'Death by bacon' now legit cause of death
 
It already was, we've known that foods high in fat cause heart disease and such
We've known that for decades now
 
@fredley 'death by hating on archer' is a much more legit cause of death
 
@GodEmperorDune meh/10
 
Y'know. Can we stop with the constant hacking at @fredley for not liking archer? I don't even know the show, but I already hate it because of the constant shit going on.
2
 
i've been awake for around 18 hours now, it was funny to me
 
12:05 PM
@Arperum Mmm... No.
2
 
@Arperum The pinging will continue until morale improves!
 
Suggestion: hack at @Arperum for not liking the hacking of fredley for not liking Archer.
Maximum overhack
 
@fredley we have reached cheryl level logic
 
Although I guess @fredley didn't Friday us too hard last friday... maybe this is his way of making peace? Or just lulling us into a false sense of security...
 
@fredley That only works until I get fed up and throw repeat offenders on ignore.
 
12:06 PM
That one was bad, I admit, but annoying @fredley is, in general, too good, plus, may I remind you that he literally became a mod to increase his trolling capacity
 
@twobugs It's lulz all the way down
 
@fredley i lolled at this, but i think its the caffeine
 
Jun 12 at 14:17, by fredley
@Unionhawk I literally only became a mod to expand my trolling power
^^ Truf
 
wait, which literally is that?
 
So as far as I'm concerned, @fredley is a pilot's federation sanctioned target and therefore fair game
 
12:08 PM
@GodEmperorDune literally literally
(figuratively)
(literally)
 
i somehow feel that i walked into that one
 
Not sure why those guys are in charge of deciding that, since they're as neutral as it gets, but...
 
> A new study of hot dogs found 14.4 percent were "problematic in some way" with some even containing human DNA.
3
 
Would a David Cameron joke be too far here? Yes? OK
 
@twobugs Also ~10% of vegetarian hotdogs contained meat.
 
12:15 PM
@Unionhawk it would be in boar taste
 
I doubt it'd bring in the bacon
 
@Arperum That's nasty. "Haha, fooled you into eating meat!" (I realize it's not like that, probably just mistaken processing, but let me dream)
 
@twobugs And now they give you cancer too!
@Unionhawk There snout wrong with a little joke
 
@twobugs Oh, chances exist that actually plays and some dumb worker in the production chain actually acts like that.
Just like people trying to cause muslims/jews to eat pork or other stuff they don't want.
I find that extremely disrespectfull.
 
@Arperum See, I really want to believe you're wrong about this and nobody is that much of a childish asshole, but I know you're right.
Like... why would you trick people into eating food they don't want to eat?

Q: How to use numblock to behave like the number's row?

k0pernikusCRPGs games offer lots of numbered dialogue options one can chose from with the number's rows. Yet even though most standard keyboards also offer a numblock, keypresses there are not recognized by them, ignoring the numlock setting as well. It seems even though both type the same number, the numb...

 
@twobugs I've seen articles about shops that have halal parts, and they regularly have to throw away a whole rack of meat because some asshole threw some pork in it, and that causes all of the other meat/food in that place to be not halal. (Because of the chance of it now containing pork)
 
o_O
is the meat not sealed?
 
I don't know how the rules for Halal are. Maybe contact with pork is also bad?
 
I'm worried about what kinda shop has open meat, so that other (customers?) can just chuck bits of meat in
 
So the packages are contaminated.
 
I have no clue how it actually works. It's been a while since I read that article too, so practically no chance of finding it again.
 
@Arperum Contact with pork is bad
No contact, ever. That includes all cutlery, IIRC
 
@PrivatePansy what if it's in a sealed package?
Also, can't they just sell it as non-halal now?
 
@djsmiley2k The packages might be covered in traces of pork.
 
@djsmiley2k Muslim cashiers here handle packaged pork products with gloves
 
12:24 PM
@djsmiley2k Maybe, I don't know.
 
oh right ok
 
@djsmiley2k Halal certification for an eatery covers the entire shop
 
That's crazy. People who do that are real assholes.
 
A supermarket can have different sections, but for a shop it's usually the entire shop that's certified
 
Right I see
sucks :/
 
12:26 PM
@twobugs Yup.
I've also read things about people like feeding muslim guests pork and then going like "Ha! you didn't know, but you've just eaten pork. Now you can't go to heaven!". The only flaw in that plan is that IIRC there is also some rule that makes the person serving the pork go to hell, and not the innocent who was tricked.
 
Blah. I wanted Tues and Weds off to play Halo 5 but I have a meeting Wednesday morning :(
 
@Arperum It is extremely disrespectful. Doing something like that just makes a person an asshole.
@twobugs Meeting are the worst
 
@Arperum That's just all kinds of insane. To me, the fact that it's a thing that doesn't effect the server in any way but they're doing it solely to be disrespectful makes it even worse
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
@twobugs Yes.
People are the worst.
 
@Arperum Man, I hate people.
That's just racism or... whatever the religios equivalent is
well, racism
Since must people hate muslims seem to think anyon whose not white is muslim
Case in point: The talk of Obama being a muslim
which therefore also means he hates america
and also wasn't born in the USA
The important thing is Donald Trump is one of those peopl, and is running for president
 
12:31 PM
I'm not religious, have no special diet or anything, but I will respect the diet of anyone who has one. I might not be able/willing to prepare some of them though.
 
user58869
@Wipqozn do frankfurters count as hot dogs? i eat loads of those
 
@Arperum Yeah, basically the same here.
 
But I won't force these people to it what I made, or stop them from making their own food.
 
I don't believe in a higher power, but I don't go around disrespecting those that do
8
So long as you're not using your religion as a reason to discriminate / hurt others then I don't really care
 
Yup.
 
12:33 PM
@Arperum For stuff as strict as Halal requirement you most probably can't do it properly anyway
 
Yeah. I'm an atheist (I probably fall under weak atheism nowadays), but your faith (or lack thereof) is your own deal. I'm not going to try and prevent someone else from going to their idea of heaven
 
@PrivatePansy That's the part where I said I'm not able to.
 
Gravity Falls (most likely) finale part one is today
GET HYPE
 
I know I am not going to cook for jewish people either, my kitchen is not good for that. I have no separate stuff to keep dairy products and meat separate.
> 2/3 of the human DNA samples were vegetarian products.
From that report.
 
That's really screwed up. Haha, you don't want to eat meat? Well you just ate HUMAN!!
 
12:39 PM
@twobugs It might mean some workers spit in the food during the production, that would also cause human DNA.
 
I like my explanation better. Plus they sometimes find actual body parts in processed food, which is all kinds of horrible.
 
@Arperum or hairs, or sneezing, or excema or...
 
@twobugs I think are explanations can be combined.
@twobugs Yea, if a finger ends up in some mixing thing, good luck finding that back.
 
I think there was a Capri Sun or whatever that included a human eyeball in one of the juice pouches
 
dafaq
 
12:42 PM
@twobugs Wat. How.
 
The company reassured everyone - "Don't worry. It's not a real human eyeball. It's just a disgusting mold growth that happens to look like one."
 
@twobugs WHY IS THERE MOLD IN YOUR FOOD.

Q: How can someone help me beat a Boss in Dark Souls Co-Op?

ZarathustraxI thought that by using the White Sign Soapstone I will summon someone to help me beat a boss, I did beat a boss like that but instead of he helping me, it was like I was helping him.

Q: I can't find any platera bulb in terraria even though im on hardmode

death noobI can't find any plantera bulbs in even though im on hardmode im playing terraria on android

 
I wonder if I can download the Halo 5 launch patch before the game releases. It'll be kind of annoying if I cant since the patch is like 5-10GB I think.
 
19Gb
 
12:48 PM
Barf. That's a bigg'un
 
dons live auction voice 19 GB do I hear 25? 19 and now 25
 
There doesn't seem to be an option in the menu to patch? And I can't launch the game yet. So this means either it auto downloaded the patch (ahahahahahaha) or I have to wait until it goes live!
 
@fredley Go is the new Perl, eh?
 
because can't curl D:
or cron
or grep...
 
12:54 PM
@badp Well, there was an entire AAA game in Go after all
You know, Counterstrike: Go
ha cha cha
 
@twobugs There also was that was large parts F#
 
You're fired
 
I forget which one it was precisely
I guess it wasn't triple-A
it was one of those space exploration-y ticoon-ey games
 
Hm, what color Pebble Time Steel should I get?
Amazon has Gold, Silver, and Black
They all look nice. Gold looks like a little bit too much.
 
@twobugs blue
 
1:00 PM
@badp no, red!
 
@GodEmperorDune bordeaux
 
@twobugs X.
 
@badp Green.
 
@fredley I like how you can just specify the from address as a string so most email servers will filter it straight to spam.
 
@Arperum Fluo green.
 
1:02 PM
@badp Fluo pink!
 
@twobugs amber verging on brown, like a bad pee
 
@Arperum Fluo shocking pink checkered with green
 
@badp And Yellow stripes.
 
@Arperum and teal accents
You now owe the internet oracle a MTT-brand puzzle watchface
 
@badp That's @twobugs' job.
 
1:05 PM
when you do play through this yourself make sure you insist you didn't understand the explanation
 
@badp duly noted for future playthroughs
 
You're all fired! None of you even listed a valid option!
Wait. You're all hired!
NOW you're fired.
 
inserts quote about bridge and decisions
 
@Arperum Overruled, does not apply
 
@Unionhawk You are wrong, ergo, you do not apply.
 
user15026
1:09 PM
Personally I'd get the black but I just think black is nice and understated and works with everything.
 
Picking an invalid watch color is not a bad choice it is an invalid one
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm leaning towards the silver or black for those reasons.
Silver just looks nice. Gold looks great too, I just think gold looks a little much for a watch.
 
Silver is nice and no I'm not just being difficult
 
user15026
Is there a link to the colours?
 
@Unionhawk Asking the bridge was a bad decision.
 
1:11 PM
(insert four swords links)
 
@Arperum nope
 
Black or silver would be my choice.
 
@Arperum If we're gonna go that far, visiting the bridge at work is a bad decision :P
 
The quote specifically says "reinforce bad decisions" not "is a bad decision"
I know I said it
I was there
 
1:13 PM
@twobugs Life is just a pile of bad decisions.

Q: Weapon Stocks - Are higher numbers more effective?

DaniloVDuring weapon customisation in MGSV, one of the parts you can change are the stocks. My question is: Do the higher numbered versions of a stock confer incrementally better benefits? For example, does Sharpshooters Stock 3 have more of an effect than Sharpshooters Stock 1? The stock description ...

 
arugh something is going ping
 
@djsmiley2k you want to be pinged?
 
1:23 PM
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is going to be the worst week
 
this week, worst week
 
@StrixVaria Oh?
 
@Arperum Flying to Germany for 2 days.
Mandatory business trip.
 
@StrixVaria So two days in Germany? And then flying straight back?
 
@Arperum Yes.
 
1:27 PM
That does sound less than perfect.
 
It'll probably ruin my sleep schedule, too.
 
Where in Germany? Or is that forbidden knowledge?
And do you have free time?
 
Tomorrow I get to go to work, then go from work to the airport, fly to Germany, and then take a taxi from the airport there directly to the office and work another full day.
Hamburg, and I will have evenings free.
 
@StrixVaria Yikes.
That's way too far to go over there for an evening for me. If you were closer to the Belgian border I wouldn't have minded to come over and meet up. but Hamburg is just too far away.
 
No worries.

user15026
@StrixVaria that sounds horribly miserable. :(
 
@AshleyNunn I'm prepping myself for the worst so hopefully it's just meh instead of literally miserable.
 
@badp But I can read it
@StrixVaria Presumably you're sending this to yourself, and can unspam it
 
user15026
@StrixVaria here's hoping.
 
@Arperum I don't think any Bridge regulars live near Hamburg.
 
1:34 PM
@StrixVaria I don't know. Don't think so.
I know @MadScientist lives in Germany, but I don't know where.

Q: Is the Ultrasonic Fence broken?

Sebastian NegraszusIn Civ-BE vanilla, the Ultrasonic Fence made it impossible for aliens to come within 2 tiles of a city. In Rising tide, the mechanics were changed to merely discourage aliens to come close. But how exactly does that work? I assumed that the discouragement effect gets weaker if the aliens are an...

Q: Does the class of the character gambling at Kadala affect legendary, non-set, chances?

ThariusI know that due to the way Kadala works you are much more likely to see set items that are for your class, as opposed to other classes, when gambling. Does this hold true for normal legendaries as well? For example is it better to attempt to roll a Magefist from a mage compared with a monk?

Q: What happens if I activate WoW acc from old expansion code?

Renārs VilnisI'm interested in starting to play WoW coming from a started account, what happens if I buy and old WoW expansion such as Cataclysm, Wotlk, BC for super cheap and activate it? Will the account upgrade from starter to standard? And will I be able to level-up until bought the expansion level-cap or...

 
@Unionhawk Oh, I just heard about the new microtransaction gun skins that apparently let you one-shot bulldozers.
No, I am not kidding.
 
It's kind of fun to watch a game become a parody of itself.
 
@Yuuki "Skin" makes it sound cosmetic. These should not have actual ingame effects aside from the visuals.
 
2:29 PM
@Arperum should is the key word
 
Oh goddammit
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yes.
 
@Arperum Yeah but there's less money in that (maybe? It seems to work as a business model for some other games)
 
@twobugs It works for Path of Exile. The only non-visual thing you can buy in that game is item storage and extra character slots (but you start with a lot of character slots.
 
Path of Exile has a lot of cool ideas. I just could never get into the game itself
 
2:33 PM
I had one of those Summer Sale items for that game that I got a long time ago.
Never even played it, really.
There's my avatar at last.
 
@Texenox that flute hides enough of the weird face he makes that my brain can turn it into something abstract. Thanks for changing your avatar.
 
@Arperum No prob.
Also, only 95 away from the big 2k!
(reputation, as in)
 
I still don't like it, but it doesn't cause me to go mad(der). For as far as I can upgrade my levels of mad anyway.
 
Weird. Chat's not letting me upload images.
 
2:40 PM
@Wipqozn z-index:999 !importance:999
@Wipqozn morecss.org
 
CSS and memes, my two favorite things!
 
There we go.
That was weirdly postponed.
 
It felt like they had a few lines like that which they just kind of made the rest of the game around.
 
@Yuuki How is Patricia doing around there? I've heard that storm is going over Texas.

2:43 PM
There's this subplot which ends in a very unfunny holocaust joke.
 
@Arperum Lots and lots of rain yesterday.
But otherwise, not so bad.
Actually, the rain apparently helped smother a wildfire out near Austin.
 
@Yuuki That's definitely good!
 
Yay for natural disasters cancelling each other out!
 
I'm tempted to post a Filthy Frank video which actually might fit here (the Lifehacks one specifically), but I probably shouldn't.
 
to my limited knowledge of Filthy Frank, I would say those that care have seen it, and those that don't care, don't want to see it
 
2:53 PM
@Chippies Yeah, I'd have to agree.
 
filthy frank seems like it has a niche audience
you either like it a lot or you don't like it at all
 
Sounds like HowToBasic.
 
@Chippies A bit like a really strong Marmite.
@Yuuki Sometimes it's as NSFW as HowToBasic.
But it's usually just crude language.
I actually kinda feel tempted to post a HowToBasic video as an answer on Lifehacks.SE.
(cc @fredley @Sterno)
 
user15026
Dont do that.
 
@AshleyNunn ...I was joking.
 
3:01 PM
@Texenox it will just g et downvoted and closed and then you'll be sad and complain
 
@Chippies ...no.
 
user15026
In general trolling other sites is not very awesome. We'd get pissed if people did it to us. Yes, some sites are confusing and I am not sure how or why they still work, but they do. Trolling them isn't going to make that change, it will just mean that people will come back to us or whoever and trouble will ensue.
 
@AshleyNunn I already know that. I was making a joke.
 
user15026
It's more of a general statement.
 
user15026
I'm kinda tired of the LH as joke thing. Do I get it as a site? Not really. Do I accept that I don't have to understand it? Sure. SE is a company who is trying new stuff and I am sure they have their reasons for it. I don't have to like everything or understand it all.
 
user15026
3:05 PM
Sometimes weird stuff gets posted there, because it's a very open ended site.
 
I think those are fair points. It's one thing to point and laugh (which also isn't a great thing to do), but actually messing with them is different.
 
user15026
Yeah, pretty much.
 
Besides, all the real Lifehacks trolling happens in Meta these days. And it's not so much "trolling" as "let's discuss some real issues".
So I guess it's not trolling at all.
 
Lifehacks Meta has been dead for months
Aside from a on "vote to keep open"
 
CURSE YOU, FE: AWAKENING FOR STILL BEING FULL-PRICE 3 YEARS AFTER RELEASE.
I'D RATHER PICK UP AN ENTIRELY NEW GAME AT THIS RATE.
 
3:10 PM
@Yuuki so 'cousin's roomate'
 
user15026
@yuuki it's a good game, though.
 
@GnomeSlice One, it's probably more like "second cousins" or "cousin twice-removed". Two, it's a Spaceballs reference.
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm looking at it mostly to replace the copy that I apparently lost.
 
brb plugging this into WolframAlpha
 
I've got this hankering to do another playthrough.
But I'm not willing to spend $30+ on a game that I already bought.
 
user15026
@yuuki ah, yeah, I get that.
 
3:12 PM
@Unionhawk I would be disappointed if the answer is anything other than "absolutely nothing".
 
I should finish my first playthrough. It's not bad, it just felt like they took the FE series in a different direction than I was hoping for.
 
@Yuuki Possible relationships: cousin's former roommate, sibling's former roommate, your former roommate
 
user15026
@yuuki yikes even the cart only copies are going for 20+ on eBay. Wow.
 
@twobugs Apparently, one branch of the new Fire Emblem will be more like old Fire Emblem.
Strict progression, no open-world stuff, and higher difficulty.
 
One of my friends was trying to buy Gamecube games and apparently anything in decent condition sells for $$$
 
3:16 PM
@twobugs Hmm....
 
@Yuuki That sounds really neat. I think one of my bigger issues though is how the difficulty works in FE games. It typically comes from IS being assholes and/or the AI being really bad.
 
Yuss one of my classes is cancelled
 
Like times where you have to protect a suicidal NPC, reinforcements appearing with no prior warning, etc.
 
@Unionhawk I would like for one of my classes to be cancelled.
 
Right, time to play some Hotline Miami.
 
3:17 PM
I have another presentation today.
:(
 
I have an exam in one class and a bunch of nonsense in another
Which may translate to muted Undertale but I don't think I could handle that
The music is too good
 
I don't understand people who mute music or sounds in video games. Unless it's a replay or whatever.
You gotta hear the music for the FULL EXPERIENCE
 
@twobugs I mute music to play my own sometimes
 
I'll do that on a replay or grinding but I basically never do that on a first run
 
@twobugs Dude, Skull Face's monologue is so boring.
 
3:22 PM
Yeah, I got kind of close at that part. He just kind of talks a lot and doesn't really say much that is interesting.
It's also frustrating because it's clear he wasn't even a twinkle in Kojima's eye until Ground Zeroes.
 
I started messing with my iDroid about 1/4 of the way into the drive.
Maximum over-disrespect.
 
People started editing him in to older screenshots, which is funny.
 
@twobugs It's just really odd how Kojima has this tendency to retcon new villains into the continuity.
 
I think he was pretty good about that until recently. Skull Face is just... eh.
His VA is great, though.
 
No, it's not enough that Skull Face is/was a Cipher agent. No, he has to be the guy who followed behind Big Boss during the events of MGS3.
 
3:25 PM
He was the guy who played Snake Eater as you climbed the ladder!
 
That had little to no effect on his personality or his motives.
 
I take it you heard his amazing line of
SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Is it bad that sometimes, in Tri Force Heroes, I go into the multiplayer lobby (without going to play) just to bat the music ball around to make it play various Zelda themes?
 
@twobugs As his soldiers drag him back like "Seriously, man? You need to take a chill pill."
 
Did you start the next mission yet? I really like that one.
You'll want to bring a secondary weapon effective at close range for one of the optional objectives. You'll know it when you see it.
(It has happened for me every time I've done that mission, but not for my friend strangely)
 
3:30 PM
@twobugs I don't think I have. I've mostly been doing side-ops since apparently the wormhole Fulton opens up after Mission 31.
 
I finally got around to getting the infinite suppressor tranq gun and man, that's good stuff.
 
Yeah, I need to get my hands on a Noise Suppression specialist.
 
There's also a tranq gun that actually has penetration! It can BREAK GLASS.
 
@twobugs This is a second run, but the music is still too good
(yes already)
 
Wormhole requires the fulton master certificate, and yeah you probably can't get that during chapter 1.
There's a grand master certificate, but what it unlocks it kinda underwhelming.
Nothing as cool as PW's Fulton rocket launcher :(
 
3:35 PM
I've heard that you can lose Quiet and now I don't want to advance.
Although I heard there's a mod out there that lets you keep her. Which now sounds creepily like those people with Aerith.

Q: Cannot access teapot room

Dark AfterburnI have unlocked the desert fortress and try to battle the Teapot but when I go into the door my browser stops responding (I'm using Chrome) and I'm forced to force close the tab. Is it as simple as switching my browser or will I need to reset my game?

 
@Lazers2.0 You know a genre has a problem when my first instinct is to ask "How much cheating did you do?"
 
lol
what game is that o_O
 
@djsmiley2k Candy Box 2.
 
well, yes :P
 
candy box? It's... kind of like an incremental
pretty fun. short
 
3:57 PM
o_O
 
Since when are incrementals fun?
I mean, I suppose Candy Box 2 might be.
 
user15026
A lot of people here like incrementals, including myself, so...since...we like different stuff?
 
@PrivatePansy See, I keep telling myself "No more AC" but then I keep hearing good things about the new ones :(
 
I mean, I have no problem with them, they're alright.
But they're not exactly... fun for my tastes.
