[11:01:35] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - California Supreme Court Blocks Proposal to Split State Into Three From November Ballot - http://sylnt.us - fault-lines
[11:11:46] <boru> What was the motivation for splitting California for voting?
[11:14:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> to get four more Republican Senators, probably.
[11:15:18] <boru> So that's why it was blocked?
[11:17:28] <AndyTheAbsurd> the group that sued says that the ballot initiative violates the state constitution.
[11:46:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> good ruling even if it wasn't the result i'd prefer
[11:49:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> there was an earlier proposal - from the same main backer, in 2014 - to split California into six states. Which would have been named Jefferson, North California, Central California, Silicon Valley, West California, and South California.
[11:50:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> I really think he should have used "East" rather than "Central" just to get all four cardinal compass points in.
[12:06:27] <pinchy> TMB is on vacation. get ur sql injection cheat sheet handy
[12:26:09] <chromas> The California split would be a lot more likely if they could get a Martin Luther King Jr in there
[12:26:55] <cmn32480> coffee++
[12:26:55] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4189
[12:27:45] <cmn32480> chromas - woudl that make the whole state a bad neighborhood?
[12:28:04] <chromas> That's racist
[12:28:08] <chromas> but yes
[12:28:23] <cmn32480> prob'ly
[12:28:56] <chromas> Some of their cities are shitholes already. Seattle too
[12:29:26] <chromas> Need to bring back the Poop Map, but make it national
[12:29:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> rehash is damned near if not entirely immune to sql injection attacks but have fun trying if you like
[12:29:46] <chromas> What about utf8 injection?
[12:29:55] <chromas> or utf8-over-sql
[12:30:10] <boru> Do you mean utf8 expansion attacks?
[12:30:15] * chromas malforms some utf8 to query
[12:30:58] <chromas> There's no technical maximum to the number of bytes for a character is there?
[12:31:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, we're vulnerable to emojis. that's like the first thing i broke
[12:32:59] <chromas> Emoji support is inconsistent. Sad.
[12:33:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's your font. eat less starchy and fiberous foods.
[12:34:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> my friend that works on Bugzilla for Mozilla recently got Bugzilla fixed so that you can use emoji as bug aliases there.
[12:35:08] <chromas> For example, I can put a poo glyph in the dept field but on the next preview it gets nuked, so whoever 2nds the story has to fix it
[12:35:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> which IIRC involved changing something in MySQL from a type of "utf8" to "utf8mb4" because MySQL's UTF-8 support isn't *really* UTF-8.
[12:36:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, that's because we hate eds. it's a feature not a bug.
[12:36:44] <chromas> If you really hated the eds then you'd add more javascript to the ui
[12:36:57] <cmn32480> we are aware of your feelings toward the editorial staff... adn yet we ruin some of yhour stuff anyway
[12:37:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, we support full range but we use a hack for the mb4 characters
[12:38:14] <chromas> Still have better support than Imgur. It only shows four-byte glyphs in notifications. Everywhere else gets ????
[12:38:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> been meaning to fix that for a couple years
[12:38:35] <chromas> Switching to MongoDB?
[12:39:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, utf8 to utf8mb4 db conversion

[12:43:01] <chromas> There's a new theme?
[12:43:01] * chromas clicks preferences, waits 45 minutes for server to reply
[12:43:26] * cmn32480 give s the server a kick in hopes of helping chromas
[12:43:41] * chromas doesn't see any new themes; is disappoint
[12:44:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> there will be. im making a #c0ffee theme when i get home
[12:44:30] * Bytram is *still* reading scrollback -- you all been a chatty lot!
[12:44:35] <chromas> Even the c0ffee theme isn't there. Is it on dev or something?
[12:46:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll make it a dark one to contrast the light #c0ffee color
[12:47:55] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: I was replying to your comment "Good Answer, good answer" -- which I assumed was in reference to my e-mail reply to the person who asked for info on RSS story bots

[12:49:17] <Bytram> cmn32480: yep, looks like you nailed it.... thanks!
[12:49:31] <cmn32480> I used to play that gam on an 8086
[12:49:46] <Bytram> countless quarters at the local arcade
[12:50:05] <Bytram> was fun to watch... loved themusic
[12:51:11] * Bytram was much better at *playing* Star Wars, though. Had a 'yoke' as the steering wheel which one could turn left/right and pivot up/down, with both finger and thumb triggers for both hands...
[12:51:34] * Bytram extra triggers were handy (pun intended) as my hands would start to cramp up after an hour or so.
[12:54:47] <cmn32480> we didn't ahve an arcade near where I grew up... and by that point, aracades were (mostly) a thing of the past
[12:56:33] <Bytram> :sad face:
[12:58:07] <Bytram> they were too expensive for me until I had graduated from college... then I invested^W Spent^W wasted way too much money gaining proficiency on a few select games, and others just to remind myself how good I was NOT

[13:44:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> so...who thinks I should buy the lawn mowing business that's for sale locally and get the hell off the internet?
[13:45:08] <Bytram> the local lawn mowing business owner?
[13:45:15] <Bytram> ;)
[13:45:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> I wonder if he'll sell me his truck, too - I don't think mine is big enough.
[13:46:16] <Bytram> better get the/any trailer(s), too
[13:46:40] <Bytram> oh, and a place to dump the lawn clippings / leaf rakings
[13:47:12] <Bytram> and general liability insurance, as well as disability ins for yourself, too
[13:47:30] <AndyTheAbsurd> He's got the "for sale" sign posted on the trailer itself, loaded up with all the equipment.
[13:47:40] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:48:07] <Bytram> heh. do the mowers actually run? And, if so, how well?
[13:48:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's not a bad job. physical labor if quite zen once you find your groove.
[13:48:26] * Bytram hopes there are both riding and push mowers
[13:48:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> I think liability/disability insurance would be the real sticking point, rather than the initial investment.
[13:48:42] <Bytram> nod
[13:48:44] <Bytram> nod nod
[13:48:57] <Bytram> gnawed gnawed by a... squirrel!
[13:48:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'm not seriously considering it, though; I actually like being in IT.
[13:49:10] <Bytram> better weather conditions
[13:49:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> I just find it fun to explore possibilities from time to time.
[13:49:33] <Bytram> also, there tend to be on/off seasons with landscaping -- how THEN do you pay the bills?
[13:49:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> time for me to bail. kids need some vacation activities. they ass sit enough at home.
[13:49:46] <Bytram> up north, one can branch out to snow plowing
[13:50:07] <Bytram> I hear there's not so much of that in Florida. =)
[13:50:19] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: ciao for now
[13:50:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> You are correct! ... but also there's enough rain and sun that we'd have slow/busy seasons rather than on/off seasons.
[13:50:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> it pays better than IT if run correctly and you can find good help.
[13:51:06] <Bytram> yeah, it's that last part that can be troublesome
[13:51:16] <Bytram> unemployment is low
[13:51:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> easy in ok, impossible in tn
[13:51:41] <Bytram> work ethic ain't what it used to be, either
[13:52:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway, laters

[15:19:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> I should find a time when they're planning a launch for a Sunday or Monday, and take a week off to go over to Canaveral.
[15:19:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> (I never assume that rockets will launch on schedule.)
[15:20:11] <Bytram> reasonable assumption
[15:20:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> I wonder if anyone's kept statistics on that...
[15:20:49] <Bytram> I would well imagine that would be the case.
[15:20:52] <Bytram> hmmm.
[15:21:39] <Bytram> if you look at the entries for each launch, you can see how many times, and approximately when, that launch was rescheduled...
[15:21:59] <Bytram> my sense is that SpaceX previously had LOTS of rescheduling... not so much any more
[15:23:23] <Bytram> but, then again, scroll down to the "Falcon 9 • Crew Dragon Demo 1"
[15:24:01] <Bytram> The more recently the launch was added to the schedule, ISTM, the more likely that the launch will be on-time.

[15:26:04] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: If you ever decide to go, pls give me a heads up... my schedule has many restrictions, but I've been following rocket launches since around the days of Saturn V (and prolly earlier, just don't remember so well) and would so very like to see a launch in person.

[16:28:26] <Sulla> I was reading about the overabundance of pork/etc in american packaging plants as we are having issues exporting due to the tariffs
[16:28:52] <Sulla> And the farmers being inteviewed by Cnn/etc commenting that its worth taking the hit for better revenues down the line
[16:28:59] <Sulla> differences between a tariff and an embargo?
[16:29:16] <Sulla> That said the french have been dealing with this for years not months
[16:32:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> embargo means NONE of the targeted product can come in
[16:33:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> tariff means customer pays EXTRA to get the targeted product
[16:33:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> (yes, tariffs can be high enough to be, functionally, embargoes - see US sugar tariffs.)

[16:40:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> Apparently he thought it was a gymnasium in the original Greek sense of the word.
[16:47:36] <Sulla> if he wasn't ugly would people have cared as much?

[17:38:27] <Sulla> Get that phone to work at all bytram?
[17:38:36] <Bytram> yes, thanks.
[17:38:56] <Sulla> I need to email gaaark to see if his got through customes
[17:38:59] <Sulla> customs*
[17:39:00] <Bytram> as I have a different phone carrier, I'll not be using it as a proper phone, but it is a neat little rig, and
[17:39:13] <Bytram> I got a MicroSD card for it to haul around songs, etc.
[17:39:25] <Sulla> yeah, i recall you asked about the built in radio
[17:39:30] <Sulla> what carrier do you use?
[17:39:38] <Bytram> ahh, didn't get to that, yet.
[17:39:42] <Bytram> thanks for the reminder!
[17:39:53] * Bytram is knackered
[17:40:31] * Bytram worked until close on Sat nite, open on Sunday, worked 'til close on Sunday, and then was there to open on Monday.
[17:40:55] <Sulla> rough
[17:41:21] <Bytram> saw story queue was running light, so just pushed out 4 more stories to tide us over for a while..
[17:41:32] <Bytram> and made a few subs for the other eds to make use of.
[17:41:52] <Bytram> at least I am on vacation next week, but do not, as yet, have any firm plans.
[17:42:00] <Sulla> Just free aristarchus, lots of articles
[17:42:17] <Sulla> Im stuck not taking vacation until next june
[17:42:22] <Bytram> just having an aimless kind of day today to let the echoes die off, if you know what I mean?
[17:42:29] <Sulla> yeah
[17:42:47] <Bytram> I looked at a couple and recoiled at the ad hominem attacks
[17:42:56] <Sulla> hah
[17:43:10] <Sulla> i back up to 50 and could use burning a few points
[17:43:17] <Bytram> that goes entirely against everything I am about and how I try to treat other people
[17:43:20] <Sulla> I was happy I got 12 moderations on a post last thread
[17:43:35] <Bytram> oh? I could 'fix' that for ya... ;)
[17:43:53] <Bytram> j/k
[17:43:59] <Sulla> I'm sure arist and death will take care of it for you, they are always on top of it
[17:45:03] <Bytram> it's sad... an obviously intelligent person with a wide-ranging background, wasted on what appears to be sophistry and trying to denigrate others. I don't get it.
[17:46:42] <Sulla> The past two years have been one set of folks stuck in a situation where the election was so far outside what they expected from reality that reality itself must be faulty, and then you have the set of folks that have been spending two years running a victory lap. You also have the people who don't care, or who choose a side, any side, for what makes the most lulz at the time
[17:47:01] <Sulla> Live in interesting times
[17:49:43] <Bytram> hmmm, ancient curse: "May you live a long and interesting life."
[17:49:56] <Sulla> Chinese are full of interesting wisdom
[17:50:35] <Bytram> with that many people, over that long of a time, they are bound to come up with some good stuff(TM)
[17:51:48] * Bytram looks at the time and realizes it is way past time to have had some breakfast
[17:51:56] <Bytram> afk, biab (maybe)

[19:17:05] <Sulla> So what is the problem islam has with alcohol that is not a pot issue? I guess I kind of assumed it was wrapped up in an overall dislike of altered states of mind
[19:18:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> IIRC, there's a verse in the Koran that forbids drunkenness - which has been expanded by fundamentalists to a ban on all alcohol, even though that's not what the actual wording is.
