@OrigamiRobot It's just kind of irrelevant to my statement.
 
Oh dear, BBC have reports about bomber that 'suggests he is a Muslim believer'
 
@fredley Welcome to 8 hours ago.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh ok
 
The bombers were/are Chechens, and devout muslims.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Wow, ok
 
2:05 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm just trying to manipulate people's fervor to achieve my personal goals. Isn't that what we're doing here?
 
> “This whole country is going to fucking shit and Obama’s taking us down with it.”
Great lead article too:
> Calling the last four days of American life just...I mean, talk about a goddamned punch in the gut, citizens across the nation confirmed today that, Jesus, this week.
> This fucking week, sources added.
> Christ.
 
It's a time travel device.
 
@fredley a hyperlink to an image
 
But also a thing for blowing up explosives.

@fredley Dalek
 
@TimStone Ah ok
It looks like a vehicle from Thunderbirds or summat

Sots: The Pit won't launch >.<
It was working fine yesterday
 
More specifically, it appears to be "The Bango", if the text on the truck is to be believed.
 
@TimStone Didn't see that
 
2:17 PM
@SaintWacko Go read it. It's a great book dealing with the technological singularity, time travel and society's reaction to technology

@TimStone I just think it's funny because, in the US at least, copyright is automatic.

Q: What is PSR and how does it work?

OnirosI know those points are tied to ranked matches as you cannot earn then by playing player matches only. Still, sometimes I will earn between 4-6 when defeating opponents and lose between 0-2 in the opposite case. Is there any word on how the system works specifically? Also, what does it even stand...

Q: Does your choice of animal avatar have any effect on the game?

RobI've recently started playing Zookeeper Battle on my Android phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.kiteretsu.zookeeperbattle.google&hl=en I wondered whether the choice of animal you play makes any difference? Do you perhaps gain extra points if you match the same kind of animal...

 
2:23 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, but if you remind everyone they'll totally not do whatever they want with your images anyway, because the internet is respectful like that.
 
Truth.
 
@OrigamiRobot There's also a copyright notice Flickr sets automatically for you, making that totally unnecessary ignoring implicit copyright
 
And even without that copyright notice, most countries have implicit copyright protection
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Either way, the internet gives zero fucks about copyright
 
I'm going to print that photo and put it up at work out of spite.
 
2:31 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Awesomeness occurs at 2:20
 
@fredley Those subtle motherfuckers.
 
So basically Charles Stross said he made a mistake when writing Iron Sunrise which wreaked the universe, and thus would not be writing another story in the same universe

@LessPop_MoreFizz Your gif keeps on giving
 
@SaintWacko you too slow
@fredley his gif keeps on gifing?
 
2:41 PM
@fredley oh my god that gif
 
weeeeeeee
forex trading :O
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Actual cover?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz This makes me think of that scene in Voyage of the Damned where the Doctor flies with the hosts
 
2:43 PM
@djsmiley2k move all foreign currency holdings to Bitcoin. Problem solved.
 
I can't find a picture
 
@SaintWacko Ummm it's pretty explicitly a THX1138 reference.
@fredley Not sure. It's floating around.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz A what?
 
THX 1138 is a 1971 science fiction film directed by George Lucas in his feature directorial debut. The film was written by Lucas and Walter Murch. It stars Robert Duvall and Donald Pleasence and depicts a dystopian future in which the populace is controlled through android police officers and mandatory use of drugs that suppress emotion, including sexual desire. THX 1138 was developed from Lucas' student film Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, which he made in 1967 while attending the University of Southern California's film school. The feature film was produced in a joint venture betwe...

However if your sensible and not greedy...
 
@fredley Give me 2600 more rep and I'll do it.
 
@OrigamiRobot brb, serial upvoting
 
@fredley Bounties are faster.
 
It's been a full month since I last rep capped, I should get on that
 
rep cap all of the way up to 22.6k rep and then stop, so that @fredley can catch his breath
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Did not know this was a thing
 
@fredley It is a classic
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Eh
@kalina o_o
 
@fredley IT IS.
 
2:47 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hm, sounds interesting
 
@fredley what, I've been kind enough to give you some time on top, it's time I got to 30k already ;)

@fredley fine I'll give you another month to get some lead
 
@kalina I just want to get to row three, just for a little bit

@fredley you'll replace bwarner soon
 
As long as I am beating @Wipqozn, that's all that matters.
 
bleah, I don't even have 1k yet...
 
@fredley I'll let you get close enough to FAE to pass her and then I'll start then

Jin
2:51 PM
@BenBrocka happy birthday man. are you 21 yet?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Problem: they are Muslims
 
@BenBrocka you are only 23? I didn't realise you were younger than 90% of the bridge
 
@fredley Fox news must be SO CONFUSED right now
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I can't say for sure, but I don't think you're message will many of reach its intended recipients here.
 
2:53 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm sure they've managed to spin up some hysterical bullshit about it all
 
@kalina what does that make me at 24? 85%?
 
@OrigamiRobot Past experience indicates that you could be surprised!
 
@kalina Yes, and 3 different people at work have asked if I'm 21 today
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I mean, does the Fox News audience really notice/care if they say stuff that is inconsistent? I'm betting not.
 
@BenBrocka nothing wrong with looking young
 
2:54 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Certain users whom I suspect you're referring to are not present at this time.
 
@BenBrocka do what I do and claim you're 19 every year
next year...? 19
 
@BenBrocka People routinely think I am under 21.
 
Jin
I can't wait to turn 21
 
@Jin I don't want to get to 21 :(
 
Jin
I'm going to get sooo wasted
 
2:55 PM
@OrigamiRobot Same here
And I'm 22
@kalina Why not?
 
@SaintWacko because
 
@Jin Wow, Jin is young.

@fredley totes dude. yolo

Drinking legally is no fun amirite
 
2:57 PM
@BenBrocka I don't drink, doesn't effect me
@BenBrocka regardless, legal drinking age in UK = 18
 
@OrigamiRobot 18ish for normal people, 21 or so if you're like me
 
@OrigamiRobot 17
 
@OrigamiRobot 12
 
Although I'm also absolutely terrible at estimating ages
Almost got me in trouble, once
 
22 or 23
 
2:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot trick question, its not you, it is a human!
 
@OrigamiRobot Protip: Grow a beard to fuzz your age by about 10 years.
 
@Blem @OrigamiRobot likes to dress up like a human sometimes, he's into weird stuff like that
 
@Blem He's just wearing a human suit. Made of human.
@OrigamiRobot Correct. You could be anything up to 25 in that photo.
Maybe even 28
 
@fredley I can't grow a proper beard. It comes in blonde :(
 
3:00 PM
@SaintWacko Dye beard
 
@fredley I've thought about it
 
@SaintWacko Or grow enough to become some kind of scandinavian God
3
 
@fredley There only a 1 year difference in those pictures :(
 
Jin
I just realized the star wall on the right is like a hall of fame of no-context messages.
6
 
@fredley Even better option!
 
3:02 PM
@OrigamiRobot Successful proof of the beard fuzz theory.
 
@Jin Especially with that pinned message
 
@Jin welcome to The Bridge
 
@fredley I never denied it. After I grew facial hair, I finally stopped being carded at R-rated movies.
 
Reading the answers and comments to this question, I can't believe they're actually speaking English
 
3:04 PM
@OrigamiRobot I speak to a lot of people who assume I am older than them when in fact I am years younger. Beard FTW.
 
@fredley People still think I'm younger than I really am :(
It's my stupid dad's fault.
 
@OrigamiRobot This might be handy in twenty years or so. Maybe.
 
@fredley I shall attempt to grow a beard that thick
That's the other problem
It just doesn't come in thick
 
@SaintWacko All it takes is persistence
 
@SaintWacko My chosen style was not so much a choice as it was the only option.
 
3:06 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I had a question like that a while back, in which I suddenly realize I hadn't the slightest clue what they were saying
It was quite a revelation
Another LoL question, of course

You've got to push all the way through to Gandalf
 
@fredley needs to be quoted out of context
 
@fredley I try to shave right around the Stubble peak. e.g. whenever I think to fo so or whenever it's annoying to put my hand on my chin
 
@OrigamiRobot Full Beard FTW
@BenBrocka I shave when I get annoyed with myself playing with it all the time

3:09 PM
@fredley That is genetically impossible for me.
 
@OrigamiRobot Pretty sure I'm the same way

Q: Game Prograamming with OPENGL in C Not C++

Marco Pantanican anyone suggest a good book or website for learning Game Development using OpenGL with the C programming language (NOT C++) ? Thanks

 
@fredley I tend to trim down to Thin Beard, probably a bit before peak, and let it grow for a couple weeks until I start down the deeper trough : () )
although I've made it to Amish before
 
@SaintWacko It took a month to get to where I was in that picture!
 
3:12 PM
Will not click.
 
@Sconibulus I shave from beard to stubble
 
@fredley wat
 
@OrigamiRobot It's fine, it's Look Around You
Beard Lasers
 
@fredley It's on principle.
 
@OrigamiRobot :(
@kalina My hands just want to fiddle with it all the time.

3:13 PM
@fredley I'm constantly playing with mine.
 
@OrigamiRobot So satisfying to rub
4
 
@fredley I... erm
 
@kalina Just wait till he starts making moaning noises
 
@fredley I'm rubbing mine right now!
 
@kalina Have you never had the pleasure of playing with a man's beard?
@OrigamiRobot I'm twirling mine in my fingers!
 
3:15 PM
@fredley no I tend to avoid guys that look obviously scruffy
and patting down somebody's facial hair is not really my idea of fun
not to mention... it tickles
2
 
@kalina Not patting. Rubbing.
 
@fredley I feel like I'm being backed into a corner where I'll say something hugely amusing to the rest of you and be quoted on it for the rest of my life
 
@kalina We're all saying silly things, we just want you to join us
 
that's because you're all so silly!
 
ONE OF US ONE OF US
 
3:19 PM
This Friday has not gone well, so screw it, I'm going home. Catch you guys later!
 
Ugh, it's only 11:20
 
@fredley BYE HAVE FUN
incidentally my Friday has been great!
 
Only 10:20 here
my friday has started by finding some exploitable design flaw in the AJAX functionality of a website I'm maintaining.
but it'll end with me donating blood and getting 4 free waterpark tickets.
 
I don't know why, but I want to play Mass Effect again, even though I've completely completed it
 
If I had a nickle for every time I spilled blood for waterpark tickets chuckles
Oh, donating
 
3:22 PM
@kalina Completely completed?
 
@ShotgunNinja I don't think I could donate blood.
Needles shudders
 
@ShotgunNinja completely completed, all three games, all choices, paragon/renegade, femshep/maleshep, with and without wrex, killing the quarians/killing the geth/saving both, blowing up the collector base/saving the collector base, killing my entire squad except one, saving my whole squad, saving jack in me3/letting her die, all DLC, with cake, and cherries, and ice cream on top
I even shot Mordin in the back
 
@OrigamiRobot I had to scroll down two or three pages with safe search off to find the first "creepy" result for those two characters
 
@badp Do you have safe search on? I can't read.
 
@kalina Mine too! Although it hasn't been very long so far. And really the only particularly good part was between midnight and 1
 
3:35 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, yeah, bad day, etc.
 
@badp No, that was the other day.
 
@OrigamiRobot wait what
 
This is normal stupidity.
 
@badp @OrigamiRobot's results are clearly, shall we say, impacted by his search history
 
2 hours ago, by OrigamiRobot
@badp ROBOTS ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE BAD DAYS TOO
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CONFUSE ME SO GOOD SIR
you may continue trying though.
 
3:37 PM
@badp Yes, in relation to earlier this week when I ignored a bunch of people and turned my scripts off.
 
oh I thought you were talking about today.
I can't read.
 
No, today is just normal grumpy at work day.
Also sleepy.

Q: How do you counter Lina mid?

Q: Firing at point blank range in V.A.T.S. causes near 100% miss rate

SandokanI'm currently running through OWB and noticed something rather annoying. When I'm using V.A.T.S. at point blank range, I seem to almost always miss. When the camera zooms out to run the animation and the mob is chewing on my neck, my gun is actually firing past the hit box of the mob. It almost s...

Well, time to check out what hilarious shenanigans is our parliament up to as we fail again to elect a president
Turns out it takes more than 2 hours and a half to call out 1,007 people and have them vote, four by four. You'd think that at the fourth try they'd have sped things up a little bit.

@SaintWacko youwerestillasleepwhenIarrivedatworktoday
 
whenever Flash craps up, it takes the entirety of Firefox with it
That's not awesome
 
@badp I use google chrome and have it disable all plugins until I click on them
 
@kalina youwillbeasleepwhenigohome
 
@SaintWacko thisisdoubtfulasitisaFriday
@SaintWacko (gottagetdownonFriday)
 
3:53 PM
@kalina This is a flash plugin I want to use that's hung up Firefox
 
@kalina ahverytrue
@badp Shoulda used Chrome
 
@badp mmh, I disliked Firefox when it started getting bloated around the beta for v3 and haven't been back to it since
 
@SaintWacko Chrome can't chat.
 
@badp roll back to stable
 
@badp I don't have any trouble with it
 
3:54 PM
So after a while in exile with IE10 I'm now in Firefox 23 exile
 
@SaintWacko he uses the latest dev build
 
@SaintWacko Chrome 28?
 
@kalina Well, that sounds like his problem
 
@badp rollback to 26
@SaintWacko well I didn't want to point out the obvious, as I assume he knows this already
 
@kalina nevah. It's going to fix itself anyway
 
3:55 PM
Yeah, just use the stable release
 
@SaintWacko That's boring
 
@badp your face is boring
 
@badp but usable
 
@SaintWacko usability improvements make it first to dev, like the sound indicator for tabs
 
@badp But apparently not chat usability improvements
 
3:56 PM
@badp "sound indicator for tabs"...?
 
@kalina Also, this
 
@SaintWacko I don't think Google target SE chat as their primary userbase
 
@kalina Tabs that can make sound with flash or are playing sound with HTML 5 get an overlay animation
 
@kalina Well, they should
@badp That's nice
 
@badp hardly worth breaking chat for imo
 
3:57 PM
@badp nice, now I'll know which tabs to middle click!
 
@BenBrocka Damnit, just closed a tab -.-
I didn't know what middle clicking on a tab did -.-
 
You didn't know that?
 
Know
 
wow
 
Ctrl shift t
I <3 middle click
 
3:59 PM
alt + fax
 
When I want to close a tab, I hold down right click and move the mouse down, then to the right
I have all gesture based controls
Way faster
 
wow, a actually does something in chrome
 
Faster than middle click? Extremely doubtful
 
that was always meant to be a dummy character to make it look like you were doing something that wasn't closing the current application
 
@BenBrocka Faster than moving the mouse to the tab and then middle clicking
 
4:00 PM
@SaintWacko my mouse sensitivity is such that "move mouse to top of the screen" is like nudging the mouse 1cm up
 
@BenBrocka what's faster than middle click is right clicking on your first pinned tab and choosing close tabs to the right
 
@kalina That is ridiculous
How do you do anything accurately?
 
@SaintWacko no it's not
easily
you get used to it, and it makes your computer unusable to everybody else in the world
 
@SaintWacko You have to select the tab somehow. Plus it takes like 100ms to move to a tab
 
@kalina change it to alt + fix
 
4:01 PM
and for sniping, I have a button on the side of my mouse which reduces the sensitivity by 75%
 
@BenBrocka ctrl-tab switches tabs in MRU order, mouse gestures let me switch tabs right or left
 
You can see the sound indicator here if you can ignore the vibrating titles (which is why I uploaded that in the first place)
Incidentally, I think it's always on for chat, since it uses flash for sound.
 
@kalina I actually have that problem because I use momentum cursor
Well, not really problem, per se
 
@kalina mice-set DPI
 
@fredley is back!
 
4:12 PM
@OrigamiRobot That I am
 
I don't drink beer
I just got double facepalmed by two colleagues in unison for saying something stupid in the office
 
@kalina Do tell.
 
I am going to go and sit in a real life corner for a bit
 
@kalina Are you going to put on a dunce cap too?
 
4:16 PM
@YiJiang'sEvilClone if we had one handy, they'd probably have forced it on me
 
Just don't sit in the Half Life corner, I hear it's got headcrabs
 
@kalina Tell tell tell
 
@kalina What was it?
@kalina Yay, neither do I!

@SaintWacko Palm meets face
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yep
 
Oh man, someone actually upvoted his previous question
 
Oh wow
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Seems very familiar to the original, I know there was a big red/blue switch dungeon, and a "multiple layers" gimmic dungeon...possibly the same dungeon? Were those both in the Moldorm dungeon?

did I miss it?

aaaaaaaand nothing happens, just like nothing happened in the last two months
 
@fredley So you're watting at nothing
and nothing is what happens when you need 50% to do anything and you've got three roughly equally sized parties that can't get together.
