<kmath> <skydavidblevins> BREAK: DUP has NOT yet reached any agreement with the Tories. Sky sources: Downing Street issued the wrong statement in error.
<Iskierka> 404 Govt not Found
* UmbralRaptor is half expecting 418 errors at this point.
<Iskierka> "The RFC specifies this code should be returned by teapots requested to brew coffee." ... I think as of the past few years this now actually needs to be seriously implemented
<Iskierka> although, teapots requested to brew coffee?
<UmbralRaptor> Compatability is probably doable for some brewing methods.
<Iskierka> also DUP does not negotiate on sundays, so on sundays a left alliance has a majority
<kmath> <PositiveLad> @MxJackMonroe It's only two more elections until Christmas though!
<UmbralRaptor> Congratulations. You might exceed the US in election frequency!

icefire has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<UmbralRaptor> He gets at least some respect for following through.
<Pinkbeast> I think the way all his Twitter notifications were people telling him to eat the book may have gotten to him
<Pinkbeast> He complained about Corbynistas telling him to which produced a tidal wave of mostly not-Corbynistas
<UmbralRaptor> hah
<Pinkbeast> I think I've resolved only to vow publicly to eat my ham. "No, it wasn't a typo, sorry"
<Pinkbeast> Oh, poor kitty :-)

<Pinkbeast> Dear tourist hotel, your Engrish flyer encouraging us to come to the Victory with a word soup full of Capitals Disease and "traditional British" perhaps should not describe hamburgers as traditionally British, I'm pretty sure some of your guests know where Hamburg is

<Pinkbeast> Guess who has one seatstay :-(
<Iskierka> ?
<Pinkbeast> The piece of pipe going between the rear axle of a bicycle and the junction of the seatpost and top tube. Conventionally, alas, a bicycle has two
<Iskierka> sounds like it's time to be unconventional
<Iskierka> (what happened?)
<Pinkbeast> Rust and time - the bicycle is over 25 years old
<UmbralRaptor> egg: Does CH do them at a minimum every 2 years, with effectively 2 rounds, for potentially a dozen or more offices?
<egg> you do know about swiss direct democracy, right?
<UmbralRaptor> o_O
<UmbralRaptor> (as best I'm aware, states here stick all their referendums on normal election days)
<egg> UmbralRaptor: mind you, those are only the federal referenda

<Iskierka> ... my laptop keeps being silly. Unplugged it around this time yesterday to use a glue gun. Forgot to plug it back in. 32% remaining
<Pinkbeast> Oh, come _on_ Victorian writers, if the ship sinks, just have it sink. You've been FORESHADOWING it for about a week
<Iskierka> what's it doing instead?
<Pinkbeast> It has eventually sank, it was just telegraphed about a million miles off
<Pinkbeast> QC has had an awful lot about robot bottoms recently
<Pinkbeast> There is, however, a sort of anti-Song of Ice and Fire process at work where whenever someone has outlived their usefulness to the plot they are immediately killed off, which keeps the book moving
<Iskierka> as opposed to remaining far too long when they're not useful and being killed off when they are?
<Pinkbeast> Mmm. None of these endless "what is Steve Lannister doing? He is eating cereal and murdering prostitutes" chapters. What is Mr Meeson doing? Being dead
<Pinkbeast> Bill and Johnnie? Dead. Lord Holmhurst? Dead. Captain thingy? Dead. Mr Towney? Well, you get the idea.
<Pinkbeast> "In short, they were anxious to establish a legal dong firm of the most approved pattern" I wonder if this is an OCR typo or if the word has shifted meaning
<kmath> <ManyATrueNerd> Just in case you're wondering what Brexit means - it includes less safe drugs and bulldozing wildlife sanctuaries. https://t.co/YEPvTGcUOe
<UmbralRaptor> Pinkbeast: I'd say anything but FPTP, but SNTV is somehow worse.
* Iskierka is unclear how exactly FPTP is differentiated from SNTV
<UmbralRaptor> SNTV is I suppose a more general case of FPTP.
<Pinkbeast> The joke's not going to work if no-one votes no, maybe I should create three sockpuppets
<UmbralRaptor> Please do not detonate the diapsids. https://twitter.com/diodebot/status/873973175239016448
<kmath> <diodebot> anti-owl explosive diode
<UmbralRaptor> Pinkbeast: hah!
<icefire> its pretty hard to be worse than FPTP
<Iskierka> after a bit of parsing I see how SNTV is worse. Basically FPTP has area or position or other divisions such that people can only apply for one; SNTV there's just one list of applicants and positions are filled by going down the list
<Pinkbeast> Particularly SNTV has this characteristic that with n positions up for grabs it can be suboptimal to run n candidates
<Iskierka> unless you just happen to control who can apply and have n friends
