[22:30:31] <Bytram> chromas: the pole?
[22:30:39] <Bytram> which one... North or South?
[22:30:46] <chromas> The polly of pollies
[22:31:05] * Bytram check his annas and his wants-a-crackers
[22:31:44] <chromas> Oh, we just need a new one and I ain't got no ideas except for dumb stuff
[22:31:58] * Bytram shan't be up late this night... too tired
[22:32:06] <Bytram> oooh, ok
[22:32:09] * Bytram ponders
[22:32:34] <Bytram> How fast is your internet connection?
[22:33:03] <Bytram> leaves ambiguity whether that means one's home (cable/dsl/fiber/dialup) or cell-based
[22:33:34] <Bytram> Which best describes your internet connection?
[22:33:41] <chromas> 10Gb/s, 1Gb/s, 100Mb/s, 57.6kb/s, potato
[22:34:52] <Bytram> <= 1Mbps | <= 5 Mbps | <=15 Mbps | <=50 Mbps | <=100 Mbps | <= 300 Mbps | 1 Gbps
[22:35:16] <Bytram> I don't HAVE an internet connection, you insensitive clod!
[22:35:21] <chromas> There's one more slot. Do you have a joke option?
[22:35:22] <chromas> ah
[22:35:27] <Bytram> =)
[22:36:15] <Bytram> If you want, you can slug through the machinations of trying to clearly demark open- and closed-ended ranges
[22:37:02] <chromas> Good point. Most of those are subsets of their neighbors
[22:37:33] <Bytram> [0 .. 1Mbps] (1 Mbps .. 10 Mbps] (10 Mbps .. 30 Mbps] etc.
[22:37:50] <Bytram> The details are left as an exercise for the poll creator
[22:38:12] <Bytram> hence why I repharased my questions as "which BEST describes your internet conneciton)
[22:38:58] <chromas> 1..10, 10+(1/∞)..30 :D
[22:39:22] <Bytram> #smake chromas
[22:39:22] * MrPlow smakes chromas upside the head with a meaningful stare
[22:39:46] * Bytram heads off to kitchen to see if he can prepare something for dinner
