3:00 PM
one of my friends didn't know what the grave key was
the ` key
wo__r__d
hmmph
wo\ r \d
hmmph
 
@Dog what do you think will get it done? 4K on both eyes with Pascal+1 Ti card?
 
@varfirstName There is probably some hackery involving zero width spaces but I can't be bothered figuring it out.
 
1180 Ti or whatever?
 
​​​
HAHA!
wo​---r---​d
god damn.
 
(worth mentioning that the next arch will definitely be 16 or 14nm so there won't be an appreciable die shrink benefit and it'll also be FinFET like this generation; so, it'll be entirely based on whatever arch improvements they can cook up)
 
Dog
3:02 PM
@allquicatic Holodeck!
 
wo​​---r---​​​​d
 
Dog
TBH yes, resolution is my biggest complaint atm, along with secondarily, black levels
 
Whyt. Insert USB2 pendrive with win7 in a Z170 board. Boot, get coffee.
Come back and it is at the windows 7 login screen
I guess at some point in the past I added USB3 drivers to the stick
 
pendrive?
 
3:05 PM
flash drive, thumb drive, storage dongle
 
That reminds me, I still need to put such a device in an old broken USB mouse.
Hmm, or not. No in put is accepted from USB devices (e.g. keyboard)
Time to head to the storage room and get a second PS2 keyboard
 
I remember two men at a conference who were fired for unintentionally offending a woman by having a conversation about USB dongles
*convention / conference
 
Dog
Granted I don't know much graphics power will be needed but eh, I'm not adverse to two or more graphics cards. And as for arch improvements, we just have to look at Kepler vs. Maxwell 2...
 
Insert male dongle into female slot conversation?
 
Bob
@Dog Yoga w/ OLED released?
 
3:08 PM
No
 
@varfirstName that was a bit messed up
 
Dog
@Bob A while ago, yes, but we were talking VR headsets
 
@Dog or smarter lossyness
 
Bob
@Dog oh.
Gear VR? :P OLED display
resolution sucks though
 
yeah, bob and I were running around picking up glowy blue crap ;p
 
Dog
3:09 PM
@JourneymanGeek That too
 
What, the fact that they were fired for joking with eachother, while a hypersensitive woman overheard them and announced that she was outraged? or the fact that they were having a conversation about dongles?
 
Dog
@Bob The Oculus has an OLED display but the black level is clamped to 16 or something because of some silly technical limitation with black-grey transitions
 
Bob
@Dog O_O
 
@varfirstName pretty much and/or she basically just wanted to be an arse and it backfired
@Dog and 4k phone displays, which would lower the costs somewhat
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek while killing phone battery life
 
3:10 PM
the flagships now are mostly 1440p no?
 
@JourneymanGeek which one, the former or latter?
 
Bob
IMO not much point in phones > 1080p
And I say this having owned two phones with higher res, and a GVR
 
@varfirstName no one really knows except here
@Bob was more thinking trickle down effects
 
@JourneymanGeek Which part was messed up?
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek eh, unlikely to happen
 
3:11 PM
@varfirstName the whole situation
 
Dog
@JourneymanGeek I'm not so sure. 4K phone displays have been around for a year or two and never really took off, also VR headsets have branched off to mostly using custom, proprietary panels now instead of phone-screen derived panels
 
@Dog most of the current VR headsets are still mostly bespokeish
 
Bob
also, different goals
 
The guys weren't being misogynistic or anything
 
Bob
with VR you want to maximise pixel size too
w/ less space between pixels
 
3:12 PM
@varfirstName this is precisely why if something offends, its nice to let people know politely
"duuuude, uncooooool" works
 
Or just get over it, like a normal human being
 
eh, there needs to be balance
 
Dog
I am a misogynist. I hate women because competition, also mommy issues.
 
That's total misogyny, @Dog. Have a milkbone.
 
I'm a dog. I don't hate anyone. Except cats, sometimes.
 
3:14 PM
Oh wait, that's speciest.
 
@JourneymanGeek *hiss*
 
and tbh, what someone's gender is shouldn't matter here outside pronouns
 
Shit, I need to join one of these factions
 
or orientation for that matter
 
Should I join the doggos or the catters

That was me (top left cat) and HackToHell (bottom left cat) vs. JourneymanGeek (top right dog) and Bob (bottom right fox - hey, foxes are canids too!)
 
and I know for a fact there's folks in the alphabet soup spectrum (LGBT etc) here on the network so..
 
HOW FUCKING OLD IS THAT?!
 
Bob
@allquicatic you need to update that; I decided to shave
 
@Bob: I've got to say, you're quite foxy in that picture...
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Apparently it's "LGBTQIAP+" now. No, I don't know what half of those are.
 
3:17 PM
@allquicatic can I be ref?
 
@jokerdino no, you're Shao Khan. You just eat anyone who breaks the rules.
 
@Bob or "alphabet soup"
 
Dog
I nearly killed a fox yesterday
 
@allquicatic that's filling
 
Dog
It ran in front of my motorbike as I was speeding home
 
3:18 PM
I think Q is queer, A is asex.
I don't have a clue what the I and P are
 
Bob
@Dog 😢
 
pan-?
 
@Bob "Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual"
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek inter and pan apaprently
 
when I think of pansexual I think of pan pan pan on the emergency and ATC freqs in aviation
 
Dog
3:19 PM
Like Gays But Totally Quantifiable International Android Phoneys
 
@Dog did it stop with the "fox in the headlights" stare?
 
I think of being sexually affiliated with pans
Literal pans.
 
ahh, pansexuals.
 
Bob
@Dog 😧😟
 
"AAAA I'M GOING TO BE RUN OVER BY A SPEEDING BARKING CAT (NAMED Dog) O___O"
 
3:19 PM
What does pansexuality mean?
 
Dog
@allquicatic Woof.
 
@varfirstName google it
 
Dog
Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is the sexual attraction, romantic love, or emotional attraction toward people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others. Pansexuality may be considered a sexual orientation in its own right or a branch of bisexuality, to indicate an alternative sexual identity. Because pansexual people are open to relationships with people who do not identify as strictly men or women, and pansexuality...
 
Bob
*floofs away*
 
Okay, I need help
 
3:20 PM
I guess I'm part of the LGBTQIAP+ community
 
@Bob you don't have enough floof for that
 
I'm asexual
 
How do you get percentages to work in excel?
 
Set the data type to Percent
 
Clicking on the percent button does nothing if I have a fraction in the cell
 
3:21 PM
@Rahul2001 do Format Cells and set it to Percentage; then if you enter "12" it'll format as 12% and if you enter "0.12" it'll do the same
 
Dog
I'm catsexual
I like cats
 
Convert fraction to decimal, decimal to %
 
if you put in a fraction you have to use a formula for proper division
`=1/6" will work; "1/6" won't
 
@allquicatic I tend to consider asexuals"culturally" somewhat different. And amusingly they had the most nuanced way of describing interactions with people.
 
Excel doesn't recognize fractions by themselves as a numeric primitive unless you tell it to perform division as a formula
 
3:22 PM
=QUOTIENT(A:1;A:2)
 
Bob
@allquicatic what if you want 0.12%
0.0012?
 
@Bob yep :)
 
I think back when I was bouncing around wierd internet folk, they seemed nice ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek am I nice? :P
 
3:23 PM
yeah ;p
 
no, cat.
 
I've been around a few somewhat toxic communities.
 
We all hate you because you didn't upvote my pun
 
some of which kinda got worse ;p
 
Dog
i AM weird internet folk
 
3:23 PM
We just secretly conceal it
CONCEAL DONT FEEL, DONT LET THEM KNOW
 
I'm not even strictly-speaking asexual I guess. I'm in some weird gray area. Maybe agnostisexual
 
LET IT- *ban*
 
yawn
 
@allquicatic that's the beauty of how they decribe it.
 
Dog
Agnostisexual... lol
 
3:24 PM
Meaning, if I had the opportunity I'd probably enjoy the company of a woman, but it's so untenable as to be a practical impossibility
 
@allquicatic Thanks!
 
I like to look at them though ;p
 
@allquicatic Unaffiliated sexually
 
@allquicatic or sexually unaffiliated
SU
 
3:25 PM
lol
 
Agnostisexual - you're welcome; I've just invented a new term for the community
 
I'm kinda in that situation but I don't consider myself asexual at this point ;p
 
@varfirstName I'm definitely SU
I'm also Radically Agnostisexual - RA
 
@allquicatic it would be agnosexual
 
3:25 PM
SU/RA
I guess
 
or maybe I'm musicosexual
 
Is this all canon nowadays?
 
I literally s/sex/music/ and am relatively satisfied by such
 
Am I the object of some NSFW fanfic written by God?
 
3:27 PM
@varfirstName only if its pachelbel's
@varfirstName no
 
@varfirstName no; you are an [object] though, Mr. var ;-)
hohoho I'm so funny
 
oh fuckin shit.
 
Bob
@varfirstName only if you consider your life NSFW
 
Now I've got to star that, cat.
 
its probably one of those fanfics where the writer spends 20 pages describing how the protoganist's mother's cousin's great grand aunt made tea
 
Bob
3:28 PM
which is a rather disturbing thought, actually
 
@JourneymanGeek you mean twilight?
 
Bob
the life part, not the tea part. though that is also a bit weird.
s/twilight/fifty shades of totally not a twilight fanfic renamed/
 
that feeling when your usb duplication is stuck on the last 10mbit, doing 17mbit/sec
 
I think we have transgressed into the "weird part of RA"
it's time to use chat.stackexchange.com
 
@Bob I think you forgot your !!
 
3:28 PM
https emphasized
 
Bob
@varfirstName whoops, seems like my 11 key is broken
oh well
 
@varfirstName he does that on purpose; he doesn't like the bot actually doing the s
 
Bob
@allquicatic way ahead of you there
 
here
copypasta my !!
!!
 
@varfirstName That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.
 
Bob
3:29 PM
@allquicatic I do it with bot if I actually want to correct; without bot if I'm trying to make a joke
don't really like the bot doing an @Bob on the jokes
 
After hours of desperate fumbling and groping, she finally arched her back and let out a loud, sharp squeal. At last I'd found the TV remote
 
@allquicatic CSS?
 
yeah, let's totally nuke all mention of that particular CSS
expediently if possible
 
too late, starred
 
ah, what the hell, keep it
The Central Security Service (CSS) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense, which was established in 1972 to integrate the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Service Cryptologic Elements (SCE) of the United States Armed Forces in the field of signals intelligence, cryptology and information assurance at the tactical level. In 2002, the CSS had about 25,000 uniformed members. == History == After World War II had ended, the United States had two military organizations for the collection of signals intelligence (SIGINT): the Army Security Agency (ASA) and the Naval Communications...
 
3:31 PM
@allquicatic >_>
NOOOOW you tell me
 
it's ok if you want to nuke it as a mod (I'm fine with that) but it at least exists on wiki
 
Bob
@allquicatic I just tunnel over an SSH session over proxytunnel
VPN too messy
 
Browsing ASOS as you do. I've been shopping for 22 years and my mind is honestly blown https://t.co/jxjfytp1F1
 
I was half kidding, half joking, since most people who know about the NSA have no clue about the CSS
 
wait wait wait wait wait
WHAT ABOUT MY ILLICIT PORN?
*I DONT ACTUALLY OWN ANY, CSS/NSA EMPLOYEE
 
3:32 PM
@allquicatic oh, more for keeping your privacy private
 
Bob
private privacy sounds important
or maybe redundant
 
user image
3
 
Bob
redundant things are important
 
@JourneymanGeek it's appreciated; however, I have a very good sense of the fact that it's already been stored for eternity
 
@Hennes get that in a shirt.
Size Medium
And send it to me.
 
3:33 PM
Yannow you guys keep telling shit like this and you probably added everyone here on a list
 
;p
I'm probably on a list.
4
 
@HackToHell ikr? my illicit porn is f**ked
 
@HackToHell too late
 
However, I'm probably on santa's good boy nice list
 
you're all already on a list by affiliation with me.
 
3:34 PM
*Once again, I do not own any illicit porn, Mr. NSA/CSS employee.
 
if you want to get off the list you have to break all contact with me for X years
 
@varfirstName no one cares.
 
yeah secret security person @allquicatic
 
@JourneymanGeek !!thereisaxkcdforthat
@allquicatic Instuctions unclear, broke @allquicatic's contact lenses.
 
you're allquicatic already on a list by affiliation with me.
 
3:35 PM
@varfirstName this @allquicatic writes 0days for NSA
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy the funny part is that there's much less truth to that than people seem to think, but I feed the rumor mill for the laughs
 
woooooooooooooooo everyone has gone home
time to load up youtube \o/
 
@JourneymanGeek rofl I love that one
 
No? no stars on my pun?
 
3:35 PM
@djsmiley2k you only wait until after people go home to load up youtube? pussy.
 
@allquicatic ...much less truth to what?
 
I've been on youtube since I walked in the door
 
The first law of star fishing is there's no t in fishing.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy oh, nothing O:)
 
@allquicatic yeah shameful
at other jobs I may of played df all day and watched youtube vids
 
3:36 PM
The second law of star fishing is you never ask for stars.
2
 
@allquicatic What? No waaaay you'll get me curious and then "oh, nothing"
 
because I'd turned around their IT from not working, to fully functional and couldn't be bothered some times :d
Stars please :~)
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy well, you picked the wrong country to live in to have even a star's chance in hell of knowing more
and even then, only in-person
 
@JourneymanGeek what the fuck did you mean by- ohhhhhhhhhh.. you need to get your mind outta the gutter >.>
 
The third law of star fishing is not being a toilet. Or not knowing why you are one.
 
3:38 PM
WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT TO POOR LITTLE LUMA, GOD WHY?!
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy or not knowing why you're a toilet. that, too
 
Bob
@Dog Any idea if moto devices (Moto G4) show which bands they're connected to?
 
The fourth law of star fishing is wanting to punch something.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy We will neither confirm nor deny that @allquicatic once took out an entire building full of terrorists with keyboard and a bag of chips.
 
Dog
@Bob Nope (no idea that is)
 
3:38 PM
That was just because they cut the cables
 
Bob
@Dog ah, damn
 
Dog
But once you figure out the raw modem commands, you can get the data off any device! Mwahaha!
I'm pretty sure I have Qualcomm modem interface reference document bookmarked somewhere
 
@allquicatic playing SR with bob is fun ;p
 
The fifth law of star fishing is using chmod incorrectly.
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek GIMME STARS
oh, wait, I mean STARS PLS
5
 
3:39 PM
The sixth law of star fishing is: ahhh...
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy One the other hand paw, saying your are a toilet will get you starred.
 
turns @Bob into a toilet
 
@JourneymanGeek so now, if I don't show up in 2 days, remember not to lose the pubkey you're supposed to use to SSH into that server over there through Tor and use the knock port to access the non-standard SSH port and execute that script to release all my dirty laundry stuff to the public... J/K I'm not E. Snowfall despite looking like a fat version of him
 
Bob
dammit, the one time the star req doesn't work :P
@Dog 'cept the S7 doesn't seem to have a modem device node :\
 
Dog
3:40 PM
@Bob It probably does, just under a funny name because Samsung
Also the service mode RIL...
 
Bob
@Dog didn't see anything obvious under /dev
 
Dog
I'm yet to understand that but the RIL is the key to all of this!
 
@JourneymanGeek only two players, though, right?
 
Bob
also they were all prefixed witht hte boot time for some reason
 
I should totally not be here. I stupidly agreed to write blog posts for the upcoming WordCamp and now the want me to write a post per day, including one to be released in 80 min, and I wrote only a single paragraph >_<
/me gone
 
3:41 PM
@allquicatic alas
and co op is occationally buggy
 
holy cow, he actually left to do work O_O
that's one dedicated employee/slave/monkey/volunteer/whatever... hope he's going to make his deadline
 
Bob
@allquicatic ok, now we might really be on a list. thanks :P
 
and half the fun is cause bob doesn't actually remember a lot of the game, so gets horrified/giggling when the really weird shit happens
 
@Bob except that it's a total red herring. there's no substance behind it. yet it'll probably get my server bugged without me knowing >_<
 
Dog
Also really need to write that mobile mapping app I've been meaning to do for years
 
3:42 PM
!! s/wie/wei (except after C)/
...shit
 
Bob
lol
 
@Bob don't worry, as long as we don't say Edward Snowden, everything is gonna be fine...
 
and I still think SR3 is the nuttiest of the lot
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek you have the advantage of having replayed it recently :P
 
@Bob true
 
Bob
3:43 PM
don't think I've ever noticed that TV with the nurse before though
 
weird, Cavil didn't finish my edited s
 
neither did I ;p
 
Bob
the nurse with the spiky plank
 
wait..
SHIT I JUST SAID IT
 
tho I've seen that spiky paddle as a weapon in GOH
 
Bob
3:44 PM
and you just had to go confirm it was spiked :P
 
@varfirstName that was totally intentional and therefore of minimal humor.
 
FOR SCIENCE!
 
Bob
s/paddle/plank/ let's keep it PG in here :P
 
is a paddle non-PG? really? just the implement?
 
Bob
well, as PG as SR can be
which is not very
 
3:45 PM
SR's kinda "20 year old brochild" level maturity at best
 
SR? Nvm
 
I'm curious about agents of mayhem but no co-op there :(
 
Bob
:\
@allquicatic welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
 
@varfirstName @Bob and I have been ploughing through the PC saints row games that are actually playable
(SE2 dosen't count)
 
we need to find moar games we can play
 
3:46 PM
....
 
either that, or try a harder run through Star Wars: Interregnum
 
Bob
@allquicatic that sounds fun :P
 
!!s/SE2/SR2/
 
@allquicatic I actually enjoy payday ;p
 
Bob
I do vote random map though
 
3:46 PM
@varfirstName (SR2 dosen't count) (source)
 
maybe we can play as all TEC against a huge battalion of multiple hard/insane Empire AIs
 
Bob
it's fun discovering things on random
@allquicatic Advent! :P
 
ready to watch your half-upgraded Argonev starbases get decimated by Executor-class ISDs?
 
Bob
though TEC does turtle reasonably well
 
granted, its prolly got I have a scope and a layzor.
 
Bob
3:47 PM
until you get strike craft attacking, where TEC crumbles
 
200 Gardas
 
Bob
@allquicatic which also die :(
 
what do the Gardas say again?
when they spawn
 
yey gaming talk
 
Bob
"I heard you have a fighter problem"
 
3:47 PM
tho I'm unsure of the game
 
LOL
YES
 
Bob
'cept gardas don't actually help much with it :(
the corellian gunships are far more effective
 
Star Wars: Interregnum iirc
 
I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem! I heard you have a fighter problem!
...then we'll help with it a little until we get blown up
 
if only they sang in harmony..
 
3:48 PM
!!s/I heard you have a fighter problem!/spam/
 
@varfirstName That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.
 
!!s/I heard you have a fighter problem!/spam/
 
"We heard you have a fiiiiighhhttterrrr prrooooblllleeeeeeeemmmmm"
 
@varfirstName !!s/spam/spam/ (source)
Server error (status 500) occured (message probably too long)
 
3:49 PM
I wonder... what if you spammed TEC carrier cruisers with all fighters, would that be okay for anti-fighters?
 
Bob
@allquicatic maybe?
percherons are aright-ish
but tec strike craft are noticeably weak
X-Wings and TIEs will probably tear them to shreds
 
TIE Defenders are lethal against most fighters and also good against cruisers and capital ships
but they're late-game. I wonder if TEC gets a new late-game superiority fighter in Interregnum
 
Bob
yea, given the choice of Sins factions, I'd go Advent :P
it fits my playstyle more too
 
You must construct additional pylons. You must construct additional pylons. You must construct additional pylons. You must construct additional pylons. You must construct additional pylons. You must construct additional pylons. You must construct additional pylons.
 
you need like 7 Military research structures and several research prerequisites just to build defenders
and not every fighter-carrying ship can build defenders
 
3:51 PM
lol
 
oh, also, Golan defense platforms and several types of ISD get Quad Cannon upgrades to allow them to act as anti-strike fighter. so Imperials are good at fighter denial
 
@varfirstName you must construct additional cylons.
 
@Hennes False! 50% of the human DNA is already from cylons
 
You must breed additional Pylons?
 
Is this all canon?
 
Bob
3:52 PM
@allquicatic makes sense, what with Rebels being based around strike craft
 
@varfirstName Star Wars: Interregnum is neither a canon Star Wars nor canon Sins of a Solar Empire mod; but it's a total conversion merging the two universes
 
Can someone please help me with this excel formula?
I'm new to this and cannot figure this out
 
@Rahul2001 =NO1
 
lol
 
@Rahul2001 what's up?
 
3:53 PM
All the cells have a numeric value in them
Let's assume x
 
continue..
 
and I have a value y
 
Bob
 
@Bob tired? aggressive?
going to the fox dentist?
 
Yawning
 
3:54 PM
is there a way to convert all the cells to show x (x/y*100)
 
Bob
 
Probably just woke up
 
Bob
 
@Rahul2001 is that x times (x/y*100)?
 
@Rahul2001 =x*((x/y)/100)
 
3:55 PM
No, x and then that value
y=.85
 
use string concatenation.
use a new column.
 
the string 'x'?
 
I have no idea what that is :(
@varfirstName The value already in the cell
 
Bob
@allquicatic 😴
 
lmgtfy.com/?q=concat+string+excel
FUCK
 
3:56 PM
@Rahul2001 h/o, I'll do it in google docs
 
waitwaitwaitwaitwait
 
concat($A$1:$A$2)
 
I figured an alternative method out...
Thanks, guys...
 
3:59 PM
that's easy
 
or something
 
@allquicatic Ah, thanks!
 
Oh how weird
