@Wipqozn wow. I'm guessing you have a reason?
I can't remember the last time I bought a non-edible item from anywhere other than Amazon
 
@fredley even clothes?
 
@fredley Not really.
 
socks, for example
 
I've never 100% understood how amazon works.
3
 
@DanHulme Sometimes! I'll replace clothes I like where I know the sizes
 
12:02 PM
You'r enot really buying from Amazon. You're buying from other companies, aren't you?
 
@Wipqozn Sometimes, it says who you're buying from
Most of the time it's usually Amazon
 
Today's Listening | Electronic / Chiptune
 
well maybe I'll start to actually use Amazon.WHO KNOWS.
I do know that the Canadian amazon is supposed to be complete shit compared to the American one.
 
@Wipqozn Magic. Strong, mysterious magic.
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, Amazon is very US-centric, even the UK gets things years after the US
 
12:06 PM
@fredley Yeah, I've always blame @Sternold for that.
also in Canada eBooks only appear to be a $1 cheaper.
 
@Wipqozn That's pretty good, most books I buy are <$10 anyway so that's pretty cheap
 
well maybe one day I will buy an eReader.
For now I'm just going to stick with my physical books.
What is the battery life like on an eReader?
 
@Wipqozn Weeks
 
okay, that does help make thme more attractive.
Well my mother has an eReader, so I could try that out sometime to see if I like it
 
My Kindle Paperwhite will go through a week's holiday (where I read a lot) with no trouble
 
12:13 PM
for now physical books ll the way.
 
Also the data connection works in basically every country and gives you access to Wikipedia for free, as well as buying more books
 
i.e. you can be in another country and still buy books on it
 
@3ventic This would be funnier if it didn't have the stupid labels
 
@GnomeSlice it's all over the internet and it's as old as the internet without the labels
 
12:22 PM
Yay
 
I have no idea why my mod_rewrite isn't working and it's annoying
 
@3ventic because mod_abuse
 
facedesk
 
that's my guess at least
 
If you aren't reading Lumberjanes then what the junk are you doing sitting there go out and buy this book right this instant
 
FAE
12:39 PM
@Wipqozn yay!
@fredley hahahaha no
You can get a discount on buying the audiobook if you buy the ebook, but that's not free and there's no discount for buying the dead tree version, as far as I know.
 
@FAE are you an eBooker?
 
FAE
@Wipqozn I have a kindle, yes.
I de-DRM anything I buy from Amazon though, as they could revoke the license.
 
Ah I see they pull the same non-sense as other digital products
 
FAE
Aye.
 
you don't own this file, you just own the right to look at it
 
FAE
12:45 PM
Right.
So I keep de-DRMed copies for myself.
 
KFC here recently started offering scone and coffee combo for breakfast and afternoon tea
It's such a strange thing for a fast food outlet to sell. Not to mention the complete lack of chicken or deep fried products
 
Man, you guys are going to make me buy an eReader at some point ,I can feel it.
You guys are basically the worst.
 
@Wipqozn Move to somewhere horrible like Singapore where eBooks sell for more than physical books.
 
1:02 PM
Morning, Bridge
 
@Frank Your face is the morning.
 
FAE
Ugh, Bioware's teasing a new game and they've got this ARG going on and they say "Cologne, Germany". I want to go to Gamescoooooom, aaaaaagh.
It's right there.
 
@FAE Break in?
 
@Wipqozn Does that mean I look radiant all the time?
Ba-dum-tsh
 
@Frank well, you do have the classy beard and suit.
 
FAE
1:06 PM
@Wipqozn Thing is the tickets themselves are pretty cheap, it's mainly the hotel stay. In Sept., I've got to buy tickets to go visit my parents in Dec., so I can't really afford to drop the cash on going to stay in Cologne. :/

Q: How can I beat Maexxna on Heroic?

RaidriOn Heroic she sends two minions back to your hand every turn and fields first a lot of small minions and later some bigger and dangerous ones? What are some strategies to use against her? (Question inspired by the similar question for Anub'Rekhan and Faerlina.)

 
@FAE That whole needing money thing is the worst.
 
@FAE Yeah this is US only for now
 
@Wipqozn Yeah. Having a central system of value that everything revolves around is horrid.
 
FAE
1:10 PM
@Wipqozn Yeah.
 
TBH if there is a book I really want to own, I buy it then torrent the ebook, and feel 0 guilts
 
Logigun ^
 
@fredley That does sound like a viable solution
@GnomeSlice Based solely on the screencap I'm going to assume it's horrible.
 
@Wipqozn ok
 
Watched the trailer. Doesn't look that good. The idea of it is nice, but the puzzles look very simple.
 
1:13 PM
@Wipqozn Yup. Depends on torrent availability, but for most of the stuff I read that's not a problem
 
@Wipqozn Lemme guess. Sokobond?
 
@Frank Nope.
 
@Frank Logigun.
 
Damn. Got it wrong.
 
@Frank LIVE WITH THE SHAME OF YOUR FAILURE FOREVER
 
FAE
1:14 PM
@Frank Jochem played a bunch of that the other day; he really enjoys it.
 
@FAE Everybody enjoys it
 
@FAE I've heard good stuff about it.
@Wipqozn Meh. I'll just go sulk and work on my models.
 
@Frank YES, YES YOUR TEARS, THEY ARE DELICIOUS
 
Next step: clean all the gold chrome!
 
licks franks face

This sure got weird quickly.
 
1:17 PM
@Wipqozn Yes. Yes, it did.
 
I have no idea what book to read first once I finish Dune.
I was planning on Daughters of the EMpire, but for some reason I feel like reading Mistborn, even though I suspect I won't enjoy it as much as Daughters.
 
Solution: toss a coin
 
@Wipqozn Mistborn is awesome.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Your mom's a coin.
 
If you don't enjoy it, you are a monster.
 
1:20 PM
Today's Tune: MonsterCast
 
@Frank Or maybe you just have bad taste in everything.
Just a thought.
 
You should just leave all your big life decisions to the toss of a coin
@Wipqozn lies, he likes Mistborn therefor he can't have a bad taste in everything
 
35 secs ago, by Wipqozn
@Frank Or maybe you just have bad taste in everything.
Man, I just want to read.
 
@Wipqozn nope, the liking mistborn bit disproves that hypothesis
 
@Wipqozn Nope. My taste is the authortive view. If you don't agree, you're a monster.
 
1:22 PM
@Frank I suppose that's fair.
 
This version of rd_asteroid is substantially better

Q: Where's a good place to mine a solid amount of iron ore?

MungingI've been using transmute mineral ore alot (after discovering how much it helps level smithing of course) and was wondering, where are some good locations for harvesting iron ore? I'm aware of halted stream camps massive supply, are there any other iron decent iron ore locations like it?

 
Oh, hey. The Model Hobbyist proposal is gaining some traction.
And three of the four questions at 10 score are mine. Derp.
 
@Frank Nifty proposal.
Didn't realize it existed.
 
@Wipqozn It's one of the few proposals I've followed.
I figured it would be a great place to learn some new techniques and processes for my model building.
 
1:31 PM
Google Officially buys Twitch. The video service monopoly is close. they only need movies now...
play movies doesn't count
 
well, they won't get lovefilm from amazon
I hope twitch will get a useful Android app as a result of this

Web Designing

Proposed Q&A site for professional web designers and all web developers searching for new web site design standards, tools, tips and tricks

Currently in commitment.

 
@DanHulme I don't really want to see candy crush showing up on streams...
 
Committed. Would be nice to have a SE site dedicated just to web design.
 
and in movies im talking like netflix/hulu
 
1:35 PM
@Rapitor YOU MEAN MONOPSONY
 
@Rapitor Well, I was actually thinking of for watching, rather than broadcasting
their current app is a bit rubbish
 
@Wipqozn Committed. You forgot to add your referral link though
 
@fredley I wasn't aware it mattered.
 
@Wipqozn repssssssss
 
OR OLIGOPOLY.
ONE OF THOSE
 
it doesn't onebox if you include the referrer? that's a bit naff
 
SHOULD I GOOGLE "NAFF" WHILE AT WORK?

Q: Oneboxing for Area 51 referrals

ManishearthI was trying to drum up support for the Indian Culture proposal in an Indian-language chat room I'd found. Anyway, I realized that while I could post the image and the hyperlink, I couldn't post a hyperlinked image, which is sort of needed if you post the image, since it had a nice, yellow "suppo...

 
1:39 PM
@AUTOGAMICADBOT Probably not.
@Wipqozn your face wasn't aware it mattered!
Oh buuuurrrrrnnnnn
 
FAE
@AUTOGAMICADBOT just means stupid/lame
 
@FAE For example: @Wipqozns jokes are the exact opposite of naff.
 
@FAE I GATHERED THAT, I WAS JUST MAKING A FUNNY
THANKS FOR RUINING IT!
T_T
 
@AUTOGAMICADBOT Yeah @FAE, way to ruin it. what a ruiner.
 
SAYING RUIN SO MUCH REMINDS ME THAT I HAVE A COWORKER WHO PRONOUNCES "RUNE" KIND OF LIKE LIKE "RUIN"
 
1:44 PM
well, there's a rumour it originally stood for Not Available For something beginning with F, but OED dismisses that as unlikely

Q: Any server to advise?

PhokeI play minecreaft for a short time (2 months) in offline but i want to try the online version. So, have you any ser to advise? I prefer a no PvP server, but PvE survivial if it exits. Have a nice day !

Q: Is there any replay value in the Curse of Naxxramas solo adventure?

RaidriThe first playthrough of the normal mode bosses and the class challenges gives you new cards for your deck(s). And the frist complete playthrough on heroic mode gives you a new card back. But is there any reason to replay the new solo adventure after you have cleared it one time?

 
@AUTOGAMICADBOT Roont
 
very well, flagger, I've censored it
 
1:46 PM
.7? might as well write with a Sharpie marker
 
@Lazers Close powers, activate: form of: close vote.
 
@DanHulme 0.7mm IS PERFECT
ONLY TERRIBLE PEOPLE WRITE WITH LESS
 
you won't be wanting my .25 G-TEC-C then
 
UGH, WHY DOES THAT EVEN EXIST?
 
1:49 PM
@AUTOGAMICADBOT So you can inject yourself with ink
 
MY DAY IS RUINED FURTHER BY THIS KNOWLEDGE
 
FAE
I always preferred .5 for mechanical pencils over .7
 
@FAE PENCILS ARE FOR COWARDS
ALWAYS TRYING TO HIDE THEIR MISTAKES
 
@AUTOGAMICADBOT RUN, COWARD
 
BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
1:50 PM
TBH the G-TEC-C isn't that good: the fineness stops the ink flowing smoothly, and makes it very scratchy
 
FAE
@DanHulme Blegh.
 
@DanHulme THAT'S WHY 0.7 IS PERFECT
 
but I find a .5 too broad
 
1.0 IS SMOOTHER, BUT IT'S HARD TO WRITE SMALL
 
Curious why you deleted this @fredley.
 
1:52 PM
@Wipqozn Taking a closer look
 
I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH I LIKE THE PEN BODY YET, BUT THE INK CARTRIDGE WILL FIT INSIDE A G-2 BODY IF NOTHING ELSE
 
Interpreted it as someone rambling about foil cards
 
@fredley Yeah, understandable.
But it's actually an answer to the question. He could clean it up for clarity though.
 
I mean there's an answer there. A terrible answer, but an answer nonetheless.
 
@Wipqozn It looks like there's a bit of value in it, but most of it is overshadowed by sheer guesswork and irrelevancy.
 
1:53 PM
I'll undelete and comment
 
@fredley The answer is correct according to the other answer, which was posted after it.
@fredley Fantastic.
It's a new user, so aving his first answer not be great is to be expected
 
Wipqozn for user 2014
 
Wipqozn for mod, down with @fredley
 
@fredley heh
 
And with today's payday, I have completely replenished the savings I burned through when I was laid off! That is a cause for celebration.
 
1:59 PM
