[00:06:53] <AzumaHazuki> this is making me laugh more than it should :D
[01:52:46] <raxas> somehow that suddenly reminds me of my zen teacher about 40 years ago. he said: "a woman never thinks using her head, but using opposite end of body torso."
[01:58:03] <AzumaHazuki> your zen teacher can kiss my opposite end of body torso
[01:59:33] <raxas> he was an artist, a sculptor. he knew a lot about girly bodies
[02:11:45] <progo> that turn of phrase reminds me of a geology lecture series I'm watching on Kanopy…
[02:12:03] <progo> the ocean floor is ALWAYS "ocean sea floor" (or "ocean sea-floor")
[02:12:15] <progo> it's repetitive and redundant
[02:17:54] <raxas> that phrasing was intentional. in my native language, the exact anatomy term is "trup", which my master actually used, but that translates to english as "hull", which is rudely inadequate

[13:33:46] <Teckla> What motive would someone have for wanting to get Soylent News shut down?
[13:39:18] <janrinok> some people think that the site supports one (US) political party, others think it supports the other - it doesn't support either. Perhaps community members have their own opinions but the site doesn't support either. However, we do have people in our community who think that the site should be shut down because we don't support _their_ personal favourite.
[13:43:01] <janrinok> Others want it to print anything that they submit but the rules relating to submission content are clearly explained. So they think that they are being censored or silenced. Again, it is not true but that is their perception.
[13:45:07] <Teckla> janrinok: Ah, I see. Craziness.
[13:45:35] <requerdanos> There's also some lightly salted nuttiness in the mix.
[13:45:40] <janrinok> Yep, there is no understanding some people.....
[13:51:26] <FatPhil> lightly salted? now that's litotes if ever anything was.

[16:40:16] <Bytram> btw, do you have a couple minutes to 2nd a story I just dropped in the queue?
[16:54:27] <raxas> I think otherwise: those attacks are instruments and serve to create a legal reason for censoring SN in certain countries/jurisdictions. agencies do such kind of stuff regularly to socnets

[17:26:25] <Teckla> WHEW. It *is* next Sunday. You almost gave me a heart attack.
[17:27:28] <FatPhil> sorry!
[17:32:22] <progo> I was surprised by the false day, but if my dad got his card in a couple of days he'd hardly notice it was late
[17:35:11] <Bytram> FatPhil: Yes, that's the one! Thank you very much!

[17:39:39] <FatPhil> g/f's jousting with a particularly high maintenance client currently.
[17:40:11] <FatPhil> She's a young academic who thinks she's INT15, and a bit of a princess, but is actually about INT11.
[17:47:19] <janrinok> lol - that is a very good description that only geeks could understand!
[17:48:16] <janrinok> ... I am not making any statement about its accuracy, please don't set her onto me!
[18:01:42] <FatPhil> Probably 80% of our clients now are academics nowadays. The crappy business work has faded out a little, but the academics all pass on our contacts to each other, and it's just expanded. And having many dozens of academics reliant on us now, we see a wide range of attitudes and capabilities.
[18:03:02] <FatPhil> We're nearly at the stage where the g/f will be getting co-writing credits on some of the papers, because she knows their work better than they do (and there's lots of recycling amongst journals)

[19:33:37] <AzumaHazuki> gah, seasonal allergies suck. i didn't know they could make you so sleepy...
[19:34:31] <janrinok> is that a pollen allergy or something else?
[19:43:56] <AzumaHazuki> pollen i think
[19:46:16] <janrinok> well, I wish you well or, alternatively, that you can get the sleep that you crave.
[19:47:59] <AzumaHazuki> thanks...we'll see. i'm moving on Tuesday morning and have been trying to get everything prepared ahead of time. i can't pack all my bedroom stuff yet 'cause still have to sleep
[19:48:43] <janrinok> how far are you moving? is this a local change or the more major one that you were talking about a while back?
[19:50:36] <AzumaHazuki> local, unfortunately. i likely am not going to Soviet Canuckistan until late 2022 at the earliest
[19:50:58] <AzumaHazuki> it's just crosstown. my mother's coming here to Buffalo and I intend to help get her settled, which means sharing an apartment for a year
[19:54:11] <janrinok> well at least you will have company for a while :)
[19:55:37] <AzumaHazuki> yeah...that will be a nice change. and i miss her, haven't seen her for almost a decade
[19:55:57] <AzumaHazuki> it turns out we're also more similar than she and my sister are so it should be a lower-stress living situation for her.
[19:56:35] <janrinok> well I hope that you both enjoy the reunion and sharing your lives again for a while

[20:37:45] <Runaway1956> Predisposed to tell either a Dem/liberal narrative quite often
[20:37:59] <Runaway1956> Facebook won't hire a conservative "fact checker"
[20:38:08] <requerdanos> yeah, that's the way truth often falls. conservatives hate it.

[20:42:10] <Runaway1956> I'm curious just how alert and "with it" the queen is these days
[20:42:29] <Runaway1956> No one is likely to publicize anything non-flattering about the lady
[20:45:40] <janrinok> The Queen is still as sharp as a razor - she is well known for being well informed and able to discuss a wide range of topics without needing prompting.
[20:46:10] <janrinok> she may be getting a little infirm, but mentally she is still doing very well.

[21:40:41] <FatPhil> I broke my arm age 2-3, and don't remember that. You'd expect that to make some lasting impact if anything would.
[21:47:20] <Runaway1956> Yep, good one FatPhil
[21:47:43] <Runaway1956> I was told that I broke an arm, somewhere around 2 - no memories of that here either
[22:27:30] <chromas> how do you know you really broke it then?
[23:10:58] <AzumaHazuki> one of my earliest memories is my first slice of pizza at a place in Flushing called Al Dente. It's long long gone unfortunately
[23:11:07] <AzumaHazuki> must have been...maybe 4 years old?
[23:44:56] <t3> apparently I started that swimming around ~2.5 so that memory may have been earlier than 3
