[00:35:28] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Patients Sue Hospital over Hidden Cameras in Operating Rooms - http://sylnt.us - what-expectation-of-privacy
[00:56:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, right. forgot why i was avoiding most of the internet today. i'll go watch more tv then.
[01:04:10] <AzumaHazuki> got good deal on some stuff today :3 a local chain is closing and i got things 60% off
[01:04:34] <AzumaHazuki> new pillowcases, 6 pairs of socks, 3 cute tops, a new mat for the shower, and what was a $160 piece of luggage for $65
[01:06:22] <AzumaHazuki> if it all goes to Hell in a handbasket, i at least have an actual handbasket (with wheels and a handle) for it all to go to Hell in :D
[01:23:58] <chromas> Our local Shopko's closing. You don't live here, do you?
[01:25:21] <AzumaHazuki> where is "here?"
[01:26:16] <chromas> Walla Walla
[01:26:23] <chromas> (Washington)
[01:49:33] <chromas> "Health-Related Blockchain MEDIKEY to Reward Participants in Coin If They Become Healthy Through Exercise"
[01:49:40] <chromas> is there anything blockchain can't do?
[01:50:57] <RandomFactor_> I'm assuming that is rhetorical.
[01:51:52] <AzumaHazuki> yes there is:measure anything of practical value whatsofuckingever
[01:56:31] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - New York Budget Highlights Released - Expands Internet Sales Tax - http://sylnt.us - death,-taxes,-and-'this-causes-cancer-in-the-state-of-California'
[01:57:13] <RandomFactor_> I really thought that one was gonna die unloved.
[01:57:45] <chromas> it says internet tax. We need the two-minutes-hate
[01:58:31] <RandomFactor_> *nod*
[01:59:08] <chromas> Actually, I started on it, then changed my mind. Then later, I decided it was easier to post it than to look at the other subs :D
[01:59:44] <chromas> laziness++
[01:59:44] <Bender> karma - laziness: 4
[02:00:14] <RandomFactor_> Taking advantage of editor laziness is my evil plan
[02:01:14] <chromas> I barely even look at takyon and Bytram subs; I just stick a time on and push save. Others get a little more scrutiny though
[02:02:18] <AzumaHazuki> takyon is getting a little...er...i don't know a single word to describe the concept "slowly radicalized by osmosis, and turning into your embarrassing racist uncle at Thanksgiving dinner"
[02:02:21] <Bytram> if you see anything more than a couple paragraphs from me, most especially if it is a "meta" story, it *does* bear closer scrutiny... I tends to get to a point where I am seeing "word salad", if you know what I mean!
[02:02:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> editors are laziness amateurs. we held a SN laziness olympics and they took the gold but the admins stayed home and had a nap, so we actually won.
[02:03:05] <chromas> There's nothing racist about my embarrassing uncle :)
[02:03:31] <RandomFactor_> Mine's a giant overgrown boyscout.
[02:03:42] <RandomFactor_> (old school boyscout)
[02:03:55] <chromas> TheMightyBuzzard: at least the admins are around. Check out the laziness of the board members
[02:04:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> true. they win.
[02:04:15] <chromas> When's the last time anyone heard from the cfo?
[02:04:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> nc is currently the money guy. mrcoolbp retired.
[02:04:34] <chromas> ah
[02:04:53] <chromas> dammit people, stop having lives!
[02:05:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> matt_ still does stuff if we get in touch and say "hey, can you do stuff?"
[02:06:12] <chromas> I still say we turn sn into a church. No taxes, minimal scrutiny and we can host the servers at your place when we're done
[02:06:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i, by the way, am badass at being an embarrassing uncle.
[02:06:35] <chromas> And we can take donations to get your church renovated professionaly
[02:07:17] <RandomFactor_> Trying to conflate soylent with flying spaghetti monster. coming up empty.
[02:07:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> thriller dance in wal-mart, "stop her, she's stealing cantaloupes!" about the large hootered woman in the produce aisle.
[02:07:45] <chromas> We don't have to involve pasta. It could be pizza or tacos
[02:09:46] <chromas> Why's she bringing owls into the melon section?
[02:10:05] <RandomFactor_> it's unsanitary
[02:10:25] <AzumaHazuki> you can't fool owls
[02:10:47] <RandomFactor_> True, they're the ones that figured out how many licks to get to the center
[02:10:47] * chromas tweets about the owls with large melons
[02:14:06] * chromas enqueues the fb button
[02:14:44] <RandomFactor_> That one was a gimme
[02:14:47] <chromas> I should change the dept to "You're seeing this story because you didn't sub anything good"
[02:14:53] <RandomFactor_> haha
[02:15:11] <chromas> Shitting on the community is popular with this crowd, right?
[02:15:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> i prefer the toilet but to each their own
[02:16:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> barring that, editors are more fun to shit on than the community
[02:16:31] <chromas> Speaking of toilets, I went to slashdot the other day and most of the stories were about Apple
[02:17:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> well now that's a coincidence, i read /. on the shitter. stories not comments. yall fuckers spoiled me on comments.
[02:19:02] <RandomFactor_> Speaking of spoiled. Should i toss that milk or see if the dog wants it...decisions decisions
[02:19:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> leave it and tell the SO you're making cheese
[02:20:38] <Bytram> Well I'll be... the latest meta story (about site funding and Fnord666) got a nice response: We netted nearly $360 since the story went live at 15:55 UTC (which was about 10h 20m ago assuming I did my time calculation math right)
[02:20:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> but if those are the only choices, here's an important question: does the dog sleep inside?
[02:21:11] <RandomFactor_> sounds right, it was 12xx before and 1502 when i looked earlier
[02:22:03] <chromas> When's the last time we had a new poll? How about a poll about your old milk?
[02:22:43] <RandomFactor_> 1) give to dog 2) give to cat 3) make cheese 4) see what happens if you mix it 50/50 with new milk...
[02:23:20] <AzumaHazuki> ay blyat, your babushka never teach you how make proper kefir, urod
[02:23:57] <chromas> ooh, then a poll with several insults as answers
[02:24:07] <chromas> "Best insult?"
[02:25:08] <Bytram> chromas: Poll: How often do you read SoylentNews?
[02:25:24] <chromas> As an editor, I don't have to read anything
[02:26:07] * chromas just randomly clicks things until there's stuff in the queue—poll option 8
[02:26:12] <Bytram> I can make that work -- has sufficient ambiguity to lead to some comments about the poll, as well as some [possibly] illuminating info about the community's reading habits.
[02:26:25] <Bytram> on it
[02:26:29] <RandomFactor_> 1) do headlines count 2) I'm just here for the articles 3) i can't read, i just like the color schemes
[02:27:18] <RandomFactor_> 4) tldr
[02:27:22] <chromas> here for the articles! hah! Nobody believes that
[02:27:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya. i'm only here for the riches and fame
[02:28:06] * RandomFactor_ thought it was the skittles
[02:28:17] * Bytram yawns
[02:28:17] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into Bytram's gaping mouth
[02:28:21] <Bytram> yum!
[02:28:27] * chromas mixes in reese pieces and ms in with the skittles
[02:28:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> skittle thief!
[02:29:29] <chromas> hey now, the service is available. if you didn't want your skittles-as-a-service taken advantage of, you should've put on a password
[02:30:06] <AzumaHazuki> looks like an SQL (skittles query language?) injection exploit, lol
[02:30:26] <RandomFactor_> Little Bobby Skittles
[02:30:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> blah. next you'll want me to use them on the sn servers. too much effort.
[02:30:34] * chromas stuffs a malformed skittle into MrPlow
[02:33:50] <AzumaHazuki> one of the ones you get sometimes where the coating is grainy and there's no S on it?
[02:34:22] <RandomFactor_> Dammit, i can't friend myself.
[02:34:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, hows about a "why are you here" poll. 1) Buck Feta 2) The conversation 3) To troll my black little heart out 4) Because my parents were randy sods
[02:34:38] <Bytram> new poll is up... go live at noon UTC on 2019-04-02
[02:34:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> 5) All of the above
[02:35:29] <Bytram> 6) because I'm not all there!
[02:35:42] <Bytram> ;)
[02:36:03] <RandomFactor_> 7) We need to talk about the ducks
[02:36:25] <Bytram> RandomFactor: s/ducks/birds and the bees/
[02:36:39] <Bytram> RandomFactor_: s/ducks/birds and the bees/
[02:36:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> i like this poll. it speaks to the voices in my head.
[02:37:10] <Bytram> is okay unless they start to speak back
[02:37:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> they been doing that for a long time now. mostly they just say "you should go fishing" though.
[02:37:46] <chromas> What if they try to sell me stuff?
[02:37:51] <RandomFactor_> It's better since i got them smartphones, they hardly bother me anymore
[02:38:00] <Bytram> smart!
[02:38:28] <Bytram> But, wait until they just "phone it in"!
[02:38:30] <Bytram> ;)
[02:39:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, hey, look, bedtime! i go forth to yet again to glorious victory over consciousness!

[15:07:22] <Bytram> yes, it should be.

[18:56:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, that violates the basic tenet of getting rich: buy low, sell high.
[19:01:25] <FatPhil> What I don't understand is how you can file for bankruptcy, and still own a $3M mansion.
[19:02:06] <FatPhil> did all his creditors say "we'll never shift that, don't pay us off with it"?
[19:02:45] <FatPhil> It was on the market since 2007, he was initially asking $4.99M
[19:03:18] <FatPhil> Next album will be released under the name "29 Cent"
[19:03:46] <FatPhil> The funny thing is that he bought the mansion from Mike Tyson who had also filed for bankruptcy.

[21:01:45] <FatPhil> Woh, Estonia, being the most advanced e-Voting country in the world, is now considering implementing more direct democracy.
[21:02:25] <FatPhil> It's still at very early stages, so not coherent enough for a story submission yet, but worth keeping an eye on.
[21:02:32] <chromas> They should have all citizens vote on whether they should have more direct democracy
[21:03:14] <FatPhil> The nice thing is that all the tiblas in Lasnagorsk aren't tech-savvy, so they'll auto-dienfranchise themselves.
[21:04:01] <FatPhil> changing the political organisational structure would require a >60% vote in parliament, but I like your little joke!
[21:06:33] <FatPhil> I lied! One way of changing the constitution is indeed a popular vote!
[21:07:12] <chromas> Is there a blockchain involved, though?
[21:07:40] <FatPhil> Nope, I said "advanced", not "[redacted]"
[21:08:05] <FatPhil> stop being such a [redact]!
[21:09:35] <FatPhil> 3 ways - popular vote; 2 60% votes from consecutive parliaments; 1 80% vote from parliament.
[21:09:49] <Sulla> Good, another election for the US and Russia to meddle with
[21:10:46] <FatPhil> I call Lasnamae "Lasnagorsk" for self-explanatory reasons.
[21:11:28] <chromas> Mmm, lasagna
[21:11:50] <FatPhil> Are you taking the pasta?
[21:13:38] <chromas> pasta lavitra
[21:13:58] <FatPhil> We did reduce the Russian influence by not giving voting rights to those who never gained Estonian citizenship because they either didn't want to, or weren't able to, pass an Estonian language exam.
[21:14:25] <chromas> Sounds pretty bigoted
[21:14:28] <FatPhil> Something like 20% of the population are non-citizens.
[21:14:46] <FatPhil> It has attracted some international criticism.
[21:14:53] <FatPhil> From places like Russia, for example.
[21:15:26] <FatPhil> Erm, you sent them here to inefficiently run the kolkhozes, feel free to take them back.
[21:16:30] <FatPhil> Oh, can we have the tens of thousands of Estonians that you shipped out back?
[21:16:37] <FatPhil> What do you mean they all accidentally died?
[21:17:43] <Sulla> I don't really accept the argument that in the US you could restrict voting by language
[21:17:51] <Sulla> but for an established old world country it seems kind of logical
[21:18:21] <FatPhil> "established" - we wish. This is the longest period of independence we've ever had!
[21:20:02] <Sulla> After centuries of successive rule by Germans, Danes, Swedes, Poles and Russians, a distinct Estonian national identity began to emerge in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This culminated in independence from Russia in 1920 after a brief War of Independence at the end of World War I. Initially democratic, after the Great Depression Estonia was governed by authoritarian rule since 1934 during the Era of Silence. During World War II (1939–1945), Estonia wa

[21:23:28] <Sulla> ARE YOU PAYING YOUR 2%?!
[21:24:07] <Sulla> Feels kind of dangerous having Nato on Russia's border
[21:24:38] <chromas> Danger zone!
[21:24:51] <FatPhil> Probably not, as we're still "up and coming" economically. However, we're moving forwards at a faster rate than anyone else, so soon we'll be a net doner.

[21:25:56] <FatPhil> "both sides"?
[21:27:12] <Sulla> Well, I am certain the US is doing as much as Russia is
[21:27:28] <Sulla> I imagine the Germans might too if they didn't already have you in their Reich
[21:28:05] <Sulla> Are you safer because of Nato or the EU?
[21:29:00] <FatPhil> Not really, we're a small enough country (1.3M) that everyone knows everyone, and why they're saying what they're saying. Corruption is very low.
[21:29:27] <FatPhil> Safer economically because of EU, safer defensively because of NATO!
[21:29:34] <FatPhil> nice comfy fence here.
[21:30:02] <Sulla> Had to look you up on the wiki. Pretty good score when it comes to corruption
[21:30:55] <FatPhil> yeah, not bad considering we were soviet only 28 years ago!
[21:31:49] <FatPhil> It was a total reinvention. We modelled a lot on Finland.

[21:33:11] <Sulla> tell me about this "Mulgipuder, a national dish of Estonia made with potatoes, groats, and meat"
[21:33:46] <FatPhil> greasy meaty porridge - I don't think I've ever had it here in Estonia.
[21:34:24] <FatPhil> Had the .fi equivalent though - delicious at a 24 hour foodery after too much drinking.
[21:34:52] <Sulla> havent eaten today. pictures of head cheese under estonian cusine
[21:34:57] <Sulla> super hungry now
[21:36:46] <FatPhil> *really* good headcheese here.
[21:38:09] <FatPhil> oh, yeah, that photo!
[21:38:33] <FatPhil> that reminds me, I must go to the market tomorrow and stock up on meaty things
[21:39:45] <FatPhil> (for salamis, you generally want Lithuanian more, just sayin')
[21:40:02] <Sulla> Well regardless of how much I want authentic stuff thats not an option
[21:44:15] <FatPhil> which state are you in?
[21:45:16] <FatPhil> there are plenty of very good condimented meat traditions in europe, which means that there are plenty of places in the US where you can get the good stuff.

[21:51:05] <FatPhil> Ah, I'd stick to local beef jerky in that case, it's probably better than any we can get here.

[22:01:01] <FatPhil> Never had any in the first place!
[22:01:29] <FatPhil> However, we were one of the most important ore locations though.

[22:02:55] <FatPhil> Beautiful town, and they have an excellent brewery - Estonia's first brewery, it registered literally days after independence, as it was already a running facility that thought it would stay in business after the disruption.
[22:03:51] <FatPhil> Used to be a closed town, you could only get in or out if you were directly something to do with the ore processing.

[22:07:10] <Sulla> love that picture
[22:07:28] <Sulla> When I saw it I was confused because it looks exactly like a picture I took here of a river in Oregon
[22:07:58] <FatPhil> Oooh, yeah, lovely long exposure
[22:12:10] <FatPhil> I've been hoping to take some long-exposure river photos here, but all of the streams are running dry. Even the biggest waterfall in the counrty wasn't even dripping when I went there (same trip as to Sillamae)

[22:18:37] <Sulla> Weird. Whats the cause?
[22:19:28] <FatPhil> there's a limestone aquifer that runs below the swamp
[22:20:24] <Sulla> For the dry rivers*
[22:20:36] <chromas> The swamp's being drained
[22:21:22] <FatPhil> everyone in the swamp is being drowned - that's different!
[22:21:33] <chromas> They must be all witches then
[22:22:30] <FatPhil> Plenty of witches here. We even named our company "White Witch" (albeit in Latin) when we moved here.
[22:23:41] <FatPhil> it's a relatively pagan country still, the Germans, Danes, Swedes, and Orthodox Russians never managed to convert it.
[22:25:05] <Sulla> thats nice though, holding on to the old culture
[22:29:56] <FatPhil> I have 2 bottles of traditional island farmhouse beer in my fridge, nothing like it is made anywhere else in the world!

[22:31:22] <RandomFactor> Just looking for a pithy "you've been pwned' in Italian
[22:31:31] <RandomFactor> or some such statement
[22:37:56] <FatPhil> google translate's pretty poor, but if you come up with something funny enough on the left hand side there's a chance the right hand side will at least bemuse the target.
[22:38:15] <RandomFactor> maybe... fidati del governo
[22:38:21] <RandomFactor> 'trust the government'
[22:38:53] <RandomFactor> also i think my department is going to get me branded a racist, i need a better one "that'sa spice-y mala-ware"
[22:41:01] <RandomFactor> Why does it take longer to come up with a closing statement than to write the whole thing up?
[22:42:02] <FatPhil> because you didn't write down the fleeting ideas that you had while you were writing it up.
[22:42:47] <FatPhil> always write down your moments of inspiration
[22:43:11] <FatPhil> another one - sleep on it, it's amazing what the mind can brew overnight.
[22:44:06] <Sulla> I typically keep a notepad in my truck so I can pull over and write stuff down
