4:02 PM
@FEichinger Ooh, me too
 
@kalina Skientist?
 
@fredley sceptic
 
@RonanForman Happy 18th birthday!!!!! :D
9
 
@ManishEarth Who are you, and what are you doing here in The Bridge?
 
aaahhh!
hides
 
4:10 PM
@ManishEarth Isn't he 17 now?
 
@RonanForman BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY
 
@OrigamiRobot 18. I vote we all get him drunk somehow
 
Says 18 for me
 
@fredley It's not the birthday part. It's someone I don't know wishes me it.
 
4:11 PM
@RonanForman Hee hee
 
I assume my dad's been telling people.
 
@RonanForman We are people on the internet. You don't really know any of us :D
 
@RONAN IS 18 NOW (CC: @SPUGSLEY)
 
@fredley I doubt the "people" part.
Also, uhhh, Happy Birthday and shizzles.
 
@fredley Knowing isn't a binary thing.
 
4:13 PM
@RonanForman Happy birthday, not-quite-birthday-buddy
 
PaperStare @RonanForman HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
3
 
PaperStare @RonanForman HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
 
all these blue names appearing
purge all blue names with fire
 
Aaaaw, @OrigamiRob turned off PaperStare!
 
4:14 PM
Some real realistic lighting there
 
@fredley I know about your abuse.
 
@RonanForman happy birthday! Where/when is the party? :p
 
@kalina Nowhere/never.
 
@kalina Oh, so you'll come to @RonanForman's events huh?
 
@fredley Nottingham is hardly London
 
4:15 PM
@kalina London is easy to get to from anywhere in the World
 
nobody would WANT to go to London though
 
@kalina London has pubs, and people
Fields, generally, have at most one of those things
 
Moar blue username!
 
Any place in the UK has pubs and people
 
@kalina So horribly true.
 
4:16 PM
This is an entire country of pubs and people
 
@ManishEarth Yes please
 
@kalina Sometimes, I doubt the "people" part.
 
Nottingham has amongst the highest density of pubs you'll find, plus Rock City
 
@kalina Fine, but the people not from your field are in London
 
even my silly little village has pubs and people
 
4:17 PM
@MarkBooth Cambridge has excellent pub density!
 
@fredley but no Rock City *8')
 
@kalina Yes, but it's a silly little pub with silly little people
 
@MarkBooth this, lots of pubs, lots of people
 
@fredley Sounds like a place I want to avoid.
 
@MarkBooth fine
 
4:17 PM
couple of stabbings, the occasional shooting
casual violence
 
@OrigamiRobot :(
@kalina Art, culture, fun
 
@fredley Bwahahahahahahah. Right.
 
So much blue
 
4:18 PM
@kalina Isn't that what a good night's all about (bearing in mind that I come from Mansfield, which is where the rabble who get barred from Nottinghams pubs go *8')
 
@FEichinger As long as you stay away from the Tube, London is wonderful!
 
@ThomasOwens The candles aren't even lit
 
SO MUCH CAKE
 
Anyway, I must leave this party, because going home right now is more important
 
@FEichinger that's not even the right shade
 
4:19 PM
see y'all
 
Even on the internet, my dad still manages to embarrass me. I hate you @ChrisF!
 
Don't be too hard on him @RonanForman
 
@RonanForman At least you can now pour your heart out over a beer.
:P
 
@BenBrocka I just picked the first appropriate Google result!
 
@RonanForman ChrisF is your dad?
 
4:20 PM
"Hey other mods, I need you to storm the Bridge and wish @RonanForman a happy birthday"
 
@kalina No, I just pretend he is.
 
@RonanForman now you're just trying to hide the fact
 
"Fact? What fact? You're imagining things again, @kalina."
 
the amount of sugar I've consumed today, it's perfectly possible you're all a figment of my imagination and I am in fact collapsed in a corner giggling to myself
 
Tap yourself on the forehead three times, then stand up.
 
4:23 PM
last time I tried to stand up, I trod on my own shoelace and nearly fell over
I am going to wait until the rest of the office leaves before I go home
 
@FEichinger it's usually just SO
 
@FEichinger They do that on all sites.
 
and those are the folks who have been qbanned
 
4:25 PM
usually
 
@ManishEarth SO at least makes some kind of twisted sense.
@RonanForman But MSO out of all things?
 
@FEichinger No, I mean that folks ask Programming qs on MSO
 
@FEichinger It's a popular site, and they see and ask question button. What do you expect them to do?
 
@ManishEarth Yes. That makes some kind of sense. Like, "can't find my way back to the main site" and crap like that.
 
@FEichinger we had something similar to that recently
think it was in chat though
 
4:27 PM
@RonanForman People post questions in edit summaries, in suggested edits, in tag wikis, in flags, anywhere
 
@OrigamiRobot That is highly disturbing
 
@ManishEarth And blog posts.
 
@RonanForman that too
@FEichinger more than half are question banned on SO, they can't ask there. So they ask on MSO or ProgSE. Usually MSO, because the "you are banned, here's what you should do" message is hosted there
 
@ManishEarth Also makes sense. It's stupid, but it makes sense.
 
@FEichinger yep
We deal with like 20-30 a day
 
4:29 PM
But posting a Q that belongs to a whole different site on bloody MSO? That makes no sense at all.
That's like trying to buy a chair goat at a candle factory.
 
@FEichinger Some people tend to just put their question into the first text field they can find anywhere, there is no other explanation for some of the stuff you see posted to SE sites
 
There are also some people who see empty text fields and promptly fill them with crap

Oh you mean this?
 
4:36 PM
yes
 
Look at the submitter. And listen to me laughing maniacally.
 
I hate that post. You submitted it as a LINK!!!!!!!!!
 
?
There's a pic right there
 
Yes. But the pic is the link body.
 
4:40 PM
oh i see
 
Links are evil. They mess with the layout, screw with the pic resizing, all that stuff.
 
@fredley @AllMinecraftPlayers I'm stuck in a minecart! How do I get out?
SSP
 
@Ender Same thing, these days
And how...?
 
@ManishEarth This one is even worse, though.
 
im in a minecart
im stationary
i cant get out
 
4:43 PM
@FEichinger ah
 
right clicking the cart does not work
hittiing the cart with my sword will not work
destroying the blocks around me doesnt help
 
@Ender Are you stuck inside a block or something? Like, the old half-slab-to-stop-pigmen trick?
 
if you can think of the minecart as a block, sure.
 
I have no idea. Try relogging, I guess...? I don't know.
 
I AM HOME

Q: M&B:WB - Improve vassal relations to king as martial

RojzikI'm wondering if it's possible to, as martial, improve relations between vassals of my faction and the king. As it is, all but a few vassals have very negative relation levels with him and they're all leaving in droves. Is there a way to exert any control over this as martial or as a vassal? I...

 
@RonanForman as a birthday gift, @Lazers can be renamed for the day :P
 
@ManishEarth Yay! Make it spelled right. As in Lasers.
 
that's hardly a gift, he's a room owner, he could probably change it himself!
 
@kalina No, lasers is a actual user, only mods can rename it.
 
mmm
I agree with naming it correctly though
silly Americans
 
4:54 PM
@RonanForman no, it's a negative userid user -- a feeds user
Anyone disagree?
@kalina don't think so
 
@ManishEarth Fine, but it's stored in the users place.
 
but you'd need to do the meta user as well!
 
lasers are so pretty
 
@ManishEarth What have you done?!?!
 
4:59 PM
I blame @OrigamiRob.
 
@RonanForman obviously he has taken your avatar and pasted it in the middle of Lasers' avatar
 
@RonanForman Made it Lasers. And changed the grav a bit (it can be reverted)
 
we should change the subject so nobody ever notices
so
@RonanForman, what kind of cakes do you like?
 
@RonanForman do you like cupcake?
 
5:01 PM
@kalina They're too small. LARGE CAKES!
 
chocolate cake with cadbury flakes on it?
lego cake?
 
@kalina Now you're making me hungry. I'm going to have to bake my cake now.
 
Minecraft cake?
 
Jake Cake.
Mar 24 at 20:58, by Ronan Forman
user image
 
you could put a little Ronan Forman on top of that Minecraft cake
lol Jake Cake
 
5:06 PM
@kalina I made that Cake.
 
@RonanForman well it looks pretty edible, which is always a good thing for cake
 
@kalina I didn't get to eat it :(
 
:O
you made a cake and didn't get to eat it?
 
@kalina you can't make your cake and eat it too
 
It was never going to be for me.
 
5:08 PM
@ManishEarth eating cake is established as something you do after baking cake
 
@kalina Well, at home, the maker of the cake (my mother) eats a tiny bit. The rest of us finish it off
 
yet she still eats some cake
 
Though when my sister bakes cakes she scarfs off about half when I'm not looking
@RonanForman did you get to eat the batter?
 
@ManishEarth Batter? You mean icing? Or cake mix?
 
@RonanForman cake mix
 
5:10 PM
@ManishEarth Of course.
 
the goopy stuff you put in the oven
@RonanForman Then it's fine :)
 
what's the most effective way to stop sneezing
I can't stand the goo!
2
 
You sure you want the "most effective" way, rather than the "most efficient"? ... Cuz, you know, "most effective" kinda ends more than just sneezing.
 
well maybe I'm allergic to living
 
I neither implied, nor encouraged any such behavior. disclaimer
 
5:17 PM
either way if I keep sneezing like this I will run out of goo eventually
and I suspect all of this goo is my BRAIN
 
Which would be the same result.
 
user15026
@feichinger that's morbid.
 
@AshleyNunn Indeed, it is.

Q: Do the "weak and ill suited for battle" weapons have any hidden stats or bonuses?

NolonarIn Fire Emblem Awakening, I have recently come accross 2 weapons, whose description says: Weak and ill suited for battle. Namely, the Log and the Slack Bow ( <- link provided ) and I believe there may be even more. It wouldn't be the first time I've run accross weak weapons in the Fire Emblem g...

Q: SPOILERS - How old was Booker when he got Anna?

Mario92Well, I am confused after several days of deep thinking. Booker that we play is 38 years old, Elizabeth is 20 (as I asume when referring to chalkboard in Monument Island where scientists observed Elizabeths growing up). That means he was married and got Anna when he was 18 years (He was married ...

 
6:31 PM
I am so excited for this.
 
user20683
@RonanForman Happy Birthday! Welcome to voting and hard liquor I think?
 
@WorldEngineer Aye.
 
user20683
beer is at 16 in the UK yes?
 
@WorldEngineer No, 18.
 
user20683
ah
 
user20683
6:32 PM
must be France or someplace where that is then
 
6:57 PM
In Denmark you need to be 16 to buy alcohol in a shop and 18 to buy some with a % over 2.5% for alcohol and 2.8% for beer it at a restaurant, bar etc
It is legal for all ages to drink it, it is up to the parents
 
user20683
@Blem 21 to buy, used to be up to the states until Mothers Against Drunk Driving managed to persuade Reagan and congress to tie to highway funding
 
@Blem In India you need to be 21. However, the age for consensual intercourse is 18 or 16 (I think they reduced it).
 
user20683
@ManishEarth age of consent is set by the states in the US. I think one state still has it at 14
 
@WorldEngineer whoa
 
user20683
there's typically a part of the law that says as long as both minors and within 2 years of each other no charges will be pressed
 
6:59 PM
@Blem In Denmark alcohol is also extremely expensive, that is probably more effective than any laws
 
user20683
I think they still have to both be like over 14
 
user20683
 
user20683
Mexico it looks like
 
user20683
appears they finally raised the age
 
@MadScientist at least it is not as bad as Norway :D
 
user20683
7:05 PM
@ManishEarth it was Canada
 
user20683
they raised their age from 14 to 16 in 2008
 
@WorldEngineer :P
 
@WorldEngineer Canada is the worst state.
I don't know why we haven't kicked them out yet.
 
user20683
@Ullallulloo yeah after the war of 1812 when they totally didn't back us up...
 
In Denmark you need to be 18 to get a drivers license
 
user20683
7:07 PM
@Blem isn't also a 1 strike law regarding DUI?
 
@WorldEngineer I think you loose your drivers license and you will need to attend something like AA and retake the test to get it back
 
user20683
@Blem ah, yeah that's generally what they do in the U.S. Eventually the suspension becomes indefinite.

Q: Is it possible to call Trisha?

Q: Are questions about Yahoo Answers on topic?

World EngineerA curious notion popped into my head just now. It occurs to me that Yahoo Answers theoretically could be considered a Web App. As such, would questions about Yahoo Answers be on topic here? I don't have any questions about it as I stay as far from that place as I can but I am curious.

 
user20683
it is done
 
user20683
7:23 PM
I am going to burn for this...I just know it.
 
Oh come on! That's boring.
You gotta ask a main question!
 
user20683
@FEichinger :P
 
user20683
asking it on main would be the wrong place to ask questions about a site
 
That's why you wouldn't ask whether or not it's on-topic, but an actual question about Yahoo Answers.
 
user20683
@FEichinger I have no questions about Yahoo Answers
 
user20683
7:27 PM
it is a dark spot on my map of the internet, wherein "Here be Dragons" is scrawled in blood.
 
would weird cake sculptures be on topic for Seasoned Advice?
 
user20683
@Sconibulus techniques for cake sculpting probably would
 
@WorldEngineer Think of something, then. That might be helpful for other users! You never know!
 
> This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Our duplicate close reason needs to be fixed, I think...
 
I have a friend asking me about how to make a round cake out of lego-brick-minicakes...
 
user20683
7:32 PM
@Sconibulus approximation? You can't get a smooth cake out of combining a finite number of non-smooth cakes
 
I think the idea is to cut portions off around the edges
 
@Sconibulus What? Cut up lego bricks?
 
the interlocking mechanism doesn't seem like it'd work though
isn't cake too fragile for that?
 
user20683
@Sconibulus depends on the cake
 
user20683
7:37 PM
some cakes are easily dense enough
 
user15026
@sconibulus - definitely doable, if the cakes are dense. Like a yellow cake or chocolate or pound cake, anything not fluffy and crumbly.
 
@ManishEarth Would that be better than Seasoned Advice?
it seems... not right
 
user15026
SA is your best bet.
 
the gooo
 
user20683
@kalina may or may not be edible and/or delicious...I'm not gonna be the one to find out.
 
7:41 PM
neither
definitely neither
 
user20683
@kalina ah, good that's all settled then
 
I think it'll be edible and delicious, just very difficult to make
I agree with @Sconibulus, I can't imagine the bricks snapping together at all
I think it will just be a pile of rectangles
 
@kalina Definitely edible. Not that you'd want to, but still.
 
user15026
@origamirobot EW.
 
@AshleyNunn Just sayin!
 
7:43 PM
I could lower the tone through the floor by making a comparison but I will avoid doing so I think
 
user20683
I'd built it out of something like fondant
 
user15026
@origamirobot why. Why do you do this.
 
user20683
I think that's what they cover wedding cakes with
 
user15026
@worldengineer yeah, rolled fondant would work well
 
@AshleyNunn Just. Sayin.
 
user20683
7:44 PM
another option is molded sugar glass
 
@AshleyNunn Have you voted for Eliza yet?
 
user20683
Eliza?
 
user15026
@worldengineer a lot more time consuming and dangerous.
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn true but closer to form
 
PaperStare @ori how do you turn this on
 
7:45 PM
No.
You've had your fun.
 
@OrigamiRobot :(
 
You deserve this.
 
@OrigamiRobot Meabazoid
 
user15026
@BenBrocka not yet. About to.
 
@fredley I would have never known if there were no stars.
 
7:46 PM
@AshleyNunn cool
 
@OrigamiRobot :(
 
@fredley be grateful, I did it a fraction as much as you did and got ignored and a minor temper aimed at me
 
@kalina It's @OrigamiRob's fault for making a chat echo bot
Honestly, how could you think that was a good idea?
 
@kalina I wasn't awake to hear those pings.
Also, I have no temper.
 
@AshleyNunn we were talking in The FGC how BS it is that Stanley isn't in (also Isaac) but Eliza will do just fine
 
7:48 PM
SHUT UP WITH YOUR STUPID FLAGS MATH!
 
user15026
Yeah, it is totally BS
 
@fredley shrug, his problem
 
@kalina Quite
Silly wobot
 
user15026
@BenBrocka want her, really hope Annie doesn't make it, after all that dramalama
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah. And so much hate around pretty much everyone aside from Eliza. Aeon's too much of a risk IMO, she might be boring/weird. Eliza's pretty sure to kick ass. I just hope the blood thing isn't too important for victory
Her playstyle sounds by far the most interesting out of the top 4 for sure
 
7:52 PM
@fredley Your face is silly.

A lot of my mass effect time doesn't get stored against my Steam account due to the game's love of crashing after it's been open for 24 hours
So I'm either the best gamer in the world or Steam and/or Mass Effect are both terrible
Since I have completed ME1 15-20 times in 18 hours
and I have completed ME2 15-20 times in 5 1/2 hours
 
Steam gets times confused when you are offline as well.
 
user20683
yeah
 
user20683
it really does
 
I have, apparently, finished Arkham Asylum in 102 minutes.
I've also gotten pretty far in Hotline Miami in just 16 minutes.
 
I was kinda hoping we could just go with me being the best gamer in the world
but it's cool, we can share stories about how bad steam is at keeping track of time played
