@AshleyNunn I find that cracking the egg onto the rice adds too much moisture.

Which is fine if your rice is particularly dry.

Such as after refrigeration.

user15026

@Yuuki I just do it that way because it is quicker.

5:13 PM

But not so much if it's been freshly steamed.

user15026

Usually I'm making fried rice with leftover rice anyhow.

user15026

(Most recipes to tell you to use cold leftover refrigerated rice, if you look)

Usually because of the moisture issue.

user15026

I can see why you'd not want it on the fresh rice, but rarely do I ever make fried rice fresh, it's usually my go-to "use up the leftover everything" dish

Q: Can my friend buy a car in gta 5 and mod it and give it to me if he removed the cars insurance so I can keep it

@RedRiderX I am very impressed by the lack of input delay with non-ASIO drivers

@Chippies The new Web Audio api is amazing.

@RedRiderX the input delay is lower than DAWs running VSTs though :o

that is really impressive

@Chippies I know Digital Audio Workstation but what is VST?

@RedRiderX basically the sound virtualizer plugins

I probably should've just quoted wiki: Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is a software interface that integrates software audio synthesizer and effect plugins with audio editors and recording systems. VST and similar technologies use digital signal processing to simulate traditional recording studio hardware in software.

5:35 PM

@Chippies Ah I see.

I think you can hook up an actual midi device to this too.

majority of all synths and effects that aren't built-in are vst

yeah, I saw that

too bad my desk isn't big enough to keep the midi keyboard on at all times

I wish you could stretch this out between multiple monitors in a nicer way.

Tim Stone

Oh good, it's time to play the "Did I remember to take my medicine earlier?" game.

There are so many widgets!

also, this is the first time I actually get to enjoy the N-key rollover on my keyboard

5:37 PM

Hah right

damn, some of the presets are amazing, I want this as a vst

I wanted to try it as a drum machine on my tablet but I don't think my tablet can handle it.

user15026

@TimStone Not something easy like caplets you can count?

Tim Stone

Some days I forget to take it so I never know what the right count should be.

user15026

@TimStone that would make things trickier, yes

5:50 PM

I think every medication should come in a calendar thing like birth control does so you can easily tell if you've taken it that day.

i use one of those 7 day pillboxes

so i know i've taken it

unless someone is gaslighting me

If this Minecraft goes slower than 2 exceptions per day, it'll explode!

Weird image of the day

@Texenox probably best to keep behind a link

it's a 50mb gif

also, the gif version lags a lot more than the gifv, which is behind the link and doesn't onebox

@Chippies Yeah, that much I figured.

I put it behind a hyperlink to the GIFV now.

that web synth is making me wanna make some music, but I know when I'll open DAW, I'll just mess around a bit and turn it off after a bit without actually making anything

Somewhat spoilery of the bits of Undertale that are also in the free demo

Q: Graphics of Far Cry 3 not that good after unexpected shutdown

First of all, I know this is not a site about hardware problems. But I think if we are gamers, then we probably know something about the hardware. So here is the problem: I was playing Far Cry 3 on my laptop on ultra settings, and it was working smoothly. Now, the laptop's battery just died, and ...

@badp I will have to peek at this later when I am home. (I assume it's no longer spoilery for me? I am past the Toriel stuff)

@AshleyNunn Yes, you can click safely.

@RedRiderX "Aaaargh! A virus!" "Nope, just Testa"?

@badp Nifty, then I will check it out later tonight :)

Q: Farkas keeps talking to me

So one day I was at the Skyforge to craft some draugr armor [I completed the Companions Questline so this isn't a mod for draugr armor]. I noticed Farkas, one of the Companions, ran up to me and started to talk to me. I exited his dialogue but then he keeps talking to me all over again. I don'...

I got Zombies 5K some time ago through a Humble Bundle but I noticed that I can't use a Spotify playlist while playing it / running. While the free version of Zombies! Run! has support for external playlists, Zombies 5K doesn't (and it's a paid version). Since I have almost no locally stored musi...

One of the fluorescent light tubes in this office has started flickering at it is making me crazy.

8:22 PM

@AshleyNunn It's basically time to quit your job. Either that or go slowly insane.

Think, The Machinist kind of insane

user58869

@Sterno is that meant to be a music video?

user15026

@fredley I don't know what that means :P

@AshleyNunn s'a film

user58869

ive never heard of vanessa black until i clicked on that link

user15026

@fredley Ah. :)

8:24 PM

This list annoys me

user58869

i thought it was going to be some footage from fallout 4

user15026

@fredley Most of this list is things I don't like :P

@AshleyNunn Quite a few good ones, but then, well, Archer

user15026

Ah, yeah, I can see why it would lose its appeal then :P

user15026

It does remind me I need to get caught up on Silicon valley again.

@djsmiley2k Not bad at all.

good good

9:06 PM

Hahahahahahahaha someone broke the Keureg 2.0 restriction on those packs that you can fill with your own coffee

Did they use another bit of tape?

Dunno, I'm not actually sure how the restriction works

Yeah, tape: keurighack.com

Oh, well I got a product to do it (I didn't have an old one anyway so whatever)

Like, those things that allow you to use regular coffee

Basically they read something from the top of the cup, so cut that bit of and tape it to the reader and voila

9:15 PM

Either way, I have a thing that works

Also my house is empty and boring right now

@Unionhawk Last year's news today, with @Unionhawk

@fredley you know what I wasn't aware it had been done so I was avoiding it.

Also this brings the total number of in-service coffee makers in my house to 2, and total to... 3 I think

@KevinvanderVelden how about not buying the damn shit.

9:32 PM

Meh, they had to mark them down because nobody was buying them, plus either way it's convenient for me to make just a cup of coffee

And it's cheaper even buying the official cups than it would be to get coffee on campus

And spreading the information to people that bought the device not knowing it was crippled

And making fun of them for doing such a piss poor job at crippling their own device

Meh, either way

When I bought it it did explicitly say that only their brand cups would work

Which, clearly

Monster.

well, it's for someone that told me it's really good now and i should play it tomorrow

user58869

i have't played it for ages

10:59 PM

@badp WHAT IS THIS GAME RIGHT NOW

@Unionhawk what happen.

Pequod, you ballsy idiot.

cc @twobugs

Undertale happen.

I called for a helicopter pick-up after stealthing out and noticed an APC about 120m from the LZ.

Good thing is Pequod came in from the other way so they didn't notice.

But then he flew right over them.

Luckily, the screen faded to black before we took any hits, but my heart jumped up into my throat.

user15026

11:14 PM

@Unionhawk what happened? :)

@AshleyNunn BLANKET STATEMENT

@fredley Last Week Tonight seems out of place. It's good, but it doesn't seem like it should belong

The list also leans towards more contemporary shows

user15026

I suspect that has to do with how they sampled.

Well it's obviously a terrible list

Actually, I just noticed two more talk shows

It's so weird. I mean, in that case you might as well stick Mythbusters or Planet Earth on it

11:25 PM

@AshleyNunn "(This ghost keeps saying 'z' out loud repeatedly pretending to sleep)"

if you go nuts at that I can't wait until you get deeper in the game

user15026

@badp I loved that bit

user15026

I am finding Papyrus and Sans very entertaining

@AshleyNunn that's horrifying

@AshleyNunn and you've seen, like, two screens of them?

@PrivatePansy what? they're the best family.

user15026

@badp More than that.

11:28 PM

On a completely unrelated note, we're reading this for next week's Science Fiction and philosophy

It's $3 on Kindle, which is pretty great

You know it's gonna be good when a game's on the Steam frontpage without high-res enough game title art for the Steam frontpage

@Unionhawk duuuuuh

you haven't seen jack shit yet

like I'm literally struggling to think of something so great that early on that might get you to that conclusion

Tim Stone

That would have been questionable content for Gearbox to include in Borderlands, admittedly.
