01:24 🔗 omf_ The dude is trying to be a nitpicky bitch
01:25 🔗 omf_ oh that fucker even pulled the Ms. bullshit instead of Dr.
01:26 🔗 omf_ There is a great article that shows by default many men refer to women as Ms or Mrs instead of their title like Dr. Prof. President etc...
01:27 🔗 omf_ And also the reverse happens as well. Men will refer to female colleagues by last name instead of first name like with male colleagues to appear professional
01:27 🔗 omf_ because god forbid you call a woman by her first name
01:31 🔗 godane uploaded: https://archive.org/details/aaron-swartz-usss-first-release-08-12-13
03:18 🔗 godane The Bits Season 4 episodes are finally all uploaded
10:48 🔗 omf_ They finally fixed the internet outage here, nearly a half day gone
10:48 🔗 omf_ At least I did not have to pay for the repairs
10:49 🔗 SmileyG welcome back then
11:14 🔗 omf_ This is a pic of my friend's most recent smoked meat of the week https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1149294_4663363082036_865566005_o.jpg
11:25 🔗 SmileyG that looks rather burnt o_O
11:25 🔗 SmileyG far too hot D:
11:25 🔗 SmileyG tho it is pulling nicely
11:29 🔗 omf_ He smoked it for 12 hours
11:29 🔗 SmileyG we did 9 hours, planned to do 10
11:29 🔗 SmileyG but a "chef" (guy we know, used to be a chef long ago) turned up and said it prob been on long enough
11:29 🔗 SmileyG it hadn't :/
11:30 🔗 SmileyG but it wasn't like that
11:30 🔗 SmileyG we didn't glaze it either....
11:30 🔗 omf_ Yeah that had a couple coats of glaze
11:30 🔗 omf_ I am thinking of doing a dry rub for this weekend
11:30 🔗 SmileyG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UEe61GK9t4o/Uf5EnPVwQfI/AAAAAAAAe1E/X99qO2ph-7Q/w661-h881-no/20130804_130840_Suffolk+Close.jpg
11:30 🔗 SmileyG bbq on left, smoker on the right
11:31 🔗 omf_ Is that your bicycle?
11:31 🔗 SmileyG no, this is around my friends
11:31 🔗 SmileyG Y?
11:31 🔗 SmileyG Should I buy it off him?
11:31 🔗 omf_ The pic is not detailed enough to show parts so I cannot make that call
11:32 🔗 SmileyG k :D
11:32 🔗 SmileyG I want offroad bike anyway, simply bigger tires for me
11:33 🔗 omf_ I almost always ride a mountain bike when commuting around the city. It can handle pot holes, curbs and all the junk better than a road bike. If the roads were better maintained I might switch
11:35 🔗 SmileyG yeah
11:36 🔗 SmileyG Thats my thinking, I'm not exactly the most experienced rider either. Just need to figure out how to maintain it properly etc too
11:36 🔗 omf_ #1 rule for bike maintenance is always make sure your tires have good pressure
11:37 🔗 SmileyG yeah
11:37 🔗 omf_ People tend to not pay enough attention to that, you see car owners are the same way
11:39 🔗 SmileyG yah
11:42 🔗 omf_ The US bicycle support sucks
11:43 🔗 omf_ There is a huge difference between riding in a top 15 city versus everything else
11:44 🔗 omf_ For example
11:44 🔗 omf_ many US city ratings include future plans
11:44 🔗 omf_ whereas on the world stage many great bicycle cities never count their future plans
11:46 🔗 omf_ A simple way to visualize this is to look at the bicycle layer for a city using google maps or OSM
11:47 🔗 SmileyG shame I'm in the UK :D
11:47 🔗 SmileyG and pffft, I'll ride anywhere, hense wanting mountain bike rather than road.
11:47 🔗 omf_ So do I but some roads and places are extremely unfriendly to bicyclers
11:48 🔗 omf_ Bristol is the UK's top cycle city
11:49 🔗 omf_ Here are the US top 10 for context
11:49 🔗 omf_ 1. Minneapolis, MN
11:49 🔗 omf_ 2. Portland, OR
11:49 🔗 omf_ 3. Boulder, CO
11:49 🔗 omf_ 4. Seattle, WA
11:49 🔗 omf_ 5. Eugene, OR
11:49 🔗 omf_ 6. San Francisco, CA
11:49 🔗 omf_ 7. Madison, WI
11:49 🔗 omf_ 8. New York, NY
11:49 🔗 omf_ 9. Tucson, AZ
11:49 🔗 omf_ 10. Chicago, IL
11:49 🔗 omf_ The only surprising one for me is #9. That city has some fucked up urban sprawl
11:50 🔗 SmileyG well most of the city centre here is non car so thats nice
11:51 🔗 omf_ http://www.bicycling.com/news/advocacy/america%E2%80%99s-top-50-bike-friendly-cities
12:02 🔗 ersi Riding a bike is so much more fun with proper tire pressure
12:02 🔗 ersi It's exhausting and somewhat tedious with the wrong pressure
12:03 🔗 ersi Which reminds me that I should pump my tires
12:03 🔗 omf_ ersi, how is the cycling in your city?
12:04 🔗 ersi It's a "bike city" - a lot of students. It's also very flat :)
12:04 🔗 ersi I'd say it's quite good, for what I know at least.
12:05 🔗 ersi Then again, there's roughly 200k citizens in my city.. so it's pretty small, you can manage to go anywhere on bike really
12:06 🔗 omf_ 2 million here
12:07 🔗 ersi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppsala
12:07 🔗 ersi Oh, about 140k citizens. the 200k+ figure is for the whole county
12:08 🔗 omf_ yeah the bicycle layer for that city looks excellent
12:09 🔗 ersi I got many colleagues in Stockholm that bike as well
12:09 🔗 ersi most with road bikes
12:15 🔗 omf_ How do road bicycle peeps deal with snow? My mountain bike has got deep knobby tires to handle it
12:15 🔗 omf_ I understand the physics of slicks working in the rain but snow and ice are a different story
12:17 🔗 SmileyG i think they don't ride!? :D
12:17 🔗 SmileyG you can get spiked tires also.
12:19 🔗 ersi I think most people put away their bikes, when winter comes around.
12:19 🔗 ersi I bike all around the year, mainly because I bike such short distances
12:19 🔗 SmileyG I think icould walk to work in 30-40 min
12:19 🔗 SmileyG SO biking should take around 20.
12:19 🔗 SmileyG I can walk 20min to the train station, then 15min the other side, thats my last option
12:19 🔗 ersi I think it's about 1.8 "miles" single journey - which frankly, is not much
12:20 🔗 ersi But in -20C, it's pretty fucking long.
12:20 🔗 ersi (I've learned my lesson. No more biking in -20C weather)
12:22 🔗 omf_ Do people own more than one bicycle? I have two fully working ones and most of my bicycle friends only have 1
12:24 🔗 ersi Hehe, I/we do :D At one time we had like 6 bikes on 2 people - where only I rode
12:24 🔗 ersi One was mine, one was my gf's and the others came from our summer house (ie. collected family bikes through the ages)
12:27 🔗 SmileyG thats like me with pc's
12:29 🔗 omf_ http://www.fastcompany.com/3015418/from-inside-walled-gardens-social-networks-are-suffocating-the-internet-as-we-know-it
12:29 🔗 omf_ I <3 off road riding, I will take having just a mountain bike over having just a road bicycle
12:30 🔗 omf_ I like having both since there is a finished 12 mile flat straight trail for high speed road bicycling
12:30 🔗 omf_ It was a former train track
12:30 🔗 omf_ plus disc brakes
12:31 🔗 ersi I don't think most people own multiple bikes here though
12:32 🔗 omf_ People see you as "hardcore" when you have 2+ bikes
12:32 🔗 omf_ For me I think having 3 total would be the best fit
12:33 🔗 SmileyG well for me, it'll mostly be for getting to work
12:33 🔗 SmileyG of course I'll use it in other ways I expect
12:33 🔗 ersi I think most people will see you as hard core if you have a road bike :)
12:33 🔗 ersi ie thin weels and light frame etc
12:34 🔗 omf_ Hipsters only rock road bikes and they are hardly hardcore
12:34 🔗 omf_ I see people biking with sandals on and I am thinking "Wow future foot injury waiting to happen"
12:35 🔗 SmileyG hmm
12:35 🔗 SmileyG i remember when I was young
12:35 🔗 ersi haha
12:35 🔗 SmileyG we used to ride around all the time
12:35 🔗 ersi yeah, that always felt very insecure
12:35 🔗 SmileyG my friend got his foot trapped
12:36 🔗 SmileyG it ripped his trainer to peices in the second or so he took to stop
12:40 🔗 godane uploaded: http://archive.org/details/Good_Morning_Australia_11-11-85_BetaRip
12:40 🔗 omf_ Yeah I still have some bad bicycling habits. I never wear a helmet, I do not carry tools or spare tubes
12:40 🔗 omf_ The most I carry is a chain and a lock
13:20 🔗 godane so looks like there was only 2060 videos in the computer tech collection before i came along
13:45 🔗 godane looks like i will be able to save another g4 show
13:46 🔗 godane 2 months 2 million
13:46 🔗 godane and the 720p is on usenet
13:47 🔗 SketchCow Computers and Tech wasn't given the attention you are giving it.
13:47 🔗 SketchCow That's true for a lot of archive.org. I'm adding so many documents that I've had to create dozens of collections to hold them.
13:47 🔗 SketchCow And I completely redid software, as you've seen.
13:47 🔗 BlueMaxim at least it's actually getting up there
13:48 🔗 godane SketchCow: most of it is tech podcasts before
13:56 🔗 godane i have got life.hackaday.com
13:56 🔗 godane grabing handmade.hackaday.com
14:09 🔗 GLaDOS http://www.worth1000.com/discussions/70353/the-future-of-worth1000-everyone-please-read/
14:09 🔗 GLaDOS YES, SOMEONE GETS THE POINT
14:09 🔗 GLaDOS tl;dr closing down, making everything into a static museum.
14:11 🔗 SmileyG \o/
14:11 🔗 SmileyG ARCHIVE IT ANYWAY
14:13 🔗 ersi Yeah, but it's miles better than "I quit hosting this site. Pulling plug in an hour"
14:15 🔗 SmileyG indeed it is
14:28 🔗 omf_ http://openglam.org/2013/08/13/getty-releases-4600-images-into-the-public-domain/
14:29 🔗 ersi yay
14:30 🔗 norbert79 Awwww, I am sad regarding worth1000.com
15:15 🔗 DFJustin nice, usually museums are more like the seagulls in finding nemo
15:15 🔗 omf_ Things are slowly starting to change
15:34 🔗 joepie91 omf_: that really confused me for a moment
15:34 🔗 joepie91 "Getty"
15:34 🔗 joepie91 my first mental connection was to "Getty Images"
15:35 🔗 joepie91 (that very lawsuit-happy stock image publisher)
15:43 🔗 omf_ yeah I thought the same when I first say the title
15:43 🔗 omf_ but openglam.org is pretty ontop of their subject matter
15:43 🔗 omf_ also Russia http://instinctmagazine.com/post/olympic-committee-confirms-it-will-punish-athletes-who-support-lgbt-rights-russia#sthash.R93EgPXt.uxfs
15:44 🔗 joepie91 omf_: getting the idea that they're just looking to see how far they can push it
15:44 🔗 joepie91 and still get away with it
15:46 🔗 omf_ If you scan down the comments there is a point about how this violets an earlier rule
15:46 🔗 omf_ existing rule
15:49 🔗 omf_ Someone is going to do something on camera
15:49 🔗 omf_ at the winter olympics
18:11 🔗 omf_ Still my fav funded kickstarter -> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1960086844/miniature-wargaming-flying-assault-butts
19:21 🔗 SketchCow I loved Worth1000
19:43 🔗 SketchCow Will miss it!
19:43 🔗 SketchCow Let's take a copy.
19:57 🔗 BlueMaxim SketchCow, am I going to need to hold you back from breaking some poor idiot's nose?
19:57 🔗 BlueMaxim Also, how did you recognize the guy? Same phone number or something?
