[01:47] <Scary_Guy> also this: https://egbg.home.xs4all.nl/counterscript.html
[01:47] <Scary_Guy> in PDF too: https://egbg.home.xs4all.nl/english/counters.pdf
[01:48] <Scary_Guy> finally, for the "special cases" there is: http://www.419eater.com/
[03:08] <jrwren> I think flav is working here: https://news.engin.umich.edu/2018/01/internet-scanning-u-m-startup-offers-new-approach-to-cybersecurity/
[03:19] <Scary_Guy> A. you mean that wasn't happening already?  and B. you don't mean Flavor Flav, do you.
[03:20] <Scary_Guy> I still say we need a unicode character for rhetorical questions
[04:10] <Alobar500> i didn't know there was a MI ubuntu team
[04:12] <Scary_Guy> this is more of a general chat
[04:13] <Scary_Guy> like people who use Ubuntu (and other *nix) who live in MI
[04:13] <Alobar500> cool. Port Huron here.
[04:13] <Scary_Guy> welcome, I'm in Madison Heights
[04:14] <Alobar500> Nice. I'm an IRC novice. Where should I go for help with a booting problem? I've tried google for the past month to no avail.
[04:14] <Scary_Guy> also you should check out mug.org even though you're kind of far.  they cast the meetings on youtube.
[04:15] <Alobar500> ok will do thanks.
[12:12] <cmaloney> Good morning
[12:29] <rick_h> morning
[12:31] <cmaloney> How's the day so far?
[13:26] <n0p> jrwren: yup, that's the place
[13:37] <jrwren> someone should have pointed Alobar500 to askubuntu.com :(
[13:54] <cmaloney> What's that? :)
[13:59] <jrwren> cmaloney: ouch!
[14:05] <jrwren> so... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-30/amazon-berkshire-jpmorgan-to-set-up-a-health-company-for-staff   does this remind anyone of UAW & HAP in the 70s & 80s?
[14:08] <cmaloney> only slightly
[14:17] <cmaloney> Honestly I'm not sure why comanies aren't lobbying more for single payer health-care
[14:19] <jrwren> i think they are, its just that health companies are lobbying more :)
[14:26] <cmaloney> ugh
[15:43] <brousch> When I brought it up with my old boss (small businesses) he told me that he uses health care as a differentiator to hire the best people
[15:46] <jrwren> That is one option.
[15:46] <jrwren> Another option is: all the best employers already provide really great health care. They have to, or people would leave.
[15:56] <rick_h> jrwren: I think that there's a line there though. It's kind of a top X% that's true but there's a whole world below that threshold
[15:59] <jrwren> rick_h: absolutely.
