12:00 AM
assuming your bed doesn't have a hard edge of course
 
@TildalWave actually, bed is the only place it doesn't spin - as long as I have taken my meds :-)
@Gilles here, driving is cheaper and faster, so there is no motivation for me to use public transport at all. A little motivation to use a motorbike, as it would be faster still...
 
my bus pass costs $80 per month after school discount
 
Oh yeah well my car insurance costs me $220/month
 
wtf?
 
and everyone wonders why i like public transport so damn much
 
 
1 hour later…
1:31 AM
@DavidFreitag 2013
@Ohnana <3
@000 I know you are nearby, my friend.
@AviD Are you in Israel?
 
@MarkHulkalo right now, or in general?
 
@DavidFreitag 16 gallons, $27
Are you from Israel or something?
 
@MarkHulkalo I'm from New Jersey, but I'm not there
 
Ah. Israel is such an awesome place. Love it.
 
as do I.
and, yes, I am Israeli, also currently in Israel.
 
1:41 AM
Nice!
Jews in general are pretty awesome
I'm a huge Israel supporter
 
@MarkHulkalo WTF where do you live?
 
2:06 AM
@MarkHulkalo Do you have any of the data classes converted to C# yet?
 
2:20 AM
@DavidFreitag I've been everywhere :p
Nah, I haven't... ran into an issue
 
An issue?
 
The issue being that I had to take the wife shopping.
 
I'm gonna head to work early tomorrow so I can come home early and start busting it up
oh and... uh. sec
 
Well you can create a git on bitbucket with the java stuff and I can start converting stuff
 
2:23 AM
I feel like I went overboard
 
That's..... nuts
 
So I think I'm gonna just go ahead and scale that down
 
Why? Looks like it should be very useful
 
Yeah, well there's a catch
I lost the code to this 7-8 years ago when my mom threw away the backup CDs while I was cleaning
 
That's all Java isn't it
 
2:28 AM
C#
 
Ohhh I thought you wrote all that today
 
But I can recreate it much quicker, and make it better
No, I did write all of that in a day though
lol
 
Is it just UI or does it actually do stuff?
 
it does stuff
the "does stuff" stuff didn't take a day, though. the UI did
 
Nifty.
I. Am. Starving.
 
2:30 AM
eating Chinese food
:]
 
I want to order some but they need a minimum $20 to deliver
which is ridic
 
My wife is Cinese
Chinese*. She cooks it every night. mmm
 
My uncle's wife is Chinese too
 
 
6 hours later…
8:03 AM
@MarkHulkalo Thank you, we all appreciate that.
 
8:16 AM
SAILOR (Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Luck, O, Resistance)
 
@M'vy "O"? I think he said he doesnt want to make a pornoSims.
Though I think somebody should.
 
@AviD ah fail deletion of history
damn app
I was saying "Morning"
this is some remainder of the isogram thing of yesterday that for a reason where still here
 
weeelll, Good Morning Sailor, to you too ;-)
3
 
8:35 AM
Morning
 
Mornin' All
 
8:48 AM
ahah
 
Morning all
 
@RoryAlsop watcha' hows the ear?
 
Sucks, but some progress
 
@RoryAlsop well good to see it moving in the right direction..!
 
:-)
 
9:54 AM
bonjour
 
watcha'
 
massively tired from a nearly all nighter last night
 
more Fallout4?
 
no, taking over a university campus for the night
 
that's different
protest or musicy thing?
 
10:00 AM
auditorium made a good venue
 
nice
bit different from the usual clubs I'd imagine
 
well now I can say I've been to university
 
Lol
 
it was also surreal being surrounded by people my own age who're more self destructive than I am
 
More self destructive than you were?
 
10:04 AM
maybe, if not then on par
 
A fun gig then?
 
lots of people downing lots of alcohol
 
You know I've just worked something out. Elder rory is like the DMZs dad, and Avid is like the weird uncle :op
 
in all honesty I could have broke out with random tv theme tunes near the end and people would have probably continued dancing
 
@kalina you should've rick-rolled them
 
10:06 AM
artistic integrity
 
@kalina all artists have to rick-roll the audience at least once in their careers
 
that's not true
 
@kalina I know
 
also rick rolling is totally last decade already
 
it's back
 
10:07 AM
no
stop doing the same thing over and over again, do something new
otherwise I will bring back all your base
 
@kalina yay!
 
and hamsterdance
 
that was awesome
 
and plastic jesus
 
@kalina that one I don't know
 
10:07 AM
and the dancing baby
 
@kalina Ally McBeal style
 
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.
 
@RоryMcCune Erm... That's good, though, right?
 
heya @kalina
 
@RoryAlsop yeah you're like the sensible nice one, and the tigger is the massively inappropriate one who's meant to be an authority figure
 
10:13 AM
hahahahahaha
sensible is my facade
oh - did @NexusFairy install the apk? I was looking at the portals out there - some good walks
You do Ben Donich a fair bit don't you?
 
@M'vy o/
 
@kalina so yeah, I'm off alcohol for the next two weeks with these meds. One positive thing though - my appetite has gone completely. So I'm down to a couple of bits of toast a day
probably good for me in some strange way
 
I don't get drinking but assume it's the same as taking drugs
I don't really get taking drugs anymore either, you can get that rush by standing in front of a crowd and it's far less dangerous that way
 
Drinking I enjoy because of the wonderful tastes. Drugs - meh, I always preferred adrenaline
 
@RoryAlsop yeah unfort. she's avoiding google play services for philosophical reasons, so looks like it won't fly for her, but I can use it :)
 
10:19 AM
so I'm with you on that
 
@RoryAlsop yeah I noted one on the trig point for that..
 
@RоryMcCune the apk shouldn't require google play as such
...although, if she uses Android, using the Play store as well is much the same
 
@RoryAlsop nah it installed ok, but as soon as you start the app. it complains about no google play services
 
ahhh
wasn't aware of that
 
@RoryAlsop at the moment she's on Amazon App. Store and direct download APKs only, it's a google free Android phone!
 
10:20 AM
@RоryMcCune impressive
how much functionality is missing
 
@RоryMcCune "google free" "android"
 
@kalina I knew what he meant :-)
no gapps
 
@RoryAlsop yarr fine for most stuff does things like ViewRanger, music, maps, e-mail
@kalina yep AOSP
don't need proprietary google stuff to make Android work
although google would very much like that to be the case
 
In principle I'd like to be able to do that, but I like the things I use from google, microsoft etc
 
@RоryMcCune it's still a google project...
 
10:23 AM
first world problems
 
@kalina sure but the code is open source and all the nice google tracking stuff is in their proprietary bits
@RoryAlsop yeah I'd do it except am planning on getting a google wear phone, and I'm pretty sure it'll need google play stuff to work
 
@RоryMcCune I reckon :-)
 
google play services is required for loads of stuff
 
that's googles lock-in
 
if I wanted a phone that only made phone calls I'd get a nokia 3310
 
10:24 AM
Snake!
 
well I wouldn't, because who wants to be seen with a nokia 3310
but you get the idea
 
sure, but you can get a reasonably functional smartphone without propietary google/MS/apple stuff
 
@kalina of course - you'd get a 6210i - which is the best nokia phone ever
still, the risk to me is relatively low, and I have already taken the decision that I share a fair bit (that I am okay with sharing) and as I block all ads, and do a fair amount of cookie and tracker removal, that I'm resigned to it
 
@RоryMcCune surre you can get a smartphone with another proprietary stuff
 
@M'vy you need one of these maplin.co.uk/p/…
 
10:26 AM
@RоryMcCune 1 - 3 months standby power :-)
 
@RoryAlsop and the latest version has (IIRC) snake!
 
@RоryMcCune awesome - suitable for poolside business meetings :-)
 
@kalina only 148 rep today - dearie me
 
with a new personal best of 9 rep caps in a row
 
10:28 AM
:-)
 
I think the most impressive part of that picture is not the rep capping, but the complete lack of activity for the year leading up to the rep capping
the fact that I'm apparently responsible for 10% of all posts in the fallout-4 tag
and that fallout-4 is responsible for the biggest traffic spike in arqade's history
 
@kalina I am not surprised :-)
hey - you have 46 times my rep on Arqade :-)
and this is what, your 3rd time round?
 
my third time round?
 
did you not quit and start again from zero a couple of times
 
oh no
if you look at the big graph at the bottom
I was active from when I signed up to ~august 2013 and then deleted my account
I lost a bunch of rep when it was re-created but it was largely recreated
missing edit rep, bounty rep, etc
and then I was active from sept 13 to feb 14 and then quit again
then I was back for hatbash '14
and then I was back in nov '15 for fallout-4
 
10:36 AM
huh I guess we'll be back at hats 2015 soon
doesn't it usually start dec1 or am I mis-remembering?
 
@RоryMcCune and kalina will beat us again, despite not trying :-)
@RоryMcCune something like that - maybe a wee bit later
 
@RoryAlsop heh true
speaking of people who will beat us at the hat bash....
 
oh I'm probably not doing hatbash this year
 
Mornin' Terry
 
@RоryMcCune Oh wow, hat madness 2014 was already a year ago?
 
10:40 AM
@kalina and you'll still beat us somehow
 
@TerryChia just about
 
every time I take part in it I get accused of cheating and somehow me playing around with stuff is far more serious than everybody else on the network playing around with stuff
I can't be fucked with Stack Exchange's hypocrisy
 
@kalina I don't think you got any here on Sec.SE - many people 'played around with stuff'
 
@RoryAlsop explain to me why mods appearing in a channel with both myself and @TerryChia actively discussing how each of these hats work results in me getting a warning and threats of bans but him getting nothing
 
@RoryAlsop Mostly Arqade that has a problem with specifically her.
 
10:42 AM
@kalina did that happen in here? As in Security? I don't remember that.
 
and then when you fail to answer that in an acceptable manner, leave me to my hatred towards the system
nothing has changed, my early fallout-4 posts all have downvotes because I'm just not liked for some reason
one of those posts is the most viewed fallout-4 post
downvoted because I posted it
 
making out I'm crazy doesn't help me like you at all
 
@kalina probably right - they don't seem to cope with the idea of voting the post, not the owner
 
@kalina I wasn't, that was just a meme, I'm not suggesting you're crazy
 
10:48 AM
@kalina The system allows various things, but people are/can be the problem. Here the SE system is the same as on Arqade, but we just have a slightly different culture and community.
 
since we're talking about the community team more than arqade, the "people" thing is consistent across the board
defending the system might as well be calling me crazy
 
Adi
Okay
So today I went to DHL to get the package
it WAS a fucking sex toy!!!
7
@David Was it you?!!
 
ah haha haha
 
Adi
What the fuck, man?!
It's one of those futuristic-looking ones
It's for females
 
I can safely declare my innocence here as I don't know where you live :)
you didn't tell @AviD or @kalina where you live did you?
 
10:55 AM
@Adi I think I do have your address (from when you sent the package through for me and t'other Rory) but it wasn't me
@kalina Okay - at community and mod level we are relatively independent. I have no commentary on those higher up, sorry.
 
@Adi are you working at spamhaus?
I've read a story some days ago about one guy sending a 3D-printed D*** to them :)) because he's security discovery tool triggered a ban and forced him to change host
 
Adi
I've sent an email to the company name on the delivery notice.
 
< innocent
 
@kalina "of this" :op
 
"in general"
 
11:07 AM
mmm
 
oh, I guess that's a personal best of 10 in a row
 
@kalina rep-caps or days without dressing?
 
rep caps
I had to get dressed yesterday
 
true I guess turning up at a gig in your jammies could've been odd
 
you'd think but I would have probably been wearing more fabric overall than many of the people there
 
11:12 AM
geez it must either be warmer there than here, or the people attending are hardy souls
now that's a good track
 
Adi
@RоryMcCune I looked online. It looks like one of the good vibrators
 
@Adi any idea about why someone would send you one?
such an odd thing to do
 
Adi
Well, I'm keeping it
I'll gift it to someone
 
that kind of present is usually reserved for someone you're in a relationship with
 
Adi
11:24 AM
@RоryMcCune Nääääh
I've gifted sex toys to friends before
 
oooooookkkk
 
Adi
Depending on the friendship, of course
 
word to the wise, if you come to the UK keep that to people you're in a relationship (or want to be in a relationship) with
 
Dear Valued Customer, as a token of our gratitude, please accept this modest sex toy. All the best.
 
I picked up one of those transparent locks for learning how to lockpick.
 
Adi
11:26 AM
@JourneymanGeek Bulkeys'?
 
@Adi cheap chinese one
 
Adi
 
Oh, that exactly
 
Adi
Hate to disappoint you.. it's a shitty one
I have the same exact one
 
tried it on a spare luck but I'm not getting it.
 
Adi
11:28 AM
I regretted buying it
The good thing is that it's cheap
 
Adi
@RоryMcCune I have to say that even everywhere in the world it depends on the friendship.
@Journeyman It's rakable
 
@Adi sure, I was just mentioning that there are some regional sensibilities to consider as well, and in the UK we're typically repressed about such things, in the general case :)
 
@Adi that's a useful skill to get anyway ;p
 
Adi
@JourneymanGeek and probably pumpable as well
 
11:31 AM
@Adi you're talking about the lock, aren't you?
 
Adi
If you haven't done this before, then this lock is a great start!
 
pumpable?
 
Adi
@M'vy Yes
 
Nope, I have not.
 
@JourneymanGeek Can show you how it's done for the really simple ones.
 
11:32 AM
@TerryChia if I still can't work it out, I'll ask XD.
 
The really simple ones with a single pin is pretty easy to feel for.
I can't do the more complex ones myself. :P
 
Adi
@JourneymanGeek I more than highly recommend this playlist youtube.com/playlist?list=PL66CD42F86F3A1F85
This guy is one of the best around
 
nice. ANd I do have the time ;p
 
Adi
I met him once, he's also super nice
He has good technical knowledge as well. You'll probably see that in the videos
 
11:43 AM
You can also pick locks with literally anything.
My fave trick is still the toilet paper roll for kesington locks.
 
lol, are kensingtons the tube style ones?
 
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, the laptop locks.
Dead simple to pick and usually used to secure rather valuable items.
 
My typical method is carefully applied violence.
Well in the army, I was the unit lockbreaker XD
 
who knew army units had nominated lockbreakers
 
Oh, conscript army
People would leave without clearing out their lockers.
And erm
occationally we needed the lockers and the officiers sort of expected it to be done but didn't want to know the details.
 
11:55 AM
heh
 
I was a lot neater with a large screwdriver than the guy who beat it with a tireiron.
