Morning party people.

Lucas Kauffman

I wish there was a bear hat

AviD

@LucasKauffman you could try getting a bear to sit on your head.

►

Lucas Kauffman

looks at @ThomasPornin

well if someone is brave enough to stick his head up @Thomas his butt it would probably be @Simon

Simon

I ain't afraid of bears.

kalina

@Simon it's afternoon

Simon

14:13

@kalina How can you be so confused? It's morning!

AviD

@Simon you only think that because you're at a morning party.

Terry Chia

@Simon See, that's the kind of stupid thing only you would say.

AviD

whatever the hell that is.

And punctuation.

kalina

@Simon it's afternoon

Simon

@AviD Morning parties ftw!

Lucas Kauffman

14:16

@Simon FACE DOWN ASS UP THAT'S THE WAY WE LIKE TO

Simon

F

AviD

@TerryChia well, and Scott Adams...

Simon

@LucasKauffman Great track, love those lyrics.

Lucas Kauffman

@Simon have you heard Allejupa?

Simon

I don't think so.

@kalina I found our producer names when we'll be a duo: I'll be Doodlee and you'll be Deedlette.

So it'll be: Doodlee & Deedlette

Pretty awesome, I know.

Terry Chia

14:24

@Simon Is that your way of asking her out?

Simon

@TerryChia If you think that's remotely close to someone asking a girl out, you need to review the way you do it, boi.

Terry Chia

@Simon See the "your way". You are a weird person, how would I know?

Simon

Weird dudes just stare at the girl and hope she's gonna talk to her (not ever happening).

Terry Chia

@Simon You sound like you have personal experiences with that method.

Simon

I witness it every time I go to clubs.

I just missed my own phone call #foreveralone

kalina

14:38

@Simon erm

I think you misunderstand

you're the guy that follows me around 4 paces behind me with my record box

you don't get to touch any of the electronics

Simon

Better than nothing, isn't it?

kalina

I might let you have whatever leftover drugs I have

but that will be a serious perk of the job

once in a blue moon kind of thing

Simon

Man, I'd be lucky as hell.

kalina

damn straight

know your role

Kevin van der Velden

14:40

@ScottPack 42

Simon

@ScottPack -3

Kevin van der Velden

@Simon I took 42, I already won

Simon

@LucasKauffman Do you know Cosmic Gate?

Adnan

@DavidFreitag I'm 99.9% sure I spelled your name incorrectly on the package. Luckily, I've chosen Express instead of Track & Signature, so you don't have to produce an ID with the name David Fertiege

Scott Pack

@Simon Wow, best case scenario there is a -4 modifier and rolling a 1. That sucks.

Simon

14:45

@ScottPack QQ I wanna play D&D again.

Scott Pack

@Simon What did you play?

I assume 4th?

Simon

It was either 3.5 or before that.

Like 10 years ago.

Scott Pack

Ah, ok. That would have been 3.5.

Simon

All I remember is that I was obsessed with Druids.

Scott Pack

As I recall 4th came out in summer of 2008.

Simon

14:49

As a matter of fact, I still am.

Yeah it definitely wasn't 4th.

Scott Pack

Druid is an interesting class, but also very complex.

Of the two games I've had the most fun with one was a Ranger/Fighter and the other was a Druid.

kalina

I am a level 24 hat collector

with a charm that provides +255 awesome

Scott Pack

I've been reading the Iron Druid series lately. It's really put me in the mood to incorporate some of those flavor elements and play a Druid again.

Simon

Nice.

I think Druid was actually the very last character I played and the group only lasted a few games IIRC.

Lucas Kauffman

@Simon nope

@ScottPack Is that an online game?

Simon

15:00

@LucasKauffman You have some work to do then.

Thomas Pornin

Oh good, temperature is rising again.

Scott Pack

@LucasKauffman Iron Druid? No they're books. Because I've been reading them.

AviD

@Simon you played d&d in your diapers??

Simon

@AviD Who hasn't?

Lucas Kauffman

@ScottPack this D&D

The Iron Druid Chronicles

The Iron Druid Chronicles is a series of urban fantasy novels, written by Kevin Hearne and published by Del Rey Books. All the books including short stories have recorded Audiobooks narrated by Luke Daniels. Synopsis The series is set in our world (the first couple of books were set in Tempe, Arizona) where supernatural creatures exist, such as witches, vampires, werewolves, as well as various gods and goddesses from various mythologies. The series is told in the first-person point-of-view of Atticus O'Sullivan (aka. Siodhachan O Suileabhain), a Druid who owns and runs an occult bookshop,...

Simon

It's -20 C right now (-4 F)

om nom nom cold

My car was like: "I ain't no pussy" and it started very quickly.

And the power steering pump was like: "PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

Lucas Kauffman

@Simon you basically slid across the icy road and crashed your car?

Simon

@LucasKauffman Nah, the pump was ok after idling for a minute.

Adnan

@Lucas I'm not sure how I feel about this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

Scott Pack

@Adnan You mean there being a Trappist abbey in the States?

Lucas Kauffman

15:18

@Adnan The quality of the beer should be fine as they were helped by the Trappist monks of La Trappe

but I want to taste it first of course

Adnan

@ScottPack That a non-European Trappist abbey was officially recognized as one of the Trappist beers.

@Lucas By the way

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan that's a bit racist don't you think :p?

@Adnan I have to make up what that is? :P

Adnan

@LucasKauffman The beers I ordered from a German site. All good German and Belgian beers. Including the shipping, the whole price is still about 40% of the price from Finnish alcohol shops.

Was super excited!

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan that's allowed?

you can import that?

which beers did you get?

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Apparently, yes.

@LucasKauffman Chimay, Leffe, Berliner Pilsner, Tap 4 Mein Grunes, ummm

those are the ones I remember

Lucas Kauffman

15:24

Which Leffe and which Chimay?

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Leffe triple

Chimay blue, I believe.

Lucas Kauffman

blue is nice

Simon

@ScottPack These people are talking about weird beer brands.

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Now they're relaxing in the fridge. Tomorrow they shall be ravished.

Lucas Kauffman

@Simon Please do not mock the beers you maple syrup munching heretic

Simon

15:27

OM NOM NOM MAPLE SYRUP

Adnan

@Lucas But I'm wondering about why this is legal

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan make sure you put them standing up unless they have a cork

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Why? Freezing?

Lucas Kauffman

I might try to become a Zythologist next year

AviD

@Adnan frozen beer is fun.

Lucas Kauffman

15:31

@Adnan no it's not good if you plan to keep them for a longer period because the beer can corrodate the metal bottle cap

AviD

It does feel like eating yellow snow, though....

Adnan

@LucasKauffman :O fascinating!

@AviD An experienced man we have

AviD

I accidentally left a bottle of beer in the freezer once.

the bottle cracked, of course, and I had to clean up the mess.

Simon

noob

Adnan

I'm starting to get sick of maker's questions

@makerofthings7 I pressed F12 and highlighted an image in a message on GMail. There you go i.imgur.com/BQQR1AQ.png They're using the proxy approach. Happy? Great! — Adnan 3 hours ago

Lucas Kauffman

15:33

I almost killed my gf once for setting the fridge to high

AviD

At first it was annoying, sucking it all up with a straw, but after about half I didnt mind as much.

Lucas Kauffman

I was drinking St Bernardus Abt 12 slushy

Adnan

@LucasKauffman Killing GFs, that's fun.

@LucasKauffman Ooooh.. that's a murder-worthy beer.

Lucas Kauffman

I'm going to get a bottle of Big Chouffe

Scott Pack

@Simon It's all Belgian. It's probably full of banana and Brussels sprouts or something.

Simon

15:37

@ScottPack Haha

Scott Pack

@Adnan Just now?

Lucas Kauffman

@ScottPack Just like American beer is full of bull crap and hamburgers

copy

More like tap water

CodesInChaos

@ThomasPornin You might want to answer this question. I think you wrote a paper about it once.

1

Q: Why can an RSA signature be authenticated ONLY with the signer's public key?

I'm an undergraduate Math student currently taking a cryptology course. I have a question about the RSA signature authentication mechanism. An RSA signature can be authenticated with the public key of the signer. However, I'm wondering why it can ONLY be authenticated with the signer's public k...

Scott Pack

@LucasKauffman Mass market American beer is pretty freaking terrible.

@LucasKauffman That being said, the tastiest beer I've ever had was a Russian Imperial Double Stout brewed in Ohio.

I also sincerely wish I could remember what brewery that was. sigh

Thomas Pornin

15:45

@LucasKauffman I once put a beer in the ice compartment to make it drinkable faster, then forgot it. The beer froze; the next day, I thawed it, then drank it: surprisingly, it was not bad. The taste had changed a bit, and most bubbles had disappeared, but the result was not as foul as could have been feared.

AviD

@ThomasPornin thats what I did, with harsher results.

Scott Pack

@ThomasPornin Some beers could go with some decarbonating.

Adnan

@ScottPack Ahhh..

AviD

You're lucky the bottle didnt explode.

Thomas Pornin

@AviD That specific beer was in a can, which took a more spheroid shape but did not explode.

Iszi

15:47

@AviD I've had beer bottles freeze solid before with no problem - it's aluminum cans you have to worry about.

AviD

ah. lucky.

Thomas Pornin

@CodesInChaos Ah, indeed. I'm on it.

Iszi

@ThomasPornin Just on the verge, then.

Lucas Kauffman

@ThomasPornin also watch out for Simon

AviD

@Iszi glass bottle, of carbonated beer, frozen completely solid - and didnt over-expand till cracking point? Explain.

Adnan

15:48

Stop answering them.... — AviD 2 hours ago

Lucas Kauffman

@AviD because it was God's wish to punish you and therefore your beer exploded

Simon

wot

Lucas Kauffman

I have seen cans survive freezing, but never bottles

Scott Pack

@AviD They were probably plastic.

Iszi

@AviD Probably the air gap they leave in the neck? I dunno.

Scott Pack

15:50

@Iszi That air doesn't exactly provide a buffer for expansion so much as it does a non-compressable medium.

AviD

sounds like a question for whatif.xkcd.com.

@Adnan he complains about people keep asking the same damn question, then goes and encourages them more by giving them an answer instead of closing.

Adnan

@AviD That's @Lucas for you

Lucas Kauffman

@Adnan I'm a llama with a hat, your argument is invalid.

Adnan

@LucasKauffman In all seriousness, your posting behaviour is getting more and more whory.

You're almost becoming AJ Henderson

Simon

QOTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111ONEONEONE

AviD

15:55

@Adnan He's a llama with a hat. What seriousness are you talking about??

Iszi

@ScottPack Meh, maybe I just got lucky then.

ManishEarth

I need 7 more hats to overflow the hat display div.

AviD

div's cant overflow!

Adnan

How did I get the Johnny Three-hats hat?!!

CodesInChaos

I think the and "x other site(s)" display is lame. Come on, can you really not fit 16x16px icons on the screen?

@Adnan You got three hats

Simon

16:00

I can't wait until my hat updates and I become a mini @ScottPack!

CodesInChaos

It's a tautology hat

Adnan

@CodesInChaos I only got it after I got 5 other hats.

I've had 4 hats since last night

Simon

But I got more than 3 hats and I don't hate it!

Adnan

@CodesInChaos So you're very likely wrong

ManishEarth

@AviD You're right, it just makes the container larger

Simon

16:01

@ManishEarth owned

@AbeMiessler Mourning.

Adnan

@Simon Really?!

Simon

@Adnan ?!?

CodesInChaos

@Simon my condolences

ManishEarth

@Adnan 4? pfft

Simon

Leave us alone, it's our thing, you can't understand it.

AviD

16:03

@Adnan not counting the ones you had before the bash started.

Adnan

@AviD I had only one before the bash started

Simon

@AviD I got 4 new hats and I still don't have it so le fu-.

CodesInChaos

@ManishEarth haxx

Adnan

@AviD I don't know, it doesn't make sense

Simon

Do you get a hat for earning a gold medal?

Like a supa dupa sekret hat

Adnan

16:04

@Simon Sure, sweety. You'll earn a gold medal.

CodesInChaos

a supa dupa public hat

Simon

@Adnan Wanna bet?

Adnan

@Simon The only one you get is for being batshit crazy

Simon

I can earn one tomorrow if I want to.

AviD

@Adnan hmm, maybe its 3 hats in a single day?

Adnan

16:05

@AviD Aha! Now that makes sense

Simon

I can get one tomorrow I swear!

Adnan

@Simon For what?

AviD

@Iszi why did you flag a closed question for closing?

Simon

@Adnan 600 votes

Adnan

@AviD Couldn't be before the question was closed?

AviD

16:07

@Adnan nope. closed 3 hours ago, flagged 8 minutes ago.

and dont say he didnt notice, he mentioned it in the flag...

hence my query.

Adnan

@AviD Maybe @Iszi just really hates that question

Iszi

@AviD I flagged it for deletion.

AviD

ahhh.

Simon

noob @AviD

AviD

well, I'm torn - the whole signposts thing.

Iszi

16:08

@AviD You didn't see my note "recommending deletion"?

@AviD Well, then I'd edit that one answer.

AviD

I want questions like that to be there as closed, so people will eventually get the idea.

@Iszi not the answers, the question. Being closed.

Adnan

@Iszi What kind of mod do you think @AviD is? A one who actually reads the flags?

Scott Pack

Yes. We want to keep some closed questions around as examples of what isn't acceptable.

4

Adnan

@ScottPack +1

AviD

@Adnan he didnt actually say it should be deleted.

Iszi

16:10

@AviD What I mean is, if the question is kept around then the answers need to be re-worked to fit the general tone that is expected on the site.

Well, not really "the answers" - mostly just that one.

AviD

@ScottPack exactly. People need to stop asking the same damn question with different words, and other people need to stop answering them.

Simon

yeah noobs

AviD

eventually, we will have every possible permutation of that question closed on the site.

Simon

yes

AviD

@Iszi actually, I would just as soon delete them both.

Simon

16:11

no

AviD

@Iszi so flag the answer... or tell @LucasKauffman to clean his **** up.

Simon

maybe

Iszi

@AviD That's why I figured nuking the question would solve the whole problem at once.

AviD

3 mins ago, by Scott Pack

Yes. We want to keep some closed questions around as examples of what isn't acceptable.

Simon

^

Scott Pack

16:13

@Iszi That's the opposite of solving the problem. Bitch.

Simon

Dayum, serious talk.

Iszi

@ScottPack Your mom.

AviD

@Iszi no no, to do that right it should have been: "your mom is the opposite of solving the problem".

or even "thats the opposite of solving your mom."

Iszi

@AviD No, it was meant to imply "Yo momma's a bitch."

Had nothing to do with solving the problem.

AviD

@Iszi ... his mom is the problem...?

Simon

16:17

Old men discussing about mom jokes. Life's great.

You can't witness that anywhere else.

AviD

@Simon unlike your mom.

Simon

Yes, unlike her.

AviD

@Simon she can be witnessed everywhere else.

doing impolite things.

Simon

Yes, yes.

AviD

with everyone.

Iszi

16:21

@AviD C'mon, you could have just left it at "witnessed everywhere else" and it would have been just fine as a fat joke.

AviD

@Iszi oh yeah, that's a good one.

but it was @Simon, so I didnt want to leave it subtle.

Iszi

@AviD Ah, true.

Adnan

First world problem: Too many people voted for my posts, now I can't tell how many more votes I have :-( — Kevin Panko Dec 6 at 21:35

I had to attest that the package doesn't contain batteries, compressed air, or explosives

Abe Miessler

Big brother is coming for you

Adnan

@DavidF So, it contains the following
- 1 bottle of Minttu (Finnish peppermint drink)
- 1 bottle of Salmari (Ummm.. hard to explain, you'll see/throwup yourself)
- Package of Salmiakki (foreigners say this is the most disgusting candy they ever tasted).
- Package of something (I forgot what it was, but it's very likely some other disgusting Finnish candy).
- Ensiferum thing.

Adnan

@RoryAlsop That hat.. fits.. so .. perfectly!

Scott Pack

@RoryAlsop What about Misters Graham, Leach, and Bliley?

Rory Alsop

@Adnan which hat do I have on? I can't remember which one I chose

@ScottPack I would hate them, but I am Scottish, not American, so they don't impact me :-)

Adnan

@RoryAlsop The scuba goggles thing

Rory Alsop

17:02

yeah - I chose it last night. It's great :-)

The beardy one looks okay too

@Manish - you have IG-88, unicorn, Winterbash past, and chuck - any hints you can give as to how they come about?

ManishEarth

@RoryAlsop Unicorn: Get some comment upvotes on meta

Chuck: Not sure, I think you have to answer a question quickly

Rory Alsop

I think I answered one last night in less than a minute...but no hat.

ManishEarth

Not sure then

It should say graduated.

Adnan

Oh nice.

It should be fixed now.

Yeah I found it on the mobile version. Thanks.

@LucasKauffman community wiki

isn't that one for tag wiki edits?

if it's that and you can't find any tags to edit here then I can always find you new sites that don't have even basic descriptions for many tags ... just don't copy/paste off wiki, but there are many that should be easy enough on space and astronomy for example

I think I should have enough rep on astro to approve them...

Lucas Kauffman

oooh I can do one for the RAM air parachutes

TildalWave

sure, be my guest... I would add more descriptions but with other stuff to work on I never get to that :( well, almost never,... so I annoy others LOL

it's on another site, that should be acceptable, no?

Simon

Usually it is acceptable but in this case it is not because that site sucks.

TildalWave

@Simon so by your logic it's not acceptable to downvote stuff on sites that suck?

Simon

Exactly.

That site sucks, why try to improve it?
