@DavidPostill Most girls are waterproof. AFAIK.

@ThatBrazilianGuy It's particularly fun when you get a particularly jumpy girl who gets wet between the legs and squeezes really hard when you go fast
0_o"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Or one that reflexively grabs your boobs if you corner really fast
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface you are actually creepier than most guys i know....

14:02
@Burgi This is the internet, where creepy people come to compete to one-up each others' creepyness!
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface I'll have to take your word on that, no one ever grabbed my boobs.
fair point
...so this is the weird part of Root Access
@ThatBrazilianGuy depends on how much water.
I just can't find motorcycles for rent that are short enough for someone of my ... vertically challenged proportions
14:04
@allquixotic Naw, its just @Caterina'Catty'McCatface
.... which is the wierd part of root access
RA is the weird part of root access.
Hey, don't give me all the credit
that face
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface naw, just all the blame.
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS IS"
14:05
@allquixotic I think the cat's in a permanant food coma
do the japanese not make smaller bikes? sorry if that is racist, it wasn't meant to be
(and heh, I'm trying to get the roomie back on regular/longer walks and smaller portions. He's up to 10kg, and its being a strain on his bad leg)
@Burgi Oddly, no. They seem to make larger bikes for the EU/US market
They tend to only sell the smaller sizes in Asia
14:07
and my parents are away, and he realises I'm mostly immune to his charms when it comes to treats.
@Burgi I think they tried bonsai bikes, but the bikes turned out pretty hard to cut.
lol
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface could you import direct from japan?
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface that's one long cat.
Tell him he's a good cat. And a pretty cat.
14:08
I will feed him. >:|
@Burgi Dunno, half the time the asian models don't have any english manuals available
pffft!
@allquixotic Google suggests the term "Infinite cat"
why is a Klingon allergic to an Earth-based animal?
who needs a manual?
14:09
@Burgi if you're operating a life or death machine, it's generally a good idea to read the manual
I read every word (except the Legalese, which I skimmed) in my 2015 Prius c's manual.
i didn't read the manual for any of my cars
or my moped
I learned a lot about how to properly operate a hybrid - little nuances, like, don't let it roll backwards when in "D" or roll forwards when in "R" because it can break the hybrid motor-generator
@allquixotic "Warning: Not reading this legalese will cause you to be legally responsible for any and all murders this vehicle commits when the legalese is not recited upon dismounting"
and what order to apply the parking brake
and how to keep the engine from coming on when driving a low speeds
hybrids... pffft
14:11
How to operate a motorbike: Roll in any direction at any time
How to apply the parking brake: There isn't one
> I will drive it. -Worf, regarding his loan of allquixotic's Prius
Perhaps that will be enough.
Worf pulls off and crashes into a telephone pole
Why would Worf want to drive a Prius when he can fly the damn Enterprise
Or fire a torpedo at his destination and teleport himself on board
i will concede there is an argument to read the manual for how to operate the entertainment system
"how to keep the engine from coming on when driving a low speeds": Use the engine cut-off switch
maybe because he's stranded in Maryland in 2016 and he needs to go to Alameda where the nuclear wessels are to get some plutonium to regenerate the Klingon crystals so he can go back to his time
14:13
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface because he can.
Now, any man who drives into battle in a tata nano... clearly fears nothing.
@allquixotic worf grew up in ukraine
@allquixotic He just needs to "wait" for temporal security agents to come undo his existence to prevent any contamination of the timeline and/or violation of the temporal prime directive.
one of MANY of my favorite Star Trek IV clips
the enterprise (carrier) was named AFTER the enterprise (starship) so that is a bit odd
@Burgi The Enterprise (starship) was named AFTER the Enterprise (boatship)
14:16
@Burgi wrooooooong
USS Enterprise (CV-6), was the seventh U.S. Navy vessel to bear the name. Colloquially referred to as the "Big E", she was the sixth aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. A Yorktown-class carrier, she was launched in 1936 and was one of only three American carriers commissioned prior to World War II to survive the war (the others being Saratoga and Ranger). She participated in more major actions of the war against Japan than any other US ship. These actions included the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, various other air-sea engagements...
that ship, among others, was given the name "Enterprise" before Star Trek even existed
true
Eight ships of the United States Navy have been named Enterprise with a ninth announced: == See also == Enterprise (disambiguation), for additional topics related to these ships' namesake USS Enterprise (BLDG 7115), commissioned building (27 May 2005 – June 2011) Enterprise, a steamboat that participated in the Battle of New Orleans Enterprise, a J-class racing yacht that won the America's Cup in 1930 USTS Kennedy (T-AK-5059), former USTS Enterprise (2003–2008) HMS Enterprise, any of fifteen ships of the British Royal Navy == References... ==
Fifteen ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Enterprise (or HMS Enterprize) while another was planned: HMS Enterprise (1705) was a 24-gun sixth rate, previously the French frigate L'Entreprise, captured in May 1705. She was wrecked in October 1707. HMS Enterprise (1709) was a 44-gun fifth rate launched in 1709. She underwent a great repair in 1718-19, was hulked in 1740 and fitted as a hospital ship in 1745 before being sold in 1749. HMS Liverpool (1741), a 44-gun frigate, was to have been named Enterprise, but was renamed five months before her launch in 1741. HMS Enterprize (1743) was...
The Brits named their ships the Enterprise before the US even existed!
i was about to mention the enterprize
coughs the french
In Star Trek Online, in your fleet starbase there's actually a decorative wall that shows all the enterprises in chronological order
14:18
The shuttle enterprise was named after the other starship though
which was probably named after the shuttle...
@allquixotic the brits have awesome ship names.
sadly CVN-65 is being scrapped instead of being made a museum
(A tradition we stole ;) )
the nuclear carrier was named after the starship...
probably too costly to decommission the nuclear wessel safely
14:19
they should really preserve the USS Nimitz, though
awesome ship
Bob
Bob
lol
the reactors in nuclear subs and other ships are self-contained
they are effectively plug and play
Bob
Bob
@allquixotic I went through the US and UK carriers in WWII while bored the other day :P
You know a bike means business when the speedo goes up to 300km/h
Or 190MPH
Bob
Bob
Spent a good bit of time reading their wiki pages
14:20
Damn 186 mph electronic limiters
@Burgi how did the interview go?
wasn't an american businessman trying to buy one of the old nuke carriers to convert it into a cruise ship?
@JourneymanGeek it went ok
i'll know by tuesday
it was more a traditional interview, asking about my interests and experience etc
As opposed to asking about your pets and sex life?
we talked about spaceships
if you apply for MOD jobs they ask about your sex life
14:25
its so you can't be compromised by being secretly gay or something
There's the uhh... history of the Enterprise wall from Star Trek Online
Is this an interview or a star trek fan club?
they are the same pictures from the opening credits to enterprise
@Burgi The last two aren't!
Bob
Bob
@Burgi iirc the idea is that they know everything so nothing can be used to blackmail you by threatening to reveal <info>
14:28
@JCTechie "Are you seeing if I'm a replicant or a lesbian mr dekard?"
If you go round the other side there's a couple ships that didn't exist in the Star Trek canon and only in the game
true but they are on the wall of captain archers office
@bob, thats sort of what i said
@JourneymanGeek No....
More seriously, hobbies are a pretty handy way to see if someone's a good cultural fit
I mean, one of the things I check if I get an interview is if they're dog friendly...
(granted, most office buildings here arn't)
I bet this Archer dude didn't have pictures of all the ships FROM THE FUTURE!
14:31
no but he did get to spend time on the enterprise J
Yeah yeah
That ugly flat fake mofo of a ship doesn't deserve the name Enterprise!
there is a mini ale festival at the masonic hall but no-one wants to go :(
@Caterina'Catty'McCatface "We have to look at your loyalty, honesty and reliability, and whether you could be particularly vulnerable to bribery of blackmail. We will question you about your wider family background (relationships and influences), past experiences (if any) of drug taking, financial affairs, general political views (though not which Party you support), hobbies, foreign travel and so on."
"i'm pretty liberal and easy going but i don't think the french should be the only country in europe with nukes"
@Burgi Hmm. Ukraine (Eastern Europe) also has nukes.
no they gave them up
> Ukraine also pursued full nuclear disarmament, giving up the third largest nuclear weapons stockpile in the world
@Burgi You believe that? Ukraine had agreed to dispose of all nuclear weapons within its territory, with the condition that its borders were respected, as part of the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances.
Ukraine (/juːˈkreɪn/; Ukrainian: Україна, tr. Ukraina [ukrɑˈjinɑ]) is a sovereign country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Russia to the east and northeast, Belarus to the northwest, Poland and Slovakia to the west, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova to the southwest, and the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to the south and southeast, respectively. Ukraine is currently in territorial dispute with Russia over the Crimean Peninsula which Russia annexed in 2014 but which Ukraine and most of the international community recognise as Ukrainian. Including Crimea, Ukraine has an area of 603,628 km2 (233,062 sq mi)...
"Since the spring of 2014 the border has been compromised due to the 2014–present Russian military intervention in Ukraine. In 2014, the Ukrainian government unveiled a plan to build a defensive walled system along the border with Russia, named "Project Wall". It would cost almost $520 million, take four years to complete and has been under construction as of 2015"
yeah but they no longer have the soviet made nuclear missiles
the "alleged" russian involvement in the civil war means that it is russia that is not respecting the budapest agreement
14:51
@Burgi And they could have sneaked in a nuke or two without anybody noticing ...
but they wouldn't be ukrainian nukes
@Burgi How do you know they haven't been captured? You think the Ukranians would tell everybody? ;)
i know you are trolling me.... but yeah they would as they would want the global political pressure to HUGELY increase on moscow
@Burgi Finally you figured it out ;)
i was sort of waiting for the "technically russia is in continental europe"
14:55
As an aside, can anybody translate "abdullahkhurramaslammehar na farmaya tou foolishhai"?
hm
someone might. But it sounds like gibberish
0
A: How do I enable the integrated speakers on my monitor?

abdullahabdullahkhurramaslammehar na farmaya tou foolishhai

looks a bit like hinglish
i can't be arsed today... 1st post review is feeling too much like work
i'm going to have an iced lolly
wee
~13000 rep to 100K
@Burgi if i get bored enough I might plough though it.
15:03
@JourneymanGeek ~1700 rep to 50K
@DavidPostill apprently 100K is a bit of a magic number
do you get access to the SE private jet at 100k?
@JourneymanGeek More swag isn't it?
pretty much more swag ;p
they actually send you free stuff?
15:07
Also, its a very big number, and I think I can give up bothering about rep at that point ;)
@Burgi yeah. I've got a waterbottle, a hoodie, a slightly crappy pen (used to be sharpies) and a half dozen t shirts from different sites from mod elections and contests
You also sometimes get swag for being a user on the first page of a graduated site I think
not gotten any for SR
5
A: There should be system to send users gifts like free stickers

Monica CellioSE sends gifts to people occasionally, for major milestones or for contests. Recently Stack Overflow celebrated its ten-millionth question and there were opportunities to get goodies related to that. When a beta site graduates and gets its design, top users (about 72 of them) get bundles of swa...

"Users who reach 100k reputation get something. Moderators get t-shirts as thanks for volunteering their time."
You used to get a t shirt for standing in the election
I think its winners only now, cause someone abused it.
(I got AU and SF T shirts from that ;p)
AU?
@JourneymanGeek They sat down? ;)
ah ok
15:14
@DavidPostill stood for every single election they could.
And totally did a trump before trump stood for election in every one ;)
seems like an easy way to get free t-shirts
I had a semi reasonable outside chance of winning, and/or was asked to stand in those
Yeah
SU elections was fun.
My election stump was essentially "I'm on vacation. Yes I'm standing. Kthx"
i was probably a member but totally ignored the election
lol
certain people in the chatroom were bugging me (and the then mods) about it ;p
(And I guess I did ok ;p)
yeah i'd want chilled out, easy going, firm but fair mods
and i think you tick those boxes
15:18
yup.
(also, I'm on good terms with mods elsewhere, and I'm on chat a lot)
if @DavidPostill or @benn were to stand, they would probably get my vote too for similar reasons
BenN
i was eating an iced lolly, the shift key was too far away
they seem to have elections over on scifi.SE a lot with allsorts of crazy politics
15:24
bit of a mess there
Rand's actually a decent mod from what I've seen
internet drama!
from what i gather a mod said something to another mod that a 3rd party took out context and resulted in a flamewar
then i think 2 or 3 mods quit because of it
i lost interest
if they turn it into a film i might watch it...
0o
oh... k
this is much more drama than I was aware of
ahh ok
I knew about Richard
DVK, less so

Q: Into exile I must go

DVK-in-exile"Ahch-To". No, you did not need to say "Gesundheit". However, if you didn't, you're getting off light according to Loki. I have grown intensely jealous of a certain elusive Jedi who had taken several years of relaxing and staring at rocks while everyone in the Galaxy was doing actual work. Ap...

15:31

A: Have we had ANY professionals participate in SFF?

DVK-in-exileWhile there's no proof of identity, I'm aware of at least one (Danny Rubin posted an answer to How long was Bill Murray's character supposed to be in a time loop in the film "Groundhog Day"? ) We can probably count @TangoOversway, who stated that he wrote scripts to be submitted to Star Trek (th...

tbh its mostly stuff i've been able to piece together from meta posts and profile links
I just need to answer something on the avengers or antman and I count!
count as what?
as a SFF professional? ;p
We might have also worked on the huntsman when I was there
ah ok
i'd make a terrible mod
i'm politically insensitive, prone to drunken posting and more likely to get angry at people being idiotic children and banning everyone
next election i'm going to stand on that platform ;)
Bob
Bob
15:38
Ahhhh it's always fun when the other team accuses you of hacking :P
lol
someone already did that
stop hacking
Bob
Bob
I've occasionally considered nominating myself, but I'm happy just commenting with my opinions without any real weight :P
Also, I'd have to do a lot more mod-type actions before trying anyway.
@Bob lol
15:41
@Bob lol. You seem to apply lots of weight when proving me wrong ;)
he lifts
I think allq was going to nominate himself and something happened half way.
Bob
Bob
@DavidPostill shrug lacking the more 'official' weight of a diamond though :P
@jokerdino He didn't like competing like that, IIRC.
yeah
elections occationally get a little ugly
Bob
Bob
Also, unless people tell me otherwise, I'm safer assuming no one really wants me in that position :P
Is there an election planned? Why are we talking about this now?
Bob
Bob
15:43
Dunno. I just dropped in mid-conversation.
@Bob go for it. At least for HTH's sake.
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino ? o.O
@jokerdino my fault
Bob
Bob
tbh I'd probably be doing more as a chat mod than main site... not too much main site participation these days
not as far as I know ;p
15:45
@Bob in case there is an election, I wouldn't mind voting for you. One more person to tease HTH.
you and allq, that is.
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino Gee, what a vote of confidence...
I think I'd vote for you or @allquixotic ;p
OK, let me start over again. Bob, I think you will make a great mod. You have helped me plenty of times even when it was near sleep time for you. Go Bob!
when i was at high school there was a school election to coincide with the 97 general election
15:47
here its as needed
flag queues seem fine (most of the unhandled ones at the moment are stuff I'm too sleepy to handle)
Bob
Bob
@jokerdino Helping with tech issues isn't the same as mod, though.
Honestly, I think @DavidPostill might make a good one.
at the start there were 5 kids standing, then they all dropped out apart from 1 guy who was "the most popular kid in school"
Bob
Bob
Even though I don't always agree with his policies :P
its undemocratic to have uncontested elections
@Bob you don't always agree with mine either ;p
Bob
Bob
15:49
true
I tend to be more, ah... lenient?
@Bob they are two different statements
Bob
Bob
Might be cause I don't see as many of the shittier posts => less jaded
so me, the most unpopular kid in school, threw my hat in the ring
Did ya win @burgi?
Bob
Bob
@Burgi And won? :P
15:50
lol no
I hope you got the hat back at least.
i didn't even vote for me
2
the cult of personality was rife in my high school
Before SU election, JMG took his chance pretty much everywhere else in the network.
yup
two reasons, one, people were like "We'd like to keep (person) out of the primaries"
tho on AU, EC got disqualified
also, I figured it would give me a little experience
sometimes, I wonder how I got elected.
15:52
which of course was totally unhelpful when I stood for SU elections ;p
@jokerdino hanging chad
(I was in india after my gran broke her hip, and I has slightly shitty internet access)
@Burgi Nooo
:)
poor chad.
hanging chad, fire at will ....
15:56
do the SE elections follow a proportional representation system or something else entirely?
a fair system
The single transferable vote (STV) is a voting system designed to achieve proportional representation through ranked voting in multi-seat constituencies (voting districts). Under STV, an elector (voter) has a single vote that is initially allocated to their most preferred candidate and, as the count proceeds and candidates are either elected or eliminated, is transferred to other candidates according to the voter's stated preferences, in proportion to any surplus or discarded votes. The exact method of reapportioning votes can vary (see Counting methods). The system provides approximately p...

@Burgi what're you waiting for?
yardarm, etc
i seen a user's folder created on my laptop's OS's user profiles folder
is it correct to assume that my OS would had cached credentials of the user ?
a domain controlled PC?
its interesting when people choose to lie....
I had put paragraphs in it , but stackoverflow deletes all the new lines and spaces etc ,it just merges all the lines to make it look small.Anyways i will fix this thing in a day or so — Vaibhav Chhabra 33 mins ago
@Burgi yes
should be cached then, assuming the PC is disconnected from the network
18:12
@Burgi i tried mimikatz, its not showing that account
is there anyway i could see who's cred r cached
even without wanting to know password
@Burgi I did not have sexual relations with that woman
reserves judgement to wait for the DNA evidence
should we believe u ?
18:20
@Developer i'm not familiar with mimikatz to comment
plus i need pizza
@Burgi really
its 1 of most famous
lol
maybe they were playing it using a controller rather than the correct mouse/keyboard combination
I suspect this video explain why Poligon was singing such praise to Gone Home and similar crap - they have fired anyone who actually knew how to play
i can't play FPS with a controller, but I can hold my own if i can use the mouse/kb

yup
the bats are flying much closer to the house than normal
i'm probably going to have to close the window so i don't get a bat in the house
... again
lol
I don't think ive ever even seen a bat...
o.O
they are super cute
like winged insect munching mice
they have insane agility/aerobatics (no pun intended)
birds tend to have flowing looping flight, not many rapid changes in direction
bats turn tighter and change direction in a totally different way
wow...
yes they also do the flowing flight as it uses less energy but they can change the direction much much faster than birds
let me find my video and upload it to youtube
20:03
you... don't have to
unless you hev a gigabit connection in which case you totally do
i think i filmed it upright. total sin i know BUT in my defense i was totally dealing with something outside my experience
ETA 5 mins
are there not many bats in india?
Not is the urban areas as far as I know
o.O
there are two videos, first is my freak out video
second is the bat failing to leave my house for THREE HOURS
the video isn't 3 hrs long but that is how long it took to find the open door
20:19
lol
so... your real name is john?
yeah
no!
its.... BATMAN
i created my youtube channel after they changed the rules and forced you to use your real name
20:23
Wait, so all the fake accounts I have are illegal? ;P
i couldn't be arsed messing about fudging it
i'm not very good with videos as i sound like an absolute arse
20:55
I don't think you have to use your real name anymore.
i should have bought red bull at lunch
Now we in now where Burgi 's name comes from the

How much is your head worth?
not as much as yours
22:00
£250?
£100?
£50?
sounds about right
anyone got a steam controller?
if so are they worth it?
i only ask because i am not a huge fan of the crazy ass 3rd party drivers i have to use to get the PS3 controller working
is it sad that i just spent a gorgeous friday night watching youtube, playing quake and getting drunk because all my friends have "families" now and NEVER go out
23:19
@DavidPostill i've just review a minor edit to one of your posts and it got me thinking.... why on earth do you not teach? because your post are really good, clear, concise and in a language anyone can understand.
23:45
dude thats out of order
sigh
Totally
\o/ teasers for killjoys, dark matter and the expanse
and two of them are canadian, and such fairly immune to sudden death.
the expanse? season 2?
I have just been restarted! This happens daily automatically, or when my owner restarts me. Ready for commands.
yup
well the expanse one wasn't a teaser as much as a casting mention in an interview
but after years of getting no good sci fi at all, that three shows I enjoyed have another season is a win
