@DavidFreitag would you like it to not get frozen?

@Ohnana Eh, it's not really a big deal. If I was that concerned I'd just say something and it wouldn't freeze. It's just funny that it's Astro.SE's main chat and it's a ghost town.

sad

Since most people on Astro are also on Space, they just stick in The Pod Bay

i was gonna log in and perform a legendary chat necro

perks of being a trusted user

It's only been 16 days

@Ohnana Are you familiar with udev rules?

huuuurrrrr

let me see if it's what I'm thinking ov

no, it is not. lo siento

Can you tell me the difference between SYSFS{} and ATTR{}?

Herm... Google is not very forthcoming with answers on this..

@DavidFreitag Haven't seen @Tildal for a bit there

@RоryMcCune Windows 8.1 is awesome

far better than those linuxes

@RoryAlsop Come to think of it I haven't seen @Tildal anywhere in ages.

of course, that's like saying that a sunny day is better than paralyzing pain and agony

@DavidFreitag it looks like you can call a ATTR{foobar} == baz kinda deal

@DavidFreitag he probably finally got bored of SE and thought fuckit, I'm off

@DavidFreitag last time I saw him he was raging hard and then /quit

@Flyk hmmm - Windows 7 I'm okay with. 8 sucks soooo badly. I even prefer my old Slackware boxen

@Ohnana :-(

@Ohnana Yes, but is ATTR a direct replacement for SYSFS?

@RoryAlsop that's fine, Windows 8.1 is incompatible with old people anyway

@DavidFreitag can't find anything with SYSFS{}, it's always used as a descriptor in the text

@Ohnana Unfortunately he's one of those people who takes things just a bit too seriously...

@Flyk I think you are correct

Windows 10 is even better

@Flyk :|

@Flyk haven't seen it or tried it

@Ohnana I suppose I should just try, but this is the rule I have SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{modalias}=="input:*-e0*,3,*a0,1,*18,*", SYMLINK+="input/touchscreen0", think it would work if I just replaced SYSFS with ATTR?

ahahah @fooot your handle made me giggle

@RoryAlsop it's made entirely of awesome sauce

foooooooot :P

@Flyk I have not had such a good time with the Win10 previews

@DavidFreitag that's how I've seen everyone using it. check if ATTR has an attribute modalias before attempting though

@DavidFreitag that's fine, 23 is classed as "old"

I wish all the coffin dodgers in the world would hurry up and make me more fossilized fuel

brutal

seeing as humans don't get smart until around 25 - 27

@Flyk No it's not that, it's perfectly navigable, but it seems there were a few bugs. There has been one major update since my last go about it though.

@DavidFreitag individual downloads technical preview, complains of bugs

also i'm smelling burning crap in the office. place your bets, electrical fire or someone's nasty food?

I really hope they make Cortana disableable.

@Ohnana crap that is on fire?

smelly

@Flyk weird mix of BBQ and plastic

plastic BBQ?

@Flyk well i do live in the northern usa... :P

Isn't that called Canada?

no.

@Flyk True enough. It's not like this will have any effect on whether I use the free upgrade to 10 when it comes out.

yeah, literally the day of release

@Flyk No, it's america, not america's hat.

@Ohnana Nope, but it would appear that ATTRS{} has a modalias attribute though...

@DavidFreitag tada

@Ohnana Well, not exactly. I'm going to try and see if it works.

blaaarg it's burnt popcorn

how the fuck do you burn popcorn with a microwave

@Ohnana More thermite.

pffft

mmm thermite

@Flyk We molded some thermite in the shape of a hershey's kiss with a magnesium strip instead of paper.

@DavidFreitag i demand pics

@Ohnana I will if we make them again, they were all used to melt holes in a local abandoned bunker thing.

Come to think of it, it's kinda sad the the fallout games don't put more use into thermite. It's so damn easy to make.

if you know how to make it

all the recipes that the courier and wanderer make are incredibly primitive

where the hell are you supposed to get pure aluminum shavings in the wasteland

And there is plenty rust around new vegas.

also that's not really intuitive

Aluminum wouldn't be that hard to find, or that hard to grind into powder.

i think that a lot of scientific knowledge was lost in the great war. all the dumb panicky people would have flocked to vaults, and all the smart people wouldn't have

actually wait a minute there's a quest in new vegas were you plant thermite

Yeah, but one would think that some of the scientific data would have been preserved in at least one of the vaults

@Ohnana Yes, to destroy Gomorrah's gun supply.

i wonder if they knew how to make it or they just grabbed it premade like all the stimpaks and shit

You can make stimpaks in new vegas

yeah, but canonically the recipe was lost

arcade talks about it

it's his life's work

Well apparently they figured it out

Because at least the drug dealers who work for the great khans will make them for you.

idk maybe it's a shitty healing powder injector?

that's the ingredients at least

that part of the canon is a cluster fuck

> Stimpak: Broc Flower (1x), Empty Syringe, Xander Root (1x)

Thanks for trimming all of that helpful whitespace SE...

All of the edits

yeah broc + xander at a campfire is healing powder

so maybe someone was just like, "hey let's shoot that up"

Also I think it doesn't heal as much as a regular stimpak

mmmm 3 hour beer lunch @Xander ain't that the life

@DavidFreitag check it on the wiki

that would make a ton of sense

@Ohnana Ok, no, unless supercheats is a dirty dirty liar, the crafted stimpak is WAY better than the original. You need medical 70 to craft them, and they heal 129HP, whereas at 70 a regular stimpak only heals 72HP

@DavidFreitag WAT

arcade you fucking dumbass

@Ohnana supercheats.com/guides/fallout-new-vegas/recipes

Also, I realized last night that I had been playing new vegas on hardcore mode

my first time through

on very hard

@DavidFreitag yooooo

Good times.

how were ya holding up?

Very good. Considering I have been killing everything that moved with a generic name.

Level 25 and only died twice

I just blew up the securitron army with Caesar.

noice

i fragged his shit

popped in the tent, threw a grenade, and ran like my ass was on fire

I'm accepted by everyone but the powder gangers, and I still don't know who I'm going to be siding with.

independent! fuck over all the little towns!

@Ohnana There are only three people left alive in all of the fort, unless they respawn (which they do)

YEEE

After I bashed Benny's face in with my unique super sledge, I saved and blew Caesar's head off a few times before departing.

also i think supercheats is a dirty liar

Yeah 129 is almost super stimpak territory

Oh, and you need science 70 to craft the stimpak. supercheats is most certainly a dirty dirty liar.

it looks like the craftables and the game stimpaks have the same item id

makes sense

also arcade has the tag skill of medicine not science and he has no points in science. sucks to suck

Thats a tough one. Science implies chemistry in some way, but medicine also kinda does...

WOOHOO! The touchscreen worketh!
