[14:28:57] <Bytram> c0lo: Ahh, that one. Yes. Tells me we are prolly not going to know anything concrete until after midnight EST at the very earliest. Likely still unsure through the better part of Wednesday, too. And with court challenges (and history shows Trump won't hesitate to sue), it could well be much longer until things are determined.

[15:34:17] <janrinok> When last I looked at the wiki link it was loading a 'under editing', so didn't provide anything for us to use.
[15:34:21] <Bytram> what I see is a quote from wikipedia and a link to youtube. would prefer to have something else, too. otherwise we'd be quoting everyone's pet story. Need something else. Just think if WP and YT were all that was needed, what kind of oet subject would be submitted?
[15:35:07] <c0lo> When I submitted it it was BreakingNews, @janrinok. Like, 30mins fresh out of the oven.
[15:35:48] <c0lo> What do you expect? Be reported as widely as the unexpected death of Trump or what? (grin)
[15:36:51] <Bytram> FYI Breaking News is generally saved for something you'd interrupt a Board Meeting. Not just for something that *just* happened.
[15:37:11] <janrinok> I'm not arguing about it - it probably was. But when I last looked it was only providing a YT link , and I haven't looked at it since. We tend to keep Breaking News for things of national or international importance - we cannot maintain a story cadence to output Breaking News in a timely fashion
[15:38:44] <Bytram> Breaking: Just two minutes ago, NYT announced Pete's Pizza has resumed business after closing for a family illness.
[15:39:41] <Bytram> It may be really good pizza, and it was really really recent, but... meh.
[15:39:43] <janrinok> As Bytram pointed out, we have a different display with more information than the community sees. Once we have looked at a story and made our individual assessment we often don't revisit that submission again. If I saw a WP link saying it was unavailable I probably wouldn't keep going back to check if they had fixed it
[15:40:33] * Bytram just noticed the time.
[15:40:48] <Bytram> gtg. back in a few hours.
[15:40:49] <janrinok> time for you to eat or sleep?
[15:41:22] <Bytram> yes to both(!), but actually meeting with some friends
[15:41:41] <c0lo> Yeah, whateves, mates.
[15:41:45] <janrinok> well I don't mind you eating with them, but sleeping.....?
[15:42:12] <Bytram> janrinok: great to see you here! Hope your day goes well and you can rest up!
[15:42:32] <janrinok> lol - like I have much chance of resting ;) !
[15:47:23] <janrinok> c0lo - I only manage to post one or two stories per week nowadays, and I tend to prefer the hard science stories. Nothing wrong with your submission but it is not something that I personally find interesting. That is why stories stay in the sub queue until the majority of active editors has had a chance to look at them.
[15:48:46] <janrinok> Another editor might find it exactly what they are looking for to place between two heavyweight or difficult to digest stories.
[15:50:05] <c0lo> If the stories must pass the "editors find to be on their personal tastes, diversity be damned", I'll post them exclusively in my journal. Until I'll go bored about, that is.
[15:50:26] <Bytram> c0lo: btw, did you see my reply to your comment? https://soylentnews.org
[15:50:27] <systemd> ^ 03SoylentNews Comments | Catching up with Things at SoylentNews -- Site Summary ( https://soylentnews.org )
[15:51:00] <c0lo> Yes.
[15:51:25] <c0lo> You dug one story that got lost, seeing it in the queue.
[15:52:14] <janrinok> I'm not saying that - but we all have different tastes and expertise. If I have the opportunity to process a handful of stories then I will vary them by topic, submitter and appeal to different interest groups.
[15:53:21] <c0lo> "I'm not saying that" ... bit you just said it .
[15:53:29] <c0lo> > "Nothing wrong with your submission but it is not something that I personally find interesting."
[15:54:05] <c0lo> > "That is why stories stay in the sub queue until the majority of active editors has had a chance to look at them."
[15:54:21] <janrinok> But that story - as I first saw it - required significantly more effort than I had time to spend here. I chose a story that I wanted to work on and that fit the spread of stories that had been published when I was posting
[15:54:33] <Bytram> yes, good. also, especially this time of year, I try to avoid outright political stories or ones that seem to push an agenda. I'll admit to misreading things at times, but I try to keep away from politic or personal agendas, etc.
[15:55:25] <janrinok> Today I have got time to spend here because the doctor has decreed that I am not supposed to be doing some of the things that I normally have to do in my personal life.
[15:55:56] <c0lo> ++. Two editors that admit their personal preferences is what matter to get the story published.
[15:56:04] <janrinok> (plus we have just gone into full lockdown since last Thursday!
[15:56:51] <Bytram> I see a story, I like it, I push it out. I see another story. Don't like it. Generally leave it for the others to look at. If I think it's not a good fit for the site, I'll add a note stating same -- but still leave the story up for other editors to consider and weigh in.
[15:56:59] <c0lo> (and the lockdowb is relevant how? I've been in a strict lockdown since August)
[15:57:37] <Bytram> I am so sorry, but I *really* gtg. I am running late as it is.
[15:58:01] <janrinok> I stood down because I have to look after my wife - her normal appts are now on hold as it is unsafe for her to travel. To me that is very relevant. If you want to help, please join us on the staff.
[15:58:13] <c0lo> One on top of the other, the soylenters propose, the ditors dispose, yes.
[15:58:38] <c0lo> @janrinok - ah, got it.
[15:59:40] <Bytram> yes lockdown is important, but we also need to not carry every covid story that comes in, either. trying to fnd a balance. sometimes we do well, sometimes we make a mistake. We don't have all day and all of our free time to give here, as much as we'd like to. I can't tell you how many stories I've processed on my phone on my lunch break or at 10 PM!
[15:59:52] <c0lo> janrinok - all the best, mate, take care.

[16:01:52] <c0lo> @bytram - look, I can't take editing or admining, because I admit I can't guarantee reliability - and I prefer to not do at all something that I can't do well.
[16:03:00] <janrinok> a couple of stories each week at a time of your choosing would ease the burden on those that can do more. Honestly, anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
[16:03:20] <janrinok> But I understand your position.
[16:03:24] <c0lo> But there are solutions to that, if only you could agree to delegate part of what stories are selected to soylenters - let us mod submissions too, no comments until publishing.
[16:04:15] <janrinok> Reread Bytrams piece - no software changes until TMB is back in the saddle with time to spare.
[16:04:50] <janrinok> we are not short of ideas - we are short of people the change the ideas into actions.
[16:05:15] <c0lo> Is that a promise that, once TMB is back in saddle, we discuss the submission moding?
[16:05:44] <janrinok> we can always discuss it - but nothing can get changed until we are in a position to change it.
[16:07:11] <c0lo> Last time I opened the topic, you shut it down. That's why I'm asking now if you had a change of heart and maybe it can be approached.
[16:07:28] <c0lo> Otherwise, it'd be just wasted time.
[16:08:16] <janrinok> I don't think I personally shut it down? I am not yet convinced of the argument but that doesn't me there isn't an argument to be had.
[16:08:48] <c0lo> Ok, maybe I misunderstood you.
[16:09:08] <c0lo> We'll live to see into it. I hope.

[20:06:41] <boru> Standoffs support the PCB where the most flexion occurs.

[20:08:46] <chromas> They're making it difficult for me to do my 1337 hax0r open air 'case'
[20:31:44] <halibut> So you cannot accidentally install the power supply upside down? They aren't symmetric with a 180-degree rotation, are they?
[20:32:42] <halibut> I suppose orientation might be important for intended airflow in a case, but I cannot resist making some comment that if the power supply were upside down, the + charges would float to the top where the - charges are supposed to be, and the computer would run backwards.

[22:54:44] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: if he's showing it can be done, and then telling bare-faced lies about what he's doing, he's not a good person, he's a lying fuck.
[22:55:51] <AzumaHazuki> i didn't even know he was attempting any records, just that he was 1) a vegan and 2) a bodybuilder
[22:56:05] <AzumaHazuki> why in the unholy fuck does this get so many men triggered omg
[22:56:47] <AzumaHazuki> cow's milk has more and more bio-active estrogen in it than soy products do FFS
[23:00:19] <c0lo> Ah, yes, the big race today.

[23:03:34] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: US cows milk I would view as a biotoxin. here in (most of) europe, it's very different.
[23:04:25] <AzumaHazuki> the most i ever use milk for is in coffee or tea. otherwise it's cheese or ferments (yogurt, kefir) all the way
[23:06:29] <c0lo> Noice. Next step - use beef hearths in your coffee or tea, the hormones may be less concentrated.
[23:06:40] <c0lo> (grin)
[23:07:56] <AzumaHazuki> the heart is red meat but i got it because 1) cheap for meat ($3/lb) and 2) CoQ10
[23:08:04] <c0lo> Probs the healthiest source of protein around would be mushrooms.
[23:08:06] <AzumaHazuki> that and iron. i've been feeling weak
[23:11:57] <c0lo> How are your B's? Weakness may come from nerves too.
[23:13:55] <AzumaHazuki> i take a B complex daily
[23:14:17] <AzumaHazuki> this may be iron-deficiency anaemia, some other deficiency i don't know about, or just plain overstress
[23:15:54] <c0lo> What's the price for liver 'round there? Like, lamb fry (sheep stock is usually not fed hormones).

[23:23:40] -!- dx3bydt3 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:24:44] <AzumaHazuki> it's about the same. there's way too much cholesterol in liver and kidney though

[23:26:33] <c0lo> But as a source of iron, it net superior to muscle.
[23:27:43] <c0lo> Don't need to have it on daily basis, if after 2-3 serves you still feel weak, then it's not iron deficiency.
[23:29:33] <c0lo> Magnesium deficiency may also cause weakness. Easy (and pleasurable) to fix with dark chocolate. Pumpkin seeds are a better source if you can find them.
[23:30:58] <AzumaHazuki> i just take 500mg MgO daily
[23:31:19] <AzumaHazuki> it turns out the oxide is bioavailable, which really surprised me
[23:38:52] <c0lo> Hmmm... dietary allowance (WTF is dietary allowance? Is it any different from need?)...
[23:39:22] <c0lo> Anywho, looks like 350mg og Mg is arequired for women.

[23:39:48] <systemd> ^ 03Magnesium-Rich Food Information
[23:41:59] <c0lo> So, you get 300mg of Mg from the oxide. Shouldn't be a problem (if you don't piss it excesivelly).
[23:43:06] <c0lo> Thyroid function seem all right?
[23:45:57] <AzumaHazuki> no idea...when benefits kick in in january i'll get it tested
[23:46:16] <AzumaHazuki> i suspect it may be a bit slow but my weight is excellent for my height (128lb at 5'10") so that's likely not it
[23:51:29] <AzumaHazuki> ...i bet like 3 pounds of that is hair lol
[23:53:03] * FatPhil laughs at your pitiful 3lbs! muaahhahah
[23:54:25] <AzumaHazuki> i haven't got it actually cut (as in, tried to shorten it much) in like 25 years, just get it cleaned up now and then
[23:54:51] <FatPhil> At the taqueria at lunch today I made a silly joke to my g/f about the owner being a bit odd having a horribly 60s Sonny Bono haircut. She responded immediately to ask me why I was sporting a 1960s Cher haircut.
