[16:49:15] <exec> └─ 13Miss America is scrapping its swimsuit competition, will no longer judge based on physical appearance - ABC News
[16:50:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> from the how-to-end-a-pageant dept
[16:51:07] <cmn32480> from the ratings-go-in-the-tank dept
[16:54:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's just a ploy to keep President Trump out of the changing rooms.
[16:58:06] <Sulla> So sounds like I will go from not watching It to continue to not watch it
[16:58:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Same here.
[16:59:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> If I want to look at nearly-naked women on a screen, well, there's a computer hooked up to my TV and plenty of nearly- or completely-naked women on the internet.
[16:59:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably SFW unless your coworkers are feminists. https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net
[16:59:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hell, I live in Florida, if I want to look at nearly-naked women IRL, all I have to do is head over to the beach.
[17:01:19] <Sulla> Three days in a row watch averaging 3 seconds fast. Should be easy to get fixed.
[17:01:39] <Sulla> Good pic
[17:01:56] <Sulla> An unwise but entertaining decision
[17:02:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> just use ntp
[17:03:03] <Sulla> I dont know how one would use ntp to time a mechanical watch
[17:03:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, that is exactly the kind of thing i would get my ass kicked over.
[17:03:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, manually.
[17:04:34] <Sulla> Psh. Being +3 seconds a day is an easya djustment for a watchmaker
[17:05:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's an easy, once monthly, adjustment for any human with fingers as well.
[17:05:20] <Sulla> Pthen it can be perfect and I can shitpost on the /g/ watch general thread
[17:06:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly, you could let it go a year and it wouldn't make a shit as far as your daily life goes.
[17:06:57] <Sulla> Guys at cigar shop regularily compare their disgusting expensive watches to time.gov
[17:07:11] <Sulla> If mine was perfect witout adjustment would give me a lot of shittalking
[17:07:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's what comes from having a boring hobby where not doing anything for long periods of time isn't the point
[17:08:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> and why fishing is far superior
[17:08:45] <Sulla> I would fish if I could get out of the house that long
[17:08:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> catfishing in particular is for people who prefer talking to other people or taking a nap to catching fish.
[17:09:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> you have a basement?
[17:11:01] <Sulla> No basement
[17:11:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> dig one and arrange things so it accidentally fills with water and an errant delivery of fingerlings get dumped into it. couple years you won't even have to leave home.

[17:12:14] <Sulla> Sounds lkike a good way to get your insurance cancelled
[17:13:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. not if you ask to insure the new basement as well. fish is valuable.
[17:14:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, hey, it's lunchtime and then naptime.
[17:15:01] <cmn32480> lucky bastard
[17:15:23] <Sulla> Considering actually taking lunch to smoke a cigar
[17:15:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, s'what you get for not getting a nap put in your employment contract.
[17:15:41] <cmn32480> agreed
[17:15:54] <cmn32480> is also what I get for sleeping in the woods the last couple nights
[17:16:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> i thought you got ticks for doing that
[17:16:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> #yt brad paisley ticks

[17:16:31] <upstart> ^ 03Ticks By Brad Paisley *With Lyrics* - YouTube
[17:16:34] <cmn32480> i certainly don't get chicks for doing that
[17:17:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're supposed to get the chicks before you drag them out in the middle of nowhere all alone
[17:18:01] <cmn32480> that's why I took the cargo van....
[17:19:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> what i want to know is did you actually have candy
[17:20:16] <cmn32480> the Beaver Patrol provided that
[17:20:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, off in search of something resembling food
