[00:06:02] <Sulla> Other than soylent, what other sites are still around from the exodus?

[00:08:29] <fliptop> pipedot seems to still be up, but not very active (last posted story was from march)
[00:20:14] <Bytram> sad to hear that.
[00:21:21] <Bytram> If I had a bit more spare time, I'm tempted to write up an article on watches and what the different degrees of water resistance mean (btw, no such thing as a waterproof watch.)
[00:23:21] * chromas invents the waterproof watch
[00:23:48] * Bytram drops it to the bottom of the Marianas Trench and watches it get crushed.
[00:24:24] <chromas> I put everything it needs inside the case, and there's no buttons or cracks
[00:24:26] <Bytram> HIghest rated watch I ever saw was 300 meters, and do be aware that is *static* pressure. Put it at 299 meters, and move it sideways and... crumple.
[00:24:30] <chromas> The case is a spherical cow.
[00:24:41] <Bytram> A mooving story, I'm sure!
[00:37:32] <Sulla> I was going to comment on your watch autism, but I have considered writing an article on model training.

[04:32:18] <Virindi> heh people thought I was trolling, funny
[04:32:58] <Virindi> sucks when you state your actual opinion and people rate it troll
[04:41:51] <Booga1> Depends on the moderator. Maybe the mod was "too close to the truth."
[04:44:19] <Sulla> Link?
[04:56:50] <Virindi> more likely I didn't state my position well enough

[04:58:58] <Virindi> I seem to have triggered a modding war where half the people are upmodding and the other half are downmodding the comment
[05:01:31] <mechanicjay> it happens -- best not to get too caught up in it. I've also had a similar situation, where some asshat downmods you -- generally it all evens out in the end.
[05:06:50] <Sulla> Your post seems pretty on point
[05:07:18] <Sulla> Best friend and wife work in pharmacy, the pharms don't care if the feds are not planning to crack down.
[05:07:54] <Virindi> that was pretty much what I was saying yeah
[05:09:05] <Sulla> Best friend is constantly complaining about lazy pharmacists not calling up about significant errors. While it is possible cvs wants to do better, I find it unlikely its more than being afraid of new regs or gettin the screw put to them
[05:13:24] <Virindi> yeah superbigco doesn't fund "programs" and change policies out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it because they are afraid of government action, or because they think it is good PR, or both...or if it saves them money

[06:31:52] <Booga1> Around here there are cities suing the manufacturers of opiates. It would make sense that the next step is the pharmacy, then the doctors.
[06:32:50] <Booga1> Just having "done something" is enough to reduce the likelyhood of big payouts. "See, we're trying!"

[12:40:06] <FakeBeldin_> just noticed that the pending stories queue is empty

[22:24:43] <Bytram> And, what is the message that you receive?
