mentioning dogs in an answer = UPGOATS

Zacharee1

dogs..

or cats.

either, really.

Serg

This is interobang ‽

Interrobang

The interrobang (/ɪnˈtɛrəˌbæŋ/), also known as the interabang, ‽ (often represented by ?! or !?), is a nonstandard punctuation mark used in various written languages and intended to combine the functions of the question mark (also called the "interrogative point") and the exclamation mark or exclamation point (known in printers' and programmers' jargon as the "bang"). The glyph is a superimposition of these two marks. The word itself is an example of a portmanteau that incorporates an onomatopoeia. == Application == A sentence ending with an interrobang asks a question in an excited manne...

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg maek mah scripz X

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 that is called "mean user"

Zacharee1

wat

Kaz Wolfe

7:23 PM

@Serg Windows has a console? Wat?

how do I get to it, because reasons

i mean, yeah, cmd, but that's not a direct console

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe what are you talking about?

Serg

@KazWolfe cmd ? Also, in recovery mode you can select "start windows with command line" or something like that.

Also powershell

Kaz Wolfe

so there isn't a TTY or similar.

That sucks

Serg

Nope, no TTY there

MAC also doesn't have

Zacharee1

Why would Windows have a TTY? That's just silly

Kaz Wolfe

7:25 PM

OSX has one

bootup in single user mode

Zacharee1

@Seth another Note 7 giveaway if you wanna join an link me

Kaz Wolfe

note 7? as in the phone?

Serg

@KazWolfe yeah, that's console, but not like ubuntu tty1 through tty 6

Kaz Wolfe

meh. more things need ttys

Serg

@Zacharee1 imma maek dat script like i maek pencakes

Zacharee1

7:28 PM

@Serg wat

Serg

lim browser_tabs (as time goes to infinity) = infinity

Calculus for ya ^

Byte Commander

@Serg I guess most browsers would not allow more than 2^64 tabs (or something like that due to integer overflow), and they would already get killed much earlier by the out-of-memory killer.

Serg

frankly i dont wanna test that

too much tabness

Byte Commander

make a script that opens tabs...

edwinksl

@KazWolfe the question you answered made it to Hot Network Questions

Serg

7:39 PM

chromium seems to hate me entereing unicode

IT's about time ⏱ ⏱ ⏱ ⏱ ⏱ ⏱ ⏱

👍👍👍

Lol, jorge

wat

7:45 PM

really???

Zanna

oops thanks for fixing @edwinksl ;)

I should pay you for your services

edwinksl

@Zanna rare slip-up by you

Zanna

hardly :)

I like your buildbot answer... OP being demanding though

edwinksl

@Serg where did you get this from? i can't find it

Serg

@edwinksl Jorge's blog

edwinksl

7:48 PM

@Zanna which is surprising for a 4.3k SO user... he/she should know better than to ask for even more help in the comments section of an answer

@Serg holy crap it is real

Zacharee1

ehhhh? askubuntu.com/questions/817929/…

@Zanna linkz pls

Byte Commander

Why does watching Hollywood Undead - Bullet (official lyrics video) make YouTube recommend me a vid about... erm... Japanese age 18+ game shows? o.O

I'll never understand them...

Serg

@ByteCommander because Wagakki band

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander Those recommendations are based on previous viewing habits

edwinksl

@ByteCommander wooo, nice song

Mateo

7:52 PM

haha

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 They can't be.

Zacharee1

All mine are MC vids if I view a music video

Byte Commander

I'm clearing cookies every session.

Mateo

that isn't what shows up for my recommendations...

you should turn off history as well if you are logged in to google

Byte Commander

And I for sure never watched stuff like that.

And I never log in to google.

Zanna

7:53 PM

here's the question in question askubuntu.com/questions/817917/…

Byte Commander

I think GeoIP and language settings also matter, that "special" video is German...

Zacharee1

@Zanna or is it the question in answer?!

Serg

@Zanna question in question ? Quest-ception !

( ^ ◡ ^ )

Byte Commander

Questification.

edwinksl

3 meta 5 me

Zanna

7:54 PM

but now I'm feeling I may have violated ettiquette by asking for more help in the comments section of answers to my questions! For example: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/303755/…

Zacharee1

@Zanna hoW DarE YoU

argh scary random caps hides

Hnnnnnnnnng rep

ps I would love an answer to that question that just tells me how to do it in vim hahahaha

Zacharee1

7:57 PM

@Zanna Here: fn'er'q;erg;qqe;;erthqqf;zxc;'wegfwg;;qefgwge;;;'qef

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 that sounds like an edgy high-school boy... oh wait

Zanna

hahaha are you trying to get out?

Zacharee1

@edwinksl shut

@Zanna rteb;qegeth;ef;gr;f'ewe'rgeg;rf;w;r;gqw;ewr;gq;w;qef;xs;d;;wr;g;wvwrgb;;;;;;;wrg

Byte Commander

Serg

@Zanna vim actually has keybinding for increment number under cursor in comamdn mode (Ctrl + A ) . . .and probably there is a scripting way to move through all numbers and increment them . . . but I don't know how to write that

Zanna

8:04 PM

I played around for a while before but I didn't find a simple way. It's easy if the numbers you want to insert are the line numbers, but otherwise I couldn't do it. I need to learn more general stuff to understand what I'm doing :)

edwinksl

wtf OP y u remove code formatting askubuntu.com/posts/817936/revisions

Serg

aaaaaah, i think i found something

Zacharee1

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 this should have been your comment to that question

Zacharee1

lel

@Zanna @edwinksl if he edits it back, just VTC unclear. @Zanna, you leave another comment saying it's bad to remove :p

Serg

@Zanna I think I found the solution, be posting soon

( vim-able solution )

Zacharee1

@Zanna ugh I did it again

@Serg MEOW

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Uhm... why do we need 1024-bit addresses?

Zacharee1

8:22 PM

@NathanOsman what if we colonize Mars?

duhhhh

Nathan Osman

We nearly have enough addresses with IPv6 to assign one to every atom of matter.

Not really, but you get the idea.

Zacharee1

OP gave up on English halfway through askubuntu.com/questions/817943/…

Nathan Osman

I gave up on English years ago.

Zacharee1

hehehheh

Zanna

    :'<,'>s/.*\<.\>//g

that's as close as I can get myself @Zacharee1 for your amusement

edwinksl

8:24 PM

at least i know what merci means. my french so gud

Zacharee1

@Zanna what's weird is that Lin is a Chinese surname and Ko is a Korean one

@edwinksl il est idiot

no idea if that's right

Nathan Osman

George is... Antarctican if that counts for anything.

@Zanna your text is magical, I can increment custom list, but not yours

Zacharee1

@edwinksl ANWAR HAS JOINED askubuntu.com/questions/817936/…

edwinksl

he singlehandedly won it

Nathan Osman

Can 20K users protect questions?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman don't you only need 10k for that?

Nathan Osman

Oh?

How come I can't do it then?

Zacharee1

8:32 PM

no wait it's 15k

edwinksl

15k it seems

Nathan Osman

Oh wait.

edwinksl

so serg can do it and so does nathan

Nathan Osman

Not anymore.

Serg

buddy's car battery dies, bbl, Serg to the rescue

Zanna

@Serg haha the actual file is called pixielog so maybe magic is the problem

edwinksl

8:45 PM

@Zanna after i put some additional pressure on james' answer, it appears he finally gave in and deleted his answer... +1 rep incoming

Zanna

excellent news @edwinksl ^_^

edwinksl

he seems like a good person though, probably just a little wrong this time

Zanna

@Zacharee1 TIL again @Anwar you are teaching me a lot today

Sure, no doubt he is nice :) In my experience, it is very hard to convince someone they are wrong when they Truly Believe (myself included). I blame the education system.

David Cole - Grammar Police

Can we just..

-1

A: Java Error: Core dumped failed! Try doing ulimit -c unlimited before you start java next time!

@Ron, the same issue is occurring for me too. Where can I find /etc/security/limits.conf ?

edwinksl

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice already flagged. it will eventually be deleted

David Cole - Grammar Police

8:54 PM

yep

But seriously: "How do I find (insert path to file)?" like XD

edwinksl

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice you can consider answering this type of questions for easy rep :D

David Cole - Grammar Police

But it was an answer

XD

edwinksl

ah yeah

Zacharee1

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice I... what?

David Cole - Grammar Police

what?

Zacharee1

9:10 PM

just the pure ignorance

David Cole - Grammar Police

I know right XD

edwinksl

@DavidCole-GrammarPolice did ron's answer not work for you?

David Cole - Grammar Police

for some reason it wasn't initializing

in the bashrc

Everything else was

Zanna

I thought setting ulimit just allows you to read the core dump?

David Cole - Grammar Police

For some reason the FTB launcher wanted it changed

Zanna

9:16 PM

like, allows the core to be dumped, so you can read it

David Cole - Grammar Police

not sure

Zanna

meh, I don't know the context, dunno why I am even blathering on

better sleep instead

David Cole - Grammar Police

lol

Zanna

where's @Serg ? is he wrestling with my stupid list?

David Cole - Grammar Police

Probably

edwinksl

9:19 PM

@Zanna think he went to jumpstart his buddy's car

Zanna

aww always helping

that French person has serious underlying problems I think... I answered a question they asked this morning and /usr/bin was not in their PATH

edwinksl

maybe his/her .profile and .bashrc are blank like in arch? :D

Zanna

maybe, they were blank in LXLE when I installed that too, which seems odd.

Zacharee1

I think this guy just copied an SO Q&A here askubuntu.com/questions/817964/run-two-commands-in-case-of-or

edwinksl

9:36 PM

maybe he thinks parentheses are the best thing since sliced bread

Nathan Osman

Zanna

the SO question looks quite different to me

Nathan Osman

RAW processing is interesting.

Zanna

maybe cos I'm a noob

edwinksl

if this were in SO, i would have flagged it as typo error

user3892683

9:38 PM

any openstack users here?

Zanna

is there a flag for that?

edwinksl

yes in SO, no in AU

Nathan Osman

Why are all menus in Windows right-aligned?

edwinksl

@NathanOsman really? i can't recall

Nathan Osman

I'm used to the menu lining up with the left side of the parent label.

Zanna

9:42 PM

haha I forgot to read my strace from like 12 hours ago... what was I trying to discover???

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman move it to the left side of the screen, problem solved

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 that was the left.

Zacharee1

all the way to the left

Nathan Osman

There's room for it to open on the other side if that's what you're asking.

Zacharee1

but you have to make it so there's no room to open it on the left

Serg

9:53 PM

I said it before and i'll say it again, cars are the worst, piece of sh** technology ever

Nathan Osman

No, that's not the way it is supposed to work.

Serg

They're heavy and break a lot

Nathan Osman

@Serg which kind?

Serg

@NathanOsman all of them

Nathan Osman

@Serg You can't possibly have tried every one :P

Zacharee1

9:54 PM

@NathanOsman why do you think he's broke?

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 Q&A just became only Q

Serg

So my buddy parked his car in front of a store, like face first. And there was no free spot next to it. So we had to push it down into big parking lot , so that i can park next to him

so my lower back hurts now

Zacharee1

@edwinksl weird

edwinksl

maybe because i complained

Zacharee1

heh

well there's another answer now

Serg

9:56 PM

Next we had to figure out where to connect the last negative wire. They recomend to place it onto solid metal piece on the engine body. Which now there is shiz ton of plastic around it onew cars

Finally found a bolt and attatched cable to it

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 which's way more useful than his own answer

Serg

Man, cars just piss me off

Now back to Zanna's thing

Zanna

@Zacharee1 a better one :)

edwinksl

@Serg printers are a bigger POS than cars are

Zanna

my printer is a sweetheart, really
