[00:57:01] * SpallsHurgenson innocently enters the channel
[01:00:59] <Runaway1956> First time I ever heard a penis stand up and - type.
[01:02:29] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Polar Bear Club Plunge: the Science of an Icy Dip - http://sylnt.us - Brrrrrrrrrr!
[01:03:05] <SpallsHurgenson> years and years and years ago, when my insanity was more self-destructive, I did a polar-bear dip. I do NOT recommend it.
[01:03:46] <mrcoolbp> Yeah I passed on that one too, never understood it...
[01:04:00] <mrcoolbp> also I have like 5% bodyfat so I would probably have died
[01:04:10] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, it's very easy to understand it
[01:04:21] <Runaway1956> I did one when I was about 6 or 7 years old - walked across an ice skating pond, but went to far "upstream" where the water came in at
[01:04:37] <SpallsHurgenson> you're young, you're drunk, you're stupid... so why not leap half-naked into some ice-water? :)
[01:04:58] <Runaway1956> Luckily the water was only about 3 feet deep - was able to stand up and walk out of the water, then walk 1/2 mile home for dry clothes
[01:05:38] <SpallsHurgenson> at 6 years old, 3 feet of water is pretty serious :)
[01:06:05] <Runaway1956> Yeah but my head was above water - that's what counts
[01:06:33] <Runaway1956> more serious, it was late at night, nobody around - if the water was a little deeper, I might not be here now
[01:06:58] <SpallsHurgenson> yay, my new hdds have arrived... time to start copying :)
[01:07:11] <Runaway1956> what did you get?
[01:08:04] <Runaway1956> I was excited couple months ago when my 4 2Tb drives came in - I had the RAID built in a few hours
[01:09:28] <Runaway1956> Hitachi 2TB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Heavy Duty Hard Drive
[01:14:44] <SpallsHurgenson> my first hdd was 40mb... now I get something with 100,000 times the space and wonder if it'll last six months :-/
[01:15:55] <Runaway1956> Ditto here - I was amazed at the concept of a hard drive. Mine was also 40 MB, came with a 386 SX machine. Those were the days . . .
[01:16:14] <SpallsHurgenson> then again, I start getting nervous if my free disk space drops beneath 66%
[01:23:45] * SpallsHurgenson starts adding up the disk space of all his active computers...
[01:28:13] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm... only 24 TB :(
[01:28:47] <Runaway1956> 24 TB on how many disks?
[01:32:20] <SpallsHurgenson> (although I can bump that to 34TB if I include all the spare drives chucked in the bin :)
[01:33:23] <SpallsHurgenson> oh wait... that should be 28/38 (I forgot to add the new disks :)
[01:33:54] <Runaway1956> Heh - I have about 2TB of drives laying beside my desk - I couldn't plug them all in any longer, so I got the big drives to replace them all
[01:41:17] <SpallsHurgenson> of course, about 500GB of that are on old PATA drives... but hey, you never know when you need an old drive :)
[01:44:37] <SpallsHurgenson> or an ISA card :)
[01:48:31] <SpallsHurgenson> hell, the bin still has floppy disks in it :)
[01:48:42] <chromas> Eight inch?
[01:49:16] <SpallsHurgenson> when its floppy :)
[01:49:54] <chromas> I only have 5¼" :( The extra ¼" is important
[01:50:05] <SpallsHurgenson> but enough about me, lets get back to talking about disks :)
[01:50:14] <chromas> s/r//2
[01:50:14] <sedctl> <chromas> I only have 5¼" :( The extra ¼" is impotant
[01:52:13] <SpallsHurgenson> its not the size of your hardware that matters, its how much pleasure you get out of it that counts :)
[01:54:48] <SpallsHurgenson> anyway, older hardware is always bigger. Just wait long enough and the young'un's will gasp in amazement at the size of your gear when you show it to them :)
[01:54:59] <chromas> Is it true you get more fun if the write-protect notch hasn't been circumpunched?
[01:55:48] <SpallsHurgenson> you won't get as much use out of it if you don't give it a snip
[02:02:16] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm... only 8 stories in the queue.

[02:27:55] <SpallsHurgenson> that comment reads very wrong
[02:29:13] <chromas> I like how sites with ALL CAPS titles just use CSS to set it to caps, so when I copy/paste it comes out normal
[02:29:31] <SpallsHurgenson> do you really like that?
[02:29:43] <chromas> Better than having to re-type it
[02:29:49] <chromas> or if they'd just not use caps
[02:30:30] <SpallsHurgenson> WE SHOULD ALL START USING ALL-CAPS, ALL THE TIME! IT WOULD BE NEAT!
[02:30:52] <chromas> 10 GOTO 10
[02:30:59] <SpallsHurgenson> LOWERCASE LETTERS ARE FOR SOCIALISTS!
[02:31:40] <SpallsHurgenson> OR LIBERTARIANS, WHICHEVER YOU FIND MORE OFFENSIVE. USE ALL-CAPS! :)
[02:32:18] <chromas> PRICE ON LEGAL CANNABIS PRODUCTS IS APPARENTLY COMING DOWN
[02:33:03] <chromas> The Commodore 64 taught me to release shift for spaces when typing capital letters. Kind of slows things down
[02:35:13] * SpallsHurgenson introduces chromas to the CAPSLOCK key :)
[02:35:42] <chromas> whoa
[02:35:49] <chromas> WOOOW

[03:06:51] <SpallsHurgenson> 11 years old? isn't that a bit late to be learning the multiplication tables?
[03:07:21] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't remember when I learned those... second grade maybe? how old are you in second grade?
[03:09:38] <SpallsHurgenson> of course, that was a while ago; maybe numbers have gotten more complicated since I learned them. 3 probably doesn't mean 3 anymore...

[13:43:15] <cmn32480> I musta missed that one
[13:47:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, directly below the article on the yellowish edity page
[13:48:13] <cmn32480> you mean where we go to fix links and otherwise destroy submissions?
[13:48:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> just above the save/preview buttons, nod nod.
[13:48:34] <cmn32480> you talking about the little red lines?
[13:48:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> newp. says "Spellcheck" and gives you a dropdown for each possibly misspelled word.
[13:49:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> little red lines should be a clue too though =P
[13:50:31] <cmn32480> I ahve no spell chack button
[13:50:34] <cmn32480> or dropdown
[13:51:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> go to a sub and hit preview

[13:53:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep, just above those should be spellcheck

[15:25:11] <alexbst> super interesting.
[15:40:20] <mrcoolbp> I said good day sir
[15:41:07] <popeydoll> before clicking on it, are they saying astronauts feel burning when they pee
[15:41:12] <popeydoll> or that astronaut pee is flammable?
[15:41:17] popeydoll is now known as Popeidol

[15:42:02] <Runaway1956> Ooops, that was Chairman Mao, not Obama
[15:42:28] <Popeidol> I think you mean Chairman Moa, the kiwi dictator
[15:43:02] <Runaway1956> Chariman Moa? Was he one of the three Stooges?
[15:43:10] <mrcoolbp> Chairman Hao?
[15:47:57] <mrcoolbp> well the stories out I better go update the beg-o-meter
[15:52:34] <Runaway1956> The beg-o-meter is broken, it's down to something like 0% - or is that a 6% ? How could that happen?
[15:53:19] <Runaway1956> Oh, I'm proud of myself - first day back at work, I wrote the date a couple dozen times, and not once did I write 2015.
[16:01:30] <mrcoolbp> Runaway1956: it's at 6%, I just updated it. Includes all payments since Jan 1st
[16:03:47] <mrcoolbp> Runaway1956: I just adjusted it so you can see the " % "
[16:03:55] <Runaway1956> Ahhh, cool. My eyes get worse and worse - I suppose I'll have to increase my font size to read articles. Then again - a lot of articles make more sense if you can't actually read them.

[16:05:06] <Runaway1956> Think I'm going to fall into bed before I get any crazier . . .
[16:05:14] <Runaway1956> Can we still RTFM?
[16:05:21] <cmn32480> yes.
[16:05:23] <Runaway1956> Don't anser, I'm going to bed . . . .
[16:05:25] <cmn32480> and RTFS
[16:05:33] <mrcoolbp> but you have to turn in your geed card if you RTFM
[16:05:44] <cmn32480> you can have my geed card
[16:05:45] <mrcoolbp> unless it's like a nuclear reactor or something, then I guess it's fine
[16:06:03] <cmn32480> right now I am RTFM on Win 10.
[16:06:11] <cmn32480> and wishing that I could shoot myself
[16:06:31] <mrcoolbp> probably as complicated as a nuclear reactor (though needlessly so)
[16:07:08] <cmn32480> I jsut want a system that I don't avhe to decrapify every time I turn it on
[16:08:50] * mrcoolbp hands cmn32480 a linux
[16:09:03] <mrcoolbp> "one linux please!"
[16:09:35] * cmn32480 gratefully accepts and is considering going that route as soon as win 7 is no longer available

[17:12:48] <mrcoolbp> Wow, Oculus is giving a free Rift to every Kickstarter backer
[17:13:06] <cmn32480> quick jump in for $5!
[17:13:17] <mrcoolbp> lol, that's not how it works buddy
[17:14:23] <mrcoolbp> fliptop: that would be cool to have some original content, I'm planning on doing a "hands-on" with the Oculus rift when it comes out
[17:14:49] <mrcoolbp> all we need now is someone that is going to CES to do a report from the show floor and we would have January pretty well covered
[17:15:00] <fliptop> i was just thinking that
[17:15:15] <fliptop> i'll see what i can do
[17:17:54] <cmn32480> :-( sory mrcoolbp.. I was trying to help you get your soon to be favorite toy!
[17:18:59] <mrcoolbp> I'm not a man of excessive mean, but I have been waiting for this for 20 years, so I will fork over the cash tomorrow morning like many others
[17:26:59] <cmn32480> and you will (hopefully) enjoy the hell out of it
