12:04 AM
If I were an organisation I'd block bashing people too
 
@FMLCat can we not encourage underaged users to do illegal things?
 
@JourneymanGeek It may not be underage or illegal in certain jurisdictions!
 
You might not be underage or illegal in certain jurisdictions. Or might cause cancer in the state of california.
 
12:38 AM
so it doesn't cause cancer if you live somewhere else?
 
@JourneymanGeek only tried, didn't like, will not get addicted, I promise
 
that's how addictions start ;p

Was on the job, first men's volleyball match of the season.

> WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
 
@bwDraco eh. The wrong version is funnier then
 
containa? Sounds like something Mario would say...

"This product contains-a chemicals known to the State-a of California to cause-a cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm."
 
!!/wiki Prop 65
 
1:08 AM
Proposition 65 (formally titled "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986") is a California law passed by direct voter initiative in 1986 by a 63%-37% vote. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures. == Introduction == Proposition 65 is administered by Cal/EPA's California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Proposition 65 regulates substances...
 
Too bad New York does not have direct voter initiative...
 
Bob
uhh
if that's your example, perhaps not having it is a good thing
 
Yeah.
This warning isn't even useful anymore.
Especially because there is no penalty for putting a Prop 65 warning on a product that doesn't need it.
 
other than people assuming it gives them cancer
which isn't a common marketing stratergy
 
Bob
hm, can someone try steamcommunity.com/chat on Firefox (and maybe Chrome) and see if it works?
I think they applied a broken CSP
 
1:16 AM
seems broken on vivaldi
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek could you try chrome too?
 
I don't have chome installed at the moment
 
Bob
oh
 
@JourneymanGeek check your Steam inbox
 
@Bob exact same problem on firefox
 
Bob
1:21 AM
I'd contact steam support but that's probably pointless
 
I tried loading it... but Steam Guard is taking soooo long.
 
Bob
@MichaelFrank that Chrome?
 
Yes
And so we cover all bases... It's the same on IE11. :P
 
Bob
1:39 AM
@MichaelFrank thanks
@Steam_Support Your web chat page doesn't seem to work anymore. List of names is empty. Tested on Firefox, Chrome, IE11, Vivaldi. https://steamcommunity.com/chat
hopefully that gets their attention
hm, that might be an inactive twitter account. bleh.
also, found this fun snippet:
> There's no Bug Report -section for the stable version, because what's fixed in the beta client should be fixed in the stable client.

@JourneymanGeek That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.
 
blah

@JourneymanGeek There's no Bug Report -section for the stable version, because what's broken in the beta client should be broken in the stable client. (source)

5:00 AM
@rahuldottech You have not linked to an edit. But I can see one edit by Rahuldottech, which was declined.
 
@FleetCommand wait, it was?
Why though? Isn't time.com a reputable source?
 
user226528
I can see several problems with it.
 
Yeah okay
 
user226528
First, you should contribute to Wikipedia, not throw contributions into it!
 
It was mainly to prove a point to a friend
 
user226528
5:08 AM
In other words, if you had added this sentence to "Personal life" section, it would probably have stuck.
 
@FleetCommand riiiight. Makes sense.
 
user226528
Second problem:
 
user226528
The YouTube source.
 
HE'S RUNNING FOR PM OF ITALY THOUGH, HOW COOL IS THAT XD
@FleetCommand it's important because that's a clip of him announcing his candidacy on live TV from the official channel?
 
user226528
The YouTube is rarely ever linked directly in Wikipedia.
 
user226528
5:09 AM
You usually link to page in which the YouTube video was originally embedded.
 
user226528
There is also a strange thing: I do not see him listed in [[Italian general election, 2018]].
 
Hm. Okay then.
 
user226528
(You know what I mean by [[ and ]], right?)
 
@FleetCommand yeah
@FleetCommand because it's only been a day since he announced
 
user226528
Of course, I am not expert in politics but this Time announcement looks like a joke than an actual one.
 
5:13 AM
Honestly, that part of the video is sort of a mockery, but he appears to be serious when he announces his candidacy, and by Italian law that's completely legal, so...
 
user226528
I mean, this Oliver person is of British birth. How can he become the prime minister of another country?
 
@FleetCommand there are no restrictions on citizenship of the PM in the Italian constitution
It's absurd
But technically allowed
 
user226528
Real life doesn't work that way. When you hear an Englishman becoming a prime minister candidate for another country, you don't resort to one source only.
 
user226528
There reality of our life is: Some things warrant more investigation.
 
user226528
... before being accepted as a fact.
 
user226528
5:15 AM
Does it not make sense to you?
 
Fair enough
 
user226528
But like I said, this sentence fits well inside "Personal life" section.
 
user226528
They can take it at its face value or not. It won't be your problem anymore.
 
user226528
Oh, and one fine point: You wrote "the 2018 [[Italian general election, 2018|Italian election]]". You must write: "[[Italian general election, 2018|the 2018 Italian election]]". The reader mustn't think your link takes him/her to [[Italian election]].
 
@FleetCommand okay, got it
Thanks :)
 
user226528
5:19 AM
Now, go get 'em. :)
 
user226528
Phone again. AFK.

8:34 AM
@AndyK afternoon here.
 
@RogUE hey
 
so we definately have snow
not deep, but it's here and still coming down
oh god
IPS is turning into the how do I ask X on a date, when they clearly don't want to but I'm trying to ignore that fact.
 
9:48 AM
I've been digging out snow for 45 mins
Fun times
Can't remember the last time we had snow like this
 
Don't dig snow, it'll kill yu
Or is that only true for americans?
 
Question about Bitcoin:
Disregarding the obvious risks that come with the crypto currency
What if I but 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin, wait for the value to increase, then convert it back into cash? And then invest that higher amount in Bitcoin and keep doing this?
 
@djsmiley2k Heart attack, you say
I think Geek or allquixotic linked the "so you wanna crypto" guide a while back
Lesseee
Aha
 
lol
I have no enough time to read this links and. I have also no enough time to writing a long question — user877339 45 secs ago
 
Ah sorry it was you David, my bad!
That comment is almost longer than the question!
@rahuldottech The 'obvious risk' is that you should be prepared to lose everything
If you think you are smarter than the other people trading crypto, go for it

@rahuldottech What if the value goes down?

Q: What is the most effective way to increase traffic to a website?

Lisa BouvoisTo effectively increase traffic to a website, one should focus on building referral links and to invest in consistent SEO management. It will not only help one gain visitors but will also help in building brand recognition. However, the most important factor is to focus on User Retention by prov...

spam seed?
 
@djsmiley2k obviously, that's the risk
But I wouldn't care, since I started small
 
@rahuldottech I'm trying to figure out what kind of response you expected to your question
What if you did?
you'd have more bitcoin than you started with
you're never going to make millions now
 
I know. I'm wondering how much I can make though
 
very little?
you'd prob do better to buy a asic or something for $100, and mine whichever crypto is good right now
 
10:08 AM
Hmm. Depends on how much the value increased by, right?
 
of course.
If bitcoin is $10k right now, I can imagine it going back to maybe $15k
 
I might set up a bot for this
 
that's a 50% increase, so you'd have $150 of bitcoin
 
Yeah.
 
as long as you can sell it
and then you've got the 'costs' assoicated too
> Chatham Ski and Snowboard Centre in Gillingham, Kent, has been forced to close because of the heavy snow
GHahahahah
 
10:20 AM
@djsmiley2k yes
looks like the needful has been done.
 
=)
pooopy in the shoes plz
Or on the bed
 
We do not "pooopy in the shoes"
We leave warm gifts.
 
Bob
do not look a gift dog in the ... other end?
 
No Comment.
;p
 
10:30 AM
that moment when you're expecting to have hours of work, only to find you've already done it \o/
 
Bob
10:41 AM
 
11:30 AM
Our planet is fooked
that's it, we've broken it.
completely
> A red warning means that risk to life, widespread damage, travel and power disruption is likely.
 
12:16 PM
@djsmiley2k keep calm and...?
 
freeze to death.
set fire to your hair?
 
@djsmiley2k oh shit
I was planning on driving out for some board gaming...
 
Board up your windows - that’s a game
We’re supposed to get 3-5” of rain this weekend which is like 2 SI mice of rain for you Brits
 
inches?
pfft.
@djsmiley2k RED SNOW?
 
12:34 PM
We're supposed to have 6 inches of snow.
 
2.1 SI mice?
 
We've not had snow this good since 2012
Course last time we had less than one inch of snow we had delays of >40 minutes on the buses and no service for nearly an hour on bust routes that should have busses every 5-10 minutes
 
@FMLCat on your bike?
Plz b. v. carefuk
@FMLCat ok, maybe really don't go out
6 inches is cars aren't moving anymore
not sure wtf happens on a bike?
@bertieb Did you not see the mouse measurement guide?
 
@djsmiley2k my tyres penetrate the snow like ice skates!
 
@djsmiley2k I did (a HNQ recently) ? I was suggesting 6" is about 2.1 mice based on allq's conversion :P
 
12:40 PM
@FMLCat can you turn tho?
@bertieb ah yeus
 
@djsmiley2k yes, lie down on my side and do snow angel movements!
 
@FMLCat I was shovelling and there was some slippy compacted stuff at the bottom, so be careful
 
lol
 
I expect snowploughs and gritters will be out on the main routes anyway since the busses are still running... So far
 
I remember trying to ride my pedal bike in some snow
it didn't go well
@FMLCat I think the warning starts 4am?
 
12:41 PM
Red warning is 4pm - 11am
 
@djsmiley2k your mom starts at 4am!
 
boom boom
thanks Michael Fish!
 
3pm - 10 am
My mistake
 
GMT?
 
AWST (UTC +8)
:P
 
12:42 PM
Outside is very confused btw
I went out
the old snow has frozen into ice
the sun is shining
random flakes of snow are still falling from the sky.
There's patches of blue sky too
 
Yea
I was shovelling in the sunshine first thing, then all of a sudden "ha, blizzard! gotcha!"
 
That's just the red snow times. Yellow snow is an extra few days either side
 
As I took a hedgeful of snow to the face :P
 
And then there's Amber, which partly overlaps with the yellow and red
 
12:45 PM
gagaga
There isn't enougn snow here to build a snowball :(
 
Nearly got frostbite changing busses yesterday with hail in the face as well
There's enough snow here to build a snow cat
 
is this a house cat, maine coon, or toger sized cat?
 
No no
a CAT
 
Lol
 
See that CAT looks big, but the next image in the sequence has a toddler's hand grabbing it which fixes the perspective :P
 
12:59 PM
Makes me wonder about scientists
@bertieb :D
 
Looks like I only have to get over a metre or so of snow before the rest of the road is clear. I could kick the bike that far. Easy peasy.
 
Not too bad yet @FMLCat
I think they are expecting some serious snow later
along with freezing rain
at which point everyone dies because no one knows how to drive.
something doesn't make sense here
Oh wait, yes it does
 
@djsmiley2k big deal, just means I might get stuck in town and can't get home and I'll have to meaow at a few windows until some dumb kind human pities me enough to let me in
 
1:03 PM
lol
in the worst STORM EVERRRRRRR
 
ture sometimes
true*
 
Uhh I think it's started.... I can't see the road anymore
 
lol
2 hours early :O
 
Well the yellow warning ran from yesterday till Saturday
And BBC weather said heavy snow all day from morning
 
1:14 PM
Quite a flurry here also
 
Yeah the road's gone
I'm not going anywhere :-(
 
user226528
Hey, superdudes! :)
 
o/
 
user226528
So, I wrote a PowerShell script that can download all updates for a given product from a WSUS server.
 
user226528
Of course, it is rickety right now.
 
user226528
1:25 PM
It doesn't accept any input yet.
 
user226528
One has to modify it to download what one wants.
 
Nice
snow snow snow
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek ozbargain.com.au/node/363858 it's almost like IPS... actually maybe worse
 
but cake!
 
Oh god oh god oh god. I commented on a Youtube video :-|
 
1:35 PM
LOLOL
sooooo there was snow like that a few minutes ago here @FMLCat
then i turned around and now it's blazing sunshine
 
@Bob IPS?
All I'm seeing is a thread about cakegate
 
@Bob Oh
I thought you meant IPS displays
 
Bob
lol
 
They don't taste as nice as cake
 
1:41 PM
@FMLCat you're missing out, IPS is where all the drama is
 
No, but I do have one that's worse
 
after lifehacks has basically died.
because there is no life hacks, only bodges, or proper ways of doing stuff.
 
Why did lifehacks die?
Ah
 
@bertieb have you ever seen a good 'lifehack' ?
 
Almost certainly
 
1:42 PM
plz share
 
Can anyone access hetzner.de?
 
@FMLCat yes
 
Ah now it works
Their entire network seemed down for a few minutes there
 
you on 4G?
 
Yeah
 
1:44 PM
Eh, difficult to recall it; any LHs that are actually relevant and useful would be incorporated into actual way of doing things
 
Not that it matters... everything else was fine.
 
We have a client at Edinburgh airport who's 4G is fooked by weather I presume.
@bertieb exactly.
Just bodges because can't afford proper solution, or don't have access to proper solution
 
My 4G's fine seeing as I can chat in here, as well as access Youtube, BBC, and Google...
 
Bob
so how's the snowpocalypse going
 
:O
finished again.
 
1:45 PM
@djsmiley2k But what's wrong with that?
 
But anyway, it seems fixed. Couldn't access my server, or Hetzner's homepage, or their billing infrastructure
I've seen plenty of good life hacks
Like that one about cable tidies
 
Person does something inefficiently/expensively/etc → reads 'lifehack' → does things differently
You could say that they should have been doing this differently in the first place
 
@Bob its an IPS HNQ - not on IPS ;p
 
inefficiently/expensively/etc ==doing it wrong ?
 
But the LH helped them change their approach
 
1:46 PM
Ooh wow, in-screen fingerprint sensors finally exist on the market
Course the Galaxy S9 doesn't have it... waiting for the S10 now?
 
@djsmiley2k Not necessarily, see NASA's approach to software development
 
@FMLCat I'd have waited for one of my phone hadn't broken ;p. Apparently vivo has one - so chances are it'll filter up to a oneplus...
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek lol, halfway through it I had to double-check which site I was on
 
@JourneymanGeek Vivo is exactly what they're ripping apart in that video to see how it works
 
I have no sound, why did they crack the screen o_O
 
1:48 PM
@djsmiley2k "durability test"
 
Durability test?? I'll get me hammer...
 
apparently all I need is my pocket... and my room mate if that fails...
 
Roommate ate your homework device, you say
 
broke it the second time. Got overexcited and stepped on it....
 
Ah (and aww)
On a completely different note; sites that override scrolling and zoom should be taken out back (or to the outback) and shot
 
1:51 PM
(switched back to using a case with a front cover on my old phone, after fixingf it again... and... I use it with... even more padding on sunday/dog run days ;p
 
Then buried, dug up, and shot again
 
So apparently it's just a camera sensor glued to the back of an AMOLED display...
 
@FMLCat more or less. and modern fingerprint scanners look suspeciously like camera sensors...
 
How the heck did they take 3 years to make it... work?
 
@JourneymanGeek My OP3 case is getting a bit dog-eared after a, er, $time of use
 
1:52 PM
@FMLCat cause it needs to see through the gaps in your AMOLED display
@bertieb oh, I ordered a new one and a screen protector... a little too close to CNY so its going to take a while
 
@JourneymanGeek Because transparent AMOLED displays haven't been around for eight years...
 
@JourneymanGeek I was going to take a photo of my case + screen protector, but then my brain told me that I couldn't use my phone to do that :P
 
the OP5T has a spriggan case (which is pretty cushiony) and a sacrificial tempered glass screen protector...
@bertieb mine's literally the standard, dirt cheap flip cover one..
good protection but I hate flip covers ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek Think mine's the same? It says "designed by OnePlus" so I'm guessing its theirs
 
@FMLCat well, I guess getting accurate us hard
@bertieb naw, got it off DX
 
1:55 PM
Oh right okay
Well the OP one has done the job for... as long as I've had it
 
@JourneymanGeek Yet Vivo manages to do it using a Samsung display, while neither Samsung or Apple could do it?
 
I was running it caseless a whole, which was part of the problem
@FMLCat and a really new synaptics sensor
 
@JourneymanGeek Caseless is device damage waiting to happen :P
Like no backups is data loss waiting to happen
 
@JourneymanGeek Plenty of new Synaptics sensors in Samsung phones as it is... and the S9 isn't even out yet so...
 
1:56 PM
@FMLCat at the same time, if it dosen't work perfectly...
there's a good reason its not on a oppo or OP...
 
@JourneymanGeek Ah similar then; the OP one has no latch nor stand tho
 
@JourneymanGeek Plenty of broken shit not working properly on Samsung flasghip phones too...
Bixby button anyone?
 
@FMLCat and catching fire...
 
The OP5T looks lovely but 500 earth pounds is more than I can justify while poor :P
 
S9 apparently starts at £760...
 
1:58 PM
this is the replacement caase
@bertieb I fixed my op3 twice...
kinda didn't make sense to pour more money into it
 
I was tempted to buy one when they moved the rear fingerprint sensor to a marginally less retarded location, but now I've seen Sony phones have them in a much better position again and even small brands managed to get working in-screen sensors I'm not touching Samsung with a bargepole till they fix that shit properly
 
@FMLCat back sensors kinda work?
 
@JourneymanGeek If you can reach them
 
I need to set up the dodgy face unlock things for shits and giggles
@FMLCat heh, works for me.
 
There's a reason the biggest 3 phone manufacturers haven't put any sensors on the back until Samsung botched it
