[00:37] <mathomastech1> jcastro: Hey, rick_h_ mentioned that you use simple mobile on the T-mobile network. Any opinions on it? I am planning on moving to T-mobile soon, currently on ATT with an unlocked N4

[12:09] <snap-l> Good morning
[12:10] <rick_h_> morn
[12:10] <mathomastech> morning
[12:14] <brousch> You see that video of the Texas fertilizer plant? Crazy
[12:17] <snap-l> No, I missed it
[12:17] <snap-l> I've been avoiding news as of late.
[12:19] <brousch> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROrpKx3aIjA&sns=em
[12:21] <snap-l> That's awful
[12:21] <snap-l> Also, dumbass
[12:22] <snap-l> Seriously, that's way too close to plant
[12:23] <mathomastech> Yea, that is kinda scary.
[12:24] <mathomastech> Unfortunately, another victim of VVS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9zSfinwFA
[12:38] <rick_h_> I have to say...I don't get how twitter and music fit together.
[12:38] <rick_h_> but hey, if they can make $$ more power to them I guess
[13:39] <jjesse> on a local news site for the texas explosion some commentor has said that iy look closely at the video you ee a missile streak by
[13:39] <jjesse> hahahaha idiots make me laugh
[13:46] <snap-l> Seriously? They'll make a conspiracy about anything.
[13:47] <snap-l> rick_h_: Yeah, I don't understand the Twitter Music thing at all
[14:30] <brousch> I normally wouldn't share this, but I had to for #7 for rick_h_ http://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/29-things-only-people-from-the-midwest-understand
[14:48] <rick_h_> brousch: yea!
[14:50] <rick_h_> #4, #5, #7, #8, #15, #20, #28 and definitely !#29 :(
[14:51] <brousch> It's actually a good list. More than half apply to me or my immediate family
[14:51] <rick_h_> yea
[14:52] <brousch> #1 my uncle claims to have invented cornhole, but someone stole his plans. #2 half of my family has worked at a Steak & Shake for the last decade
[14:53] <rick_h_> I was kind of cranky when I went to a steak and shake and didn't find steaks
[14:53] <rick_h_> I've been bitter ever since
[14:53] <brousch> steak burgers!
[14:54] <brousch> It's like they pre-chew the steak for you!
[14:59] <brousch> I'm actually not a big S&S fan
[15:31] <snap-l> Garrison Keilor is not God in the flesh
[15:31] <snap-l> Seriously, I don't understand this list.
[15:32] <brousch> I had no idea who was in that picture
[15:32] <brousch> And now, aside from having heard the name before, I still have no idea
[15:33] <snap-l> Prairie Home Companion on NPR
[15:33] <snap-l> Which is the moment when I realize my radio can switch stations in .2 seconds.
[15:34] <snap-l> I think this list is more geared to the west-side of the Midwest
[15:34] <snap-l> Frankly there aren't enough chains and manacles in the world to get my ass into a Steak and Shake
[15:37]  * jrwren starts a LAke Woebegon monolog
[15:37] <snap-l> Pepper it with Lutheran jokes, and you're halfway there.
[16:32] <jrwren> ok, this is cool:https://github.com/dsc/pyquery
[16:37] <rick_h_> jrwren: that's cool it'll do that from ET
[16:39] <rick_h_> this is cool http://www.nycresistor.com/2013/04/16/pebble-hackathon/
[16:50] <snap-l> This is not a library to produce or interact with JavaScript code. If that's what you need, check out
[16:50] <snap-l> ...
[16:56] <jrwren> wtforms looks cool
[18:16] <jrwren> omg.
[18:16] <jrwren> i just wrote this
[18:16] <jrwren> x = dict.get('x', True)
[18:16] <jrwren> dict.pop('x', True)
[18:16] <rick_h_> lol
[18:17] <rick_h_> "this damn well better be true...unless there's a value...but if not.."
[18:17] <jrwren> yeah. need more coffee and sugar or something.
[18:17] <jrwren> stupid brain.
[18:18] <rick_h_> defaultdict to True :P
[18:18] <snap-l> jrwren: That's a nice language you're writing in. I hope you try Python soon. ;)
[18:20] <jrwren> that isn't python
[18:20] <jrwren> ?
[18:20] <jrwren> omfg, stfu about having a clue what the fuck i'm working k?
[18:20] <jrwren> defaultdict DIAF
[18:20] <jrwren> :p
[18:21] <snap-l> jrwren: I'm just messing with you. :)
[18:22] <jrwren> i know, i'm j/k too, sorry about the language.
[18:22] <jrwren> on a serious tip, what isn't pythonic about
[18:22] <snap-l> No worries.
[18:23] <rick_h_> ok, so the world just ended here. Hope you guys are all doing well
[18:23] <jrwren> somearg = kwargs.pop('may_not_be_there', True)
[18:23] <jrwren> rain?
[18:23] <jrwren> we just dumped on and very dark all of a sudden but just for a few minutes.
[18:23] <rick_h_> evidently it's now dark time and the rain is falling sideways straight into the house
[18:23] <jrwren> yup
[18:23] <snap-l> rick_h_: Yeah, it's supposed to get nasty by my house too
[18:24] <rick_h_> so much for the whole idea of open windows with a nice breeze
[18:24] <greg-g> rain? what's that?
[18:24] <rick_h_> greg-g: it's how flowers grow :P
[18:25] <snap-l> rick_h_: Yeah, time to hunker down
[18:25] <greg-g> nuh uh, there's flowers here, but no rain
[18:25] <rick_h_> and the crud from the winter gets washed into the sewers
[18:25] <snap-l> rick_h_: You hope
[18:25] <greg-g> oh, your crud gets washed away? our's just pools around forever.
[18:25] <rick_h_> all that salt from the roads left in the corners now flushed
[18:26] <snap-l> jrwren: I thought you were using dict as a keyword
[18:26] <snap-l> not as a variable.
[18:26] <snap-l> and was having some parsing problems.
[18:29] <rick_h_> oh heh, now RSS shows "severe thunderstorm warning expires 2:30...filed 2:23pm
[18:33] <brousch> My city is in a state of emergency
[18:33] <brousch> The creek near my house is flooding everything
[18:33] <jjesse> i can imagine
[18:34] <jjesse> i've seen pictures
[18:34]  * rick_h_ double checks the sump pump
[18:34] <brousch> I'm high enough up that it doesn't affect me
[18:34] <jrwren> i'm glad i live on top of a hill
[18:34] <greg-g> did you see the stuff in Chicago? crazy
[18:34] <brousch> jrwren++
[18:34] <rick_h_> we've got a guy on the team in CO with 16" of snow the last two days
[18:34] <greg-g> niiiiice
[18:35] <rick_h_> so at least not there. A bit much for april
[18:35] <jrwren> yeah, my friend in denver was like TOO MUCH SNOW< WTF
[18:37] <greg-g> too much snow? never, go skiing
[18:37] <jrwren> skiing is a rich persons sport. I'm too poor for that.
[18:38] <jrwren> give me a basketball in a concrete jungle plz
[18:38] <greg-g> ok, cross country skiing? snow shoeing? make awesome homemade ice-cream with snow+milk+sugar? make a snow fort?
[18:38] <greg-g> anyways, snow == endless fun, imo ;)
[18:39] <rick_h_> I almost cleaned up the table ont he deck to work outside today so I'm putting snow behind me now
[18:39] <rick_h_> however, glad I didn't end up getting out there today
[19:40] <rick_h_> lol ah penguicon
[21:07] <greg-g> huh, found another musician that Tom Morello/The Night Watchman sounds exactly like: Dave Alvin, who's currently on Bootleg Liquor on SOMAFM
[21:12] <jrwren> we are building debs. I was considering using debconf. I have decided not to. Anyone have thoughts on this decision?
[21:38] <rick_h_> jrwren: debs of your .py?
[21:38] <rick_h_> jrwren: or just debs in general?
[21:39] <rick_h_> jrwren: either way I guess I don't know enough to say anyway. Toss it out to G+ or the like and I can RT and see if someone has opinions
[22:05] <jrwren> rick_h_: thanks, yes, I'll G+ it.
[22:43] <snap-l> https://plus.google.com/100139456300784928828/posts/BUjUvbtUVvP
[22:43] <snap-l> Apparently ratshack is on G+
[22:51] <brousch> I posted a video to Facebook and this is the actual text of the email I received when it was done processing: "You video is now ready to view on Facebook!"
[22:51] <brousch> That email must be sent out thousands of times a day
[22:52] <snap-l> They probably have an orbital satellite sending those emails.
[22:52] <greg-g> brousch: with the typo or without?
[23:25] <brousch> greg-g: With the typo
[23:26] <greg-g> brousch: hilarious
[23:26] <greg-g> (delayed)
[23:39] <rick_h_> doh, reformatted and forgot to set back up NAS rsync. 50GB more to go.
