That function is stupid on so many levels.
 
There are so many things wrong with it, that adding one is not even going to be noticable.

Q: Fallout shelter special training

Isaac KotlickyI know that event responses are different, since characters go right back to their original assigned places. What I'm wondering is if you have a character in a training room and swap them out (say, for a child that just turned into an adult), do you lose all training progress?

GAAAAAAAH. I need cloning technology. By oct 10.
There are three different gigs I want to go too.
 
12:04 PM
@StrixVaria GRIP cancelled their kickstarter
 
@Arperum What the actual fuck
 
@PrivatePansy Yup. That's stuff I have to work with.
 
@Rapitor It's hard to tell with all the compression going on, but I think I've seen Minecraft mods that look prettier
(Assuming the graphics actually look like that, and not because of the compression)
 
the graphics actually look like that (on PC)
 
12:11 PM
Why'd you say next gen hardware then
I assumed that meant console
 
<script type="IN/Share"></script>
What even is this.
 
@Arperum Apparently it's used by LinkedIn
 
@GnomeSlice consoles are pretty much outdated the day they're released (specs wise :p)
 
@PrivatePansy It's illegal html code, that's what it is. glares
 
12:16 PM
It is. No idea why LinkedIn does it that way
 
Idk rocket league looks pretty good on my ps4
 
You're illegal html code
(I just checked, <arperum></arperum> is invalid)
 
@Rapitor That's so bad.
 
@Arperum it's perfectly valid I think
Yup, it's valid, type does not have to be anything specific: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script
 
@KevinvanderVelden Is that value allowed for the type parameter.
 
12:20 PM
 
@PrivatePansy Pretty sure CSS can solve that problem. I, of course could be wrong, since I'm not a web developer.
 
@MBraedley No, that's not what CSS is for. Also, joke ruined. Not that it really matters, since it's a terrible joke. Like @Unionhawk's face.

Q: Strategy to beat Lingering Will?

GreatwonI am trying to get the platinum trophy for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 but I cannot beat Lingering Will on critical mode. Does anyone know of a strategy to make this boss easier?

Q: Farming Blood Stone Shards

Leon GuerreroAs per the title: is there a place, before Father Gascoigne, good for farming Blood Stone Shards? I'm doing multiple runs cause I want to lvl up before defeating this boss and I also want to upgrade the Saw Cleaver.

 
12:40 PM
FRIDAY
 
@Unionhawk pre-emptive NO!
 
@Unionhawk YES AND ALSO NO
No to the "song" and yes to it being friday
 
Actually, it's not Friday.
 
It is in a significant portion of the world
 
@twobugs There are very few places in the world right now where it isn't.
And all those places are sparsely populated
 
12:44 PM
It's nevery Friday on the moon.
 
Or even worse, it's always friday on the moon
 
@twobugs The moon runs on UTC
 
As in Friday not Friday don't worry
 
@fredley wat
 
12:47 PM
@SaintWacko "Pool"
 
@MBraedley does time make sense for a tidaly locked body?
 
@fredley Sigh...
 
Apparently Friday is associated with Venus? Interesting
 
@Unionhawk Yes, because it still rotates in relation to the sun
 
I guess it does yeah
 
12:48 PM
Now if it were a planet tidally locked to the sun...
 
@Unionhawk of course. The moon still has "days", it's just that they're about a month long.
 
Well, time would still make sense, but day/night wouldn't
Day/night would be a function of geography, not time
 
Faith Driven Development: for when you have 0 test cases for your implementation
 
So the whole "Second star to the right and straight on til morning" would actually be valid directions on a planet tidally locked to its sun!
That's cool
 
@GnomeSlice Ew. Did they say why?
 
12:50 PM
@badp I've done some faith driven development in my time.
 
@SaintWacko poi la strada la trovi da te, porta all'isola che non c'è
 
poi.
 
se c'è tempo.
magari.
 
@badp Precisely
 
Ugh, I have to write a Birthday card
I hate these. Never know what to say
 
12:53 PM
"Happy birthday!"
 
Beyond "Happy Birthday!"
 
"You're older now! Go you."
 
@KevinvanderVelden Dammit.
 
Also, Faith Driven Development:
 
@twobugs :)
 
12:54 PM
@twobugs Just go to the store and find a card that says what you want to say
That's what I do
I'm terrible at writing cards
 
"According to statistics, _x_% of people who were born the same year as you didn't make to their _y_th birthday! Go you! _(100-x)_th percentile!"
 
@badp I like it
 
I already bought the card. I spent 99 cents on it and those 99 cents are not going to waste
 
@twobugs Well then, let the card do the talking!
 
"According to the Birthday Paradox, which is not actually a paradox at all, there are many people who also share this birthday with you"
 
12:55 PM
'You ain't special!'
 
"You are so very special and unique, like a brick."
 
I wish I could bulk order Buster's birthday card from Arrested Development
With the Grim Reaper on it
 
Grimm Reaper
 
The problem is I usually force myself to write some mushy nonsense on Birthday cards and for some horrible reason people like it and want me to do it again
So it's a constant mush-creep.
 
"I hope this very special birthday can mark a pivotal turning point in your life as you receive your very last birthday card from me. Treasure this greatly."
"When you'll be on your deathbed, I'll ask you for this and you better deliver."
@fredley afk level strats
 
1:02 PM
Have you guys seen this incredible life hack? My mind is just totally blown. I'm reeling here. (/CC @Sterno)
 
@badp My strategy too
 
@badp That's pretty much what I'm doing
Boxing it in with the... er... box, and then funneling it into the box
 
I got to level 4 and then it bounced off the screen before I could do anything
 
Since it doesn't seem to care how many lines you draw
 
Off a pre-drawn line
 
1:05 PM
I feel bad that @badp wasn't around last night when I posted this:
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Flagged as "Dude, WTF. Okay, I need to go buy some mind bleach."
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz "you can, but why would you"
 
^
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz There are so many questions I have
 
1:07 PM
 
Most of them are "why"
 
@fredley You sure love your blank pages
I suppose you like to get your mind lost in the vast emptiness
 
@badp You sure love you blocking scripts
 
@fredley Pffft. No blocking scripts of mine here
 
@badp wow. such blank. very blocked.
 
1:09 PM
Do I look like the blocking script kind of person?
I don't even block ads. Just flash.
 
@badp Can't see, block in the way
@badp YT embeds are still flash?!
 
@fredley Good. Use your inner eye.
@fredley Nah.
If it was flash I'd get the grey "click to run" box.
 
@fredley TOO SLOW TO LOAD
 
next up @fredley will buy shouldiblarnecaching.net
(♫ It's caching, caching, everyone blame caching, gotta lay it all on the caching ♫)
 
@badp and after that, shouldiblarnekearning.com
 
1:15 PM
(♫ It's keming, keming, everyone hates keming, gonna rnush my letters all together ♫)
 
And then shouldiblarney.co.uk, for people considering a trip to Ireland.
 
(♫ It's fredley, fredley, everyone hates fredley, I think you get the bloody point ♫)

1:19 PM
Poor Darth Maul
He was in Episode 1. Enough said.
 
Easily the best part of Episode 1 though. Which isn't saying much, to be fair, but still the best part.
 
@Yuuki that URL
you're welcome
 
Now I want to star that just because of the URL.
 
Welp, 9/11 in Manga form.
And, unsurprisingly, it's better than Marvel's abomination
 
@twobugs God, that was horrible. Doom shedding a tear was just the worst.
So many things wrong with that issue.
 
1:28 PM
It happened in Billy Bat, which is something I highly recommend to anyone who likes things that are good.
 
1:39 PM
There are many things I dislike about the new Batgirl, but this is pretty cool.
 
The art looks kind of weird.
But like... she's grappling a tiger. So that's awesome.
 
@StrixVaria Indeed, I had multiple levels fail because the bloody dot glitched through a line. or got stuck in a line. Or just decided that bouncing was too much work.
 
@twobugs I don't like how they went back to Babs though. She was cooler and more awesome as Oracle and now that's she's Batgirl again, Stephanie and Cass are shunted off to the side and ignored.
 
@GraceNote Are...are there pieces we don't see?
 
1:43 PM
I've always been kind of divided on Oracle.
 
pulls out the technicality card
 
@TimStone Even if there were, that's not a legal move.
 
@TimStone Probably but I think there's quite a visible, more obvious issue here.
 
In some ways I think it let them do more with her character, but at the same time it felt weird.
 
@twobugs The things she's doing now feels more like things that Stephanie should be doing.
 
1:44 PM
@GraceNote Perhaps we've incorrectly assumed that the person with their hand on the piece is the one saying checkmate.
 
Ah, I'm not current on Batgirl so I'll take your word for it
 
> Yeah, I think it started at #35. I like it a lot, but it feels weird. Barbara is doing what Stephanie should be doing. The whole crime-fighting-selfies and Instagram thing really doesn't feel right on Barbara.
They also dramatically scaled the danger back to evil obnoxious DJ's, anime schoolgirls, an evil-ish Facebook, and wedding planning. It's such a change from guys having their legs taken off in bear traps, sociopathic younger brothers, and undead ventriloquism. So it's a completely different book.
 
@GraceNote Clearly it's black speaking
 
Also what @Yuuki said
 
But that sounds like a bad direction to take her
 
1:45 PM
But I don't want to give him credit
 
and white is picking up the piece to throw it in the fridge.
 
@TimStone Either case, the person holding the white piece is doing an illegal move.
 
@Yuuki wat
 
Alright, we can give @Arperum the credit now instead
PROBLEM SOLVED
 
> crime-fighting-selfies and Instagram
> evil obnoxious DJ's, anime schoolgirls, an evil-ish Facebook, and wedding planning.
This... is not the Batgirl I remember.
 
1:46 PM
@twobugs Just doesn't feel right that Babs is the one doing that.
@twobugs It seems to be what all female superheroes are doing these days.
 
@TimStone I'm confused now.
 
I totally agree. That's just ridiculous
 
Remember Captain Marvel and her space adventures with her cat?
 
@Arperum BONUS POINTS
 
@TimStone oh well, eats tomato
 
1:47 PM
@Yuuki No, but that sounds like a thing.
I mean, it's fine to have more light hearted stuff. It's just it should be done in moderation, IMO, or it undercuts the whole tone
 
@twobugs Because it was. She got some weirdo amnesia and went on a space vacation with her cat.
And palled around with the Guardians.
Oh and her cat turned out to be an alien.
 
That would be fine as a standalone story or something but it's weird when you take an established character and send them on silly adventures like that
 
And then she came back to Earth just in time for the universe to end.
SECRET WARS
 
Did Superman restart the universe by singing? That was cool when it happened.
 
@twobugs Nope, this time it was Doom killing the same guy over and over again. And it wasn't Reed.
 
1:52 PM
@Yuuki Hopefully it was the guy who made him cry in that 9/11 tribute comic
 
I know you're surprised. I was too, I didn't realize that Doom knew people other than Reed existed.
 
/me is confsued
 
@djsmiley2k Comics stuff. I could explain further if you really wanted me to.
 
I'd just like to have the time and money to read them
:(
 
This just makes me feel sad that I barely follow American comics anymore
 
1:55 PM
@twobugs Honestly, you're better off for it. I don't really like much of what I've read of the new Battleworld stuff with the exception of RYV and maybe some of Thors.
 
Eh, fair enough. I just got really turned off by how the new 52 was handled and I've never been big into Marvel. I think you've heard my rants on those before, though :P
 
Thors is kinda all right, but meh. Imagine Law & Order or COPS, but instead of detectives and police officers, they're all Thor.
 
 
@TimStone Gerrymandering gone wrong is so good.
 
1:58 PM
> Gartner “tried to get me to unregister, and that’s pretty manipulative,” Henderson said. “The district plan and the district border is manipulative, too.”

Gartner said she did nothing illegal when contacting Henderson and was surprised Henderson viewed her contact negatively.
Really. Really, you're "surprised".
 
She didn't do anything illegal! Just extremely morally questionable.
WHO COULD POSSIBLY BE UPSET BY THAT?
 
 
How the fuck is a voting district with no residents allowed to be a thing
What the fuck
 
@Unionhawk They're just cutting the middlemen out
and the frontmen, and the backmen, and the othermen too.
 
user15026
2:06 PM
I love how they are trying to defend it like it's no big deal
 
CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE TOO
 
SCOTUS, or someone, get on this shit. This is a new level of stupid.
 
also... who the hell came up with "SCOTUS"
 
WHO THE HELL CARES (@badp cares apparently) SHUT UP @UNI NOBODY ASKED YOU
 
@badp It's like Mt. Gox. People went with it because it sounds slightly less silly than the alternatives.
SCOUS
 
2:08 PM
I'm also confused how you can have extra sales tax inside one city district. Over here cities can't even add any salestax at all. There is one salestax (of 21% for most things)
 
I'm a SCOUS chef.
 
I'm more concerned about the hemming distance with scrotum
 
@Arperum Sales tax is a state thing, and usually also a city thing
It's around 7% here where I am particularly
 
@Arperum gotta make it as hard as possible to figure out how much things actually do cost
 
@badp Indeed, so this shop sells exactly the same as this other shop 10m further? , but the one shop is taxed higher? What.
 
2:11 PM
@Arperum 'muricans don't care about sales tax, they think it's basically a rounding error
 
Municipal differences are usually on the order of fractions of a percent
 
Also: don't forget the whole tipping system. I have no clue how that even works. over here people actually get payed for doing a job.
@Unionhawk Still bullshit.
 
and honestly if you're a business $50k a year is roughly a sneeze
 
@Unionhawk We have 6% for stuff required for survival/being able to function in society.
 
We have 0% for such things typically (with some exceptions but food is 0%)
 
2:13 PM
Electricity has been deemed a luxury and goes to a tax of 21% starting tuesday.
But you have to do some paperwork online, because fuck you.
 
No municipality has a sales tax higher than 10%
 
Our current government is fucked up.
 
(highest 9.45%)
Hmm, wait no
 
They were trying to get the tax to 22%, but that caused a bit too much protest.
 
Yeah, 10% is about a maximum
 
2:15 PM
@Unionhawk There was a story about a 'city' in LA with only ~100 'residents', all of whom hold business interest in the area or were voted in by those with interest in that area, with their residence subsidized by the taxes collected in the same area
 
@Arperum 21% national sales tax is bullshit. drop mic walk away
 
The guy who basically rules the government from the shadows said some stupid shit again too yesterday. "Let's give immigrant a separate social statute, with less rights than a normal person". When was the last time we heard that? Oh right: Apartheid. And before that? Oh right Hitler.
 
No, the last time we heard that was from Trump. pls
 
@Unionhawk Meh, I don't have to sell my house when I have to go to the hospital though.
@Unionhawk Ya well, what about we put trump and that dude together in a rocket and launch them to the moon, where they can have a fight to the death over who gets to rule the moon?
 
Yes
I think
Someone call up Elon Musk and get a quote
 
2:19 PM
@Unionhawk I'd fucking fund that. Some massive rocket to launch all racists to the moon.
 
Elon Musk is busy, he's on a business trip somewhere on Mars.
 
@Arperum Hey, don't pollute the moon like that.
 
No, wait, he already has a pool on the moon:
RIP dark chat people
 
@Arperum To be fair, I think I've also heard that from several European ministers.
Or at least something similar.
 
@Yuuki Europe has lately been busy turning into a racistic bunch of asshats. I will fight that kind of nonsense until the day I die.

2:22 PM
Two days in a row I have tried to sleep in because I suck at sleeping only to be woken by piano practice directly above my bedroom at 930 am. Is it time for the children to go back to school yet?
 
Yes
 
@AshleyNunn Just about.
 
I'm already in school
 
@AshleyNunn In Belgium schools start tuesday.
 
user15026
If I remember right, I have to wait a bit more than a week, because it starts right after labour day.
 
2:23 PM
My sister went back to work last week (she's a primary school teacher =p)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Yea, but the Netherlands have weird school system.
 
@Arperum library!
 
(He may be referring to the fact that parts of the netherlands start at differing weeks for no good reason)
 
School starts on Tuesday. Three kids out each day for us!
 
2:24 PM
@JasonBerkan School starting back up is the best news.
 
Eternal september is mandatory
 
user image
12
 
@KevinvanderVelden That plus I have no clue how the rest of your schoolsystem even works.
 
School has been in session around a week here
 
@Arperum magic? I think, I don't know how it works either
 
2:26 PM
Around, meaning @Arperum would be more confused because each district sets when they start
 
@Unionhawk Is there anything in the US that is properly regulated and the same for everyone?
 
I fail to see how allowing districts to set their own schedule is improper
Where their own schedule has a mandated day count
 
@StrixVaria Except it also means the start of football, music lessons and everything else that makes me spend my evenings shuttling my children around.
 
(Schools over here have a couple free days they can choose when they place them, but the holidays are the same for everyone.
 
2:29 PM
@Arperum NOPE
 
I've already spent two evenings this week getting devoured by mosquitos during football practices.
 
Unrelated: for those who didn't know yet: I'll become uncle on tuesday.
 
@TimStone but it wasn't an accident that resulted in his "death", just a lack proof he was alive.
 
Maybe he accidentally disappeared! …willingly, to be a deadbeat dad.
 
@MBraedley he is legally dead from lack of proof otherwise.
CAUSE OF DEATH: LITERALLY CACHING
 
2:32 PM
you're literally caching
 
Caching is the worst
 
therefore @badp is the worst QED
good work @KevinvanderVelden
 
many things are the worst, but some worst are more equal than other
 
2:32 PM
@Unionhawk I should make that site too.
 
@badp his death was not the result of an accident, as is the picture posted by @Yuuki, therefore his answer should still be "no".
 
@Unionhawk any time, any time
 
@badp That would make a decent room description, "wherin some things are more worst than others"
I should take this online quiz huh
 
(This is a friendly reminder that "some things are more worst than others" might make people who speak dutch laugh because worst = sausage)
 
I mean, is that not also technically accurate?
No? Ok
 
2:37 PM
Sure
 
All music are sausage, but some music are more sausage than others

Bad pronunciation is the wurst.
 
That line drawing game is dumb
The ball phased through the wall I drew
I blame @Wipqozn
 
@twobugs Ball phased into a wall. Welp.
This is stupid
 
@twobugs Probably because the frame rate is too low, so the ball moved through the wall between frames without it intersecting it
 
@PrivatePansy Well, it gets "stuck" in the wall for a bit and then it just pops out on whatever side it wants to
 
Oh, that sounds more like glitched physics or collision detection
 
> my dad thought that my using Google was the reason our computer had viruses. He thought "those nerds" who ran Google were out to get him.

Please leave that poor man's dad alone.
 
TIL stored procedure names can have tabs in them. WTF MSSQL?
 
@twobugs OH YEAH! add \emptyset to the list of stuff that can be done easily in the equation editor of docs, while you're leaving this poor man's dad alone
(we're turning in math homework using Google Classroom, which uses docs to collaboratively work on homework with the instructor)
 
2:52 PM
@Unionhawk Solution: Open up Microsoft Word, type \emptyset, copy the result into Google Docs. Simples!
 
(yes I'm aware probably neither of you work on docs but SHH)
 
Remember to turn on the option in Autocorrect settings so that it autoreplaces math notations everywhere, not just in equations
 
it exists in the symbols bit somewhere, so I can get it more easily than that but still
 
@Unionhawk Google Docs has an equation editor?
 
@badp Yup

Q: what are the easiest good pickaxes to get and how do you get them?

RugbugRedfernI have been unable to mine some blocks, (ie: obsidian, molten rock) but I m not very advanced in the game yet. What are the simplest pickaxes to get that can mine strong blocks relativity fast?

 
@Unionhawk You young'ns have it all too easy.
 
Yup
 
Back in my day, we had to make equations with charmap and tables with <pre> tags
Nowadays we just have to make tables with <pre> tags
 
Well, docs for math is still going to be interesting
 
TIL I am the most boring person in my office.
I'm the only dev here who hasn't smoked marijuana.
 
2:56 PM
Did you have the make your equations while walking uphill both ways?
 
@Yuuki It's okay, at least you aren't dead inside.
 
I'm pretty sure that I'm currently misusing svn in terrible ways. but whatever.
 
@Yuuki Ohio is up next to legalize. Colorado has been making absolute bank from taxes on it.
 
@Arperum How do you not misuse svn?
 
@Unionhawk There's a bill moving through the Texas legislature too.
 
2:57 PM
@badp Iunno. But this is worse than your usual usage.
 
@Arperum Are you... gasp are you merging branches?
 
@Yuuki There's a referendum here, I imagine the same would have to be the case there
But Issue 2 will be on the ballot this November
 
@Yuuki I'm dutch, I've never smoked marijuana either =p
 
I built a truth table generator in javaScript just so that I can prove the same syllogisms logicians have provided 200 years ago, but now I can do it on the web
Progress! I say
 
Have spent 6 months in Amsterdam (well, okay, right outside the city borders), didn't do any drugs or took advantage of the red light district
 
2:59 PM
@Yuuki I'm the most boring person in my office, too!
 
And issue 1 appears to be a "prevent political fuckery-- I mean gerrymandering" thing
 
@badp Nope. I accidentally committed towards the wrong repository, now the svn data in the project thinks stuff is up to date, and doesn't push it towards the correct repository. So I modified some property on all files to force it to update, but there is one file that should be added instead of modified, and it seriously breaks on that file.
 
So that's fantastic
 
@PrivatePansy I think you're missing a 0
@Arperum RIP
