[01:16:26] <Bytram> takyon: first off, many many thanks for all the stories you submit, and have recently posted, too!
[01:17:06] <Bytram> I noticed you have a story merged and waiting since 2018-09-07... is there still an intention to run that story submission?
[01:50:34] <chromas> Sometimes I wonder if you guys do a story merge with the intent for someone else to publish it, but it doesn't say so, so I leaves it

[23:44:01] <mrpg> WEird, I could connect here (via web) but not with Thunderbird.
[23:44:53] <mrpg> Hey, I just realized the people at DroneBL FINALLY delisted my ip.
[23:45:08] <chromas> a blocklist?
[23:45:24] <mrpg> Yes, the IRC uses http://dronebl.org

[23:45:46] <chromas> freenode?
[23:45:49] <mrpg> So I had to use a VPN to come here.
[23:45:59] <mrpg> No, SN's IRC.
[23:46:04] <chromas> I didn't remember sn using a list. wtf
[23:46:15] <mrpg> thst's what I said.
[23:48:40] <mrpg> I have edited 858 stories. clap clap clap
[23:48:51] <mrpg> Fun fact: sqrt(858) is 29,291637031753619625146038111519
[23:49:41] <chromas> Is that a prime? Can fractions be primes?
[23:51:23] <mrpg> I suppose no.
[23:52:24] <chromas> I actually seriously wondered that until I typed it out
[23:53:08] <mrpg> Hmm.. rationals can be expressed as a fraction.
[23:53:34] <mrpg> So irrationals cant be expressed as a fraction, if I remeber correctly.
[23:53:44] <chromas> four oneths
[23:54:50] <mrpg> Prime numbers are natural.
[23:55:01] <mrpg> That's a good question got me thinking.
[23:55:31] <mrpg> So fractions can be primes: 4/4
