2023-09-23 13:26:45 <MrMobius    > xelxebar: maybe they are referencing the BASIC stamp?

2023-09-23 18:13:52 <vms14       > yeah, that's mainly the answer
2023-09-23 18:13:58 <vms14       > it depends on the person
2023-09-23 18:14:38 <vms14       > 42 is the answer but what 42 means to you is how you achieve the answer

2023-09-23 18:58:44 <vms14       > cause it's not a real segfault
2023-09-23 18:59:05 <vms14       > and the users of that word might be dissapointed

2023-09-23 21:26:51 <gordonjcp   > KipIngram: one notable one which started off with a fairly reasonable question about radio modem bandwidth ended up with a bunch of bot-like usernames calling everything "wokerati libtard bullshit" because someone didn't like some part of the answer, probably something to do with sticking to locally-applicable laws on TX licensing
