[10:32pm] resplendentoopss: Predicate is just one big milgram experiment with puns.
[2:11pm] eaton: I'm starting to think that SyFy is the perfect ground zero for Predicate hecklery.
[2:11pm] stankow: Oh my GOD that is shitty CGI.
[2:11pm] xiamin: It is telling that at any given time several people in the chat are watching the channel.
[2:12pm] stankow: When you can't even be arsed to name your "space agency" NASA, then you've more or less given up on quality.
[2:13pm] eaton: "NORSA: When Your Movie Is Such Crap, You're Afraid You'll Offend Real Astronauts."
[10:50pm] gar: how's the weather, mule?
[10:50pm] mule: snowy
[10:51pm] gar: twas the night before the mule
[10:51pm] gar: and all through the house
[10:51pm] gar: was snow on the ground
[10:51pm] gar: not even a mouse
[10:51pm] Hirightnow: when what, to my wondering eyes did appear
[10:52pm] Hirightnow: but an IRC mulebot, whose help I hold dear
[10:53pm] Hirightnow: with a little slav coder I knew to be cool
[10:53pm] Hirightnow: I knew in a moment it must be the mule
[17:09:48] electroboy: ouch. my councilperson just tweeted "I have a question-- what's the GDP?"
[17:09:55] eaton: ...
[17:10:19] scottydont: that's just the kind of commonsense wisdom we need in the US Senate!
[17:11:36] electroboy: let me google that for you, belinda conaway
[17:12:17] Osomatic: Maybe she's running a deep game about how there's a lot of different figures out there for the GDP, and who can truly say?
[17:13:22] xiamin: Or pointing out that GDP is not a really valid measure of human activity
[1:12pm] patientfox: yeah, i care a lot more about high-level stuff
[1:12pm] patientfox: like moving towrds an async messaging infrastructure
[1:12pm] patientfox: process optimization
[1:12pm] patientfox: CI, TDD, etc..
[1:12pm] Ajax-: Your mom is an async messaging infrastructure.
[1:13pm] Irish: You suck at your mom, Ajax.
[1:13pm] Ajax-: Irish: I admit that.
[11:51am] Ajax-: At college it's different because people come and go randomly.
[11:51am] Ajax-: But sooner or later you've got friends-of-friends-of-friends who've heard you might be holding, so they stop by at 11:20pm.
[11:52am] Ajax-: And you don't want to hang out with them, so you quit dealing.
[11:52am] scottydont: sort of a stoner proto-facebook
[11:52am] electroboy: and everyone wants to go, so it's like 4 dudes showing up at your house
[11:55am] bitterpants: i think pot dealing and copyright law have some interesting parallels
