[06:29:15] <janrinok> morning all!
[06:45:21] <halibut> Hello.
[07:25:40] <janrinok> morning halibut
[07:26:03] <janrinok> sry, I got distracted by a pile of ironing!
[07:27:42] <halibut> How ironic.
[07:28:07] <halibut> Being productive is good.
[07:35:46] <janrinok> If I can find a reason to stop I do so immediately. Any distraction counts!
[07:42:22] <halibut> I always wondering why they called it ironing bored.
[07:43:00] <janrinok> :) - I've just left it too long and it is now a massive pile!
[07:45:00] <halibut> I will need to take off and start chores soon. Best of luck getting the pile ironed.
[07:50:48] <Ingar> I hate ironing
[07:50:51] <Ingar> seriously
[07:51:30] <Ingar> any household chore you want but ironing
[07:52:38] <janrinok> I don't mind it in moderation - but I have been decorating and putting the ironing off. Now I have to pay the price.
[07:53:18] <Ingar> it just goes so awfully slow
[07:53:30] <Ingar> busy for aN HOUR AND i'VE DONE LIKE TWO SHIRTS OR SO
[07:53:38] <Ingar> woops, sry for the caps
[07:54:06] <Ingar> and, ..., good morning janrinok :)
[08:00:47] <janrinok> morning Ingar
[08:31:50] <Ingar> we got quite the storm yesterday
[08:32:06] <Ingar> and now enjoying some steel blue skies
[08:32:10] <Ingar> (for as long it lasts)
[08:42:22] <janrinok> We had it too - the wind was the biggest problem, but the almost continuous moderate rain has caused problems for some.

[14:30:10] <kolie2> You never know with ari. Is this an illusion suggesting I take a page from the wannsee protocol or what.
[14:59:43] -!- c0lo has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[15:30:25] <janrinok> No, I think he wants access to the front pages again so that he can return to his previous sock-puppeting life. The trick is they post the abuse as AC, and then use the sock-puppets to moderate it upwards. That usually counters any negative mods from the community.
[15:32:10] <janrinok> So what they say is always viewable, even if the community wants to moderate it down. If you recall the front pages of 2020-2022 you will know the sort of mess that it creates. Just my 2c (Euro centimes of course...)
[15:33:54] <janrinok> Anyway, good morning to you, kolie!
[15:38:32] <kolie2> well shouldn't the m2 drop the utility of sock poppet modding.
[15:41:24] <kolie2> They've got this thing in Brussels. Many, many regulations. They're taking all the money. It's a disaster. They shouldn't have cents. They should have 'Brussels-Bits.' Tiny little bits. Because they're breaking everything into bits, and it's not strong. Our cent is strong. Theirs is just bits. And we all know who is in charge of Brussels, and we're not going to let it happen here.
[15:42:01] <kolie2> Cent' is our word. It's short for 'Central,' which is what America is. We're central to everything. They're just... over there. They can't use 'cent.' They should call them 'Euro-Points.' Like in a game. Because, let's be honest, they're not playing with real money, not like our dollar. They're just collecting 'points.' And we're winning.
[15:43:28] <kolie2> It's very simple. They're not paying their fair share, very unfair. They're using our word, 'cent,' and they're not paying for it. We have the best cents. From now on, they have to call them 'NATO-Nickels.' That way, every time they buy one of their little pastries, they're reminded of how much they owe us. It's a beautiful deal.
[15:43:32] <kolie2> Alright I got work to do lol.
[15:46:01] <janrinok> lol
[15:47:22] <kolie2> The more I dig into rehash - holy hell.
[15:48:41] <kolie2> It's kind of a mish mash and stuff everywhere too. It's hard to decode all the pieces and it is sometimes two ways of doing the same thing.
[15:49:18] <kolie2> Doing my best to take it piece by piece and faithfully recreate the logic.
[16:32:10] <janrinok> take your time. It is worth doing but I appreciate it isn't easy.
[17:05:00] <janrinok> Another hour or two and the usual weekend crowd will begin to get active.
[17:05:09] <kolie2> yay.
[17:12:20] <Ingar> kolie2: are you rewriting in perl, or something else ?
[17:13:45] <Ingar> kolie2: in practice, 1c and 2c pieces aren't used any more
[17:14:17] <Ingar> everything is rounded to the nearest 5c
[17:47:11] <kolie2> Not perl.
[17:47:29] <kolie2> The US stopped making 1c pieces I think.
[17:47:44] <kolie2> So we are also doing the rounding thing in some regions where pennies are scarce.
