[09:42:09] <Bytram> ~tell Fnord666 Hey there! Congratulations on blowing past 1400 stories posted to the site! I am very much impressed at how you have joined in, rapidly gotten up-to-speed, and are now pushing out stories at a prodigious rate! Can't thank you enough!!! https://soylentnews.org

[09:56:05] <Bytram> Hey there! Had a fine Black Friday work day, all-in-all. Didn't have the sales volume I would have liked, but ISTM I set a new personal best for hours worked on BF: Thursday 10:52PM through Friday 7:16PM with meal breaks of 50m and 49m respectively... so, a total of 18h45m on the clock, plus an 8h 'bonus' for working on the holiday.
[09:56:39] <Bytram> Many thanks to all of you who tended the story queue while I was off busy beeing a worker bee
[10:00:36] <Bytram> Was a particularly challenging day in one respect... most of our credit card transactions had issues starting at around noon local time and running for a couple hours... am wondering whether that was just us or something problematic across other companies in light of black friday sales volumes and the payment processors unable to handle the load?

[10:04:02] <takyon_> my sub uses that article
[10:04:05] <takyon_> don't want to stamp it out
[10:04:09] <takyon_> good
[10:04:35] <Bytram> I see this link: https://www.bloomberg.com
[10:04:35] <upstart> ^ 03Amazon Merchants Continue to Find Ways to Cheat - Bloomberg
[10:04:41] <takyon_> i don't know if it sis appropriate to merge the two stories
[10:04:58] <takyon_> because it dilutes the merchants cheating one a bit
[10:05:04] <takyon_> didn't see it when i subbed mine
[10:05:29] <Bytram> that was in your sub: https://soylentnews.org

[10:05:35] <takyon_> i know that
[10:05:56] <takyon_> what i'm saying is it would be unfair to run my sub with that headline since it would be sugar coating the other story
[10:06:21] <takyon_> "glossing over"
[10:06:29] * Bytram is REALLY not really awake
[10:07:30] <takyon_> could run both stories back to back
[10:07:57] <Bytram> ummm, trumpeting that Bezos is now worth $100b minimizes the battle going on "under the covers"?
[10:08:21] <Bytram> I don't see any other story from you... so am confused
[10:08:37] <takyon_> https://soylentnews.org
[10:08:38] <Bytram> if you sub it, Id gladly run it back-to-back

[10:09:36] <Bytram> ahhhhh, NOW I see it.
[10:09:41] <Bytram> coffee++
[10:09:41] <Bender> karma - coffee: 77
[10:09:50] <Bytram> sleep++ would prolly be a better idea
[10:09:50] <Bender> karma - sleep: 6
[10:09:58] <takyon_> basically I don't want to trample over the cheating merchant story with my formulation of it
[10:10:08] <takyon_> it's unfair to the AC
[10:10:28] <takyon_> yeah why are you even awake. I probably shouldn't be awake but I did nap
[10:10:32] <Bytram> nod nod -- finally understand ya. thanks for your patience with this sleep-deprived editor's struggling neurons
[10:11:34] <takyon_> it's cool. It's always funny (heroic? bad? #sad?) to see you editing under the influence of no-sleep
[10:11:39] <Bytram> got home and to bed about 8PM yesterday... slept until about 4 AM, took care of 'business' and wanted to calc how many hours I'd worked... see if I exceeded my former person-best.
[10:11:52] <Bytram> takyon_: I'll take that as a complement!
[10:12:01] <Bytram> right now I feel as tarp as a shack!
[10:12:20] <takyon_> when-the-levees-broke
[10:12:45] <Bytram> okay... read the AC sub, will run that one first.

[10:26:22] <Bytram> okay, that makes three added to the story queue... gives us a little breathing room
[10:26:55] <takyon_> get some sleeping time
[10:27:02] <takyon_> in your sleeping room
[10:27:06] <Bytram> and with htat, back to the sack for me... I'm supposed to be back at work in about 3 1/2 hrs
[10:27:09] <Bytram> =)
[10:27:12] <Bytram> mare sea!
[10:27:27] * Bytram chuckles
[10:28:08] <Bytram> takyon_: I was thinking along the same lines but too groggy to phrase it in a humorous way... obliged, again!
[10:28:17] <Bytram> and, with that, laters!
