lucky bastard!

MBraedley

@Aequitas 40% of the units need to agree to install, though. That has a chance of not happening in this building.

Aequitas

in Australia they're doing optical to the Node and its taking like 5 years for everywhere and ofcourse i'm one of the last ones

@MBraedley OMG if someone didn't agree i'd kill them!

why wouldn't they?

MBraedley

@Aequitas A lot of seniors in the building who might not even have internet

Coronus

@Aequitas My guess would be price. Is it significantly more expensive?

GnomeSlice

I just bought all of this

Just now

Aequitas

11:03 PM

pay it for them haha

i could only dream of fibre

GnomeSlice

.... plus this

Aequitas

I'm still getting 400kb/s down :)

Q: What are differences/perks of the different Ballistic Vests in Payday 2

I know the light ballistic vest makes you move a little vaster compared to the others but I want to know what exactly the differences between them all. I'm leaning towards the normal vest because it's equal between the two but depending on my playstyle (e.g. Stealth or Guns Blazing) which one wou...

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune I'm thinking about getting and selling a few Mr. A's so I can own all the airplane charters.

Even though Spring Break Beach is apparently s---.

Unionhawk

Power outage whee

GodEmperorDune

11:14 PM

@Yuuki yeah I have the same plan

I snagged some decks of many cards to sell when the price rises

Chippies

@Coronus it's actually cheaper to have FibreOP than it is to have DSL

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Conspiracy Island is expensive as f--k though.

GodEmperorDune

I know :(

Yuuki

260M is the cheapest.

I feel so lucky for grabbing it when it was out.

I imagine the price will drop off once the limitation hits.

GodEmperorDune

If any last that long

It was out the month before I started playing

And 10 mil ( or whatever the price was) was huge to me back then

Chippies

11:17 PM

@Coronus I was sort of wrong. Best DSL plan is couple cents cheaper than slowest FibreOP plan. Speed per dollar though differs insanely

GodEmperorDune

Then Ed hit and shit went crazy

Chippies

I suppose the prices may vary per region

user15026

I hate bodyguard bats.

Wipqozn

I'd just like to repeat that I hate summer

Coronus

Summer's terrible.

GnomeSlice

11:20 PM

Everything's terrible

Yuuki

@Wipqozn's and @Coronus's avatars are confusing.

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn you're almost to the boss

Yuuki

Therefore, @Wipqozn is the worst.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn and now I'm imagining giant buff bats wearing shades and standing around someone

GodEmperorDune

@Chippies that is exactly what they do

Wipqozn

11:21 PM

@Coronus Summer is easily the worst season.

Chippies

@GodEmperorDune I also have no idea what she's talking about :P

Wipqozn

fall is the only season which isn't terrible

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I know but these guys kick my ass.

GodEmperorDune

> You're fighting a beefy bodyguard bat
This is one of the beefiest bats in the burrow, and that's why the Boss Bat chose him as a personal bodyguard. He looks eager to buffet, batter, bedevil, and even berate you, leaving you thoroughly bedraggled. Beware!

Coronus

@Chippies Dang. I see no reason why someone wouldn't switch. I'd compare prices in my area... but...

user15026

11:22 PM

@GodEmperorDune I have a huge pile of meat, though. Maybe I should buy better stuff.

Feeds

Tim Stone has added Wipqozn to the list of this room's owners.

Chippies

@Coronus old people with no idea what any of that means might not care much

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn did you get the guild weapon quests yet?

GnomeSlice

@Chippies @Aequitas Think either of you can find this one?

GodEmperorDune

Also do you have turtles tamed?

Wipqozn

11:23 PM

@StackExchange wiat, what?

I wasn't a room owner?

yesterday, by Feeds

Tim Stone has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

Chippies

@GnomeSlice ektoplazm.com/free-music/…

GnomeSlice

@Chippies wtf

Wipqozn

oh, you were reversing the injustice you served upon me

Chippies

the mp3 link works as I am halfway done dl'ing

didn't try the others

Tim Stone

yesterday, by Tim Stone

To commemorate the occasion

Wipqozn

11:25 PM

Thank you for saving me from yourself, @TimStone

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Mp3's what I want anyway

Wipqozn

@TimStone Th'at's fair

GnomeSlice

@Chippies You don't have to DL it, I'll figure it out

Chippies

@GnomeSlice I figured so

user15026

@GodEmperorDune well, I keep finding things that aren't turtles. like a gummi turtle and turtle wax

Chippies

11:26 PM

@GnomeSlice eh, I dl'd to make sure the link works and it didn't take long. Maybe I'll even like it, idk, gonna give it a listen

Aequitas

@GnomeSlice you can download it from soundcloud: anything2mp3.com/system/files/mp3/…

GnomeSlice

@Aequitas Soundcloud uploads are usually lowered in quality because of people ripping them

Chippies

@Aequitas that's generally not as good quality

streaming audio is usually lower quality for various reasons

Aequitas

so are torrents most of the time

unless its a popular one

Chippies

@Aequitas I disagree

GnomeSlice

11:27 PM

@Aequitas No.

Chippies

but it depends on what and where you're downloading from I guess

GnomeSlice

Usually when somebody cares enough to post a torrent for some obscure shit, they care enough to provide proper copies.

Popular stuff is arguably harder to find good copies of.

Aequitas

that one I gave you before was only 320kbps

Wipqozn

It's so gross

I need to go back to my fan

I blame @Unionhawk for all of this.,,

GnomeSlice

@Aequitas That's considered high quality by most people

Chippies

11:29 PM

@Aequitas what do you mean only 320kbps?

GnomeSlice

320 is what I usually aim for

Wipqozn

Why did you create summer @Unionhawk? Why?

Aequitas

lol

Chippies

anything more than 320 kbps is not going to be mp3

Aequitas

320 so little

flacs :)

GnomeSlice

11:29 PM

The difference between 320 and like 192 is pretty indistinguishable too, I really should look into downconverting all of my files to save space

Chippies

320 is more than enough to cover our hearing range

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn I don't remember 100% what those do, but also make sure you are buying skills in your guild hall

GnomeSlice

@Aequitas Yeah, no thanks, I'd like to put more than 10 albums on my phone.

GodEmperorDune

Sometimes the passives are very useful

user15026

@GodEmperorDune yeahi should go drop a pile of meat there

2

GodEmperorDune

11:30 PM

Who keeps starring @AshleyNunn's meat?

Chippies

the difference between flac and properly ripped/converted 320kbps mp3 is non-existant in most songs and extremely minor in few that it's not worth the extra cost in space

GnomeSlice

Plus I don't think my $20 headphones will really bring out the differences

Aequitas

@GnomeSlice haha

Chippies

I have entry level studio monitors and properly encoded mp3's sound just fine and dandy to me

GnomeSlice

I can't afford to keep buying and breaking the pairs of sennheisers I've been using for the past number of years.

Aequitas

11:32 PM

@GnomeSlice I got mine from aldi for $10 haha, they've broken twice and i've superglued it backtogether

Chippies

@GnomeSlice I can't imagine ever going back to crap quality headphones

GnomeSlice

I broke I think 3 pairs of SH PX100's and one pair of PX100-2's

@Chippies Cheap headphones have gotten better than I remember.

These $20 Sony's are actually hella decent

Chippies

I used to be just fine with the shitty headphones my phones came with, until I tried Sennheiser CX300 in-ears

GnomeSlice

I mean not as good as my Sens, but surprisingly good

Chippies

@GnomeSlice to be quite honest, 20$ is probably not the super cheap end I'm thinking of

GnomeSlice

11:34 PM

@Aequitas Why do you give a shit about FLACs then...

lol

Chippies

I paid 30$ for my CX300

Aequitas

@GnomeSlice I don't lol, you guys were the ones complaining about quality :P

Chippies

they broke after 3 years of use :(

GnomeSlice

My PX100's were $50 when I bought them because they had been discontinued

100-2's were about $70 I think

I bought like 3 pairs of px100

GodEmperorDune

Maybe @Aequitas just like wasting disk space

Yuuki

11:35 PM

Oh, the coffee cup is a spleen item.

interest++

Chippies

@Aequitas streaming audio is often 96/128kbps, the lowest I'm comfortable with is 192 kbps

below 192 the difference in quality becomes quite noticeable

GodEmperorDune

Iotm give so much good spleen already

Chippies

I have M-Audio AV40 speakers and they're amazing value for desktop use

GnomeSlice

I should downconvert my stuff to 192

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune I don't have access to good spleen right now.

At least not any that's in season.

GodEmperorDune

11:38 PM

You don't have the yearly ones?

Chippies

@GnomeSlice converting from mp3 is gonna produce even lower quality

Yuuki

Nope.

GodEmperorDune

The familiars

:(

user15026

Damn, out of adventures and no boss bat. :(

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Yeah true...

Yuuki

11:38 PM

@AshleyNunn How full are you?

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn get more drunk

Chippies

that's one thing flac's are great for - using as a source file to convert into other formats

GnomeSlice

@Chippies I have access to FLAC for all of my bandcamp stuff... but that means redownloading it all

Chippies

@GnomeSlice that would take months with your library and internet, no? :P

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I am pretty drunk already, and I am out of food to eat

GnomeSlice

11:41 PM

@Chippies Library yes, the internet here is actually pretty good though

Chippies

@GnomeSlice is there a way to just download everything with one click?

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn we got to get you some epic drinks

GnomeSlice

@Chippies Not that I know of.

I have 550 items though.

I'm not sure I'd want to download them all with one click...

Chippies

Would certainly make things simpler

but I doubt there's such an option

user15026

Doritos and scrambled eggs...this actually sounds tasty.

Q: Minecraft Not Enough Items problem

So I got the NEI mod (Not Enough Items) and there's two things. 1. I can't get any items from cheat mode. I can turn on cheat mode, but I can't get any items from it. 2.

Q: How to quickly butcher an animal without going all the way to the burcher shop?

There's a Cow that somehow ended way down in my fortress and is starving. I know it would die before I could move it to a Pasture, so I'm looking for a way to kill it fast and butcher the corpse, since it would be a waste of meat, fat and leather. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Q: What Exactly Does the Lagometer Display?

I've been playing Minecraft for quite some time now, and I remember in previous versions of Minecraft (I don't know if it still exists) that there used to be a graph on the screen when the player pressed F3, called the "Lagometer" I never understood what the graph detailed, and would like to know...
