Uhm..... RT link makes me question it's veracity...

Question everything, including CNN.

Minimal believability = two independently verifiable sources... and even then.

I suggest waiting until the pizza is delivered to your door.

We should test the theory by ordering an unmanned delivery pizza party for Hubski.

Let's make it an unmanned party, and build a robot capable of receiving a pizza dropped via this company's cable system.

Only problem: most of us are just about 3/4 Earth diameters away.

Bonus points for powering the robot with pizza.

It's always so early in your time zone.

Sigh.

YOU should pick the time for an IRC meetup...

Haha, it was around 10:35 PM when you said that.

That being said, I wonder if Pubski has affected whether people would even want to do IRC in any way.

Pubski is good, but still asynchronous.

Synchronicity isn't for everyone. Personally, though, more than anything else, IRC gave me the sense that we're not all robots.

I agree. The hectic nature of it is fun, even if it's only in spurts.

    Question everything, including CNN.

Agreed.

I've just heard slightly more nefarious things about RT than CNN. A more 'honest' approach to their work, if you understand my meaning.
