[03:49:22] * Bytram just submitted 3 stories to help us make it past morning
[03:54:15] * Bytram rubs his eyes in amazement... is looking at a submission by Aristarchs... and it's quite level-headed. NICE!
[03:54:34] <Fnord666> how the heck did that happen?
[03:55:00] <Fnord666> someone stole his credentials and in an ironic twist of fate posted a reasonable submission?
[03:55:11] * Bytram doesn't know... maybe JR's little e-mail reached a nerve?

[03:58:21] <Fnord666> replace the dept if you feel it's too much
[03:58:46] * Bytram replaces the link to science daily.
[03:59:10] <Bytram> it's become a habit whenever I see a link to SD, to scroll down and see where they got it from.
[03:59:27] <Bytram> here, it's "Materials provided by University of Maryland. Note: Content may be edited for style and length."

[03:59:58] * Bytram adds link to journal article, too.
[04:02:37] <Fnord666> I do that most of the time as well if there's a link.
[04:03:11] <Fnord666> If it's marked as edited though then I have to cross check against the quoted material and the original story.

[04:03:30] <Bytram> super wood is the breakfast of super termites
[04:03:38] <Bytram> :/
[04:03:54] <Fnord666> as good as any
[04:04:07] <Fnord666> too edgy with the superman's wood eh?
[04:04:10] <Bytram> yeah, the muses are not being very generous this evening
[04:04:34] <Bytram> just a bit... I come from a more, umm, reserved background than most
[04:04:39] <Fnord666> lol
[04:04:55] <Fnord666> it was that kind of day when I came up with it.
[04:05:14] <Fnord666> super breakfast it is
[04:05:16] <Bytram> though I suspect the vast proportion of the community is male, there's no need to continue the typical male stereotypes
[04:05:40] <Bytram> breakfast of super termites
[04:05:46] <Fnord666> works
[04:06:16] <Bytram> leaves a bit more of the joke pending... "always leave the keyword for the end"
[04:06:26] <Bytram> updated
[04:06:35] <Bytram> Fnord666: and how are you doing this fine evening?
[04:06:53] <Bytram> 2nding quebec crypto
[04:07:02] <Fnord666> reasonably well for a Thursday. And yourself?
[04:07:45] <Bytram> had the day off after leaving work early yesterday (a bit under the weather) a couple good naps have helped greatly
[04:08:08] <Bytram> (Thursday is my usual day off)
[04:08:08] <Fnord666> that's good.
[04:08:12] <Fnord666> nap++

[04:09:49] <Fnord666> I'm off to one of our data centers tomorrow to work with some new crypto hardware.
[04:10:08] <Bytram> feel free to augment any of the three stories I subbed a short while ago. Pretty bare-bones atm, but sufficient if need be.
