Now I'm tortured by the thought of delicious, delicious pears.

Fluttershy

@Ullallulloo Should probably get some pears tomorrow.

And now, since I've filled that out, given @spugsley a cute animal picture, and told her to punch her manager's kid, I am going to sleep.

user15026

@Fluttershy All your duties fulfilled ;)

spugsley

@Fluttershy nighty night :)

the hubs and I are gonna look at house stuff MAKING AN OFFER

user15026

@spugsley ooooooooooooh

user15026

So many cool things happening in your world, so much better than bitchymcbitchface

LessPop_MoreFizz

04:09

@spugsley for some reason I only saw 'the hubs and I' and then MAKING and then an O and was about to accuse you of tmi-ing chat.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz dies laughing

LessPop_MoreFizz

now if you'll excuse me, I have to go pack for another trip out to the boondocks

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz :(

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz which boondocks? Memphis?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@WorldEngineer Upstate New York.

user20683

04:12

@LessPop_MoreFizz that's slightly less boondock? I guess?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@WorldEngineer Not the stuff I'm gonna be driving.

Lemme sketch out a rough mockup of the route I'll be doing over the next week or so:

Starting from the lower right, coming up from NYC, that's what I'll be doing.

user15026

I CAN SEE ME ON THAT MAP I AM SO CLOSE AUGH

LessPop_MoreFizz

user15026

well, the last half of my city name anyhow

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Come meet me in Beefalo!

user15026

04:20

@LessPop_MoreFizz I has no passport object :( I mean I could theoretically get it, and pay for a rush

user15026

Because fun adventures are fun

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn I know the requirements for crossing the border overland are less strict, but I am not sure what they are for canadian citizens entering USA

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz afaik, it still requires a passport now

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn there is a special drivers liscense you can get in lieu of a passport I think, at least that's the case for border states here in the US.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz You can get a NEXUS pass, or an enhanced licence, or use a passport

user15026

04:25

passport is easiest and cheapest

user15026

depending on when you will be there til, it is actually probably gettable

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn next week sometime most likely, but only for like a day or so.

I will be passing through your way again sometime in august or september I would guess though.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah, yeah, not gonna be fast enough

LessPop_MoreFizz

on your side of the border at that.

user15026

oooooooh, where?

LessPop_MoreFizz

04:27

no idea. I'm just guessing based on project trajectory and such

don't have anything concrete.

user15026

Cool beans, well keep me updated :D

LessPop_MoreFizz

for all I know they could send a coworker over there and send me to hawaii or something

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Is that better or worse?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn I am p. sure Hawaii wins.

Sorry.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz sad

LessPop_MoreFizz

04:29

@AshleyNunn I'm sorry, but... HAWAII.

Tropical paradise.

Etc.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz ......I guess that is kinda okay logic

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn It's not like I'm saying I'd prefer Missoula, Montana or some other hole they'd send me to instead. Those would suck.

But Hawaii? Eh, I'll take Hawaii in a heartbeat.

@WorldEngineer tell meee

run all of your images through Google's reverse image search

user20683

might want to figure out how to automate it

user20683

it'll take a while otherwise

spugsley

how do I do that?

I mean reverse image search

and there's only a few images getting the bulk of the views

so it won't be too bad

user20683

04:53

@spugsley get the url for the image "something.jpg" or whatever

user20683

then input into google image search, it won't find it but will ask if you want to do reverse image search

spugsley

@WorldEngineer well, my images are right clickable

user20683

@spugsley google uses image processing, it doesn't have to be the same image :)

user20683

I should correct myself, they use "computer vision"
