[01:39:06] <chromas> Did it used to be better?
[01:39:28] <chromas> Oh, I see the xkcd comment was from before I dropped out
[01:42:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> u00, i quit reading when the author endorsed hillary.
[01:43:29] <u00> yea i remember that, the "im with her" got u triggered haha
[01:43:57] <u00> maybe that was the downfall/turning point of xkcd
[01:44:14] <chromas> Scott Adams v. Randall Munroe...FIGHT!
[01:45:08] <u00> the far side was the best comic strip imo
[01:46:04] <u00> i like the one where the scientists makes the dog translating device and puts it on his head. all the dogs in the neighborhood are saying "hey" when they bark
[01:46:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> not triggered. i was just like "okay, i'm done with xkcd" and went on about my day.
[01:47:06] <u00> but it seems with any creative entertainment that if u try to keep it going too long it gets dull no matter how hard u try
[01:48:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> except porn
[01:49:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> i really wish south park would up their game again though. we're in desperate need of holding self-righteous shitstains' feet to the fire at the moment.
[01:49:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> matt n trey used to be really good at that
[01:49:33] <chromas> Maybe porn, too. Do you still enjoy the recent work of the actresses from your first porns?
[01:50:04] <u00> u betcha!
[01:50:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, they're all dead from aids cept the hedgehog but yeah, i still enjoy his stuff.
[01:50:43] <u00> just kidding. seems with pr0n its flooded with people that shouldnt be taking there clothes in front of a camera
[01:51:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> what, like the hedgehog? he's my favorite porn actor. if a guy as ugly as him can get paid to fuck, anything's possible.
[01:53:14] <chromas> Guys can be ugly 'cause they're just props. #DoubleStandards #meninism

[01:57:31] <u00> any of yall ever rented a house before? ive been doing the apt thing forever and finally decided to take the plunge and rent a damn house
[01:58:22] <u00> can finally pull my car into a garage, no more footsteps above or below and next door
[01:58:42] <chromas> My mom was renting. They jacked up the rent though recently so it was cheaper to just buy a house.
[01:59:27] <chromas> Houses kick ass though. Nobody walking on your head or barking dogs on the other side of the wall
[01:59:55] <u00> yea just paying someones mortgage. i figured for a few hundred more have a place of my 'own' and a fuckton bigger
[02:00:11] <u00> 3 bedroom just for lil ol me
[02:00:43] <chromas> You can make one into a server room. Start hording racks.
[02:01:58] <u00> hah and even better all my neighbors have the same skin color as me lol
[02:02:19] <u00> thouhgt i was living in south africa for a while
[02:03:31] <chromas> Hey, that sounds like an argument for interracial couples :D
[02:03:40] <chromas> In a couple generations, everyone will be the same
[02:07:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> u00, i'm renting now.
[02:08:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, send all the hot black chicks my way. i'll be happy to lend a hand.
[02:09:05] <chromas> We have very few black African Americans of color around here, but the ones I've seen were pretty attractive
[02:09:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> at least send the ones with jobs. i ain't helping grow the welfare state.
[02:09:20] <chromas> is that racist?
[02:09:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure, why not.
[02:10:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> but no. the entire premise there was "it's all pink inside".
[02:10:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> misogynist not racist
[02:10:48] <chromas> Why-not-both?.mp4
[02:12:41] <chromas> But you're right. What I should've said is "We have very few black African Americans of color around here, so all the crime is done by the Maxicans" :D
[02:13:10] <u00> TMB: are u required to the upkeep on the lawn? ive heard that it depends on the owner?
[02:13:14] * chromas looks around for minicans
[02:15:13] <chromas> I think it's usually your responsibility but maybe some fancy houses would include lawn maintenance. Also, watch out for home-owners' associations
[02:15:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep. the lawn is your problem.
[02:16:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> the lawn, burned out lightbulbs, changing the ac filter. not much else.

[02:56:37] <u00> if i have to do the lawn i think im gonna get an electric push mower. never used an electric one. but I have used an electric weed whacker
[02:59:29] <chromas> I wonder if anyone's tried making a battery-powered mower
[03:01:08] <u00> looks like they do make them
[03:01:21] <u00> hah i bet they already got battery powered riding mowers
[03:02:55] <u00> yep
[03:03:15] <chromas> If you wanna be enviro-friendly, get yourself a reel mower https://www.homedepot.com

[03:05:08] <u00> my dad had one of those
[03:05:21] <u00> it cut ok when the grass wasnt high
[03:05:43] <u00> pretty useless if it got too thick
[03:06:38] <chromas> Needs adjustable height
[03:08:08] <chromas> You can also pay a neighbor kid to mow it

[03:41:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> u00, i wouldn't get an electric push mower. fighting the cord is a huge pain in the ass.
[03:42:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> if it's not a really big yard, just get a small gas powered push mower. make sure you run it dry of gas before storing it for the winter and put new oil in it in the spring and it should last a good long time.
[03:43:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh and always use "get this ethanol shit the fuck out of my gas" additive or the fuel lines will melt.

[15:55:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, neat. california is now automatically registering you to vote when you get a driver's license.
[15:56:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> works out really neat with their "you do not have to provide documentation proving legal status to get a driver's license" policy
[16:09:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> oh good, the "massive voter fraud" that Republicans are always claiming is happening (despite a complete lack of evidence and only a handful of arrests per election - most of which turn out to be in Republicans favor) will *actually* be happening now.
[16:10:52] <Bytram> hmm "automatically registering you to vote" OR... "Automatically filing an application for you to vote" ??
[16:11:17] <Bytram> presumably, in the second case, the application could be denied if the submitter was not able to be verified as a resident?
[16:12:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> http://www.latimes.com
[16:12:56] <upstart> ^ 03Here's how California's new voter registration law will work - LA Times
[16:13:18] <Bytram> clicky
[16:13:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> Here's the choice quote: "Information about anyone who does not decline registration will be electronically transmitted from the DMV to the secretary of state’s office, where citizenship will be verified and names will be added to the voter rolls."
[16:13:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> actually this article may be out of date
[16:13:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's from 2015
[16:14:04] <Bytram> When people go to the DMV to obtain or renew a driver's license, or to get a state identification card, they’ll be asked for the usual information in such transactions, such as their name, date of birth and address. They’ll also be asked to affirm their eligibility to vote and will be given the choice of opting out of registering at that time. Information about anyone who does not decline registration will be electronica
[16:14:04] <Bytram> lly transmitted from the DMV to the secretary of state’s office, where citizenship will be verified and names will be added to the voter rolls.
[16:14:18] <Bytram> "where citizenship will be verified"
[16:14:25] <Bytram> ^^ key phrase
[16:16:20] <Bytram> and, specifically addresses under the last header in the story: "What about people in the country illegally who are able to obtain driver's licenses in California under a law passed in 2013?"
[16:16:33] <Bytram> specifically:
[16:16:35] <Bytram> "Padilla noted that there is already a separate process for residents in the country illegally to apply for special licenses. Although citizens are currently offered the opportunity to register to vote at the DMV under an earlier federal law, noncitizens are not. That will continue under the new registration process. People applying for the special licenses will not be asked about their eligibility to vote and will not be asked if
[16:16:35] <Bytram> they’d like to opt out of registration.
[16:16:35] <Bytram> “We’ve built the protocols and the firewalls to not register people that aren’t eligible,” Padilla said. “We’re going to keep those firewalls in place.""
[16:16:39] <Bytram> EOT
[16:16:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, over five thousand votes were thrown out for ineligibility just in virginia last election cycle.
[16:17:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, the first case. you have to take action to keep from being registered.
[16:18:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, how is citizenship going to be verified when you're not obligated to provide proof of it to get a license? hard to check the records when there are no records.
[16:19:27] <Bytram> disagree
[16:19:40] <Bytram> disagree at least wrt non-residents
[16:19:54] <Bytram> "Padilla noted that there is already a separate process for residents in the country illegally to apply for special licenses."
[16:20:10] <Bytram> so there are special license for illegal residents
[16:20:25] <Bytram> next sentence: "Although citizens are currently offered the opportunity to register to vote at the DMV under an earlier federal law, noncitizens are not."
[16:20:42] <Bytram> so choice to apply to registr is ONLY offered to residents
[16:20:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> that special process should be "get your damned visa renewed, or get thrown out on your ass!"
[16:20:58] <Bytram> confirmed with this "People applying for the special licenses will not be asked about their eligibility to vote and will not be asked if they’d like to opt out of registration."
[16:21:16] <Bytram> special license ==> not offered chance to apply to vote
[16:22:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> well damn. i was hoping there was going to be a fun legal shitstorm.
[16:22:47] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: I make no comment on that issue. Just addressing as to whether or not illegal residents would have an opportunity to automatically apply to register to vote... looks like they are not even given the *option*.

[16:30:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's easy enough to write ones that'll do what they're supposed to. it's much harder to do it correctly with error checking and useful feedback.
[16:31:20] <Bytram> The first 80% of the work takes 80% of the time. The last 20% of the work takes 80% of the time.
[16:31:40] <Bytram> or 90/10 depending on your level of pessimism

[16:33:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> I will not brew Decaf. Decaf is the mind-killer. decaf brings the little sleep that leads to total oblivion. I will embrace the caffeine. I will brew my beverages and let them flow through me, and when they are gone, I will remain...alert.

[16:42:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> I've never quite figure out which.
[16:43:43] <Bytram> the hardest part is getting started.
[16:45:05] * Bytram woke at 11:30 pm and went about debugging why a set of scripts to auto-download a bunch of pages was failing to put things in the right directories... kept thinking the MKDIR was failing... come to find out, I had a type in the CHDIR command, instead.
[16:45:12] <Bytram> :P
[16:45:44] <Bytram> there was no way to do it but to turn on debugging and single step through the output of each command, manually.
[16:46:33] <Bytram> once THAT was fixed, I added all the usual accouterments: help message / syntax examples, and parameter count verification.
[16:46:58] <Bytram> then gave it another full test run... worked like a charm!
