@Avery wat

That Brazilian Guy

You get flag! You get a flag! Everybody gets a flag!

lol

Okay, I don't find this personally offending, but keep in mind, that some people do believe in those

8:02 PM

@TheWanderer "PS: :pls:"

10/10 best flag ever cast against me

And those people can and will express their opinions

@Bálint technically, they are pseudo-sciences

i would respond with another flag-worthy sentence but...

It is a practice, however - whether one agrees with its efficacy or not.

8:03 PM

@KazWolfe isn't chiropracty (whatever the noun is) good for back pain though?

chiropracty != acupuncture

It's not much different from placebo, yes, but it still helps people

@TheWanderer maybe, no idea. they're still not certified medical professionals. iirc they mostly just pop your back

@NathanOsman Kaz mentioned chiropractors too

@KazWolfe if it works, it works

I'm much more inclined to think that in some cases, they can accomplish something.

8:04 PM

Keep in mind, your opinion =/= other's opinion

@Bálint well... i also believe in vaccines so...

you've made that very clear Balint

this was fun

uh oh it's sethio

Bye

8:05 PM

o7

back to my thing

anyone wanna bugtest?

What are we testing?

@KazWolfe is that a salute?

The last time someone asked, I was promised cake and grief counseling.

@TheWanderer yee

8:06 PM

@NathanOsman play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.onehandedmode

@NathanOsman there was cake

ai haz codez

@Seth did you see my ping about that btw?

no

about what?

that link

let me check my notifications

oh the XDA app?

8:10 PM

yus

yeah I did. Not sure why you sent it to me, but it is interesting.

you're the one who wants small screen devices

no, just not giant ones. 4.7" seems perfect.

4.7" is small now

And it's not so much that it makes it hard to use with one hand (although it does) it's how much pocket room I have.

8:12 PM

do you wear skinny jeans or something? :p

I can't sit down with my 5X in my front pockets. It's just too annoying to have a slab of that size in there.

@TheWanderer Nope.

hmm

meanwhile my s8 is comfy...

bigger pockets?

small pockets are horrible

It's not that it doesn't fit, the pockets are a good size.

8:13 PM

as a galaxy note user i got used to wear workign pants with extra pckets on the legs

well hello mith. was there a flag I missed?

@Seth patch on some side pockets

@TheWanderer lol.

there was a flag, but that was several minutes ago

someone flagged @KazWolfe's message saying chiropracty and acupuncture are pseudo-sciences

8:14 PM

I am in the process of replacing most of my jeans with hiking pants. They're just so expensive..

@TheWanderer lol

I see.

so like 20 people joined

you were talking to one

@Seth Yeah, I never wear jeans. I can hardly fit my pocketknife in my jeans pocket, let alone my phone and other stuff.

am i the only one with spacious jeans pockets?

@KazWolfe do you wear baggy cargo jeans?

no, just normalish jeans

and i can still fit a N7 (albeit uncomfortably) in my front pocket

8:16 PM

@TheWanderer right. I was in another window. Noticed chiropractic stuff being mentioned, figured I needed to keep a closer eye. sure enough, yep..

@KazWolfe Like I said, it's not that they don't fit. But it gets awkward when sitting. I don't know how else to explain it.

I think I know what you mean

shrug

yeah, it sorta presses into your skin

it fits in the pocket, but it stands up and is uncomfortable when you sit?

@Mithrandir basically

also what Kaz said.

I like to be active. The bigger my phone the harder it is to secure

and the fewer places it fits comfortably.

The screen size is great when I use it tho. I guess I want the best of both worlds ;)

8:23 PM

hm.... i need to buy new headphones

@Seth that's the only Star Trek episode I've ever seen

@KazWolfe headphones and earbuds wear out incredibly annoyingly quickly

I pretty much constantly have some music on in the background and I need new earbuds like every month or so >.<

And I can never figure out headphones

they always fall off my face somehow

@Mithrandir hah. I thought you were a scifi nerd tho?

@Seth I am ;)

but you haven't seen Star Trek? D:

I more read over watch, though

8:25 PM

ahh

@Seth I've read 70 of the EU novels...

don't you kind of need the TV background tho?

I haven't had a TV for 8 years

and I'm 15

and no

fair enough. I don't have a TV either.

I get enough background from reading SFF questions ;P

8:27 PM

lol

;p

and amazingly I've got a score of 114 in star-trek

..for 8 answers o_O

that is quite impressive

I blame HNQ.

in fact, a lot of the weirdness on SO can come back to HNQ :P

SO?

SE/SO, where SO = company

8:41 PM

HNQ clickbait, anyone?

8:52 PM

How can I make my USB drive support both Ubuntu or Arch depending on what I want to install on the host computer

user136984

Goodnight folks! :)

night!

sleep well @ParanoidPanda

9:15 PM

yuck

why does the Windows Store have gradients?

user image

not even

it's just dark gray to lighter gray

and it's not even consistent where it's used

Windows in itself is not consistent where it is used, how can the website or shop be different?

yes

This whole Reddit comment thread

9:32 PM

beeps

ah thomas, what mood you are in?

@ThomasWard boops

@ThomasWard do you miss coffee, are you in a cranky mood? I got some relief here, you could check out this users last three postings on AU, i don't know how good that copy&paste posting detection system works.

--> askubuntu.com/users/754046/subramaniya-sai-s

or @terdon maybe?

10:21 PM

can anyone help me with my USB question?

(I want to be able to boot/install a variety of distros from my USB drive, as opposed to just flashing Ubuntu onto it)
