[12:35] <rick_h_> morning
[12:40] <_stink_> yo
[12:41] <rick_h_> momma?
[12:49] <_stink_> i'm not yo momma!
[12:51] <_stink_> i'm discovering that as one adds kids and as those kids get older, there's a tipping point where more dirty dishes are generated than can be cleaned in one dishwasher load per day
[12:51] <_stink_> so even if i unload/load/run overnight without fail
[12:52] <_stink_> there is still a growing pile on the counter
[12:52] <_stink_> my #firstworldproblems reaction is to conclude that i need a bigger dishwasher
[12:52] <brousch> _stink_: You just need to run it after each meal
[13:20] <cmaloney> _stink_: You need two dishwashers
[13:20] <jrwren> lol.
[13:20] <cmaloney> just remove the cabinets that would be used for dishes and install a new dishwasher
[13:20] <cmaloney> problem: solved.
[13:20] <jrwren> reuse your dishes.
[13:21] <jrwren> you don't need clean ones every meal.
[13:22] <cmaloney> Use paper plates and say a big FU to the environment.
[13:23] <cmaloney> or plastic plates
[13:23] <_stink_> haha
[13:24] <_stink_> disposable plastic plates are the best answer
[13:26] <_stink_> Glad markets these 'take and toss' plastic food containers
[13:26] <_stink_> mostly for kids i think
[13:26] <_stink_> they are just regular plastic containers, marketed as 'use once, throw away'
[13:26] <_stink_> makes me very sad
[13:41] <jrwren> me too.
[13:41] <jrwren> we throw very little away
[13:41] <jrwren> can get away with taking out the garbage once a month.
[13:42] <cmaloney> jrwren: Wow
[13:42] <cmaloney> Get a cat. That'll change things. :)
[13:43] <jrwren> cmaloney: no way
[13:43] <_stink_> once we are done with diapers i hope we have a lot less
[13:43] <_stink_> er well, we will have a lot less
[13:43] <cmaloney> _stink_: That'll likely be in 2020
[13:43] <cmaloney> ;)
[13:44] <_stink_> at this rate you aren't far off
[13:44] <jrwren> recycling and compost gets taken out much more often, if that subdues your surprise :)
[13:44] <jrwren> sometimes recycling gets filled with amazon cardboard in mere days
[13:44] <cmaloney> jrwren: I wish they took more as recycling
[13:44] <jrwren> cmaloney: AA takes a lot
[13:44] <rick_h_> they let us leave the boxes out of the recycling bin
[13:45] <rick_h_> and we bought the larger recycling roller bin
[13:45] <rick_h_> vs the little box
[13:45] <rick_h_> we fill that every week :/
[13:45] <rick_h_> 2 bins of mixed recycling plus 5 bags/bundles of cardboard and paper products weekly.
[13:46] <rick_h_> http://www.smithsdisposal.net/Services/index.html the red one is the recycling bin we had to buy
[13:52] <jrwren> oh yeah.  AA gives everyone the giant roller bins, becuase a giant truck with mech arm comes and lifts the big roller bins
[13:52] <jrwren> ours are bigger than that, or that woman is 7' tall
[13:52] <rick_h_> for recycling? /me is jealous
[13:54] <cmaloney> yeah, apparnelty AA is our little sancuary of hippie ideals. :)
[13:57] <n0p> \o/ trash, recycle, and compost bins ftw http://www.a2gov.org/departments/field-operations/trash-recycling/Pages/default.aspx
[14:05] <brousch> Wait, you send your compost out?
[14:06] <jrwren> brousch: yes.
[14:06] <jrwren> brousch: city takes it, puts it all together, then gives folks opportunity to come pick it back up when it is black gold.
[14:06] <jrwren> its a nice service.
[14:06] <jrwren> but it better be for what I pay in taxes.
[14:09] <brousch> That is nice. We have a yard waste service for Wyoming
[14:11] <jrwren> brousch: so... this is like that, and I think it started that way
[14:11] <jrwren> but it expanded.
[14:12] <jrwren> about a year ago they said, "go ahead and throw animal food waste in there too."
[14:12] <jrwren> because before vegetable scraps were ok, but animal was not
[14:12] <jrwren> now they take it all.
[14:12] <jrwren> vegetable kitchen scraps aren't much different from yard waste anyway
[14:13] <brousch> true
[14:13] <brousch> animal gets stinky though
[14:33] <jrwren> that is why the compost is outside :)
[15:53] <_stink_> jrwren: i'm reusing a plate for lunch today in your honor
[16:00] <greg-g> wait, did jrwren become the dirty hippy in my absence?
[16:03]  * brousch sniffs him
[16:04] <jrwren> hahahaha, my flask-api PR from  Mar 24, 2014  merged today.
[16:04] <jrwren> greg-g: yes, I am a dirty hippy.
[16:05] <greg-g> :)
[16:05] <jrwren> greg-g: I garden. I compost. cut my grass with a mechanical that I got from cscheib so I don't have to buy gas.
[16:05] <greg-g> nice!
[16:05] <jrwren> i tear up my lawn to grow veggies
[16:06] <_stink_> <3
[16:06] <_stink_> i am slowly replacing my lawn too
[16:06] <_stink_> jrwren: any complaints about the mechanical mower?
[16:06] <_stink_> i have heard you have to be more diligent
[16:06] <_stink_> as it doesn't handle long grass well
[16:07] <greg-g> _stink_: at that point get a scythe
[16:07] <greg-g> I've always wanted one
[16:08] <jrwren> _stink_: yes, exactly.  this time of year, every 4-5 days. 7 is too long
[16:08] <jrwren> _stink_: its a great workout too.
[16:08] <jrwren> _stink_: so, I like that part, cuz I've not been working otu
[16:09] <jrwren> greg-g: I do have a scythe like thing. I used it a couple days ago because the mech cutter doesn't do mass dandylions very well
[16:09] <greg-g> neat!
[16:09] <_stink_> jrwren: ok thanks. something to consider
[16:09] <jrwren> http://www.amazon.com/Truper-30307-Serrated-Sharpened-30-Inch/dp/B002UDKY88/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431101389&sr=8-1&keywords=weed+cutter
[16:10] <jrwren> waving this thing around is FUN
[16:11] <_stink_> ooo look at all those options of blades
[16:11] <_stink_> makes me want to go... marauding
[16:13] <_stink_> jrwren: do you have to sharpen the blades on the mower often?
[16:16] <jrwren> _stink_: I never have.
[16:16] <jrwren> _stink_: I think it adds to my workout :)
[16:16] <_stink_> haha
[16:16] <greg-g> it's like setting it on HARD
[16:53] <cmaloney> I wish I could cut our grass with our mechanical mower
[16:54] <cmaloney> unfortunately it grows like crazy
[16:55] <cmaloney> And our yard is crazy-hilly.
[16:55] <cmaloney> Previous owners ran a greyhound rescue or some shit
[16:55] <cmaloney> so lots of ruts
[16:59] <brousch> jrwren: The person who merged your flask-api PR is a member of the GRPUG
[16:59] <brousch> It is all connected!
[16:59] <rick_h_> brousch: jrwren very cool on the flask pr
[17:02] <brousch> I like my plug-in electric lawn mower and weed whacker
[17:03] <brousch> No gas, light enough to hang on the wall
[17:13] <jrwren> i was more amused by teh flask-api pr being 13mo old
[17:16] <brousch> I was amused by Jace saying he was taking over maintenance of flask-api because the author lacked time, and now see he is cleaning up old stuff
[17:20] <cmaloney> heh
[18:52] <brousch> I'm always confused when people like this follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/DrPhiltill
[18:53] <brousch> He's a planetary scientist at NASA who is followed by David Brin
[18:53] <rick_h_> well he's got a lovely script to get to 39k follows
[18:53] <brousch> That seems reasonable for an actual rocket scientist
[18:53] <rick_h_> I don't think he's picked out by hand 39,000 people to follow
[18:54] <rick_h_> brousch: for him to follow?
[18:54] <rick_h_> he's followed by 43k
[18:54] <brousch> But what could I possibly be doing that he cares about?
[18:54] <rick_h_> who knows, it's a script
[18:54] <rick_h_> you did some combination of something that hit an api call
[18:55] <rick_h_> you were mentioned, or on a 'recent posts' page, or who knows
[18:55] <brousch> Even 1 of 39,000 is elite
[19:00] <greg-g> brousch: it happened to me on instagram recently, I followed one musician, so another (less well known) followed me
