[11:35:06] <Bytram> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[11:35:08] * exec abnormally nudges an example of cream pie toward TheMightyBuzzard
[11:35:20] <Bytram> seems that milk is in both our futures
[11:35:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> could go either way depending on if they're euphemisms or not
[11:35:47] <chromas> 'milk'
[11:36:01] <Bytram> takyon++ many thanks top you for your continued prodigious submissions!
[11:36:01] <Bender> karma - takyon: 67
[11:36:06] <Bytram> heh
[11:36:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday chromeass
[11:36:55] * exec retroactively scissors a scrote of false promises for chromeass
[11:37:03] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: given this seems to be a day where a number of sites are protesting the FCC's efforts to revoke net neutrality, any ideas if there is anything we can/could/should do in support of that?
[11:37:28] * Bytram was thinking of maybe a different color scheme, OR an extra line in the top banner or something.
[11:38:32] <chromas> ~g'day buzz, martys
[11:38:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> run a story with no text and https://www.youtube.com embedded?

[11:38:34] * exec brazenly kipes a 5¼" floppy disk of SirFinkus' Soylent coffee drink from buzz,
[11:38:36] <exec> └─ 13Eric Idle- The FCC Song (Fuck The FCC) - YouTube
[11:38:39] <chromas> You must share the prize
[11:39:13] <chromas> Yes! Do that link
[11:39:28] <Bytram> though I sahre the sentiment, I suspect something a bit less "off color" would be more effective --
[11:39:54] <Bytram> need less of an "us vs them" approach and more of an "this is what you can expect if it passes"
[11:40:00] <Bytram> coffee++
[11:40:00] <Bender> karma - coffee: 79
[11:40:01] <chromas> Put it in a spoiler tag
[11:40:36] <Bytram> remember, the FCC is the one who is actually *supposed* to be protecting the public from the "big bad corps"
[11:40:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh. i might play around and see if i can hand craft a journal via db with it in there then.
[11:41:15] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:41:22] <chromas> Isn't that the FTC?
[11:41:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup
[11:41:48] <chromas> Just classify internet as a vegetable and let the FDA regulate it
[11:42:07] <Bytram> ordinarily, I'd be more pro-active about it, but I am in MAJOR crunch mode at work... longer hours, more customers, and with the same number of employees... we are all dragging at work and there still a couple weeks til christmas
[11:42:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> the fcc is just supposed to ensure efficient and equitable usage of communications media.
[11:42:21] <chromas> Or Meat. Needs to get here pronto and without preservatives. There's a lot at steak here
[11:42:21] <Bytram> oh, and I'll likely be working wednesday, tooo
[11:42:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> suck
[11:42:39] <Bytram> otoh...
[11:42:49] <Bytram> overtimepay++
[11:42:49] <Bender> karma - overtimepay: 1
[11:43:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> regardless, we're probably not doing shit today for the FCC thing cause we didn't plan anything in advance.
[11:43:10] <Bytram> ~time x
[11:43:12] <exec> Tuesday, 12 December 2017 @ 11:43 am UTC - Coordinated Universal Time
[11:43:38] <Bytram> yup, figured as much. I'd thought about it before, but it's hard to keep track of everything
[11:43:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[11:43:56] <chromas> Just set it to the vomit theme and throttle the pipe
[11:44:05] <chromas> Dial-up days
[11:44:39] <Bytram> nah, we are trying to improve people's awareness, not make 'em want to puke!
[11:45:11] <chromas> still think that theme needs a little ad banner at the top
[11:45:18] <chromas> for the swags
[11:45:56] <Bytram> swags IS in the side bar... but prolly could use some kind of change in format to gather new scrutiny
[11:46:06] <chromas> "Soylent Swage makes you bigger down there. Visit our Internet cyberzone for more"
[11:46:34] <chromas> I was thinking it would make it more geoshitties-like
[11:47:03] <Bytram> I'm working on some kind of state-of-the-site story that would also note that there are over 100 people who had subscriptions lapse and who have accessed the site in the past month... just lack spare time to finish gathering data and time to write it up.
[11:48:33] <Bytram> okay, justpushed out 4 more stories... that should last us until night time EST
[11:48:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> me, i'm just fixing bugs. pull request should be up on dev and github today.
[11:49:46] <Bytram> ugh... NOW I notice a story pertaining to net nutrality... gonna have to move it up in the queue
[11:50:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> har
[11:50:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> just swap it with another
[11:50:24] <Bytram> yup, is what I'm doing
