I am all out of duck wings.
I did not buy enough duck wings. :(
 
Not bad, but I think I can do better next time.
Although it doesn't help that it's right at the edge of the focal range.
Need to get another objective and I'll be able to solve that.
Oh, that's through my telescope, BTW.

> park service kept on making dumbing rules like how many friends we can have
I've been to a lot of these natl parks and have never been restricted on that
 
Isle Royale, for example, has strict limits of crews of 6
And large groups registering as multiple crews of 6 are restricted to a strictish itinerary
 
But that doesn't limit how many friends you can have
Just how many can be in the same group
 
I think the implication there is "how many friends we can have with us" >_>
 
12:25 AM
Oh
Well then
Still doesn't deserve a single star
Do research first on those things
 
shrug
 
@Unionhawk No, the review is pretty clear. Also I know someone who works at Olympic. The rule is quite clear. You may have seven friends. No more, no less. All others must be considered acquaintances or relations.
Hey Kids! Wanna get Angry? I mean REALLY REALLY ANGRY? I mean, hate humanity and want to find someone to punch ANGRY? WELL GOOD NEWS! Just Read this article, and you too can begin quivering with impotent rage!
 
12:55 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz You see the thing about the woman who found Trump's face in butter?
 
“Missouri Woman Finds Donald Trump’s Face In Tub Of Butter.” I don’t even want to dignify that headline with a link.
 
Touche!
 
Trump now proposing pulling US troops policing DMZ/38th parallel btw North & South Korea unless they stop making so many TVs. No really.
 
And to think.
We have more than a year of this to go.
 
@RavenDreamer he also threw out a univision reporter and told him to go back to mexico today.
 
12:59 AM
@LessPop_MoreFizz from the responses, that seems like an unreasonably silly way of paraphrasing what he said
 
> I will get the Latino vote - Trump 2015
 
@murgatroid99 No, it's pretty much a direct quote; the responses paraphrase the more 'nuanced' version of the position he's been shouting for the past few weeks.
This is Trump we're talking about here. You can generally count on him to say the most ridiculous version of any given statement that has been attributed to him.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, I know. It just seems crazy even for him to say that he wants the troops to stay there if they stop making TVs.
 
@murgatroid99 It's using US military power to protect american jobs!
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Doesn't make me angry. I gave up on the world in general over a decade ago.

@AshleyNunn Fraggles are jerks.

@LessPop_MoreFizz What no Fraggles are awesome
 
All they do is tear down the homes of those poor hardworking people and eat them.
Those monsters.

user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, I am.
 
user15026
Also for some reason I really want to eat radishes.
 
I think I am going to go to the Ramen place where the chef grades you on how much ramen you ate tomorrow.
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz What.
 
Because I really kind of want ramen, and I also want to finish my bowl and hear a japanese man announce to the entire restaurant that I did so.
 
1:16 AM
We need to meet, and you need to take me to the nearest awesome restaurant / brewpub. Because I think you would know all of them.

I've never been to an actual ramen place and had actual ramen

I have -- with @Yuuki, actually.
 
@AshleyNunn There is a ramen place in boston, which, among it's many quirks, is known for the chef yelling out a grade for how well you have finished your ramen
if you ate it all, he yells PERFEEEECTUUUUUUU
If you finished most of it, it's "GOOD JOB!"
 
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz oh my gosh I want to go to this place.
 
1:17 AM
If you do not finish, he will be very disappointed and say "NEXT TIME!"
 
Blast. If it were Baltimore, I would have a reason to visit.
 
Also, there is a whole thing where they encourage people to stand up and announce to the restaurant what their dream is. Because... why not.
@RavenDreamer I can recommend baltimore things
I have been to baltimore.
 
Well, it won't be for months. Because I used up the last of my vacation closing on a condo.
I should probably unpack.
On the other hand... Hi, Bridge!
 
@RavenDreamer Also, I was in North Carolina, like... all winter! But you weren't really around so I could not harangue you.
 
user15026
Hi! How is condo having?
 
1:19 AM
Until I make the first mortgage payment? Pretty much the same.
 
Though I was informed I was getting an 11% raise in 6 weeks, so there's that.

@GodEmperorDune given that he is literally purple, and goes by "Macaroni Larson", I have to say that you are really reaching for the low hanging fruit here.
 
user15026
Why is he purple? Why is his hair vaguely green?
 
@AshleyNunn If the headline I saw was correct, he dyed them those colors

Okay then.

current.doThing();
if(current!=null)
  current.doSomethingElse();
IF CURRENT IS NULL THAT'S GOING TO FUCKING CRASH YOU BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
 
@Arperum !current.isNull()
?
 
Nope. it was actually accessing some property of "current". And current has an actual chance of being null.
I moved the check.
 
9:25 AM
@Arperum Oh I see
whups
 
I'm also cleaning up all of the project, and finding this near-identical code 50 times and fixing it 50 times is getting seriously on my nerves. I'm seriously considering figuring out some way I can generalise it, because this is just fucking stupid.
 
oh man I got really scared today
I woke up on the train this morning
when I do that I usually hug my bag in a somewhat naive attempt to get in the way of pickpocketers
this morning I must've hugged it so hard, or placed my hand oddly
when I woke up I'd completely lost all sensibility and motility on my (non-shift-holding) pinky finger D:
I need my fingers :<
I guess that pinky is not my shift-lock pinky
but it's my enter key pinky
and my backspace key pinky
so it's probably even MORE CRUCIAL TO MY CORRECT OPERATION AS A SOMEWHAT NORMAL HUMAN BEING
@fredley that looks fun
public boolean isNull() {
  return this == null;
}
I can see people writing that.
 
@badp You would also lose ~50% grip strength.
 
@5pike what's worse, the finger was paralyzed in a bent position, so I didn't even know if I hadn't somehow broke it or something
I tried to move the finger and couldn't, then tried to straighten it out with my other hand and felt nothing
hooray for panic
I should probably grow some backup fingers.
If I grew just a new one I'd get RAID-5-level fault tolerance.
although technically fingers are not interchangeable
so I'd probably want to shoot for something more like a ten-fold RAID 1.
 
9:44 AM
@badp You could also invest in disability insurance...
 
@5pike would that help me regrow or replace fingers?
I should probably rather invest in off-site backups
so that if something happens I can go grab a fresh set of fingers from a safe or something.
Fingers as a Service
@fredley make it happen
 
@badp Depends on the insurance. A pinky gives you about 5% disability, so you'd need an insurance that pays at that grade.
 
you could make it a freemium service. Thumbs are free, basic tier gives you all 10 fingers, premium tier gets you a full off-site backups of your whole hands.
You'd be printing money in no time
 
GOOD mornING ladIES and GENTleMEN
HOW are YOU toDAY?
I hope YOU are ALL doING well TOday
 
look, look, @fredley, you might have your first customer
@Wipqozn is having a clear case of shift pinky malfunction
 
9:51 AM
@badp if it's not feeling better by tomorrow go see a doctor
Your fingers are important
If worse comes to worse you can borrow one of @fredleys.
and by "borrow" I mean "steal".
 
@Wipqozn My fingers are now working properly and I would've seen a doctor much sooner than "tomorrow"
After a little hand shaking I could feel the familiar feeling of blood rushing back through my skin and stuff.
I dunno how you call that.
 
I know the feeling, but not the name
 
@badp Oh wait, do you live in one of those sensible countries with universal health care?
 
@Wipqozn yep.
 
I normally say that to Americans because if you go when you absolutely don't need to you're throwing away $10,000
 
9:55 AM
wait what.
 
> In 2000 Italy's healthcare system was regarded, by World Health Organization's ranking, as the 2nd best in the world after France,[3] and according to the CIA World factbook, Italy has the world's 11th highest life expectancy
That's pretty cool
 
a simple visit to the doctor is $10k?
 
@Wipqozn I wonder, how many countries are there without sensible health care?
 
@badp @spugsley went to the ER one night, and I think it cost her $8000
It was rather ridiculous.
 
D:

I blame @Sterno wife.

brb, acquiring fingers
 
@badp USA is 37
Canada is 30. MAn, Canada needs to step up it's game.
 
@fredley pfft, you should start an organic GMO-free carbon neutral finger farm.
 
@Wipqozn ... I wonder what countries are worse
I mean, I suppose it's a case of, america does have doctors and such
 
9:59 AM
That would check all of the checkmarks and break even in about 60 years.
@Wipqozn as in 37th best?
 
@badp Yes
France is No. 1
Bonjour and what not
 
@badp Nah, GMO all the way. I can engineer a finger flinger to speed up production
held in a finger flinger sling
 
I guess it's that America gives you the choice between death and bankruptcy. The countries that are worse don't even give you that choice.
@fredley new incremental? =p
 
and wake every morning to the sound of the finger flinger sling ping
 
Myanmar is at the bottom of the list

Q: Where is my minecraft world

potatoI have the minecraft world called hotel, but when i open up my minecraft saves folder, the world isnt in it. Can someone help me, by the way, I am on a mac.

 
@fredley The last sentence of that article makes me think of a band named "Fuck you and Die". I don't know what kind of music they play though.
listens
Sounds a bit like Nile.
 
@Arperum That sentence raises several important grammatical quandaries.
 
@badp Oh, can I use it as my daily dose of misuse of language?
 
Clearly the subject of both verbs are the same. So it is important to understand whom you are wishing death upon.
So: when you say "fuck you", who would be doing the "fuck"ing of the "you"?
This is pretty critical information, I'm sure you will agree.
You are wishing death upon him, so in a way you are wishing death on the person who is having presumably non-consensual sexual intercourse with "you."
That sounds protective, rather than threatening.
You could expand it to "Whomever should have non-consensual intercourse with you, they will die"
We must investigate this is in painstaking detail.
 
10:28 AM
@badp Pretty sure it's the imperative
 
@fredley "Whomever should have non-consensual intercourse with you, I command them to die"?
 
@badp "I command you to have intercourse" (with a person of your choosing) "and then to die"?
 
@fredley That sounds more like a self fulfilling prophecy in most cases.
The death part, anyway.
 
@badp I think that sentiment would probably be better expressed with "You, fuck and die!", though.
 
but then we must see if there isn't additional subtext to the "and" word. Is it simply a list of things that should be done, or should it be interpreted as a cause-and-effect conjunction?
Clearly the only proper response to "fuck you and die" is a polite request for clarification of such a woefully ambiguous sentence.
 
10:36 AM
"Do you direct your wish to fuck and die towards me, or to someone else? In the former case, whom should I fuck, if anyone in particular? Do you intend that I fuck you, and then die?"
 
There are times that I really love The Bridge. This is one of these times.

This horoscope is gold. I'm currently reading the other parts.

789?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Then it's 4, yeah.
 
@KevinvanderVelden yeah
wow, I thought 4 was definitely pan, with the scratches
 
11:08 AM
7 is definitely pan
 
@KevinvanderVelden yr a pan
 
Source: their next tweet shows the artist who took pictures of frying pans, it is in that list
 
I remember seeing the pans on imgur, with a heading like "Pan or planet" and the reveal that all are pans.
 
People are obviously upset
HOWEVER
Some of these schools only have 33 kids in them.

@5pike not this time,
Europa /jʊˈroʊpə/ (Jupiter II), is the sixth-closest moon of Jupiter, and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites, but still the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and was named after Europa, daughter of the king of Tyre, who became one of Zeus' lovers. Progressively better observations of Europa have occurred over the centuries by Earth-bound telescopes, and by space probe flybys starting in the 1970s. Slightly smaller than the Moon, Europa is primarily made of silicate rock and has a water-ice crust and probably an iron–nickel core. It...

@Wipqozn 33 kids? That'd be fine! If they were all the same age
Not split over how many years that canada splits it
Hmm, maybe bluetooth isn't the best method to send a 180MB file
 
@KevinvanderVelden 33 in a single class is too much.
 
Also, I booted up EOIV again, @GraceNote. I'm at te second stratum again. I hate those ghosts. So annoying.
 
11:15 AM
@Arperum asks sister who is a primary school teacher
 
@KevinvanderVelden That reminds me of a message I got yesterday from my sister.
"You're going to be an uncle next Tuesday!"
 
:o congratulations!
 
@KevinvanderVelden I did not do anything to get this result...
 
Heh, I always found it weird being congratulated for becoming an uncle. I literally did nothing.
 
11:18 AM
@5pike This.
 
@Arperum from my sister: She has 18 students (it's a class of kids that just don't qualify for a difficult children school), last year was 27 but you also quite often hear of 35
 
For those who like Finntroll and/or Trollfest: Aktarum sounds quite good. (cc @djsmiley2k @RPiAwesomeness? @AshleyNunn? @StrixVaria?)
@KevinvanderVelden I know that classes that big are a thing, it's just that classes of ~20-25 work way better. Because at some point there are just too many kids to pay attention too at the same time.
