Q: I really need a sapling from a single tree

NathanTempelmanSo I'm playing on some server, called SkyBlock. It starts with one tree. the first one dropped one sapling, now that I've planted it and accomplished a whole lot of other stuff, I don't want to cut down the second without having at least one sapling come off of it. So what I'm asking is, can a t...

lol
 
THEY KNOW
 
12:13 AM
HOW DO THEY KNOW
zomg conspiracy etc etc
 
OMG HOW THE FUCK AM I GONNA PICK THIS SHIT?!?!
 
I...er... context?
 
@kalina lol a photo for the 365 I'm doing
I have like 5 really good ones from out in the rain
bleh
blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
you could close your eyes and chose one at random
or number them 1 to 5 and use a random number generator
or upload them and present them as a survey and get Arqadians to vote on their favourite
wake up in the middle of the night and see which one feels best while you're half asleep
chose the worst four times, leaving just one left
 
user20683
@spugsley I can do some DIP shenanigans to them and present all kinds of charts and graphs
 
user20683
12:20 AM
that may take more time than you have
 
@kalina this is a lovely list lol
 
The news is using photos that I may have taken to show the house where this shit is going down.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz how does it feel to be famous?
 
@kalina meh. I've been more famous for better things.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz YOU MADE DIS?!?!?!
 
12:25 AM
@spugsley No I didn't make that.
But it is pretty rad.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I linked this already
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz :( that was very misleading that you said you were more famous for other things and then link this
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz this requires further clarification
 
@kalina For instance, once upon a time, the MTA, the government agency that runs mass transit in NY, raised subway fares. I sued them to prevent this and won.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO. NO ZOOEY, DON'T DO IT, YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER MEDIOCRE ALBUM WITH M. WARD.
 
user20683
It turns out he's no longer a suspect
 
user20683
12:33 AM
just some 17 year old kid
 
@WorldEngineer wat. That's not what I'm hearing on the news.
 
user20683
 
@WorldEngineer Isn't he 19?
 
user20683
apparently he looks a great deal like that suspect
 
user20683
to be fair, Image Recognition is HARD
 
user20683
12:36 AM
like brain liquifyingly hard math
 
@WorldEngineer Umm, that's the dude that Reddit ID'd two days ago and got put on the cover of the post.
Totally different kid.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz ah
 
he has dark brown skin and is not currently hiding in a boat surrounded by cops.
The individual pictured in that photo is Dzhokar or whatever and is definitely the suspect.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz figures, is what I get for largely not caring about the news
 
he is presumed to be dying in the middle of that boat.
 
12:39 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz what the hell @ the name
 
user20683
@kalina probably Caucausian?
 
user20683
Chechen maybe?
 
@WorldEngineer eh, no
Zooey Deschanel is Trillian Astra
 
@WorldEngineer It's Chechen.
 
user20683
@kalina oh, sorry, thought you were refering to his name not hers appearing
 
user20683
12:41 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz the Religion degree does come in handy now and then
 
I didn't know you could get a degree in religion
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Eh, no, the suspect fingered by reddit is Sunil Tripathi. This guy's photo got published on the front page of the New York Post.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone No, Sunil Tripathi was a misidentification by reddit of the actual suspect. Sunil is still missing.
Reddit is where the Post got this guys photo from.
Reddit was referring to him as "Blue Shirt Dude" or some such.
 
is it still light there while all of this is happening?
 
@kalina Sun went down about an hour ago.
They have him in custody.
 
12:43 AM
Oh. Ha, a newspaper sourcing it's information from reddit. The Post is a tabloid, right?
 
mother. fucking. rain
I'm so mad at how good this turned out
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes, although it's a step 'up' from what we normally think of as a tabloid here in the states.
More unconfirmed stories, fewer outright fabrications.
 
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone it's in line with the Sun in the UK I think
 
@WorldEngineer Yeah, that's close enough.
 
@WorldEngineer A Murdock publication?
 
12:45 AM
Key distinction: Unlike other tabloids, the Post actually has the best copy editors in all of journalism.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes, it's one of Murdoch's two crown jewels in the US, the other one being the Wall Street Journal.
 
user20683
 
user20683
the Sun for comparison
 
@WorldEngineer Yeah, the Post has better copy editors by a mile.
Also, tends to put more real (though often local) news on the front page.
 
user20683
yeah
 
why are you linking newspapers?
 
12:48 AM
That one is my favorite I think.
"Gunman had more hits than A-Rod" is withering.

Q: What do the different Wield Styles do?

kotekzotDepending on race and equipped weapons, characters can use various wield styles: One-Handed, Power Grip, Dual Wield, Two-Handed, Quad Wield and Dual Power Grip. How do the different styles compare and how should one choose which to use? Does the One Handed style benefit from an empty second hand,...

perfect timing lazers
 
user20683
They kill Ghadafi. that's what they do.
 
12:50 AM
 
what....is going on?
 
This is Singapore's only English tabloid. It's far milder than anything in the UK or US
 
@spugsley I am going through some of the best recent covers of the NY Post.
 
ah ok then
 
The Chinese evening newspapers, on the other hand...
 
user20683
12:51 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Lurid?
 
Pretty much. I don't think there's a day without one of them 'breaking' stories of stars embroiled in yet another sex scandal.
 
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone that'd be like Star, Ok!, or a half a dozen others
 
user20683
in the US.
 
user20683
general rule for quality: does a Kardashian appear on the cover?
 
user20683
if so, it is not quality
 
They don't usually cover Western pop stars. There's enough scandalous Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars for that.
 
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yeah...
 
user20683
and given how much face matters in the Chinese cultural sphere, it's much more damaging.
 
user20683
 
user20683
So apparently that Orion Dino game is getting a sequel...
 
12:56 AM
@WorldEngineer It's not a sequel so much as a new name just to ditch the old metacritic score
 
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone /me watches new metacritic score tank even harder
 
user15026
Using a chat with a bunch of people where you cant thread replies makes for some weird moments....
 
user15026
Every time I use a chat that isn't here I get all like BUT IT NEEDS TO WORK LIKE THIS
 
user15026
sorry, I am random and all over the place right now
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn yes it does
 
user20683
1:01 AM
I miss being able to edit stuff on Facebook and AIM chat
 
user15026
@StrixVaria AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHAT THE HELL
 
@AshleyNunn Even with just two people, I'll reply right after they say something, so it looks like my reply is to that.
 
@WorldEngineer Is there a reason you deleted that?
Just taking advantage of your mod abuse?
 
That was a picture of a thumb.
 
user20683
@StrixVaria it was hideous
 
1:02 AM
@WorldEngineer So then yes to the mod abuse.
 
user20683
@StrixVaria post it again if you want I suppose
 
user15026
@Ullallulloo I try to, but when there are multiple people all talking very fast it gets tricky
 
@StrixVaria Now y'see the violence inherent in the system.
 
user20683
but any claim to aesthetics that you ever make is void.
 
Don't make me post the Republican Corn Dog Gif.
 
user15026
1:04 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am curious, but also really really scared to ask
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz What. The. Fuck.
5
 
@AshleyNunn I decided it was called for.
 
Mmmhmm, sausages
 
It's two Republican presidential candidates, both eating corn dogs, photoshopped into one image with gratuitous blend tool use, and then set spinning because why not.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz It's the spinning that gets me :P
 
1:05 AM
@AshleyNunn It's art.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah, well, that clears it up then
 
People are out in the street in watertown cheering for the police.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz in a way that the thumb is not as far as I'm concerned. I find body parts being altered like that really disturbing for some reason
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did they catch the guy?
 
Yeah, he's in custody
 
1:07 AM
@AshleyNunn This is art. You will hear a buzzer. When you hear the buzzer, stare at the art.
 
@AshleyNunn Yes.
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone grins
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz HOLY BALLS
O_O
 
@spugsley It's art.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz is it also a dong?
a giant wang?
 
1:07 AM
@spugsley It is a corn dog.
Or actually two corn dogs, plus judicious photoshop.
 
ah....I guess that....makes sense?
 
user20683
@StrixVaria much better :)

@LessPop_MoreFizz a star for you good sir
 
Hmmm, what's a good price for a 3DS XL?
Trying to see if the ones in Singapore are overpriced
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The XL here is going for $200 CAD or so
 
1 x Brand New 3DS XL
1 x 3DS Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Luigi's Mansion 2 (S$2 more)
1 x 3DS Super Mario Land or Professor Layton Miracle Mask
At only S$339.90
200CAD = 241SGD.
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone With the games, it doesn't sound too bad
 
1:19 AM
They're selling the consoles alone for S$285.00
 
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone so a little higher than here, but not incredibly so
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz where did you find rep corndog gif?

Q: How does the Oculus Rift affect TF2 gameplay?

damnfancytvFor those who don't know, the Oculus Rift: http://www.oculusvr.com/ I've seen multiple videos of the OR in action in Team Fortress 2, but I'm very confused as to how you control it and/or how it could positively/negatively impact gameplay. To those who have used the OR in TF2, what are some def...

Q: Does the choice of Jetpack in Jetpack Joyride affect Gameplay?

JohannThere are many jetpacks in jetpack joyride, but do they actually effect gameplay? For instance, do they allow one to hover easier or descend faster?

 
@Johann I don't remember where I originally saw it... probably Wonkette or Gawker or something two years ago when it was first made. These days, I just google for Bachmann Perry Corndog Gif and get it back.
 
...
 
1:25 AM
@Lazers I don't think OR is actually available to the public, is it?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Dev Units are availiable to the public if 'the public' wants to pay obscene amounts of money.
 
The website only says pre-order
The question seems a bit pre-mature, to say the least. Not sure if actually close worthy, though
 
user20683
Universities and the like have ways of bending rules when it comes to tech prototypes
 
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Tumbleweed maybe
 
1:32 AM
@WorldEngineer I'm afraid a question like that may become the top result from keywords like "oculus rift tf2", and the answers become filled with rampant speculation, which is why we close this sort of questions in the first place
 
user20683
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yeah
 
user20683
there is that risk
 
wait is o vr out yet?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's what protection is for.
@Johann Developer prototypes are starting to show up in the wild.
 
hrm
 
1:37 AM
@Johann and since they didn't vet who they sold those to, the 'general public' has some.
 
what is it like playing

Q: Why demons in Diablo 3 are evil anyway?

Jim ThioThe angels want to exterminate us. Nothing is more evil than that. The demons, just want to corrupt us. I love to be corrupted. Seriously. In the game, why the demon is evil? What does the demon do that's more evil than the angels?

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
@StrixVaria Yeah...
That guy has enough rep he should know better
He deserves everyone's downvotes
 
@SaintWacko Jim Thio has a... reputation, shall we say
 
@SaintWacko That guy is well known to only ever ask the worst questions.
 
1:41 AM
@StrixVaria How does he have that much rep?
 
@SaintWacko Pity upvotes.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I've heard the name before
@StrixVaria Idiots
 
Sometimes he accidentally asks a borderline-acceptable question and people upvote it because downvotes are "mean".
 
user20683
Thio...
 
user15026
@StrixVaria Oh, Thio. Lovely to see you on this fine eveing.
 
1:43 AM
@SaintWacko Huh. I just looked through his posts, and he really doesn't seem to have enough votes to get 500+ reps
 
I am a hero
 
Oh, he gained a bounty
No wait, that's the association bonus, not a bounty
 
@SaintWacko When you ask 50 questions, you get some amount of rep no matter how bad they are.
 
oh, him
mr thio
 
He is singlehandedly an argument for the fact that we ought to have an SO Style Question Ban.
 
1:48 AM
I think you meant singlehandedly an argument for euthanasia
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Agreed
 
where the suffering and pain is inflicted on EVERYONE AROUND HIM
 
user15026
@kalina O.o
 
I'm sorry, too harsh?
 
user20683
He's well known on History.SE...
 
1:49 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't think he's bad enough to trigger the question ban, but I can't see all his deleted questions
Besides, SE can manually suspend users for a history of poor questions
 
user20683
Yeah, you have to ask seriously bad questions a whole bunch to earn a suspension and that's a site mod call.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well, yes, but the beauty of the question ban is that it's not a suspension.

Every day engineering

Proposed Q&A site for all who want to understand how things around them work. We are surrounded by technological devices in our daily lives, yet we seldom know how they really work.

Currently in definition.

UGH.
 
@Sarcasticsapien At the direction of authorities, select DDs in the Boston area are open to serve law enforcement, first responders. ^JG
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Makes sense. A number of other businesses were able to open exclusively to serve people working on various scenes.
NPR was reporting from a restaurant that was serving meals to cops and had turned their bar into a media workroom.
Peeing in bushes during manhunt seemed like bad idea. Now in morning light, seems worse. #ReporterProblems

@MBraedley Civ 5?
 
@WorldEngineer KSP. 2 launches (and a lot of save scumming) and I'm ready to send the Kerbals out there.
 
user20683
ah
 
I think I am going to go to church on Sunday.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Easter was 3 weeks ago
 
2:40 AM
@MBraedley I am aware.
@MBraedley Also, I am Jewish.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't know that. Passover was x weeks ago
 
@MBraedley Also 3 weeks ago.
 
user20683
@MBraedley Passover and Easter were the same week this year
 
@WorldEngineer They... pretty much always are.
 
user20683
true
 
2:41 AM
@WorldEngineer It's hard to be sure. Most of the time they coincide, but there's those odd years where they don't.
 
user20683
<-- roughly Anglican
 
@MBraedley Basically, they are the same every year except for when they are a month apart because the Jewish lunar calendar is reconciling.
Which happens roughly once per decade.
 
Actually, come to think of it, I too will probably be going to church on Sunday. I ring handbells occasionally, and that's happening Sunday. I think.
 
In this case though, I will be going to an actual Christian, protestant church.
And sitting through a bunch of nonsense about Jesus.
 
@AshleyNunn I presume that's you who I received the steam friend invite from
@LessPop_MoreFizz Easter's over, you might be in luck
 
2:45 AM
@MBraedley It will still be quite crowded and there will still be plenty of nonsense about Jesus.
But it will be worth it, because it will be nonsense about Jesus from AL FREAKING GREEN.
 
Hmm, have another beer, or go to bed. Decisions, decisions...

Q: Why do we get town portal when we get the crown?

Jim ThioWhat's the ingame explanation that we got town portal spell when we got the crown. What does the crown have anything to do with town portal?

@Fluttershy sigh I might be remembering wrong, but I though he used to post good questions.
 
@MBraedley You're remembering wrong.

@mbraedley yes that was me with the invite
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn but you have a date, this is the important thing. I want to graduate and get a real job so I can start dating again.
 
user20683
I want to be able to take some lovely woman to dinner and not worry about the cost meaning I won't make rent

@worldengineer true but Aaaaaaaa I am so wired and I hate waiting
 
2:53 AM
@Fluttershy It must have been another user with a similar name.
 
user15026
@worldengineer that sounds nice. In my case I am treating the girl because she had an exam today and I got paid today so I am like yes I can do this!
 
@MBraedley Always have another beer.
 
user15026
@LessPop sage advice, that.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz unless you're gonna hurl. Then hurl and wait a while.

I have never thrown up from drinking and I rarely get hungover. built like a tank

I've only drank a handful of times but never puked, that I remember
 
user20683
I'm 5'10", I weigh around 120 lbs
 
elfs are taller
 
user20683
2:57 AM
@kalina depends on the universe
 
Only two times have I ever puked drinking. One time I was already sick and drinking was a bad idea.
 
@WorldEngineer I got half way through typing "you're a dwarf" and then realised that you're still taller than I
 
user20683
DnD elves are shorter

@worldengineer 6ft, 250. Like I said, tank.

The other time I was 18 and drank an entire fifth of vodka by myself at a party because I did not yet understand how wonderful a thing Beer is.
 
user15026
@LessPop oh dear. You are enlightened now though
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz the only time I puked was when I was already drunk on Captain Morgan and then I mixed Morgan and Scotch and drank that
 
user20683
like 12 or so ounces I think
 
@AshleyNunn Yes. I just kind of instinctively recoiled at my early experiences of beer because 1) it was bad beer, and 2) It was carbonated, and I really hate most carbonated beverages.
Like, I can't stand soda.
