3:00 PM

@fredley missed opportunity to have NA as just "nah".

I like Copper 999/911

Music 4/4, Jazz 5/4

@fredley I like how flourine has the right numbers; it's just in the wrong spot

@murgatroid99 And spelled incorrectly.

It's "fluorine", IIRC.

user15026

This is awesome

@Yuuki oh, yeah, I guess it is

3:07 PM

this makes me realize how little i remember about the periodic table

@GodEmperorDune It's periodic and it's a table. What more do you want me to know?

@Yuuki theres all kinds of hidden properties and stuff for how the elements interact

Like everything in the first column f--kin' explodes when coming into contact with water.

unfortunately i've forgotten all of them except that the column explodes when wet

yep

The last column is inert

3:09 PM

And everything in the column with copper in it is a great conductor.

user15026

I don't really remember much except one end is explody, the other end is inert

The second to last column reacts strongly with stuff

user15026

the rest is just handwaves stuff

yay, chemistry

@GodEmperorDune vimeo.com/77466354

@AshleyNunn Have you seen Look Around You?

3:11 PM

Huh. Everything in the second column is a silver-white color.

@fredley dat goto o.0

user15026

@fredley I have not, should I rectify this?

@AshleyNunn YESSSSSS

It's Peter Serafinowicz

i think this is a british thing

Taking the piss out of classroom videos

(We didn't have Bill Nye, our classroom science videos were a little more boring)

3:12 PM

i don't remember what take the piss means

user15026

That sounds excellent

user15026

@fredley Bill Nye is on Netflix now

@AshleyNunn Not UK

2 mins ago, by fredley

@GodEmperorDune https://vimeo.com/77466354

I just got a mail that I interpreted as "FATALITY", even though the content is nowhere near that.

user15026

Yeah, I am pretty sure it is America netflix

3:13 PM

They used to be in better quality on YouTube, but it looks like they got taken down :(

bill nye does a lot of youtube stuff

user15026

@fredley am watching, it's killing me

@AshleyNunn The first series is all like that (Math, Music, Sulphur, Iron, Ghosts, Water)

Second series is completely different, piss take of an old British show called Tomorrow's World

user15026

They labelled the spooooon

A kind of future tech show from the 70's and 80's

user15026

3:15 PM

Oh god they labelled everything

Q: Increase font size

It's very difficult to read object description and cutscenes subtitles when you're not close to the screen. I didn't find any option to set the text size. Is there a way to increase the HUD and the subtitles font size in the witcher 3 on PC?

pc the-witcher-3

user15026

@fredley he just SHOT everything

user15026

This is great

@AshleyNunn If you like this kind of comedy, try The Day Today as well.

user15026

Will do :)

3:18 PM

@fredley this reminds me of hitchhikers guide.

user15026

Is brown sauce something, or did they just run out of names for things?

@AshleyNunn It's a thing

Hmm...

Brown sauce is a traditional condiment served with food in the United Kingdom and Ireland, normally brown or dark orange in colour. The best known brown sauce is HP Sauce, a spicy and tangy variety. Brown sauce is traditionally eaten with meals and dishes such as full English breakfasts, bacon sandwiches, chips, and baked beans. The ingredients include a varying combination of tomatoes, molasses, dates, tamarind, spices, vinegar, and sometimes raisins or anchovies. The taste is either tart or sweet with a peppery taste similar to Worcestershire. It is similar but not identical to today's steak...

user15026

@Yuuki Oh, I know HP sauce!

We're good at naming things

user15026

3:20 PM

Now I am sad I am out of Branston Pickle because i want that with cheese on bread

@Yuuki So it's pretty analogous to BBQ sauce.

user15026

@MBraedley kind of? They taste pretty different.

user15026

At least they do to me.

@Yuuki I like the red sauce with my chips/fries

the white sauce is good with some stuff too

user15026

I like fry sauce with my fries

3:21 PM

not a fan of yellow sauce though

This is an astonishingly good piece of parody

@AshleyNunn what is fry sauce?

user15026

@Chippies ketchup + mayo, sometimes also +paprika

ah, I used to mix ketchup + mayo when I was little it was good

garlic mayo is great with fries too

user15026

@Chippies yesssss

user15026

3:23 PM

then again garlic is good in almost any savoury thing

user15026

@fredley oh my god

I like my fries with a side of cheeseburger. Actually, I just like the cheeseburger part.

i like fries on my cheeseburger

Q: Can you disable the repair cost increasing in Minecraft 1.8?

As you might know, starting with Minecraft 1.8, the repair cost for an item goes up the more it was previously repaired, to the point where the item can no longer be repaired. Is there a way to revert this change using command blocks?

Q: Is there a way to increase the production chance of items in the Eleth Mixer?

The Eleth Mixer duplicates any item placed in it. For obvious reasons some items are much less likely to be made. The herbs seem to all have 1.1% chance to be duplicated and some even have "low prod. chance." Is there any way to increase these odds either through various items or the Grade Shop?

@fredley there's not much point in playing after lv100 and 8 badges though, you can't beat gyms or level up

3:44 PM

@Chippies It's a pretty crappy game

it is, but it hardly uses any resources, so I let it run for the night

now I'm done with it

doubt they'll add any new features to it

user image

got this from 0 pikachus since the time I posted the levels and badges

Why are pikachus releasing pikachus. wat

@Rapitor they're kinda rabbity rodent creatures

lots of pokesex involved, I guess?

1 pikachu is already too many pikachus

pika-pikaaaaa~

user15026

3:47 PM

Okay, yeah, my brain doesn't want to go there.

@AshleyNunn probably too late already, eh?

user15026

Yeeeep

there was that web page with math numbers about theoretical rabbit procreation and how 2 rabbits could literally multiply into billions of rabbits in just under 10 years

Apr 24 at 1:44, by Chippies

A single bunny couple could potentially reproduce up to nearly 95 billion bunnies in 7 years

there we go for those who missed it a month ago ;)

(the 95 billion bunnies only accounts for females, the real number could be twice as high)

Q: How is performance on AMD graphic cards?

I have an AMD r9 290x and I would like to know if any of you have a card like mine to see if the performance is as bad as the Internet say. Can you run at FullHD 60fps with almost every thing at ultra??

pc performance the-witcher-3

There's quite a few rabbits in my neighborhood park.

There weren't that many just five years ago and now I see at least two when I go for a walk.

3:55 PM

@Chippies This is not a practical number, though.

Explains the number of hawks I see flying over the park these days.

That's crazy how short their gestation is, though.

@StrixVaria it's not in the wild, but if you kept them as pets, in safety, those numbers could turn to reality

which is why the site advocates pet bunny spaying

@Chippies Re-impregnating the mother immediately after giving birth every time for 7 years and not accounting for mortality is a pretty bold assumption even in the best conditions.

makes me wonder why bunny meat hasn't become more popular than chicken meat

3:57 PM

@Chippies because bunny tastes terrible...

@Rapitor it's pretty good if prepared right

but I guess chicken is easier to cook

also I think people like the adorable bunnys more then the jerks known as chickens

@Chippies That applies to everything.

so if people start farming bunnies for food a lot they might start throwing hissy fits

Cat meat, like most predators, is all gamey and stuff but even that can taste all right if you put a ton of spices on it.

3:58 PM

user image

how could you say such a thing!

user15026

@Chippies They're only cute when they're little.

user15026

And they smell TERRIBLE

@Rapitor for a while, maybe, then they'd forget and stop caring

cheaper meat = less people whining

user15026

@Yuuki Anything is edible with ketchup :P

@AshleyNunn well, only because they have crappy bathroom manners

@Yuuki stewed rabbit is pretty good, not much to do with spices there

4:00 PM

@Chippies Not sure that applies. Most people don't eat chicks. Unless you're talking about balut.

@Chippies Because rabbits are cute and cuddly and chickens are ugly, vile and mean.

DO NOT GOOGLE 'BALUT' IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH.

@Yuuki funny how our standards change as the animal matures

Q: Can I move and redownload the preinstalled Wii U games?

The Wii U comes preloaded with a few games now (e.g., Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land). If I delete them, can I get them back or re-download them? Can I move them onto a USB drive and use them on another Wii U console?

wii-u digital-distribution

"Oh it's cute now, lets wait couple months before we murder it, it'll be ugly then"

4:02 PM

@Chippies It's also interesting how our standards change depending on what the animal was originally domesticated for.

@Chippies Doesn't apply to veal.

Lamb is also really good.

Pigs are, by some measurements, more intelligent than horses and dogs but we still consume them because they were primarily domesticated as food. Whereas horses and dogs were tamed for other reasons.

@Yuuki most people don't think about what they eat and those who take part in killing of the animal don't care if it's cute or not

I'm sure if everyone had to kill the animal before they eat it, we'd either have a lot more vegetarians or a lot more psychopaths

user15026

@Yuuki shudders

user15026

@JasonBerkan I am learning to like it.

4:05 PM

@Chippies Or butchery just wouldn't be a profession anymore.

user15026

@Chippies I am happier when my food is food shaped and not animal shaped and I haven't had to see the inbetween but I've done it.

If everyone has to do it, people will learn to adapt.

user15026

It's one of those things, if...yeah, what @Yuuki said

@Chippies Doubt it. That was regular life back in the day.

4 mins ago, by Yuuki

DO NOT GOOGLE 'BALUT' IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH.

I'm still shivering after looking that up.

4:06 PM

@Chippies You seem to be implying that a few hundred years ago, everyone was a pyschopath

(or vegetarian)

I knew that it was a thing because I remember seeing it once when I went to an Asian market.

@JasonBerkan the difference is that those people lived that lifestyle

@Chippies If everyone has to do it, wouldn't it then becoming "living that lifestyle"?

@Chippies When you "have to do it", it gets regular real quick

Anyway, I've killed a deer and eaten it, and I slept just fine

user15026

@Yuuki Don't have to google, I already know what it is

4:07 PM

@Yuuki the difference is dedicating your life to raising animals and killing them for food or just buying a live animal, taking it home and then killing it for food, after you get off your white collar job

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I remembered that it was a thing, I just forgot the name.

user15026

@Chippies I know hunters who do that very thing, minus the buying it first

@Chippies Eh, I do it occasionally. It's called seafood.

The only reason we don't butcher our own meat any longer is economies of scale.

user15026

Well, they buy tags, which is kinda the same?

4:08 PM

@AshleyNunn not everyone is cut out for it

@Yuuki seafood is another thing people seem to have different standards for

as long as it lives in the water, its life is meaningless

Though I have an entire cow in the freezer in my basement, so I'm not that far removed from the entire process.

Ducklings are cute. Ducks are horrible monstrosities.

user15026

@Yuuki I went to the Asian market the other day, and really wanted to buy some of the live crabs but I realized a) they were more money than I could spend and b) I didn't know how to cook them, but the woman with both hands in there fishing for hte ones that fought the most because she told me that tehy tasted best was kinda great

user15026

@Yuuki So much this. Double for geese

@AshleyNunn Pretty certain you just boil 'em. That's what my relatives on Victoria island do.

Or Vancouver Island or whatever the heck it is called.

user15026

4:10 PM

@JasonBerkan That sounds doable!

I can't imagine raising ducklings. It feels like it'd be raising the most adorable child on earth who you know is going to turn into a psychopath once he/she turns "of age".

Geese are the animal kingdom equivalent of people who ride up in the travel lane on a highway and don't merge into the exit late until the last second.

i.e. the worst

We're slowly building a big equivalence set of things that are the worst

roosters are the worst

user15026

@Yuuki My sister has ducks! They're kinda alarming

user15026

4:11 PM

I'd take the waterbuffalo over the ducks

user15026

@StrixVaria truer words and all that

when I was around the age of 4, I had one peck a hole in my jeans

I wasn't even in a place where chickens/roosters would normally be at

Pikachus for ever

Fine fine

I think I broke the universe

File a bug report. Reboot universe.

universe is filled with pikachus

If you crashed the universe build server, you don't get to go home until it makes a clean build again.

need a new universe for more pikachus

4:15 PM

@MadMAxJr Literally.

wow, I clicked "Save", reloaded the page and the incremental started from 0 and "Load" doesn't work either

those buttons are just there for looks

actually, it's not generating pikachus either, so I think it just can't load infinity

and it's broken now

I am good at breaking things

user15026

@Chippies Some people pay for that kind of skill :)

@AshleyNunn I know, but I don't know such people

user15026

:(

It's pikachus all the way down

Q: How does the armor value work?

I have 114 armor right now, but I don't really know what that actually means. By how much does this reduce the damage I take?

Q: Team cohesion in football manager starting squad/reserves

In real life football, teams that are not sticking to a predetermined starting squad with the necessary rotation in between don't perform so well because players don't seem to blend in well together. This usually happens on the start of the season when a teams manager hasn't yet determined what a...

@Chippies He left the site because @Unionhawk kept taking out his batteries.

@fredley It appears so, yeah.

@Wipqozn As in it was a quiet exit?

4:52 PM

@Wipqozn did he actually announce that or did he just one day stopped logging on?

chat.stackexchange.com/users/16521/origami-robot?tab=recent

@fredley Yeah

> Last seen: 21 days ago

So, has anyone heard from him since then?

I can confirm that he didn't die

4:54 PM

Welp, I think it's a little bit healthier than him being here with half of the room on ignore

@Unionhawk well, that's good enough for me

@badp Yeah, he obviously wasn't enjoying the room as much as he used.

That's why he stopped using the site

@Wipqozn I don't really get that whole ragequit thing.

@fredley How so?

Sure, stop participating, but anonymising your content is a pretty big step, even if it is (semi?) reversible.

I don't know why you'd choose to do that

4:56 PM

@fredley It really isn't, see also kalina.

@fredley Origmi deleted his account since he found he couldn't resist the urge to tke part if he had an account

@badp She got most of her stuff back

Self-control is easier if it is difficult to do something.

@fredley I think it's gotten less reversible recently

@fredley And I'm pretty sure since then it's been changed from semi-reversible to irreversible

4:57 PM

@JasonBerkan I guess this is what I don't understand. "I hate this thing, but I can't stay away from it"

Are we drugs? We sound like drugs.

Hate is probably too strong. There are many reasons to not participate - I'm not here in the evenings, for instance. If you decide to not participate, you may want to make it difficult to participate.
