[23:48:02] <requerdanos> of tick tock, wonder why they are supposed to tick and not tock.
[23:46:37] * Runaway1956 detects no ticking from the Arctic
[23:46:23] <Runaway1956> re c0lo submission above - aren't time bombs supposed to tick?
[23:43:50] <Runaway1956> tastes just like toilet paper
[23:43:43] <Runaway1956> no filter, no flavor\
[23:43:37] <Deucalion> It's all semantics of course. That was a very bad day for someone(S) and I hope no-one ended up injured or dead. Property can be fixed, missing limbs or vapourised people not so much.
[23:43:37] <Runaway1956> anal tastes bad, like the one you just had
[23:43:11] <chromas> Deucalion can't be the only one getting anal here
[23:43:03] <chromas> butt we have to decide which thing exploded
[23:42:48] <Runaway1956> if no bits, no pieces, then no, you only have a fast combustion

[23:42:30] <Runaway1956> If bits and pieces go flying, it's an explosion
[23:42:28] <c0lo_> =submit tickling-bomb https://www.smithsonianmag.com
[23:42:02] <chromas> if a nearby vent exploding counts as an exploding van, then an exploding house should count as an exploding fuel tank :D
[23:41:48] <Deucalion> Thank %deity I am not the only pedant here :D
[23:41:24] <requerdanos> I would say anything plosive in the ex direction would count as an explosion, but it could be just me
[23:41:11] <Runaway1956> Only if it's the street twelve blocks away
[23:40:48] <chromas> does a woof count as an explosion if it ejects the garage door out into the street?

[23:39:59] <Deucalion> Good way to encourage cessation of cancer sticks
[23:39:47] <Runaway1956> tastes like toilet paper
[23:39:42] <Runaway1956> no filter no flavor
[23:39:38] <Runaway1956> Winston, tastes bad, like the one I just had
[23:39:26] <Runaway1956> Polar bear probably tastes like Winston when you smoke it.
[23:39:21] <Deucalion> The result is lots of heat and pressure though as the vapour ignites... the containing structure might be said to "explode" as the windows and doors get blown out. The fuel tank itself... not so much.
[23:37:54] <Runaway1956> Depends on how much fuel-air mix there was how much of a "WOOOF" it made.

[23:37:48] <c0lo_> =submit smoked-polar-bear-how-do-they-taste? https://www.theguardian.com
[23:36:59] <Deucalion> So the "explode" in the hyped reporting of it is going to be what a neighbour said... actually nothing exploded... most likely the thing leaked, lots of fuel vapour built up in a confined space then something lit it off...... that kinda makes a "WOOOOF" as it ignites.

[23:33:24] <chromas> "well, tyechnically the tank itselff didn't expode..."
[23:32:56] <chromas> Don't know. Maybe it leaked and something sparked inside the garage
[23:32:54] <Deucalion> Seems an unfortunate chain of events or insurance job possibly (says my inner cynic).
[23:32:18] <Deucalion> How does a fuel tank spontaneously explode? Maybe vent got blocked and it over pressurised with temperature. But that wouldn't mean it immediately causes a fire, just fuel all over the place.
[23:29:26] <chromas> ah oh. did c0lo_ figure out that subsidising things makes them cost more?

[22:23:17] <Runaway1956> Which word is that, FatPhil?
[22:20:43] <FatPhil> not a lot of (english-speaking) people know that they probably know a tagalog word.

[21:51:22] <Runaway1956> Needless to say, the Tagalog Philipinos didn't like Nepo very much . . . Tagalog were on the menu often
[21:50:04] <Runaway1956> Seemed reasonable, LOL
[21:49:58] <Runaway1956> he said "I ate whatever my Mama gave me"
[21:49:42] <Runaway1956> I asked him once if he ever ate anyone
[21:49:31] <Runaway1956> my squad leader in the Navy was from the Philipines - head hunter tribe
[21:48:57] * Runaway1956 has no experience with eating human flesh, he just likes to slap some flesh from time to time
[21:48:29] <Teckla> Runaway1956: Does that include HUMAN FLESH?!
[21:48:03] <Teckla> In other news, water is wet
[21:47:59] <systemd> ^ 03Russian Disinformation Targets Vaccines and the Biden Administration
[21:47:57] <Teckla> https://www.nytimes.com
[21:41:32] <Bytram> okay, really need that nap. laters!
[21:41:25] * Runaway1956 believes in eating something different every day
[21:41:03] <Bytram> had plenty of Vitamin C, too!
[21:40:41] <chromas> throw in some oil and vinegar and you've got a salad going, baby!
[21:40:25] <Bytram> as a teen, my dinner plate was usually at least half-covered with mashed potatoes.
[21:40:22] * Teckla misses his electric mower.
[21:39:45] <Teckla> Yum!
[21:39:28] * Runaway1956 heads outside to clean the mower deck for green leafy vegetation to go with the rice
[21:39:05] <Teckla> Black rice is the least racist of all the rices.
[21:38:55] <Runaway1956> yes Teckla - that link specifically mentions glycemic index
[21:38:32] <Runaway1956> I think the proper advice would be to limit how much rice (or whatever) you eat
[21:38:29] <Teckla> Runaway1956: Doesn't rice have a high glycemic index?
[21:38:05] <Bytram> that advice for rice could apply to almost any carbohydrate.
[21:38:03] <chromas> so it looks like you should just skip white rice
[21:36:58] <Runaway1956> I guess I learned something - as much as it hurts my brain
[21:36:18] <systemd> ^ 03Eating Rice When You Have Diabetes
[21:36:17] <Runaway1956> https://www.verywellhealth.com
[21:35:42] <Bytram> there are several varieties of rice and pasta and potatoes. Nearly every society has a food staple that is high in carbohydrates.
[21:35:28] <Runaway1956> I blame barbados
[21:35:18] <chromas> , b.a.
[21:35:14] <chromas> barrabas
[21:35:10] <chromas> wasn't barabbas' fault
[21:34:08] * Runaway1956 never heard that before
[21:34:00] <Runaway1956> "rice is bad for my blood sugar"
[21:33:51] <Runaway1956> huh - I just got chewed out for choosing rice instead of taters or something for dinner
[21:33:17] <Teckla> DIABEETUS!
[21:33:05] <Bytram> well, speaking of the past, /me just had a large bowl of past[a] and feels the need to take a nap
[21:31:03] <Bytram> LOL! blast for the past!

[21:29:30] <Bytram> Teckla: thank you!
[21:28:13] <Teckla> I like SoylentNews a *lot* more than Slashdot, I just wish SoylentNews had more traffic.
[21:27:16] <Teckla> chromas: I still visit there for new stories, but I wouldn't take it upon myself to see if the signal to noise ratio was higher when anonymous posting was banned.
[21:27:06] <Bytram> nope

[21:26:57] <Bytram> =yt wat
[21:26:08] <chromas> you'd have to go back and check, but that's not going to happen, but you still visit there
[21:26:06] <Teckla> I probably like Hacker News best. (Hopefully saying that isn't heresy here!)
[21:25:54] <chromas> wat
[21:25:32] <Teckla> I can stop anytime I want! I've done it a million times!
[21:25:26] <Teckla> Bytram: You aren't missing anything. I still visit there (out of some kind of perverse inertia), but I should stop.
[21:24:51] <Teckla> chromas: I don't know. Would have to go back and check, but that's not going to happen, heh.
[21:24:28] <chromas> the trick is to change management styles all the time, so they never know how the rules are going to be enforced
[21:24:21] * Bytram has only visited /. maybe 10 times since the start of SoylentNews... ANd I was on that site from *before* it even had UIDs and accounts.
[21:23:50] <Teckla> Bytram: Yeah. I guess there's plenty of room for lots of management styles.
[21:23:48] <chromas> even when anon posting was disabled?
[21:23:12] <Teckla> Incompetents that often get modded up. :(
[21:22:58] <Teckla> imo, /. is both a cesspool *and* full of incompetents (some that mean well, some that don't), heh.
[21:21:42] <Bytram> point of reference: slashdot's staff reportedly had unlimited mod points and were not afraid to use them. it would take me about 5 minutes to turn that on for all staff here. In fact, that could have been done from the very start. We have tried to be as hands-off as possible with an occasional request to "play nice". (IOW: "Don't be a jerk!")
[21:20:39] <Teckla> No perfect solutions.
[21:16:26] <chromas> Shit, look at all the youtubers who beep themselves so they get that extra $5 in ad bucks/ And advertisers don't even care if you say "shit"
[21:15:32] <chromas> Or those who don't want you to have free speech will do what they can to get you to censor yourself and take away each other's free speech
[21:14:47] <Teckla> It could be that the only options are "free speech, but a cesspool" and "moderated by the platform operators, but speech is limited".
[21:13:47] <chromas> Don't forget crybullying is a thing
[21:12:56] <chromas> But you also have to agree with that place's definition of abuse
[21:12:26] <Teckla> Well, I take that back, somewhat. Some places seem to keep things civil and under control, but it seems to require humans doing the actual work of finding abuse and stamping it out.

[21:10:00] <Bytram> NB: For every problem there is a solution: simple, obvious, and wrong.
[21:09:46] <Teckla> chromas: Ah, yeah. I'm not sure how to fix the abusive moderation issue.
[21:08:45] <chromas> <AzumaHazuki> disable anon posting, duh
[21:08:45] <chromas> <FatPhil> it's almost impossible. minimising abuse is the best we can do. this needs to be looked at.
[21:08:45] <chromas> <Teckla> I wonder how else abusive moderating could be mitigated.
[21:08:45] <chromas> Looks like no:
[21:08:44] <requerdanos> well said.
[21:07:43] <Teckla> Perhaps those are different, if related, issues?
[21:07:20] <requerdanos> how does disabling anon posting stop moderation abuse, which is apparently a big issue?
[21:05:49] <chromas> How does disabling anon posting stop sockpuppeting, which is apparently a big issue?
[21:02:56] <Teckla> Heh.

[21:02:12] <Teckla> s/contribute positive/contribute in a positive/
[21:01:51] <Teckla> Again, just my opinion.
[21:01:45] <Teckla> Honestly, I've considered no longer visiting SN several times over the years, because I feel the conversations are very low quality. I suspect one reason they're low quality is precisely because the obnoxious trolls drive away people that would contribute positive way.
[20:58:37] <AzumaHazuki> it's like a lock on the front door. it's not going to keep a determined burglar our but it will filter the stupid, lazy, and weak
[20:58:18] <AzumaHazuki> that one is correct though
[20:55:44] <Teckla> In my opinion. I have lots of opinions, though, many of them likely wrong.
[20:55:36] <Teckla> Anonymity, without at least *some* barriers, just invites trolls. If they want to troll, they should at least have to climb the barrier of setting up yet another throwaway email account, and getting their SN account created and verified.
[20:54:47] <Teckla> In reality, I don't think that's worked out, at all. The evidence would be, well, every social media website ever.
[20:54:32] <Teckla> I think the idealistic viewpoint is "Allowing anonymous posts frees people to share their real opinions, which is valuable!"
[20:53:35] <Teckla> I don't really care that much either way. Mostly just chatting and sharing opinions.
[20:53:18] <Teckla> What about data supporting the value of allowing anonymous posting? :)
[20:52:45] <FatPhil> Opinions about preference need to data to support them apart from the preference itself. If you have it, you have it.
[20:52:06] <Teckla> I have no data to support this opinion, but I prefer when accounts are required for posting. One more barrier for the trolls.
[20:51:26] <FatPhil> It's always been possible, there was no good reason to disable that feature. Sometimes almost everyone wants some anonymity.
[20:50:42] <Teckla> Why did SN decide to allow anonymous posts?
[20:50:42] <FatPhil> however, I can assure you that from a centrist perspective there are as many loony-lefties as there are RWNJs.
[20:49:34] <FatPhil> I would prefer the incentivisation of posting through an account.
[20:45:46] <Teckla> Possibly 1 or 2 others as well.
[20:45:21] <Teckla> I can't prove it and don't care to prove it, but that's my instinct.
[20:44:49] <Teckla> In my opinion, yes.
[20:44:36] <AzumaHazuki> boru's a russian troll?
[20:44:26] <Teckla> AzumaHazuki: And a few Russian trolls, too. *cough*boru*cough*
[20:43:55] <AzumaHazuki> fuck no, this place is overrun by RWNJs
[20:43:43] <Teckla> Maybe you need some dedicated human "meta-moderators".
[20:43:34] <AzumaHazuki> it's too much :effort.gif: for most trolls to make an account
[20:43:22] <AzumaHazuki> disable anon posting, duh
[20:42:12] <FatPhil> it's almost impossible. minimising abuse is the best we can do. this needs to be looked at.
[20:41:09] <Teckla> I wonder how else abusive moderating could be mitigated.
[20:40:45] <FatPhil> I'm scratching my head - I can only remember one scene/snippet from /the hudsucker proxy/ - was there really anything memorable in the film apart from that one thing? (deliberately not saying, as i don't want my memory to perturb your own)
[20:40:38] <Teckla> Hmmm.
[20:11:48] <FatPhil> it was abusable too
[20:11:22] <FatPhil> it added an extra layer of complication for very little gain
[20:11:03] <FatPhil> Nope
[20:01:54] <Teckla> Does SN have "meta-moderation"?

[07:14:27] <raxas> no. it's a quantum-derived value
[07:06:20] <AzumaHazuki> would that threshold change depending on ambient conditions? pressure, temperature, background ionizing radiation, etc
[07:05:47] <raxas> I said yesterday, 512kV difference in potentials is a treshold to something. this patent is just another effect of the same phenomenon
[07:02:23] <AzumaHazuki> neat. i can't follow most of this, but does it imply something along the lines of levitation by rotating a disk with >500kv under it?

[01:05:48] <Deucalion> Bytram> SoylentNews has a multi-host IRC setup, if I have followed Deucalion's actions correctly. I know we have at least two (and maybe 3) servers. <<< Catching backscroll. We have 3 ircd. In practice and from experience having just 1 ircd is a pain in the ass. When it restarts or needs maintenance some ephemeral state is lost that needs recreating. 2 ircd is operational minimum as the survivor maintains such state during maintenance
