    [garcialo] @kevinchao89: Yes, it's not the most pleasant experience.
  3. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 04:48
    [garcialo] Haven't tried it on Android, but it's pretty good on iOS.
  4. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 05:49
    [kevinchao89] @garcialo: I was trying to post a message, not upload a file using web.
  5. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 05:50
    [garcialo] Yeah, it's not that great. Same with the desktop client.
  6. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 05:54
    [kevinchao89] Only way I can access Slack is iOS
  7. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 05:54
    [garcialo] yeah, that's currently the most accessible
  8. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 05:56
    [garcialo] Still has some issues, but it's definitely usable.
  9. StommePoes

    @lozandier only if the SR passes the keystrokes on
  10. StommePoes
    Mar 14 12:21
    I have no problems writing normal vanilla JS to deal with all of 3 keystrokes, some whole library isn't necessary... but if the SR never passes the keystrokes onto the JS, it doesn't matter either way.
  11. StommePoes
    Mar 14 12:21
    So to force that, you can use role-application, but now you've got 2 problems.
  12. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 16:05
    [skerrvy] there's a good writeup of slack's accessibility limitations (and how some mobile devices can improve it) by Marco Zehe: https://www.marcozehe.de/2016/01/16/status-of-the-accessibility-of-slack/
  13. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 16:25
    [deborah_kaplan] i keep meaning to make a blog post of the bug report I sent slack vis a vis keyboard accessibility (spoiler alert: there is none).
  14. garcialo
    Mar 14 17:10
    I'm pretty sure we've made them quite aware of the issues they have. =)
  15. jnurthen
    Mar 14 17:10
    they have been looking for an accessibility PM for a long time
  16. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 18:07
    If they'd allow remote working they'd have filled it by now…
  17. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 18:08
    [cordelia] Are they still looking?
  18. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 18:08
    Hey Luis, you want to move to SF, Slack is there ;)
  19. jnurthen
    Mar 14 18:08
    they mentioned it at the meetup last week again
  20. Given the product they make, you'd think remote working wouldn't be a problem. Ironic.
  21. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 18:14
    [cordelia] Honestly, I don’t blame them for wanting someone local to start out with. When you’re just embarking on making something accessible, it really helps to sit down with people and walk through screenreader demos, keyboard flows, etc. in person. And I’ve found there are lots of feature areas that need accessibility help that I wouldn’t have known about if not for hallway conversations.
  22. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 18:17
    [cordelia] It’s not essential, but I can see how it would accelerate their a11y progress to have someone local to get things started.
  23. jnurthen
    Mar 14 18:28
    but they have been waiting for that local person for 6 months now....
  24. jnurthen
    Mar 14 18:28
    ;)
  25. powrsurg
    Mar 14 18:28
    remember in the 90's when we thought the internet would mean that we could get the best and brightest from any place in the world?
  26. powrsurg
    Mar 14 18:29
    we also thought VR was going to be a thing ... and well, now it's coming back. Maybe real remote working will pick up at some point
  27. metzessible
    Mar 14 20:38
    Does anybody have a link to an actual official definition of what a complex table is? All I can find is SME explanations of what they're considered to be, and there's no clear agreement of an actual definition.
  28. garcialo
    Mar 14 20:39
    This doesn't look like an explicit definition statement, but it does seem to communicate what is considered complex. https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F90.html
  29. jnurthen
    Mar 14 20:41
    not sure there is an official definition.
  30. metzessible
    Mar 14 20:43
    Unfortunately, techniques aren't normative. Hard to build requirements off of suggestions.
  31. metzessible
    Mar 14 20:48
    The problem I'm having is that several I've come across explain them as tables with cells associated to multiple column or row headers, yet the interpretation on when this constitutes a complex table differs greatly.
  32. garcialo
    Mar 14 20:49
    gotcha
  33. metzessible
    Mar 14 20:52
    For example, what are your opinions on tables with a single row of headers with a single column of headers. Is this considered "complex"? I'm just curious. I would argue that these are not considered complex, but I've seen some suggestions that this is actually the case of a complex table because the cells could theoretically be associated to both the headers in the row as well as those in the column.
  34. garcialo
    Mar 14 20:55
    I would say that 3 cases fit into non-complex; one column header row; one row header column; the previous two smashed together
  35. garcialo
    Mar 14 20:55
    I think the multiple of a type of header row/column make something complex
  36. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 20:58
    [skerrvy] the W3 seems to imply that more than 2 axes equals a complex table. https://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ComplexTables (although I haven't read through all their examples)
  37. jnurthen
    Mar 14 21:03
    my interpreation is whenever there is a colspan or rowspan in the "body" of the table
  38. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:08
    when I did insurance tables, I considered them complex
  39. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:09
    The closest definition I got from someone once was "a complex table is a table so shitty, it shouldn't have been 1 table but multiple"
  40. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:09
    like when I need a thead in the middle of a table, or two rows of thead headings (where there's main groupings and sub-groupings)
  41. metzessible
    Mar 14 21:34
    That W3C wiki article has a lot of dead links unfortunately, and the tables are too complex for my example. The tables I'm thinking of are basically victims of overthinking in my opinion. @StommePoes, your definition would be pretty much every table in my opinion. I hate tables.
  42. jnurthen
    Mar 14 21:35
    good thing you don't work for a DB company :)
  43. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 21:42
    [garcialo] Ugh yeah, that would be the worst
  44. metzessible
    Mar 14 21:44
    DB?
  45. jnurthen
    Mar 14 21:44
    Database - nothing but a bunch of tables
  46. metzessible
    Mar 14 21:46
    Right right. Usually consider DB refers to... something else.
  47. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 21:47
    [garcialo] Das Boot?
  48. jnurthen
    Mar 14 21:49

    Mar 14 21:50
    [karlgroves] dammit
  52. jnurthen
    Mar 14 21:50
    @metzessible what does it usually refer to?
  53. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:52
    I thought "database" so I haz no ideas
  54. \o/
  55. StommePoes

    @jnurthen The term I use throughout the day whilst being forced to work in Word. As in What douchebaggery is this shite?
  58. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:54
    oh
  59. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    oh no, you never shorten that to db...
  60. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    it gets it power from the full spelling
  61. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    like this
  62. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    "that code is a douchcanoe filled with shitweasels"
  63. stop riling my wife up guys
  64. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    that whole phrase is just dripping with Power Words
  65. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    shortening them is like saying "heck"
  66. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    and "dang"
  67. StommePoes
    Mar 14 21:55
    it's just... no point.
  68. jnurthen
    Mar 14 21:56
    dang it

  90. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:00
    Got your panties in a knot
  91. Right-o, stiff upper lip and all that
  92. Being a Swamp German, my British idioms are sub-par :-/
  93. metzessible

    No need to take this conversation below the belt.
  94. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:01
    [garcialo] Too late, we're all kerfuffed
  95. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:03

  101. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:05
    but def german
  102. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:05
    or at least, not dutch
  103. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:05
    So it must not mean people from Wisconsin.
  104. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:05
    or Green Bay fans
  105. Yeah but köpfekäse is something else entirely
  106. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:06
    The Dutch are pretty cheesy tho
  107. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:07

    [karlgroves] > Yeah but köpfekäse is something else entirely

    Not sure if this is head cheese as in the food… or something I probably don’t want to know about

  108. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:08
    Apparently it means something pretty ew, I just learned
  109. Honestly wonder if that's any good - have never head (heh) it
  110. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:11
    Really? Pretty common in france?
  111. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:11
    [karlgroves] Apparently it is preskop in Dutch?
  112. Hoofdkaas
  113. Or Balkenbrij, which I think has brain in it
  114. Having been raised by a vegetarian mother, I am woefully uneducated in that sector
  115. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:12
    i'm sorry
  116. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:12
    [karlgroves] I’d try it.
  117. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:13
    jkva was amazed when the Plone guys at Europython in Florence knew of this Italian meat restaurant... with meat that just melted on your tongue
  118. I remember having my first steak at ±18yo, thinking 'is this the big deal'
  119. then I had a BISTECA and... oh lord
  120. I need a few minutes
  121. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:13
    Plone was good for something at least
  122. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:13
    our group had this Belgian who knew where the Plone guys were going, and with his nose he lead the way through twisty streets to some small restaurant
  123. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:13
    luckily we had an Italian with us to translate
  124. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:14
    amazing international-python-weirdness experience
  125. Honestly it was then, I realized why steak had the reputation it did
  126. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:14
    [karlgroves] Bisteca - that’s a T-bone, right?
  127. I don't know - it was delicious
  128. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:15
    It was some hunk of meat
  129. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:15
    melty hunk of meat
  130. Cut off the hunk right in front of you
  131. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:15
    I hadn't ordered it but tried if from others' plates
  132. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:15
    little old Italian guy
  133. The cars are shit, but the steaks, oh my
  134. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:15
    if anyone here ever ends up in florence and there's a Python-something going on, pretend you love Plone and taste this for yourself, it's worth it
  135. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:16
    (plone-- python's first CMS. and it hasn't died yet, strangely)
  136. That reminds me, in San Diego I'll have to try something local
  137. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:16
    fish tacos
  138. You had them?
  139. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:17
    Last year Gonz thought about crossing the border to find weed, but I'm worried enough about US border control that I don't dare
  140. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:17
    [karlgroves] There’s great mexican food in San Diego
  141. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:17
    cause if I ever go to Tijuana I'm getting a velvety Elvis with his emotion running down his cheek
  142. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:17
    if you can't find that in California you are not trying hard enough
  143. You'd think of all states, Cali would have legal weed
  144. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:17
    gawd I miss mexican food
  145. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:18
    well, I miss the peasant stuff I ate at lunch with my mom and her co-workers
  146. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:18
    so, tortillas made of corn, not flour
  147. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:18
    i went to TJ on Friday night last year. Ate some great stuff
  148. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:18
    and you put a little itty bit of stuff in them, and then eat like a bazillion of them
  149. I wouldn't mind seeing TJ, it's going back into the US that would concern me
  150. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:18

    [karlgroves] > You'd think of all states, Cali would have legal weed

    It does.You just have to pretend that you have a qualifying ailment to get your card.

  151. StommePoes

    aw, medical marijuana
  152. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    meh
  153. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    we have enough stinky stuff right here
  154. Having been detained before, I am nervous at border customs
  155. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    tourists stink everywhere
  156. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    yeah how's getting back?
  157. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    I have two passports but I'm scared to tell the US that
  158. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    so far I just act like I only have one
  159. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:19
    I have global entry so coming back over the border is easy but obviously I have nothing dodgy on me
  160. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:19
    no need to try to explain to a $12/hour TSA person how dual citizenship works
  161. "You again boy? We told you to not come back, Bubba's gonna learn you now boy"
  162. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:20
    "Put some ass into it, Bubba!"
  163. jkva @jkva shudders

  165. The things I learn
  166. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:21
    bubba was a nice guy
  167. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:21
    All the Americans were.
  168. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:22
    Except the TSA.
  169. Is there a pre-CSUN party somewhere BTW? @StommePoes, @MichielBijl, @MarcoZehe and $self are coming in next Sat

    Mar 14 22:22
    You guys heard Rachel Nabors was denied entry into the UK when she tried to go there to give a talk + workshop for SmashingConf?
  171. I think we're having beer w/ Jason Kiss & co. somewhere
  172. StommePoes

  189. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:25
    [karlgroves] I traditionally go down to the gaslamp district and have sushi
  190. I'm actually surprised that a huge conf like this doesn't record everything - at least it doesn't seem to be the case
  191. metzessible
    Mar 14 22:25
    Rachel Nabors... You mean the cartoonist?

    That is Tacos in TJ late at night.
  195. StommePoes

    Yeah, apparently even tho she read the page on visas and smashingconf had a page on visas, because she's self-employed I guess they considered her talk as "work" so she was supposed to get a work visa? so they locked her in a cell without communication for 6 hours and interogated her as if she were looking to sneak into the UK or something and then just sent her back to JFK with no reasonable way home to Portland or wherever
  196. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:28
    Wow those are meaty tacos
  197. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:28
    the wraps/tacos I had as a kid were mostly filler plants
  198. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:29
    @StommePoes it sucks but that is exactly what the US would have done for someone coming the other way. The whole visa thing sucks
  199. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:30
    I always have to be careful even going to canada to use the phrase "meetings" not "training" as "training" raises flags that it is paid work
  200. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:30
    yeah visa's were a problem when my friend Jitendra tried to come to Amsterdam for an interview with Booking
  201. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:30
    only because he came from India
  202. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:30
    ah good tip
  203. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:30
    jkva's had some... experiences with the TSA
  204. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:30
    all stupid stuff
  205. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:30
    India is a pain the other way too..... invite letters etc. and lots of beurocracy
  206. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:31
    once we went to New Zealand and made the mistake of flying via the US
  207. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:31
    never again
  208. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:31
    TSA and CBP are different
  209. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:32
    so the girl working for KLM said, for the automatic checkin where you could only choose a US state "oh just choose the first one" (alaska) so we end up in San Fransisco trying to get a connecting flight to NZ and the TSA are all asking a bazillion questions about alaska
  210. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:32
    we have had very interesting experiences with german airport security - one took 2 hours to be convinced that my colleagues braille display was ok
  211. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:32
    was even made by a german company
  212. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:32
    oooh yeah well those do look pretty funky if you haven't seen one before
  213. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:32
    i blame KLM then :)
  214. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:32
    the HIMS notetaker too-- I saw one for the first time when working remotely from an office FirmGround.nl
  215. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:33
    a girl I didn't know showed up, hooked it up to her laptop and went on... it was pretty cool because I'd only seen Tommy Edison talking about the old ones that clacked. This one was all plastic and quiet
  216. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:33
    Yeah KLM messed up but that's because they actually only had anything to do with the first flight
  217. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:33
    So of course their system couldn't check you in
  218. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:34
    so we should have chosen CA since we landed in San Fransisco
  219. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:34
    i always avoid connecting in the US if I can
  220. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:34
    KLM had nothing to do with the next flight.
  221. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:34
    Yeah we will too
  222. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:34
    Next time, if next time happens, will be via Asia
  223. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:34
    I'll risk bird flu and tasty, tasty Singapore street food
  224. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:34
    nom
  225. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:35
    i even prefer heathrow to connecting in the US
  226. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:35
    :)
  227. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:35
    oh gawd
  228. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:35
    that's bad
  229. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:35
    also charles de gaulle sucks
  230. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:35
    you always come out of security to connect to a flight
  231. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:35
    I avoid at all cost
  232. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:35
    or CDG
  233. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:35
    oh yeah
  234. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:35
    you beat me to it
  235. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:36
    Heathrow is awful
  236. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    hate that. Guess it would cost them too much to rejigger that airport
  237. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:36
    last time i connected there i had to take a bus, a train and walk about a mile - with a 4 year old in tow
  238. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:36
    Gatwick is pretty decent.
  239. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    yeah so thats' why @jnurthen surprised me
  240. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    heathrow... damn
  241. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    yeah
  242. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    Gatwick++
  243. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:36
    But nothing beats Schiphol security wise.
  244. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    oh?
  245. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:36
    Always through it in about 5-10 minutes.
  246. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    They don't seem all that super awesome secure, just... normal
  247. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    oh
  248. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    yeah
  249. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:36
    they're very fast
  250. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:37
    now they have these new scanners that just don't mess with anything
  251. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:37
    fast
  252. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:37
    It's just the passport check when you get back that sucks.
  253. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:37
    i like SIN for security. At the gate and lots of staff
  254. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:37
    Michiel: when you go to the US, the US demands you're there Much Much earlier than normal
  255. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    it's not schiphol who demands
  256. Michiel, bro I dunno man, USA flights, they done grill you man, I tells ya
  257. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    the US wants to run your name through a check after you've checked in
  258. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    so they want an hour longer than any other country
  259. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:38
    but you already have that evisa thing right?
  260. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    jnurthen SIN== singapore?
  261. @jnurthen yeah
  262. esta
  263. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    yeah but doesn't matter, even if you're US Person
  264. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:38
    yeah - singapore
  265. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    they stil want you there like 3 hours before
  266. You get interviewed @ schiphol, etc
  267. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:38
    now, I've done it in 2
  268. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:38
    i never do ;)
  269. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:39
    but I don't like chancing it
  270. I'd rather have more time, get a coffee, read a book
  271. Than having to hurry
  272. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:39
    I sometimes get interviewed
  273. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:39
    oh mne too
  274. But that's me
  275. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:39
    sometimes at schiphol it's a quick set of questions
  276. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:39
    i hate rushing at airports - but i also hate hanging around for too long
  277. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:39
    but by then, the US has already scanned your name
  278. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:39
    I watch the TVs
  279. First time I went to the US, my flight was delayed by 5 hours :P
  280. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:39
    they have CNN with live captioning
  281. jnurthen
    Mar 14 22:40
    :(
  282. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:40
    I get to see the quick type mistakes
  283. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:40
    [jkiss] Sounds like y’all might be making dinner plans for Sunday? If so, please share the location. Eric Wright and I do have informal plans for drinks, but we’ll also need to eat. My flight lands in SD at 4:45pm, but I will have cleared customs in SF (with my diplomatic visa!) nice and quickly already. So I might make it to hotel around 6pm.
  284. @StommePoes said "You sure you want to come to Michigan in February? It snows here"

    "Yeah sure, how bad can it get"

    ...I didn't even bring gloves

  285. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:40
    Jason is that SUN?
  286. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:40
    that your flight lands
  287. jnurthen @jnurthen do folks have the google invite?
  288. I got stuck in Ohio for a day, all snowed in
  289. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:40
    My work has something google
  290. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:41
    I dunno all the weird stuff google has
  291. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:41
    [jkiss] yep, Sunday
  292. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:41
    but if having a gmail address has it, then I has it
  293. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:41
    ok, let's get foods
  294. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:41
    no idea where but SD is made for tourists so there's plenty of places
  295. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:41
    and I think Eric has some ideas
  296. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 22:42
    [jkiss] sweet.
  297. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:42

    @nschonni thanks
  319. @MichielBijl check if you can check in online? Then you'd only have to drop off your luggage at the automatic dropoff
  320. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:49
    I'm guessing I can check in only
  321. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 22:49
    Or is that something the US doesn't like you to do :P
  322. MichielBijl

  334. StommePoes

    I've avoided that so far but if I pay the 2k+ dollars to get rid of 'merican-ness I may apply for it
  335. StommePoes
    Mar 14 22:55
    they only ask for your first-born and all genetic info in exchange for less BS at the border....
  336. zakim-robot

  376. Relationships based around dinosaurs are fucking doomed
  377. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:07
    the fuck man, tempting me with dinocookies, the fuck
  378. MichielBijl

    Uhm, don't know, me I guess…
  387. @stevefaulkner do you have a plank toilet or a sploosh toilet
  388. StommePoes @StommePoes still wants Michiel to go through security in his dinosaur onesie, yet fears the TSA would lock him in a cell and do Rachel Nabors interrogations for 6 hours
  389. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 23:09
    Yeah not gonna do that on a flight to the US
  390. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 23:09
    Might do to UK though
  391. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:09
    I dunno if Steve knows what a Dutch toilet has
  392. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:09
    Dutch people... like to know their health
  393. The fact that google suggests "Dutch Toilet" --> "Dutch Toilet inspection shelf" is slightly worrisome
  394. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:10
    and they regularly inspect for... worms, I hear. Not that anyone over age 4 has worms, but... whatever
  395. Dutch masterrace! Seriously who wants the water to splash up what is wrong with you people
  396. zakim-robot
    Mar 14 23:10
    [jkiss] My sheep had worms. The paddock is their inspection shelf.
  397. MichielBijl

    Well, you want to know what you produced right?

    Mar 14 23:17
    So last Thursday, me and Mathilde watched A Land Before Time while eating dinosaur cookies in our dinosaur onesies; that was a pretty good birthday.
  420. But it's so sad
  421. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 23:17
    And on Saturday we went to the newly revised dinosaur section of the Natural History Museum in London :D

    Mar 14 23:19

  429. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:20
    I heard they were tasty
  430. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:20
    The World May Never Know
  431. Yeah, like those tortoises on the galapagos
  432. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:20
    (how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie-roll center of a Tootsie-Pop)
  433. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:20
    yeha they was supposed to be mega-tasty
  434. StommePoes @StommePoes wishes she could eat all the extinct tasty animals
  435. heaven in a half shell
  436. MichielBijl
    Mar 14 23:21
    Yeah, shame they never got any of those back to Europe :(
  437. It's like that species of Manitee that got hunted to extinction
  438. Ohhh the huge manitee
  439. StommePoes

    Just uploaded this vid of the fly strike that one of my sheeps had a few weeks back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQM7iQNAmPE
  441. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:26
    there be maggots.
  442. lovely
  443. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:27
    poor sheeps
  444. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:27
    all maggotty
  445. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:28
    I hear the Sami kids just walk around the reindeer herds and eat those maggots as snacks
  446. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:28
    why can't New Zealanders do that?
  447. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:28
    I'm kinda proud I caught it early...saved the sheep's life I did.
  448. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:28
    oh?
  449. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:28
    do they burrow?
  450. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:28
    how did you notice?
  451. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:28
    they are solid, crunchy little fuckers, so prolly good eating.
  452. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:29
    not soft maggots?
  453. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:29
    They would have burrowed had they made it down to the skin. Then they eat away the flesh, and eventually it gets so bad you just kill the sheep to save it :(
  454. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:29
    aw
  455. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:29
    poor sheeps
  456. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:30
    Soft but solid. Takes some good force between the fingers to pop them.
  457. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:30
    you could... fry them
  458. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:30
    in a pan
  459. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:30
    with butter
  460. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:30
    like those ozzie kids did with the crabs
  461. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:30
    and garlic and onions.
  462. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:30
    rice substitute for the power lifters
  463. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:30
    put them in tortillas
  464. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:30
    Am eating rice right now.
  465. This is not my wife guys, this is somebody else
  466. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:31
    honestly, I'm sure someone could make a business out of that right now. Save sheep, sell food, win-win
  467. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:31
    World famous in New Zealand
  468. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:31
    There's a craft maggot market in NZ for sure.
  469. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:31
    in potentia
  470. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:31
    Well, it'll become the new thing... IF it takes off in San Diego
  471. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:31
    cali sets everything
  472. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:32
    Even though Michigan has the Beer City of craft beers, it's california everyone thinks of for hipster brew
  473. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:32
    with colorado as a close second
  474. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:32
    home grown... no, farm-tended maggots
  475. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:32
    sheep-fed
  476. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:32
    ouch.
  477. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:32
    hand picked?
  478. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:33
    This farm's been in my family since [x] generations.
  479. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:33
    We been growing maggots since white people first shot away all the maori... something
  480. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:33

  481. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:33

  482. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:33

    Mar 14 23:34

  486. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:34
    Green man doesn't exist anymore
  487. Speight's
  488. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:34
    Edgerton's too I think
  489. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:34
    or was it Emmerson
  490. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:35
    We never touched that student-beer stuff
  491. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:37
    Emerson's. He's Deaf, too! It's good beer, but he sold to Lion.
  492. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:37
    aw
  493. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:37
    We never met him, but stood in line to try beer
  494. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:37
    some guy in line behind us compained it doesn't taste the same each time, but we took that to mean they're still hand-batching
  495. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:40
    Would have been then. A few great small real ales being made these days. Hand pulls (sans sparkler, of course) ftw.
  496. jasonkiss
    Mar 14 23:40
    And that's not (necessarily) a euphemism.
  497. Heading off to bed, cheers slackers
  498. StommePoes
    Mar 14 23:41
    Yup, we gotta sleep
  499. jasonkiss

    Mar 14 23:41
