[09:13:22] <FatPhil> another one of the local restuarants has now closed, so we're hunting out a new fallback for our preferred one. We think we've found one, but its googoo translations are worrying: the burger's described as "marinated foot marinated on site" and for the vegetarians there's "a refreshing oak burger"!

[10:33:31] <FatPhil> Thought for the day:
[10:34:07] <FatPhil> How would hairstyles differ if our ears ran, and we sneezed from our ears, in the same way we do from our noses.
[10:34:57] <FatPhil> No responses are needed, I just wanted to make you think about it, because my g/f made me think about it.
[11:04:15] <Ingar> if my grandma had wheels, she would be a cart

[11:07:26] <Ingar> and now, lunchtime :)
[11:12:12] <FatPhil> Are you confusing Grand Am with Grandma?
[11:53:19] <Ingar> it's a local expression "if bullshit, then bullshit" :)

[14:27:50] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: So, you could say it's not the apple of your aye!
[14:31:14] <Bytram> afk biab
[14:36:33] <FatPhil> It's probably underpowered. He needs a flasher mac.
[14:41:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's not that the Mac is underpowered (though it definitely is).
[14:42:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's that I have an illogical hatred for the ways that MacOS does things.
[14:42:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> (Knowing that it is illogical does not help me get over it.)
[14:42:27] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd++ You have good company in that regard
[14:42:27] <Bender> karma - andytheabsurd: 44
[14:42:38] <Bytram> It *is* logical, IMNSHO
[14:42:57] <Bytram> if you want to do things "the apple way", it's great.
[14:43:43] <Bytram> If there is a desire to "turn the knobs", there is not a lot of room for customization (at least compared to my experience with other desktop OSs)
[14:51:21] <chromas> Well the good news is you can get a lot of those ways on linux too :D
[14:51:38] <chromas> Like the 'global menu'
[15:12:52] <Bytram> So I get to choose which globe I'd like to be on? Kewel!

[17:58:47] <chromas> But we could work to replace Bender with our own bots :)
[17:59:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't. bender works.

[18:01:25] <chromas> Just add some rss action and karma and Bender's obsolete
[18:01:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit no. i ain't codin no perl6 again even if it means the planet gets hit with an asteroid or reality tv stars camp out on my lawn.
[18:01:55] <chromas> But they renamed it so it's okay now
[18:02:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, he does tiwtter as well, possibly facebutt. nobody's ever really found out how we get stuff up on facebutt.
[18:03:57] <chromas> Just install a cron script to twat from the rss feed
[18:04:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> and since it'd involve having to touch both python stuff and facebutt stuff, i never will
[18:04:34] <chromas> or actually, a script to post, then a systemd service to start it and a systemd timer to start the service because that's how systemd rolls
[18:05:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> feel free to write something that's stable enough to replace him though. i know i sure don't wanna have to dig into his nonsense.
[18:09:21] <chromas> No need to dig into Bender just to add his features. I guess you'd have to dig out the credentials though
