1:00 PM

(and don't have to wait extra long)

user15026

It's weird because I have an online invoice, so she obviously prepared my stuff

@AshleyNunn Weird.

user15026

Yeah, I don't know what happened, but hopefully she has some idea

@AshleyNunn I mean this jokingly but... check your bitcoin wallet!!!!

user15026

The only wallet I have is attached to my work account....

user15026

1:02 PM

It's empty, as it should be

I'm almost relieved

user15026

yeah. me too

user15026

that would have been a pain to sort out

1:21 PM

So I see one my two real enemies on the SourceMod site was made a plugin approver. Time to go through all my plugins and make sure none of them were unapproved when I wasn't looking.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Okay, this intersection would totally terrify me.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Surely that's done Cyriak-style?

@LessPop_MoreFizz I call shenanigans!

@badp Have I ever mentioned how great John Oliver is?

LessPop_MoreFizz

I don't know Cyriak, but it's almost certainly done in after effects.

But even if it's just rotoscoping, my statement stands that that intersection would terrify me.

1:28 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's pretty cool.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Even if people were obeying the traffic signals?

@LessPop_MoreFizz judging by other videos from the user, it's definitely cgi

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well the very end looks to have actual traffic flow. It seems to be a normal, multiphase set of lights. Probably 2 full phases and 4 half phases, or just 4 full phases.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@powerlord ain't no way those signals could coreograph that dance. It's digutal effects wizardry.

Q: How do I get aggro of a boss who is immune to taunts?

In the new Rakata Prime flashpoint there are 2 bosses that are untauntable. Is there any way to get them to attack me or do they randomly attack enemys?

@fredley I want to believe it's fake, but it seem so real.

@Wipqozn It is real. However, it is not used to control the flow of traffic

Traffic Light tree

The Traffic Light tree was created by French sculptor Pierre Vivant following a competition run by the Public Art Commissions Agency. It was situated on a roundabout near Canary Wharf, at the junctions of Heron Quay Bank, Marsh Wall and Westferry Road in one of London's financial districts. Eight metres tall and containing 75 sets of lights, each controlled by computer, Vivant described the project thus: "The sculpture imitates the natural landscape of the adjacent London Plane Trees, while the changing pattern of the lights reveals and reflects the never ending rhythm of the surrounding domestic...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Nowhere did I say that the video was real.

However, the intersection itself could be... and you can see there ARE traffic signals in the image, they're just "ignored" by the digital wizardry

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Powerlord Oh. Yes, I'm sure it was shot in an actual intersection with actual cars. And that part is not scary. It is the way people behave therein, enhanced by computers.

Q: What games can I play in Multi-Player with slow Internet connection?

I have a internet connection of 512 Kbps to 1 Mbps. Please suggest me games that work in multi-player or co-op even at this speed. My Hardware is not a bottleneck. The game should be playable. Please comment if you have played the game yourself, or just expect it to work at these speeds. Sorry f...

Kevin van der Velden

@LessPop_MoreFizz considering the sand doesn't get any new tracks on it and stays in place with cars going over it, ooh and the fact that there are like 6 different cars

This restaurant is paying (or rather discounting meals 25%) for 1-star reviews on Yelp.

I am so hungry :(

@Powerlord Good straightforward PR

@OrigamiRobot Hi hungry, I'm Wipqozn!

HAHAHAHAHA

1:54 PM

eats @Wipqozn

Ooh. Coursair 8GB DDR3 RAM for slightly over $80.

@Frank What speed?

Corsair has so many ram types, which one?

@OrigamiRobot Uh. 1866? I think that's the speed.

newegg.ca/Product/…-EMC-092214-Index--DesktopMemory-_-20233580-L‌0G

I think I have the same. Let me check.

2:03 PM

I'd call that slightly under $90 :P

@OrigamiRobot Six of one, half a dozen of another. :P

Nope, I have the 2x4GB Kit.

Would you call 1:45 "slightly past 1:00"?

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank More like 2 of one, 8 of the other

user15026

Yeah, I was expecting a price below 85

2:07 PM

That's it! Voting is closed! @Frank is ~~@Unionhawk~~ wrong!

Next order of business!

LessPop_MoreFizz has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

@OrigamiRobot that's stickied? Really?

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord @LessPop_MoreFizz has returned =p

@GnomeSlice best I can tell it was a joke or something

LessPop_MoreFizz

@KevinvanderVelden And departed just as swiftly!

2:08 PM

@BenBrocka =[

Speaking of stickies, I see the @GraceNote one is gone, has this ban gone away?

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, clearly one of my fellow moderators Hates Fun.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord it's still in the star list, therefor it is still true

There, that's better

user15026

@Powerlord I wouldn't chance it if I were you. Just sayin'.

Kevin van der Velden

2:09 PM

Also it's been pinned again

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not the one touching it, but generally, pinned things, IMO, should be used for things that are of some level of importance.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Powerlord No. But keeping it pinned in perpetuity is... counterproductive. the folks that need to have seen it, have, for the most part seen it.

I just died a little inside; I'm reinforcing some boilerplate code.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Things of importance take priority. But there is room for Fun when there is nothing of importance.

Fun

user15026

2:10 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I disagree on that, but that's cool.

Speaking of controversial subjects: Pop-tarts or Toaster Strudels?

user15026

@Powerlord Usually neither.

@Powerlord Pins only last for a short amount of time.

LessPop_MoreFizz

No, but really:

2 mins ago, by LessPop_MoreFizz

@KevinvanderVelden And departed just as swiftly!

Why can't we even agree on fun?

2:11 PM

@Powerlord Pop tarts are gross.

Of all the things

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord belgian waffles

Yay. I'm hitting a referential integrity error when deleting a row, but the conflict isn't even happening.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley To be fair, Fun. is kind of a terrible band.

Kevin van der Velden

@Frank access?

2:12 PM

@StrixVaria I like the frosting that goes on pop-tarts, and no other part of them

@KevinvanderVelden Nope, this one's SQL Server.

Kevin van der Velden

Huh

@Frank You checked dependent tables?

Kevin van der Velden

I don't know what's more depressing: That I'm looking for the C# code behind a report by searching the project for the number 24, or that this is efficient...

@fredley -fun would like a word with you.

2:13 PM

@BenBrocka I like the chocolate and/or vanilla pop tarts.

@Powerlord Had. Worked this time, for some reason.

That sounds possibly better, the ones with fruit junk inside always taste gross to me

@-fun wazzzuuuuup

user15026

I used to love poptarts but I bought some recently and they were not nearly as good as I recalled them being.

user15026

Same with toaster strudel

2:15 PM

The worst part about poptarts is the paste that gets stuck to your teeth/gums

@OrigamiRobot Any food that turns to paste when you start eating it is the worst.

@StrixVaria One could argue that's all food.

Anyone in here got any experience with TMS?

@StrixVaria I dunno, food that turns to paste before you start eating it might be worse.

@OrigamiRobot Vanilla anything is the best anything.

user15026

2:21 PM

I used to work with someone that was only on a puree diet, and we tried periodically to puree things the rest of the house was eating to give him some variety from the frozen puree meals the house bought for him to eat (there were only two kinds, and we figured he might like some variety) - there are some foods that are extra disgusting in puree/paste form.

@OrigamiRobot Well, add in the 20 MIR, and it's actually lots under $80. :P

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley trans-cranial magnetic stimulation?

@KevinvanderVelden No, not that TMS

@AshleyNunn Poor guy. :(

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice vanilla bacon?

user15026

2:24 PM

@Frank Yeah, it was kinda a struggle because he also had pica, so he tried to eat just about anything, but he was a choking risk. (This made for some interesting days.)

@KevinvanderVelden Is that a thing? I would try it.

@AshleyNunn Medical reasons?

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice I have no idea, I wonder if it should be

user15026

@Yuuki Yep. (I worked in a group home for a while before getting my home care job back when I worked as a PSW)

Kevin van der Velden

Though science has already clearly established that bacon thing is best thing

user15026

2:26 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I don't think it would work if it was just bacon with vanilla flavour, but with the right combo of things, maybe?

user15026

Like candied bacon with some vanilla in it might work?

Kevin van der Velden

CHAT! In a few weeks when I'm living on my own with access to a oven and what not remind me to figure out vanilla bacon!

Seems there are already some recipes for vanilla bourbon bacon.

Problem solved.

My boss said I can just work from home tomorrow so I can get my computer parts delivered.

Jason Berkan has added Wipqozn to the list of this room's owners.

2:27 PM

I feel like the only thing I can gather from this chat is that people should probably stop eating paste. I've gone my life without eating paste and it's been pretty enjoyable.

@StackExchange Good, gooooooood.

@GraceNote Are you sure you didn't eat paste as a child?

Actually, I'm not sure if @GraceNote was ever a child.

user15026

@GraceNote I never ate paste/glue, but I ate foods that felt pasty.

user15026

@5pike Yeah, that's what i was thinking of

user15026

@Wipqozn Yay!

@Wipqozn I'd do arts and crafts and have all that excess paste slathered on my hands and then it'd dry and I'd peel it off and be amused for ages. But no, I never ate it, because on top of figuring it wouldn't taste good I also value my internal health.

user15026

2:29 PM

@GraceNote I loved peeling dried glue from my hands.

@GraceNote I was thinking more along the lines of baby food. that's considered paste, right?

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn that was fun, downside of using super glue, really hard to peel off (doesn't stop me from trying)

user15026

@Wipqozn I'd say that was more mush than paste

@Wipqozn Maybe what y'all ate may have been a paste but I sure didn't have that.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden Oh man super glue hurts when you try to peel it

2:30 PM

I had actual proper foodstuffs.

user15026

I have no idea what baby me ate.

3

@AshleyNunn I parsed that wrong

My mom tells me stories often enough that I know it.

user15026

@fredley If I had eaten a baby, it would have been "I ate" instead of "me ate" - I am not using Cookie Monster speak :P

@AshleyNunn Me either.

2:32 PM

@AshleyNunn Unless you are cavewoman Ashley Nunn

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley which would also increase the chances of eating babies.

user15026

@fredley I lack the brow ridge and other skeletal features commonly associated. I think we're good :P

@AshleyNunn noted

@Frank I never count MIRs

@GraceNote Yesssssssssssss

I used to cover my hand in glue and wait for it to dry.

good afternoon all

2:36 PM

@FAE gday

I hated getting glue on my hands.

Kevin van der Velden

Hey

I hate getting stuff on my skin period.

@KevinvanderVelden Autumn seems to have decided to be extremely on schedule this year

@Wipqozn Even air?

2:37 PM

I remember when we had to make these masks things out of that thing whose name I can't think of what now but I hope you all know what I'm talking about and it drove me crazy since you needed to sculpt it on your face.

@OrigamiRobot Especially air.

I never had to do anything that involved putting things on my face.

Kevin van der Velden

@FAE It is currently sunny, we had lots and rain and thunder on saturday though

Oh, I think I remember the name of it now. I could say it, but I'm hoping you all just magically know what I mean.

Outside of makeup such as for theatre, but well that kinda makes sense for it there.

@GraceNote I tried to refuse, but they said I needed to. It was the worst.

I was so afraid of getting stuff in my eyes too.

2:38 PM

I must conclude this to be a weird Canadian thing.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn like paper mache?

@Wipqozn Did you try crying?

@OrigamiRobot No, I should have though.

user15026

@Wipqozn We never had to do that which is good, I would have hated it

@KevinvanderVelden That's exactly what it is! Thank you for confirming you guys rock.

user15026

2:39 PM

The glue peeling liking was only when it was on my hands

@Wipqozn Doesn't that take hours to dry?

Cruel

...paper mache masks sound horrible to make.

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike to fully harden and dry, I think you could take it off faster

But yeah it seems like a bad material for masks

@KevinvanderVelden You can.

I never actually was in any sort of paper mache making throughout my academic career.

2:40 PM

You leave it on for a short while, then take it off.

Kevin van der Velden

@GraceNote we put paper mache on balloons to create... something, can't remember what

I can't remember how long it actually was but it felt like years.

@GraceNote We covered balloons with it.

@GraceNote It was. I'm pretty sure it's considered torture.

I know of things like doing it with balloons. It's a common thing. Just not one I ever had in my classes.

2:41 PM

Never really made something with paper mache, but I have a feeling that this is not something you put on your face and wait for it to dry

Even when I went to college and started making collages for my grades I didn't do paper mache.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden We made pretend hot air balloons in elementary school that way

I always liked making claws out of paper in school

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn I honestly can't remember what we made with it =/. I remember putting paper mache on balloons but not the reason

I did it like very day

So much paper wasted.

2:42 PM

The only other time I used paper mache was when my dad and I built a mountain on our model railroad.

I've never done anything with paper mache

Kevin van der Velden

@JasonBerkan That sounds so cool

I want to build a model railroad =[

ugh, mailto links don't work for me again

user image

can somebody translate this contact address for me

I don't speak computer

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice %40 is @, %2E is .

@GnomeSlice %40 is @ what he said

2:43 PM

@KevinvanderVelden It's a rich person's hobby now. I have a room in the basement for mine, but no cash to do anything about it.

Kevin van der Velden

contact@thoseawesomeguys.com

@KevinvanderVelden don't write it

Thanks though.

@KevinvanderVelden It's cloudy and really windy here, chilly out too.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice it's the contact email, if you have a domain name you will get spam on the contact, webmaster and a bunch of others

I guess.

2:44 PM

@Wipqozn I remember doing this

for anybody wondering who I'm contacting: moveordiegame.com

It was not fun

IGS official bsns

@KevinvanderVelden But now @GnomeSlice will blame himself

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice it doesn't even require scraping, it really is "Oh hey! A domain name, let's try it with contact@, webmaster@ and bla bla"

2:45 PM

@GnomeSlice I find this to be an amusing sentence. I'm not sure why.

@GnomeSlice Sounds important.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn naah, that's srsbsns

@GnomeSlice If you ever run into %40 or the like, you can look it up on an ASCII table under the hexadecimal (or hx) column.

@Powerlord that's a handy link, thanks

@Powerlord Oh, that is useful.

Q: Is the gem type of enchanting amulet/ring random?

Is the gem type of enchanting an amulet/ring random? I remember at one point, it was a topaz, then it became a ruby and lately, it was an amethyst. I remember seeing gem only as the requirement to upgrade, now it is a mix of some of the mats + gem.

2:50 PM

Ugh I don't feel like writing email right now

Kevin van der Velden

WHY MUST YOU CRAMP JAW-MUSCLE

THIS IS NOT PLEASANT GO AWAY

user15026

That sounds extremely unpleasant.

I seem to run into %28 and %29 a lot (which are parentheses)

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn it is, fortunately it has mostly stopped already

user15026

That's good.

2:54 PM

o/

Kevin van der Velden

Now to be careful to not yawn for a while... oh wait, I'm at work? Shit....

@KevinvanderVelden I nearly dislodged my jawbone once (which is also quite unpleasant), but never had a cramp there.

@KevinvanderVelden You made me yawn!

Q: Does Workshop Automation use Workshops?

The Workshop Automation perk states that Steamworks will convert resources to the craft-able tools. I currently have 21 Workshops, meaning 126% increase to crafting output. Does this perk take my Workshops into account?

@KevinvanderVelden I hate when that happens.

Kevin van der Velden

2:57 PM

@5pike that sounds really painful =/

@OrigamiRobot yay!

Your ping made me see the message and I yawned again!

I just yawned. I hate you all. Especially @KevinvanderVelden.
