< randall> and he didn't know what happened

< ckape> If only they had forked something easier to merge.

The (mistaken) idea that choices are good perhaps stems from the
(equally mistaken) idea that lack of choices is bad. This is simply
not true, as Mancur Olson points out in his book, The Logic of
Collective To say a situation or hopeless is in one sense equivalent
to saying it is perfect, for in both cases efforts at improvement can
bring no positive results.

< eythian> teferi: no, we have reasonable amounts of flat land. This city though is 
           known for its hills
< eythian> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_street <-- this is a few blocks down 
           the road from here.
< eythian> we have a lot of hills and mountains, but a fair few plains, too. Just, not 
           right where I am now.
< rasher> > In April 2001 a 19-year-old University of Otago student was killed when she 
          and another student attempted to travel down the street inside a wheelie bin. 
< rasher> That sounds spectacularly stupid
< teferi> That seems -yeah
< rasher> Turnst out it was
< eythian> yeah, the comment at the time was that it was a wheelie stupid thing to do.

In out 'er skie they flaewed,
'Twa' hae'way tae the Muin,
Wha' bonnie spacemen's O₂ tank
Di' swidden go kabuim;

They shuivered in a scarful cold
Di' brathe a shallow breath.
Tha' patch'd it up wi' tape-o-duct;
And di' they 'scape their death.

"'Twas fealure not an option,"
Did good Ed Harris sae;
And so the bonnie Forrest Gump
Did live anither day!

CMS's do fill a vacuum, but I have yet to meet one that doesn't
remind me of the words of Rob Pike.
