But how does it taste? Usually it takes some work to make a Capon Aviagen sent a team of scientists to Sanderson last autumn to study the issue and has acknowledged that an undisclosed change it made to the breed's genetics made the birds "very sensitive" to being overfed, he said. "We fed him too much. He got fat. When he got big, he did not breed as much as he was intended to," Cockrell said about the breed of rooster.

00:00	asciilifeform	decimation: less than $5k << one with no optics, yes
00:00	decimation	Things are getting better comrades
00:01	decimation	I don't think you would be placing fine pitch parts without optics
00:01	asciilifeform	decimation: believe or not, the sub-$10k (new) chinese machines seem to lack optics.
00:02	asciilifeform	decimation: they're meant to work with hand-holding (if you ask me, that defeats the purpose of a robot)
00:02	decimation	heh yeah I agree
00:03	decimation	the uber kidnapper is a layered story
00:04	decimation	failures in silly-con valley, failures in DC government, failures in DC infrastructure

00:10	TheNewDeal	decimation "When they left their meeting there, they thought about taking Uber, but the wait was too long, so they took a cab instead."
00:10	decimation	heh yeah
00:11	TheNewDeal	on a similar note, I just used Lyft for the first time last week, and it worked out without a kidnapping
00:12	TheNewDeal	was trying to get a ride home from the airport, brother was asleep, ended up paying $9 after the $25 first time discount
00:12	decimation	one wonders about the remarkable tolerance supposedly rich people in the US have for such poor public services
00:14	BingoBoingo	Foghorn Leghorn weeps http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/07/10/impotent_roosters_chicken_prices_are_rising_because_of_genetic_problems.html
00:14	assbot	Impotent roosters: Chicken prices are rising because of genetic problems.
00:14	TheNewDeal	which public services are you speaking of decimation?
00:14	decimation	Isn't Lyft the one that works on "donations"
00:14	TheNewDeal	yes
00:14	TheNewDeal	and they refer to all their customers as "friends"
00:14	decimation	well, the taxi inspector who encouraged a high speed chase to settle some paperwork
00:15	decimation	then the fact that DC can't keep its radio system running
00:15	TheNewDeal	ahhh gotcha
00:15	decimation	and apparently the backup is ... sit in the cop station and eat donuts
00:15	decimation	england was very well policed before the telegraph

00:31	TheNewDeal	was hoping for a negative, no clue why
00:33	BingoBoingo	The thing about betting for a negative is that even if nextchange is estimated negative the first many days of a period, new hash is going to bleed all over your whites the last couple days
00:34	TheNewDeal	very true
00:34	TheNewDeal	which is why I have not bet on the negative
00:34	BingoBoingo	Then again... Maybe August gets really hot?
00:34	TheNewDeal	hottest on record :P
