<UmbralRaptop> (my work machine has 4 GiB of RAM. It sounds like a typical 2015 laptop can't run Slack?)
<whitequark> no it'd just crash more often
<UmbralRaptop> Crashing like a 90s OS?
<whitequark> dunno win98 seemed pretty stable to me
<UmbralRaptop> It was way better than eg: 3.1, but I was still afraid of leaving anything running for more than a day.

<SnoopJeDi> Charlie Duke: a really cool guy
<SnoopJeDi> He even mentioned the LGC in his remembrance of the Apollo program, which is lucky because they ran over on time and the Q&A will be done retroactively :|
UmbralRaptop is now known as UninsuredRaptor
<UninsuredRaptor> eek
<SnoopJeDi> I hadn't known about the "Lunar Olympics" he and John Young did on Apollo 16. He showed a clip of them jumping and goofing off, and then there he goes rolling over onto his back and about to land on his life support backpack O_O
<UninsuredRaptor> o_O
<kmath> YouTube - Lunar Olympics - Astronauts jumping in 1/6 earth gravity
<UninsuredRaptor> So, apparently GMU didn't email me about the enrollment period for their health insurance plan.
<UninsuredRaptor> Also, the RomneyCare options are, uh, considerably more expensive.
<SnoopJeDi> That seems like they failed an obligation then and you might be eligible for recompense?
<SnoopJeDi> (in a just world)
<UninsuredRaptor> quite possibly
<SnoopJeDi> Have you spoken with whoever in your admin is in charge of that?
<SnoopJeDi> (dept-scale admin is an alarmingly powerful resource if you can keep on their good side)
<UninsuredRaptor> yes, they're looking into it (and it seemed like something had gone amiss)
<SnoopJeDi> ah
