Also! Apparently you should not have sex with men who have recovered from ebola in the last 7 weeks
Cause it can live in semen for that long
 
user15026
Good to know.
 
I do not want to know how people found that one out
 
I'll bear that in mind
 
@KevinvanderVelden Probably through semen donors.
 
@AshleyNunn You really need to step up your game.
You've only read 68 books this year. You're such a reading slacker.
That number be at least 3 timeas as much!
 
12:04 PM
@5pike Seems like a pretty bad candidate to get a semen donation from.
Or handle the semen of.
 
user15026
I know, right? I am terrible.
 
user15026
@wipqozn did you get farther in Mistborn?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Petri dish and microscope?
 
Okay, so one thing I learned about Google Inbox is that I can no longer hold onto messages that I want to remain hidden by archiving them
 
what did i just walk into
 
12:05 PM
It just puts them in the "Done" section, very prominently
 
@Koviko D:
thats.... dumb
"mark as done" vs "archive"
clearly different things :/
 
user15026
@rapitor today I learned that you should be scared of buses because people riding them might have Ebola and you can't ever know for sure if you are safe.
 
@djsmiley2k I thought so, too. Also, if you try to "unmark as done" thinking that this is the case, itgoes to your inbox. And if you re-mark it as done, now it's AT THE TOP OF THE "DONE" section.
 
So suddenly, the thing I wanted to remain hidden is the very top item
 
12:08 PM
I have about 10,000 emails in my archive
I don't want to see them all!
 
It doesn't show everything. Just like, the last year
 
you should be scared of buses because people driving them might be maniacs who can't drive for toffee, and you can't ever know for sure if you are safe
 
Needs a "add as task" button which forwards into calendar, and that's all.
@Koviko still urgggggh
 
user15026
@DanHulme Yeah see that is more believable
 
HexaClicker: A lot of people seem to really like this one. It's neat; kind of like Clicker Heroes with more "strategy".
 
12:09 PM
@djsmiley2k Yeah. It's like the want to force us to delete everything.
 
CC @uni
 
@StrixVaria I got a message that implies they think I was a beta tester.
 
@Koviko I don't get it, isn't Done and Archive the same thing?
 
@fredley Apparently. So, what Inbox needs is a "hold onto but don't fucking display" option
 
@Koviko Isn't that what Done is?
Or snooze, depending on when you want to deal with it?
Maybe Snooze > Someday is this? I don't know what that actually does.
 
12:11 PM
@fredley Not entirely sure. Maybe I'm using it wrong?
My idea of done is "I've read it"
 
@Koviko I'm treating Done as Archive, as in I never go there.
 
And then you can revisit Done to re-read if needed
 
Yeah, you're not intended to go into Done unless you need to search for something specific.
If you read it but want to act on it later, snooze.
 
@Koviko My idea of 'read' is read. Anything I need to reread stays in my inbox (or now gets snoozed)
 
@fredley What I usually do with messages I don't plan to re-read is delete them
However, now, deleting isn't as easy as it used to be
 
12:12 PM
@Koviko Oh. I never delete email. I'm like Google's ideal person.
 
I figured you would mark it done, then after you are done with thm all, go to Done and delete them all
 
@Koviko Done is the end of the pipeline.
 
To me, archived stuff is stuff I want to hold onto but not show in my inbox
Inbox = show me always for future reference.
Archive = keep it around for searchability if I want to revisit.
Trash = Done
 
user15026
@fredley I used to keep everything but then I would accidentally stumble on old emails that were like emotional face punches so I mass deleted almost everything this week
 
@AshleyNunn I did some mass deletion from certain people
What Gmail really needs is filters that can act on email that's a certain age
I really, really want this
 
12:15 PM
As long as Gmail has a space limit, I think it's better to keep my usage low on a day-to-day bsais rather than having to spend a day figuring out what to delete.
 
I have emails that are set to be marked as read immediately so they don't ping me, e.g. github notifications (so I can keep track of what's going on in my team). I want to set another filter that archives/deletes those messages once they're a few days old so I don't have to clear them out all the time.
@Koviko Gmail's space limit is limiting you?!
 
@fredley The fact that it exists means I don't want to run into it.
It's not easy to reach, but it's still possible.
And with all the junk I get, I can see myself actually getting near it
 
ARGH Undo send is gone
I just spammed a bunch of people because 'reply all' and 'reply' icons are not used consistently :(
Fuck
 
@AshleyNunn I did ind up reading last night, but not much. Only read 50 pages I think.
I'm on page 146 I think?
143.
 
@fredley Undo Send saved me a lot. That should be default to Google, by now.
 
12:18 PM
@Koviko Yeah, get on in @StrixVaria
 
@fredley I blame the internet.
 
@Wipqozn Google === internet
 
@fredley Your mom's a type checking equal sign.
 
@fredley Google is set to the internet, and therefore Google == internet returns true?
 
OH BUUUURRRRNNNN
 
12:21 PM
@MBraedley Javascript, it's like an even better ==
It's more likely to be right than == anyway
Javascript's crazy equality checking always catch me out
 
=== checks the type of a variable before checking it's value.
== does conversions, and JAvascript conversion is weird iirc, so everyone just uses ===.
 
Oh, well I wouldn't know that since I don't program in javascript
 
2257
A: Does it matter which equals operator (== vs ===) I use in JavaScript comparisons?

Bill the LizardThe identity (===) operator behaves identically to the equality (==) operator except no type conversion is done, and the types must be the same to be considered equal. Reference: Javascript Tutorial: Comparison Operators The == operator will compare for equality after doing any necessary type c...

false == 'false'    // false
false == '0'        // true
 
okay.
 
@MBraedley I think most languages which don't have "strict typing" have it. I say strict typing because I can't remember the proper name for languages where you declare the type.
 
12:23 PM
Oh well. I want to use Inbox, so I'll just backup these emails on my PC and trash them all...
Thx google -_-
@Wipqozn Pretty sure it's strict typing and loose typing.
 
This is the weirdest one:
'' == '0' // false
0 == '' // true
0 == '0' // true
 
@Wipqozn static?
 
It makes no sense.
@StrixVaria That sounds about right.
 
inb4 lazers. incoming a bunch of minecraft mod questions
 
also @Koviko sounds right too.
I should google that.
I don't usually think about the formal names of things.
 
12:25 PM
Also @Wipqozn DID YOU FINISH MISTBORN YET
I can unfreeze the Mistborn spoilers room.
 
@StrixVaria No. I'm Page 143 of book 3. I haven't been reading much. That shall change soon.
 
I was trying to do something other than read, a decision I regretted when I finally got back to reading.
although tonight and tomorrow I'll likely be busy all day.
 
Book 3 was boring
 
@Rapitor Those were only modified, not new.
 
12:27 PM
@Sterno YOU'RE BORING
 
@5pike oh. the whole mods tagging thing again
 
@Sterno Your face is boring.
I've heard everyone claim one book in the series i sboring.
 
I liked the first book the least.
 
Not me. Book 1 was best.
 
@StrixVaria didn't like the first book (based on goodreads review), @OrigamiRobot didn't like book 2, and @Sterno doesn't like book 3.
 
12:28 PM
My enjoyment of the series went down as Elend's page count went up.
 
@Sterno This is why I couldn't make it through book 2
ALL THE PINGS
 
I didn't mind Elend.
 
To celebrate Halloween, have some nightmares
 
I don't see the point of Elend
 
I'm finally watching 24, so behind the times \o/
 
user15026
12:36 PM
@Wipqozn I don't think I found one boring, really
 
@AshleyNunn Neither have I.
I've enjoyed the first two lot, and I've enjoyed the third so far.
 
user15026
They work well as a cohesive whole.
 
user15026
(It helps that I like them a great deal more than anything else Sanderson has done)
 
Hmm, I also really like the stormlight archives
 
user15026
I got bored.
 
12:39 PM
I know Mistborn and Stormlight are getting a lot of love. I'm not sure about the rest of his books.
 
I haven't found anything from Sanderson so far that I didn't like
 
user15026
I tried Warbreaker and Elantris and I didn't finish either of them
 
user15026
Same with Alloy of Law
 
I liked them all, but yeah, especially Alloy of Law is kinda weak compared to mistborn
 
I might read Alloy of Law after I finish the trilogy. I think I'm going to read a few other books first.
nah, I'll wait on alloy.
Read Name of the wing + Stormlight first
 
user15026
12:42 PM
Name of the Wind is pretty awesome
 
How is the second book in the kingkiller chronicles?
 
user15026
Right now I am kinda in a fluffy books stage (reading the Nikki Heat novels) because I don't really have the brains for anything else
 
user15026
@Wipqozn I've not read the second one
 
Name of the Wind reads like someone's fanfic about themself
 
@AshleyNunn wait, there are actual books released from the series?
 
12:50 PM
 
@Sterno Are you going trick or treating tongiht @Sterno?
 
@Sterno yes I googled it =p. It was more amazement than a question
 
@Wipqozn That's the plan, but it's supposed to be 25F with windchill. That's -3.8 for you Canadian people
 
@Sterno Put on a windbreaker.
 
@Sterno s/Canadian/not american
 
12:51 PM
@Wipqozn That would cover up my daughter's costume
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden Yep. They're pretty decent. The first one is pretty short, but they're good
 
@KevinvanderVelden Are there any non-American non-Canadians in here, right now?
 
@Sterno Put the windbreker on first. Also, what is she sdressing up?
 
@Koviko yes
 
user15026
@Sterno Here it is supposed to snow tonight/tomorrow
 
12:52 PM
I hope @SkyDrift is dressing up as a fox.
 
@AshleyNunn Same here
 
AND MAKES STERNO JUST SING 'WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY' ALL NIGHT
ALSO CAPS LOCK FOR SOME REASON
 
@Wipqozn An elephant. My wife tried to dress her as a princess but she wanted to be an elephant.
The elephant costume actually looks a lot like the one from the What Does The Fox Say video
 
@Sterno Your daughter rocks. Elephants are much better than princesses.
 
@Wipqozn because he has to sing it very loudly, duh
 
12:53 PM
will we get Halloween pics of @SkyDrift?
 
> Today, the scale is primarily used in the United States, and is also used in the Cayman Islands, Palau, Bahamas and Belize
 
If anyone or their children are dressing up for Halloween you need to post Bridge pics. It's the law.
 
user15026
@Sterno Awesome.
 
user15026
I was going to wear my MLP hat thing today but I forgot it at home, and tonight I don't really have halloween plans
 
@Sterno Are you going to rehearse the bellow?
 
12:54 PM
@Sterno yes, and to my knowledge no one from those countries is regularly in chat so my correction was still more accurate than yours
 
It's not an easy sound to make!
 
@Koviko multiple even.
 
@Koviko yes; also, the UK only switched to Celsius about 40 years ago, so older people still talk in Fahrenheit, and no one can understand them
 
user15026
Pretty sure the air conditioning is on in here. shivers
 
I swear tonight I'm locking this window shut, this opening it during a freeze warning stuff is getting old
 
1:04 PM
@Unionhawk ANd then they break it in their attemps to open it, and you can't even close it anymore.
 
Sounds like the perfect plan
 
@Unionhawk I had a roommate once who would always turn off the AC and open a window because he was saving the planet or something. But there were people who smoked outside the window. Everyone but me in this scenario was a jerk.
 
The main thing is my desk is at this window, so opening it causes a uni-cicle really quickly
 
a unicycle? can you even ride one?
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm just pointing out that you're clearly discriminating against Fahrenheit-using countries. You racist.
 
1:07 PM
How are people opening the window without your wanting it open if you're the one sitting by the window?
 
Or culture-ist. or something-ist
 
@StrixVaria @Unionhawk probably isn't gutsy enough to rip out one of their hearts and feast on it, thus establishing himself as the alpha room mate.
 
@Wipqozn PROBABLY
 
Pretty much that
 
You could also try peeing on the window to mark it as your territory.
 
1:10 PM
@KevinvanderVelden NAH, I THINK YOU ARE A SECRET CANADIAN
 
@OrigamiRobot ssssshh
 
@OrigamiRobot @Arperum is a secret Canadian? I am fine with this.
 
I WOULD WATCH THAT TV SHOW
 
@Wipqozn Joke. OLD. LONG DEAD. HEART RIPPED OUT. EATEN RAW.
 
@Arperum whoa, @KevinvanderVelden, calm down!
Okay I'm done now.
 
1:11 PM
Are you?
 
@Wipqozn hey, he's the one who's upset about it
 
@Unionhawk Probably.
 
They decorated my daughter's daycare with fake spiderwebs and spiders and she FREAKED THE FUCK OUT when she saw them
Not in the good way
 
LEAVE @Kevinvarperum ALONE
 
@KevinvanderVelden THE JOKE IS... Nevermind
 
1:12 PM
@Sterno that's most upsetting.
 
On the plus side, I got awesome hugs.
 
Feb 4 '12 at 18:12, by Wipqozn
@OrigamiRobot: Everything I say is a lie.
 
@Sterno SEEMS LIKE POOR PLANNING
 
user15026
@Sterno Oh no :(
 
@OrigamiRobot FRANK AND SADIE WERE ON NPR.
 
1:13 PM
I NEED TO GET BACK TO TAH
 
@Sterno SOunds like the most awesome stupid plan ever.
 
I'VE BEEN BINGING ON DRESDEN
 
@OrigamiRobot Get caught up before the Tee vee show!
 
@OrigamiRobot jeah! Dresden
 
user15026
Tiny Snickers bars are totally breakfast, yes?
 
1:14 PM
@AshleyNunn yes
 
Yes
 
@AshleyNunn Everything can be breakfast. So yes.
 
@KevinvanderVelden THIS BOOK NEEDS MOAR BOB
 
@OrigamiRobot Bob is the bested
 
user15026
@Arperum I like this theory of breakfast
 
1:15 PM
EVERY BOOK NEEDS MORE BOB
 
Bob for president!
 
VICE PRESIDENT MOUSE
 
@AshleyNunn So do I! I've had fries for breakfast once, it was good. or pasta.
 
Also, I have a metal request.
 
user15026
1:18 PM
@Arperum If breakfast = first thing you eat in a day, I have had some very strange breakfasts
 
@OrigamiRobot TAH?
 
@StrixVaria Thrilling Adventure Hour
AKA Best Podcast
 
@OrigamiRobot Metal request?
 
or 2nd best
 
@OrigamiRobot Specify.
 
1:20 PM
Oh, by the way. Happy Halloween, nerds.
 
@AshleyNunn breakfast is in my book generally before 12PM, after that point you are lunching.
 
@Arperum Something with vocals like Dragonforce. I don't know how to describe it beyond that or with a different example. Like, more melodic?
 
@Sterno Your mom's a nerd.
 
@Wipqozn Thank you.
 
user15026
@Arperum Oh, okay :)
 
1:20 PM
@OrigamiRobot More melodic than Dragonforce?
 
More singy, less grumbly
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Lady voices, or dude voices?
 
Dragonforce is all singing...
 
@OrigamiRobot edguy
 
1:21 PM
@StrixVaria No, that was an attempt at describing what I meant
 
@KevinvanderVelden This was a bad time to ask since I can't see YouTube...
 
Listening to Dragonforce for the first time in a while, I see what you mean about their singer.
 
@OrigamiRobot ooh =p. Delain - We are the others was the one I linked to
 
If you can send me suggestions on steam, that would be optimal
 
1:22 PM
BRIDGE
Trick or Treat?
 
Otherwise, remind me to ask later.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't have you on steam
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Stupid question, right answer is always treat
 
@AshleyNunn Oh, okay. If you guys chose trick I was going to change my gravatar back. I guess I won't though, since @AshleyNunn has decided otherwise.
 
1:24 PM
Tell me when you got it
 
Yay Halloween.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn it's okay, I like you this way
 
@OrigamiRobot I added you, though steam couldn't find fdisk7mbr. I went through FAE's profile page
 
Hammerfall, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Battle Beast (female vocals)
 
Weird, I don't know how steam does usernames anymore
 
1:25 PM
@Arperum Sonata Arctica comes to mind too.
 
Yes, sonata arctica is good
 
@StrixVaria True.
 
avantasia #1
 
@Rapitor Avantasia is awesome live. I've seen them once, that was an awesome show.
 
For Dragonforce, I like Through the Fire and the Flames and none of the other 2-3 songs I've tried
They seem to recycle lyrics a lot
 
1:27 PM
If you want songs that don't do that sonata arctica try "death aura" and "what did you do in the war dad" by sonata arctica
 
Or, like, phrase things the same
But liking only 1 or 2 songs by a band is not uncommon for me
 
@KevinvanderVelden This just shows me that I have no idea how to classify music because I wouldn't call this metal.
I don't know what I would call it, but still.
 
@OrigamiRobot it's symphonic metal. I believe the general rule is "Hey artist, what are you calling this? Metal? Oh jeah sure"
 
1:33 PM
I just need a device that analyzes my brain and picks music from all genres that I am sure to like.
 
Well you're the robot! Go build it =p
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, Trick or Treat is less of a choice and more of a threat.
@OrigamiRobot This is basically what Pandora is if you spend enough time massaging it.
(Or at least, it's what the original vision for Pandora was.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am doing an experiment with a Pandora station to only thumbs up songs I love and thumbs down anything less to see what I end up with.
 
user15026
Dear person beside me - self-study means you study by yourself, which means you use the tools and resources we have to get things done, not that you ask me the answer to each and every question
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz eh, i dealt with pandora for a while. it was quite bad
the ability to just choose my own music was a better idea

Q: Alternatives to Raptr with gametime tracking

ChuI have been using Raptr for 4 years and I liked it very much. However, lately the PS3/Vita trophy tracking is not working and by the looks of it, its not going to work anymore/in a long time. I dislike having to check different websites for all of my stats so I am would like to know if there is...

 
user15026
@Rapitor Yeah, with most streaming stuff I get so many things I don't like that I just get frustrated and give up
 
So, apparently PS4 Share Play isn't so bad... if the host is on a wired connection
 
@Rapitor I like the idea of listening to music that I didn't specifically choose, but I still enjoy.
It just feels nice.
 
@OrigamiRobot Last.fm had a nice feature of a radio station that played your stuff+random new stuff
but thats not free so fuckit

Anarchism

Proposed Q&A site for all those who want to learn more about anarchism.

Currently in definition.

 
1:41 PM
@AshleyNunn Thank you!
 
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment politics in SE seems dangerous
 
the religion sites aren't doing so badly
 
user15026
@Rapitor I'd like to think that people could discuss it like rational people like they do on the religious sites for the most part
 
@OrigamiRobot must love Microsoft's newer versions of Office and Visual Studio and stuff. All the menu items LOOK LIKE THIS
 
user15026
I mean I am not convinced it will work in every case, but I'd like to think we've moved past forum troll sort of attitudes
 
1:45 PM
BRB, creating Gamergate.SE - Proposed Q&A site for all things GamerGate!

The other problem, for me anyway, with things like Pandora is that the more things are supposed to be targeted toward me, the more annoyed I get when they're wrong.
 
@OrigamiRobot I feel like it's telling me that I've been thumbing (?) things incorrectly.
"But these are exactly the traits you said you like!"
 
@Sterno "it's about ethics"
 
Speaking of MLP hats earlier, I stopped wearing mine in TF2 as I've gotten some new hats this year.
 
I didn't get any votes on my Dora question today. :(
 
1:47 PM
Although I still find it amusing that half the mercs have custom voice clips talking about unicorns.
 
@Sterno Maybe you need to edit it to push it back up.
Show some additional research about the Swiper. Maybe post a picture of it.
 
@Sterno You got a couple more downvotes
 
user15026
@Sterno Dora question?
 
@AshleyNunn SFF
@Sterno has been causing trouble.
 
Oh yeah, I need to start shouting SNIPER NO SNIPING while playing TF2.
 
1:50 PM

Q: Why does saying "Swiper, no swiping!" three times prevent Swiper from swiping?

SternoIn Dora the Explorer, Swiper often tries to swipe an object that Dora and Boots need to reach their destination. If they confront him and say "Swiper, no swiping!" three times before he reaches it, he'll say "Oh, man!" and leave. However, I've seen in some episodes they only manage to say it once...

 
WELL THEN
 
I was tempted to grab the question and reply too :P
 
It's this kind of quality that the SE network was built on.
 
user15026
I am amused that I can access SFF from work but not Arqade
 
@Sterno Oddly enough, that is somewhat true. (c.f. the Programming Cake question on SO)
 
1:52 PM
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is actually the case
 
user15026
@JasonBerkan Programming cake?
 
@AshleyNunn Same here, but I can access Arqade over https...
 
@AshleyNunn The most delicious kind of cake
 
user15026
@Powerlord I've not tried. I am just being amused at where the limitations are
 
@AshleyNunn I don't even know if it still exists. Was something like, my boyfriend is a programmer and I want to put code on his birthday cake. What should it be?
 
1:53 PM
@AshleyNunn the word game probably.
 
@Wipqozn My comment has 65 upvotes. I feel so loved.

Q: What code would you have on your wedding cake?

SembianceI'm getting married on April 4th, 2009. My future wife has agreed to let me have actual code on top of the wedding cake. Woot! There isn't very much room, four, maybe five lines (it's only a 6" cake because the main cake is a bunch of cupcakes). Any language is okay, Java, JavaScript, XML. A l...

 
user15026
@JasonBerkan Ah, similar to the "what should I name my cat, because I am a programmer" question on P.SE
 
SO was a wild place at the beginning.
 
was?
 
1:55 PM
Wilder
 
way wilder
 
nice recovery
 
meanwhile, I've finished page 3 of my TF2 inventory D:
 
finished in what way? do you mean it fills three pages?
 
Yeah, I had dedicated pages 1-3 to weapons
but now they are full
 
1:57 PM
OK
I stopped playing tf2 when they added the inventory
 
I stopped playing TF2 when I realized it downloaded a 6GB update every 2 days.
 
@DanHulme you're missing out :)
 
@DanHulme That was 5 years ago
 
@Powerlord yeah, that sounds about right
 
I've been using the baby face blaster almost non-stop lately
 
1:58 PM
Well, no longer than that as inventory started appearing in 2008...
Anyway, while @badp only has 3 inventory pages full, I have 16.
 
it's just so much fun
 
I need to craft my extra items into metal to reduce that.
 
@JasonBerkan for( ; ; );
awwwww
 
@Powerlord eh. It's just that I need to reallocate my pages now
 
(My inventory has 22 pages)
@badp Well, I have 7 pages set aside for random items and MvM fabricators.
However, it's bled past page 11 now, which is bad since I have 1 page per class between 12 and 21 (and 22 is for all-class hats/miscs/taunts)
 
1:59 PM
Page 1-3: weapons
Page 4: economy and consumables
Page 5-6: class-specific cosmetics
Page 7: all-class cosmetics
Page 8: halloween cosmetics and gift-dupes
Page 9: MvM garbage
Page 10: crates
