[04:08:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, putting it in Politics might imply some credibility to the notion that they might have one or two legitimate beefs. can't have that.

[11:51:13] <Bytram> ~tell Sulla Don't know if you are interested or not... as to your BlackBerry giveaway... you could open things up to anyone who subscribed during the period as we have access to each of the subscription records (doh!) Have a drawing among people who claim they subscribed... we can then verify the winners. I think there may be a corner case, but if so, we just have you draw another entry.
[11:51:37] <Bytram> ~tell Sulla I need to get ready for work, but have been meaning to pass that along to you for a while.

[17:28:10] <Sulla> Bytram: I think we talked about this to some extent months ago. Figure we will get three of the phones sent out per the original contest outline and then we can do that for the remaining.
[17:41:03] <takyon> did you not get any entrants?
[17:46:15] <SoyGuest52256> n.e. Moon Pie...
[17:47:58] <SoyGuest52256> dry texture and cardboardy taste, erk, and the filling's rubbery!??!
[17:48:05] <SoyGuest52256> Do people really chose to eat those?
[17:52:42] <Sulla> We got three
[18:03:55] <chromas> SoyGuest52256: real moon pies or prefabbed ones from a box?

[18:22:10] <chromas> Do both, for science!
[18:22:54] <takyon> I guess so
[18:23:19] <takyon> might do the room temperature one first since I think the thermophilic variety is more likely to work, and then I can just back-slop from ti forever
[18:26:15] <SoyGuest52256> chromas: proper banded ones, but it came in a solo plastic pocket.

[18:27:28] <takyon> bacterium: which of your brethren should I support in yogurt?
[18:29:46] <chromas> "Not I," said the pig
[18:30:16] * chromas votes for SoyGuest52256 'cause /me doesn't know or eat yogurt
[18:31:38] <takyon> it's got a lot of uses. from just eating it or using it as an ingredient in mac+cheese, stroganoff, curry, bread, etc.
[18:35:31] <Sulla> Got yogurt to use last night in smoothies and left it in the freezer on accident
[18:35:35] <Sulla> will texture be ruined?
[18:36:00] <takyon> I think not
[18:36:45] <chromas> Today on SoylentChews: Yogurt

[18:41:40] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Sarah Sanders Asked to Leave Restaurant Because of Work for Trump - http://sylnt.us - restaurant-with-bite
[18:42:10] <chromas> Discrimination!
[18:45:09] <Sulla> Well I hope the restaurant can prove their food is all an artistic work
[18:45:23] <Sulla> but i imagine they didn't actually read the supreme court ruling
[18:45:49] <Sulla> Glad that this will end in a lawsuit with the restaurant and the left forced to support the right of the businesses to refuse service to anybody
[18:47:35] <chromas> Wait but, no they should only be able to refuse service when it's for reasons I agree with
[18:48:42] <takyon> the only one who has standing to file a lawsuit is sarah sanders and she won't sue them because it's bad politics
[18:49:20] <chromas> If we can be offended on others' behalves, can't we sue for them as well?
[18:50:40] <takyon> well, it is America

[18:53:52] <takyon> I guess the current $180 or whatever AirPods were low-end
[18:55:11] <chromas> "the people said...the people said...the people said." Their text generator needs more training
[19:00:06] <Sulla> I think the business can sue Trump for defamation/whatever now
[19:35:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> Essentially from Ken White's Twitter: "Anyone can sue anyone for anything. But this (Red Hen sueing Trump) would not be a strong claim. The contexts (Trump, Twitter, politics) all point to it being rhetorical hyperbole and not a statement of fact."
[19:41:25] <Sulla> Maybe the red hen people should argue that trump always speaks the truth and that its not just hyperbole
[19:50:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, yall know how every year or so i'm bragging on my isp for doubling my speed at no extra cost? well they didn't do that this time. they did drop the bill $20/month for the same service though.
[19:51:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> for a bunch of hippies they don't do capitalism half bad.
[19:53:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> They've got a history of giving you more without charging you more for it? And now they're charging you LESS? Sounds like SOCIALISM to me.
[19:53:50] * AndyTheAbsurd kids, of course
[19:57:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's building brand loyalty. that's intelligent capitalism, that is.
[20:03:22] <chromas> The Message inbox could use a reply button for user messages
[20:05:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> would that require me to get off my ass and code? i feel a veto coming on.
[20:06:29] * chromas oppresses tmb with the perl whip
[20:16:37] <Sulla> Me and my AC friend finally decided to hate ourselves and got the gb plan from comcast
[20:16:47] <Sulla> so far my speeds are averaging 400-500mbps
[20:16:55] <Sulla> with 60mbps upload
[20:17:12] <Sulla> far better than the 25% i was expecting on downloads
[20:17:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> nifty
[20:17:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> mine's sposed to be offering gb fiber here soon. logistics still happening first.
[20:18:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i always get 100% with them. or so near that you couldn't chalk it up to anything but random internet weather.
[20:19:15] <Sulla> Thats pretty nice.
[20:19:43] <Sulla> I want to go with a local company that has symmetrical 50gb for 50/month and you are assured the 50
[20:19:48] <Sulla> but i didn't have line of sight
[20:20:07] <Sulla> they also had no data caps, can't say that for the comcast
[20:20:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya. they do a fucking amazing job at being an isp. enough so that i wouldn't even consider buying a house anywhere they didn't serve.
[20:21:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> my only beef is their website looks like some geocities refugee designed it.
[20:21:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> which is fine, cause who gives a fuck about their isp's website?
[20:22:18] <Sulla> i prefer not to, century link tried to force me to

[20:23:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, wait, i have another beef. they incorrectly state their speeds as MBps rather than Mbps
[20:24:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> not that anyone's confused i don't expect.

[20:26:04] <Sulla> i wish moderations tallied up more often
[20:26:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> you mean the summary message?
[20:26:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> cause the actual moderations are instantish.
[20:26:51] <Sulla> I mean the one telling me where i got them
[20:28:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. i don't see any good coming of making that information available in a timely manner. can't do anything but cause more "mods suck" posts and butthurt.
[20:31:49] <Sulla> Yeah. normally i dont care but my points have been a roller coaster the past two days
[20:31:52] <Sulla> been fun
[20:32:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> hooker karma, eh?
[20:33:13] <Sulla> i guess?
[20:36:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i gotta go be away from the computer before i get any more bored
