| cmaloney | brousch: Thank you. :) | 01:07 |
|---|---|---|
| wolfger | Good morning. | 12:11 |
| brousch | yes | 12:20 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 12:23 |
| wolfger | So Ford work was fun for a short while. Now it's feeling like Chrysler... twiddling thumbs and waiting. | 12:25 |
| cmaloney | heh | 13:50 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, Ford and Chrysler are quite similar in many regards. | 13:50 |
| jrwren_ | wolfger: you work for Ford? | 13:51 |
| wolfger | jrwren_: I work for Sandalwood Engineering. We have multiple contracts, including Chrysler and Ford. I used to be a straight-up Chrysler contract worker. Came to Sandalwood about a year ago, and currently working at Ford until the next Chrysler project is ready to go. | 13:53 |
| jrwren_ | wolfger: ah, cool. | 13:53 |
| wolfger | Variety is always nice. I get to taste multiple flavors of corporate inefficiency. :-D | 14:05 |
| wolfger | My favorite inefficiency so far is having to run IE8 in a virtual machine to be able to use a Ford-standard IT system. | 14:06 |
| jrwren_ | ha! | 14:12 |
| cmaloney | Again, not much difference between the two. :) | 14:13 |
| jrwren_ | 'cept for public v. private. | 14:14 |
| jrwren_ | and from what we know, profit v. not. | 14:14 |
| cmaloney | Culturally they were quite similar when I was there | 14:14 |
| cmaloney | with folks inside telling me that "The New New New New Chrysler" is even more paranoid than when I was there. | 14:15 |
| wolfger | cmaloney: confirmed | 14:17 |
| wolfger | Ford, so far, is much nicer atmospherically. | 14:17 |
| wolfger | I am back on IRC, after all :-D | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 14:18 |

| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/r2zGKk - image/png | 15:38 |
| brousch | Gah, bookiebot, come on. "A Judgemental Map of Detroit" ^ | 15:38 |
| cmaloney | Ted Nugent is no longer in Michigan. | 15:40 |
| jrwren_ | cmaloney: lets sing "ding dong the witch is dead." | 15:40 |
| cmaloney | har har | 15:41 |
| wolfger | that map doesn't even cover my city. Phooey. | 15:42 |
| wolfger | So does bookiebot keep a collection of all links posted here? | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: It used to. Not sure if it still does or not. | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | https://bmark.us/bookiebot/recent | 15:59 |
| wolfger | Man, SCO still exists? | 16:00 |
| greg-g | did Ted bug out in his bug out vehicle with all of his guns and shit? | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | I think he moved to Texas because Michigan started taxing him too much | 16:02 |
| cmaloney | Hm, not seeing anything to corroborate that assertion | 16:08 |
| cmaloney | I think he still has land in Michigan. | 16:08 |
| wolfger | "I left Detroit because the liberal Democrats engineered the absolute suicide of this fantastic city with their horrific anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-independence agenda," said Nugent. | 16:11 |
| wolfger | What a loon | 16:11 |
| wolfger | Nugent still owns 300 acres of property in western Jackson County, which is used as a hunting ranch, known as Sunrize Acres, and a part-time residence for the rocker and his family. Nugent's primary residence is Waco, Texas. | 16:14 |
| greg-g | *WACO*?! | 16:14 |
| wolfger | So there you have it... the Motor City Madman is now the Whacko From Waco. | 16:14 |
| greg-g | muthereffing | 16:14 |
| wolfger | but he will keep hunting in Michigan | 16:14 |
| jrwren_ | Waco is a pretty nice city. | 16:15 |
| jrwren_ | beautiful ranches. I think it has a river going through it or something, so its not super dry. | 16:15 |
| wolfger | Yeah, Waco has beautiful ranches... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege | 16:17 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/n6GLx - Waco siege - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | 16:17 |
| jrwren_ | wolfger: yes, Jenett Reno liked to kill inoscent people. She isn't around anymore. | 16:19 |
| wolfger | The truth will likely never be known, but people who believe they are innocent of wrongdoing usually do not fight authorities to the death. | 16:21 |
| cmaloney | I'm not sure you can categorically make that statement | 16:24 |
| wolfger | which statement? | 16:25 |
| cmaloney | "...people who believe they are innocent of wrongdoing usually do not fight authorities to the death." | 16:25 |
| wolfger | I think the qualifier of "usually" makes it true. | 16:26 |
| cmaloney | I'd submit the reverse is more likely | 16:26 |
| jrwren_ | most people would never fight authorities. | 16:26 |
| cmaloney | if you're innocent you'll fight tooth and nail to continue to be seen in that light | 16:26 |
| wolfger | Your statement holds true for the innocent man who has lost all faith in the legal system | 16:27 |
| * greg-g raises hand | 16:27 | |
| wolfger | but most people, in my opinion, have enough faith in the legal system to try the courts over a firefight that logically cannot be won. | 16:27 |
| greg-g | really? I guess my friend circle is biased | 16:27 |
| wolfger | at least, once the tv crews get there, I would feel confident in making it to trial | 16:28 |
| cmaloney | Well, if you're sole organizational purpose is waiting for the eventual breakdown in society and the end of the world having a standoff with armed authorities is the fudge topping to that dessert. | 16:28 |
| wolfger | prior to tv crews arriving, I would be less willing to come out | 16:28 |
| wolfger | cmaloney: good point | 16:28 |
| wolfger | but regarding my statement: I think the number of arrests made without gunfire is a good stat in my favor. :-p | 16:35 |
| jrwren_ | its sad that most people are that naive | 16:45 |
| jrwren_ | number of arrests without gunfire is unrelated. | 16:46 |
| wolfger | I'm not sure I follow your reasoning here. | 16:48 |
| jrwren_ | most arrests have nothing to do with anyone wanting to fight authorities or even fight for freedom. | 16:52 |
| jrwren_ | If I had to guess, I would guess that DUI constitutes most arrests. | 16:52 |
| jrwren_ | If not most, then highest number of a single type | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/persons-arrested | 16:54 |
| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/KoTYSE - FBI — Arrests | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Highest number (outside of traffic violations) is Drug-related | 16:55 |
| cmaloney | Which is pathetic | 16:55 |
| cmaloney | And a good number of those are related to marijuana posession | 16:56 |
| cmaloney | Which is pathetic | 16:56 |
| jrwren_ | cmaloney: nice. | 16:58 |
| wolfger | Yes.... | 16:59 |
| wolfger | and? | 16:59 |
| jrwren_ | wolfger: we are not communicating. | 17:00 |
| wolfger | I'm failing to see how what you're saying is related to what I was talking about. | 17:00 |
| jrwren_ | Its ok. | 17:00 |
| jrwren_ | I don't think I understand you. | 17:00 |
| wolfger | and yes, I agree that the number of arrests for marijuana is very sad | 17:01 |
| wolfger | cmaloney challenged my assertion that "...people who believe they are innocent of wrongdoing usually do not fight authorities to the death.", and I was saying that the number of arrests in which the arrestees do not even attempt to kill the police is kind of a point in my favor. How many of those people believe they are innocent is another, unknowable, matter. | 17:02 |
| jrwren_ | I see. | 17:03 |
| === jrwren_ is now known as jrwren | ||
| jrwren | Number of arrests in those cases specifically supports your statement. | 17:03 |
| wolfger | mostly I'm just trying to keep a conversation going because sitting on my thumbs for 8 hours is painful. I could/should have stayed home. | 17:05 |
| jrwren | :( | 17:05 |
| jrwren | read reddit? | 17:05 |
| wolfger | I'm leary of reddit's sfw-ness | 17:06 |
| jrwren | oh? | 17:06 |
| jrwren | make your own reddit account, unsubscribe from all the defaults and subscribe to good subreddits. | 17:06 |
| wolfger | maybe that's just me ;-) | 17:06 |
| jrwren | it can be very SFW if you use it wisely | 17:06 |
| wolfger | I like to hang out in Funny and WTF, which are iffy and hell-no respectively | 17:07 |
| wolfger | or various gaming reddits, but I've already read those for today and new material doesn't come very quickly | 17:07 |
| wolfger | Brewing and TheBrewery get new content even less frequently | 17:11 |
| wolfger | ...and the person I've been waiting for all day just postponed until "tomorrow afternoon, or Wednesday". I'm outta here. | 17:17 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | Evening. | 23:29 |
