| penguin42 | hmm | 20:14 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | so, Sainsbury's carrots use a right single quotation mark., every other product uses an apostrophe | 20:14 |
| daftykins | did it break your price scraping, or? | 20:15 |
| penguin42 | no, but when I print out the pdf I get a blob just on the carrots and wondered why; even on the webpage it uses the single quotation mark, I've not figured out what's happening in the PDF yet | 20:17 |
| daftykins | ooh | 20:17 |
| daftykins | at least the blob isn't on real carrots... ;) | 20:17 |
| penguin42 | perhaps I should peel my pdf? | 20:18 |
| daftykins | definitely, or just chop down the middle - but call it a 'bisect' as you do it ;) | 20:20 |
| penguin42 | podofium's text extract on the pdf shows (0.000,0.000) ? so it's not okular doing it | 20:22 |
| penguin42 | where as the parsnip's have (0.000,0.000) ' | 20:23 |
| daftykins | i don't think any really should have an apostrophe | 20:23 |
| penguin42 | it's possessive to Sainsubry's isn't it? | 20:24 |
| daftykins | but of the veg | 20:25 |
| penguin42 | oh, no, it's in their name | 20:25 |
| penguin42 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainsbury%27s | 20:28 |
| daftykins | not of the veg names though, it'd be unneeded on a product page say | 20:30 |
| penguin42 | but that is the name of their supermarket; so it makes as much sense as putting Asda or Tesco; I'd rather they didn't - it makes finding stuff on the list harder | 20:31 |
| daftykins | i really just mean when you wrote "parsnip's" :D | 20:32 |
| daftykins | and well, the reference to them doing similar with the carrots | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | oh, yes they don't do that - that was me | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | I'm only talking about the ' between the y and s | 20:33 |
| daftykins | ooh we might have to give davef any jaffa cakes you have at home ;) | 20:33 |
| penguin42 | fortunately that's easy | 20:34 |
| penguin42 | I have no jaffa cakes | 20:34 |
| daftykins | phew, neither of us will be raided | 20:36 |
| penguin42 | I dont think I have any orange marmalade either, so I can't generate any | 20:36 |
| daftykins | that'd be like baiting him | 20:37 |
| penguin42 | I mean I do have oranges, so... | 20:38 |
| * daftykins looks at ripples starting in a cup of water | 20:40 | |
| penguin42 | good point, perhaps we can form it all out of the quantum vacuum energy | 20:44 |
| penguin42 | where jaffacakes and oreos randomly spring into existence and then annihilate | 20:45 |
| daftykins | i was just going a little Jurassic Park on you there | 20:45 |
| penguin42 | oh, sorry, yes I hadn't noticed that | 20:46 |
| daftykins | maybe if you did make some homemade jaffa cakes, i could quote the Jeff Goldblum line about scentists not stopping to think if they should :D | 20:46 |
| zxmpi | how will we know they're not evil universe jaffa cakes? | 20:46 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: You eat a box full and see what happens | 20:46 |
| * davef sniffs the air | 21:30 | |
| daftykins | keep perfectly still... his vision is based on cake movement... | 21:30 |
| * zxmpi rolls cellophane wrapper of jaffa cakes into the waiting trap | 22:47 | |
| * penguin42 tosses a stale Eccles cake to distract him | 22:51 | |
