canthus13QR code, even.00:42
paultag:notbad.jpg:00:42
canthus13Of course, you're in trouble if it ever needs to be revoked.00:42
paultagmmm.00:42
thafreakqr code points to url, that spits out the current fingerprint...03:36
thafreakhmm...if I google turologist...it goes...did you mean urologisit03:38
thafreakif i say...NO...then it just brings up a bunch of links to paultag03:38
thafreakso if I put that on my business card, then I think paultag just gets a bunch of free publicity03:39
thafreakOh and this link03:41
thafreakhttp://motz.antville.org/stories/1458798/03:41
thafreakI like: Applied Meta-Mathematician03:41
Cheri703so your comment about urologist reminded me: There is a back pain doctor around here who missed his true calling. He should have been a urologist. His name: Dr. Ballitch03:48
Cheri703(he has billboards all over the place)03:48
canthus13thafreak: so... you'd need to write an app that extracts the gpg key from a URL.04:36
paultagI need coding minions. Who's got ideas?14:32
paultagcanthus13: gpg can do that, mostly14:33
paultagcurl $URL | gpg --import14:33
paultag$ curl "http://me.pault.ag/paultag.asc" | gpg --import14:34
paultag$WORKSFORME14:34
canthus13Cool. :)14:41

paultagI still need minions :)15:02
Cheri703>_<15:02
Cheri703person I know posts on fb "interesting...." and a link to "fibbing with GM Job Creation Statistics, Bill Clinton Edition" and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tempted to reply with this link: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2012/08/29/mitt-romney-tells-533-lies-in-30-weeks-steve-benen-documents-them/15:03
Cheri703but I don't want to engage >_<15:03
paultagyar15:03
Cheri703:/ this sounds like hyperbole, but I have to avoid reading certain articles or watching certain clips because they make my stomach hurt. watching/listening to/reading some of the blatant and willful and aggressive ignorance just makes me feel sick.15:07
canthus13Cheri703: Meh. They're all liars. :P  The fact checking on clinton's speech, even by the AP, was pretty rough on him.15:10
Cheri703I think it's related to my anxiety, REALITY is such an important thing, the ground we walk on, when I see people who are trying to say they're not *actually* on the ground, they're on a wall and gravity doesn't exist, it makes me uncomfortable15:11
Cheri703oh, for sure canthus13, but the post was coming from a person who practically WORSHIPS romney and yet....15:12
Cheri703OMG TEH LIES15:12
Cheri703" "15:12
canthus13The thing that bugs me is his bragging about economic policies, when under his watch they allowed banks to get involved in high-risk investments by repealing teh glass-steagall act.. which led directly to the collapse of the hosing market. :?15:13
Cheri703yeah, I only watched the obamas' speeches and the last bit of biden's. I want to watch the debates, not a pep rally15:13
dzhocanthus13: I hear you about that.16:30
dzhoOTOH, it's not like that was his first priority, either.16:30
dzhothat was signed in 1999 after he lost majorities in Congress16:31
dzhoeverybody thought it was a great idea, bipartisan deal for the glorious future yadda yadda16:31
dzhosandy weill created citigroup, and they all rushed to make it legal after the fact16:32
canthus13true, but he could have vetoed it.16:41
canthus13If nothing else, that absolves him of any blame. and he was all about dodging blame.16:41
dzhoyes, he could have vetoed it16:52
dzhoI don't know what sort of deals were being made, or other back-scratching16:53
dzhoI don't absolve him of blame for it.16:53
dzhobut it sure as hell is shared blame.16:53
dzhothe way it looks to me, the democrats compromise with the republicans to get stuff done, and then the republicans shift further to the right and call the democrats communists and stalinists and the cycle starts all over16:54
dzhonot that I read the WSJ a lot, but I saw an editorial where the guy said that wanting to put bankers in jail was Stalinism16:54
dzho(as opposed to, you know, just persecuting people for fraud)16:55
dzhos/persecuting/prosecuting/16:55
dzhothis pox-on-both-your-houses BS just encourages cynicism, and people to drop out of participating.16:57
canthus13dzho: true, but they're all a bunch of liars. I'm just planning on voting for the one who understands that printing more bills doesn't mean we have more money and isn't intent on bankrupting the entire world.16:59
dzhogood luck with that16:59
canthus13...not that I'm sure that there's a candidate that understands that. but Obama seems to be the poorer choice on that front.16:59
dzhoreally?17:00
dzhoromney made a good deal of his money on leveraged buy-outs.17:01
dzhoborrow money.  use the money to buy the company.  strip the company.  dump the company on some other chumps.  company goes bust from the debt.17:01
dzhohttp://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/greed-and-debt-the-true-story-of-mitt-romney-and-bain-capital-2012082917:02
dzhofor a little bipartisan criticism http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/ag-eric-holder-has-no-balls-2012081517:03
dzhooh, I forgot the most important bit:  the company gets saddled with the debt that was borrowed to purchase it17:04
canthus13Obama's the one who has doubled the national debt in 4 years. :/17:05
dzhooh please17:05
dzhoinherited two extremely expensive wars17:05
