| cmaloney | Microsoft bought LinkedIn | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | for 26.2 Billion? | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | sorry, buying | 16:02 |
| Zimdale | Now to see what the outcome of that will be... | 16:03 |
| Zimdale | how linkedin will change to fit M$ | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Hah | 16:03 |
| Zimdale | does make working at linkedin look less appealing | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | I don't see this ending well | 16:03 |
| Zimdale | Probably will end well for the founders of linkedin | 16:04 |
| cmaloney | no doubt | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | I'm very glad I deleted my LinkedIn account a while ago | 16:05 |
| cmaloney | I didn't need to have the classmates.com of work. | 16:06 |
| Zimdale | Ehhhh | 16:06 |
| Zimdale | linkedin has gotten me my past 2 jobs | 16:06 |
| Zimdale | so I can't complain | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it does have is uses | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | its | 16:06 |
| Zimdale | But to a certain extent it is kind of a joke | 16:06 |
| Zimdale | kind of like flickr followers | 16:06 |
| Zimdale | I wonder what M$ projects the ROI to be on linkedin | 16:09 |
| Zimdale | maaaaan and stock took a 50% jump today | 16:11 |
| _stink_ | yep i'm sure you were all holding LNKD stock weren't you | 16:12 |
| Zimdale | lol | 16:12 |
| Zimdale | hopefully that was purchased after feb | 16:12 |
| Zimdale | when it took a 50% drop | 16:13 |
| greg-g | what's the slang term for a mechanic/person who fixes cars who works on them in the street? | 19:42 |
| greg-g | "street mechanic" means something different than what I thought (according to DDG) | 19:42 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: depends on the circumstances, but most of the time they fall under the a-hole moniker | 19:43 |
| mrgoodcat | like in the street in front of their house? | 19:44 |
| greg-g | yeah | 19:44 |
| mrgoodcat | or a breakdown on the road? | 19:44 |
| greg-g | but not the person who owns the car | 19:45 |
| cmaloney | Is this part of their income / business? | 19:45 |
| greg-g | someone who comes to your car and helps you get it started/whatever | 19:45 |
| mrgoodcat | i wonder why the garage doesn't work | 19:45 |
| mrgoodcat | oh i get it | 19:45 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: think low income guys just doing odd-jobs | 19:45 |
| cmaloney | Oh, different circumstances. | 19:45 |
| mrgoodcat | like when a doctor makes a housecall | 19:45 |
| greg-g | yeah | 19:45 |
| greg-g | I thought I heard a term for it a long time ago, like "gutter wrench" or something | 19:46 |
| mrgoodcat | https://www.yourmechanic.com/ | 19:46 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Only thing that comes to mind is tow-trick driver and that doesn't always follow | 19:46 |
| cmaloney | roadside mechanic | 19:46 |
| greg-g | thanks for helpful answers :) (just not the slang term I thought I knew ;) ) | 19:47 |
| cmaloney | np | 19:47 |
| greg-g | is yourmechanic some kind of "uber for" thing? | 19:47 |
| mrgoodcat | must be | 19:47 |
| greg-g | interesting | 19:47 |
| cmaloney | I'm sure there's a slang term but unfortunately the only one that I know I call bro-in-law | 19:47 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: :) yeah, I call mine my new neighbor CJ :) | 19:48 |
| cmaloney | and none of the slang we use for him would be applicable in a general sense. | 19:48 |
| cmaloney | hah | 19:48 |
| cmaloney | Why not ask him? He might know | 19:48 |
| greg-g | since I just started thinking about it and he's off at a job site (he a big implement operator for a construction firm) | 19:49 |
| greg-g | :P | 19:49 |
| cmaloney | He totally sounds like my dro-in-law | 19:49 |
| cmaloney | if he starts asking for how to hook up a computer to his pressure sensor for figuring out shocks then you'll have his doppelganger. | 19:50 |
| greg-g | hah | 19:50 |
| greg-g | he has all the tools, and a huge/beefy (but not dump'ing) trailer. He can pretty much fix anything | 19:51 |
| greg-g | he replaced all the pipes in their house in a weekend the month after they moved in | 19:51 |
| cmaloney | https://twitter.com/tehawesome/status/742416211191857152/photo/1 <- bad language | 19:51 |
