reinstalling is always cheating
 
How about the Windows 8 reset button?
 
17 hours ago, by tombull89
Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Beta test this weekend. https://www.jc-mp.com/times/ for times. You'll need a legal copy of JC2 in your Steam library to take part.
Got a couple of friends interested as well, should be fun.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I will tell you the first time I use it, I have no faith in that stuff actually working though to be fair
but it is technically reinstalling, so also cheating
 
Come on guys, I need dinner advice!
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone salad
 
10:07 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone pizza
 
Pizza!
 
@kalina The only place nearby that sells salad is Subway
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's not really salad
if you have a subway near by though get subway
 
@kalina Exactly
@kalina Expensive, and the result is meh
 
because subway is awesome
 
10:08 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone pizza
 
@badp Hmmmm, for one person?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone sure, you can eat a pizza by yourself
 
It's nice, but I think any single serving pizza I can find around here would be waaaay outside my budget
 
that's why they come in different sizes
 
I'll have a look around
 
10:10 AM
failing that, you could do subway but without going to subway by purchasing a variety of foods and making a sandwich
 
Second that, there's nothing like getting a fresh crispy white bread roll and stuffing it with ham and proper cheese. Costs less than a subway too.
 
how would you flag this answer that seems to be ignoring the ?

A: How can I check my ping in Battlefield 3?

user31549If you need to ping battlefield 3 server while playing game try Whoisxy.com Here you can ping your server by submitting corresponding domain name or ip address.

 
@Blem Flag with custom, explain
And downvote, of course
 
@Blem considering that website doesn't ping from your local machine, it therefore doesn't answer the question "how can I check my ping" and should be flagged as NAA
 
@kalina Well technically it is still an answer, though wrong in many ways, so would NAA not be a wrong flag?
 
10:21 AM
@Blem I would argue that if I post that same "answer" on any question relating to "ping", would it still be an "answer"?
I have already flagged it as NAA and put a delete vote on it
in other news, I can now flag 50 times a day
(!)
 
in my list of flags i got this one:
[Can I copy the StarCraft 2 DVD to install the game?](http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/109478/can-i-copy-the-starcraft-2-dvd-to-install-the-game-is-there-any-disc-protection/109546)
I flagged it: not an answer – Mar 18 at 21:14 declined - flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer
 
> You see, Yahoo was concerned that people might swear on the Internet, so they provided a list of words that the client should filter. But this list might need to be updated dynamically, in case someone on the Internet managed to think up a new word for sex. So rather than build the list into the client, they sent it to you from the server. Right in the first packet. In alphabetical order. Login successful, bitch.
 
@Blem this happens, note that the answer was deleted anyway
I have ~10-15 declines where the intended action was still taken, I don't pay too much attention to them
 
well some guideline for NAA should be made more clear then
 
10:26 AM
@Blem if you're worried, use a custom message
 
Wow, the Spotify audio ads are... really annoying
 
I agree though, "not an answer" to me means "this doesn't answer the question being asked"
I wouldn't use NAA for something that tries to answer the question and gets it wrong
but I would use NAA for something that answers a different question
 
@kalina wouldn't have helped me in the flag i talked about since it was declined with "flags should not be used to indicate an altogether wrong answer"
 
@Blem I have had this same discussion before and still stick with "it doesn't answer the question being asked and therefore it is Not An Answer"

Q: How would you maximize Kassadin's laning phase before he hits level 6

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzHow would you do well in the laning fase when playing Kassadin before he becomes level 6? We all know that Kassadin is one of the strongest and most flexible champions after he hits level 6, but it's definitely a pain trying to get creepkills in earlier levels. Would you generally use your Q to l...

Q: How do I go through a door opening?

BlemSometimes I have a bit of trouble going through door openings. My problem is the lasers: I know some Warframes have abilities that let you pass through them and you can slide through them but that dose not always work. What do I need to do to make sure I always succeed when trying to slide th...

 
10:30 AM
@kalina we agree on that but some mods clear dose not agree where others do, so I guess a meta post or a bump of an old meta post might be needed (this must have come up before)
 
My dinner budget is... wow, pathetically small
Pizza's probably out of the question, unfortunately
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone if you come by my place ill order pizza
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone as long as it's just your dinner budget that's small!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone clearly salad is the answer

Q: Flagging "answers" that answer a completely different question

Nick TI flagged this answer (10k only) about Minecraft on a question about Minicraft (I think I explicitly mentioned this in the type-in field, as well as in a comment on the post) and it was declined with the reason flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wron...

 
Free Pizza      $15
Air ticket   -$1000
===================
Balance       -$985
I think I'll pass
 
10:33 AM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I will also pay for a beverage of your choice from the local supermarket
 
@Blem Hmmm, unless your local supermarket sells liquid gold I think I'll still pass
 
:)
I don't think they do
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Why the hell can no one make a decent spam bot?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone you should put your considerable boredom to use by creating a spam bot that passes as human on the internet
 
10:37 AM
xkcd Constructive, huh?
 
yes
doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be close
 
So, now I'm free.
 
I think I'd need to be more than a little bored to start trying to break the Turing Test
 
@FEichinger I didn't realise that you were that cheap
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone If you're looking at a question with this much crap, your first instinct should be to protect
 
10:38 AM
@kalina Says you, out of all people.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone it doesn't have to, it won't have to do real time communication
@FEichinger I am the single most expensive individual in the world
 
@fredley I don't have 15k rep here
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm looking at you @kalina
 
@fredley which question?
 
@kalina I doubt it.

And anyway, the ROI on coding such a spambot would probably be much less than, say, taking $20 to the Mechanical Turk and using that for spam
 
@fredley meh
@fredley I am too busy editing SU
 
@kalina Like standing with a small candle in a very large, dark cathedral.
 
@fredley cathedrals are awesome
 
And besides, someone's already done it

@fredley Plenty of those on gemsfromstackexchange.tumblr.com
 
@tombull89 Half of those submits are mine :D
 
> If a question receives 15 downvotes and no upvotes, chances are pretty high that it's a side effect of a paragraph break.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone lol
 
10:57 AM
@tombull89 I like the "Dr. Wicca" one.
 
@MartinSojka made me chuckle, as well. There seems to be a lot of spell questions.
 
wow what the hell, I just picked up the phone and a customer was on the other end
 
I think I remember this

Q: Damage to Minions works on Zac's Blobs?

Panagiotis PalladinosI've heard that you can smite Zac's Blobs as if they were minions. So if that is true, does it mean that lantern passive effect can also proc on them? And what about the extra damage to minions mastery? In general are there any special rules for them or do they just count as minions?

 
CHEESE SALAD BAGUETTE
inb4 covered in cheese
2
 
11:09 AM
@kalina ...
 
@kalina Get a cat. They'll clean the cheese off you really quick.
 
@MartinSojka I can't have a cat at work
fortunately today it's sliced cheese rather than grated cheese
so if any actually falls out it will be a fundamental structural failure in the baguette
 
@kalina Antifelicism!
 
@kalina Or your competence at eating, which I do question sometimes.
 
@fredley I am perfectly competent at eating, I just struggle with eating food that is larger than my mouth when said food contains stuff that can fall out (like grated cheese, or fried tomatos, or beans, etc)
 
11:12 AM
@kalina Solution: widen mouth
 
Hiya
 
@M'vy morning!
 
@kalina so everything that involves widening mouth is analogous?
 
@kalina Tsk, tsk, tsk! A naughty drug addict, you are.
@fredley Yes.
 
11:14 AM
@fredley seriously, my mouth doesn't open wide enough to stuff a baguette into it
@FEichinger why am I a naughty drug addict?
 
@kalina Try less girthy baguettes?
 
@fredley I don't control what size baguettes the sandwich van person uses
 
@kalina Try other types of bread?
 
@fredley plus I have a small mouth
@fredley well, the sandwiches from the sandwich van are the same price as the baguettes for half the food
 
@kalina Make own food?
 
11:16 AM
@fredley this requires effort
 
@kalina Yes, but it's effort in exchange for money (savings)
 
hardly
£2 for a baguette and a drink
 
@kalina That is incredible. It's £4 for a meal deal here :-(
That having been said, you are in the North
 
well I live in a field, everything is cheap around here
 
@kalina Fens are relatively expensive.
 
11:20 AM
that's too east for me
I am more central/westerly
 
@kalina It is quite far East. At least the trains to London are good so escape is relatively painless
 
my journey to london is hilarious
I have to catch a train to Retford
scummy little hole
and then I get on a train to London, which is an ugly train
I much rather go to Nottingham and catch a train from there
but my employer prefers the cheapest route
 
@kalina You should get a new employer
 
no
this employer pays me lots
 
@kalina You can still keep one eye open for better
 
11:24 AM
at the start of the next financial year, my wage should pass 30k/year
which isn't bad for a 20 year old who dropped out of college
 
@kalina Congratulations
 
I know, thanks
they actually want me to move to the London office
but I keep refusing
 
@kalina Not enough fields?
 
too much pollution, too many people, too much background noise, too many sirens, too much crime, too many homeless, too much tube travel, not enough fields
 
I have never been more tired of seeing questions on a game I like.
 
11:26 AM
The only way I'd move to London is if I could live in the kind of comfort I do now (commute ease is a big part of comfort for me), which would be difficult
 
@kalina I feel that way with Paris too.
 
I hate the London tube system, I would never want a job that basically required me to use it on a daily basis
 
@OrigamiRobot which?
 
just breathing in the air down there makes me feel ill
 
@kalina Yes. Cycling in London gives me the willies too.
LUNCH TIME
 
11:27 AM
@M'vy Bioshock Infinite
 
@fredley HAVE FUN!
 
@fredley But I literally just woke up!
 
@fredley Bon appétit
 
oooo lunch
 
I finished eating lunch without any of it ending up on me or the floor
I should get sliced cheese more often tbh
 
11:29 AM
All you need is a sharp knife and cheese.
 
ffs
didn't get the job
/me sadfaces
 
@djsmiley2k :(
 
ah well
their loss.
Mostly :/
 
@StrixVaria I thought this was quite funny
 
11:31 AM
ffs i really wanted that job
gaaaaaaarrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhH!!!!
 
@djsmiley2k the more you think about it the worse it will feel
 
That reminds me I need to find a position too...
 
@kalina indeed.
but i got nothing else to think about
 
@djsmiley2k Despite already being a CTO, I got rejected from the same(ish) job opening three times. It sucks, but I can tell you that dwelling on it doesn't help things. Nor does bitterly shaking your fist. :P
 
hense why i wanted this new job XD
 
11:34 AM
@djsmiley2k find something to take your mind off it then
 
such as?
im boreda t work setting up stupid new desks.
 
@djsmiley2k play games, make music, skive on the internet, I don't know... something
 
@djsmiley2k Ghost'n'Goblins benchmarking!
 
@djsmiley2k make a game out of everything, increases the fun you get out of each task

Q: Will a Wings of Liberty campaign be any different with the Heart of the Swarm extension?

Madara UchihaIf I have the Heart of the Swarm extension pack installed with my StarCraft II, will the Wings of Liberty campaign be affected by it? (I.e. new terran units, new upgrades, etc?) I don't mean for the plot to change (because that would obviously not change), but is there anything different between...

Q: Melee champion attack range?

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzWhich champions (melee) have an auto attack range more than 125? So far I only know that wukong has an AA range of 175

 
12:05 PM
hey I found some old IRC quotes with me in them
 
12:16 PM
@OrigamiRobot It's ok, I'm back now
 
I only just got out of the shower

Q: How to use Dota 2 courier?

skiaboxI am searching the internet for hours but I can't find a step by step guide on how to use the dota 2 courier. All guides begin without showing its usage for a newcomer to the game. Any ideas or links? Thank you.

 
Next I need to brush my teeths.
 
@OrigamiRobot Please continue to update us all on the minutiae of your morning routine
 
Nothing new to report yet.
 
12:20 PM
all of the channels I used to idle in on Quakenet are dead now
oh time, why do you erode all of these memories
 
Booo Quake
 
oh so you don't have me on ignore
 
Oh hey, today stack.imgur.com isn't blocked
 
That @kalina character, always causing trouble.
 
12:28 PM
hey, I'm infamous already
 
That's our @kalina
 
@Lyrion whats you warframe nick?
 
@kalina Did you lose your Q account yet?
 
@badp yeah, I just created a new one
nice to see they finally added /auth into the ircd
 
That autoexpiring policy is really annoying
@kalina That was added with the L to Q transition
 
12:40 PM
@badp I was gone by the time they did that
 
Oh? That was quite a while ago.
 
I left around the time they originally introduced L while Q was being rewritten as newserv
 
Ah. That means we never actually crossed paths there.
 
primarily on account of me getting glined repeatedly because an ircop friend of mine who ran chat.uk had given me access to a variety of hosts that I shouldn't have been using
it annoyed people that my host showed as 1.3.3.7
rather than <user>.users.quakenet.org
 
12:42 PM
basically... mod abuse
 
cc: @Wipqozn
 
@badp well, yeah I guess
 
WHO ISN'T IN CHAT AND HAS A REALLY ANNOYING NAME TO HAVE TO TYPE OUT
 
who would have known what would have happened if they knew that I had root access to their test servers and had compiled the last version of lain that was on there
 
You should just never close chat, and then everyone is in autocomplete all the time.
 
12:43 PM
@OrigamiRobot it's not that bad
 
@TimStone My computer is still set to autorestart after stupid updates
I need to fix that... later.
 
Ah ha
 
wow Quakenet is dead
they're blaming facebook
 
dead as in dying or dead as in dead?
 
dead as in less users than before
<@meeb> yeah but you only did that at weekends
<pixel> so, still pretending to be important? :P
<@meeb> still the underdog elitst? :P
<pixel> I am always the underdog
<pixel> and I still paint the picture of me being super innocent and mostly harmless
<@meeb> if i raised my eyebrow high enough to be appropriate for that comment it would require a large helium balloon
<@meeb> and some string
 
12:46 PM
ah, eh.
 
@OrigamiRobot I'm in chat now.
If you had just waited a few seconds you wouldn't have needed to type it out.
 
Huh, this torrent for FLCL has some pretty good seeders
 
What did you expect, after all? Today's September 7165, 1993
 
So... Spotify sucks. Unless you pony up some cold hard cash for it. S$9.99 certainly is pretty attractive - unlimited music for less than the price of one album.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone You paid?
 
12:50 PM
No, there's a one month free trial
 
Ah
 
Which I will not be activating, since it's less than 30 days till enlistment
 
I didn't even bother with the free version, heh.
 
If you aren't aware, btw, ~6 months after you create your account Spotify gets limited to 20 hours per 2 weeks
...so I hope you enjoyed Spotify at all.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Man, really? Too soon.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Noooo, you can't leave us D:
 
12:51 PM
I can't stand the free version. The interface sucks, the ad in the app are pretty intrusive, and the audio ads are very annoying.
May 10.
 
I'll be adding that to my home screen
 
@Wipqozn As long as @TimStone autocompletes, I am happy.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone FLCL is the best.
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone nooooo
 
It's only 9 weeks.
Unless the training kills me. Which it might.
One poor sod got ran over by a truck last year I think
Two more died because of undiagnosed heart conditions.
 
 
12:55 PM
@fredley I finally got up to brush my teeth and put on pants and put on deodorant and put on shoes and now I am leaving.
 
Welcome to my wall of clocks @YiJiang'sEvilClone.
 
I hope you've enjoyed your update.
 
@OrigamiRobot Breakfast?
 
@badp Oh you
 
@OrigamiRobot More detail please
 
12:55 PM
@fredley I don't eat breakfast.
 
@OrigamiRobot Just plug in to charge overnight?
 
But now I want a bagel.
So bagels on the way to work.
Asiago Parmesan
@fredley I'll report in when i get to work.
 
@OrigamiRobot wat
 
Oh yeah, work...I should probably get ready and go to that.
 
@badp That's what kind of bagel I'm getting.
 
12:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot Please do
 
And now I want a bacon and egg bagel sandwich. Thanks @fredley for ruining everything.
 
@TimStone You also want coffee
 
@fredley I walked out, but I had to come back for my belt.
 
Luckily I already had coffee, I was one step ahead.
 
12:59 PM
@OrigamiRobot Fan belt?
