[11:38] <wolfger> morning
[11:39] <wolfger> everybody have a good weekend?
[12:24] <mrgoodcat> morning
[12:28] <cmaloney> morning
[12:28] <cmaloney> tiiiired
[13:21] <mrgoodcat> me 2
[14:17] <wolfger> $tiredusers++;
[16:01] <cmaloney> Microsoft bought LinkedIn
[16:01] <cmaloney> for 26.2 Billion?
[16:02] <cmaloney> sorry, buying
[16:03] <Zimdale> Now to see what the outcome of that will be...
[16:03] <Zimdale> how linkedin will change to fit M$
[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
[16:04] <Zimdale> Probably will end well for the founders of linkedin
[16:05] <cmaloney> no doubt
[16:05] <cmaloney> I'm very glad I deleted my LinkedIn account a while ago
[16:06] <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
[16:09] <Zimdale> I wonder what M$ projects the ROI to be on linkedin
[16:11] <Zimdale> maaaaan and stock took a 50% jump today
[16:12] <_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
[16:13] <Zimdale> when it took a 50% drop
[19:42] <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)
[19:43] <cmaloney> greg-g: depends on the circumstances, but most of the time they fall under the a-hole moniker
[19:44] <mrgoodcat> like in the street in front of their house?
[19:44] <greg-g> yeah
[19:44] <mrgoodcat> or a breakdown on the road?
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <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
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <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
