[23:59:58] <Landon> oh ffs
[23:59:30] <Landon> just a little bit after I got off the computer for the night: 02:09:52 [freenode] No PONG reply from server ipv6.irc.freenode.net in 121 seconds, disconnecting
[23:59:08] <Landon> at least, no notification
[23:59:05] <Landon> nope
[23:58:33] <JamesNZ> K-lined, you are!
[23:58:03] <Landon> but it's like I've been greylisted from irc itself
[23:57:56] <Landon> ping works in a timely fashion
[23:57:51] <Landon> what did I do for all this hate, freenode :|
[23:57:45] <Landon> irc.freenode.net doesn't work either

[23:20:51] <takyon> we need a jp nexus
[23:18:54] <SirFinkus> lol slashdot.jp went "beta"
[23:11:30] <paulej72> quicker turnaround
[23:11:18] <paulej72> i have been editing the live files and restarted on dev :)
[23:10:53] <NCommander> folder on lithium
[23:10:48] <NCommander> paulej72, I would have pushed from the src/ncommander-rehash bthing
[23:10:43] <paulej72> thanks
[23:10:37] <paulej72> get section that is probably it.
[23:10:24] <paulej72> I was there but I did not see them.
[23:10:19] <NCommander> I may have set a second one in getSection as well on dev
[23:10:05] <NCommander> git diff would find them, I didn't commit them
[23:09:54] <NCommander> paulej72, in the getSkins() function
[23:09:46] <paulej72> sure, NCommander but do you remember where you set those dumpers?
[23:08:54] <NCommander> Then I can dedicate the rest of the evening to SN debugging
[23:08:46] <NCommander> I need to write a report on the amount of clusterfuckery I did in RL today
[23:08:44] <paulej72> and getSkins is called like one million times a page it seems like
[23:08:34] <NCommander> t
[23:08:32] <NCommander> And sometimes don
[23:08:30] <NCommander> paulej72, yeah, which is why we occassionalyy get correct behavior
[23:08:16] <paulej72> what I am seeing is that getSkins will show the 3 skins for some time, then start showing only 2 and 3. it is like the cache is overwritten with improper data
[23:07:35] * LaDarius brings the secondary bottle of booze.
[23:06:58] <paulej72> primaryskid is what stories use to set thier nexus
[23:06:24] <NCommander> IMHO, burning primaryskid with fire might be the way to go, its relatively pointless
[23:06:09] <NCommander> paulej72, I think something is checking primaryskid and excluding it
[23:05:52] <paulej72> NCommander: we also need to clean up the skin vs section code as it a fuxking mess. I am just fixing the big holes for now.
[23:04:23] <paulej72> NCommander: I saw you set som data dumpers, do you remember where. your dumps consistenly have the missing mainpage skin
[23:03:48] <NCommander> paulej72, oh perfect, i can just take NJTransit when I get to NYC
[23:03:38] <paulej72> NCommander: in Princeton, NJ most of the time
[23:03:37] <NCommander> paulej72, that's where my brain melted last night
[23:03:20] <paulej72> I am trying to track down the issue with getSkins returning a set of skins minus the mainpage
[23:02:54] <NCommander> paulej72, you're in PA right, I feel an urge to hand deliver a six pack
[23:02:24] <paulej72> I got a bunch of the bugs fixed
[23:02:14] <NCommander> paulej72, I was watching on the site for breakage, but a small favor turned out to take seven horus >.>;
[23:02:04] <paulej72> yay
[23:01:54] <NCommander> paulej72, I just gome home
[22:58:23] -!- TLA has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[22:54:39] <paulej72> NCommander set some debug vars and I want to see where he set them so I can see what he was seeing.
[22:54:30] <LaDarius> Don't kick yourself pauley.
[22:54:04] <paulej72> Got what seems like most of them, but we still have a problem with getting nexus info reliably.
[22:53:13] <paulej72> Well trying to kill the biggest of the bugs left from ysterday's upgrade to rehash
[22:52:29] <TLA> site problems?
[22:52:26] <takyon> so you wish pain on NCommander
[22:52:04] <paulej72> I wish NCommander would come back online

[22:33:53] <LaDarius> Thanks for your 20K larry.
[22:33:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> ugh, gotta fix a lot of metadata because Calibre is stupid.
[22:33:30] <LaDarius> They had the phased array version, they weren't self-enclosed and flooded the electronics when they capsized.

[22:30:51] <crutchy> if i see arnold swartzanegger shooting up the boston dynamics engineering offices i will know that judgement day has been temporarily averted

[22:30:23] <TLA> .50 doesn't need to go round, ever seen what 660 grains does to an engine block?
[22:30:18] * AndyTheAbsurd wonders which of these Philip K. Dick books to read first.
[22:30:06] <n1> free market ftw
[22:29:50] <LaDarius> Teledyne is a conglomerate that basically buys startups or other niche technology so that competition is minimized.
[22:29:12] <LaDarius> The conditions were very favorable to me.
[22:29:01] <crutchy> like that robot dog that is going to evolve into the terminator
[22:28:59] <LaDarius> K_benzoate, the reaons are long and complicated. The short answer is that I volunteered.
[22:28:36] <crutchy> sounds like a DARPA thing
[22:28:33] <K_benzoate> Why did they let you go?
[22:28:28] <crutchy> .50 cal bullet that can maneuverer?
[22:28:04] <LaDarius> Now that I'm laid off and have nothing to lose, I'll show you all where I worked.
[22:27:47] <LaDarius> teledyne rocked. Their imaging systems division made the sensor for the .50 cal bullet that can manuver around walls.
[22:27:22] <crutchy> teradyne is how kim jong il pronounces teledyne
[22:27:12] <AndyTheAbsurd> (although I knew one guy at Teledyne as well.)
[22:27:02] <LaDarius> I know that, but still
[22:26:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> Teradyne != Teledyne.
[22:26:39] <LaDarius> andytheabsurd, I just got laid off from teledyne
[22:26:31] <crutchy> as long as you don't believe in liberty or sound money or any of that garbage that helps build free countries. i think rand paul has become the villain of washington since his stance against the "patriot" act
[22:26:24] * AndyTheAbsurd wonders if anybody he knew at Teradyne is still there
[22:26:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> There's more than that. A lot of it (Raytheon and a bunch others) does require security clearance.
[22:26:06] <n1> im sure there's a job out there
[22:26:03] <n1> if you can spin bad data into good news, and somehow tie that to the internet of things and data security
[22:25:12] <n1> tell everyone what they want to hear
[22:24:46] <LaDarius> Bluefin
[22:24:34] <crutchy> just tell everyone you're part of a minority and you're in
[22:24:33] <LaDarius> Woods hole, Hydroid, FSI, etc.
[22:24:21] <LaDarius> andytheabsurd - there's a lot of good underwater electronic work in that area, but not much else./
[22:24:18] <n1> dont think you need a law degree to become a lobbyist
[22:23:54] <LaDarius> sheeeit, crutchy, gimme a law degree and I might.
[22:23:30] <crutchy> move to dc and become a lobbyist. its probably the best job in the country atm
[22:23:29] <LaDarius> I need physical technology, not just programming stuff. It'd be like going to Hollywood and trying to become an actor.
[22:23:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Then move to Boston and take the MBTA everywhere. Some other asshole gets to deal with the traffic. :)
[22:22:52] <crutchy> or whatever its called
[22:22:49] <LaDarius> andytheabsurd, I hate traffic. San Diego's traffic is bad enough.
[22:22:48] <crutchy> or san jose
[22:22:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> LaDarius: you could at least move to San Francisco, which has a HUGE tech sector.
[22:22:22] <n1> unless i want to join in on the ol' debt slavery
[22:22:21] <LaDarius> And I don't want a security clearance again.
[22:22:11] <LaDarius> and Boeing, but not much else.
[22:22:08] <n1> unless things really go well, a life on the road is the best i can hope for
[22:22:05] <crutchy> you could become a dalek
[22:21:57] <crutchy> washington has macroshaft
[22:21:40] <LaDarius> I'm stuck here in San Diego because of its tech industry. Honestly, if I could get a tech job in Oregon or Washington I'd probably move there.
[22:21:24] <TLA> bb, food calling me.
[22:20:55] <crutchy> or California
[22:20:33] <TLA> or you could call it "Davidianville"? "Jonestown"?
[22:20:15] <n1> however if things work out, i will be able to take work with me in the next year

[22:19:54] <LaDarius> Or some tiny polynesian island where I can kill all the men and rape all the women, and raise my own private army. I'll call it "Zanzibar," or "Outer Heaven."
[22:19:43] <n1> going to move somewhere
[22:19:39] <TLA> mmm, that'd be nice, I'd probably do better in say West Africa though - I don't do cold.
[22:19:00] <LaDarius> Welp, time to move to Iceland.
[22:18:39] <n1> or at best on its way out
[22:18:37] <n1> the old world of salaried employment is over
[22:18:33] -!- crutchy [crutchy!~crutchy@709-27-2-01.cust.aussiebb.net] has joined #Soylent
[22:17:29] <LaDarius> that sucks n1.
[22:17:24] <TLA> and I've written some absolutely awesome legal arguments
[22:17:14] <n1> i could do better, if i lived somewhere else, but obligations to the older generations of the family keep me stuck here at the moment
[22:16:22] <n1> the value i can add, prices me out of having my own home or any stability
[22:16:20] <TLA> I would love a full time, salaried job. There's fuck all about though. Litigation assistance is rare work, but there's no way I'll allow myself to be constrained by the Law Society by going to work for a Panel member. When I write I write the truth as I see it, not how someone else orders me to frame it to fit someone else's wider agenda
[22:16:02] <n1> continues to price me out of existing
[22:15:57] <n1> the work i mentioned before, that im doing
[22:15:47] <LaDarius> n1, it's economic voodoo.
[22:15:38] <n1> the economy is a ponzi scheme
[22:15:08] <LaDarius> (not including the 15K in student loans I'm gonna hafta pay back after I graduate)
[22:14:36] <LaDarius> Not being able to reproduce or hold a long-term relationship is probably the only reason why my chin is above water right now.
[22:14:23] <n1> LaDarius, same
[22:13:51] <LaDarius> n1, if I had family (as many men my age do), I'd be fucked.
[22:13:35] <n1> because fuck them if they're going to get paid a living wage
[22:13:29] <n1> 1%ers hire these people im talking about, pay them shit knowing the tab will be picked up elsewhere
[22:13:23] <LaDarius> TLA, if you get a real job, you'll certainly miss doing what you're doing now for money.
[22:12:39] <TLA> I'll disclose now, I make money by doing paper research and by writing legal documents. Lately I've photoshot a wedding and I'm in the middle of decorating a house. I feel very underutilised, and that's a very bad thing for me, but at least I'm out doing *something* just to be able to eat.
[22:12:31] <n1> and having to rely on the welfare state to keep them available
[22:12:29] <LaDarius> that sucks.
[22:12:19] <n1> but they're all on low wages, 0 hours or self employed
[22:12:09] <n1> i know people who have picked up work in the last couple of years after struggling
[22:10:25] <n1> :(
[22:09:54] <TLA> and how many have been cut cold by the DWP and have to take whatever cash in hand work comes their way? I count myself in this segment, as that's the situation I'm in and have been in for the past fifteen months - technically it's known as abject poverty.
[22:09:28] <n1> i saw it all, it's a fucking scam the whole way around
[22:09:21] <n1> before i really went out on my own 3 years ago
[22:09:05] <n1> but because it's self-employment, it's just a job so it counts and also shows how so many are hard working business minded people
[22:08:44] <n1> and how many have been forced into self-employment and are earning shit
[22:08:24] <TLA> ask yourself though, how many of that apparently gainfully employed 30-million-strong workforce are on zero hours contracts?
[22:08:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> oh...guess I didn't read enough scrollback, then. (Just what was visible below my browser window, which is only a handful of lines)
[22:07:15] <TLA> if I'd made hat kind of error I'd've ended up claiming that 30 million people are unemployed.
[22:07:15] <n1> should get me some of that buy-to-let action
[22:07:09] <n1> thats what the DailyMail is telling me to aspire to anyway
[22:07:01] <n1> Landon, maybe i could aspire to that
[22:06:36] <LaDarius> andytheabsurd - in Amerika people who have given up looking for work are not counted amongst the unemployed.
[22:06:35] <TLA> Andy, that's why I subtracted them as well.
[22:06:04] <LaDarius> hahah n1 is a slumlord
[22:05:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> TLA: you know that children and pensioners are generally not counted in unemployment numbers...right?
[22:05:39] <n1> only reason im making any money at the moment (self employed, small business owner) is because of Middle East money investing into the housing bubble in the south east.
[22:05:20] <TLA> I would just clench my buttcheeks together and snap the sanctimonious cunt's cock off.
[22:04:47] <n1> IDS would tell you to STFU and swallow
[22:04:17] <TLA> DTI's own numbers, if they're to be believed: 30 million workforce. Department for Children: 11.5 million children. DWP: 10 million pensioners. Total UK population: 60 million (round figure). Subtract others from the total, that leaves 8.5 million unemployed. That's NOT 2% unemployment the Government claims.
[22:03:45] <pants--> ^ 03Supreme Court Sides With Immigrant Caught With Pills In His Sock : It's All Politics : NPR
[22:03:45] <takyon> http://www.npr.org
[22:03:28] <n1> "The Confederation of British Industry is a UK business organisation, which in total speaks for 190,000 businesses"
[22:02:34] <n1> just like the BoE wouldn't purposefully leak data about the EU exit to help convince the population the gov is serious and the referendum will have real meaning
[22:01:37] <n1> CBI can't possibly be bias, wouldn't dare try and massage the numbers to help the government
[22:01:03] <TLA> only 800 businesses? I could throw a stone in any direction and hit 800 businesses.
[22:01:03] <n1> see how it works...
[22:00:59] <n1> "UK exports are likely to be helped by renewed momentum in the euro area but the stronger pound and weak demand in many overseas markets continue to pose challenges."
[22:00:50] <n1> "In April official figures revealed the UK economy grew by 0.3% in the first three months of 2015, which marked the slowest quarterly growth for two years."
[22:00:12] <n1> and things are going awesome
[22:00:08] <n1> but the CBI has but a no-data spin on it saying they talked to 800 businesses
[22:00:07] * LaDarius can't complain about being laid off, though...*smokes joint*
[21:59:55] <n1> official statistics say it's slowing
[21:59:51] <LaDarius> never mind that domestic manufacturing has been gutted.
[21:59:25] <LaDarius> n1, it's the same thing in America. News about the "economy picking up" because McDonalds and Wal-Mart are hiring seasonal workers.
[21:58:57] <n1> except one point about 'momentum in the eurozone' happens to be at the same time ECB QE started
[21:58:39] <LaDarius> At some point you gotta stop the growth and figure out a way to do things more efficiently.
[21:58:39] <n1> with no data to back it up that i saw
[21:58:35] <n1> also noted the CBI report about 'business stepping up a few gears'
[21:58:16] <LaDarius> yeah, good point N1. It's like cancer.
[21:58:13] <n1> much like how QE works
[21:58:03] <n1> and eventually it will be big enough to work well
[21:58:02] <TLA> yep, were it me I would have been SOOO bummed out. I don't drink, but I'd've been knocking back the strongest shit I could lay my hands on.
[21:57:58] <n1> so lets make it bigger
[21:57:55] <n1> but the way we're trying to solve that is having a big government that doesnt work well
[21:57:47] <n1> i agree generally
[21:57:20] <LaDarius> n1, Big government is not a bad thing as long as it functions well.
[21:57:00] <LaDarius> Damn TLA, that's straight crooked in an open way.
[21:56:05] <TLA> Slovenia won that one by just ONE point
[21:56:05] <n1> or not even that, what spin you want on the tyranny
[21:55:47] <Leebert> ALthough I'm an American, I can honestly say that I would have hated life if Ed Miliband had ended up as PM.
[21:55:40] <n1> so it's just a case of how quick we want to march to tyranny
[21:55:33] <TLA> my mum told me about an ice hockey tour she followed a couple years ago, there's England, France, Italy and Slovenia in a four way league. England needed like 28 goals clear to win outright, Italy and Slovenia knew they couldn't let that happen so Italy - with easily the best team on the league - called in the reserve netminder and threw the game 30-0. Nothing England could do because there was no paper trail
[21:55:31] <n1> lesser of two evils just means they can get a little more evil every time and you cant do shit
[21:54:09] <n1> there is no 'small government, invidual liberty and freedom' perspective in the UK
[21:52:42] <n1> not in those words, but that was the point made
[21:52:15] <n1> when i made the point about there is no one representing me, it was because 'why would they, you're on the edge, much more important to court the swing voters'
[21:52:12] <LaDarius> Lester Maddox for president!
[21:51:59] <LaDarius> TLA, fuck that. Fuck strategic voting.
[21:51:34] <TLA> problem is in a two party system you've got to go with the lesser of two evils... there's no such thing as "none of the above", the incumbent would walk it.
[21:51:29] <n1> as i hold a minority point of view
[21:51:24] <LaDarius> Americans are fucked either way is what I meant to say. I don't know enough about Brit politics to determine whether or not they're fucked.

[21:51:08] <n1> i was told by someone, in the political system
[21:50:36] <LaDarius> n1, the way this American sees it, you're fucked either way, so you might as well vote for your principles even though your dog ain't gonna win the fight.
[21:50:21] <n1> and that annoying american woman 'if you voted ed milliband could have been PM!'
[21:50:02] <n1> 'you have to vote for the lesser evil' was the best they could come up with
[21:49:54] <TLA> that was probably more due to Al Murray only getting 30 votes tho
[21:49:54] <LaDarius> Rioting and shit.

[21:49:29] <n1> not a fan of his either, but he did pretty well
[21:49:26] <TLA> saw it, don't remember much, I think I might have been in a sort of foggy shock.
[21:49:19] <n1> i thought he was very good
[21:49:10] <n1> yeah

[21:45:15] <TLA> yeah often it's an external viewpoint that gets me thinking about things from another angle and seeing things that well, basically, I've been staring at that float for so long I didn't notice when the tip disappeared

[21:44:46] <n1> TLA, it might be me being overly cynical
[21:44:26] <n1> just when im on the edge of giving up and saying fuck it all, i read something that inspires me to keep on trying to spread awareness and engage with people on political topics
[21:43:49] <n1> i think i would be apathetic
[21:43:44] <n1> if it wasn't for reading insightful comments on a few websites, including here
[21:43:35] <LaDarius> I'm excited at the prospect of Rand Paul for prez, but also jaded because "hope and change" is the same bullshit tagline that got Obama elected twice.
[21:43:34] <TLA> Johnson as mayor of london AND an MP, let's look at this object lesson in conflict of interests...
[21:42:55] <n1> support people, who win, to get fucked in the ass by it... i dont know how people drink the koolaid for decades.
[21:42:46] <TLA> jaded isn't the dangerous part, it's when apathy kicked in - that's when everything's boned.
[21:42:33] <n1> it's been a great introduction to democracy...
[21:42:27] <n1> also, Boris Johnson as mayor of london
[21:41:27] <n1> jaded doesn't even begin to describe it
[21:41:15] <n1> between watching Obama over in the USA and the LibDem performance in government
[21:41:04] <TLA> craziest thing is, my MP (Greenwood) sent me a card last xmas (I don't do xmas), I've had more interaction with Hemming than her!
[21:40:46] <n1> TLA, i was out the country at the time, but i would have voted for the LibDems in 2010, that worked out super

[21:39:54] <n1> yet the family, even in this safest of safe tory seat
[21:39:32] <n1> i could vote, but in a safest of safe tory seat, i think contributing to this site has far more impact

[21:37:36] <TLA> I did vote, I'm the only person I know personally who voted, and that pisses me off.
[21:37:12] <n1> but you can vote for evil, and then complain about that same evil, because you voted
[21:36:59] <n1> remember, if you dont vote, you cant complain
[21:36:35] <n1> except that they have to, otherwise it undermines everything they were taught to believe in
[21:36:20] <n1> i dont understand how people do the mental gymnastics to justify the situation
[21:36:11] <n1> logic has no place in politics
[21:35:34] <n1> apparently so
[21:35:28] <TLA> democracy? Has something to do with old men sending young men to die in some other man's desert.
[21:35:13] <n1> "that is democracy"
[21:35:12] <n1> when i brought up that point with different people
[21:35:06] <n1> i will say again what i was told
[21:34:24] <n1> "that is democracy"
[21:34:23] <TLA> but the SNP has 1/12 of the total voting strength in the Commons chamber, representing 1/40th of the adult population of the country. UKIP represents 1/12 of the adult population and has 1/650 vote. How does that work again? Proportional representation would reverse the situation and give a much more balanced voting bias.
[21:34:22] <n1> all have the same answer
[21:34:15] <n1> everyone i spoke to on this topic, at least those over 40
[21:33:27] <n1> also proves FPTP works, and there is no other alternatives because PR is stupid for some reason.

[21:30:37] <n1> TLA, push back to a point
[21:30:24] <takyon> I wouldn't count on elections to solve your problems. Technical solutions are far better
[21:30:23] <TLA> here's how broken first past the post is: UKIP: 3.5 million votes, ONE seat. SNP (Scottish Nationalist Party): 1.5 million votes, FIFTY SIX SEATS.
[21:30:14] <LaDarius> I'm confident that things will become at least a little better before they get worse.
[21:30:13] <n1> voting for the old faithfuls are like a warm blanket
[21:30:04] <n1> that would be useless overnight
[21:30:01] <n1> we have decades of rhetoric to fall back on
[21:29:56] <LaDarius> n1, things have been shitty lately, but there is some pushback.
[21:29:50] <n1> what would we do?
[21:29:47] <n1> if there was a change between the "vote labour, vote tory"

[21:28:23] <TLA> I don't know what's worse, the fact that Cameron is kissing the arses of the entire Europrean Parliament in turn (as in he hasn't just fucked 'em all off yet), or the fact that somehow he got in on a minority AGAIN AFTER having YET AGAIN declared his undying loyalty to ISRAEL!

[10:04:09] <crutchy> what's the go with this meta thingy?
[10:03:58] <crutchy> wtf?
[10:02:36] <crutchy> to listening NSA stooge: Putin loves you!
[10:01:23] * crutchy gets the feeling that his recent involvement in IRC has probably landed his IP address on multiple US federal agency watch lists
[09:58:50] <crutchy> they prolly saw you and thought... 'that guy is definitely a law abiding californian'
[09:58:48] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, you are wrong. That was a 12-gauge shotgun.
[09:58:22] <crutchy> prolly cos you were walking around the streets naked while randomly firing an AR-15 in the air and puffing a joint
[09:58:01] <Ethanol-fueled> Amerika is Kafka status.
[09:57:41] <Ethanol-fueled> And the unlawful fishings.
[09:57:26] <crutchy> :D
[09:57:25] <Ethanol-fueled> yup :)
[09:57:19] <crutchy> and they missed you?
[09:57:09] <Ethanol-fueled> 16 law enforcement agencies went on a warrant sweep in my hometown.
[09:56:48] <JamesNZ> It did serve that purpose, yes :P
[09:56:32] <crutchy> i'm sure you got my drift :p
[09:56:23] <crutchy> everyone exaggerates to illustrate their point
[09:55:55] <JamesNZ> Exaggerate much? :)
[09:55:53] <crutchy> but its not like they torture anyone over there :p
[09:55:10] <crutchy> maybe once upon a time. now he would seem to want to send every man, woman and child who could hold a gun to the middle east
[09:54:57] * Ethanol-fueled clenches fist in anger
[09:54:25] <JamesNZ> Wasn't he against torture?
[09:53:47] <crutchy> "they tortured me guddammit! i'd rather they torture a bunch of young americans instead!"
[09:53:39] <Ethanol-fueled> America is insane. If you do not stop it, it will cause WWIII.
[09:53:06] <JamesNZ> :P
[09:52:55] <Ethanol-fueled> JamesNZ, the fucking idiot learned all the wrong lessons.
[09:52:48] <crutchy> and has forgotten every bit of it
[09:52:47] <JamesNZ> (and was tortured, no less)
[09:52:29] <JamesNZ> Ethanol-fueled: He already served his time in Vietnam.
[09:52:12] * JamesNZ whispers soothing words to Ethanol-fueled
[09:52:07] <Ethanol-fueled> March HIM in front of a tank in the Middle-East.
[09:51:40] <Ethanol-fueled> I fucking HATE McCain...Fifth-columnist scum.
[09:51:22] <Ethanol-fueled> GRRRRRR.
[09:51:01] <crutchy> he might think i'm some kind of "good extremist" and give me guns and money
[09:50:22] <crutchy> Ethanol-fueled, no way. i don't want john mccain to be proud of me
[09:50:17] <Ethanol-fueled> get 4 wives. Fire off high-powered assault rifles.
[09:50:00] <crutchy> lol
[09:49:59] <JamesNZ> People probably should be more pissed off at the British, at least 'murica had a civil war over slavery :P
[09:49:52] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, you sound angry. Join ISIS.
[09:49:30] <JamesNZ> crutchy: Ok, now you're just grasping at straws :P
[09:49:02] <crutchy> JamesNZ, maybe it averages out or something :p
[09:48:49] <JamesNZ> crutchy: Well... that's not a significant percentage of the worlds population.
[09:48:47] <crutchy> particularly when we have little knowledge of them
[09:48:46] <Ethanol-fueled> They are poor, after all.
[09:48:32] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, it's hard to feel sympathy for Yemenis.
[09:48:00] <crutchy> JamesNZ, prolly for you and me it is. for those who's family members have been droned into oblivion as 'collateral damage' it might be pretty accurate
[09:47:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck Feinstein, fuck Boxer,
[09:47:00] <JamesNZ> crutchy: I think "hate" is a bit strong.
[09:46:39] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck the Anti-American fifth-columnists.
[09:46:39] <JamesNZ> 'MURICA.
[09:46:35] <crutchy> i'd has at a guess that more than 50% of the world's population hates the US military
[09:46:02] <SirFinkus> careful Ethanol-fueled, that doesn't sound very patriotic of you
[09:45:41] <crutchy> a lot of people are disgusted with your country. well, not all of it. just the military mostly
[09:44:37] <Ethanol-fueled> grrrrrugh. I'm disgusted with my country.
[09:44:19] <crutchy> heh. the caption says 'all crew survived'
[09:44:09] <crutchy> http://upload.wikimedia.org
[09:42:12] <crutchy> (albeit a rather large home-made bomb, but home-made nonetheless)
[09:42:07] <Ethanol-fueled> The people in charge of the U.S. Military are insane, as are the folks fighting for it.
[09:41:13] <Ethanol-fueled> Traumatic Brain Injuries.
[09:41:10] <crutchy> the US military has the biggest budget of any military in the world and has the best toys, but unfortunately it creates a false sense of security; proven time and time again when all it takes is a home-made bomb to destroy a multi-million dollar MRAP
[09:40:26] <Ethanol-fueled> Missing Limbs.
[09:39:28] <Ethanol-fueled> And thanks to modern life-prolonging technology, you too can see your grieviously-wounded friend last horrifically longer.
[09:36:23] <crutchy> if only more people could see that before they volunteer
[09:36:19] <Ethanol-fueled> Seeing your other friends turned into hamburger.
[09:35:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Seeing your best friend shot in the head and the nerves of his body twitching him.
[09:35:45] <crutchy> unfortunately if they watch rambo they think the enemy is stupid, it will get them killed
[09:35:35] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, those are phoney-toughs. Nobody WANTS to be shot at in a battlefield and be fucked in the head for life.
[09:35:03] <crutchy> hehe i guess there could be a lot of yanks that would jump at the chance to go shoot some ragheads
[09:34:27] <crutchy> (navy/usaf)
[09:34:17] <crutchy> prolly yeah they do have some neat toys
[09:34:16] <Ethanol-fueled> but when you're in the Army and Marines, you get to play with weapons.
[09:33:54] <Ethanol-fueled> crutchy, being in the Army and Marines is the danger. Being in the Navy and Air force is some wicked-cool tech training.
[09:33:21] <crutchy> being in the US military is *the* danger
[09:32:21] <crutchy> that's fine till they coax you over there. then when you can't turn back... 'oh sorry last minute change of plan...' and they give you a gun and put you in a humvee
[09:31:14] <Ethanol-fueled> I volunteered, crutchy. With the understanding that I would not be placed in any danger.
[09:30:31] <crutchy> i don't get why people keep volunteering. what do they think they're fighting for?
[09:30:17] <Ethanol-fueled> fucking cowards.
[09:30:11] <Ethanol-fueled> we need to start marching congress off to war.
[09:29:58] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, fuck that.
[09:29:45] <crutchy> poor bastard
[09:29:42] <Ethanol-fueled> ied
[09:29:37] <Ethanol-fueled> yup.
[09:29:34] <Ethanol-fueled> I wrestled with him.
[09:29:33] <crutchy> ied?
[09:29:27] <Ethanol-fueled> a fat scar across his leg.
[09:29:19] <Ethanol-fueled> a childhood buddy of mine was wounded in iraq.
[09:29:09] <crutchy> seeing bits and pieces of what goes on in afghanistan in particular reminds me of that scene from enemy at the gates where the soviet soldiers were stuck in an impossible battlefield where if they advanced they were shot and if they retreated they were shot
[09:28:09] <Ethanol-fueled> Bodies fill the fields I see, the slaughter never ends!

[01:40:17] <cmn32480> oh geez...
[01:40:10] <Bytram> had a coworker, many years ago, who programmed a chain printer to hit certain letters as they came across the page... exactly as they were in order on the chain... 132 hammers going bang at once, then linefeed, then bang... sounded like a machine gun going off... damn near scared the operator to death!
[01:40:07] <mrcoolbp> Is the site down?
[01:39:37] <cmn32480> Wow... NCommander got StarFellet to carry extra warp cores... he IS good!
[01:39:16] <cmn32480> bytram - line printers did it. We had one in a previous life that walked until I choked the wheels.
[01:39:09] <NCommander> Ok, got that fixed
[01:38:53] <Leebert> cmn32480: Yeah. Sad things is that it seems that no one ever read my card I dropped in the Starfleet suggestion box that all starships should carry a spare warp core.
[01:38:53] <SirFinkus> don't remember where I read that, it was one of those old dot matrix printer that could eat a finger if you poked it wrong

[01:38:01] <cmn32480> Leebert / SirFinkus - when it all goes catywompus, we all know you'll have to eject the4 core to stop the subspace tear. Best to not tempt fate.
[01:37:55] <SirFinkus> I've heard that about printers Bytram

[01:37:31] <Leebert> There's always the unspecified dramatic risk that we could all die after we return from the commercial break.
[01:37:16] <SirFinkus> you forget the temporal disruption
[01:36:50] <Leebert> SirFinkus: That's the beauty of it. Since it's a SUBSPACE harmonic, the quantum gauss flux will have no mass.
[01:36:44] <SirFinkus> you need the sympathetic inertial dampeners for your idea to work
[01:36:03] <Leebert> SirFinkus: Perhaps apocryphal, but I was told once from one of the old crusty supercomputer admin types about a Days of Yore startup of a room full of disk packs that caused the concrete floor to crack from their angular velocity.
[01:35:54] <SirFinkus> the flux will dampen the resonation
[01:35:45] <Bytram> SirFinkus: I don't know about a server rack, but I've known one of the old RK05 disk drives whose casters were not set to wander across a raised floor and stop only because it was held back by the power cord!
[01:35:25] <SirFinkus> you aren't factoring in quantum gauss flux leebert
[01:34:58] <Leebert> We might be able to work around it if we try go repolarize them by setting up a subspace field harmonic in the EPS network. In theory, it should cause a it to resonate, which would let us route the plasma through the main deflector dish, causing repolarization.
