@maple hi maple!!! i'm sam!

Huh, so now there's a booette and a chompette to join bowsette

Place your bets on what the next one will be, I'm thinking it might be bullet billette

@arielmt It gets better, almost everyone in the room was a career diplomat

Career diplomats who are pretty much hard wired to maintain protocol at all times

Those people laughed directly in his face

@maple I do like allie's alot alot

English is mutable, everyone knows what you're getting at when you write "alot" so feel free to write it as "alot" rather than "a lot"

Thus spake the octopus

My sister wants a hedgehog cafe and a hedgehog house for her garden

Hedgehog cafe plans are fairly nailed down and I'm halfway through making one of those, now I'm working out what I'm doing for houses (the ones we've got were made a while ago and I think I can improve on the design)

So far the main points are taller and with a nice long entryway

Also going to need something for more ventilation since it's effectively a closed box

@maple vim'll do that if you've got two windows open in the same instance, just do ":set scb" in all the windows you want to scroll at the same time

also there's a plugin for atom https://atom.io/packages/scroll-sync

@maple ooh, cool!

@maple I know he's done a build of the spikenzie labs kit, can't remember if he's done one of these though

haven't seen anything in depth about the programming, I'll have to look that up

@maple on the subject I found a neat kit for a 1974 Sinclair Scientific calculator which is a lot less money

@maple it really is, I'd really like one of the credit card sized ones to take around with me but 80 quid for a calculator is too much

@maple there's a company called swissmicros that make replicas of them, they do credit card sized ones as well!

Sadly not open source though

@maple hm... I can't say I'm really missing much with us not having full text search

I'd say only do it if you fancy messing around with elasticsearch, otherwise don't bother

🎶 the dove shack is a little old place where... COOO COOOO COOOOO COOOOO

@SuricrasiaOnline Suricrasia Online On-the-Air!

The Leave camp have now complained that the EU is "using time against us"

https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/shanker-singham-from-the-institute-of-economic-affairs-makes-a-bizarre-claim-1-5708559

Yes, because the tricksy europeans have very cunningly assured that despite all odds time continues to tick along at one second per second

Well, the ending was a little disappointing

Felt a bit rushed and Nadia just went all out moustache twirling villain

@rey nah, that's the australian version of it

@rey this kind of trial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheepdog_trial

Watching a dog judge with a wig would be far more entertaining
