@RonanForman Not sure that works. People exchange "speaking to" for "typing to" all the time. In fact, I'm doing it as we speak.

Unionhawk

I should probably do stuff and things

Sterno

@fredley I'm pretty sure that's something else entirely.

two bugs

Trying to decide if I should 100% Rise of the Tomb Raider, which would probably take a guide and be annoying as I missed a few collectibles and they aren't on my map for some reason

fredley

@Sterno I'm pretty sure you're something else entirely.

@twobugs have you tried it MP? It's SO glitchy

I presuming you played it on PS4

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment A: use powerbi

That's too bad, though

djsmiley2k

:/

Texenox

@Arperum Did that.

The phone still works fine.

Lemme try removing the battery, then.

Unionhawk

5:05 PM

@fredley No

two bugs

Some of these are gonna take a while. Tomb Raider is going on the back burner for Forza

fredley

Does that make this an intermeetspace?

Arperum

@Texenox How on earth did you allow it to properly dry without trying to dismantle it?

@Unionhawk It's always better with gifs

Unionhawk

@Sterno meh

Texenox

@Arperum Just left it on the heater for about half an hour.

Unionhawk

It has nonzero impact as a onebox

/lazy

MadMAxJr

Played D3 for all of an hour yesterday, got an orange drop. Huzzah.

Dragonrage

@Texenox ur supposed to throw it in a bag or rice

Arperum

5:10 PM

@Texenox That's not even remotely close to a sufficient time.

Texenox

But yeah, looks like you can't remove the battery without a screwdriver.

djsmiley2k

THROW IT

oh god

you heated your phone up

with the battery in it

while damp

Arperum

Yea, that too. Not the best spot :p

Texenox

@Arperum piss

fredley

@Texenox Cut it out with a sharp knife

Unionhawk

5:11 PM

rub some bacon on it

Texenox

@fredley ...no

@Unionhawk no

fredley

@Unionhawk shoot it with a gun

You should totally ask this question on Lifehacks

Texenox

@fredley no

Dragonrage

burn it with fire

@fredley you just put it in a bag of rice to dry it out

djsmiley2k

n uke it from space

Arperum

5:12 PM

To be fair: I can't remove the battery of my phone without completely destroying it.

Texenox

@ardaozkal shut up fam

fredley

@Dragonrage But Lifehacks will give us a plethora of dumber answers to read!

2

@Dragonrage I don't even think that works.

ardaozkal

@MadMAxJr gz on your legendary drop!

Dragonrage

5:12 PM

@fredley this is true

djsmiley2k

the rice thing works

Dragonrage

@Texenox it does. also silica gel works as well

fredley

Also buying a new one works too

Texenox

But I dropped it in milk.

Arperum

@Texenox The thing is that rice actually absorbs water from its surroundings.

djsmiley2k

5:13 PM

or leaving it in the arctic also works

Dragonrage

trust me, i am an official life hacker.

i got banned from life for hacking

MadMAxJr

Executioner. Sad to see low level legendaries, because it'll go in the trash so soon, but it's neat while it lasts.

fredley

@Arperum You actually absorb water from your surroundings

Because you suck

djsmiley2k

you could leave it in a bag of smashed up biscuits... (but NOT cake)

Dragonrage

or was the for life. i forget

fredley

5:13 PM

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN

Unionhawk

Texenox

@Arperum I'm aware of that, but we're talking about milk.

djsmiley2k

...

why do you think the substance matters?

ardaozkal

@djsmiley2k My lil bro threw dad's phone to toilet. Even after instant battery removal and 48hr rice, it didn't work.

fredley

@Texenox Milk fats do not conduct electricity

djsmiley2k

5:14 PM

1. milk is like 80% water

@ardaozkal so?

fredley

I went swimming with a 3210. Never even turned off.

Texenox

@fredley That's good. Neither does water itself.

djsmiley2k

you doubt the physics of rice absorbing moisture?

Dragonrage

first you need to rinse it out with hydrogen peroxide, then put it in a bag of rice

Arperum

@Texenox dies

Dragonrage

5:15 PM

just kidding about the hydrogen peroxide

that might mess your phone up

fredley

Everything conducts electricity, assuming you have enough of it

Arperum

Are you saying water does not conduct electricity?

fredley

Put it in the oven. Not only will it dry it out, it'll reflow the solder!

Texenox

@Arperum It's the minerals in water that conduct electricity, I think.

Grace Note

Pretty sure we have a question on skeptics on the whole rice thing.

djsmiley2k

5:15 PM

pure deionised water doesn't.

Texenox

Pure distilled water wouldn't conduct it.

@djsmiley2k That's it.

Dragonrage

@fredley does a vacuum conduct electricity?

djsmiley2k

hmmm yeah distilled, not deionised

fredley

Q: Does immersing a wet phone in rice prevent it from dying?

There is a tale spreading around about people who have supposedly resuscitated their cell phones using bags of rice after dropping them in water or otherwise getting them soaked. The supposed science behind this is that the rice will "help soak up the water in the phone". http://lifehacker.com/...

djsmiley2k

No,

it absorbs moisture

it doesn't prevent anything else killingit.

fredley

5:16 PM

@Dragonrage A vacuum is not a thing, it's an absence of thing

djsmiley2k

sigh

Does having a case on my phone prevent my car from driving over it?

GodEmperorDune

@fredley urmom is an absence of thing

cc @wipqozn

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune damn ninja'd

fredley

@GodEmperorDune Only in relation to urmom

ICE BURN

Texenox

Maybe I'm being fuckibg stupid then.

djsmiley2k

5:17 PM

@fredley R u not diamond?

GodEmperorDune

argh, burn backfired

Texenox

Yeah, I might be stupid in this case.

djsmiley2k

@Texenox drying out wet eletronics properly helps

Arperum

@fredley So basically you are saying he should put his phone in cat litter?

Dragonrage

fredley

5:17 PM

@GodEmperorDune GET BURNT

@Arperum Yes

djsmiley2k

turning them on when wet doesn't7

Haider

Woah, my post is on fire.

fredley

Remove the cat first though

Wipqozn

Man, you guys are out of control.

djsmiley2k

@Arperum dry and clean litter, sure

also works for drying out inside of cars in winter.

fredley

5:18 PM

Texenox

Thing is, I'm actually on here from my phone.

Haider

Isn't the drama sorted out yet?

fredley

I haven't used that for so long

Texenox

I'm using my phone right now to speak to you guys.

djsmiley2k

@Haider different drama

Arperum

5:18 PM

@Haider What drama? There's been at least three drama things today.

djsmiley2k

@Texenox cool

Dragonrage

@Haider its the internet, there is always drama

djsmiley2k

remember my monitor?

the one with cat wee in it? And it kept working, for a week?

Dragonrage

Drama is why the internet was invented

fredley

Goes to check the Bridge Drama Filing Cabinet

Texenox

5:19 PM

@fredley Is that a thing?

djsmiley2k

..... it's dead :(

Texenox

I hope it is.

Haider

Dramas, dramas everywhere.

Dragonrage

Drama is what powers the universe

fredley

Drama cabinet is too full, topples, and crushes @fredley

Texenox

5:19 PM

@djsmiley2k ...oh.

ardaozkal

@fredley is that a script?

fredley

@ardaozkal Part of Porkchat

ardaozkal

Can you link that script if it isn't developed by you?

djsmiley2k

@Texenox the moisture was in where the wires were soldered, and had started corroding the joints

ardaozkal

I'd like to be able to access chat.

djsmiley2k

5:20 PM

I thought i'd dried it out, but that bit was horrible

fredley

@ardaozkal I can link that script if it isn't developed by me, but it is

Sterno

@Kevin There's a big difference between leaving a comment about the problems you see with an answer and having long an argument about it. Usually that difference comes down to tone (which can make the OP defensive) and whether or not you continue to respond to arguments about your comment. The comment isn't to convince the OP that they're wrong... it's to give other users some reasons why the OP might be wrong. Besides, given that the post in question now links to this meta, it's still effectively raising fbueckert's objection. It unfortunately just requires some clicking now. — Sterno 2 mins ago

Waiting for "Who is fbueckert?"

ardaozkal

@fredley link it

I'll do a LTSB.

djsmiley2k

ltsb?

ardaozkal

long term servicing branch

fredley

5:21 PM

@ardaozkal Here you go

ardaozkal

I basically will check the code on every single update

Unionhawk

@Sterno Didn't that guy delete his account last year?

Dragonrage

@ardaozkal do you know how to regenerate a info.plist file?

ardaozkal

@Dragonrage for ios?

Arperum

@ardaozkal @fredley you now have an option of trolling the hell out of @ardaozkal through repeated updates.

Dragonrage

5:24 PM

@ardaozkal yea, somehow the formatting got messed up and now my project wont build

fredley

@Arperum The option to DoS arda is tempting

ardaozkal

@Dragonrage can you link it here

GodEmperorDune

@fredley do eeeeeeeeet!

Dragonrage

@ardaozkal oh, interesting. I tried deleting it and it seemed to work now.

nukeforum

@Dragonrage it's just xml, check it out in a text editor and make sure that the formatting is correct. If it is, just make sure you have the stuff here: stackoverflow.com/questions/6323445/create-an-application-plist

ardaozkal

5:25 PM

Being DoSed by @fredley is better than using a @fredley plugin.

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal ಠ_ಠ

that's just one of the porkchat benefits

Haider

Can someone kill a chatroom for me ? Its this one made by me

Dragonrage

@nukeforum i opened it in VS13 which apparently changed the encoding for the save, so xcode didnt recognize it

GodEmperorDune

@Haider just don't post anything in it and it will freeze for inactivity

ardaozkal

@Dragonrage you ignored the popup, didn't you.

MadMAxJr

5:27 PM

Just say you have a free ticket for mod abuse, then someone will close it.

nukeforum

@Dragonrage Just gotta bring it into a text editor and convert it back to utf-8

Sterno

@Wipqozn Darkest Dungeon release is 10am PST tomorrow

Haider

...okey dokey

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage always open in notepad

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune *vs code

Dragonrage

5:27 PM

yea i ignored the popup.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Cool, I still need to finish up Yoshis Wooly World.

ardaozkal

Dragonrage

im a programmer. i know better than my computer what works

ardaozkal

never ignore this popup

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal sorry ms fanboi, i dislike that visual studio updates things when i open the code to read it

Dragonrage

5:28 PM

@ardaozkal that wasnt the popup that i got. it just said something about not supporting plists or something

Sterno

YOU SAW NOTHING

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno 3rd times the charm

Haider

No seriously, isn't there a mod who can just delete the chatroom that I've made ?

MadMAxJr

You can't delete chatrooms.

They can only be frozen.

nukeforum

@GodEmperorDune I just like updates in general. Especially when it forces a restart. That's why I've been an avid MS user for 15 years.

Haider

5:30 PM

How do I change its title, or move it to another section ?

Unionhawk

NOTHING(tm)

Sterno

That countdown is wrong anyway. It's for 1am. This is the worst.

@Unionhawk CHAT USER ABUSE

GodEmperorDune

@nukeforum oh yeah, "windows has just updated, your computer will restart in 5 minutes and there is nothing you can do to stop it"

Sterno

There, now it can look like ROOM OWNER ABUSE instead

GodEmperorDune

most fun

Unionhawk

5:31 PM

WHO GAVE UNI THE POWER TO LOOK AT HISTORY THAT'S NOT HIS CALL

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune it lets you know that you have an update now, it asks you to restart it in a very small notification, and if you don't update it, it updates in the background when you close it. You don't even feel it.

Unionhawk

bam now it's owner abuse

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal i'm not talking about VS updating itself, i'm talking about VS automatically making changes to the files i have open

Sterno

@Unionhawk brb, starting angry meta that will eventually get The Bridge deleted

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune oh? VS code doesn't do that afaik.

Haider

5:32 PM

I saw somewhere that a mod can delete a chatroom!

ardaozkal

VS code is a text editor

Like atom or sublime text

Unionhawk

@Haider cc @fredley

ardaozkal

@Haider only on extreme situations.

Unionhawk

(yes and I've just pinged one though I doubt action will be taken since it doesn't matter probably?)

Haider

Kill it , kill it with fire.

ardaozkal

5:33 PM

Aka @fredley can remove it when he is drunk.

nukeforum

@GodEmperorDune Love that feeling.

Haider

* My chatroom *

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal hmm, vs code? i must have misread the original thing

Dragonrage

Burn it with water

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune He opened with VS2013, I recommended VS code for those cases.

Sterno

5:34 PM

I have never been so interested in a chat room as I am now.

Haider

@fredley Hey Mr blue jelly bean, kindly delete this chatroom of mine.

2

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal yeah i was thinking the full version of VS, never used vs code

ardaozkal

@Haider that is a diamond minecraft steak

Arperum

@Haider But why do you need it deleted?

Haider

@ardaozkal It's a freakin' blue jelly bean.

Unionhawk

5:35 PM

Yeah, it didn't matter until now, and probably doesn't matter still

Haider

Cause, I want to, that's why. Must be my OCD @Arperum

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune Try it, it works on windows, Linux and MacOSX.

Arperum

@Haider If you are still owner: deowner yourself, remove it from your favorite rooms, wait. It'll be out of sight in a couple weeks.

Unionhawk

In fact, given little enough activity it might autodelete

unsure

Texenox

@djsmiley2k Ouch.

GodEmperorDune

5:36 PM

@ardaozkal i'm good with notepad++ on windows and gedit for linux

Unionhawk

let me check

Haider

@Arperum How do you de-owner yourself?

GodEmperorDune

or teamcity IDEs if i need something beefier

Texenox

Either way. Thing is, only the bottom part of my phone got submerged.

djsmiley2k

@Texenox cats will rule the earth

2

Texenox

5:37 PM

Everything else was fine.

Haider

Oh Okay, done.

Arperum

@Haider Are you actually diagnosed with OCD or is it the super dumb online fake OCD that has nothing to do with actual OCD thing?

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune I was using notepad++, but I liked the color scheme of VS Code better, and I can change encoding etc. pretty easily

Unionhawk

Yeah, a room will be deleted if it is inactive for 7 days and does not have 15 messages from 2 users

Texenox

@Arperum >tumblr-level self-diagnosis

Sterno

5:37 PM

@Arperum So aggressive.

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal you are also a hardcore MS fanboy :p

Unionhawk

A room will be frozen after 14 days if it does have 15 messages from 2 users

Texenox

@GodEmperorDune So true.

Haider

@Arperum I had meds for it, but I am not taking them. Trying to over come it myself.

djsmiley2k

gl with that

GodEmperorDune

5:38 PM

i like notepad++, it works for me, but I'm glad you enjoy vs code

Texenox

@Haider oh that's real nice

ardaozkal

@GodEmperorDune I like Linux too, but MS is my first choice usually.

Arperum

@Haider So the actual one. In that case I will not go on a rant about how dumb the fake one is.

djsmiley2k

what do anti OCD meds do?

take away the anxiety?

Texenox

I use Notepad++ occasionally.

nukeforum

5:39 PM

@ardaozkal You can change all the colors of notepad++ :o

I have basically every default changed

ardaozkal

@nukeforum ikno

I was unable to catch the same colorscheme I love on Vs

Unionhawk

The man uses a windows phone

Texenox

@Arperum If it's the same thing as teens claiming they have a bunch of different disorders, some of which can't even co-exist, then I think I might know what you're talking about.

Unionhawk

let's be real here

Haider

@djsmiley2k Yeah, deals with anxiety and fills the depleted serotonin in the brain.

djsmiley2k

5:40 PM

i think i've got some kinda serotonin uptake issue

GodEmperorDune

@Haider as with anytime mental health issues are raised here, i HIGHLY encourage you to get whatever the appropriate professional help is for these things. There's no shame in it and things can really suck if you don't

djsmiley2k

other than the existing depression.

GodEmperorDune

/endrant

djsmiley2k

I think something else is going on, god knows what though.

Unionhawk

-ranting

ardaozkal

5:40 PM

I probably need serotonin.

djsmiley2k

Hmmm, can you get serotonin injections?

@ardaozkal how old you again?

GodEmperorDune

@djsmiley2k no but you can get SSRIs

Haider

@GodEmperorDune It's not really an issue. I am on my road to recovery.

ardaozkal

I've been on depression for over a year now.

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune I believe that's what I'm on.

@ardaozkal hmmmmm try 20ish years and counting

Arperum

5:41 PM

@ardaozkal everyone needs that, but your body produces it itself normally.

GodEmperorDune

@Haider glad to hear it

ardaozkal

@djsmiley2k ouch, that sucks

Haider

@GodEmperorDune They say SSRIs are the new world order drug. :p

djsmiley2k

yes, yes it does

GodEmperorDune

@Haider people say a lot of wacky shit

djsmiley2k

5:42 PM

SSNRI

:D

Haider

@ardaozkal Get well soon, bro.

djsmiley2k

It helps, but right now no job, trying to buy house wihtout bank finding out about lack of job

/me sighs

ardaozkal

@Haider I've like 20 days free starting this friday, I'll probably feel better

Haider

@ardaozkal Ah okay. Wish you all the best.

ardaozkal

Thanks.

Dragonrage

5:44 PM

well now my app builds, but it wont use my app icon bundle and it is being compressed

djsmiley2k

I just can't get over how much I hate everyone :/

Dragonrage

it wont use the space where the status bar normally is

GodEmperorDune

@djsmiley2k well this is the bridge :D

Unionhawk

All right everypeople, store time

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune I don't mean here

I mean in general

I really really need an interview or something right now

GodEmperorDune

5:47 PM

@djsmiley2k i'm not sure how the UK job market is, but the tech sector in the US always starts hiring at the beginning of the year

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune yeah, that'd make sense randomly

tho ideally i just want my old old role back

theres some temp positions atm but they being sloooow

GodEmperorDune

basically because new budgets are available, holidays are over, etc

djsmiley2k

yah

GodEmperorDune

yeah i did temping for a while and it was horrible

djsmiley2k

yeah, only concidering this as I already know the role etc

GodEmperorDune

5:50 PM

that's nice

also i'll plug workplace.se for being able to help with most job related things

djsmiley2k

and once in there, always chances to go up and secure something long term

GodEmperorDune

improving resumes and such

djsmiley2k

nod

my resume is a huge list of tech's

you name it, i've likely done some work with it

but it's a little bit everywhere unfortunately

ardaozkal

@djsmiley2k brainf*ck?

djsmiley2k

@ardaozkal I'm not a programmer :P

but I know some php / bash

Haider

5:54 PM

Ah, I am gonna start programming, soon-ish.. Wish me luck

ardaozkal

good luck

I'm in the US and have 30 years of experience with a bunch of different companies, working in high-tech and the software industry. I have a lot of links, skills, and education which has pushed my resume to five pages in length. How can I reduce the length of my past experience, skills, and educa...
