[00:00:31] <Bytram> yep, but when rummaging around for pearls among pigs feet... it can get very... "aromatic"
[00:00:45] <Virindi> I have it at 0 but I often click on the "hidden comment" expand button
[00:00:51] <Bytram> come up for air every once in a while to maintaion perspective.
[00:00:55] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:01:50] <Bytram> yep, I see it: threshold=0 br4eakthrough: 0 and Threaded-TOS
[00:01:56] <Virindi> and offtopic rants can be fun :)
[00:02:37] <Bytram> though I can understand how some may find it so, I cannot say it does much for me.
[00:02:57] <Bytram> especially when it slips into ad hominem rants
[00:04:17] <Virindi> I just enjoy arguments and arguing, most of what I see that fits into your category seems to be people who have a dislike of some particular group who probably wronged them at some time in their life?
[00:04:26] <Virindi> can be fun to read
[00:04:28] <clorox|2> No you don't
[00:05:15] <Virindi> I see what you did there.
[00:05:29] <Virindi> have to try harder than that!
[00:05:41] <clorox|2> You say that, but I don't believe you.
[00:05:43] <Bytram> I will confess appreciating a finely grafted zinger (ala Winston Churchill, et al), but for the most part, when I see ad hominems, I would rrather they say nothing at all....
[00:05:58] * clorox|2 prepares for the "literally Hitler" 'argument'
[00:06:01] <Bytram> I've put in WAY too many hours on this site to see it strewn with 'graffiti'
[00:06:27] <Virindi> when I see someone on the internet who is wrong, I think, yes! this is my opportunity to correct their misconception!
[00:06:31] <Virindi> that always works out.
[00:06:39] <Bytram> I would very much prefer reasoned discourse, explanations from subject-matter-experts, and the like.

[00:10:19] <Virindi> 61 is fall weather
[00:11:00] <Bytram> that would be a record high summer temp at the south pole
[00:11:36] <Bytram> and a horrific cold snap, even in the midst of winter, in the tropics
[00:11:39] <Bytram> =)
[00:12:04] <Bytram> is all a matter of perspective... what do I focus on, and even more importantly, what do I *expect*?
[00:12:16] <Bytram> "An expectation is a pre-arranged resentment."
[00:12:50] <Bytram> and, with that, I really need to call it a night... I am barely able to stay awake atm.
[00:12:56] <cmn32480> mmmmmm Whataburger

[01:53:35] <cmn32480> I dont' get them up where I live... so it is a treat when I come to Texas
[01:53:44] <cmn32480> I was too tired to go out and get real food
[01:57:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, whataburger is real food.
[01:57:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> real burger-shaped food even
[01:58:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> personally, i think sonic has better burgers but i do miss me a whataburger now and then.
[02:00:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> sonic: #3, no mayo, add jalapenos
[02:00:52] <Booga1> Heh. When they opened a Sonic in this area, they had people lined up for three hours in a lot next to it. That lasted for weeks...
[02:01:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> they do the roller skates there or just walk?
[02:01:44] <Booga1> Drive up. The people were seriously just in the empty lot waiting for their spot at the Sonic.
[02:02:13] <Booga1> Maybe the orders were placed ahead of time, but I'm not gonna wait three hours for any food, much less Sonic. :P
[02:02:30] <Booga1> Rows and rows of cars.
[02:02:30] <cmn32480> I also like In-N-Out
[02:02:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i mean the car-hops. some places everyone's on skates, some they just walk. our local one only has one chick who'll put on skates, so i make sure and tip her good.
[02:03:02] <Booga1> Heh, no, the empty lot was all grass and dirt. I can't imagine they'd use the skates to manage the lines. :)
[02:03:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that'd be perilous.
[02:04:09] <Booga1> I like IN-N-Out burgers and fries more than Sonic or Whataburger, but Sonic has the best drink menu, no contest.
[02:04:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, super sonic breakfast burritos are da shit.
[02:04:31] <cmn32480> sonic's DOES have the best drink menu
[02:04:33] <Booga1> I haven't had their breakfast burritos.
[02:05:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i cannot do them justice comparing them to other places' breakfast offerings. they're too far above.
[02:06:09] <Booga1> Well, next time I'm in the area with one, I'll give it a shot. There's one just up the road from a friend's place.
[02:07:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're not a jalapeno fan, well there's just no help for you but they will leave them off if asked.
[02:07:32] <cmn32480> who isn't a jalepeno fan?
[02:07:46] <cmn32480> isn't that like not likeing bacon?
[02:08:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably NCommander. he's just too young to know what's good.
[02:08:37] <Booga1> I've been beyond help for a long time.
[02:08:43] <cmn32480> he eats like a mostly normal kids...
[02:08:53] <cmn32480> he's a bit inexperienced... but...
[02:09:07] * TheMightyBuzzard is still attempting to smake the roomie's boy into eating stuffed jalapenos
[02:09:28] <Booga1> STuffed is good, I just don't care for them on most foods.
[02:09:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> ?!
[02:09:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't like them on ice cream but that's about it.
[02:10:15] <cmn32480> put bacon on the icecream
[02:10:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> i put bacon on the stuffed peppers. still don't help. not just wrapped around them either. crumbly bacon in the filling.

[02:11:05] <upstart> ^ 03Jalapeno Ice Cream from The Jalapeno Cafe
[02:11:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> and wrapped around them.
[02:11:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> now, jalapenos and ice cream do go good together. just not in the same bowl.
[02:11:58] <Booga1> heh
[02:12:31] <cmn32480> windows requires 215 updates when installing from SP1
[02:12:35] <cmn32480> lol
[02:12:43] <Booga1> That's just to start!
[02:13:01] <Booga1> Or is it the number of reboots?
[02:13:39] <cmn32480> that is the number of updates on a laptop that I am building from ground zero on Windows 7
[02:13:46] <Booga1> At least it's not like XP where you could get a virus faster than you could get your updates installed.

[21:21:41] <Virindi> what if he uses tor though, what would you do, ban all tor users?
[21:22:54] <Virindi> maybe AC on a known exit node/proxy should start at -1
[21:23:47] <Virindi> the problems of anonymity :(
[21:25:26] <Virindi> also wait a sec, if spam mod hurts the ip does it also hurt anyone logged in to the same IP? so if a logged in user and a spammer share the same exit node, the logged in user gets screwed over?
[21:26:44] <Virindi> honestly I think if it were my site I would require tor/proxy users to login, it's not like you have to provide any real info to do so and you could just create a bunch of accounts if you don't want your comments associated

[22:02:41] <FatPhil> I fully support the idea of making the site more warming to the logged-in, and colder to the totally-unknown
[22:04:33] <FatPhil> smarter spam detection (like the lameness filter) might be useful.
[22:19:29] <chromas> set up bogofilter/spamassassin to -1 bad posts
[22:28:43] <FatPhil> it would need to be trained before it worked well
[22:29:15] <chromas> We've got no shortage of data for it
[22:30:00] <FatPhil> I like the idea of teasing the spammer with "your post is too similar to one already posted", but make it harder and harder to satisfy, so if he changes a couple of words at a time, he'll continue for ever, and eventually be forced to give up.
[22:30:27] <chromas> I like that
[22:30:42] <FatPhil> if he has to try 10 times to get one post, eventually he'll consider it not worth the effort.
[22:30:47] * chromas likes this 👍
[22:31:12] <FatPhil> or be the saddest fuck of a human being I've ever encountered
[22:41:37] <Sulla> I think we would lose a lot of good people if it was harder to be an AC
[22:42:46] <Sulla> Glad at least someone else thought that post in "women in stem" was spam. I was debating whether or not to mod it spam or something else
[22:43:43] <Virindi> yeah as soon as I saw the new story show up I clicked really fast to try to spam that guy, now that I found out the rule about other negative mods giving you immunity to spam mod
[22:45:03] <Sulla> Interesting, good to know
[22:45:57] <Sulla> Was kind of annoyed because I was at work and it kind of made it nsfw. I didn't care but have a lot of real touchy coworkers
[22:48:10] <chromas> Maybe there could be a -2 score that only a Spam mod can activate
[23:12:46] <FatPhil> I like the idea of encouraging people towards within-story-connectable pseudonymous-coward-#NNN posting identifiers, rather than A/C
[23:14:23] <FatPhil> it's as anonymous as [x] Post Anonymously, apart from all such posts within a story being linkable.
[23:15:08] <FatPhil> it avoids the need for "original A/C here, ..." intros
[23:15:49] <Virindi> doesn't help the spam issue though
[23:18:36] <FatPhil> anything that encourages not posting AC helps things that attempt to address some A/Cs behaviour have less risk of colateral damage.
[23:20:25] <Virindi> okay but as a policy I think people still want AC to be viable
[23:20:47] <FatPhil> absolutely
[23:21:21] <FatPhil> if we're going to have to police it, it needs to be easier to police.
