06:26 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:28  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:31 < aestetix> I'm watching an episode of The Apprentice
06:31 < aestetix> never seen it before
06:31 < aestetix> every contestant on this show is a fucking idiot
06:32 <@Dolemite> They're definitely not what I'd consider the "cream of the crop"
06:32 <@Dolemite> But that wouldn't make for "exciting tv"
06:35 < aestetix> I'm impressed by how stupid they are

06:50 <@Dolemite> Man, Kickstarter really needs to start saying NO to some of these "inventions" that people run through them that aren't inventions...  they're just remarketing of things that I already see in stores
07:09 < _NSAKEY> Dolemite: Worse is the snake oil like the Anonabox.
07:09 <@Dolemite> Do who to what?
07:10 <@Dolemite> So it's basically an RPi in a fancy case?
07:10 < _NSAKEY> http://mashable.com/2014/11/11/anonabox-returns/#3tHxh5X7ikqf
07:10 < PigBot> Title: Suspended Kickstarter project Anonabox resurfaces on Indiegogo (at mashable.com) http://tinyurl.com/hspxbcu
07:10 < _NSAKEY> It's not even that. It's some shit you can buy off AliExpress.
07:12 <@Dolemite> ah
07:12 < _NSAKEY> Found it. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Brand-Original-WT32020A-Mini-Wifi-Router-Portable-wall-wifi-repeater-AP-Mobile-storage-Wifi-Bridge-for/1164295_1807742363.html

07:13 < _NSAKEY> Apparently it was retailing for $18 at the time Anonabox was selling its particular strain of snake oil.
07:14 <@Dolemite> Well I was referring to an ad that Facebook suggested for me, given my proclivity to post about Scouts and camping, a "camping kitchen system" that is nothing more than putting together about 4-5 things that I see at the Lodge Factory Outlet
07:14 <@Dolemite> Oh, and a carrying bag
07:14 <@Dolemite> That's the innovation!
07:15 < _NSAKEY> That's pretty sorry.
07:16 < _NSAKEY> That might work is A. It's stated up front that the "project" is an effort to buy in bulk so everyone gets a discount, and B. Nobody cares about the ETA on the goods.
07:17 < _NSAKEY> Still kind of a silly idea, even then.
07:32 < aestetix> god damnit
07:33 < aestetix> Europeans are having a fucking field day with Donald Trump
07:33 < aestetix> I am gonna have to start telling them I'm canadian
07:34 < aestetix> "oh you're from the US? what's going on with donald trump?"
07:34 < aestetix> every conversation
07:34 < aestetix> If I never read a news article ever again, I'd still hear every detail of him :(
07:36 < aestetix> rattle: donald trump
07:36 < _NSAKEY> aestetix: You could use these opportunities to spread Facebook-like fake news about him.
07:36 < _NSAKEY> Or hell, just quote The Onion with a straight face.
07:42 < aestetix> Hmmm.
07:43 < aestetix> Has there been any other president in history who actively declared war on a specific media outlet?
07:43 < aestetix> Nixon hated the media, but I don't think he called for a specific outlet to go out of business
07:48 <@Dolemite> OMG, just read where Trump has asked for his son-in-law to also get the Presidential Daily Brief
07:50 < aestetix> .....
07:53 < aestetix> to be fair
07:53 < aestetix> he craves attention
07:54 < aestetix> and every day multiple stories keep coming out
07:54 < aestetix> he's loving this
07:54 <@Dolemite> I think it's more of a sign that he never expected to win, and he didn't want to win because he doesn't want to do the job.  Now he wants to farm it out to his family to do the job.
07:56 < aestetix> What do you think are the chances he'll say "fuck it" and quit?
07:56 <@Dolemite> I think he's going to get away with as much as the public will let him get away with
07:57 <@Dolemite> Right now the public thinks he's just being a maverick and bucking the norms
07:57 <@Dagmar> No, that's what the press is claiming.
07:58 <@Dagmar> The actual public is more or less certain he's spending a lot of time figuratively walking face-first into walls.
07:59 <@rattle> This whole thing is an epic clusterfuck.
07:59 <@Dolemite> Think what you will.  I am deep in red country and a lot of what I'm seeing reported is pretty fucking accurate - people are believing the Conservative Daily (and other pseudo fake alt-right news sites) spin on everything

08:03 < aestetix> One thing I'l lsay
08:03 < aestetix> Guiliani for Secretary of State is one of the stupidest moves I could imagine
08:04 < aestetix> This is Dashcon levels of planning.
08:04 < _NSAKEY> Guiliani for Presidential Pooper Scooper Operator would be a bad idea.
08:04 <@Dolemite> Do we all get extra time in the ball pit?
08:04 <@Dagmar> Hell, start saving your bottle caps now
08:05 <@Dagmar> It's going to take a lot of them to buy the radiation treatments you'll need
08:06 < aestetix> I'm reminded of the leaked argument a couple of 14 year old Dashcon organizers were having about who was going to speak
08:07 < aestetix> I don't remember the name of the speakers being argued about, but they were apparently well known celebrities in the brony/tumblr community
08:07 < _NSAKEY> "14 year old Dashcon organizers."
08:07 < _NSAKEY> Why are minors being given that much responsibility?
08:07 < aestetix> _NSAKEY: you missed that drama, didn't you
08:07 <@Dagmar> It was hilarious
08:08 < _NSAKEY> aestetix: I read about it, but didn't care enough to do a deep dive.
08:08 < aestetix> It was a group of teenagers arguing about who was going to speak in such and such slots
08:08 < aestetix> I don't think they realized you have to contact the speaker, see if they are interested, work out logistics, various fees, etc

08:11 < aestetix> The best part was when the hotel tried to kick them out because they came like $7k short on their bill, so they literally passed around a hat, somehow raised enough money to make the hotel shut up, and then sang some song and did that Hunger Games hand symbol thing to show they were victorious

08:51 <@oddball> oh god... Dashcon.
09:09 <@dasunt> brimstone: Hey now, that's unfair.  Trump is giving indications that he'll use the presidency to enrich himself.
09:13 <@Dagmar> I thought he was having his salary donated to "charity"
09:15 <@rattle> Fear and loathing.

09:18 <@rattle> This power transition is on track to be the most disorganized in the modern history of the presidency.
09:23 <@Dagmar> For those wondering about the copper transfer thing I was talkign about at PN http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2012/09/diy-cards-with-copper-foil.html

09:27 <@Dagmar> Now I get to Google about for "premium black photo paper".  heh
09:35 <@Dagmar> I'm thinking maybe I might go with green instead
09:37 <@Dagmar> I suppose I could cheat and just print a full page of black on the inkjet but that seems wasteful somehow
09:49 <@dasunt> Dagmar: Trump's salary is "charity".  But a lot of jobs are going to Trump's family.
09:50 <@Dagmar> No, I literally heard he was planning on not taking salary but instead having it donated to charity
09:50 <@Dagmar> ...to which I thought, if he's going to do it like his other charities, good.  He'll be in jail before his term is up.
09:51 <@dasunt> That's the last I heard as well.  But also the last I heard is that 25% of his transition team is made up of his offspring and their spouses.
09:51 <@dasunt> I haven't checked since a few days ago - reading Trump news without vodka in the house is not a good idea.
09:53 <@dasunt> Theory:  Trump is effectively a civil(ish) revolution in response to the two party system.
09:54 <@dasunt> One that the GOP is trying to control.
09:56 <@dasunt> People looked at the mainstream candidates and rejected them.  Trump came along as a revolutionary leader.  Unfortunately, like many revolutions, it's less about fixing things and more about pitchforks and fires over the current situation.
10:21 <@oddball> So... honest question.  The press has decided to go ape shit over Trump apparently going to dinner with his family without telling them.  Was this an expectation with other president-elects?
10:21 <@oddball> (by press, I mean ABC and CNN both ran actual stories about it)
10:23 <@oddball> oh, and NBC
10:24 <@Evilpig> dasunt: he could say that all day long but if he won't ever show his tax returns you'd never get to verify it.  I call bullshit
10:36 <@rattle> oddball: The press pool never leaves POTUS.  Period.
10:37 <@oddball> That starts pretty much immediately after the election?  Before he's actually sworn in?
10:39 <@dasunt> Evilpig: Are you claiming that Trump would lie to us?
10:39  * dasunt is shocked.
10:39 <@oddball> Ah.  Just found an article from CNN 8 years ago talking about then prez-elect slipping away from the press corp to take his kids to SeaWorld.  So... apparently, yes.

14:23 < TheDukh> press corps normally are around the president and president elect to cover incase of emergencies, from what I recall.  To report to people that the president is alive and so forth, make sure the public is aware and can go "shew, what relief!"
