12:08 AM
@Ohnana That's because cars are also important social markers since they allow men to display their manhood to woo females; whereas guns are... oh. Nevermind.
 
@ThomasPornin That only applies for certain cars. I don't think a prius has ever been bought with the intention to "woo"
 
I used a Prius to bag my wife.
 
@MarkBuffalo Why would you need a bag ? The Prius has a large enough trunk already.
 
@ThomasPornin So she couldn't escape.
 
@ThomasPornin The bag is so he can't see her face. If it's bad enough he can put one on his head in case hers falls off.
 
12:10 AM
@DavidFreitag You have just sealed your fate as an e-murder victim.
 
Awwww yiss
 
murders @DavidFreitag on the internet
 
Too late I committed seppuku a few weeks back
 
Dammit.
@ThomasPornin I would like to connect with you on LinkedIn if this is acceptable in your sight
 
@MarkBuffalo On LinkedIn I am connected with dozens (or maybe hundreds) of people that I don't know at all.
 
12:12 AM
I see two Pornins
 
You are the first who thinks about asking before.
 
I do not like to intrude
 
@MarkBuffalo I am pretty sure that I am not a "banking consultant and contractor".
 
Haha, well you do work for a bank
@ThomasPornin Sent a ping
 
@MarkBuffalo I have no idea what you mean by a "ping".
 
12:18 AM
@ThomasPornin Request on linkedin
 
@ThomasPornin It's one of those adult toys. I'd expect it in the mail in the coming week or two.
 
@DavidFreitag No, I'd keep those for myself.
 
@MarkBuffalo Oh, you entered a fake name in LinkedIn. I understand. This is smart.
 
@ThomasPornin ;)
 
Actually... erhm... nevermind.
 
12:21 AM
That was too bad :x
 
@MarkBuffalo Well, you now are my 163th connection. Say hello to the previous 162.
 
Ah I missed it.
 
@MarkBuffalo HOW IS IT GOING ANTONY?
 
@RoryAlsop @RоryMcCune @Ohnana I would like to connect if you're up for it.
@Simon DAMMIT
@Simon Would you like to connectzors?
 
@MarkBuffalo You are very promiscuous tonight.
 
12:25 AM
@ThomasPornin I know. My packets are available for many to see.
 
Literally has been trying to hide his identity ever since he joined the chat and he blew it all up in one evening.
 
Not trying to hide, just not outright revealing personal information in a chatroom
And Dovid has known almost all along
:b
 
Which is funny because I'm practically an open book
 
dovid da book
ok bye all
 
I don't see why people make such a fuss about their name.
 
12:29 AM
Bai Simon
 
It is easy to use your own name in any webforum; it suffices never to write anything shameful.
2
 
Indeed
 
@ThomasPornin Also, it is used to show to other men that you've got a bigger ween.
If my car's nicer than yours then my ween > yours
 
@Simon Yeah or maybe you're over compensating
@ThomasPornin Well the way I see it is my life is boring enough, any extra attention is a plus
 
@DavidFreitag But my new vehicle is so pretty :3
 
12:34 AM
@Simon More than just pretty :>
 
@Simon I've actually thought about getting the same model and color :x
It's really nice
 
@MarkBuffalo You can't fit a family in there.
 
@Simon And therein lies the problem. But we have a Minivan for the family.
 
Wow freaking progressive
"Notice of automatic coverage reduction"
@MarkBuffalo No, you really can't fit anyone in the rear seats
 
:[
@DavidFreitag Can I take out the front seat and sit in the back? For reasons.
 
12:35 AM
Unless your family has a few people without legs
@MarkBuffalo If you've got a spanner, sure
And as long as you're not a complete clattering buttock, you should be able to. Might need to trick the ECU into thinking the seat is plugged in though.
Also might have some 'splainin to do if you get pulled over
 
@DavidFreitag Well, that rules me out.
 
@ThomasPornin Hear hear.
@Simon Hang on, I missed this. What did you get?
 
@Xander Subaru BRZ
 
^
 
@Simon Nice! //cc: @MarkBuffalo
 
12:47 AM
lol @ cc
@ThomasPornin Full disclosure: I am not the cartoon character you also added along with me.
 
1:00 AM
why do you want to connect me
 
@Ohnana Don't worry. If you don't want to, I won't get butthurt
 
i have nothing on there
its just there so people know im a real person
 
Haha
 
if you know my profile, sure I'll get it when i log in next
 
@MarkBuffalo Hat tip for helping out. :-)
 
1:02 AM
also holy shit i am part of the brave beta test
 
@Xander Danke
 
yeaaaaaah boiiiiii
 
@Ohnana I do not know it. Kek
 
next time i am on desktop i will post it so i can delete
however if you can figure out my identity before then i will be very impressed and endorse you for things
 
@Ohnana I don't stalk people, but I could probably do that :b
@Ohnana :)
I do believe I've found you.
That took me all of 2 minutes
 
1:30 AM
Also, I didn't use any search engines to look for you
 
@MarkBuffalo cough twitter cough
 
1:47 AM
some ugly arsehole just tried to connect with me
weird
did you use twitter too?
 
Don't have twitter
Also wtf at uglym . That hurts lol
 
what did you use
lol I'm kidding relax
ees okay
 
how did you do eet
i want to know
 
1:51 AM
What the fuck David
Oh mama I'll tell you later about to drive
 
hrrrrrrg
also i love those dwarves
best character
 
2:07 AM
@AviD guy named ilia Rabinovitch
 
2:47 AM
@Ohnana WHERE'RE MY ENDORSEMENTS
 
@MarkBuffalo Nature's pocket.
 
@Ohnana So, do you want to know?
 
Heeey that's the same noise I make when I'm turned on.
 
Yay! Would that be good for a goal activation?
 
I wouldn't, you'd probably get sued
 
2:54 AM
Wasn't sure if it was real or fake
 
Dude Toby is such a sketchball
 
3:23 AM
@DavidFreitag This is one of the most depraved things I've seen in a while.
 
@MarkBuffalo I fucking love Oglaf
 
@DavidFreitag The uh, the part where he explodes the walls with his thing. It's... nuts
 
That one is gloriously SFW ^
 
3:52 AM
Wow there's less Oglaf than I thought there would be.
LOL, I followed Oglaf on Twitter and now twitter is suggesting David Attenborough
 
Who is David Attackbureau
This guy is awesome.
 
4:09 AM
 
4:28 AM
Freak
 
4:51 AM
@MarkBuffalo Oh you know it ( ͜ಠ ᴥ ͜ಠ )
 
 
2 hours later…
6:40 AM
@AviD Thanks. <3
 
 
2 hours later…
8:47 AM
@MarkBuffalo - oh, so you aren't that cartoon character? I'm de-linking you then! ;-P
 
9:01 AM
Read the comment on this question - possibly my favourite:
0
Q: How do i shapeshift myself to a snake in a video?

Nabarun KashyapWhat kind of advanced software will i need to shapeshift myself into a snake? Even if i can do it in a gif please let me know of the procedure..

 
9:16 AM
It's kind of disturbing when you look out of your office window and see someone taking their jumper off in the office across the road
 
10:09 AM
@RoryAlsop is that an acceptable question on VP? :O
 
why some moderators moderate more sites than others?
 
10:39 AM
because some are better at being nice to stupid people than others
 
10:55 AM
Stupid people didn't ask to be born dumb ...
 
11:16 AM
@RoryAlsop questions like this are the reason I stay away from the sound design site
 
@TelkittytheWebDeveloper free time, workload...
(insanity...)
 
11:48 AM
Nothing fancies me more than a insane stupid person ...
 
Heya
Hmmm... though shapeshift into a snake in a audio seems easier
 
@RoryAlsop :b Connect?! :D
 
12:02 PM
@M'vy "Greetingsssssssssssssssssss"
 
XD
 
12:24 PM
@kalina How do I make a sound that sounds like "unce unce unce"?
 
12:39 PM
So how do I shapeshift into a rabbit in an audio without someone explicitly saying so?
 
wevvy wevvy cafwwy....
 
@MarkBuffalo DID YOU SEE HIS NOSE?
WHAT KIND OF NOSE IS THAT?
 
@Simon Genetic deformity?
 
Poor man.
 
His deformity makes his nose, hands, feet, and erm, other things, quite large
 
12:42 PM
I didn't watch the video, I just saw his fugly nose in the thumbnail.
 
That's not nice.
 
 
1 hour later…
1:44 PM
@TildalWave I don't think so, however until the site has any sort of growth we are being quite lenient there...
 
@RoryAlsop you mean you had to restraint the tigger there ?
 
dohohoho
 
found a way to inject content into a webpage that's using https. it's so stupid though
 
@MarkBuffalo plz
 
2:02 PM
@Ohnana So was I right? Did I find you?
 
ya
 
let me tell you how... I'll send you a message on that place, so it isn't shown here
 
BCBS MI?
 
Oh, I have to pay for inMail to send you a message
Lol
 
wat
 
2:03 PM
since we aren't connected
 
fixed that
 
It's like if Markus just discovered linkedin.
 
Pretty much
 
@MarkBuffalo if you were one of the 7 people who sent me a LinkedIn request today without any supporting conversation, then I'm afraid you went straight in the spam bin...
 
fkin rekt
 
2:10 PM
@RoryAlsop Didn't send any requests. I ask permission first
 
That's cool - I just couldn't quite parse your statement up there ^
Wasn't sure if you had or were going to or something else
 
No worries
 
Feel free if you want to, though
 
@RoryAlsop His name is Antony and he's a cartoon.
 
@RoryAlsop Yep, that. :b
 
2:13 PM
Hmmmmm - now I really am suspicious. Which Antony and which cartoon - that is a question I never thought I would need to ask...
 
The Markus type of Antony.
And probably the Hulk type of cartoon.
 
Ahh - so not the one I have as a contact on LinkedIn then :-)
Today is an "all the technical failures" day
 
@RoryAlsop I'm not who Simon thinks I am
 
Had my work email upgraded from 50Mb to 5Gb last night - so obviously everything is now broken
 
50Mb?! Damn, that's tiny.
 
2:16 PM
twss
 
Yep - so there were many workarounds and scripts and active archiving etc. None of which now work, so despite now having 5Gb, it's filled already (as I needed to bring the archives back into the Exchange inbox structure)
And no archive functionality any more
 
Oh man
@RoryAlsop Nice soul patch, btw
 
Ah right, the Antony dude was already connected with roro.
Damn it.
I'll investigate further when I get home 2n8
If I think that Markus is worth 2 minutes of my time.
 
@Simon While it's not too difficult to find out who I am, I'd appreciate it if you withheld details from chat.
 
@MarkBuffalo You do realize that asking people to withhold is not the proper way to do opsec, right?
 
2:19 PM
I'm not doing "opsec," I'm asking you have a modicum of respect.
 
o pls
 
@MarkBuffalo have you sent an invitation? In the last twenty minutes or so? That'll help me narrow it down later on. I may accept at a random time - just to mess with @Simon :-)
 
!!!!!
 
@RoryAlsop Maybe :b
 
@Simon OpSec fun
 
2:27 PM
Maybe I should call the pls police.
 
@kalina It is a very odd community. Well, a couple of disparate communities, actually, who seem to dislike each other...
 
@RoryAlsop The answer in that thread seems pretty poor
Seems like that one comment with a reference to a book might be the best answer by far, and it's... it's a comment.
 
@TelkittytheWebDeveloper because we are suckers for punishment? Most moderate one site, to be fair...
 
Personally, I believe that those who should be punished the most are often mods and I've got an example that none of you will disagree with: ovid.
 
2:35 PM
Hahahaha
 
aw shit
 
Oooh - new mobile chat client is good!
Possibly better than ChatSEy
16
Q: Test the new mobile chat!

balphaRemember 2010, when smartphones looked like this?             Back then, we created a mobile version of chat, so that people could use the bare minimum of features on those and similar phones. Well waddayaknow, suddenly it's 2016, smartphones for some reason now look like this:             –...

2
Especially when managing the multiple chat rooms I use all the time
 
I gotta check it out.
 
yessss
 
@RoryAlsop Great
 
2:37 PM
lol
I switched.
Also, it breaks chatsey
 
now i can beta test while i beta test
 
Ah - no image upload yet
 
omg mobile chet OMG EDIT CHET
 
That still requires loading it in browser with desktop mode on
 
@RoryAlsop Searching for "chat stack exchange" on Android brings up an app with a sultry Asian woman for an Asian-dating app.
 
2:38 PM
Not bad at all
 
@MarkBuffalo i wouldn't install that
 
@Ohnana Ehrmagerd Erdit chert
 
the pings are better too
 
@Ohnana Why not? Clearly this is a legitimate app. Maybe I should give them my bank details.
 
Definitely
 
2:44 PM
following the principle of "not rolling your own crypto", are there ANSI-C libraries for digital signatures/encryption for non web-based applications?

notes:
1. if this would be a good question, please do not answer me here and let me ask it on the site so that a proper answer can be written
2. it is for a non-web based application
3. please do not ask more (seriously, I beg you)
 
@Ohnana I sent a message
@Federico Hi
 
@Federico Tools recommendation are off-topic on site so you're gonna have to get your answer here.
 
Unfortunately, @Simon is right.
 
@Simon ok, no problem with that
 
And if I answer you on the site, @Simon will yell at me and hurt my eFeelings again.
 
2:46 PM
Absolutely, that's all you deserve.
 
should I get you two a room? :P
 
If you want us to wrestle, sure.
 
@Simon You're in a different weight class, this is not allowed as per the rules.
 
u wot m8
 
2:51 PM
mark is not a tiny man
 
@Simon u know the MLG voice that says that right?
 
For example, you are flyweight. I am in the super heavyweight category.
 
@LucasKauffman Nope, I usually read it in my head in a Brit voice.
 
time to change my twitter handle
 
@MarkBuffalo At least I get to fit in a brz.
 
2:52 PM
@Simon Triggered :(
 
fkin rekt
 
3:18 PM
New UI seems cool at first
@RoryAlsop reply ;)
 
 
1 hour later…
4:39 PM
"crash dummy is an honorable profession"
oh pornin, never change
 
@Ohnana I was initially dismayed, but then I checked: in my answer, I really wrote "honourable", not the americanized "honorable".
 
we speak different dialects
also i cannot edit that now
 
@Ohnana I don't think hollow points are illegal in the U.S. A quick look at Wikipedia suggests maybe in NJ, but doesn't mention anywhere else. Personally, I expect it would be more dangerous for them to be illegal than not.
 
@MarkBuffalo wow.
 
Certainly (assuming everyone follows the law) having them available would comparatively increase the mortality rate from gunshot wounds, due to their design increasing damage to soft targets and making extraction difficult. However, another effect of hollow points is that they reduce the chance of over-penetration - thereby reducing the likelihood of collateral damage or unintended casualties.
 
4:49 PM
@MarkBuffalo I told you how we fix this. We get a decently powerful C02 laser (about a thousand watts or so) and remove everything below your knees.
 
@Iszi guess what else prevents collateral damage -- not shooting at things with important things behind it
the entire point of hollow points is to cause as much damage as possible and go for the overkill
and i am done with this conversation because i have a cadbury's egg and i do not want to ruin the experience
3
mmmm mallow creme
 
@Ohnana No I think you're thinking of explosive rounds...
 
> In self-defense, hollow points are designed to increase in diameter once within the target, thus maximizing tissue damage and blood loss or shock
i didn't think explosive bullets existed outside of video games
ah, they're designed for heavy artillery. that makes more sense
 
@DavidFreitag @Ohnana is right. They don't so much "explode" as they do "flatten".
 
Hollow points also try to reach "stopping damage". E.g. it appeared, during Vietnam war, that when an enemy fighter charges at you with a sword, getting a couple of rounds clean through his body may fail to stop his blow.
Hollow points are supposed, then, to redirect the shot energy into pushing the enemy backwards instead of simply penetrating further into his entrails.
One may argue that such consideration also apply to self-defence, although of course the main use of hollow points is psychological.
 
4:56 PM
@ThomasPornin Again, achieved by the "flattening". Increasing the forward-facing surface area upon impact amplifies the efficiency of the energy transfer.
 
have to say, it's surprising those are legal for civilian use
 
@Ohnana Per the 2nd Amendment it should, by some interpretations, be surprising that any weapons or ammunition are illegal for civilian use in the U.S..
 
@DavidFreitag I know :()
@Ohnana STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! THOSE ARE ILLEGAL!
 
@MarkBuffalo sorry, ate the evidence
/licks wrapper
 
I actually truly hate guns
And swords. And knives. And anything used to keel people
But it's an imperfect world
That's all I gotta says
 
5:01 PM
If you outlaw knives, then cooking will become messy.
 
Again though, I can see why hollow points are preferred: They have greater effect upon initial impact (which, hopefully, is on the intended target) while having less likelihood of reaching any potential back-stops.
 
But we have a right to bear arms!
 
@Iszi that makes me sad. one person should not be considered a militia in their own right
 
@Iszi Hollow points also confer to the shooter a feeling of wielding a much greater power, which increases the probability of an unyielding reaction when faced with an aggressor.
 
Even on a miss, hollow points have less likelihood of over-penetrating nearby objects (likely walls or furniture) and then reaching even less-intended, and likely unforeseeable targets.
@ThomasPornin That depends on the shooter and their grasp on reality.
 
5:04 PM
@Iszi In general, we are talking of people, so the grasp on reality can only be tenuous at best.
 
@ThomasPornin Can confirm. Instructions unclear, clipped out of the map.
 
@ThomasPornin 'Specially 'round here, I suppose. Where we routinely converse with various animals.
 
and a fictional fat blob
 
@Iszi Better an animal than an amorph collection of green dots.
 
@Ohnana When did @Simon's mom join the party?
 
5:05 PM
@Iszi lol i'm talking about @RoraΖ
@ThomasPornin that's a QR code you goofball
 
I'm not reading that QR code
QR vulnerability -> remote QR injection attack -> forced to view picture of michael cera every day
 
@MarkBuffalo It's just some embedded text. I should totally have made it a TinyURL to goatse or something though. Would be hilarious.
 
@Iszi I would find you, and perform a one-button fatality.
 
Actually, if I could remember them all, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to count on one hand the number of instances where someone's actually bothered to scan the code and said something to me about it.
 
@Ohnana I am far from fictional
 
5:10 PM
@Iszi But I think you are the Iszi I am looking for.
 
@Iszi das cute
google goggles is a really nice qr reader
 
@Ohnana Didn't they can the project? :(
 
the app is still available
 
it's discontinued for iOS
 
5:13 PM
You're discontinued for iOS.
 
goggles is the app, glass is the hardware
 
That reminds me, I need to buy an iPhone so I can develop apps at home
Looks like I also need a mac... glare
 
Also reminds me. There should be a QR reader for browsers. Or a plugin or something. Something so that I don't have to point my phone at my computer screen to read a QR.
 
I hate that
It took me like 10 minutes to stabilize it
I went full Michael J. Fox trying to make it so the pixels didn't ruin it
 
@Ohnana I use Firefox. Found one though. Mildly disappointing that there isn't some sort of QR Swiss Army knife plugin - they're all either generators or readers, and the latter is fairly rare.
 
Anyone in here unfortunate enough to have an iMac?
 
@MarkBuffalo I own a Mac mini -- not exactly an iMac, but close enough for many purposes.
 
5:40 PM
@ThomasPornin Can you develop iOS applications reliably with it?
 
it has native xcode support so i don't see why not
 
@Ohnana Would that depend on the hardware's age? I might be looking for a used one.
 
@MarkBuffalo current xcode requires OSX 10.10.5 or later
the beefiness depends on how long you're willing to wait for compliation
xcode itself is pretty light, but compiling may tax older hardware
 
yeah, need something relatively fast
 
@MarkBuffalo Theoretically yes. I never tried.
I bought it in 2011. It has full 64-bit support and runs the last OS X version.
 
5:50 PM
@MarkBuffalo so anything built for yosemite would do
of course, this also dictates that you spend some money
 
@Ohnana I see an iMac nearby for $250. It's running El Capitan, 8 GB of ram... I wonder if it's stolen.
 
mac book pros are quite solid, try going back a model year
 
I refuse to code on a laptop
 
@MarkBuffalo yeaaaah i'd check with the local police dept to see if it is
macs can do clam shell mode
 
In fact, my work laptop has a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached.
 
5:51 PM
@MarkBuffalo You don't have to store it on your lap.
 
it's quite nice
 
For performance you want a lot of RAM, and a SSD. The rest, including the CPU, is very secondary.
 
I currently use an HDD at home, so I don't even have an SSD
 
That's an interesting one ^
Mate of mine is out in it on his boat!
 
@RoryAlsop tlti?
Too long, too ignorant. What does that mean?
 
5:53 PM
tlti?
 
@RoryAlsop wat
 
oh - it's sea prediction
look at the wave height
 
@RoryAlsop "Too long to interpret" ?
 
Some of us are muricans, and that looks like witchcraft to me
 
20 metres
 
5:54 PM
Wait, those are meters, not feet?
 
@RoryAlsop That sounds excessively exciting for my tastes.
 
exactly!
 
67
Q: How can I make my own Stack Overflow?

fredleyFor some reason, I'm having difficulty remembering. I've got a photo of the ingredients, but some advice on exactly how to combine them would be appreciated.

@RoryAlsop (ʘ_ʘ)
that's a lot of water
 
@Ohnana inorite
