7:01 PM
@Yuuki I read this as you addressing god...
 
This looks so cool.
 
@Texenox while I also think it's really cool, I can see someone asking to put it behind a link or something, since it's such a flashy gif and some people get irritated by that
 
@Yuuki sorry, put too much water in the pot
 
@Chippies Well, I guess technically god is allowing our cafeteria to make rice poorly.
@GodEmperorDune These guys actually didn't put enough.
So some of the rice is actually still kinda hard.
 
@Yuuki potayyto, potauto
 
7:04 PM
@Yuuki depends on how much you believe the god is in control over everything
 
@Chippies Hm, yeah, you're right.
 
Rice is pretty difficult
 
free will and all that
 
if you don't have a rice cooker
 
@Rapitor I expect a university cafeteria to have a rice cooker.
 
7:04 PM
@Chippies i prefer to think of it as a higher power's "for the lulz"
 
@Rapitor pour boiling water on rice at 1:1 ratio in a pot/pan, put a cover on it and leave it for a bit
 
@Yuuki i doubt it. they probably just boil it like any other pasta dish. rice cookers are rare in kitchens
 
depending on type of rice might have to leave it on a low heat
 
X cups of rice should be boiled in X to X+2 cups of water.
 
there's is absolutely nothing difficult about cooking rice, except forgetting the heat on and having the water evaporate and burn the living shit out of everything
 
7:06 PM
Boil on high until the water level goes below the rice.
 
also 1 cup of rice makes a LOT of rice.
 
Then turn to medium or low.
The pot should be covered at all times.
 
@Yuuki so, half a cup of rice should be boiled in 0.5 to 2.5 cups of water?
that formula doesn't seem to scale well
 
@Chippies I usually just use matching cups of water.
 
if you have no pots, you can cook rice in a pan as well, as long as it has a lid
 
7:08 PM
Or you could eyeball it and have the water level roughly an inch and a half above the rice.
 
i want rice now, thanks guys
 
I actually like cooking rice in a pan, because you can actually keep coking it and add stuff to it directly in the pan after it's boiled
 
@Yuuki how does that work regardless of the shape of the pan?
 
@GodEmperorDune I have no clue, but it works for me.
It always turns out nice and fluffy for me.
 
@Yuuki makes a difference if you put rice in first or water, as well as how long the rice has been in the pot with water after you measure the difference
 
7:09 PM
@twobugs joy2key is also terrible
but yes there is little advantage to playing with a controller
 
@Chippies You should always wash your rice before you cook it.
 
maybe you get to move at non-45° angles?
the shooting however is always in a compass direction
 
Put in a bowl or pot or whatever, add water, swirl it around, drain off the water.
 
@Yuuki pfft, what am I, a chef in an expensive restaurant? :P
 
Do that twice or three times.
@Chippies Actually, chefs in expensive restaurants don't wash their rice because it's usually of higher quality.
 
7:10 PM
TIL i've been washing rice wrong my entire life
 
LIFEHACK: put rice in bath, wait for the rice to absorb all of the water
then it'll be washed outside AND inside!
 
You wash cheap rice because they coat it with stuff.
 
i thought it was just excess starch
 
That's also part of it.
 
Starch is stuff
 
7:12 PM
We've never washed rice
I think

Q: how do I find the center of a minecraft pe world?

GriffinI am going to have a creative challenge and I need to know where the center is. I have tried searching it and I still have not found the anser.

 
well maybe sometimes? but not for say risottos
 
but the starch is naturally occurring, it's not like someone adds it at the rice factory
 
pretty sure rice starch is part of rice
 
risottos are too much work
 
7:13 PM
I'm just saying what I do at home.
 
all that stirring
 
So CNN apparently removed their poll about last night's debate, which had shown Sanders winning by a very decisive margin.
 
I honestly don't know how you Americans do long election cycles. I'm tearing my hair out at every mention of the election here, and it's only been a month and a half.
Or maybe two months.
 
@JasonBerkan its not really up to us
hell its not even the real election yet
 
@Sterno That would allow me to cast close votes
 
7:19 PM
@JasonBerkan desensitization
I think it degenerates to mere sports talk shows
 
@GodEmperorDune waiot, what
MY WORD
TIL @GodEmperorDune doesn't live in the Netherlands
 
@Wipqozn and i thought my headcanons were bad
 
I feel like my whole life has been a lie.

Q: How to make a mob attack a mob

creepersgaloreI want hostile mobs to attack each other. In commands. I know something like entity.setTarget will work, but I don't know where to put it (Where in the summon command).

Q: Piston is powered without redstone?

SCRPTI have this problem with my redstone. Im trying to build a trapped chest piston trap, but 3 of the pistons will just not deactivate. it stays powered even when its not connected to anything. is there any way to stop this?

 
SHOVEL KNIGHT MAIN STORY: COMPLETE
Unlocked the plague of shadows content now
 
7:23 PM
@Chippies rice is mostly starch, it's certainly not added later
 
@Wipqozn good luck with that jerkwad
I'm trucking along with him, but not as easily as I did with shovel knight. he's just so awkward
 
@Rapitor Thanks
@Rapitor Yeah, doesn't surprise me.
 
@Chippies Been there, done that
Or rather, I thought it was set to low and instead was set to high.
...and made the mistake of walking away and doing something else.
result? Lots of smoke, blackened pan, etc...
Now, whenever I cook rice, staying right there is mandatory, so I always take a book or my 3DS when I go to cook it.
Also, I see I'm getting rep daily from the && vs AND question on SO. I wonder if someone linked to it somewhere.
 
@Powerlord Actually, I just upvoted it.
Which reminds me that I should really come back to SO someday.
 
I wonder how many people upvoted it just because of $truthiness
 
7:34 PM
@Powerlord Someone used $truthiness?!$ WHERE I NEED TO UPVOTE IT
 
283
A: 'AND' vs '&&' as operator

PowerlordIf you use AND and OR, you'll eventually get tripped up by something like this: $this = true; $that = false; $truthiness = $this and $that; Want to guess what $truthiness equals? If you said false... bzzzt, sorry, wrong! $truthiness above has the value true. Why? = has a higher precedence...

 
Yay!
downvotes
=p
 
PHP. downvotes
Wow. There are no downvotes on that answer. Usually someone gets annoyed at something and clicks down.
 
Fun fact: That answer has given me more rep than some people here have total on SO.
 
@Powerlord yes
you have more upvotes than I have SO rep
 
7:38 PM
@Powerlord raises hand
 
I actually have a gold PHP badge on SO now. I think most of the rep requirement is just from that answer. However, I must have also answered a bunch of php questions as well.
I apparently have 232 php answers.
 
@Powerlord that's 232 too many
 
@GodEmperorDune I have 410 java answers...
 
java > php
 
The tooltip for Java is weird for me. It lists 3 of them separately.
Herpa derpa... I was adding the questions asked and questions answered.
 
7:41 PM
 
(I don't ask many questions on SO)
 
@Yuuki I keep laughing
I am a horrible person
 
@KevinvanderVelden Don't worry, we don't judge here. invites to another channel
 
@Powerlord I'm not the one that posted it though!
 
7:44 PM
@Yuuki I think even florida man has his limits
 
Woo, caching seems to work (note: may be inaccurate due to caching)

Q: How to check that cache is working on current page?

user11153Some modules silently turn off caching on certain pages. How is the easiest way to check that this is the case and also identify problematic module?

 
Well, this was caching a multilayer map service. The documentation for doing this kind of sucks, and the provided server tool straight up doesn't work.
So far we're looking at a performance increase of a factor of 10, which is nice.
My friend made a new PSN account. RIP MC_Cum, you glorious and vulgar fool :(

Q: What does this paricualr symbol mean/stand for? (Endless Space)

Quasimodo Sometimes my heroes show me this symbol, but I don't know what it acutally means. What does this symbol stand for? TIA.

Q: Is there is a possibility of VAC ban because of using Tunngle?

Abdul Rauf MujahidTunngle creates virtual LAN network and let gamers play with remotely located friends via LAN. So is this possible to get VAC ban if we use Tunngle with steam ? "Playing multi-player mods which do not modify core .EXE and .DLL files" clause was previously mentioned at steam vac page according t...

 
@Yuuki wat
 
wat
 
@Yuuki Huh. I'd watch that
Wouldn't listen to it, but I'd watch it
 
haha yes
 
8:22 PM
@Rapitor Just beat the intro level with plague knight. He'sa lot more awkward to control than shovel knight, that's for sure.
 
yep
 
@Chippies I think it's pretty clear to everyone that @Wipqozn is worse than more than 10 Hitlers.

Q: Where is the witchery spirit world inventory saved?

kutschkemI just encountered a bug in witchery (i suppose) which made it such that on death, my inventory was not saved but put in a gravestone instead. It is a pain to get it back, plus it contains baubles that should have stayed in the overworld, but got put in the grave as well. I would like to try to t...

 
I just noticed that the BASIC game doesn't have any option to save progress
Which is a shame since I'm at work.
 
8:30 PM
it auto saves
unless you mean like to progress between different devices
 
@Rapitor Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
 
8:48 PM
Well that was probably the most intense hour of my life by a long shot
I can't say anything about it, but try and book it. It's like nothing else on the planet.
 
@fredley Book what?
 
@SaintWacko You Me Bum Bum Train
Probably never playing in a theatre near you
 
@Yuuki the comparison should be that OP is worse than 10 @Wipqozns
 
Maximum over rep
 
hahah

@fredley you have brought shame to the bridge

Y'all need http.
Y'know there's a sandbox for you to mess with chat formatting, right?
 
Most inline markdown works in chat, along with some block-level markdown
 
it worked for a little bit!

@Yuuki i do but I couldn't find it again :(
 
user15026
@Chippies I will take a code if you still have.
 
Room #1.
 
oh no i didn't know that existed
 
9:03 PM
@Yuuki thats an older one
but still hilarious
 
@GodEmperorDune Fine.
 
@spugsley is going to have a field day
actually why is @spugsley not in the reply list?
 
@spugsley the baby puncher
I just noticed that too
 
user15026
Hasn't been around recently enough, probably.
 
@spugsely pls visit us after you tire of babby punching
 
9:07 PM
I cast summon @spugsley!
 
Summon Greater Baby Puncher.
Or we could perform a ritual to summon She Of The Thousand Mouths.
 
@AshleyNunn I did the thing! I should now be able to do the meat things to get the clan basement going.
 
I rolled an 8
I don't know what that means
 
@Arperum grats
did you have fun in teh twitch tower?
 
I got my pet!
Also: 5 million clan Karma!
@Yuuki can you buy us a basement? I can't buy one.
The meat is available.
 
9:15 PM
ooh, please whitelist my main, I'll join when i get on tonight
 
Which dungeon do we want first?
 
@GodEmperorDune I do not know who your main is :p
 
Slime Tube is the simplest.
 
@Arperum sytras
 
@Yuuki Your pick. I bought this as a thank you for the movie nights.
We can open the slime tube and one other. Or I throw a bit mor meat in and we open all three.
 
9:17 PM
Well, it's a clan thing. Slime Tube is the simplest while Hobopolis is probably a bit more fun.
Dreadsylvania is a bit more advanced and we should be more acquainted with clan dungeon mechanics before we do that one.
 
I vote for opening all three :p
I upped the meat stored.
 
@Yuuki i want to get into dreadslyvania so i can write down the pencil noncom
 
I'm going to finish up my turns for today and after that start a single softcore sealclubber run. Since I want to smash stuff to dust.
 
i got a ghost pencil in my current clan
 
I have done hobopolis runs in the far past. I think I went into the slime tube too, didn't play when dreadsylvania was a thing.
but lvl 14 is maybe a little bit low level for going in blind.
I think I have a hobo code binder with all symbols filled out. Or maybe one missing. Not sure.
Full book it seems.
 
9:24 PM
the only hobo code i'm missing is the cyrpt one
 
I have them all it seems.
 
I get to buy fancy booze today.
I'll be sharing it with members of my dance studio, to celebrate gaining one more level.
 
does @DownVoters actually work?
 
@Aequitas No.
 
@Aequitas only if you do it in all caps
 
9:28 PM
It's generally a whine for reasoning.
 
and threaten
ahem
COME AT ME @DOWNVOTERS OR I'LL REK YA!
 
@AshleyNunn alright, is steam chat good for you?
TOO LATE! ALREADY MESSAGED YOU!
 
COME AT ME @DOWNVOTERS OR I'LL REK YA!
 
U WOT M9
 
@Frank Whine wine?
 
9:32 PM
AIMS CANNON OF DOOM
 
@fredley tiny violin
 
@Yuuki Knightsbridge, in London, has 6 consecutive consonants
 
I'm pretty sure there's a Hawaiian word that's just all vowels.
 
Probably
 
there was a ytmnd back in the day with some guy rapping with all vowels
 
9:34 PM
"Oaioai" - to entwine
 
but no way i can remember how to spell it
ah, i lied, there's an L in it
 
I am continuing to argue with this silly guy. I'd wonder why, but it kills time.
 
You could also not do that
 
it's so annoying when assholes target you specifically as an engie
you can't do jack shit about it and your team needs you to do the thing but doesn't help you do the thing
 
@Frank Who is being silly?
 
9:39 PM
@Frank Is it me, or is it our friend from SO who is of the opinion that there is one true ruleset for SE?
Or am I terrible at guessing
 
@Unionhawk Yep.
Much of his argument, what little there is of it, is, "SE RULES SUPERSEDE SITE RULES, SO LISTEN TO ME!"
 
That was a yes to an "is it x or y" question but I assume the second one
Aha
 
that sounds like drama, but where is link?
inb4 zelda's bff
 
Or, as I like to put it, "Blah blah blah, I know better than you, so of course I'm right."

@Frank Sounds like someone else I know.
 
9:41 PM
@GnomeSlice Who, @ronnie?
 
> Just because it has been highly voted and not closed does not mean that it is allowed by the rules.
 
Like I and at least 2 other users have observed, user <3k, very negatively scored on meta, it doesn't matter
 
I wonder why people from other sites keep trying to tell us how to do stuff
 
shrug
 
He seems like a troll to me. He just wants to argue.
 
9:48 PM
Who, @Frank?
I agree. :P
 
@GnomeSlice hue
 
Oh snap.
 
Huehue
 
The gauntlet has been thrown.
 
Oh relax, he can't even see it
 
9:48 PM
where's @Wipqozn to comment on that sick burn?
 
@GnomeSlice and @Frank, pistols and meta tags at dawn.
 
@GnomeSlice Yes. Continue the pointless charade. There's a reason I have you ignored. You're just reinforcing why it's such a good decision.
 
Oh maybe he can
Hey buddy
 
@Frank how did you respond to that specific message if you have @GnomeSlice ignored?
 
Transcript
 
9:50 PM
ah
 
Show posts
 
Or that
I couldn't give less of a shit if somebody I no longer want to talk to has me ignored.
So go right ahead
 
@GnomeSlice hey i thought we were cool
 
You don't like me. I don't like you. We both get it. I leave you alone, I would ask you return the courtesy.
Rather than these childish sniping attacks.
 
If you're a clown, I'm gonna call you on it
 
9:51 PM
@Frank I mean, technically you claimed yourself to essentially be arguing for the sake thereof, so...
 
@Unionhawk Depends on the motivation.
I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing.
 
Are you sure
 
I'm arguing because it kills some otherwise unproductive downtime.
 
Sake thereof, kill time, same thing
 
Pretty sure its still unproductive
 
9:53 PM
@Unionhawk That's one strange broad definition.
 
I just calls it like I sees it
 
@GnomeSlice If you're going to attack me, I'm going to start flagging. Same standard, see?
 
@Frank Better argue with him about it
You claim flags against you being rude are all invalid so I guess I have nothing to worry about, right?
 
Sake thereof -> sake -> alcohol -> drunkenness -> impaired judgment -> unnecessary risks to other people -> possible death -> -> killing -> killing time. Logic seems sound to me.
 
@GnomeSlice Think about it; you're applying a rather strict standard to my interactions here.
 
9:54 PM
Try it and see what happens
 
Standards, when applied against yourself, I should flag.
 
Can't see what that's a reply to, sorry. On mobile
 
Hue
 
So either you're applying double standards, or you're not practicing what you preach.
Make up your mind.
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: The general Arqade room chat, Where we talk about any old tat, We happen to find, But for one thing, mind: Games, we don't talk about that. [-context] [-fun] [-games] [jin-fanclub] [lazers] [-mercy] [-nice-things] [ontology-with-p-pansy]
 
I'd prefer to just leave you alone. But, hey, you want to engage in sniping, you do that.
 
Because I think you're actually harmful to the community
 
2 hours ago, by Chippies
user image
 
You chase people away and make them feel unwanted
Nobody else seems willing to call you out on it
 
9:57 PM
@GnomeSlice And I think you are. Dramatically worse, because you support the crap.
 
@Frank @GnomeSlice is observing an irony that myself and @Wipqozn observed a few days ago regarding users who will literally defend their point to the death. You have a tendency of defending your point to the death.
 
@GnomeSlice maybe no one else sees that as a negative thing?
 
At the end of the day, we're a community. We muddle through together. I'm willing to leave you alone. I ask you do the same.
 
Lmao @Chippies
"Congratulations! You're a huge dick!"
 
hmmm, do I HP pastamancery or do I perm a second skill?
 
9:58 PM
I lol'd
 
@Unionhawk I am vocal about my viewpoint.
I don't really care if others don't agree with me. But I do think the point needs to be made.
 
@GodEmperorDune I do partially agree with @GnomeSlice though, just not enough to be vocal about it
 
You can ask me to do whatever you want, but don't expect me to listen to you
 
@GnomeSlice Congrats. Then next time I see you engaging in infantile sniping, I'll be flagging.
