[10:58:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> sorry, twenty not two
[10:59:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> and it's all from the same fucked up source
[11:00:00] <fyngyrz> Perhaps MrPlow should turn a blind eye to that site
[11:00:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> Vote4Pedro, never have enough editors. that's like having too much money or too many hot chicks wanting your junk.
[11:00:25] <Vote4Pedro> :]
[11:00:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> the more we have, the less each has to do.

[11:34:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> little sons of bitches are always either fucking or fighting right across the street
[11:35:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> Vote4Pedro, vaping is for pussies. real men ain't askeert of piddly things like cancer.
[11:35:58] <Vote4Pedro> :D
[11:37:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> seriously though, it wouldn't work for me. i don't smoke for the nicotine, i smoke because i enjoy smoking.
[11:38:42] <Vote4Pedro> I understand, only too well.
[11:39:18] <Vote4Pedro> there's one vape device which tries to simulate the hit you get from smoking, back of throat, whatever, it looks like a usb flash drive
[11:43:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> steam just != smoke
[11:43:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> if i just wanted the nicotine, i'd chew the gum or wear patches

[11:45:17] <Bytram> looks like helium is scheduled for: 2018-05-08 1:00:00 AM UTC
[11:45:42] <Bytram> and then boron, magnesium, and neon are due just 2 hours later
[11:45:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, note that that is a two hour window starting then and that neon's window starts exactly when helium's ends.
[11:45:59] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:46:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> could potentially cause a problem but i don't expect one
[11:46:29] <Bytram> as best I can remember, they've always hit the server reboots on time, no?

[11:57:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes. aware of that.
[11:58:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> off hand i'd guess we lost a bit of logic that said if subscription_type == "user" set uid = puid
