Q: Do units heal faster in your own territory?

niicoDo units heal faster in your own territory? If yes - where did you get this information? "heal" and "healing" have no Civilopedia entries (srsly). I can find nothing on Google.

 
@GnomeSlice first time i've heard it
 
9:20 PM
Happy Halloween
Also apparently a bunch of women went to a Trump rally to protest him objectifying women by walking around in nothing but pasties
lol?

Q: What are the effects of the Lightning, Laser and Rainbow Pickaxes?

JohnRecently, there were added some new rare pickaxes to the game: The Laser, the Lightning and the Rainbow pickaxes. I've searched the Wiki, but there is no info on these new Pickaxes. What are their effects?

Q: How to change sound effect?

ValamasThey have one sound effect file that I feel is wrong. When a wonder is completed by another CIV and the side bar notification shows and plays the sound. It sounds like the same effect in CIV 5 that is a barbarian camp spawning. So I am wondering if I can change that. I tried looking for sound ...

Q: We received the heret-

fi12In playing civilization 6, I encountered a leader response that seemed quite puzzling to me. I met another civ (Spain), who was neutral towards me. A few turns after I encountered him, he sends me a trade delegation. Wanting to return the favor, I send one back, and receive a strange response: ...

Q: Why does Dan's hair change color?

m04merlinIn Minecraft story mode, episode 6. Some big Minecraft YouTubers make a guest appearance including Dan aka TheDiamondMinecart. Thought the episode Dan's hair changes color. Why is that?

Q: Skyrim Console: Is there a command the opposite of PRID?

monstoFOR USE IN BAT FILES I need to deselect whatever is selected. I know that for example prid 14 will select the player. Is there a command to deselect in this context?

 
user15026
@Yuuki I love that this is a thing

What a strange world we live in

> Although the language is dynamically typed, certain checks are still done on operations between two invalid variables. If one were to write something about Pinkie Pie going on a date with a number, the interpreter should throw an exception- in this case, a RidiculousException.

Q: What are the differences between Skyrim & Skyrim: Special Edition?

jojoWhat are the major differences between Skyrim and Skyrim: Special Edition? I'm looking to understand all of the signficant changes between Skyrim and Skyrim: SE; not just whether or not a few quests have been changed or not. Specifically looking for: Graphical improvements? Gameplay improvemen...

 
@Ash I'm having a fun time exploring esolangs right now.
 
wait where is the interpreter for the language?
nevermind, someone wrote it
 
user15026
@Yuuki I like that people make this stuff up
 
user15026
10:08 PM

now I want fruit

> Many mourn the demise of LAIDBACK because of its reputation as a gentle and nonthreatening language. For example, LAIDBACK responded to syntax errors with the message, SORRY MAN, I CAN'T DEAL WITH THAT.
 
user15026
@Yuuki It was so pretty AND THEN IT WASN'T
 
@Ash a more elegant trolling, from a more elegant age
 
@GodEmperorDune where did you find these things related to quizzes and such?
 
10:19 PM
Fucking ridiculous.
 
@Unionhawk go to the section about "check availability at the bottom", select some dates and click it
 
Right
 
it should give you a code to enter into the access box in the upper right corner
 
I did not realize that was a text box
 
mad hax
 
i have to admit, it's kinda sad that there is no esolang named Brexit yet
 
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
@GodEmperorDune they are considering profile and will contact me.
 
@spugsley pls
 
user15026
@MBraedley Wow, that's just ridiculous
 
10:30 PM
@MBraedley someone living on the border should start a smuggling business
 
@GodEmperorDune NO U
 
@spugsley how is seattle?
 
@GodEmperorDune perfectly fall :) And I've been out shooting more because I love it and I have new venture that may or may not increase my famousness
 
@spugsley HYPE!
 
@GodEmperorDune Right?!?! I'm even learning some HTML, gasp. And I know how to use the developer tools setting thing :O
 
10:35 PM
My sofa is under warranty, so I don't have to buy the part myself (or even perform the repair), just need to take some pretty pretty pictures of what's wrong and send an email.
 
@spugsley i am looking forward to some HAWT CSS
 
@GodEmperorDune lol I changed the colors on my template ALL BY MYSELF
lol And I did a dance and Ian was like wtf I was doing that in 8th grade and I was like DON'T SHAME ME
 
@spugsley that's a paddlin'
 
but then I showed him because I learned about resolutions and images and fonts and NOW I CAN CHANGE A LEAST FIVE THINGS ON MY OWN
and now I am learning about kerning also fonts are annoying
 
Day one of Comic-con, complete.
 
10:43 PM
oh are you taking that web designer a week course thing?
i tried it for a while, played the web designer games and stuff but i am terrible at it
 
@GodEmperorDune lol no. I just thought these letters looked fucked what is that? And then I googled it
I am intrigued by this game you say. What is that?
 
@spugsley umm let me see if i can find it
 
Ooooo fun. I'll check that out
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I hate that game. I want to be good at it because I can see when things are wrong but I am bad at setting them right
 
10:47 PM
Hmm
This link is continuously redirecting
I blame you @GodEmperorDune
 
@Ash i am so bad at it, i don't know what looks good or bad
@Unionhawk which link?
 
@GodEmperorDune My assessment results
 
@GodEmperorDune The redirecting one obv.
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Tried it again, got 64/100
 
user15026
I suck at serif fonts
 
10:50 PM
@Unionhawk worked on my phone
clearly you are not cut out for the harsh realities of westworld
 
See it didn't work on my phone
Or chrome or edge
What browser on your phone? Safari?
Chrome for iOS?
 
lol I've gotten 100% on the first 5
maybe I'm not terrible at this
 
@Unionhawk all browsers on ios render with safari
 
user15026
@spugsley They get STUPID hard.
 
user15026
10:52 PM
At least for me
 
@GodEmperorDune That's true
 
user15026
I hate serifs
 
Goddammit
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Nicely done
 
@GnomeSlice noice
 
user15026
10:52 PM
@GnomeSlice I think I got like 4/100 on that one :P
 
I got 78 overall, and I hit 100 for a couple of them
 
this is neat
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice how are you getting all the ones I struggled with
 
user15026
thats crazy
 
10:53 PM
@GodEmperorDune 88, although I didn't know you could move more than 1 letter initially.
 
@Ash i think some people just have a better visual sense for this sort of thing
i'm like in the 40s
even playing it repeatedly and kinda remembering where things go i'm still bad at it
 
ughhh I'm trying to figure out what a good font is for a title (no serifs, serifs are the WORST) and all I can find are fonts to download I don't want to download a font I want to use something I already haveeeeeeeeeee
 
@spugsley Download a free font
 
cc @uni
 
10:56 PM
@GnomeSlice but there are SO many fonts in PS already like....are none of those good enough?
 
Those are just the ones that come on your PC
 
@GodEmperorDune That's insane.
 
@spugsley look up Geo Sans
 
@Frank i went for highest end package with maximum stay
the man in black clearly has a lot of cash to throw around
 
10:58 PM
no wonder they let him do whatever he wants
although all the bogus fees make it so much more realistic
 
@GnomeSlice Oooo I like Geo Sans Light a LOT. But I have to download that and I have never done that :3
 
@spugsley download it, double click it, install it, then relaunch PS
 
user15026
@spugsley I hate serifs
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice O.o you are awesome
 
@GodEmperorDune I got an android device >_>
 
If you get really into print/image design and need to keep track of all your fonts, get NexusFont
 
@Unionhawk clearly westworld caters to the ios market
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I got zeroes on the first two and gave up
 
@GnomeSlice holy fuck that was so easy O_O now a whole new world of possibilities exist for me. Thank you
 
@spugsley Just keep in mind installing shitloads of fonts will eventually slow down your system. Grab a font manager once you start getting loads of em, they'll let you easily uninstall and reinstall the ones you want
NexusFont ftw
 
11:03 PM
@GnomeSlice I honestly love this one and think it's exactly what I want
 
Geo Sans is so nice
 
@GodEmperorDune Chrome extensions maybe to the rescue
 
one of the best free sans faces out there imo
@GodEmperorDune This is a lot harder
 
@GnomeSlice yeah
 
I want to design a little skeleton logo for eventually and put it in place of the "o" on my headline. But that's way out of my skill set rn
I think it'll look good with this geo font
 
user15026
11:07 PM
@spugsley But it gives you something to work towards!
 
@GodEmperorDune so far all of them have been snapped vertical moves
which makes it a bit easier
 
@Ash yeah it's nice having things I want to learn :)
 
damn I'm good
 
@GnomeSlice WOW
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice holyshit
 
11:08 PM
Hold shift, lets you move them in a vertical/horizontal plane
Also when there's other curves in (most) fonts, use that as a basis for the curves it gives you
 
xD and it doesn't render on ie
 
my problem is that i can't see what makes it looks good
 
God dammit
 
also @frank supergirl is a great series, but the logo for it looks like 90s CGI and it bothers me so much
 
I saw bounty hunter
That's good enough for me
 
11:10 PM
better than I thought I was doing
 
We're all soldiers now
 
dammit, I found one I like better. I have to stop looking at fonts now
 
@spugsley which?
 
you've created a monster @GnomeSlice
@GnomeSlice Roboto
 
@spugsley domo arigato
 
11:11 PM
@spugsley Also, wherever you're looking, make sure the font is free for Commercial use
@spugsley yeah that one's free too
I don't like the wiggly bits in Roboto
@spugsley Nexusfont will let you compare whichever fonts you want with whatever text you want side by side just fyi
 
I'm using the condensed
@GnomeSlice yeah I should get that
 
It's really useful
idk what you're working on but I used it all through college
@GodEmperorDune @Ash how did you guys do on the shape one
 
@GnomeSlice so bad i didn't try to finish
 
lol
76
@Unionhawk OH I just realized this was directed at me
huehuehue
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I got a bunch of zeroes in a row then turned one letter pretty much inside out and gave up
 
11:14 PM
@Ash Hahaha, awe.
These games are fun
Are there any more @GodEmperorDune
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I am so bad at design stuff

Q: Is there a numerical overview over your XP progression?

MoritzLostIn Borderlands 2, you always have the XP bar and your current level right at the bottom of your screen. However, there's no numerical indication of my total amount of XP earned, XP needed for the next level and so on. I have checked all the ingame menues but can't seem to find any information/ove...

 
@spugsley Raleway
 
@GnomeSlice they all came from hackdesign.org/lessons
 
user15026
11:18 PM
@badp FFS, Facebook.
 
"Sure it's illegal to target ads based on the color of your skin, but since we guess and we don't get it right 100% of the time, it's actually fine"
 
@badp that's pretty bad
but also
> But, Jespersen said, these days most advertisers know not to submit discriminatory ads: “I haven’t seen an ad with ‘whites only’ for a long time.”
lol
 
"it's not whites only, it's just exclude Latinos Asians African Americans Eskimos and Grace Note"
 
@badp i mean i see how this is bad, but it's not like the ad says "no minorities", it's just never shown to minorities
 
and this isn't discriminatory advertising because…
You're literally picking the racial profiles you don't want to see your ad
 
user15026
11:22 PM
@GodEmperorDune so it's just silent awful
 
This is literally what is happening
 
user15026
which is still awful
 
I mean my landlord openly prefers Italians (and most Italians are white) but I guess that isn't illegal here
 
I think it's less minorities and more based on somebody's cultural interests
Which is still discrimination per ad placement
and pretty bad
 
(or is it @KevinvanderVelden)
but it's illegal to do so in the US so eh
 
user15026
11:23 PM
@GnomeSlice Cultural interests, for the most part, align very closely with your race
 
@Ash Not all the time, but yes.
 
user15026
Like I suspect this "ethnic affinity" thing will have a VERY strong correlation with the users actual racial group
 
user15026
and either way, it's nasty
 
That's how machine learning usually works
 
i mean i can see how the end result, an apartment complex that only rents to whites, is illegal, but targeting ads seems a bit much
 
11:24 PM
You make something that guesses the most often then use it
 
I mean
 
user15026
I don't care if I'm actually the thing or you just think I'm the thing because machine learning, you're opretty much saying "I don't want this thing or people who think like/appear to be this thing"
 
what if i run ads on websites that one minority group tends to visit but not another?
 
Both the chinese guys I work with say the places they lived where they were the happiest were in small chinese communites
in suburban ontario but still
 
does my housing ad literally have to be on EVERY site to not be discriminatory?
 
11:24 PM
It does sound uncharacteristic for the US
@GodEmperorDune but does the one site you post your ad to hellban minorities?
 
@GodEmperorDune we're talking about facebook though
 
@badp let's say i advertise my apartment complex on stormfront
 
Can I access stormfront?
 
and not anywhere else
@badp yes
but chances are you would never stumble upon it
 
then it's a more open ad listing than Facebook's
 
11:26 PM
@GnomeSlice O Font Master, how do I uninstall a font?
 
@badp I'm going to make the assumption it's illegal. It's over here too.
 
literally
 
@spugsley erm
 
@Arperum maybe he only told me and the person I heard from because we're both Italians
 
It's been a while since I really worked with fonts a lot.
You gotta browse to your fonts folder
Assuming you're using Windows
 
11:28 PM
@badp Possibly. Doesn't make it less illegal.
 
@GnomeSlice I am. I'll go looking
 
@Arperum til
 
@spugsley Start menu, type in 'Fonts' in search
@spugsley OR get a font manager :P
 
@GnomeSlice haha :p
 
I mean at the end of the day if you make up your mind that you're not going to rent to some minority you're probably going to be able to do that
 
user15026
11:29 PM
Man, I hate the MacGuffin quest.
 
user15026
It's probably the worst KoL questline.
 
If you put an ad out you probably aren't bound to accept one of the offers
At least that's not the impression I got
not that it usually is a problem
 
to be clear, i am fully on board with not discriminating in housing or anything else, i just don't see how the fact that you are using facebook's demographics data to only show it to some visitors makes it illegal and posting it to other places that also happen to only have the demographics you like is not illegal
 
Typically you have more tenants than landlords
@GodEmperorDune because Facebook literally does not let that minority see the ad e en if they were willing to stomach the visit?
There's a difference between unlikely and unable to view
 
@badp but facebook is not providing the housing, it is providing advertising space
 
11:31 PM
if you're going to discriminate anyway, and you probably are, the only difference is you're saving some advertising bucks
 
@GodEmperorDune The Fair Housing Act in the US makes it illegal to discriminate in advertising as well iirc
Not just final sale
 
@badp Nope, but if the person who got refused can prove you did it because of his race/nationality he can sue you.
 
if i go to a physical location, say the wall of a building owned by the KKK, and ONLY put my advertisement there, is that illegal?
 
@Arperum sounds like a tall order :/
 
@Arperum I'd be so scared of getting sued I'd probably give it to all minorities
 
11:32 PM
@badp true
 
@GodEmperorDune No, because anybody can see it
 
@GnomeSlice that's still discriminatory yo
 
> The Fair Housing Act of 1968 makes it illegal "to make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
hang on now
"that indicates preference for"
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I am irrationally annoyed that all the Quest log text for the diary quest refer to 'your father" because I am playing as Ed so it's not my dad
 
@GnomeSlice right, if they get past all the guards and whatnot
@Ash you should report it as a bug, they might fix it
 
11:33 PM
presumably that means that you can't say "house for sale, men preferred"
but you CAN advertise it in a men's magazine
Interesting
So Facebook's shit isn't illegal then
 
but women can buy men's magazines
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I should!
 
The ad is on a piece of paper that anyone can read
 
The link to the actual law piece is 404
Can't see if it mentions anything about discriminating in ad viewership opportunity
 
It's different from having the ad in a piece of paper that is only readable to whites
One thing's being unlikely to see an ad that still has been published to the world at large
Another thing is being unable to see an ad because the website is actively refusing to serve it to you
 
11:36 PM
i mean this is how they do voter suppression, they pick correlations that match up with the groups that they don't want to vote, then they pass laws based on those correlations
 
I suppose it isn't a perfect law?
 
group A usually votes early and votes for the other side... goodbye early voting
 
All I'm arguing is that there is the difference between publishing on a medium with a target and selective publishing
 
@badp if i was dictator, government supplied housing for everyone, problem solved
 
@GodEmperorDune which is why you aren't one. NEXT
 
11:38 PM
@badp and probably will never be, my hands are too large
 
Case of voter fraud in Iowa, but: 1) It was caught. 2) It was the first in local memory. 3) It was a Trump voter. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2016/10/28/voter-fraud-suspect-arrested-des-moines/92892042/
 
@GodEmperorDune it's funny because this is closer to Facebook's point
 
Slightly related
 
If you are black, you don't have to be believed to be black by Facebook, and if you are, that's your problem, not Facebook
Why do you gotta be so black
Why can't you be a closet black
 
11:45 PM
@spugsley did you find it?
 
@GnomeSlice yup I got it :)
my eyes hurt from looking at fonts
@GodEmperorDune do you know if google fonts are generally free for commercial use?
I don't see a thing that says no
 
@spugsley i have no idea
 
bleh
you'd think they'd put that info somewhere easy to find
 
google is usually chill about such things but I don't know for sure
 
Oh I meant to tag @GnomeSlice who is the Font Master currently
but :p
OKAY THIS IS THE ONE NO MORE FONTS
