[00:41:42] <Fnord666> As wit hanything built for walmart, you have to ask yourself where they cut corners in order to meet the pricing Walmart wants.
[00:59:13] <Bytram> same model is offerred elsewhere

[02:42:21] <Fnord666> lol
[02:42:31] <Fnord666> i just posted the other 5g story
[02:42:52] <Fnord666> I saw the stomach bug story. Nasty stuff
[02:43:05] <Bytram> ever have it?
[02:43:38] <Fnord666> norovirus? Thankfully no.
[02:43:41] <Bytram> give that to an opposing military force and you could walk right through 'em... so long as you didn't breathe or touch anything.
[02:44:19] <Fnord666> Maybe I should time slot the story for right before lunch?
[02:44:29] <Bytram> I've had worse things happen in my life, but that is certainly in my top 10 things I'd never want to repeat in *my* life!
[02:44:51] <Bytram> ~burrito

[02:44:58] * exec chucks a nasty, rotten burrito at Fnord666
[02:45:10] <Fnord666> Probably against several conventions of war to use a bioweapon like that
[02:45:25] <Bytram> and for good reason, too.
[02:45:54] <Fnord666> dehydration is no joke either
[02:46:03] <Bytram> glad to know that *someone* had their head on straight when including those in the list of Do. Not. Do. That.
[02:47:01] <Fnord666> put the story in the "careers and education" topic?
[02:47:36] * Bytram adds the bloomberg link to the 5G story

[02:48:38] <Bytram> ^^^ that one, too.
[02:49:56] <Bytram> oh, wait...
[02:51:25] <Fnord666> The most likely cause of getting norovirus at a party is the handles on utensils used to serve the food, especially if it's self serve
[02:51:38] <Bytram> both stories are about 5G, but the one you pushed out is about weather forecasting where these ^^^ are about a different band in the radio spectrum that the DOD is concerned could affect GPS
[02:52:13] <Bytram> So... just reach in and grab things with your bare hand!
[02:52:13] <Fnord666> Could run it separately or as a "speaking of 5g" sort of thing
[02:52:18] <Bytram> I
[02:52:33] <Bytram> I'll pull my links from your story.
[02:52:34] <Fnord666> No, wash your hands after getting your food but before digging in...
[02:53:07] <Bytram> Makes sense, thanks!

[02:56:46] <Fnord666> np
[02:57:12] <Bytram> Fnord666: and... if I am doing my math correctly, let me be the first to congratulate you on posting your 4,000th story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[02:57:46] <Fnord666> Why thank you. I was just noticing how close you are to 8,000!!!!
[02:58:21] <Bytram> got slowed down a bit when I was in the hospital and during my early recovery.
[02:58:41] <Bytram> I still have a bit over 100 more to go before I get there.
[02:59:26] <Fnord666> PM?
[02:59:46] <Bytram> If I can keep posting 3 more stories per day, I should reach 8,000 before the year is out... but with the crazy hours of retail during the holiday season, that could be a challenge.

[09:08:49] <janrinok> I want a pink unicorn farting rainbow stars
[09:11:11] <janrinok> yuhong, may I respectfully suggest you put it in your journal - by tomorrow if you wish
[09:12:08] <yuhong> I think I already have one in my journal.
[09:12:20] <yuhong> But I can copy the full text if you wish.

[09:16:46] <janrinok> I have the full text! What we want is a summary which explains what you have written about, why you think it is worth discussing, and including some extracts. But if it is already in your journal then people who want to read it can already do so. Why do you think that it is so time critical? Won't the information be correct by the end of the week?
[09:20:21] <yuhong> Yes, the overview does still have problems.

[10:40:26] <janrinok> However, if you want to ask Google for comments then you are, of course, free to do so.
