[03:55:15] <FatPhil> Let's hope it's something real and terrible, and not just a blip, as I just shorted rather too much for a fuzzy-eyed 6am visit to my account.
[03:59:13] <FatPhil> Just had to get up to turn the municipal water supply in the basement. Something went wrong, but I know shit about it, my job was just "turn the rightmost lever". And we don't have any water presently, so it's proper wrong.
[04:01:00] <chromas> Did you turn it the right way or the wrong way like they do in the movies?
[04:01:27] <chromas> Or
[04:01:34] <chromas> Have you tried turning it off and on again?
[04:05:05] <FatPhil> Actually I did!
[04:06:32] <FatPhil> I had to do this a month ago too, and as soon as I opened the valve there was a huge rush of pressure. I wondered if the water company had confused "05:30 summer time" with "05:30 winter time", and closed the valve to wait for 06:30. And then opened it again. Nothing.
[04:08:43] <FatPhil> Shit, just had a sugary acidic drink, and want to brush my teeth before going back to bed. Noone should be awake at this hour.

[08:02:28] <FatPhil> jeebus. at home I don't have any water, and at the office, I have too much - boiler seems to have sprung a leak :(((
[08:02:58] <boru> Water is migratory at this time of year. Now you know where all of your house water is gone.
[08:03:28] <boru> Nevertheless, want me to walk you through other sources of water, city boy?
[08:03:54] <boru> You could make a ground still, or an actual still.
[08:04:30] <FatPhil> what's "ground"?
[08:05:01] <FatPhil> I have UNESCO-protected cobbles, you can't even get blood out of those, let alone water.
[08:05:16] <boru> Dig a wide hole in some soil, put a container in the middle of it, cover it with plastic and put a rock or something heavy in the middle.
[08:05:25] <FatPhil> what's "soil"?
[08:05:36] <boru> Might want to boil it off afterwards though, in case you're near any soak pits.
[08:06:37] <boru> Ah, you're really in an urban environment, then?
[08:07:06] <FatPhil> Slap bang in the middle of a capital city.
[08:08:06] <FatPhil> Hopefully getting a professional out shouldn't involve too much of a delay, unless all the local amateurs are breaking things whilst doing improvements.
[08:08:32] <boru> Got any rain gutters you can put a container under?
[08:08:54] <boru> Looks like Esti might get some precipitation today.
[08:09:12] <FatPhil> A water butt would be a solution, yes
[08:09:22] <boru> Aye.
[08:10:29] <FatPhil> I think the honeymoon period for the house is over, things are starting to fail in bigger and bigger ways.
[08:11:59] <FatPhil> And we're pretty sure it was a right fricken' bodger who renovated this flat, so were bracing for god-knows-what eventually.

[13:28:41] <boru> That's pretty neat.
[13:30:42] <boru> I see that moronic comments are in first, again. Is that a bot, or some such? Moronposting just minutes after the story is published.
[13:32:21] <janrinok> It's Ari - if he can't twist it to blame the alt-right he will shit-post
[13:47:00] <boru> A user/post filter sure would be useful.
[13:49:15] <cmn32480> I beleive if you make him an enemy, it will collapse his posts.
[13:49:21] <janrinok> ah, but then we would get accused of censorship and infringing his philosopher's inalienable rights or something
[13:50:27] <janrinok> He is a dick - but he is our dick!
[13:50:53] <FatPhil> Not gonna let Ari dominate that story, so I did what I had to do.
[13:51:01] <janrinok> lol
[13:51:52] <FatPhil> As long as you only read the title of my post, not the contents, it's actually a sensible post. But I hate posts with no body text.
[13:52:47] <boru> Making them a 'foe' didn't work.
[13:53:32] <cmn32480> then I'm wrong. Not even the first time today
[13:54:14] <janrinok> It doesn't on the first story I believe

[14:16:56] <boru> FFS, you would think a web domain called 'secure' would support TLS.
[15:23:32] <FatPhil> Total Luser Security
[15:25:43] <boru> Also, there seems to be a recent trend of websites blacklisting proxies.
[15:38:21] <Bytram> boru: After flagging a nick as a foe, one then needs to go further down the preferences page where you can set a modifier for their posts, anywhere from -6 modifier (which turns even a +5-rated comment down to -1 which is the lowest allowed) to a +6 modifier (which turns even a -1-rated comment to a +5)...
[15:39:19] <Bytram> AND THEN, adjust your Threshold/Breakthrough to filter out comments to a higher value
[15:39:34] <FatPhil> +6 FTW!
[15:40:30] <Bytram> NB: As I try to keep an eye on mod abuse, I view stories at: -1/-1 and let *everything* through (very not pretty at times)
[15:40:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> At the newspaper I work for, we're going to two days a week of print and furloughing workers (including in IT).
[15:40:57] <Bytram> oi
[15:41:15] <Bytram> I hope you are not affected too bad (if at all!)
[15:41:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> Who in IT is getting furloughed is getting announced this afternoon; I expect we'll have an article up on our website about it tonight.
[15:41:51] <Bytram> Please accept my sincere and genuine best wishes!
[15:42:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> thanks!
[15:42:44] <Bytram> Hopefully there will be some kind of financial help? Or will it be: kick to curb and file for unemployment? Prolly to early to know, but whatever happens.. best of luck!
[15:43:23] <FatPhil> Shoulda got a job at Boeing, then you'd be bailed out by the billions!
[15:43:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> They've deliberately structured the furlough time to be long enough that furloughed employees will be eligible for unemployment.
[15:43:32] <FatPhil> (sorry for my shitty humour)
[15:43:52] <Soybull> Bytram - unemployment is supposed to be an additional $600 on top of state benefits
[15:44:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> FatPhil: No Boeing facilities around here, though - I'd have to go with Lockheed Martin, which does have a local office.
[15:44:25] <Soybull> no waiting week, no job search, none of the hoops that the states normally impose
