wait, this all started @GnomeSlice asking @LessPop_MoreFizz if he knew some random person from NYC? Oh Gnomie, you're such a goose. A Canadian goose!

David M

Canada = larger than New York. But New York > usable (read non-frozen) land space.

@Unionhawk I'm going to miss @GnomeSlice :(

@DavidM Most of Canada is not 'frozen'.

I've figured out something else to add to cheeseburger soup: bacon.

David M

@GnomeSlice Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhtttt.

@GnomeSlice You... have a lot of tundra.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@DavidM In fairness, most of NY is frozen right now.

GnomeSlice

@FAE In the North, sure.

Unionhawk

David M

7:02 PM

Permafrost is not frozen water, per se

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll give you that!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice That's kind of most of your country.

There is a fairly narrow strip of land in Canada that is actually inhabitable.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz Northern part of Canada, I meant.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice More like the northern 80% of Canada.

GnomeSlice

@LessPop_MoreFizz My aunt and uncle lived in Resolute for years. All of Canada is inhabitable.

Unionhawk

@LessPop_MoreFizz There's a fairly narrow strip of Canada that is inhabited at all

@GnomeSlice Roughly 90% of Canadians live within 200km~ of the US border.

David M

@GnomeSlice So is Antarctica.

GnomeSlice

@FAE ...So?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Unionhawk for the most part, everyplace in the world that is inhabitable is inhabited at this point, unless restricted from doing so for reasons or preservation or exploitation (read: parkland or farms.)

GnomeSlice

7:04 PM

That doesn't mean the rest of it is 'uninhabitable'

David M

@FAE That's just so they can cash in on the lucrative cheap prescription drug and hockey jersey trade!

FAE

@DavidM And send their doctors to the US. :/

Yuki

@GnomeSlice You mean "uninhabitable"?

I dunno who's on what side right now.

David M

I'm on my OWN side if that helps!

GnomeSlice

@Yuki Yeah that's what I meant.

Grace Note

7:05 PM

@Frank I'm not sure whether I'm more horrified that you're adding bacon to this or that there's actually "cheeseburger soup"

Unionhawk

So, I might be considering studying in China/Hawaii for a summer maybe

This whole thing sounds prettypretty cool

Frank

@GraceNote It's actually pretty decent. Just not decent enough.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Unionhawk One of those places is not like the other.

Unionhawk

@LessPop_MoreFizz shrug

Wipqozn

Cheeseburger soup sounds disgusting. Bacon just makes it worse.

FAE

7:06 PM

@GraceNote Cheeseburger soup is good!

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh please, everyone knows that Hawaii and China are basically identical.

Unionhawk

I think it's more to do with the fact that there's a Marianist college in Hawaii, and there's also the UD China Institute. And they're both in the Pacific area

David M

@Wipqozn True story.

GnomeSlice

FAE

@Unionhawk What's a Marianist college? :o

@Unionhawk Ouch.

Frank

@Unionhawk Bleh. That sounds like my total tuition for college.

David M

@Unionhawk Yeah. That's about what Med school cost me. College was bit cheaper back then, around $28K/year.

Unionhawk

7:10 PM

@FAE I go to a private, Catholic/Marianist university. The Marianists are a particular Catholic order that emphasize the importance of the Virgin Mary.

Yuki

@Unionhawk I thought Catholics already did that or they even more so?

Unionhawk

@Yuki Even more so.

FAE

@Unionhawk Oooh okay. My sister went to a Catholic university (Marywood U in PA) for her Masters.

David M

@Yuki Some orders are founded on the basis of different patron saints, etc. They all revere the Virgin Mary, but it doesn't mean that she is considered their patron . . .

But, WTF do I know, I'm Jewish.

Unionhawk

Society of Mary (Marianists)

The Society of Mary, a Roman Catholic Marian Society, is a congregation of brothers and priests called The Marianists or Marianist Brothers and Priests. The Society was founded by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, a priest who survived the anti-clerical persecution during the French Revolution. The Society is one of the four branches of the Marianist Family. Along with the other branches, the Marianist Brothers and Priests look to Mary as a model of faith and spirituality. They believe that the best ways to live a spiritual life are to share their faith with others, work with the poo...

Someone decided to "translate" the creationist questions asked at the Nye vs. Ham debate (WARNING: Probably insulting to creationists).

Q: How is JP calculated at the end of battle?

What determines how much JP you earn at the end of each battle? One thing I can determine is that each enemy has a set number that you are awarded, but how can you increase this? In a test of fighting the same enemy, I have been rewarded with 15, 16, 18 and 22 JP at the end of a battle.

MBraedley

Our end users don't follow our advice, do stuff that we've told them not to do if they want to use our software, and then complain when our software doesn't work. We told you it wouldn't work already! Use the software that came with your hardware, and that we support, not some third party software that we begrudgingly allow for unrelated purposes! </rant>

Sterno

I'm working on an app that breaks if you have .NET 4.5 framework installed. It needs 4.0, and only 4.0

It drives me insane, and I imagine it would drive the user insane if they actually had any control over their own machines

I believe a complaint to us, when that situation inevitably occurs, would be justified and couldn't be shrugged off with "We told you not to use that"

MBraedley

@Sterno Part of the problem is that they think they're being all smart and stuff by using this third party software, but they aren't because they're effectively losing information. The hardware vendor says "yeah, you can use that software to collect your data, but you really shouldn't" and we agree with them.

Sterno

@GnomeSlice No

GnomeSlice

@Sterno ok

It's not that we support one version of some library and not the next, but that we support one data format that's recommended by both us and the hardware vendor, and not the data format used by this third party software.
