@MissSnarkerson Not until we send the Republicans to the gulag where they belong.

@MissSnarkerson Ginsberg better not croak before 2020.

@pzmyers Well, shit. I knew it would eventually happen, but Ellison was one of the greats.

@pkotrcka @mwlucas I've currently got the ed manual page open in a tmux window labeled "man ed"

@qbit I know it's crazy, but like I said: maybe my config isn't quite right.

In any case, I hope the pandoc port makes it in. I'd much rather use the package mangler than monkey around with non-standard methods like cabal, as helpful as your write-up was.

Cue the crocodile tears for the demise of Toys R Us, a shitty retail chain that has finally succumbed to incompetent management and an inability to compete.

I look forward to the death of all corporate brick and mortar retailers.

Maybe I don't have /etc/doas.conf set up correctly, but using doas to install pandoc 2.2.1 on OpenBSD using the instructions on https://deftly.net/posts/2017-10-12-using-cabal-on-openbsd.html by @qbit didn't work for me. I kept getting out of memory issues no matter what I did with /etc/login.conf and ulimit.

I don't recall having this trouble with Pandoc 1.x, but no matter. Running "cabal install pandoc" as root and adding symlinks from /usr/local/cabal/bin/ to /usr/local/bin/ was what worked for me.

@donblanco Did you use "a" to append text and "." on an empty line once you were done?

@ExOblivione It probably gives him an erection, too.

Here's a challenge for #writers using osx, linux, or bsd: try #writing a passage using ed(1), the classic line-oriented editor.

1. Write each sentence on a separate line.
2. Add a blank line between paragraphs.
3. Don't try to go back and edit previous lines.

Let's see how far you can go. :)

@mwlucas

I've been reading #EdMastery and decided to spring for the paperback so I can refer to it while writing.

@offby1 You mean it isn't one already?

Dammit, Anthony Kennedy. Not that he was ever a reliably liberal or progressive judge, but he couldn't have waited another year on the off-chance that Democrats would GET THEIR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER and take over the Senate?

Asshole.

@hypolite I look down on them for doing it. I'm trying to earn a living here, and they're in my way.

I had all my hair shaved off (No. 1 buzz cut) because my wife lost her hair to chemotherapy, and now I've got people who never noticed me before coming out of the fucking woodwork to interrupt me when I'm working to "offer their sympathy".

I was just a name on the payroll for the last five years to you, until now. I don't want your fucking sympathy. I want my wife to have both her tits, her hair, and not have fucking cancer. Just leave me alone and let me work, dammit.

@dragnucs Your boss deserves to die for that.

@sillystring They still count, even if they currently seem have it good from your viewport.
