[01:49:49] <Runaway1956> Well then - that new sprinkler works great!
[01:50:19] <Runaway1956> Depending on the T-Post you grab, it's sitting 4, 5, or 6 feet in the air, which is higher than anything except the tomatoes
[01:50:46] <Runaway1956> So, almost the entire garden is moistened in 45 minutes to an hour
[01:51:11] <Runaway1956> The only thing better are soaker hoses, but I don't have enough soaker hoses to go around.

[02:02:16] <Lemonarchus> Fascinating. Dirt, water, plants. Amazing.
[02:03:04] <Runaway1956> Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, oh ancient dead one.

[02:05:32] <systemd> ^ 03Scotland under fire after appointing a man as 'period dignity officer'
[02:05:50] <Runaway1956> How does anyone know that he's a man? Did they ask him? BIGOTS!!!
[02:06:05] <Runaway1956> ..... /sarcasm
[02:07:05] <Lemonarchus> Triggered. UK, gender, confusion. Woe is Runaway!
[02:09:37] <Runaway1956> https://twitter.com
[02:12:50] <ted-ious> Ok from what I can tell this job is like a pretentious version of a supermarket stock boy for feminine hygiene products.
[02:19:27] <Runaway1956> Yes, but of course, it should be a pretentious female holding the job. No trans, no cis males, only double X females allowed
[02:19:53] <Lemonarchus> Doubly triggered.

[02:25:25] <Runaway1956> I've triggered a lemonhead? Awesome!
[02:27:53] <Lemonarchus> Triple-triggered, and completely un-selfaware!
[02:29:41] <Lemonarchus> Tell us about the beans, Runaway! And the Squash! Fascinating.
[02:29:49] -!- Lemonarchus has quit []
[02:34:07] <ted-ious> I'm interested in hearing about beans. :)
[02:50:26] <AzumaHazuki> i am told they are good for the heart
[02:50:30] <AzumaHazuki> but also flatulent
[03:01:32] <Runaway1956> Well, beans . . . I'm trying some native American beans - they've sprouted, and grown an inch or two, looking healthy as can be
[03:01:49] <Runaway1956> Only planted one row, I think there were 52 seeds in the packet
[03:02:10] <Runaway1956> Garcia common beans

[04:59:52] <systemd> ^ 03James O'Brien discombobulated by LBC caller's words on young lads and sanitary products

[06:36:49] * FatPhil likes beans
[06:37:39] <FatPhil> There was a time when my biggest complaint about chillis con carne was that the meat was a bit sparse, nowadays it's that there aren't enough beans.
[06:39:28] <janrinok> parp! (to bring it back to my schoolboy level of discussion)

[07:00:41] <chromas> oh it's that time again
[07:08:32] <FatPhil> what, you expected high culture?
[07:08:45] * FatPhil picks up some Thomas Hardy...
[07:09:07] <FatPhil> /Fart in the Maddened Crowd/, it's a great read.
[07:10:37] <chromas> oh not that, just a dolt trying to pop his head in. Must've given up
[07:30:29] <chromas> I never noticed it before, but for the last five or so years, Firefox has had a feature called Race Cache with Network, where it hits up web servers even when the cache is good, so it can return whichever result is faster and it saves literally dozen of milliseconds off request time
[07:36:12] <FatPhil> Ah, so you noticed the bad smell.
[07:36:21] <FatPhil> We opened a window.
[07:37:59] <chromas> Unsealing the farticle accelerator eh

[07:44:02] <Nicomarchus> Never it seems, doth those who dealt, reap the smelt. FartPhil is quite prolifient, and redolent, in his own way.
[07:44:48] <chromas> You should've cum in with the nick FartPhil
[07:46:19] <Nicomarchus> You are one sick admin, chromas. Perhaps you should go out, as FlatulentNazi?
[07:47:50] <chromas> That's like the opposite of clever
[07:49:06] <inz> According to Godwin, chromas won
[07:50:48] <Nicomarchus> Looks like even the journal entries are slowly loosing comments, since there is no reason to be on SN anymore. Once, there was scintillating conversation and raucous debate, but now it is all pablum or insipid.
[07:51:35] <Nicomarchus> chromas always wins: he's admin.
[08:03:29] -!- norayr [norayr!~norayr@178.160.ntr.vs] has joined #soylent
[08:04:50] <FatPhil> inz: very quick victory too - literally the first line!
[08:05:50] * FatPhil ponders... if there's no reason to be on SN anymore, why has he registered more accounts than all the spambots and humans put together in the last month?
[08:07:35] <Nicomarchus> Who has? Tell us more, of Phil of Corpulense!
[08:10:02] <Nicomarchus> Some think the dream that was SoylentNews might still be salvaged. Get out of the way, Fat man.
[08:12:08] <janrinok> from Delphi to Ruby - still crap
[08:19:22] <Nicomarchus> Ruby?
[08:23:23] <Nicomarchus> Seriously, this is like having a philosophical discussion with Ethanol_fueled. See Turgid's sig.
[08:24:43] <janrinok> Who said I was talking to you?

[08:25:59] <Nicomarchus> You taling to ME? Ain't nobody else here! (Best Robert DeNiro impression) janrinok doesn't get American Movie refs, either?
[08:28:19] <janrinok> 40 people logged in
[08:29:56] <Nicomarchus> What? User nick FartPhil is already taken? Oh, the Huge Manatee!
[08:30:34] <Nicomarchus> Elon Muck says 36 of those are bots. True, dat.
[08:31:33] <Nicomarchus> I wish I could know, who scooped FartPhil out from under me. Such a loss.
[08:33:06] <Nicomarchus> Oh, and the spam mods in the RunawayAsshole journal entry are out of control. Time to rein things in, Admins.
[08:34:43] <Nicomarchus> And, janrinok, if you keep replying here, to conversations you are having on other channels, well, we will not understand you, and may start to question your sanity. I say this as a covert aristarchus, hiding in the armoire.

[08:42:24] <Nicomarchus> Well, his karma is greater than mine.

[08:49:17] -!- Nicomarchus has quit []
[08:56:15] <inz> If he(?) was even amusing enough for popcorn, but nope just a waste of resources.
[08:58:42] <janrinok> his leaving each day is only spoiled by his returning the next
[09:00:13] <FatPhil> Anyone remember 'The Lover's Arrival' on /.?
[09:07:26] <chromas> no
[09:10:08] <chromas> I haven't been to /. in awhile but it's fun to see someone's picked the nick systemd-anonymousd
[09:10:09] <FatPhil> He was a bit of a twat, obviously whoring for complements most of the time, not realising how twatty he came over.
[09:10:31] <chromas> sounds like he should be on twitter
[09:23:37] <FatPhil> I registered "The Hater's Leaving" to troll him.
[09:23:56] <FatPhil> janrinok's comment reminded me of that
[09:25:25] <FatPhil> One of the local fooderies clearly doesn't understand vegetarianism - they're offering portobello burger with bacon.
[09:35:38] <inz> I think they understand it better than the vegetarians.

[12:48:22] <Runaway1956> Yay - a little rain. I think it might be soaking into the garden, where the ground is already a little wet from me watering it.
[12:48:38] <Runaway1956> Away from the garden, not so much
[12:49:10] <Runaway1956> still a chance for more today
[12:49:34] <Runaway1956> 20 miles away, where my son works, they had a gully washer, so he's off work for the day
