexus, how does that work?
[12:21:42] * Bytram remembers going on a vacation. temp was 100F. 2-hour drive. had a 6-pack of iced tea on ice in a cooler in passenger seat. Drank all of it during the drive. Sweat so much had no desire or need to stop and take a leak.
[12:21:58] <Bytram> Hmmmm?
[12:22:02] * Bytram goes to look

[12:24:06] <requerdanos> order is immaterial. okay, wouldn't have guessed that....
[12:24:52] <chromas> I think the only case where the order counts is in picking the topic icon
[12:25:12] <Bytram> it's intuitively casual to the most obvious observer! :/
[12:26:10] <chromas> like most of rehash ;)

[20:11:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, requerdanos, Fnord666, janrinok: yall reckon we should slow the one-a-day for politics up since we're pacing significantly slower nowadays?
[20:13:47] <Fnord666> translate.google.com ?
[20:17:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> Fnord666, i mean we started doing one a day when we had a lot more stories happening per day. if we still do one a day now that we're pushing less stories, politics takes up a bigger chunk of our stories.
[20:18:15] <Fnord666> Thanks for the clarification.
[20:18:45] <Fnord666> I wasn't sure since a significant portion of our submissions are politics right now.
[20:19:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, whiny bitches gotta whine
[20:21:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> remind me and i'll see if i can rig yall up a mass fuck-off-and-die-with-reason thing here after the move

[20:22:03] <requerdanos> looking at SITE: Stories, looks like only two politics stories over the last five days. That sound about right?

[20:24:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, i see three that should be Politics on the front page
[20:24:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> sorry, two
[20:25:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> the trump story will make it three though
[20:27:12] <requerdanos> point taken.
[20:29:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, don't take this as someone with godlike admin powers swinging his huge member around. my shat don't carry any more inherent weight in #editorial than any user's.
[20:30:44] <requerdanos> I am personally all for reducing politics stories, more STEM stories, and more cool stuff nerds like.
[20:31:35] <requerdanos> Hopefully with the change in administration the politics stories will naturally slow down, hm?
[20:32:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, you just keep thinking that
[20:32:51] <requerdanos> I know the ajit pai story not being marked politics was kind of cheating, but surely it makes people happy to see ajit pai go
[20:33:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> getting republicans to protest at all ain't easy, getting them to have a riot and storm the capitol means they're more pissed off than they've been in your lifetime.
[20:33:19] <chromas> They might. It's not like politics got worse four years ago...it was just talked about a whole lot more, and injected into all the mostly nonpolitical news sites
[20:42:43] <requerdanos> It would be nice if the politics stories that are of note would space out and slow down.
[20:50:16] SedBot is now known as cron
[21:04:59] <Fnord666> They can't throw the corporate shill Ajit Pai out fast enough for me.
[21:06:15] <Fnord666> TheMightyBuzzard looking forward to a mass fuck-off-and-die-with-reason button on the submissions page. :)
[21:14:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> far as i'm concerned, if they don't have a tech angle, fuck em.
