01:08 AM rue_mohr: how about making a program to generate the params based on other input
06:43 AM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
06:45 AM Tom_L: i might take a stab at rewriting it once i get this one right
09:45 AM rue_mohr: I wonder how many washes a sock is good for
11:21 AM Tom_L: until the sock monster eats one
11:35 AM aandrew: that is the correct answer
11:35 AM aandrew: the sock monster will call it back into the fold when the time is right
12:42 PM Tom_L: then you'll have 2 mimatched matching pairs or more
01:26 PM aandrew: I've given up trying to match pairs. I found a style of black dress socks at Costco that I like and buy ONLY those. no more mismatched pairs
01:27 PM polprog: the sock monster is nondeterministic
01:27 PM aandrew: did the same kind of thing for underwear. threw out all my old ones and bought a dozen pairs of one specific kind at Mark's. Now I have no issues because they all fit the same way and wear about the same
01:29 PM polprog: now everyone thinks you never change underwear ;)
01:47 PM Tom_L: long as you turn them inside out, they're good for a couple days
05:30 PM aandrew: polprog: the number of people interested in my underwear lies between 0 and 2
