[19:57:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> The survey is at http://free2think.org if you want to submit that.
[19:50:59] <upstart> ^ 03Momus - Wikipedia
[19:50:58] <mechanicjay> I think this one is good candidate: https://en.wikipedia.org
[19:50:50] <mechanicjay> lol
[19:50:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> So, are we going to ballot-stuff soylentnews.org as a god?
[19:50:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> Said survey can be re-submitted simply by reloading the page.
[19:49:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> They are holding a survey to pick *which* gods to include.
[19:49:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> Atheists of Florida has decided provide these signs, free of charge - with either the words of the First Amendment on it, or pictures of various gods.
[19:49:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> Wait, this story gets better.
[19:49:27] <mechanicjay> That's a really unimaginative state motto.
[19:48:23] * cmn32480 notes taht it is already on the money
[19:47:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> so the florida legislature decided that the state motto - "In God We Trust" - should be displayed in all public schools. (Passed 97-10, too.)

[17:52:30] <cmn32480> oh hell yes.. look at the recent politicking by the teenagers
[17:45:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> most people that I've encountered are stuck permanently at a state of being quite dense.
[17:44:45] <AndyTheAbsurd> They could have done so much more with the doctor. Why can't he sprout extra limbs as needed?!</voyager_thoughts>
[17:44:38] <cmn32480> somethign I wish most people couild do...
[17:44:20] <cmn32480> apparently he has the ability to change his density
[17:44:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> <voyager_thoughts>
[17:44:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> </deep_space_nine_thoughts>
[17:43:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> but his humanoid seems to have a mass approximately equivalent to a human of that size (i.e., he doesn't get blown around the corridors by the ventilation system).
[17:42:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> He turned into some sort of medium-sized bird in one episode and flew around the station (or was it Starfleet Headquarters?)
[17:41:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> I wish that they'd accounted for mass when doing shapeshifty things with Odo
[17:38:54] <cmn32480> Odo has nothign to do with this

[16:22:55] <cmn32480> they always make us jump through hoops
[16:22:35] * fyngyrz ducks
[16:22:32] <fyngyrz> What about leap years?
[16:22:00] <cmn32480> and I do want to be technical about it!
[16:21:52] <cmn32480> correct
[16:18:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> okay, ten years minus one day if you want to get technical about it. :)
[16:17:21] <cmn32480> AndyTheAbsurd - only if you server <2 years of the elevated term
[16:16:54] * cmn32480 is a little bitter.. we jsut got the health insurance premiums for next year
[16:16:28] <cmn32480> Truman was president when it was proposed in 1947 and ratified in 1951
[16:16:08] <fyngyrz> ok, not the founders. The amenders :)
[16:16:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> two when you get elevated from VP to President (death or resignation), then elected twice.
[16:16:00] <cmn32480> Passed WAY after the founders.
[16:15:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> Maximum time in office as President is ten years
[16:15:40] <fyngyrz> Thank the founders, god had nothing to do with it
[16:15:33] <chromas> We just need an amendment
[16:15:26] <cmn32480> thank God
[16:15:21] <fyngyrz> so, no Barack
[16:14:56] <cmn32480> I mingth be incorrect
[16:14:51] <cmn32480> any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
[16:14:51] <cmn32480> No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent
[16:14:51] <cmn32480> Section 1
[16:14:47] <fyngyrz> I can't imagine he's want the job, though
[16:14:39] <chromas> So could you have two people tag team?
[16:14:36] <fyngyrz> I'd vote for him again.
[16:14:23] <fyngyrz> same here
[16:14:19] <chromas> That's what I thought but I haven't read it in decades.
[16:14:09] <fyngyrz> lol "Kenyans"
[16:13:58] <chromas> The limit doesn't apply to Kenyans?
[16:13:58] <cmn32480> the way the amendment is written says for 2 consecutive terms
[16:13:40] <cmn32480> OBama is not term limited anymore
[16:13:13] <fyngyrz> Also pretty sure next president will be a Dem, so buy those gun stocks now while they are depressed. :)
[16:13:02] <chromas> Another option: Barack transitions, runs as Obamela.
[16:12:51] <fyngyrz> Or Clinton, etc.
[16:12:34] <fyngyrz> Pretty sure that electing Sanders would have the same effect
[16:11:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> Obama's term limited, we'd need an amendment removing the two-term limit. Michelle Obama could get elected, though.
[16:08:38] <chromas> Need to get Obama back into office so "they're terkin' are guns" can get the sales back up
[16:07:02] <chromas> Shhhh
[16:06:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> That's long before the march was organized.
[16:06:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> "Stephen Jackson, Remington's chief financial officer, said in the filing that the company has seen a significant decline in revenue and sales over the last 12 months."
[16:06:42] <chromas> Yes
[16:06:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> would it be heresy to suggest that you should RTFA?
[16:05:44] <chromas> Well they did it. The march won

[15:16:23] <boru> Aye, less is far more useful.
[15:10:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> less is more... less +F is also tail -f.
[15:09:24] <boru> Here's to meritocracy.
[15:09:11] <boru> I do that at work already.
[15:08:06] <pinchy> more command scroll back misses the first line. what a jip, will have to start using less instead
[14:57:19] <cmn32480> then claim unemployment if they fire you
[14:56:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> I do that shit anyway
[14:56:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> LOL
[14:56:41] <pinchy> heck yea, no fear of getting fired
[14:56:24] <Sulla> Tell everyone what I think, actually call people out for problems
[14:56:05] <Sulla> Its the period of eternal short-timers
[14:55:54] <Sulla> If I won the loto id still go to work
[14:53:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> I rarely buy lotto tickets, when I do it's generally "pick the numbers" ones not scratch, I only play when the jackpots are above $400 million, and I never spend money that I will have a hard time doing without on something with such an unlikely return.
[14:53:42] <pinchy> hah someone at work was joking aobut that. "i prolly wouldnt even call to say i quit, might give boss a call but thats stretching it"
[14:52:42] <pinchy> "nope i wanted the mega millions not the lotto punch bowl"
[14:52:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> hmmm... I don't have much that I'm sentimental about here, but I'd probably still clean up my stuff when I came in to quit ('cause I'd want to do that in person).
[14:52:06] <pinchy> "no not that one gimme that one and that one blah blah"
[14:51:54] <pinchy> i saw some old woman buying lotto tickets at the gas station. it was sad. she spent a couple of minutes picking out which scratch offs to buy
[14:50:38] <AndyTheAbsurd> which is several boatloads more dollars than I currently have.
[14:50:36] <pinchy> would u even bother to collect your things from work if you won?
[14:50:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's 458 million dollars
[14:50:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'll settle for winning tomorrow night's mega millions jackpot
[14:48:16] <pinchy> 11 bazillion dollars
