[11:32] <rick_h_> morning
[12:28] <_stink_> yo
[12:32] <brousch> I love the Python community. I contacted the PyImageSearch guy and he sent me a free hard copy of his book to give away at the next GRPUG (which is a talk about OpenCV)
[12:34] <brousch> I'm less enthused about O'Reilly's "partnering" changes. It's all ebooks now
[12:34] <cmaloney> good morning
[12:35] <cmaloney> brousch: yeah.
[12:35] <cmaloney> though I completely understand the change
[12:35] <brousch> I guess, but it was so nice to get a box of relevant books from them
[12:35] <cmaloney> si si
[12:36] <brousch> I was spoiled
[12:36] <cmaloney> heh, us too
[13:17] <jrwren> egon was right, print is dead
[13:27] <mrgoodcat> so many things are dead and people don't even know it yet
[13:28] <jrwren> mrgoodcat: whoa deep.
[13:28] <mrgoodcat> books (paper of any kind really), cable tv, landlines, privacy, etc
[13:29] <jrwren> life is time before death.
[13:29] <mrgoodcat> i got sling tv and a digital antenna
[13:29] <mrgoodcat> 1000 times happier than when i was paying for cable
[13:29] <mrgoodcat> sling tv is targeted squarely at people like me who hate paying for cable or who never have (read millenials)
[13:30] <mrgoodcat> millennials*
[13:38] <brousch> Print is dying. It's not dead yet.
[13:41] <jrwren> print will never die before me. You can have my paper book from my cold dead heads.
[13:59] <cmaloney> The Roku is perfect for us because I have a hard time paying for something that is pre-programmed with stuff I couldn't care less about
[13:59] <cmaloney> and paying handsomely at that
[14:04] <jrwren> i would really like a programmed channel for kodi, that would be really cool.
[14:05] <jrwren> channels even, so I could say, when you click this channel it plays this content at this time of day.
[14:06] <cmaloney> Well, I understand the need for live programming
[14:06] <cmaloney> I get that in spades
[14:06] <cmaloney> but having pre-programmed content that can't be changed (eg: it's a Pawn Stars Marathon) is pretty silly.
[14:07] <cmaloney> I know some folks use TV as background noise though so maybe I'm the fuddy-duddy here.
[14:21] <jrwren> I love a good NCIS marathon on USA :)
[14:45] <mrgoodcat> i use my tv as background noise
[14:46] <mrgoodcat> usa not a OTA channel and not on sling so i dont get it anymore
[14:46] <jrwren> mrgoodcat: I always disliked that. I know that many many people do it.
