[01:52:19] <Andronas> what do you mean by subbing them?
[01:52:36] <cmn32480> first line at the top of the page explains
[01:52:43] <Bytram> wouldn't it be nice if... the submission bot would check the Storybot page, and if it finds a matching URL, submits the Arthur version instead of a one-line title & URL.
[01:52:55] <cmn32480> TO SUBMIT ONE OF THESE STORIES, TYPE "~arthur #" IN SOYLENTNEWS IRC, WHERE # IS THE ID FROM THE LIST BELOW.
[01:53:06] <Andronas> yes i know submit. does that mean i need to write a summary or something?
[01:53:09] <cmn32480> bytram - talk to crutchy. his bot. I'm jsut the op
[01:53:39] <cmn32480> using ~arthur adn the ID on the storybot page subs the entrie text of the article to the queue
[01:53:44] <Bytram> yeah, was just dreaming is all. haven't really seen crin a long while -- must be on different schedules.. besides different sides of the planet
[01:54:07] <Andronas> oh okay

[02:02:02] <cmn32480> the storybot list updates every hour, based on the RSS logs.
[02:02:19] <Andronas> okay :)
[02:02:42] <Andronas> i am really new to the system honestly. all i've ever done is read. i only recently started commenting and moderating other comments.
[02:02:47] <cmn32480> and everythgin in there is a max of 3 days old
[02:02:56] <cmn32480> good!
[02:03:01] <cmn32480> we are glad to have you
[02:03:24] <Andronas> cool :) thanks
[02:03:48] <cmn32480> hopefully it wasn't one of my screw ups that prompted your first comment
[02:04:30] <Andronas> lol im not sure. i think i just felt like replying to something small and put a small comment in myself. it might have been the fervor of some of the recent political stuff that made me start commenting lol
[02:04:53] <cmn32480> :-)
[02:07:43] <Deucalion> At least the trend for every single forum discussion anywhere on the interwebulator sliding into a Trump v Clinton fest - no matter how tenuously engineered - seems to be subsiding. Seriously, a few months back I reckon a discussion about the best product to kill moss would have been slid into that somehow within the first page :D
[02:08:21] <Andronas> lol yes!
[02:08:59] <Andronas> it would go product to kill moss -> environmentalism -> republicans are killing the climate
[02:09:21] <Andronas> -> trump v clinton
[02:09:34] <Andronas> perhaps within one comment
[02:09:51] <Deucalion> followed by some rant about how it's all Obama's fault.... no matter the topic :)
[02:09:56] <Andronas> right
[02:10:20] <cmn32480> it was Bush's Fault
[02:10:20] <Andronas> something i've noticed is that there are a lot of really conservative-minded people in engineering/tech
[02:10:34] <Andronas> i've read lots of comments on slashdot and soylentnews
[02:10:43] <Andronas> they often seem to have a conservative bias
[02:13:16] <Bytram> Andronas: maybe, or maybe the conservatives tend to be more vocal?
[02:13:47] <Bytram> iow, more resistant to change and thus more prone to speak up when the "old guard" is challenged?
[02:14:01] <Andronas> Bytram: that's something i was thinking as well
[02:14:34] <Andronas> i knew a very conservative man as a teenager. even in terms of volume by itself, he was easily always the most vocal person in the room
[02:14:46] <Bytram> whereas the more liberal-minded would be well, that's interesting... let's see what happens... they have a right to speak their minds and it just *might* be better
[02:15:17] <Bytram> to boil it down to a single word: fear
[02:15:30] <Bytram> fear of losing what they already have, or fear of not getting what they really really want
[02:15:53] <Bytram> when you ain't got nothing, it's harder to be afraid of losing it, yanno?
[02:16:05] <Andronas> yeah there was a study that was done that showed a biological difference in the brains of liberals and conservatives. in liberals, a certain part of the prefontal cortex was larger (anterior cingulate????), and in conservatives, half of the amygdala was larger
[02:16:11] <Bytram> or, from here, the only way for things to go is UP!
[02:16:38] <Andronas> and for those who don't know, amygdala is partly responsible for dealing with fear
[02:17:12] <Bytram> TIL
[02:17:44] <Andronas> :)
[02:17:47] <Bytram> I was not aware of that, but it certainly makes sense, but also makes me wonder... which came first
[02:17:53] <Deucalion> The only thing to fear is fear itself.... it limits ability. Usually things can be put back how they were if a change doesn't work out :)
[02:18:05] <Andronas> yeah scientists are speculating on whether or not some amount of political leaning is inherited
[02:18:21] <Bytram> do people with a larger amygdala become conservative, or do conservatives grow larger amygdalas?
[02:18:32] <Andronas> yeah that seems to be impossible to prove :/
[02:18:43] <Deucalion> interesting question given the plasticity of the brain
[02:18:46] <Bytram> Deucalion: except for the proverbial shooting oneself in the foot
[02:18:48] <Andronas> i myself feel like i've been on both sides of the fence at different points in my life
[02:18:58] <Andronas> so i don't really feel determined per se
[02:19:36] <Bytram> I'm less idealistic, now, but otoh, I am even more of a supporter of the underdog / havenots as I've experienced both sides
[02:20:12] <Andronas> i have always been a supporter of the havenots because i always have been a have not. i think a reason why so many haves don't support have nots is that they genuinely can't understand what it's like to live as one of them.
[02:20:33] <Deucalion> Bytram, if one does not care about the giggling of others... the shooting yourself in the foot experience is just another learning experience. And why would one care about the giggling masses..... caring about that would again be another manifestation of fear.. :)
[02:20:49] <Andronas> there was some magazine article i read years ago that said that poor people actually donate a higher percentage of their income to charity than the rich do. and it's because poor people know what it's like to be poor.
[02:20:59] <Bytram> well, that would be easy to fix, wouldn't it? Much like mandatory draft, have mandatory lving in a bootcamp for a month.
[02:21:14] <Andronas> and the rich, the article said, aren't callous really. they just don't see it so they can't understand it.
[02:21:27] <Andronas> yeah. some kind of mandatory public service.
[02:21:37] <Deucalion> too far removed for empathy to kick in
[02:21:41] <Andronas> exactly
[02:21:48] <Bytram> Deucalion: in the process of shooting at the foot, there is a very decided risk of part of it becoming gone... forever, giggling or no giggling, it's a problem.
[02:22:11] <Deucalion> not if you backup the foot first :D
[02:22:28] <Deucalion> Oh wait.... life isn;t all on a computer you say?
[02:22:34] <Andronas> instead of military bootcamp, i think sending them to help people in the inner cities would be better. or in impoverished rural areas. and while working there, they'd live there too.
[02:22:53] <takyon> I wonder how much of the poor people donations are church tithes, and how beneficial those really are
[02:23:28] <Andronas> takyon: you could talk about that, but i think that's beside the point i was trying to make
[02:23:37] <Bytram> fixed rations, distance to traverse in a fixed amount of time, cannot graduate until you complete it, or get a permamnent ding on your record like a "Dishonorable Discharge"
[02:23:45] <takyon> it's not like I've been reading all this. just came in her
[02:23:48] <takyon> ...e
[02:24:01] <Bytram> only exception would be more biological issueslike missing a leg or some such.
[02:24:12] <Andronas> yeah that would make sense
[02:24:37] <Andronas> helping out at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter would be great. or shadowing a nurse and helping out with medical needs at a health department
[02:25:09] * Bytram used to give 10% of his gross income to charity... 5% to his church (which had a lot of outreach programs, too), and 5% to other causes
[02:25:35] <Bytram> break time; biab
[02:26:11] <Andronas> that might help well-off people understand the need to have poorer people on health insurance policies, and that they can't really afford it themselves
[02:30:48] <Deucalion> our maybe the realise the societal benefit of blanket socialised medical care without the profiteering - but I imagine that's asking a little much for the US :D
[02:31:43] <cmn32480> no profiteering????? That is flat out unacceptable
[02:31:55] <Andronas> we're all pirates right? may the best man win!
[02:32:00] <Deucalion> the market will provide ;)
[02:32:06] <Andronas> and if all the ships go down, that's okay too!
[02:32:11] <Andronas> haha
[02:34:00] <Deucalion> heh - play the markets right and you can make money even when all the ships are busy sinking - that seems a sane way to arrange a market economy
[02:34:31] <Andronas> by sane, do you mean catastrophically insane?
[02:34:55] <Andronas> free marketers never have understood that to preserve freedom, one must limit it.
[02:34:57] <Deucalion> possibly........
[02:36:15] <Deucalion> how does one limit freedom and still call it freedom?
[02:36:34] <Andronas> moderately.
[02:36:46] <chromas> It's all-new Diet Freedom!
[02:37:07] <Andronas> basically in the statement: my rights end where your rights begin, and vice versa
[02:37:10] <Deucalion> moderately limited freedom... I see... who gets to set the limits?
[02:37:24] <Andronas> Deucalion: now that's the problem
[02:37:33] <Andronas> who speaks, who represents
[02:37:42] <Bytram> who's on first!
[02:37:55] <Andronas> no, who's on second
[02:38:11] <Bytram> no, what's the name of the guy on second!
[02:38:38] <Andronas> i don't have it memorized. i apologize for my failure.
[02:38:47] * Deucalion goes on last and leaves a lasting impact
[02:38:48] <Bytram> no problem!
[02:39:01] <Andronas> Deucalion: meteoric?

[10:17:02] <NotSanguine> I guess that depends on what you're switching I guess.
[10:17:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, it'd require dns changes
[10:18:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> which propogate very, very slowly

[10:19:12] <NotSanguine> or rather their DNS servers
[10:19:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> a lot of isps and other such do caching of way longer than the records specify

[22:24:40] <charon_> what's up Bytram?
[22:25:13] <Bytram> up is the direction that I have not yet ever been able to manage to fall
[22:25:17] <Bytram> ;)
[22:25:27] <Bytram> otoh, what is coming down is snow
[22:26:18] <charon_> yep, snow everywhere around me too
[22:27:06] <charon_> though it seems to have turned to rain in the last few minutes. so the drive home will be even worse
[22:27:26] <Bytram> as well as the clearing of snow off the car. :(
[22:27:37] * charon_ cries
[22:27:56] <Bytram> sorry!
[22:27:57] <Bytram> http://images.intellicast.com
[22:28:32] <Bytram> look at it this way, if the rain keeps up, there will be that much less snow to shovel! =)
[22:28:38] <charon_> man, i am seriously not earning my keep today though. i have had exactly 0 customers today. just a couple people asking if i had snowblower parts for sale (which i don't)
[22:29:45] <Bytram> it was mgmt's decision stay open... you'd have gone home it they told you to,right?
[22:30:28] <charon_> in a heartbeat
[22:30:39] <Bytram> so their choice, their consequences
[22:30:44] <charon_> yep
[22:30:48] <Bytram> your paycheck. =)
[22:31:31] <Bytram> looks like the storm took a path a little further inland than originally forecast... looks like I am now in for some rain later this evening, too.
[22:31:42] <charon_> i have heard that the reason we stay open even in terrible weather is that we are somehow federally mandated as a disaster area supply source
[22:32:18] <Bytram> interesting.
[22:32:49] <Bytram> does that mean they get some kind of additional payment from the gov't for being open even when there are no customers? must be a pretty good guaranteed payment!
[22:33:16] <Bytram> otherwise, the cost would not be worth the designation, and I'd drop it in a heartbeat
[22:33:36] <Bytram> well, maybe two heartbeats. ;)
[22:35:42] <Bytram> oops, "break" time... biab
[22:40:28] <charon_> wouldn't you know it, just then someone came in for the third time all day
[22:41:25] <Bytram> how 'about that! I bet they are sure glad you were open!
[22:41:37] <charon_> and i'm not sure if what i heard is accurate or if we get a payment from the gov't for it. just people speculating. but some other stores close for extreme weather, but mine does not
[22:42:19] <Bytram> might not hurt to ask the boss sometime... find out for sure?
[22:42:28] <charon_> heh, this guy wanted me to drill holes in a piece of pipe for him. not really what i'm here for
[22:42:43] <Bytram> Drill baby drill!
[22:42:45] <Bytram> =)
[22:43:14] <charon_> but since i have the tools, i'm fine with doing stuff as long as it's not "build this IKEA furniture for me"
[22:43:41] <Bytram> right, immediately followed by: could you please help me put it in the back seat of my car?
[22:43:43] <Bytram> ;)
[22:43:55] <charon_> yep

[22:46:02] <Bytram> yeah, was scheduled for Sun(?) and rescheduled for today, and had to reschedule again... I think... /me is getting tired
[22:46:37] <charon_> is your leg still getting better? or at least no worse?
[22:47:12] <Bytram> why thanks for asking! Yes, it seems to have gotten better... still can't stand for long periods, but seem to be on the mend
[22:47:23] <Bytram> am on vacation this week, so a chance to rest up
[22:48:31] <charon_> ah, vacation. it is so nice to not have to worry about working
[22:52:27] <Bytram> true that, but the weather conditions tend to preclude sun bathing
[22:52:32] <Bytram> ;)

[22:58:02] <charon_> maybe it doesn't like my browser. it seems to be stuck at crunching numbers
[22:58:25] <Bytram> it loads up a couple JS libraries
[22:58:30] <Bytram> one set on its own site
[22:58:44] <Bytram> also from jquery
[22:59:06] <Bytram> took a while for things to start happening for me, too
[22:59:34] <Bytram> zoom way in and can see things slowly moving in their orbits
[23:00:13] <Bytram> click on "Groups" near the upper left hand corner, and you can scoll down and see different constellations lit up
[23:02:41] <charon_> there, it works in chrome. doesn't like my version of FF
[23:06:36] <paulej72> I just finished watching Arrival

[23:13:29] <paulej72> It is out on DVD was in theaters last fall
[23:13:31] <charon_> yes, arrival was very good
[23:13:56] <Bytram> looks like I need to restart PM; has only been running for 9 days!
[23:16:50] <charon_> hm, i shut my computer down when i go to bed
[23:19:18] <Bytram> I just suspend mine... much easier when I wake it back up and all my programs are already loaded and in the "right place"

[23:21:59] <charon_> not sure if i'm pleased or annoyed that the stuff in space site will not let me flip the orientation of the globe. if i want australia to be in the north hemisphere, by god i will put it there
[23:23:01] <Bytram> click on the page, and drag it around
[23:23:40] <Bytram> that, or turn your monitor upside down
[23:25:54] <charon_> dragging only lets you move it 90 degrees, i can't flip it upside down
[23:26:10] <Bytram> bummer!
[23:26:15] <charon_> i know
[23:26:42] <charon_> the south (-ern hemisphere) will rise again
[23:27:01] <Bytram> if you hover over the labels in the upper right hand corner, there's some info about the author -- i think it said he's entering college? write to him and ask?
[23:27:11] <Bytram> I'm sure he'd be flattered.
[23:27:29] <Bytram> mention that you heard about the site from a friendwho saw a refrence to it in a comment on Ars Technica
[23:27:39] <charon_> it's probably so that people can't accidentally do it and not recognize what north america looks like upside down
[23:28:18] <Bytram> sadly, I fear that is true

[23:29:03] <Bytram> or, an undocumented arg? &invert=1
[23:30:48] <charon_> weird that there's this one common orbit with dozens of satellites in it. it passes over korea
