[00:42:34] * SpallsHurgenson tugs mrcoolbp's face, trying to pull off the very obvious latex mask
[00:42:42] <mrcoolbp> Landon: he's so little and unassuming...for now.
[00:43:11] <mrcoolbp> SpallsHurgenson: it's real, but that old man Withers looks mighty shady
[00:49:43] * SpallsHurgenson sees no Withers so starts tugging on everybody's face until the criminal is revealed

[01:50:35] <BadCoderFinger> So.... Bill is Thelma?
[01:51:56] <takyon> and hillary is the monster of the week, according to the GOP
[01:54:20] <BadCoderFinger> I knew it was a mask! I knew it!
[02:09:27] <SpallsHurgenson> if Dem Hillary is Freddy Krueger, then the GOP candidate Romney is Jason Vorhees
[02:09:33] <SpallsHurgenson> whoever wins, we lose :)
[02:10:03] <SpallsHurgenson> that's why I'm voting for Kotos :)

[02:20:56] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[02:25:25] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm... I wonder if anyone would support a kickstarter for an HD remake of the 1982 Atari game, "Custer's Revenge" :)
[02:27:08] <SpallsHurgenson> and ohmigod, somebody actually already made it. The internet is a sick, sick place! :)
[02:30:38] <BadCoderFinger> What, no new ET?
[02:33:23] <takyon> forever buried
[02:33:54] <BadCoderFinger> Surely somebody will do a remake with the half-life engine or something.
[02:34:55] <BadCoderFinger> ET the first-person-shooter. Almost as interesting as every other first-person-shooter.

[02:39:49] <BadCoderFinger> Holy crap, that's funny!
[02:43:10] <SpallsHurgenson> rule 47.3 Paragraph 2: there is no game so shitty that someone won't attempt a remake or port of it
[02:44:07] <BadCoderFinger> That is a sad, sad truth.

[04:50:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Hey, guys, if you're listening, don't post that poll about me I submitted.
[04:51:08] <mrcoolbp> I think I rejected it alread
[04:51:09] <Ethanol-fueled> that was submitted in poor taste while high, and maybe buzzed, and I am not a special snowflake.
[04:51:14] <Ethanol-fueled> good mrcoolbp.
[04:51:25] <mrcoolbp> I do stuff
[04:51:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Thanks.
[04:57:37] <mrcoolbp> ping me anytime you need me to reject one of your stories = )
[04:58:56] <mrcoolbp> Ethanol-fueled: it looks like it was accepted it as there was a bunch of polls that I merged, and one of them ended up getting "run" so you got credit anyway = )
[04:59:10] <Ethanol-fueled> Hey, that works.
[04:59:18] <mrcoolbp> You actually have an alarming acceptance rate
[05:00:25] <mrcoolbp> o.O
[05:00:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Well, I tried to be a good submitter at the other site, but if you weren't eldavojohn your shit wasn't getting accepted.
[05:01:05] <mrcoolbp> we discriminate on content only (I'd like to think)
[05:01:30] <mrcoolbp> we are not perfect, in fact we are a rag-tag team, but we have high standards that we work towards
[05:01:56] <juggs> EF's subs are good quality from what I've noticed (not particularly been on the watch for them mind). The comments - well, ya, that's EF for ya :)
[05:02:35] <mrcoolbp> his karma is capped 90% of the time as well
[05:03:18] <mrcoolbp> he got a "Touché" this week
[05:03:40] <juggs> Man.. we ran a Game of Thrones story.... that makes me a little sad inside for some reason
[05:03:54] <Ethanol-fueled> why is that, juggs? It's a decent show.
[05:03:55] <mrcoolbp> was about piracy my good man = )
[05:04:15] <mrcoolbp> Yeah, it's actually pretty good juggs
[05:04:16] <Ethanol-fueled> more importantly, how HBO admitted that piracy was good for generating buzz.
[05:04:26] <mrcoolbp> yeah, I particularly liked that part
[05:04:38] <Ethanol-fueled> Finally, some sanity.
[05:04:50] <mrcoolbp> that's all you'll get out of me Eth
[05:04:55] <mrcoolbp> don't expect anymore
[05:05:11] <mrcoolbp> oh you were talking about big media ; )
[05:05:45] <Ethanol-fueled> It's reassuring that they're approaching it from a sane and logical perspective.
[05:06:11] <mrcoolbp> agreed, it's cool to see such a big name take a sane stance
[05:06:16] <mrcoolbp> (HBO)
[05:06:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Makes me want to get back into it, in fact. Left off at season 3, episode 2.
[05:06:43] <mrcoolbp> oh damn, you've missed the best parts then
[05:06:56] <Ethanol-fueled> It's like those old Russian novels that dedicate an appendix to listing characters and brief descriptions, because it's much to manage.

[05:14:30] <Ethanol-fueled> hey, I have a stupid question, I never was able to find the answer.
[05:14:38] <Ethanol-fueled> what does ' [...] ' mean?
[05:15:17] <juggs> maybe a snip of content... in what context are you seeing it?
[05:15:32] <Ethanol-fueled> reading posted summaries.
[05:15:44] <juggs> example?
[05:16:27] <Ethanol-fueled> https://soylentnews.org
[05:16:28] <clippit> ^ 03SN article: NSA's Grand Plan to Snowden-Proof Its Data Using the Cloud 04(29 comments)
[05:16:28] <chromas> I think it shows they skipped over some content
[05:16:38] <chromas> instead of having a huge quote
[05:16:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh, that makes sense.
[05:18:08] <juggs> Yep, comparing the source to the summary in that case shows it's a large snip
[05:18:44] <Ethanol-fueled> That's pretty pedantic, but also an important tradition.
[05:18:45] <juggs> Dropped a couple of paragraphs on the first snip in that summary
[05:20:09] <juggs> It also encourages people to read the source and it's not right to put entire articles from other sources verbatim into our aggregation summaries.
[05:41:35] <juggs> Game of Thrones story makes sense to me now - seems HBO have cottoned on that a "leak" of low res episodes up to a cliff-hanger moment increases their net viewership and subsequently income. Maybe they got the memo that "piracy" is not going to be stopped no matter what, so they are looking to manipulate it to their own ends. That's a fairly fundamental shift of atitude if so.
[05:43:47] <Ethanol-fueled> Correct, juggs.
[05:44:32] <Ethanol-fueled> And since we have it at our fingertips now, if we see something bitchin' we're gonna pay to see it in the most bitchin' way possible.
[05:46:38] <juggs> Hopefully, next to go will be geo-locking content access and geo-price-gouging behaviour. I'm sure our brethren over in Aus / NZ would welcome the latter, they seemed to get reamed on price for pretty much everything.
[05:49:36] <Ethanol-fueled> Ugh, that's horrible.

[07:14:54] <juggs> sounds sane to me, makes more sense than sending the heat up the chimney in a crematorium.
[07:20:43] <chromas> or stuffing their veins full of jelly—oops—preservatives
[07:23:34] <crutchy> or mashing them up into soylent green
[07:23:52] <crutchy> oh wait they don't use dead people for that
[07:24:49] <juggs> I think that's pretty much par for the course whether you go burial or crem - funeral house pumps your blood out and pumps in who knows what. I think I'd rather just a hole be dug and my body chucked in it to be eaten by the worms.
[07:25:53] <juggs> fuck the hanging around trying to look healthy when dead while relatives come to view, get me in the ground already.
[07:26:36] <chromas> you could have your body donated to a body farm
[07:26:45] <crutchy> i'd rather be burned. i have an extreme phobia of being buried alive
[07:27:46] <juggs> crutchy, how very 19th century - you could have an above ground bell on a string you can tug

[14:03:21] <janrinok> OK thx
[14:04:18] <janrinok> yourself?
[14:04:39] <SirFinkus> just got up, so don't know yet
[14:05:05] <SirFinkus> no biking I guess though, judging by the weather
[14:05:26] <janrinok> another glorious day here, but it begins to cloud over tomorrow
[14:06:22] <SirFinkus> I forgot, you're in the UK?
[14:06:48] <janrinok> NW France, although I'm a Brit
[14:06:55] <SirFinkus> ahh
[14:07:19] <janrinok> One of the benefits of the EU is that we can live anywhere we want :)
[14:07:55] <paulej72> and pay taxes in both places :)
[14:07:56] <SirFinkus> yeah, that would be nice
[14:08:30] <janrinok> no, we only pay tax once. The only country that taxes people twice that I know of, is your own USA
[14:08:32] <SirFinkus> we get Canada and Mexico, both are pretty meh
[14:08:47] <SirFinkus> and still need to do pita border crossings

[23:51:02] <SirFinkus> oh, I also used turbotax, it was the most condescending piece of software I've ever used
[23:51:37] <chromas> so it's like their ads
[23:52:05] <SirFinkus> it started by asking me how I felt by presenting me with a smiley face, a neutral face, and a frowney face
[23:52:30] <SirFinkus> then every time I clicked something it acted like it was "doing the math" with some whizz-bang animation
[23:52:31] <chromas> lolwtf
[23:52:37] <SirFinkus> I'm not even joking
[23:53:09] <arti> people eat that shit up
[23:53:20] <SirFinkus> but I mean
[23:53:26] <chromas> does it have clippit?
[23:53:27] <SirFinkus> this is targeted at adults?
[23:53:35] <SirFinkus> surely children don't use turbotax
[23:53:51] <chromas> Not Sure
[23:54:12] <arti> people love it, look at how compositing adds flashy stuff to interactions
[23:54:30] <SirFinkus> I doubt people are in the mood when they're doing their taxes
[23:55:08] <SirFinkus> the only reason I used turbo tax was because my parents buy it every year and they had a spare key or w/e
[23:55:41] <arti> lol
[23:55:45] <SirFinkus> I'd never use it if I had to pay money for it, nor would I ever pay a tax preparer to do it for me out of principle
[23:55:58] <arti> why do they buy a new one?
[23:56:17] <SirFinkus> Intuit and HR Block etc lobby against simplifying the tax paying process

[23:57:32] <SirFinkus> all of their software is adware
[23:58:01] <arti> HAHAHA
[23:58:10] <SirFinkus> not an exaggeration either, and the best part is most of their software revolves around putting in personal information
[23:58:15] <arti> "Because TurboTax is built for a specific tax year, you'll need TurboTax 2014 to file your 2014 tax return. There is no way to update your TurboTax 2013 (or earlier) software to handle the 2014 tax law changes."
[23:58:42] <SirFinkus> so a company I worked with would get robocalls from them because they scraped our phone number from quickbooks
