wtb a downvote on my post: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/212433/…

Heh, I got a few down votes on my answer there too.

That really showed us!

no no I actually want a downvote on it

so I can get peer pressure

Oh.

Well uh...No.

I have insufficient rep to downvote.

UNBEVLIEVABLE

1:38 PM

Ask @Frank. He loves downvoting things.

he's probably too casual to have downvote privs on mso

@Sterno But only so he can collect the salty tears of his victims. I don't think that'd work in this case.

I'm disappointed in you @Tim

@kalina But I was about to do work! If too many of us do that at once the world might actually start operating productively, and we can't have that.

I'll let you do work and concentrate on overcapping instead

@TimStone Highest voted comment for telling @kalina 'Screw you'. Success!

The doge meme needs to die. We need to write it down on a piece of paper, then tear it up into little pieces and burn them. Then, we should invent a way to burn things that have already been burned before, and then burn that machine and the stuff together.

1:50 PM

such complains, very anger, wow

@Sterno That, or we could use that nifty hydrographics process @AshleyNunn linked to last night to cover your car parts in doge. I'm conflicted because reburning things does sound like fun, but the hydrographics were really cool...and vandalizing your car would give you an opportunity to tell us kids to get off your lawn, so.

@TimStone The doge meme is an abomination upon mankind, and dogkind. Upon any kind really.

In Angry Birds GO I get points during the race, but not constantly, it isn't tied to easther distance passed, speed, position, coins picked or blocks smashed. How do you get points during the race in Angry Birds GO?

2 more workdays and I get 2 and a half week off :D

Everyone except myself and one other developer here got last week off.

Next monday and tuesday, then holiday :D

@Powerlord poor you /violin

and since I'm only assigned to our internal (Java) app, he has to do any breakfixes on any external (.NET) apps.

2:58 PM

No holiday for me ...

@kalina That's great! Now you can mess up your sleep cycle again!

@5pike Same, I have christmas and newyear off, and that's it.

Let me check when I have off.

@kalina Well, on the bright side, since I work in government, our offices are closed two days next week and two days the week after that.

25, 26, 01 and 06

3:01 PM

I have a break the last week of january.

I hate those in-between work days,

@5pike This reminds me that my birthday is coming up...

The Mondays are going to be the hard days to come in, since I have both two days before and after off.

Well, I shouldn't complain. I was on holiday from 25.11 - 10.12

My last holiday was in july...

@Powerlord this

I wish I was too, but the baby decided to wake up at 7:30 this morning. Unacceptably early.

she'll take care of it

@TimStone ....that's around the same time I wake up every day to get ready for work.

and I'm NOT a morning person.

@Powerlord I was already half way to work at 7:30

and everybody knows that I'm an afternoon/evening person

I managed to avoid waking up before 8:30 for my entire life

Dremel

Dremel is an American brand of power tools known primarily for their rotary tools. Dremel's rotary tools are similar to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers. The tools were originally developed by Albert J. Dremel, who founded the Dremel Company in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1993, the company was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH, and today it is a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation located in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Dremel's activities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa are operated by Dremel Europe, located Breda, Netherl...

@OrigamiRobot Because I don't do any grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving, or engraving

I do some drilling, but I use a thing called a "drill" for that.

@Sterno well there's your problem! Get into DIY

The humble PuppyGames bundle, upcoming today

3:16 PM

A MSE will be nice.

@Sterno Are you sick? Do you need me to call a doctor?

I have this stuff called money that I use to pay people to do things that I can't be assed to do myself.

It's pretty cool.

@RedRiderX About time

That said, I can't remember the last time I needed to pay anyone to do any grinding, sharpening, cutting, cleaning (of the sort this can do), polishing, sanding, routing, carving, or engraving

@Sterno Can I pay someone to cut two holes in the top of my 360? How much does that cost?

3:17 PM

I have never had the need to cut two holes into the top of my 360

@OrigamiRobot also don't forgot to debur them with said dremel

Dremels are also super awesome for engraving plexyglass for edge-lighting effects

@KevinvanderVelden Well naturally I will cut the holes a bit small and sand them to the exact size to ensure a snug fit.

@Sterno Then you haven't really lived. :(

@OrigamiRobot also works, most of the time I've needed holes it's for fans so that's not really needed

If I want holes in something, I just leave it in reach of my toddler.

3:19 PM

...Not that I've had that need either, but @OrigamiRobot's tinkering makes me wish I did.

Journeyman Geek

if you want to drill in plastic, an electric screwdriver with the right bit is nice.

@RedRiderX Come on guys I thought that would be a little starworthy!

Galaxy on Fire 2 for $4 (Steam)

Better?

3:20 PM

Yes.

@OrigamiRobot good, now unstar it :)

@spugsley Jetpack Joyride is awesome.

@KevinvanderVelden I only do that when I suspect I'm running low on stars

@MechanicalLoon Yes it is

@MechanicalLoon Are you @GnomeSlice now?

3:21 PM

@OrigamiRobot She recommended it to me last night.

@MechanicalLoon it's fun, they did an awesome post-mortem for it which is in the GDC vault.

Awesome if you are someone who makes games at least.

For a game whose only controls are "do the thing" or "don't do the thing", it's really amazing.

@AshleyNunn Have you played Tiny Thief?

It looks cool.

Pack includes 6 games:

Non-Steam DRM: Sengoku (Non-Steam DRM)

@3ventic That could be any of them!

True

but you generally don't add I to the first game

@KevinvanderVelden I need to bookmark this site.

@OrigamiRobot You could have bookmarked the site in the time it took you to tell us that you should bookmark the site. :P

@OrigamiRobot yes, you should. They have a lot of tiny diy stuff, including microchips (optocouplers, triacs etc), loose AVRs and teensy/arduino clones

Also FPGAs!
