[10:07:47] <spiraldancing_> So, y'know, LTNS ... laptop OS melted down a month (or two) back, lost all my Soylent IRC settings along with a bunch of other stuff. Just getting back to Soylent now.
[10:13:39] <spiraldancing_> Side-note ... I have an old SoylentNews submission/article bookmarked, except the link no longer works, and I was passingly curious as to what happened to it? The date is built into the link, and I scrolled through that entire day's items, and this article is no longer there.

[11:46:35] <Bytram> spiraldancing: do you remember the title or anytying about the story?
[11:49:17] <spiraldancing_> Oh hi, Bytram ... I have a brief summary description of the article, that I jotted down at the time along with the link.
[11:49:45] <Bytram> go ahead
[11:49:51] <spiraldancing_> Here is my verbatim notes on the article --
[11:50:06] <spiraldancing_> Article/Study suggests increased belly fat, less muscle (and, more broadly, biological aging—rather than chrono) contributes to poorer Gf. https://soylentnews.org

[11:50:40] <Bytram> k
[11:51:03] <spiraldancing_> "Gf" referring to a particular type of intelligence quotient, called fluid intelligence.
[11:51:07] <Bytram> gf?
[11:51:20] <Bytram> ok!
[11:52:18] <Bytram> was posted on site?
[11:53:21] <spiraldancing_> This is a 6-month-old note. I do not explicitly recall, but the way I have it recorded in my notes ... yeah, I'm pretty sure it was just one more regular post on SN, that I saved for future consumption.
[11:53:52] <Bytram> this it?
[11:53:53] <Bytram> https://soylentnews.org
[11:53:54] <spiraldancing_> More to the point, I don't know where else I would have gotten it.

[11:55:15] <spiraldancing_> Ah-ha ... looks like I clipped the last digit of the ID ... and the embedded date in the link is a bit "off" from the actual posted date.
[11:55:25] <spiraldancing_> Yeah, that's gotta be it.
[11:55:27] <spiraldancing_> Thanx.
[11:55:33] <Bytram> =)
[11:55:51] <Bytram> happy to help!
[11:59:54] <spiraldancing_> So, I've completely lost track of what-all connectivity I had set up here ... don't know what the status is on SN's editorial work force, etc.
[12:00:01] <Bytram> those IDs are non-sequential, so that must be it! =)
[12:01:25] <spiraldancing_> Should I get myself integrated back into the editorial community, IRC, etc? Do y'all still want/need help (especially recalling, (ahem), how *immensely* helpful I was the first time around ... )?

[20:40:25] <Fnord666> Bytram, thank you so much for feeding the queue!!

[20:40:57] <Bender> karma - alltheeds: 1
[20:41:47] <Fnord666> :)
[20:44:48] <Fnord666> I ended up working until 5am this morning with no chance to tend the queues.
[20:47:39] <Deucalion> Fnord666, I feel that pain. Work for me at the moment is either nothing for days or 24/7 ballsout for days as customers come "back online".....
[20:48:42] <Fnord666> ugh. The crunch is real!
[20:58:39] <Deucalion> At least I have work. +1mill added to the unemployed numbers here in the UK.... I'm not complaining about my situation. I get paid basic just over nothing if sitting on my ass, then in the 24/7 crunches I get OT out the ass. The OT is more than my usual take home. Which is all fine from a $ perspective but the stop / go nature of the whole thing is truly fucking me up physically and mentally. I feel completely detached from reality.

[23:53:48] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: o/ Still going to Buffalo?
[23:54:01] <Bytram> Good luck!
[23:54:15] <AzumaHazuki> already there. i have had...a day. i've been all over, learned a bunch of bus routes, all on an hour's sleep
[23:54:39] <Bytram> oi!
[23:54:44] <AzumaHazuki> found two potential rentals, one very cheap, one that works out to $50 more than i pay now and is all inclusive in a nice building, both very well located for transport
[23:55:12] <Bytram> sounds like progress!
[23:55:27] <Bytram> jobs?
[23:55:37] <AzumaHazuki> we won't know until i get a transfer approval, and i'll need to float between pharmacies most likely
[23:55:58] <Bytram> +
[23:56:06] <AzumaHazuki> several of them need people but don't have full time hours. i am insanely fast and efficient, so will likely be bounced around 3 or 4 of them as a kind of floating fixer
[23:56:29] <Bytram> look at any place else?
[23:56:42] <AzumaHazuki> just buffalo. i can walk to canada from here, ye ken
[23:57:18] <Bytram> oui!
[23:57:47] <AzumaHazuki> if this floater thing gets too grating i might be able to get hired as a tech at one of several hospitals here
[23:57:56] <Bytram> I meant any other pharmacies?
[23:58:07] <Bytram> yay!
[23:59:00] <AzumaHazuki> this city is...odd. the geometry is wrong. it looks like a bijou Manhattan had a baby with Chicago, then bolted on a bunch of midwestern suburban decay, THEN added some urban rot, THEN tacked on what i am fairly sure is a suburban vision of heaven up north
[23:59:35] <Bytram> behind the scenes? Or dealing with the custoners?
[23:59:35] <AzumaHazuki> Niagara Avenue looks like urban blight personified but you can see high rises downtown not 6 blocks away. no transition at all. it's the weirdest thing
[23:59:52] <AzumaHazuki> with any luck as inpatient, but if i have to do outpatient i can
