[11:57:59] <cmn32480> so power comes back quick?
[11:58:02] <Bytram> problem is... I've got a blinking yellow light on the lappy saying the battery ain't charging... and the UPS failed me at the same time.
[11:58:14] <cmn32480> I have a buddy who is on the same piece of the grid as the local Air Force Base

[11:58:25] <Bender> karma - priority: 1
[11:58:35] <Bytram> first time, was out for about 90 minutes but that is when the wind was still gusting around 60mph, and it was raining an inch per hour... no complaints on that one
[11:58:44] <Bytram> last night, was out for, maybe, 30minutes
[11:58:56] <cmn32480> but you were sleeping so no harm done!
[11:59:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> only bad thing about running this rom is you gotta back your shat up cause you gotta do a clean install for every upgrade. the 8.0 rom is sposed to do away with that mechanic and let you live update though.
[12:00:10] * Bytram cannot imagine being in a bucket truck, in that weather (windy, horizontal heavy rain), with trees and branches swaying all around, meanwhile trying to wrasssle possibly high voltage/amp power lines into place. Could not pay me enough.
[12:00:55] <cmn32480> being a lineman is no joke
[12:01:05] <cmn32480> actually a pretty decent paying profession from what I understand
[12:01:14] <cmn32480> and you can't say they don't work hard
[12:01:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> pays quite good and decent benefits, yes
[12:01:46] <Bytram> I've done some work with running 110v lines (electrician's helper for a while) but I got extra careful with 220v and/or > 30 AMP circuits
[12:02:17] <Bytram> not just working hard... working LONG hours with little sleep.
[12:03:04] <Bytram> cmn32480: I pushed out a couple stories, but that's about all I'll be able to get to this AM... (time to get ready for work.)
[12:03:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> as a general rule, the guys who work in the electric shop at the place where The Roomie used to work make ~$30/hr with outstanding benefits and they still become linemen as soon as they can get on with the power company
[12:03:35] <Bytram> afk / laters
[12:03:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> later
[12:03:44] <cmn32480> thanks bytram
[12:03:48] <cmn32480> I'll poke it in a few
[12:04:05] <Bytram> mare sea!
[12:04:10] <Bytram> ciao for now
[12:04:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> no ciao for me. still drinking coffee.
[12:04:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> food happens later
[12:07:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg. i've read all the news, caught up on site stuff, don't feel like coding, and now i'm bored.

[17:20:47] <cmn32480> it's quite alright
[17:20:55] <takyon> i was a noob once
[17:20:56] <cmn32480> we were all there at some point
[17:21:08] <rc5cows> :)
[17:21:23] <cmn32480> some more recently than others...

[17:21:32] <rc5cows> pleasure to be acknowledged *tips hat*
[17:21:37] * boru scoffs
[17:22:44] <rc5cows> however, my first IRC access was in '97. discovered silent 5min ago
[17:22:50] <cmn32480> we are a rather welcoming group once you get past most of us ding dong

[17:23:34] <boru> Freudian slip.
[17:23:37] <cmn32480> so rc5cows, what brings you to our little corner of the internet
[17:24:06] <takyon> rc5cows probably wants the soylent meal replacement beverage
[17:25:15] <cmn32480> speaking of which,... I missed lunch
[17:25:16] <rc5cows> liked the home page - saw channel and popped in - all linked through javascript thread.
[17:26:42] <rc5cows> in broad strokes, i despise javascript. meanwhile my typing skills have never matured either.
[17:27:17] <cmn32480> so far you sound like you'll fit right in
[17:30:06] <rc5cows> as for beverage, am a salty chips man - occasionally with dill or vinegar (flavors, not an obfuscated reference.)

[20:18:45] <takyon> there is a bacon emoji
[20:18:58] <takyon> there are also "combiner" characters that can be used to create a custom/nonstandard emoji
[20:19:25] <takyon> so it ought to be possible to make a combined "bacon cheeseburger" emoji with fat ass stacks of bacon peeking through the bun
[20:19:28] <chromas> That means we need an emoji for each item in the burger, so we can combine them in layers
