[02:32:49] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[02:32:49] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[02:34:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, the fda signed off on using malaria meds for corona
[02:35:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> limited a bit but still
[02:35:36] <AzumaHazuki> hydroxychloroquine modulates the immune system and is used for rheumatoid arthritis as well as malaria. The investigationa monoclonal antibody drug i hear about is an interleukin-6 antagonist given to people with horrible, severe arthritis
[02:35:40] <AzumaHazuki> little kids barely get sick
[02:35:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://www.cnn.com
[02:35:48] <exec> └─ 13Coronavirus live updates: Cases top 723,000 globally - CNN
[02:35:52] <AzumaHazuki> something about this means the immune response is causing some of the damage here
[02:35:55] <systemd> ^ 03Coronavirus live updates: Cases top 723,000 globally - CNN
[02:36:46] <AzumaHazuki> i don't know if it's a cytokine storm as we understand it, but all this points to something about the robust adult immune response being partly responsible for the damage
[02:37:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that's about the best way to ruin a human body, get it to do the job itself
[02:37:40] * AzumaHazuki saw her first script for what looks like a covid-19 infection for hydroxychloroquine today
[02:38:09] <AzumaHazuki> 400mg BID on day one, then 200mg BID for 4 more days. exactly as in the investigational monograph i read
[02:38:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> that was quick, they just authorized it
[02:38:38] <AzumaHazuki> notably, 800mg is the maximum for this stuff. it is a serious drug with serious side effects, including QT prolongation
[02:38:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> not like this evening but just today
[02:38:52] <AzumaHazuki> yyyyyup
[02:39:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, good on the docs but why the hell are they authorizing it for folks what ain't hospitalized?
[02:39:22] <AzumaHazuki> i've seen people throwing around the idea of taking this with a z-pak (azithromycin)
[02:41:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> well yeah, i've seen folks talking about putting copper powder in their hand sanitizer though, so it ain't a high bar
[02:41:56] <AzumaHazuki> if the z-pak helps, it's because azithromycin is the standard of care for outpatient pneumonia treatment. so it's squelching incipient bacterial pneumonia secondary to the virus
[02:42:20] <AzumaHazuki> my guess is that bacterial pneumonia is coming on in some patients due to the virus occupying...or modifying...their normal immune response
[02:42:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> whoever wrote that scrip is risking their license or at least their pad. it's only authorized for hospitalized patients.
[02:42:41] <AzumaHazuki> yyyyyyyup
[02:42:57] <AzumaHazuki> oh, it gets better. some doctor here wrote himself 400 200mg tablets of the stuff last week
[02:43:21] <AzumaHazuki> when a course of therapy is what, 12 tabs?
[02:43:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> because, you know, it's bloody stupid to take experimental medicine for something that isn't doing anything worth staying in the hospital for.
[02:44:25] * AzumaHazuki hopes her C/D/zinc regimen works for her because hurr hurr no insurance no money no doc visits no meds
[02:44:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> just goes to show, education just ain't connected in any way with wisdom.
[02:45:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're young. you've got a 99.75% chance of pulling through.
[02:45:53] <AzumaHazuki> i am angry to the point of cold, unclinking homicide right now at our politicians, especially the fed.gov. As in "would watch Trump set on fire flailing and shrieking and howling for Jesus without batting an eye"
[02:45:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> 90% chance of not even needing to see a doctor
[02:46:21] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Professional Ventilator Design "Open Sourced" Today by Medtronic - https://sylnt.us - DIY
[02:46:23] <AzumaHazuki> that sack of shit outright said people who don't kiss the ring won't get supplies
[02:46:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> in what sense?
[02:46:45] <AzumaHazuki> god damn him, his entire administration, every single republican, and a good chunk of the democrats
[02:46:56] <AzumaHazuki> "if they don't treat you well, don't talk to them"
[02:47:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause if it was in the using the supplies responsibly sense, that's legit
[02:47:19] <AzumaHazuki> no, it was not
[02:47:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'why i asked
[02:47:58] <AzumaHazuki> i am so done with this whole thing.
[02:48:23] <AzumaHazuki> may every single greedy worthless shitbag who let it get to this die horribly and burn in Hellfire
[02:48:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> sweating it will drive you nuts anyhow. take reasonable precautions and binge anime instead of thinking about it.
[02:49:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh it was gonna get to this no matter what
[02:49:05] <AzumaHazuki> not an anime fan, ugh. there's almost nothing good out there
[02:49:25] <AzumaHazuki> i may rewatch Marimite or Aria for the "this is basically legal weed" aspect...
[02:49:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> underdog had substance abuse issues as well
[02:51:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> seriously though, don't let the 24/7 news cartel fuck up your serenity to suit their advertising needs.
[02:52:15] <AzumaHazuki> it's not the news, damn it. it's the government willfully mishandling this
[02:52:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> which you know about from the news
[02:52:35] <AzumaHazuki> i have no doubt a bunch of people in power are going "fuck NYC, bunch queers and liberals, let them all die"
[02:52:56] <chromas> That doc's probably selling the pills on the street. Call in a tip to your local PD
[02:53:14] <AzumaHazuki> oh, we didn't get that one
[02:53:24] <AzumaHazuki> that was in philly i think?
[02:53:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, nyc is wanting like ALL of the ventilators and PPE and saying they'll give what they don't use back. they're being shitstains.
[02:53:45] <AzumaHazuki> NYC is the epicenter of the outbreak now, though detroit is posed to overtake it
[02:54:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> right but that don't mean you send all available supplies there. you keep some back for the outbreak that happens while nyc still needs them.
[02:55:01] <AzumaHazuki> orrrrrrrrr we ramp production up
[02:55:11] <chromas> We can't do both?
[02:55:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> newp. not or.
[02:55:23] <AzumaHazuki> or, not xor
[02:55:34] <AzumaHazuki> english has a bad habit of mapping semantic or to logical xor
[02:55:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> ole CJ chewed GM ass today about dragging it
[02:56:24] <chromas> Did he follow the damn train?
[02:56:28] <AzumaHazuki> in any case, whatever happens, if i survive and am able i'm still getting the fuck out of here for canada. i am disgusted to the depths of my soul with this country's government and don't see it getting any better. ever.
[02:56:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> they was all like "we can produce 10k ventilators a month" and he was like "bitch, say what? i can make that many in the whitehouse garage"
[02:57:04] <AzumaHazuki> this is assuming i don't die around the solstice, as I'm getting nothng but blank white on any attempt to try and read probability after then
[02:57:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly means snow
[02:57:40] <AzumaHazuki> it either means the ends of the timeline are completely unanchored and no predictions can be made, or i die and no predictions can be made
[02:58:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> well let's hope for the former then. i'd miss winding you up about shit.
[02:58:32] <chromas> It's the first one. You're catching up to the erase head
[02:58:56] <AzumaHazuki> you'll die laughing, Uzzard. we're getting along civilly enough, but you aren't human and you're going to get yours one way or another
[02:59:11] <AzumaHazuki> i haven't forgotten that. to me, you are essentially a wetware Markov bot
[02:59:29] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[02:59:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> i amuse me, that's all that matters
[02:59:50] <AzumaHazuki> i know
[03:00:09] <AzumaHazuki> and that one will be carved into your soul with a red-hot ice pick when the time comes...
[03:01:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> awe, come on, don't spare my feelings. i'm a big boy, i can hear what you really think.
[03:03:00] <Bytram> =g "take o"mikssgbt]
[03:03:01] <systemd> [0 results]
[03:03:32] <AzumaHazuki> it's very simple: you deliberately denied your humanity. there will be a reckoning.
[03:03:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> that ain't a valid regex, keep tryin
[03:05:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, sweden ain't closing shit. schools, travel, nonessential businesses, nada.
[03:05:22] <AzumaHazuki> idiots
[03:06:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, they got that socialized medicine everyone keeps telling me is so much more awesome.
[03:08:16] <AzumaHazuki> it is, but overwhelming the system is dumb
[03:08:23] <AzumaHazuki> nice strawman though :D
[03:08:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> seriously though, if they have the supplies and facilities, that's the approach they should take. otherwise, they gonna feel kinda dumb.
[03:09:00] <AzumaHazuki> humanity as a whole is too stupid to live, IMO
[03:09:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly. i mean that's a given if we can't start creating other universes as this one dies.
[03:10:29] <pinchy> muh civilization cycles
[03:10:50] <AzumaHazuki> i've had it with the human race. no more reincarnation for me
[03:11:25] <pinchy> not enuf courage to kablamo in the head?
[03:11:35] <AzumaHazuki> oh, i have a suicide method
[03:11:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> sides, we ain't had us a good "kill off 2/3 of the population" plague in a while. bout time we got another one going.
[03:11:54] <pinchy> hehe get some rope. thats hard core
[03:12:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, don't come back as a catfish. just fair warning.
[03:12:19] <AzumaHazuki> 100mg of metoclopramide, followed an hour later by 100mL of tert-amyl alcohol in enough gatorade to make it drinkable plus a few dozen expired propranolol 'cause why not
[03:12:23] <pinchy> come on asteroid and/or balkanization of USSA
[03:12:32] <pinchy> i claim sweet bama
[03:12:45] <AzumaHazuki> foolproof. will take 8-12 hours and i will likely die by aspirating vomit, but i'll be unconscious the whole time
[03:13:09] <pinchy> get some nitrogen bottle
[03:13:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> serious question: why do chicks pick pills instead of guns?
[03:13:29] <AzumaHazuki> i already have these supplies and an exit hood is not workable with my finances and situation
[03:13:36] <pinchy> ive heard it works great as long as u dont vomit. so best to fast before snuffin ;)
[03:13:45] <AzumaHazuki> because we're not into gornography
[03:13:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> well you don't gotta stick around and see it
[03:14:04] <AzumaHazuki> fortunately, my method works. most "OD on pills" methods don't work
[03:14:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean that's kinda the point
[03:14:56] <AzumaHazuki> mine isn't actually a pill OD method, it's "take 10 huge doses of a dopamine D2 antagonist at once so you can't puke no matter what, then once it's active hit yourself with the equivalent of 70 drinks and a month of beta blocker"
[03:14:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> right but a 44 hollowpoint to the forehead works a treat too and it's instant instead of giving you any time to panic
[03:15:27] <pinchy> monday night suicide discussion right chere on SNews
[03:16:00] <AzumaHazuki> death holds no terror for me. i made a bargain with myself: endure what comes my way until a horrible death is on the horizon, then exit on my terms
[03:16:10] <pinchy> the wuhan virus aint nothing. ive been catching up on 911 truth. holy cow. jew jews jews!
[03:16:23] <AzumaHazuki> it will be the one truly selfish act of my entire adult life
[03:16:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's from a practicality standpoint though. i've decided if i ever do it's gonna be headbutting a running chainsaw tied around the head of a grizzly.
[03:16:45] <pinchy> so what major "problems" do you have in your life?
[03:18:00] <pinchy> <zuki> 1. TRUMP 2. TRUMP 3. TRUMP
[03:18:04] <AzumaHazuki> at the moment, nothing i can't endure. untreated c-PTSD, major depression, lack of money, survivors' guilt...
[03:18:08] <AzumaHazuki> ha ha ha, no
[03:18:52] <pinchy> were u the dude that watched a coworker get squashed in industrial rollers?
[03:19:00] <AzumaHazuki> uh, no?
[03:19:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> spotted your problem
[03:19:13] <AzumaHazuki> as long as i sleep enough the flashbacks aren't too bad, and keeping a healthy(...ish) diet and working myself senseless, it's endurable
[03:19:45] <pinchy> lack of money? hard time paying bills and food?
[03:20:09] <AzumaHazuki> for the last several months no. i have just enough, and that is a wonderful feeling
[03:20:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> trying to endure instead of overcome problems ain't no way to live. witness said wonderful feeling.
[03:21:13] <AzumaHazuki> there's very little i can do except endure. i take whatever steps are possible. i just got a perfect score on the national qualifiers for pharmacy techs, and am going to apply for inpatient in June if i don't get one hell of a raise at my current place
[03:21:31] <AzumaHazuki> that certification will make me an attractive candidate for a placement program in soviet Canuckistan
[03:21:53] <AzumaHazuki> but this is all a ways out, and got pushed way the fuck back by this goddamn virus
[03:22:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure there is. choose anger instead of despair. you're good at anger. use it to make shit happen like your current upward trend.
[03:22:11] <pinchy> so whats causing the anxiety? percentage wise? past problems or current situation?
[03:23:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> anger ain't as good as determination but it'll do until you can see further.
[03:23:42] <AzumaHazuki> i've seen too many friends suffer needlessly. some died who shoud have lived. i've spent too much time homeless. from a young age i learned that you can't trust anyone but yourself
[03:24:27] <AzumaHazuki> can you imagine a six year old having to tell herself "don't trust grownups, you have to do it yourself?"
[03:24:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> you need better acquaintances. i have tons i can trust with anything.
[03:25:00] <AzumaHazuki> hah. everyone has their price and you'd be amazed for how little your supposed friends would toss you in the meatgrinder
[03:25:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i don't count them as friends unless they'd go to jail or take a bullet for me.
[03:25:52] <AzumaHazuki> when the chips are down, you can only count on yourself. the bonds that tie people together are an illusion.
[03:26:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, they're choices
[03:26:33] <AzumaHazuki> they're a choice to believe that illusion. they're a noble lie, one we need to survive, but at the end of the day, they're at best an epiphenomenon
[03:26:34] <pinchy> 1st session is free, then TMB will have to charge
[03:26:58] <AzumaHazuki> i choose to believe it in, but i also have no false ideas about how people work
[03:27:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> they're a choice to be bound. there's no illusion.
[03:27:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> pinchy, nah, i got no prollem with charity as long as it's not compulsory.
[03:28:02] <AzumaHazuki> i trust precisely 2 people, and have contingency plans for their betrayals
[03:28:07] <AzumaHazuki> these being my mother and my girlfriend
[03:28:29] <pinchy> *cues up 'the backstabbers' song
[03:28:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, they're chicks so you gotta factor in the crazy
[03:29:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, that was some over the top nonsense to offend any militant feminists lurking
[03:29:28] <AzumaHazuki> 0/10, no effort put in
[03:29:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> true
[03:29:52] <AzumaHazuki> besides which...it's mostly men who fuck things up. especially for other men.
[03:29:53] <pinchy> jesse lee peterson would say "have you forgiven your mother and father?"
[03:29:55] * TheMightyBuzzard hangs his head in shame
[03:30:07] <pinchy> daddy issues
[03:30:25] <AzumaHazuki> father, yes. he did his best, he just sucked. can't get blood from a turnip. mom did nothing to need to ask forgiveness for
[03:30:50] <AzumaHazuki> forgiveness is for the self, not the other. it's letting go of all hope for a better past.
[03:30:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> maybe but we're a whole lot more reliable. as in you can rely on us to stick to the same quality of character you've seen for the last ten years instead of setting your car on fire for leaving the seat up.
[03:31:14] <AzumaHazuki> better the devil you know you mean? fuck that.
[03:31:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, i mean pick men who aren't shitheads to be around and they'll not be shitheads forever.
[03:32:07] <AzumaHazuki> rarer than hens' teeth. i am very glad my boss is one of them
[03:32:18] <pinchy> that pickin is a 2 way street
[03:32:34] <pinchy> what have u got to offer to this mythical awesome person?
[03:32:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> not really, i could throw a rock and hit three from my porch. course they'd get mad if i did.
[03:32:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> #nicotine++ #smoke break
[03:33:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++ #smoke break
[03:33:04] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 760
[03:35:01] <AzumaHazuki> pinchy: absolute loyalty, good cooking, a ridiculous amount of medical knowledge, near-telepathic bonding and ability to sense moods, good massages, skilled fingering and oral, light carpentry, being almost as much of a giant nerd as her, good organizational skills...
[03:35:23] <AzumaHazuki> also an almost man-strength grip for opening jars and being 5'10" so able to reach stuff
[03:40:11] <AzumaHazuki> ...so yes, i kind of am a lesbian stereotype :v
[03:49:58] <Bytram> way past bedtime for bonzo
[03:50:08] <Bytram> have a great night everybody!
[03:55:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> opening jars?! she's takin our jerbs!

[09:32:19] <drussell> I just noticed, however, that we need to add one for when you click on a speficic comment (like in your comment history)...
[09:32:46] <drussell> Yes, you can just hit [END] to get to the bottom of the page, but if there are multiple replies, taht isn't really where you want to go.
[09:34:32] <drussell> Interestingly, it seems that when you click on a specific comment number, it takes you right to that comment, already scrolling past the actual story.
[09:35:24] <drussell> If you click on one from your comment history, though, it starts at the top of the story, and there is no "Skip to comments" button on that generated page.

[15:17:39] <Bytram> drussell: if it isn't, then what is it?
[15:18:34] <Bytram> question for anybody here, is there an analog to bash's $(cmd) in Windows' cmd window?
[15:19:02] <Bytram> say, I have a bunch of filenames...
[15:19:10] <Bytram> dir /b *.bat
[15:19:53] <chromas> If anybody were to know the answer, it seems like it would be you.
[15:20:03] <Bytram> I'd like to perform some filtering on those names, (think sed and/awk/grep, and then, for each of them, perform a command...
[15:20:15] <Bytram> nice of you to say
[15:20:42] <Bytram> I s'pose I could use a gnu version of find that runs in winders
[15:21:53] <soybull> I recall doing things like that in Windows, but it's been a long time
[15:22:33] <soybull> I can probably do it in Windows Explorer - though it's kinda awkward if you're sorting a lot of files
[15:23:51] <chromas> Powershell has ()
[15:23:54] <Bytram> for example, I am working with a directory that has about 2800 .bat files... where, for a stupid/simple backup, the user would say, copy foo.bat foo.20200331_152312.bat (where the intervening numbers are the last-modified date of foo.bat)
[15:23:59] <drussell> probably in powershell instead of cmd
[15:24:26] <Bytram> I can easily get a list of all .bat files whose names are NOT backup files...

[15:25:22] <exec> └─ 13MS-DOS and Windows command line sort command
[15:25:32] <drussell> in cmd you can probably still do for %f in (*.bat) do xyz type things like you could in dos
[15:25:45] <Bytram> And, of those, about 1600 are non-backup copies.
[15:26:25] <Bytram> ala: dir/b *.bat | grep -v "[0-9]\{8\}" | wc
[15:26:36] <drussell> but probably not advanced enough for what you want
[15:26:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, try "wine cmd.exe"
[15:27:05] <chromas> for /f is supposed to do something
[15:27:33] <Bytram> and, of those non-YYYmmdd files, another 700+ are emacs backup files, foo.bat~
[15:28:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> good ole TR. he been on the phone holding up heading up to the church since 9am.
[15:28:04] <Bytram> which gets it down to about 870 files.
[15:28:26] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: RF blaster? ;)
[15:28:40] <Bytram> ala: dir/b *.bat | grep -v "[0-9]\{8\}" | grep -v "~$" | wc
[15:29:25] <chromas> Write a script that takes each batch file and renames it to the current one and commits it to a git repo to preserve history and then delete all the versions from the filesystem :)
[15:29:34] <Bytram> so, I have a nicely constructed list of files, one-per-line that I would like to perform some ad-hoc actions on
[15:29:35] <drussell> dir foo.*.bat ?
[15:29:47] <drussell> actually for has quite a few options, even in cmd
[15:29:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> heck no. it hits 10:30 and i haven't started working, i declare nap time.
[15:30:01] <Bytram> That'll learn him
[15:30:04] <drussell> do a "help for" in cmd
[15:30:18] <Bytram> There is something with backticks in FOR
[15:30:29] <soybull> Does Clippy answer when you ask for help?
[15:30:34] <Bytram> but is ... awkward.
[15:30:48] <Bytram> I'd like to be able to do something like this:
[15:30:50] <chromas> I sure hope he's not editing his batch files in Office
[15:31:07] <Bytram> grep string $( dir/b *.bat | grep -v "[0-9]\{8\}" | grep -v "~$" )
[15:31:39] <Bytram> chopchop1: s/O/Ori/
[15:31:49] <Bytram> chromas: s/O/Ori/
[15:31:57] <Bytram> chromas: s/O/Ori/
[15:31:59] <exec> <Bytram> <chromas> I sure hope he's not editing his batch files in Oriffice
[15:32:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, you needa get off teh winders. save yourself a lot of headaches in the future for a few up front.
[15:32:51] <Bytram> is what this task is all about. Trying to get a subset of batch programs (and later .awk) that will be more suitable for porting to bash
[15:32:56] <soybull> Winders is alright - it tests your level of senility when you wander into the windows
[15:33:29] * Bytram finds a packet of stickers and applies them all over the place to warn of clear surfaces

[15:34:32] <chromas> Yes I do

[15:58:59] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: I very VERY much appreciate the offer! Thing is, I'd like to... anonymize them a bit and replace my name with "martyb" which entails indentation issues in the "header" section. Once *that* is done, I'd be happy to take you up on the offer!
[16:00:11] <Bytram> Also would need to update internal version string.
[16:01:31] <chromas> You could paste them onto the staff server so only people who already have your doxx can see
[16:02:45] <Bytram> the Date/Time stamp in the file is something I kludged together as an expedient replacement (in 2009) to replace the foo.bk0, foo.bk1, foo.bk2 mechanism I'd been using since the early 1990s
[16:03:14] <Bytram> the Date/Time stamp in the filename is something I kludged together as an expedient replacement (in 2009) to replace the ad hoc foo.bk0, foo.bk1, foo.bk2 mechanism I'd been using since the early 1990s

[16:15:55] <Bytram> true
[16:16:10] <Bytram> I think
[16:16:16] <chromas> Well a basic grep /dev/null will wait on stdin
[16:16:41] <FatPhil> that's because you're grepping for '/dev/null' in stdin!
[16:16:54] <Ingar> will block forever
[16:17:11] <Ingar> mmm

[20:20:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> chromas: I suspect that Bloomberg is doing it by User-Agent detection...which is going to break when Chrome goes to their new "Browser Hints" system and drops User-Agent.
[20:23:03] <Bytram> How about setting an automatic redirection in the page that is timed to occur after some period of time, but if you loaded the javascript they want you to, it would updater the DOM and remove the redirect?
[20:23:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> I checked: default curl UA gets back an empty document, using Firefox's UA gets back actual HTML.
[20:24:56] <Bytram> heh, what happens if you give it, say, a Lynx UA?
[20:26:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> (Of course, that HTML consists mostly of links to scripts, links to stylesheets, inline stylesheets, links to fonts, and JavaScript.)
[20:26:09] * Bytram confesses that whenever he sees "UA", he is reminded of having taken many flights on United Airlines one summer.
[20:26:23] <Bytram> So, nothing of value was found?
[20:26:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> Bytram: Give me the string for a Lynx User-Agent header and I'll try it.
[20:27:57] <Bytram> I just tried a wget with a blank UA and got exactly what you described.
[20:28:14] <Bytram> though I do have a lynx browser somewhere, I have no idea of what its UA is.
[20:28:17] <Bytram> :(
[20:28:31] <Bytram> Was just the first text-only browser that came to mind, is all
