Which also means price of tickets to superbowl will increase too

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Commercials are funded by FIAT currency and keep lots of average people trying to look beautiful.

Super Bowl tickets are probably a business write-off like Edmonton Oiler tickets.

It all expands FIAT currency

TheXed

we prefer average idiots if we are referring to anything Superbowl....

WinEunuuchs2Unix

You don't need to be an idiot to get laid by a plastic super bowl girl

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix honestly it is the rest of the city that really benefits from hosting something like that...

@WinEunuuchs2Unix....think about what you just said...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

no doubt there is economic benefit to bars, hotels, eateries, etc.

what you don't like plastic girls?

barbie would hate your guts.

TheXed

3:03 AM

Nope, and I would also say that if that is all you can get...then you are either a basement dweller and afraid to come out of your parents basement...or you truly are an idiot....geeesh...

Barbie is 8 inches tall, she doesn't scare me, and is afraid of lighters half her size...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Yeah barbie is made of plastic but it was a double meaning with real life plastic girls who serve a valid purpose I believe.

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yeah I know...I was exaggerating....

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Although they aren't written in the bible except for Jesus who defended a prostitute and said "let he who has not sinned cast the first stoned"... the bible is complicated :)

TheXed

Then there was Sodom and Gomorrah...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Whoa it's 26-28

TheXed

3:06 AM

Nope it is now tied...

OT here we come...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

First overtime game in superbowl history.

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix are you sure?

L. D. James

@WinEunuuchs2Unix This is an example of what I was describing about trying to help a user that does something that can't be accounted for and it takes time to figure out what. If the user would answer more specifically the questions, it would be substantially easy.. He's having problems with running a crontab even for a specific interval.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'm sure I heard the color commentators say that.

L. D. James

I gave a test for him to use as verification. The crontab runs and stop. Whatever output he's having can be identified as something else he has running.

If he performed the test, then I could help him figure out the discrepency for why he's seeing something different with his application.

TheXed

3:09 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I live in America, our commentators don't care about interesting facts..

A: How to run a cron for specific time interval with 5 minutes interval

Your crontab entry will function as you described. You'll have to look for something else that is running the activity you are seeing. It's not the crontab entry in your example. The details of how to verify the actual crontab entry is below in the verification section. Use comas to specify t...

He's doing as you mentioned, typing one line and a day or two type another comment. If it were chat, it wouldn't bother me. A day or two later when he added another chat entry, my response would be the same. What's the results of the test provided. After it success... then my next step would be to analyze the difference between the test and what he'd doing that is not functioning correct.

TheXed

I could answer this but I am to sick to have the energy...

L. D. James

Sorry for being so verbose.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Nothing wrong with typing in advance and copying and pasting into chat room.

L. D. James

Not sure if you are responding to my comments, but I do that both for the comments and the chats.

...as well as for various forums.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:15 AM

I'm a pretty fast typist with lots of errors

so I can pretty much spot

copy and paste

when I see it :)

L. D. James

I hope I'm not disturbing your previous chat. You don't have to respond immediately, when you're busy.

The last time tested myself I typed about 90 words a minute.

That was about 20 years ago.

TheXed

9000 here, but that is when I use all four of my hands...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

In college they swore they would flunk all of us if we couldn't type 45 WPM

But then after most of us failed they said

"haha we were just kidding you are programmers not typists" it's your mind that counts.

L. D. James

I stutter when I talk. I do the same thing when I type. I often hit the backspace a lot and remove repeated words.

TheXed

typingtest.com

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:17 AM

let me know when you find "sanitytest.com" and I'll click that link :p

@L.D.James sorry for my lag... we were watching Superbowl (American version of football) and commenting on it is all.

TheXed

54 WPM with 6 typos...I even impressed myself...

L. D. James

No problem... I figured you were.

TheXed

Come on the falcons have to stop them I will cry if the pats win...

I am going to cry anyways stupid cold...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

NEP are on a tear right now... I would bet against Falcons now.

TheXed

Good thing I don't bet on sports...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:21 AM

Some of the guys at work were talking about betting 1500 bucks...I'm like whoaaaa

TheXed

I bet they are crapping their pants right now...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Not 1500 bucks on this game... a game 2 or 3 weeks ago.

TheXed

Oh...

knocking on the door...

Thomas Ward

greetings to all

WinEunuuchs2Unix

That didn't look like pass interference

TheXed

3:24 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I think he got called for it because he never looked back to see where the ball was, didn't even know it was thrown that direction...

So he can't contend that he was going after the ball...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Aww American Football A game of inches

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it can be...

Probably the most exciting Superbowls in recent history...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

It was in Superbowl LI

Oh look Brady is praying now... He found GOD.

TheXed

Hey did anyone check the air pressure after the half time?

Kaz Wolfe

oh, superbowl.

okay, i'm gonna interrupt this with ubuntu.

Does anyone know how I can set an animated GIF as a wallpaper without any frills or workarounds?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:27 AM

Ubuntu is off-topic in this Super bowl chat room :p

I thought wallpaper was static and not dynamic???

Kaz Wolfe

It is. Which is why I want to set a dynamic wallpaper.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

otherwise it would be "wall moving stuff".

Kaz Wolfe

. . .

Seth

@thatcoderiguana I like how gboard autocorrected my obvious disgust to "belgium" though xD

Tweeted by thatcoderiguana on February 6, 2017 at 3:28 AM in reply to thatcoderiguana

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth Why did you ping yourself?

Seth

3:30 AM

I didn't.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

What??? belgium as in brussels as in the EU?

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth You did in the tweet.

TheXed

@KazWolfe yes, install Windows Vista Ultimate...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

So now we know Seth is 3:28Am when we are 8:28pm or we know his twitter is @thecoderiguanna?

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed Ha ha.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:34 AM

twitter banned me for being a robot...I hate them!

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix That's UTC.

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix all this time I thought you were!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

How arrogant Grenwich is coining "Universal Time" as if they are the centre of the universe :p

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's true

Journeyman Geek

It was that or paris.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:35 AM

What it's gang on Robot's night? I never got the memo :D

TheXed

@WinEunuuchs2Unix if we didn't love our resident bots, we wouldn't give them a hard time, would just ignore them...Right @SmokeDetector?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

What about @Kazwolfebot who you know personally in a way?

Kaz Wolfe

That's @WolfBot, and is currently offline.

TheXed

@WolfBot is cool too..

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@ReallyWhoKnew? oh right you did :p

TheXed

3:37 AM

So we hate on him equally...

Kaz Wolfe

Can't hate on what's dead.

TheXed

@KazWolfe he died?

Kaz Wolfe

now, back to figuring out how to set a GIF as a wallpaper.

TheXed

:O

Seth

@KazWolfe oh. Because it's a reply to an earlier tweet of mine?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:38 AM

This is getting a little weird.

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed That tends to happen to bots with no server to live on.

TheXed

So he is homeless?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I saw the movie "Lucy" they create their own servers and USB's they hand to Morgan Freeman.

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed Yes

Seth

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it's 1938 here so the latter seems more likely. Not that it isn't just on my profile or anything..

TheXed

3:38 AM

What happened to his home? we could have crowdfunded?

muru

spam: askubuntu.com/questions/880275/…

WinEunuuchs2Unix

It's too late to crowd fund when he's making 20 dollars an hour and no longer homeless... no stopping him now!

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed Not worth it, and I don't want other people's money for such useless things.

TheXed

It's not useless if it is fun for you....

Journeyman Geek

lol

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:40 AM

@Seth Hate to say it but I never read your profile Seth.

Kaz Wolfe

@TheXed There are still much better things I can beg other people for money for.

TheXed

I spent 500 dollars on a camera I don't know how to use (although I am learning) but I don't think it is useless because I enjoy it...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Funny I only look at noob profiles for the most part....don't know why

Kaz Wolfe

I'm trying to get my home server online again soon.

TheXed

So what exactly is wrong with it?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:42 AM

@KazWolfe When armies of 16 y/o girls offer you $800 you've got it made.

Kaz Wolfe

Doesn't exist anymore.

Hardware got moved to a serious project (that is actually worth throwing money at, lol -- but please don't, it has plenty of funding) -- cc @TheXed @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

@KazWolfe "trying" - what's wrong with it?

TheXed

LOL wow they are Booing the President of the NFL...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

You should see how they boo Gary Beckman the president of the NHL.

TheXed

@KazWolfe oh so it is still there, has been relocated...

Kaz Wolfe

3:43 AM

yeah, no. I don't ever get rid of hardware until I've worked every CPU cycle it has out of it.

Journeyman Geek

@KazWolfe dosen't everyone have a bunch of decade old PCs and laptops they can drag out? ;p

Kaz Wolfe

Or it just becomes so outdated and useless that keeping it around is more expensive than getting rid of it.

All I want now is an animated GIF background ;-;

TheXed

@KazWolfe pretty soon that won't ever be the case, because even an old outdated computer will make a hell of a Raspbian Pixel machine...

Once they release a installer for x86

Journeyman Geek

@KazWolfe if it does sata, its a keeper

for now

I'm gradually dumping my PATA boxen as they turn up

Kaz Wolfe

@JourneymanGeek Last non-defective machine I terminated was IDE.

And still had a dedicated floppy drive, and 4x CD reader.

Journeyman Geek

3:45 AM

right now my secondary box is about a decade old

TheXed

I got rid of all personal IDE boxes a long time ago...

Journeyman Geek

4:3 <3

and sata

TheXed

But I still find them lingering at work every now and again...

Journeyman Geek

Oh, I have some drives

Kaz Wolfe

so... back to something you guys can actually help with :P

Turning this into a wallpaper:

afk, dinner

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:47 AM

what we're going to work on your project whilst you eat? :p

TheXed

Kinda low res isnt't it?

Journeyman Geek

On purpose

and low colour

TheXed

So even if we where able to find a way for you, you want it to look like shit?

Seth

@TheXed well that's one way to describe a waterfall xD

TheXed

I am just saying that, that image stretched on a modern display is going to look very bad...

Okay this sick man is going to bed...good night to everyone

WinEunuuchs2Unix

4:02 AM

Sounds like a xorg or gnome hack...ie download source and patch it some how... above my pay grade of zero :)

I got to go poof too.

Serg

4:56 AM

@muru ok, not quite right. Ctrl-Alt-Tab is for switching accross workspaces. Atl-tab should already move to previous window on the window stack. Alt+Tab , then using Shift+Tab starts the stack switcher, but just goes in reverse order, i.e. to the lowest one on the stack ( least recent )

muru

@Serg odd, I just tested on a 16.04 VM before posting

gotta go, meeting with boss, be back in half an hour

Serg

See ya

muru

5:53 AM

@Serg I don't have CCSM installed (it's all stock), so dunno what's going on there

Serg

@muru in other words, the shortcuts are all default stuff. Meh, if it works it works. Doesn't matter

muru

Are those shortcuts anywhere in gsettings?

Heh, spam in Japanese

Serg

They are, but I need to run dconf watch / and alter them in compizconfig to find where exactly. Give me a min

/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/alt-tab-forward-all

That's the exact schema for Ctrl+Alt+Shift

When it's default, the schema is unset. If you alter it, it creates schema with specific keybinding

/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/alt-tab-forward-all
  '<Control><Alt><Super>Tab'

/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/alt-tab-forward-all
  unset

First one is where i set it, second is reset to default
