@GnomeSlice I finished a draft of it, yes.

GnomeSlice

Congrats!

Thanks!

Oh joy, only the first breakpoint triggers when I have multiple dojo/on functions on different elements

as if debugging this wasn't hard enough

> coffee machine is working now

Best news all day!

@StrixVaria Yeah I saw that. What a monster. Having finish your book in a few days is definitely a good sign.

@StrixVaria you wrote a book? where can I get it?

in Fantasy Stories (Spoilers), 23 hours ago, by StrixVaria

Disclaimer for anyone who I didn't send a copy of my book to: A lot more people signed up than I expected and I want to keep the number of readers down at the start. If I start looking for more readers, people who already signed up will be first.

@StrixVaria wow

I'm reading it but can hardly find extended times to progress quickly

12:37 PM

Sounds like it's already better than Shamrock Snow

I'm past the 20 minute mark. This i insane

@StrixVaria I'm currently eating pizza as breakfast/lunch/whatever you call your first meal of the day at 2:30PM. After that I should be available for a chat about the things I noticed from my first reading through. (Yes, I'm rereading it in the not-so-distant future)

@Arperum No rush.

@Wipqozn I knew writing this in advance would be useful.

@StrixVaria I have this week between two jobs, so poke me whenever it is convenient for you :)

@Arperum I'm WFH today, so today sometime will be convenient. I'll let you know when I'm at the computer that has Steam installed (instead of my work laptop).

12:44 PM

@StrixVaria Just poke me on steam :)

Steam, the only chat client that doesn't keep a history. But in their defense, they can't afford it. They barely stay in business.

> The first US presidential debate in history to feature a woman a candidate has proven to be a textbook example of this practice. In 90 minutes, Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton 51 times, often talking over her for several seconds.
Trump’s conduct during the debate exemplifies the type of microaggression that belittles women publicly as a way to assert their power, and to dismiss women.

Eh. I mean, it's possible the guy is just an asshole.

@Sterno Pretty much. Look at him debate Republican candidates - he does that to everybody

@Sterno That's not just Hillary being a woman. That's also Trump being, well, Trump.

@Sterno Really? Steam isn't making money even though they effectively run the digital games market?

@Nzall I think you missed the sarcasm.

@Nzall I think he was being facetious.

12:58 PM

@Arperum Sarcasm works badly when the sarcastic message is even close to believable

I didn't figure Steam "barely staying in business" was believable

They don't have money for HL3, right?

@Nzall ... That has nothing to do about money.

@Arperum Then what is?

> as of February 9, 2011, Half-Life 2 had sold over 12 million copies.

1:01 PM

@StrixVaria I've reposted it twice, so yeah, super handy.

Absolutely not, as you can see. They absolutely did not make millions off their game.

@Nzall Maybe they do not have a proper plan for that game? Maybe they are smart enough to realize that whatever they make it will not come up to expectations and result in infinite piles of hatred.

@Sterno Yeah, I don't think this specific case anything to do with her gender. Trump is just an insane asshole.

@Arperum I would settle for a novelization to resolve the story.

Episode 2 ended on a gigantic cliffhanger.

I did not play any of the half life games, so I don't know.

@StrixVaria That's no fun.

1:04 PM

My daughter has the cheapest tablet available for purchase wrapped in a giant layer of rubber, and she's watching The Wiggles sing Farmer in the Dell on repeat just so she can yell "dog!" whenever it gets to that part of the song.

The other day I played "What does the fox say" for her and she sat silently through the entire song, watching but not reacting, until the very end as the fox is scampering away into the woods, when she pointed at it and yelled "bear!"

@StrixVaria So you won't be stuck in an endless fox hell like @Sterno was?

I need trick @Sterno into watching that video with his daughter present

I like how cllintn just callled Trump crazy

@Arperum I mean, the stated intention was for episode 3 to come soon after. It was an episodal thing after all

@KevinvanderVelden I did at no point follow that game series.

Yeah

@LessPop_MoreFizz I feel like you need to play Virginia. It's got a very David Lynch vibe to it.

Q: how to recover (minecraftpe) games file back

I evidently deleted games files from mcpe and I can't change my normal skin to my own skin in minecraft and I actually have the games file but its missing something in it that's not letting me change my skin so I must add that file that's missing in it does somebody have all the files that's need...

@StrixVaria Your browser is probably just tired or getting tricked into watching Rebecca Black videos

So Trump basically just admitted to tax fraud. Good stuff.

1:39 PM

Well overall his is a relief I think

The main concern is that there's two more debates and I can't believe his managers will let him do that poorly again

Whateva! Trump does what he wants! <cartman.gif>

He really didn't echo many of his usual Clinton talking points, at a minimum

That said his performance last night was god awful

I think him being an idiot and interjecting a lot will play into the deepest of his base but that's not who he needs to convince

In some ways it's lucky for Clinton that she's lagging because she can't drum up support in her own base, since it's (hopefully) more receptive to her doing well

But my head still hurts from all that nonsense last night, whew

No cold, no allergies: Trump denies he was sniffling during the debate. http://apne.ws/2d3fyDU

Gorp

1:48 PM

I like to believe that Trump never imagined he'd get this far and has realized he doesn't want to be president. He can't exactly just back down at this point so instead he just wants to be even more ridiculous with the hope that nobody votes for him

Scandals: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

now he's bragging about how he exploits legal loopholes to avoid paying people

That ending was great

@Gorp Judging from how people at his campaign rallies are behaving, he could literally execute a Mexican in cold blood on live TV and he still wouldn't lose points

Putin the Putain could actually break the world and he would do it

Putain => french slang for prostitute

> I think Trump just criticized me for preparing for this debate, and you know I did. And you know what else I prepared for? Being president.

get rekt

also what. that's like some fucking grade school shit

"lol ur studied 4 teh test lol neerrrrrrrrrdddddd"

This might be a bit extreme, but is it too much to hope that something will happen that makes Trump legally unfit for presidency?

where he constitutionally cannot continue his campaign because he's broken certain laws?

@Nzall If that were to happen, Clinton should also be unfit.

I blame China

2:16 PM

@Frank Is there anything at this point that may prevent a candidate from continuing on, other than the candidat's murder?

I'm old enough to be president now. Vote for me

me pro much

@Frank also, given how much resentment there is for Clinton, I wouldn't consider BOTH candidates being unfit as a downside. Makes room for Bernie

@Sterno I'd rather have you than Trump

@Nzall Trust me, anyone their establishments put in their place wouldn't be any better.

@Wipqozn Honestly, I'd have Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo over Trump

Also, is it me, or has the Kerning on the Tr in Trump changed compared to my "legally unfit" message?

seems narrower compared to the previous message

2:22 PM

@Sterno you should run and make "Better than Trump" your slogon

It was that it doesn't give such issues on me

Ah.

Do you have Porkchat?

nvm I can't open chat

@Yuuki yes, on chrome

So it just doesn't like Porkchat then

If/when it does, I'll try and fix it

I might have initiated the fix process for you.

@Unionhawk How much she smiled dind't even occur to me

probably because I'm not sexist

I was going to say, the previous iteration of that was redundant

4:49 PM

> 18) Falsely claimed, on the “birther” conspiracy, that “nobody was pressing it” after 2011. (Trump repeatedly tweeted and spoke about the subject in the following years. In 2013, for example, he tweeted, “How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived.”)

> Trump said he had considered replying by raising former President Bill Clinton’s history of infidelity as a response but opted against it because the couple’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, was in the room. The Manhattan billionaire said he might opt not to hold back such an attack at the next debate.

6:01 PM

The best part is that it wasn't just usernames/passwords that got stolen. Also the answers to security questions, making it even easier for them to get you elsewhere

And of course my wife has a Yahoo account with a password she uses on 20 other sites

@Sterno So not much longer until you quit again? Also I should play those games some day. I know @JasonBerkan (RIP) is a huge fan

There's a leak in the roof just outside my office. We have typical office building ceiling tile. I really don't want water to spill on my head (or my computer for that matter).

@arda what does the equivalent thing in outlook.com look like

meanwhile in the land of Exchange-based email

exchange has been an absolute nightmare

exchange will continue being an absolute nightmare

@arda right, so the entire feature is missing

@badp can't live with it, can't run a MS-based business without it :(

Yeah, but imo it is useless. At least it just causes annoyance for me

and really isnt anythin else suitable

I think we were using Mercury mail beforehand

any good?

6:44 PM

dunno, I couldn't use it

I was hired mid-transition and I was put directly on Exchange

ah

so I had to deal with the nonsense from day 1 while my coworkers were talking about sieve filters and whatnot

TURNS OUT PEOPLE USED TO TURING-COMPLETE EMAIL SORTING WON'T BE VERY HAPPY WHEN TRANSITIONED TO EXCHANGE

I had to spin up my own turing-complete email sorting system too, just on the client side. imapfilter is nice and will work on any sufficiently competent IMAP server

but if you're using something else, like Exchange, you will have to distrust it and use the more expensive match_ functions that do the pattern matching on the client side

booooo

6:50 PM

also that's only so much reliable since, yknow, it will only sort your email for as long as it's actually running

at all other times, if you don't set up something else, all of your email will go directly to the inbox, and possibly ring your mobile

yah the joys

and this is why people don't check email

@Sterno but if you do that then I might wind up playing it too. Play Resident Evil isntead.
