3:00 PM
namely, engines to full
 
Hah. No excuses? Psh.
 
@kalina IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY?
 
@OrigamiRobot not when I'm playing games no
its either that or I aim for a planet
 
ME NEITHER
 
I like explosions
 
3:01 PM
I USE AS MANY ROCKETS AS I CAN AND ALWAYS FULL SPEED
I HAD A ROCKET WITH 24 BOOSTERS IN ITS FIRST STAGE AND 24 IN ITS SECOND STAGE.
 
reading line after line of caps makes me feel agitated
like somebody is shouting at me
 
YOU CAN USE APOSTROPHES WHILE ALL CAPSING
also the shift key is there for your convenience
 
somebody is shouting at you
 
what are you going to use your pinky for anyway?
 
@badp But he hasn't needed one yet.
 
3:04 PM
@badp YOU WANT ME TO HOLD THE SHIFT KEY DOWN FOR 99% OF MY SENTENCE?
 
@badp we don't want to know the answer to that
 
Your solution is to have 48 boosters in the first stage, skip the second stage
 
@OrigamiRobot think of it as pinky bodybuilding
pump that pinky
 
And keep attempting launch until it doesn't blow up.
 
@badp NOPE
 
3:04 PM
Last time I played KSP I didn't even bother with an exit trajectory - I just went straight up with enough power to leave the atmosphere
 
@OrigamiRobot your pinky so weak, you need caps lock to begin with
 
@kalina I played with the intent of getting into solar orbit. Turns out, that's easier than I thought it would be...
As in, I was able to pull it off...
 
your pinky so weak, it can't hold to the glass when you drink and just kind of hangs in midair
 
me buying a game is usually the point where I get bored of it
I don't know why
I played the Torchlight 2 demo for hours and hours
bought it, haven't played it since
I played Guild Wars 2 for weeks
upgraded to digital deluxe
haven't logged in since
played the KSP demo for weeks, bought it, haven't played it for more than an hour since
 
sounds like shopping for shoes. You just need to shop, you don't need the shoes
 
3:07 PM
I don't shop for shoes
 
INB4 GENDER RAGE
 
@kalina Point stands
 
FIGURE OF SPEECH MOVE ON
 
urgh shopping.
btw why are some people's nicks blue?
 
3:08 PM
@djsmiley2k mods
 
@djsmiley2k Because they are terribly incompetent.
 
we have a lot of mods
 
/me hides.
 
ranging in quality
at one end of the spectrum we have Grace Note, who is the best mod
and at the other end we have badp
who is the worst mod
 
Who also happen to be moderators. These two facts are in no way correlated
 
3:09 PM
protip: Grace Note is actually not a mod
 
and then we have all of those in between
 
fact: best mods aren't mods
 
@Unionhawk Solar orbit is the consolation prize.
 
@badp and yet she's still a better mod than you
!
 
conclusion: I am moddest person in history of world!
 
3:10 PM
It's what you get when you're not skilled enough to properly orbit yourself.
 
how do you become a mod?
 
@fbueckert It's literally fly straight up achieve solar orbit - given enough power to leave
 
haha cool - also 3 stars for I found a sausage.... really guys? XD
 
@djsmiley2k By declaring your incompetency as openly as possible. These events are also known as elections.
 
3:11 PM
they call them elections, but what really happens is the existing mods choose two new people and then fix the results so they get elected
 
@Unionhawk Exactly.
It take more skill to orbit the planet than it does to orbit the sun.
 
@djsmiley2k most people in here are perverts, the rest of them have a meat fetish
2
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone HAH, I HAVE DEMONSTRATED IMCOPETENCY MANY TIMES
 
@djsmiley2k just don't talk about bacon, you've never seen such a scary series of events transpire
 
Ladies and gentlemen, we have our test case for

Q: Bukkit plugin with realistic shop/economy features?

DJTripleThreatI would like to add a shop plugin that lets players (idealy) purchase a shop or npc that acts as a shop that they can stock with items that they've produce (i.e. the items don't come from out of thin air) and any money that they make from this shop/npc goes to their balance. I do not want this to...

 
3:12 PM
@OrigamiRobot YOU'RE NOT INCOMPETENT ENOUGH
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone why are you screaming?!
 
@badp SEEMS LIKE THE IN THING TO DO ATM
 
@badp Because the robot has a hearing deficiency
 
@fbueckert blech
 
EVERYBODY IS DOING IT
 
3:14 PM
@kalina Mods don't have the power to fix elections
 
At least that's what I assumed when it shouted at me
 
@MadScientist I SUSPECT YOU MISSED THE PART WHERE I WAS JOKING
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone @OrigamiRobot has only two pinkies and they are mangled :(
 
@badp Yeah, ditto. We're divided on mod recs in general, so let's use this as a test case to see if it's viable.
 
@fbueckert VTC
 
3:15 PM
@kalina That's also a valid response.
 
@badp Oh dear Giants that's terrible :(
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'M JUST USING AUTOCAD :(
 
@fbueckert LET'S SEE IF WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE END OF THIS DAY WITHOUT DISAGREEING, OK?
 
@kalina NO
 
@kalina For what reason would I agree to that?
 
3:16 PM
I disagree
 
@kalina what timezone?
 
@fbueckert THE REASON
@badp IRRELEVANT, I WILL SLEEP BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY IN MY TIMEZONE
 
I suggest picking one where the "day" ends in 43 minutes from now
There might even be one where the "day" ends in 13
 
@badp I'M NOT GNOMESLICE, I DON'T NEED AN EASY CHALLENGE
 
@kalina Alright, whatever.
 
3:17 PM
3 or
or 1, etc
 
I present my most horrifying personality aspect: apathy.
 
@badp That's my Timezone!
 
@fbueckert COOL, I SHALL NOW SUBVERT SAID AGREEMENT BY SIMPLY AGREEING WITH WHATEVER OPINION YOU HOLD ON MOD-RECS
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Ugh, okay, that's no good
 
Of course my timezone is best timezone
 
3:19 PM
 
who the hell would use conditioner first?!
 
End world hunger: eat the poor
 
@agent86 #1 chosen. I'll be back on Tuesday.
 
I'd like to be a Pastafarian for a day
 
3:20 PM
Switch religions for the day... seems easy enough to go from not believing to believing
Earn @fbueckert's trust and then vanquish him... hmmmm
seems difficult
especially since he's now a master of Kung-Fu
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I have the Pastafarian holy book at home
 
hmm, now I have to cozy up to @wipqozn without him knowing about this.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone stop procrastinating
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Worst. Disguise. Ever.
 
3:26 PM
@kalina You're not... oh never mind
 
I need steal your twilight picture and make a desktop wallpaper out of it
Procrastination is like the #1 thing I do
OH NO, THE FIRST SNOWFLAKE HAS JUST HIT THE GROUND
QUICKLY, EVERYBODY IN ENGLAND START PANICKING
 
it's been snowing all day kalina.
(in brum at least).
 
@kalina HOLY CRAP A SNOWFLAKE, TAKE PICTURES AND SEND TO BBC IMMEDIATELY
 
@djsmiley2k I was being ironic
the office I normally work in just got sent home because half an inch of snow fell
not a joke...
I am currently in London
it takes a lot of snow to get through the smog
 
3:32 PM
@fredley -.-
good job this isn't math, you'd get 500000000 flags for that
 
@kalina We have low standards on The Bridge
 
@fredley we have 'standards' on the bridge?
3
 
@kalina Yes, of course. Terrible ones.
 
@kalina Yes. We banned Gnome.
 
@fredley today I learned that the bridge does have some standards
 
3:33 PM
@kalina All we know about our standards is that the bar is too high for Gnome
 
@fbueckert did we actually ban Gnome? I thought that was fallout from another channel that ended up with him banned
 
@kalina Not very many. But some.
 
@kalina It was not one event.
 
I bet one of these new users that has recently appeared is actually GnomeSlice
 
@kalina We would know by now.
 
3:35 PM
I suppose he would have spoken at least once
 
kalina we got sent home a few weeks ago
that was nice, but rare :(
 
@djsmiley2k We get six inches of snow, shrug, and keep going.
 
Woo! Another gold badge! =3
 
@Fluttershy gz
 
@Fluttershy Which?
 
3:36 PM
@fredley Famous question.
 
@fbueckert yeah, funniest bit is how I'm one of the futhrest away, two trains and a long walk to get here, yet I made it in that day when people 10 minutes down the road didn't ?!
 
@kalina or posted a link
 
@kalina Thanks.
 
@Fluttershy Eh, doesn't count. Everyone gets famous question in the end, you just have to hang around long enough.
 
@fredley famous question doesn't require you to hang around at all
 
3:36 PM
By the heat death of the universe, we'll all have Famous Question on all our questions.
 
the only requirement in fact is that you ask a question
 
@Fluttershy I have famous question - and it's a far outdated question now...
But, either way, it looks cool :3
 
I have a dupe that's earned Famous Question.
 
I found a bug! A really tiny annoying one!
 
@fbueckert My famous question regarding the Buildcraft of last year to this day gets upvotes occasionally...
 
3:40 PM
@Unionhawk I love driveby upvotes like that.
More rep for old work.
 
Which is sad, because the question doesn't even apply anymore, unless you're one of those people still using <s>Tekkit</s> The-modpack-that-will-probably-never-update-again 1.2.5

Q: Date display bug

fredleyI found a bug. Can you see it? If you're having trouble, I'll highlight it for you: May 26th of what year??? This is important!

@Unionhawk Hi
 
@fredley Just, imagine it actually worked, and I know how to format.
 
@Unionhawk For future reference: ---I hope this works---
 
I haz 13 Famous Questions. But I'm only proud of like 3 of them.
 
3:46 PM
Famous Qustion badges are rather easy to earn here, I've more than 40 now.
 
@fredley Hmm...it's bydesign for that conversion function, but I suppose that conversion function shouldn't be used there (you should probably be a bit more explicit about where that happens, by the way).
 
Yeah. By contrast, tag badges are very hard to get. Nobody has a gold badge in any tag.
 
@TimStone I'll update the meta
 
pretty much all of my famous questions are for WoW
 
I should try to write 16 more answers somehow to get a silver badge for that game. I have all the upvotes.
 
3:48 PM
@kalina browse.deviantart.com/art/… should do. Not exactly the same, but you can look in chat history if you need that one
 
@TimStone I thought it might be to do with keeping the length of that string under a certain number of chars, but it happens on other questions where that's clearly not the case.
 
@fredley There's a cutoff in the middle of May.
Where it either adds or doesn't add the year.
It's based on how old the date is.
How they chose some 9 months and change I don't know, though.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ta
if you ever want easy gold badges, just post a bunch of reasonable obvious WoW questions with well worded titles on the day of a WoW expansion release
and before you know it, 150k views
oh, 171k
 
@StrixVaria Should be 330 days, unless it was changed
else if (days <= 330)
{
    return dt.ToString("MMM %d 'at' %H:mmm").ToLowerInvariant();
}
 
@TimStone That is completely arbitrary.
So it functions as designed but the design is just stupid.
 
3:56 PM
11 months, where a month is 30 days

@TimStone Long live Presto! sheds a tear
