4:01 PM
@ThatREDACTEDGuy Firefox Send: For the most reliable operation, it’s best to keep your file under 1GB
 
Yeah, saw that.
 
@allquixotic How did you take that screenshot?
 
20 mins ago, by allquixotic
and she grabbed me with her paw to stop me moving
RIP allq.
 
4:31 PM
@RogUE want me to host? I'm in UK....
tho actually only 600Kb/s upload max
 
needs more jpeg
 
@ThatREDACTEDGuy what I prefer to do in those situations is to zip the file and split the zip into 10+ parts, so i can download with 10 streams simultaneously
Weird. Imgur showing borked jpegs now if you don't add fidelity tags to the url
 
Actually maybe I just rmeember this
So there was no swimming
but Bruce Pennens as a kid, got into the room with the pool in it XD
 
> I remember this incident clearly, but I am at a loss to explain how it happened.
Maybe the brain damage from the radiation got your memory.
 
4:38 PM
lol
SNOW (no snow here :(
 
Nor here
@djsmiley2k doesn't look like a picture a kid could take with a 1970's smartphone camera.
 
picture is not from same happening
 
4:51 PM
@FMLCat He's showing the blue glow referred to in the wiki page.
@djsmiley2k Ask @ThatREDACTEDGuy, I do not need it cause I recently made the switch to Linux. Besides, I really don't like Win8
 
We had the lightest dusting of snow out in the sticks up here, but it was only barely discernible
 
Whoops
hit wrong person when replying XD
we hda snow coming down pretty violently
but nothing settled, sun came out
now it's clear agian
:/
3 minutes. |TILLLLLL HOME TIME.
/me sings
 
Is there an easy way to disable the "notification" notifacation from sites in Chrome. Nevermind I think I figured it out. chrome://settings/content/notifications let's see if it works
 
@djsmiley2k Well, it's got 45 min left and I have a meeting starting in 5 minutes.
Yay a meeting (said no one, ever, in the history of humankind)
 
5:03 PM
In our meetings, we get nice snacks.

The Goiânia accident makes for sad reading :(
I didn't realise Thine Own Self was based on a real incident
 
5:36 PM
@CanadianLuke - You around?
 
5:48 PM
@JohnP Yup, what's up?
Anyone with the Windows 10 Feedback App still installed? I need to make a big suggestion to Microsoft
 
i do
didn't know you could remove it tbh
also why have they reinstalled the us keyboard layout again, feckheads.
 
@CanadianLuke - Since you're a mod on freelance, and Startups closed, would it be an ok question to ask about how far back before EIN filing you can assign training costs as a business expense?
 
@djsmiley2k Can you submit a suggestion that an option is enabled to add a number label to the first 9 items in the taskbar? I know <kbd>Windows</kbd>+<kbd>1-9</kbd> will launch / switch to that window, but after 4 or 5, I need to count to figure out which program will launch with which number
@JohnP If you're a freelancer, and you're not asking about freelancing websites to get work, then it's usually always on topic. Just make sure it's not strictly a legal question, as some of the community frowns upon questions based solely on legal advice
 
@CanadianLuke It's definitely freelance, but probably not web/digital based other than I will ahve a website. I am going to be teaching self defense seminars as a sideline, with a "doors open" date of April 1 this year. I had training for this at our National tournament in Feb, as well as at Worlds last year.
 
Congrats! What I mean though, is if you are asking questions about websites like Freelancer.com, that would be off topic :P Your own website is fine
 
5:56 PM
kk. I'll post it up in a bit. Moah meetings to attend. :(
 
submitted @CanadianLuke
 
Thanks
 
there's a freelancing se, where you can't talk about the main freelancing site?
That's like SU banning questions about the command su
 
@djsmiley2k Freelancer.com is a 3rd party site, used for connecting freelancers with clients. They deal with the contracts, hold funds in escrow, handle the disputes between customers, etc. It's very different from the Freelancing.SE site, as 90% of the questions about the other Freelance sites is "how do I get unbanned" or "how do I get started"
 
hmmm
same way arqade got 90% of questions about minecraft being 'plez unban me'
that's life unofrtunately, but outright banning questiosn on it, is odd
it'd be like webapps banning questions about facebook's api's
because people ask how to get unbanned on facebook there.
 
6:40 PM
@djsmiley2k Well, you're free to join Freelancing.SE, gain rep, then recommend the community allows the questions
 
7:07 PM
I'm not sure if it's a bug in GitHub, Putty, both, and if it fits SuperUser SE. Please review. Please comment there if migration is needed:

Q: Copy-paste into Putty results in dots instead tabulations

user9303970I use Windows 10 and SSHing into a remote Ubuntu 16.04 machine with Putty. I copy pasted the following code from my personal GitHub account into the Putty session: cat <<-EOF >> "$HOME"/.bashrc export s_a="/etc/nginx/sites-available" export s_e="/etc/nginx/sites-enabled" export drt=...

 
7:34 PM
@bertieb I haven't watched this one yet
 
7:49 PM
Note: saves will not transfer into the full game.
welp. I'm getting a proper 240 Mbps here.
(ISP promised 200/5)
And that's with a less-than-optimal modem (have an 8x4 modem, ISP recommends 16x4)
 
nice
 
le sigh
The GPU shortage is only going to worsen due to high DRAM demand.
Note that AMD has said essentially the same thing:
Jan 31 at 20:16, by bwDraco
As for the graphics card shortage, AMD is limited by availability of graphics memory, both GDDR5 and HBM2. Availability of the GPU silicon per se isn't the bottleneck.

8:07 PM
Hmm... So far, the dumbest thing I've said in this chat room today has received two stars.
 
lol
 
By the gods, we have run out of framebuffer!
(~10800 MB graphics memory usage at the car-pushing cutscene)
~70 fps, everything maxed out at 1440p on an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Elite.
Well... I guess even 11 GB isn't enough graphics memory. Only a matter of time before some framebuffer data gets pushed to system memory.
 
8:23 PM
lol
 
user226528
I wouldn't bother playing any game at higher than 1080p.
 
my eytes don't do higher than 800x600
 
user226528
Also, I really prefer 24fps or 48fps.
 
8:50 PM
@FleetCommand Make that three.
 
Any UK experts on getting a will written up for someone who can't afford anything, has cancer and 4 months to live?
 
9:07 PM
I gotta have 60 fps or higher. Anything lower and its noticeable.
 
9:36 PM
@djsmiley2k :-\ There are places (nonprofits) that do wills for free, not sure why
 
FFS @Burgi @DavidPostill @FMLCat still no snow
 
I know AIUK (Amnesty International UK) send out a periodic reminder
 
@djsmiley2k its not going to snow
 
@bertieb yeah charity things, we're gonna try set her up with one, but she's stuck in hospital
 
And there are ads for a service like that on Classic FM IIRC
In theory there are standard form things you can download
And get witnessed
But depends how complex potential estate will be
Some insurance policies (home, car) can include will service or offer as an add-on
Ah yes
March is 'Free Wills Month'
 
9:40 PM
Grrrr I can’t find my AX1200 cable pack and I have no molex connectors in my case atm so I can’t install the fucking cooling fan
 
@djsmiley2k Stop whinging. We have no snow either. Liverpool hasn't had any proper snow since 2010 :/
 
Bob
morn
 
@Bob I looked all over my house and can’t find the fucking cable pack for my AX1200 and the cable packs online are ridiculously expensive
I’m close to just buying an AX1200i
 
@DavidPostill Brazilians and Egyptians probably don't enjoy snow and LFC needs to look after their international stars. ;)
 
I found a power supply to molex cable, but it’s not pin shape compatible with the AX1200
Probably from a much older PSU
 
Bob
9:50 PM
o.o
 
found it on corsair's website for 8 bucks... Amazon doesn't seem to offer them
 
@MichaelFrank If I liked football I would have a witty response, but I don't so I don't ;)
 
10:17 PM
@DavidPostill Are you at least into Cricket?
 
10:40 PM
@bertieb Thing that it doesn't address (and what I wonder about) is if the water absorbs all that radiation, does it not become radioactive itself like that rod thing that the dude picked up?
@allquixotic I probably have one spare tbh
It'd probably cost me more than $8 to ship it to you though
 
@FMLCat Water doesn't become radioactive that way AIUI
(though Randall or physics.se could give a much more definitive answer)
 
@ThatREDACTEDGuy I did. Sometimes we have cakes

Q: Does water absorb neutrons?

aquireWater is used as a shielding material in nuclear reactors. What's its function as a shield? Does it absorb neutrons and is there a reaction between water and neutrons?

 
The Naked Scientists (SFW) podcast has a question on how water becomes radioactive but the tl;dr of it is radioactive stuff dissolves in it
 
@FMLCat They had water and coffee. I don't drink coffee.
 
10:44 PM
Or what about fragments or dust from the fuel rods going into suspension in the water
@ThatREDACTEDGuy Ours always have tea as an alternative to coffee
 
@FMLCat Those should settle to the bottom, being denser than water, but almost certainly a hazard they are aware of when designing such things
 
Everyone and everything and everywhere in the UK has tea.
 
@MichaelFrank Aye, the tl;dr of that is 'water is a poor shield but we use it because we can easily make it thick'
 
@ThatREDACTEDGuy My flat has no tea in it
@bertieb Interesting, thanks
 
10:48 PM
No probs! Their discussion touches on the issue of 'stuff getting in the water' as you rightly speculated
 
Curious. If water does a good job of slowing down neutron radiation to the point it's not really radiation, just thermal neutrons, wouldn't the water end up full of just random free neutrons floating about?
Oh never mind, read further down. They decay.
Somehow the best answer is at the bottom with zero score
Let's fix that
@djsmiley2k Lol I had an old friend from England yesterday who said he couldn't tell if I was trolling or not when I said we never get snow in Edinburgh
 
11:40 PM
@Bob lol, I stuck a loose 80mm case fan underneath the heat sink for the 81605ZQ and it's back down to 49C operating temp
it doesn't even seem to need the impeller
 
Bob
@allquixotic that's what I was originally trying to suggest :P
the impeller just looked neater
 
11:53 PM
oh, I'll get the impeller in there, once my molex connector for the AX1200 comes in the mail... and I'll also be adding one more case fan
