9:00 PM
Would our sports team be the Trolls of Bridgeland?
 
We'd have sports?
What sort of sports?
 
@SaintWacko eSports.
 
Our national sport is either Rocket League or the First Post review queue.
 
@Arperum Wow. Our min payment per month is 1000 dollars and that's after we consolidated. Thankfully Ian got a good job and we can afford it. Most people can't.
 
@MadMAxJr Oh, tragic politics though
I went before the renovations started
 
9:01 PM
@MadMAxJr Not TF2?
 
It was basically a few old beards who'd got Colossus up and running by themselves
You could see it running and everything
 
@spugsley my wife and I pay about $1500 a month for student loans
 
@GodEmperorDune wooooooooooooooooow
do you pay extra or is that your min?
 
@fredley Agreed, but as former developer / IT person, I am very interested in visiting the site.
 
@spugsley I pay ~€400 euros/month for the debt I have, for 30 years. So that's very affordable.
 
9:02 PM
Like I said, second rent/mortgage
 
Renovators came in, refused to co-operate with the people who'd looked after it for years, wanted to dismantle Colossus to return it to how it was before they got it working. Don't know if they did or not.
@MadMAxJr Oh yeah, definitely go. But don't go anywhere else in Milton Keynes.
 
@fredley Oh geez
 
Pretty sure it's min
 
Get the train straight back to London.
 
@Arperum we also have a mortgage. So it's quite a bit of money going toward debt (but owning a house is awesome so no complaints there)
@GodEmperorDune yeah our mortgage is cheaper than our min student loan payment :/
 
9:03 PM
@spugsley It is indeed.
 
@fredley Aside from this, one of the other items on the 'to do' list is visit one of those pubs that has the bell that tells your politicians to go back to the office.
I'm not positive they still /do/ that but I was amused to learn that is/was a thing.
 
That is how Slovakia keeps it's historical buildings up to date or something.
There was another half a window on a second side of it.
 
@MadMAxJr Oh yeah, anywhere near Westminster
 
The garden of the historical castle was also being redone with a lot of concrete.
 
It took far too long to get that hug in place.
4
 
9:05 PM
@Arperum Why is there a window behind those windows?
@RonanForman Um... is that a Hug light?
 
@James That's the historical building part they left or something.
 
Also, any of you folks here outside the US might take an interest in last nights episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight, where he explains that the people in our national capital district have no voting rights and all of their local government affairs have to be approved by the national government. That's right, people living at the heart of our nation aren't allowed to have a say in it.
 
@Arperum .. Except for where they needed the window?
 
@James It's a HUG gun, or the starts of one at least.
 
@MadMAxJr This is true
DC is not in a state
 
9:06 PM
@James I have no clue hgow it works. They kinda lacked logic.
 
The piece is a rather in-depth review of the issues with it being a 'district'
 
Therefore it has no congressmen or senators
 
@MadMAxJr yeah, I knew about that
 
@MadMAxJr Its a district not a state, its done that specifically so the capital of our country is not part of any one state?
 
It has one representative! but she's not allowed to do anything.
It's a part of an old resolution. The captial used to be wherever congress met, but at one point they decided they needed a fixed location and addressed the 'district' of congress.
 
9:07 PM
/me sighs
 
So there's about 600,000 people who work in our nations capital that can't vote on anything above the city level.
And even those city votes have to be approved by congress. yay!
 
Yeah cause the people running the gov't who are supposed to be doing what they are told by the elected officials just doing that is the problem with out gov't... Not the corporations that fund whatever bills they want and such.. but that small portion of the people who fully accept living there and what it entails
 
@MadMAxJr Wouldn't want all those liberals in DC spoiling the party for everyone else!
 
Its like.. we gave them the freedom to choose to live there
Maybe we should take that away and force them to live somewhere else
So they can vote
Yeah cause ya know 100% of our population votes
And every vote matters
 
John Oliver's piece covers the incident of when they tried to push a bill to get the right to vote. A comittee added a rider that if the right to vote passed, all gun control law would be removed in DC and they couldn't enact future gun control.
 
9:09 PM
Its not like the senators and such we put into office can vote how they want to when they get there
They are just mouth pieces to put forth our voice
 
I highly recommend watching the bit if you're interested in how absurd our country is. And I will now drop the topic.
 
@MadMAxJr Riders are just the worst.
 
@Yuuki not a reply
 
And amendments.
Actually, none of those are bad if used properly.
It's just the amount of things you can change with riders and amendments is a bit overboard.
 
I have to remember that a 'rider' on a bill doesn't actually create a wraith riding a ghostly horse mount that follows the bill around.
 
9:12 PM
@MadMAxJr It's often a similar omen of death, though
 
@MadMAxJr To be fair, that tends to be the effect of some riders, they just kill the bill they're following (attached to).
 
Propose a bill to enact Congressional Dark Pact Magic where future riders will create actual 'riders'.
Add a rider that gives a few senators some perks and it'll pass.
 
Wait.. this is too close to Disgaea's dark senate.
 
... Why I am getting pinged twice for replies?
Once when it comes out and then another ping like five minutes later.

9:16 PM
@GodEmperorDune This reminds me, while I decided against the ice cream leaving my house part of my day, I should still fight those bats.
 
@GodEmperorDune Ooo, that Lava Lamp.
 
@Yuuki there are others to cover each stat
 
@GodEmperorDune I'm more interested in the +5 adventure on rollover.
Is it an off-hand item or accessory?
 
@AshleyNunn Save the icecream money for the next ice cream trip. /double ice cream/
 
Off hand
 
9:18 PM
ahh
a nice cold shower is great on a hot day
 
@GodEmperorDune Ew.
 
now I'm going to return to hiding at my fun
 
user15026
@Wipqozn true fact
 
user15026
@MadMAxJr That sounds good
 
@Wipqozn you are hiding in the center of the bridge war?
 
9:19 PM
@GodEmperorDune There's a way?
WEll, as interesting as that sounds, I'd rather go eat pudding and I'm too lazy to relocate my fan
 
Pretty sure the pic is starred. I'm on mobile and can't find it
 
user15026
@Wipqozn what sort of pudding?
 
@AshleyNunn Chocolate
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Best kind :D
 
Chocolate is the best kind of pudding
 
9:25 PM
^truth
 
butterscotch
 
Cooked Vanilla pudding
None of that instant crap
 
user15026
@SaintWacko Butterscotch is good if there is no chocolate
 
Stovetop cooked vanilla pudding is -awesome-.
 
user15026
@James Oh gosh no
 
user15026
9:32 PM
cooked pudding of any sort is the worst pudding
 
Cooked chocolate and instant chocolate pudding both have that bland flavour to em
 
Watching NerdCubed play Gangbeasts is the best
 
@AshleyNunn D: We shall sadly never agree upon this :(
 
all pudding is nasty
 
That's enough for tonight. Low poly hugs for ya' @AshleyNunn.
 
user15026
9:35 PM
@RonanForman I love it already :D
 
user15026
@Chippies You are wrong and so is your face
 
@AshleyNunn I'd rather be wrong than eat pudding :P
pudding is like baby food
 
Awww yeah! Two things on the stars list. It's been a good day.

Q: What is the best way to find sugar cane in minecraft

Awesome minecrafterI have a world and I'm making this secret password lock with redstone and all that I need is about 2 stacks of paper so I need help finding sugar cane so I can make a farm and so I can finish my secret lock

 
9:38 PM
@GodEmperorDune New Age healing crystal could be useful against Yog-Urt.
Just having another combat healing item is great.
More combat healing items = less slots spent on Mer-kin prayerbeads = more slots available for actually useful accessories.
 
@Chippies I feel like disliking pudding is a bannable offense
 
@Unionhawk Counterargument #1:
Counterargument #2:
 
@Yuuki ooh, blood pudding, eh?
Idk why it's called that in english, that's not pudding
but whatever, that thing is good
 
@Chippies And also blood pudding. One that actually kinda looks (kinda) like pudding.
 
@Yuuki that looks like slabs of uncooked meat to me
 
9:43 PM
@murgatroid99 It's pig's blood.
Take blood, put in a container, wait for some time for it coagulate.
Enjoy!
 
Blood based food worst food
 
Apparently it's not "blood pudding", it's "black pudding" which is a type of blood sausage
 
Hmm... is steak considered "blood-based food"?
 
either way, I'm hungry now
now that's a blood pudding

Q: How can I get exp fast in minecraft

Awesome minecrafterI am in my world and I need a lot of levels to enchant things I am in survival and I don't have a lot of animals around me is their a way to farm animals or how to find more thx

 
ITT: "wtf is happening?"
 
@Yuuki I'm okay with this.
 
 
@Chippies This looks like chocolate but based on its name I'm going to guess it's not chocolate. Still, I'm going to pretend that it's chocolate so I can go on thinking it looks delicious.
 
@Yuuki He should change his name to Goose.
 
@Yuuki WOAH, the player is different! :O
and I mean, the video player, not the character in game
 
Yep
inb4 riots
 
@Chippies It's been like that for a while?
 
I see this for the first time
 
@Chippies Yeah, I noticed that Saturday.
 
10:03 PM
Yay Google rollouts
(incidentally I see a different interface than that)
 
I feel like the context menu used to have white background too, but I'm not 100% sure, since I hardly ever right click on videos
 
No I don't I lied
 
Oh yeah, I just noticed that interface today
 
I like how the bottom bar is more transparent than the old one though
 
Until you said something, I wasn't sure if it was an internal rollout
 
10:04 PM
@Chippies I have that one for at least a month already.
If not more.
 
@Arperum youtube is known to roll their new stuff out to random people at different times
 
@Chippies I got randommed to be prior on the test subject list it seems.
 
best video player
 
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail
 
@GnomeSlice for local videos?
 
10:14 PM
Yeah.
 
what's so great about it?
 
@Chippies It's just a really nice skin
plus PotPlayer is really customizable
 
ah, thought so
Media Player Classic Home Cinema is my choice of video players
@Lazers2.0 I love it when people ask technical questions with lacking information for proper diagnosis and then just leave
 
@GnomeSlice not through that link
 
10:19 PM
@Chippies Works for me?
 
it redirects to main page for me
 
Regional?
 
huh, it worked on 2nd click
 
it redirected to main page on first click and worked fine on 2nd click
 
10:23 PM
@GnomeSlice vlc works for me
 
> Most Konami employees don’t have their own permanent company e-mail addresses. Staff who deal with people outside the company, such as public relations, do, however, everyone else’s e-mail is routinely randomized and changed every few monts.
> Konami developers who aren’t seen as useful are reassigned duties such as security guards, cleaning staff at fitnes clubs, or roles at pachi-slot machine factories. This includes producers who worked on big titles. In 2013, Japanese newspaper Asahi News reported on a former Konami employee who allegedly went from development to working in a Konami pachi-slot factory, which led him into severe depression.
 
WTF
> Employees that leave the office during lunch beak are monitored with time cards. Those who return late have their names announced throughout the company.
> There are cameras in the office corridors to monitor the movements of Konami’s employees.
 
What kind of nightmare factory is this.
 
It's like the office worker version of Hell
 
10:36 PM
@Aequitas Did you read the edit comment?
 
yeh
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Silent Hills Halls.
 
i get what they're doing
its coz the question has the solution too
 
So yeah, that basically looks right to me
 
but is that wrong?
especially when the accepted answer is bad
 
10:37 PM
@Aequitas what does that have to do with anything?
 
because that's the answer that visitors will see
well not bad, but i don't think it solved their problem
he stated that he needed to use a combination of the answers to get a solution
 
And posting that answer in the question isn't correct
 
That's kind of irrelevant. You shouldn't put the answer in the question, period
 
okay that's what I was asking
 
If you want to make a composite answer, go for it. But posting it in the question isn't how this site works
 
10:39 PM
@Aequitas the solution was posted as a community wiki answer, so upvote it if you want it to be on top
 
yeh I just wanted to know how arqade saw answers in the questions
i've seen it before
on other sites
and couldn't find it in the arqade meta
 
The general SE rule is "Questions go in the question box; answers go in the answer box"
That's network-wide
 
Yes
 
@Chippies I need your torrent skillz.
 
@GnomeSlice I can try
 
10:41 PM
@GnomeSlice sorry no support piracy ;P
 
Would prefer Planet Discovery but any of it would be nice.
 
@GnomeSlice lately you're the only one that keeps my torrent skills polished
 
I might just buy that one if you can't find it but the rest aren't on bandcamp
And the mix one is already free.
 
@GnomeSlice wow, I checked on what.cd and that artist is only in some compilation. If it's not on what.cd, finding it elsewhere is gonna be a difficult task...
gonna see what I can do though, out of curiousity
 
I need to get my what.cd ratio up, but I don't know how to make my own torrents.
I have some stuff that's not on there.
 
10:43 PM
@Aequitas Just to make sure my point is clear: if you see the answer in the question on any SE site, that's incorrect, with some rare exceptions for certain kinds of canonical/catalog type questions.
 
@murgatroid99 i've seen it quite a lot even on some featured questions
but they were different kind of questions tho
 
hehe
The konami article's comments made me chuckle
 
When I got to the OMG and I thought EA and Capcom were bad but they dont do this!
Pft, yeah right, the email shifting? maybe, the rest is not that far off
 
planet discovery ;)
 
10:45 PM
@Aequitas !!
@Aequitas :o so far so good, I didn't even think to check TPB
I'm not good at torrenting music because I do it so rarely
 
@Aequitas do you mean "featured" as in "someone put a bounty on it" or "featured" as in "hot network question" as in "it was popular today"?
 
hot network
 
@Aequitas oh cool, that actually has seeders too
I didn't even check TPB, since it usually shows up in google results anyway
 
@Aequitas Those aren't necessarily examples of good/proper questions. Hot just means that they got a lot of traffic and/or upvotes
 
user15026
@murgatroid99 pretty much this.
 
10:48 PM
And I generally don't see that sort of thing on hot network questions anyway, and I read them fairly frequently
 
user15026
Do not take HNQ's as being exemplary examples of how to do things all of the time all of the places.

Q: Which levels contain Failure Logs?

Martin BüttnerSome levels in Infinifactory contain so-called Failure Logs, which are 30s to 2min audio clips which provide a bit of background story. They are usually (but not always) found in the form of a dead person in a spacesuit. It appears that not every level contains such a Failure Log, but most of the...

Q: Cancel heist in GTA Online

user120289When I replay a heist, then cancel the heist like 2 days later, will the next heist lester calls me about be the heist after the heist that I unlocked last, or will it be the heist after the one I played last? For example, if I play Series A funding, finish it, then go back and play humane raid, ...

 
Also, for any situation whatsoever, Puzzling is a bad example. It's just the worst site on the network
 
@GnomeSlice your ratio is irrelevant, as long as you seed your torrents as long as possible
you can't force people to download the stuff you downloaded, but if you seed it anyway, your ratio doesn't matter much
 
To be fair, given what I said earlier, the hot network questions I've looked at so far today seem to actually be good questions.
 
10:51 PM
whats what cd
 
@Aequitas a haven for criminal scum.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz or, sometimes, the only way to obtain certain pieces of music
but yeah, the criminal scum probably describes most users of any torrent tracker
 
@Aequitas private (and illegal) music torrent site.
 
I have good news and bad news, completely unrelated to each other: The good news is my building is finally (possibly) getting FibreOp! The bad news is that my phone took a swim in the Mira River, and now won't turn on.
 
who needs a phone when you have fibre??
FibreOp is optical fibre right?
 
10:59 PM
@Aequitas ... to the home! (or in this case apartment)
