@BMitch Can't the SE admins institute a hellban

Also, isn't SE full of programmers? Can't somebody write a ~~virus~~ program, that could redirect him away from the site whenever he tries to view it?

After 140 users voted the answer up, and countless comments on how good the answer is. One user decided that the answer wasn't so great, and cast a down vote. Thank you Reid, for pointing out that when measuring the height of a tree with a stick, the distance from your shoulder to your eye is too great a discrepancy.

Either he's in a plane flying around the world, or he's using a proxy. Seems like a lot of work just to be a pain in the ass.

Good morning sire.

Where's my coffee? Bring me my coffee!

And the head of a peasant!

BMitch

12:37

@NiallC. BMitch slap applied.

Tester101

I'm sorry... Did you say pheasant, or peasant?

@BMitch Is that 4 or 5 accounts now?

Your coffee, m'lord

And your pheasant head.

Welcome @Sisir. Would you like a giant coffee or a pheasant head?

Sisir

12:55

@Tester101 :P Just had my coffee :)

Tester101

Anything else we can help you with, then?

BMitch

@Tester101 I think it's only 4. I'm about to go through them, note where they're coming from, and delete all posts as being from a user that made multiple accounts. Shouldn't be long before account #5 shows up.

Tester101

@BMitch He's using a proxy, or jet-setting all over the world.

Are you sure KDG is the same?

@Tester101 that would be user 15160. diy.stackexchange.com/users/15160

Ah, now I see the KDG pictures, yup, same guy, adding that to my list now

Chris Cudmore

13:41

Someone told me they were giving out pheasant heads in here. Where do I claim mine?

Tester101

oh, I'm sorry. We don't give pheasants to peasants.

Chris Cudmore

Damn

Muhahahaha

Chris Cudmore

Working on the Mathematician acheive. 128 of the first 3 buildings, then 64, 32... down to one condensor

Farms are now 4 billion

Oh, free acheivement. alt-shift-numlock to turn on mouse keys. Mouse over cookie and mash the numpad + as fast as you can for the "Click Really Fast" ach.

Jason

i didn't touch it overnight then bought 12 condensors

Chris Cudmore

I went with upgrades. I currently have 6 condensors.

There's synergy in this game.

Jason

I have almost all the 10% cookie upgrades

The Evil Greebo

15:18

what is it you're playing again?

wax eagle

Sorry, 77 second frenzy.

The Evil Greebo

evil

cursors are nice

Chris Cudmore

As I told you yesterday. Don't make any plans.

The Evil Greebo

lol i can't do this now :(

Chris Cudmore

15:21

Play for about 1/2 an hour and then let it run minimized for the rest of the day.

The Evil Greebo

1.4 cps. i'm so awesome

Chris Cudmore

Saving up for the Bingo hall. 4x Grandmas.

I'm at 29 mill, since about 3:00 last night.

wax eagle

trying to trigger the grammapocalypse?

Chris Cudmore

Absolutely

Jesus. Just got my 5th yearling on SO

Time flies.

The Evil Greebo

15:55

My strategy - buy whatever's cheapest

30 cursors, 17 grammas, 4 farms so far

Chris Cudmore

Works for a while. Now get some of those upgrades. They stack.

The Evil Greebo

i'm not clicking the cookie

oh they help cursors?!

wax eagle

@TheEvilGreebo there's an achievement for never clicking it.

The Evil Greebo

sweet

how can you never click it

wax eagle

lots of good support for cursors and grammas

@TheEvilGreebo gold cookies. that's a second or third time through type acheivement though.

The Evil Greebo

15:57

ah

Chris Cudmore

When you stop actively monitoring the game, just buy the most expensive thing you can afford.

Tester101

Or you cheat, like a dirty stinking cheater.

Chris Cudmore

There's an achievement for that too.

Ooh! Flag warning!

My first one!

The Evil Greebo

golden cookies?

Chris Cudmore

They appear every 5-15 minutes.

The Evil Greebo

16:06

where

Chris Cudmore

Some give lotsa cookies, others launch the 7x multiplier for 77 seconds.

Somewhere on the page

The Evil Greebo

ah

Chris Cudmore

Floating on a layer above. They fade in and out. About half the size of the big cookie.

Apparently there's a rare Chain cookie that gives 6, 66, 666, 6666, 66666, if you get them all, up to 13 digits. (But it's random how many beyond 5 it goes)

The Evil Greebo

i'd have to be watching all the time to catch those

and i can't really do that

Chris Cudmore

Exactly.

Price doubles every 5 purchases.

The Evil Greebo

16:15

new strategy - when I look at the screen buy from bottom up whatever I can

you all suck

4

Chris Cudmore

I said that already.

Jason

My export is broken, just gives me a blank textbox in the popup

i guess it's stuck on my server

Chris Cudmore

@TheEvilGreebo sell a grandma. There's an achievement

The Evil Greebo

LOL

thats just wrong

i want just enough cursors to wrap the cookie

Chris Cudmore

That's 100.

function click_cookie( ){
document.getElementById("bigCookie").click( );
}
setInterval("click_cookie( )", 1);

wax eagle

16:28

@ChrisCudmore 50

100 wraps it twice

Chris Cudmore

Paste that in your javascript console.

right

The Evil Greebo

damn cursors get expcnsive around 40

wax eagle

@TheEvilGreebo lol, mine cost over a billion cookies

Chris Cudmore

I've got 129 current price is 1,014,174,449

The Evil Greebo

lol i'm at 49

1 more for a full loop

wax eagle

16:30

check that 2 billion

Chris Cudmore

Price multiplier is 1.15 per item

1.15 ^ 5 = 2.01 So it doubles every 5 items.

The Evil Greebo

nod

Jason

140 cursors, they cost 4.7B now

Chris Cudmore

Cookies all the way down achieved.

500 billion cookies made

Jason

i'll be there in ~5 min

16:39

had to go do some brick work for the guy that laid my patio

wtf - like i've done it my whole life; got right to work, mortar mixed perfectly, everything nice and level

Chris Cudmore

Awesome.

Here, have a cookie, I've got billions.

lsiunsuex

still playing that game, haha

Chris Cudmore

Mostly it's playing itself

oooh, Frenzy with autoclick enabled. Nice

Chris Cudmore

17:04

With 6 billion people in the world, I'm producing enough cookies to give each person in the world a cookie every 2 minutes.

wax eagle

17:35

over a trillion cookies baked

Chris Cudmore

843 Million

And 50 million CPS

Off now. Will leave it running until tomorrow.

Should leave me with 3.5 Trillion in the morning. Mega Upgrade time!

The Evil Greebo

@ChrisCudmore I want a cookie now

getting hard to not be able to buy something now

Chris Cudmore

It gets hard again.

Jason

That's what she said

lsiunsuex

give it a few minutes

The Evil Greebo

17:52

well i meant more than just upgrades i meant the whole choice of things to buy

gregmac

What the hell is with this?

diy.stackexchange.com/questions/31925/…

spam account posting questions..?

Can we fix this in some way? because this just makes me probably unlikely to answer a question posted by a user with low rep again

wax eagle

@gregmac spam flag best you can....it's been happening

gregmac

how would I know that question was spam?

looks like a legit question to me.

wax eagle

@gregmac well in this particular case the user is asking pretty much that same question repeatedly

gregmac

18:10

hm ok.. i didn't notice.

and I guess if they're deleted I can't find them now

wax eagle

yeah, and spam is deleted in a special way even for mods that makes it harder to find

BMitch

@gregmac Sorry about that. The guy opened up 5 different accounts so far. That was the only question I was really torn about because you posted a useful answer. Keep an eye out for photos like these:

The Evil Greebo

yeah it was pretty silly

BMitch

or like this:

@ChrisCudmore were you on drugs yesterday?

diy.stackexchange.com/questions/31926/…

Damn, deleted question doesn't let the auto-quoting work...

> Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like? --ChrisCudmore

Speaking of people on drugs...

wax eagle

lol

Jason

18:26

He and I have an agreement

So that's how tornadoes form

too soon?

FYI, AARRRGGG!

uh oh, guess what day it is...

Welcome to Project Update Thursday

So I got nothing, and by that I mean I still have no countertop. Which reminds me, I need to call those countertop people to see why they're dragging their feet.

Disco is back, baby!

Jason

19:35

I bought a solid blade attachment for my weed wacker.

need

to

hide

disco

BMitch

Now you can really do some wacking

Jason

ball

And I keep finding yellow jacket nests

BMitch

Disco is an old tradition around here, the only way to stop it is to have a PUT discussion.

Jason

I've been using a leaf blower to encourage them to leave and not come back

BMitch

(posting random humorous pics can also make the disco ball go away faster)

Jason

19:38

I figured flagging a mod was hard

BMitch

lol

You may have a dozen disco balls suddenly appear if you did that

So does the leaf blower work, or just really annoy them?

Jason

Girlfriend is begging for raised garden beds too.

Umm, the first time it worked great because the nest broke off and rolled down the driveway

The second time it wouldn't budge but I kept the from stinging me so "work" yes, I'd say it "worked"

BMitch

I recall my childhood when my dad got rid of a nest up in the tree with a shotgun. There was a bang and then a mad race to get back in the house.

Jason

wow

My dad would break out this old badminton racket

BMitch

I'm thinking pole saw, but that may not give me much time/space to get inside. May need backup support with a leaf blower.

Jason

19:43

I live in a place (and time) that using a shotgun will get me arrested, almost had to shoot a raccoon chasing my dog, that would of been worth it though.

BMitch

haven't you heard, the proper way to get rid of a raccoon is to throw it down the stairs with an overhead toss

Jason

I have slugs, I don't mess with rabbies

BMitch

►

Jason

wow

did you hear they "proved" cow tipping impossible because their isn't a youtube video showing someone do it

BMitch

I've never tried it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just something bored kids in the country try, or use as a way to get girls to play in the fields late at night with them.

Jason

19:51

Oh, we did it

both actually

I have alot of old plexiglass, all is 6"x4'x1/4". Think I can make a raised garden bed with it?

BMitch

You want a see through box?

Jason

I want to not buy expensive cedar for a garden she'll use for a month and then give up on.

Meeting time, later

BMitch

Personally I like wood, maybe just get a bunch of pots that can be repurposed later on?

Jason

we have pots already, she wants to get cedar

A: What is a good alternative to pressure treated wood for raised beds?

I wanted to use cedar but didn't want to pay the premium. I found a good article about using cedar pickets, so I built mine like this. http://ana-white.com/2010/05/hack-natural-rustic-cedar-raised-beds.html

Jason

20:23

@NiallC. I saw this months ago but I can't find any locally

Niall C.

@Jason I guess we keep all the western red cedar to ourselves here on the west coast.

Jason

near the cedar forests, crazy idea

BMitch
