[10:16:26] <boru> Hmm. Drake equation revisited?
[10:16:51] <boru> Ah, mentioned in the article.
[10:32:32] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[10:32:32] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[10:33:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, have some of that still. bout half a pound of anhydrous caffeine. rarely use it though.
[11:30:20] <weeds> Drake, bla - The Weeds Equation!
[11:39:18] <boru> Heh, yeah, I'm just finding caffeine to be ineffective at the moment. That point of sleep deprivation.
[11:44:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> amphetamines++
[11:44:12] <Bender> karma - amphetamines: 9
[11:45:41] <boru> Heh, that scene from Airplane comes to mind.
[11:45:51] <boru> "Damn, I picked a bad week to give up ..."
[11:46:03] <boru> First it's cigarettes, then coffee, then amphetamines.
[11:56:19] <weeds> goes on to sniffing glue I think....
[12:02:20] <boru> I don't recall that; I haven't watched it in bloody ages. I may have to do so this evening, now.

[12:04:11] <cmn32480> and can't understand how I don't ahve a passport?
[12:04:21] <cmn32480> coffee++
[12:04:21] <Bender> karma - coffee: 2735
[12:06:35] <boru> Perhaps that's why they selected you. It's probably some sort of cartel deal.
[12:07:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday cmn32480
[12:07:48] * exec provocatively poops a quart of stock options for cmn32480

[14:34:33] <Runaway1956> #submit https://www.sciencedaily.com
[14:34:33] <MrPlow> Unable to find a title for that page
[14:35:18] <boru> FWIW, SD typically gives the link to the original content at the bottom of their articles.
[14:35:36] <boru> Well, most articles, which I've grumped at them for years for...
[14:35:41] <Runaway1956> I'm scrolling downward boru
[14:36:14] <Runaway1956> Thank you :^)
[14:36:46] <boru> No bother. They're one of the better news sites, in that respect.
[14:37:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're a pretty lousy one if they want their content linked to though.
[14:37:15] <boru> And fairly forthcoming with requests and suggestions, for that matter.
[14:37:17] <boru> Heh.
[14:37:47] <boru> If they knew you were driving readers to their site, I'm sure they'd accommodate your request to make more parser friendly content.
[14:37:56] <boru> Though perhaps others were abusing that...
[14:38:09] <boru> i.e. not bothering with their own editorial and just scraping their site.
[14:38:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> doubt it. they went to a lot of trouble to make it scraper unfriendly
[14:38:41] <Runaway1956> Heh - Liverpool doesn't have that paper on their website, if I'm to believe the results
[14:40:12] <boru> They link to the journal that it's published in: https://news.liverpool.ac.uk
[14:40:14] <Addyi> ^ 03Corneal Transplants - Men and Women Don’t See Eye to Eye - University of Liverpool News - University of Liverpool
[14:40:26] <boru> Which, surprisingly, isn't a paywall.
[14:41:12] <Runaway1956> Cool - you know your way around the backsteets and alleys, LOL
[14:41:47] <Runaway1956> Well, I guess I'll submit it now . . .
[14:41:56] <Runaway1956> #submit https://news.liverpool.ac.uk
[14:41:58] <MrPlow> Unable to find a summary for that page
[14:42:08] <Runaway1956> LOL - I'll have to do it the hard way.
[14:42:26] <Runaway1956> This is a pretty cool story, after the other story about potential blood incompatibilities
[14:42:42] <Runaway1956> Can't help wondering if there's soemthing to it, or it's just bullshit
[14:44:02] <boru> Indeed.
[14:45:26] <boru> I do wish that SD didn't web-two-point-oh the shite out of their site, though.
[14:45:54] <boru> I find it's far less easy to read, now.
[14:46:14] <boru> All of the NASA sites have gone down the same route. Reading the NuSTAR site is just pure pain.
[14:46:27] <boru> Doesn't even work with links(1)!
[14:46:39] <Runaway1956> I think we need a couple more categories for story submissions - like, medical advances and anthropology
[14:47:07] <boru> I'd really like a politics/socio-political one.
[14:47:11] <boru> And then a filter.
[14:47:26] <Runaway1956> Now, THAT makes some sense -
[14:47:37] <Runaway1956> Especially in an election year
[14:47:42] <boru> Dead on.
[14:48:16] * Runaway1956 needs moar FOOOOD~
[14:48:25] * boru needs more sleep.
[14:49:59] <Runaway1956> Cranky old woman caught me prowling through the pantry. "There are cookies on the counter, eat those!"
[14:50:08] * boru chuckles.
[14:50:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> damn the bad luck, having to eat cookies
[14:50:25] * Runaway1956 was thinking of something more substantial
[14:50:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> beer n cookies then
[14:50:57] <Runaway1956> catfish n beer maybe
[14:51:06] <boru> Steak and beer.
[14:51:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i cannot argue with catfish
[14:51:27] <boru> Actually, I'd murder surf'n'turf right at this moment.
[14:51:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> but now i want cookies
[14:51:36] <Runaway1956> Of course you can argue with catfish - if the catfish resists leaping into your boat
[14:51:50] <boru> Not if you fish with hand grenades.
[14:52:25] * Runaway1956 has never held a live grenade
[14:52:42] <Runaway1956> novelty lighters, and trainers - no real ones
[14:53:02] <boru> Well, it's hazardous to your health to do so for long periods of time.
[14:53:22] <Runaway1956> Like, more than about fifteen seconds?
[14:53:28] <boru> There are easier ways to introduce more iron into your diet.

[15:11:28] <Runaway1956> New British foreign secretary called Clinton 'sadistic nurse'
[15:11:58] * boru hears the distant rattle of pots and kettles.
[15:12:26] <Runaway1956> Run, before she comes in and throws them at you
[15:13:56] <boru> Oh, I'm way ahead of you. Moving back to the EU as soon as is possible.
[15:14:47] <Runaway1956> You're not afraid of being raped by goatherders from Syria?
[15:16:56] <Runaway1956> G'night all
[15:21:50] <boru> I'm more concerned by foreign political agendas than people from other countries.
[15:22:05] <boru> I see NATO and Israel as more of a threat, personally.
[15:23:12] <boru> Anyway, politics sends me off to sleep. I'll be quite content to live up in the Alps, away from civilisation.
[15:27:44] <chromas> I thought it was already about monkey lives
