@HelkaHomba That doesn't work for the same/future message(s)
Well, until you edit it after the message exists
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ that's awesome
 
@Geobits You are under arrest for user image plagiarism
 
No. Geo's is transparent
 
Mine would be if I could get SE to play nice with PNG transparency
 
2:12 AM
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ Use Gravatar
 
@ASCII-only I've tried, same result
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ Then you broke Gravatar
 
@ASCII-only As in, I uploaded the transparent image, but SE still wouldn't show it
 
Oh, mine's just a transparent PNG on gravatar. Worked fine for me.
 
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ IDK why yours does that, but both of Geobits' profile images were transparent
 
2:14 AM
@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ maybe try an image with a 1px white pixel
 
I mean, umm.... what happened to my avatar???
 
@Geobits You have the right to remain silent
 
@quartata how to make a certain script execute on game launch in tf2?
 
@Geobits You cheated, that's two different tabs
 
2:17 AM
No it isn't. You just have to tab over to profile on your own.
I forgot to modify the links is all.
 
I'm sorry LM, but Bitsy's avatar is better.
Although yours was the original
 
Anyone want to play the alphabet game? This message starts with A. The next must start with B, then C and so on. No hokey messages. I might write a challenge for the person who gets Z.
 
> right
@HelkaHomba There is (was?) a chat for that
 
@HelkaHomba But wasn't there a chat for that?
 
Couldn't have seen that ninja coming
 
2:24 AM
ninja'd
 
Define 'hokey'
 
Entirely up to you
 
@ASCII-only Fail there, yeah
 
Good thing we're not counting that. :)
 
How does that not count?
 
2:25 AM
I can't play though, need to go to do driving test
 
Just for a little while?
 
Kangaroos.
 
Little? IDK, maybe an hour or two ;_;
 
Maybe...
 
@GeoHam No way that doesn't count as hokey
 
2:26 AM
@Geobits Okay these ninjas are not cool
 
Oh no, not again...
 
Ponies are better than unicorns
 
Quill should join us
 
Really? Ok
 
Somebody ping him
 
2:27 AM
This is harder on mobile :/
 
U should switch to desktop :P
 
@GeoHam Very interesting idea
 
@Downgoat Winner will get a challenge?
 
xylohpone based challenge?
 
Yay, I'm next to last! :P
 
2:29 AM
Z is here already? Gimme challenge :P
2
 
{ <- character after z
;_;
 
@Downgoat 0/10 hokey
 
@ASCII-only wat
 
@Downgoat -1/10 ;_; isn't after Z
 
orly
how u kno dis
 
2:30 AM
@Geobits I already made you one once
 
then go for second place, the goat!
 
VTC as unspecified prize
 
@Downgoat Plus, goats > zebras
 
@ASCII-only true
 
>>> "goats" > "zebras"
False
4
I've got some bad news for you...
 
2:31 AM
Compromise: challenge will involve geogoats
 
@El'endiaStarman that just says zebras are bad at golfing....
@HelkaHomba +1
 
@Downgoat new username: downzebra
 
;_; but... but... gaot?
i will do that if someone makes me a down zebra avatar
 
@Downgoat Zerba!
 
@HelkaHomba +0.5
 
2:34 AM
Or downbits
 
@HelkaHomba downbits == geobits
@Geobits -3 A) stripes are pixelated B) not SVG C) not zebra shape
 
;_; Mine is awful in comparison
 
shit that exported bad
 
2:35 AM
@Maltysen -1 not proper style, shape, font, or colors
 
@Downgoat SVG? Eww why? I just ripped the PNG from SE.
 
Wow. Quick response with three different down-zebra avatars. :P
 
@Downgoat that ^
 
^^ I like that one
 
2:36 AM
@Maltysen -0.25 incorrect style and font
 
@Downgoat what colors?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I don't TF2, so a lot of this is lost on me.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ backgrounds gotta be black
 
@Geobits did i ping you or are you being you
 
2:36 AM
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ That's beautiful
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ -1 ugly white border :P
 
Mostly because of DR suess, I don't TF2 very much
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Huh. I guess you didn't. I got a ping around that time and saw GeoHam and thought the two were connected o_o
 
1. Screw antialiasing 2. @Downgoat
@Geobits lol
 
2:37 AM
Guys, just stop. He's going to turn them all down because he's a stubborn goat.
 
@Downgoat ^
 
@GeoHam yeah. you should more. i'll help you?
@Maltysen @Downgoat this one is perfect. Now embrace your inner zebra!
 
@Maltysen better, but still to complex. look for a zebra silhouette, and use that as the shape
hair is also too detailed
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Yeah why not?
rn?
 
@Geobits my avatars have a very specific format which need to be followed
 
2:38 AM
can't, doing hw
>_>
 
Oh that's right...
 
*in TNB but supposed to be writing essay
 
@GeoHam XD wat
 
@Downgoat A "zebra silhouette" would look more like a downhorse than anything else.
 
@GeoHam you lucky people with jobs
school is so much worse
 
2:39 AM
@Geobits that's why you stripe the zebra silhouette
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I guess I'll just write up a challenge...
 
@Downgoat Uhhh.... that's pretty much what half these zebra pictures are. A silhouette, with added detail. As in not a silhouette.
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Are you in highschool?
 
there should be challenge to make an animal into a Down<animal>. i.e. fill the shape with red. add a Helvetica -1 in the middle and black background
 
I figured you'd like mine because it made you a down-zebra-goat instead. I knew you'd find something to nitpick for any of them that wasn't goaty enough.
 
2:40 AM
@Geoham no, middle school (8th grade)
legal age to SE though
 
Okeyday
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ are you stilled being homeschooled?
 
- D - nth dimensional stars
 
@Maltysen still has white borders :/
 
2:41 AM
@Downgoat Don't you mean a #232323 background?
 
and wrong font
 
@Downgoat nope, stopped this year
local middle school
 
@Geobits shit whoops
 
@Downgoat if it doesn't have borders, how can you see the black stripes?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ D:
 
2:42 AM
The background shouldn't be full black. #232323
 
@Maltysen have zebra stripes be a duller red
 
it's to get into high school/college easier
 
or use correct #232323 background
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ public schools are more painful than homeschool right?
you don't have to deal with crazy teachers
 
yeah
but not that bad
@Downgoat yep. engilsh teacher is evil
 
2:43 AM
@Downgoat Depends on your homeschool teachers I guess. I've met some crazy ones.
 
@Downgoat Dealing with stuff builds charcter, Downicorn.
 
> downicorn
5
please people star that
 
Yep. Downicorn it is. It is settled.
 
if ^^ or this gets stars...
 
> Quiz: Did character A ask character B about X?
> Downgoat: yeah!
> English Teacher: no, you're wrong
> Downgoat: But this quote from the books proves I'm write
> English Teacher: Why are you taking the book so literally, clearly character A didn't feel like getting an answer from character B so he didn't really ask him.
> Downgoat: wat
^ real story today. not even exaggerating
 
2:44 AM
> wat
 
> write
 
@Downgoat Need quote/passage for verification
 
@Downgoat wow, you were reading a book with characters named A and B? :P
 
@HelkaHomba it also makes for good opporunities to make fun of teacher
 
2:45 AM
@Maltysen 0/10 have done that teacher insisted on naming them 1 and 2 >_>
 
@Maltysen they are place holders
@Geobits ok gimme one sec
 
@Downgoat That's a great way to make your teachers like you
 
If you're trying to make your teachers like you, you might be doing it wrong.
 
2:46 AM
@Geobits hahaha
 
@GeoHam ... which is why you say it during lunch and not to their face
 
then you get straight As /s
 
Straight As in high school matter less than you'd think.
 
most of my teachers never say "Have a good day" back when I say it to them, so I tried to be nice but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Geobits If you antagonize your teachers, you're doing it wrong
 
2:47 AM
doing the essay she gives the days its due in the library while she watches is another surefire way to earn some disapproval points
 
PB&J poll - good or bad?
 
@GeoHam Sure. I didn't say antagonize them.
 
@Geobits wait wat, if i dont get straight As how am i supposed to get into good college wat.
College = super important right?
 
I went to a total of 0 days in highschool, so I just took a ridiculously easy test.
 
@Geobits you also didn't say not to antagonize them...
 
2:48 AM
@Downgoat Define "good" college. There are tons of good schools that you don't need perfect grades (or $50k) to attend.
@Maltysen Well, sure :P
 
@Maltysen should have told me that this morning >_>
@HelkaHomba meh
 
@HelkaHomba Are there really people who would answer "bad" to that?
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ its fun. they want to reprimand you but you're not actually doing anything wrong, so they just sit there grunting. Perfect passive aggressiveness
 
@Geobits ^
 
of mice and men?
 
2:52 AM
yes >_>
 
Oh wow. That looks like a terrible type of test.
 
^ yes
@GeoHam :O you jumped HS???
 
@Downgoat Eh, it's not so hard. A GED test is about the easiest thing you can take.
 
@Geobits Oh, I didn't mean GED. I never took that. I meant the college entrance test.
@Downgoat Sortof? Not really.
 
Ah, gotcha.
I dropped out after 10th and got a GED the next week. High school was, and probably remains, stupid.
 
2:59 AM
@Geobits I agree. I'm glad I never had to put up with it.
 
@GeoHam brb dropping out of HS too
 
>_<
 
@Downgoat What grade are you in?
 
dont wanna say >_> rather personal about my age/grade
 
I think he's 11.
 
3:01 AM
@Downgoat That's fine. Absolutely nothing wrong with keeping PII to a minimum.
I probably have room to improve in that area >_<
 
To be fair, 11 for a goat isn't the same as 11 for a human.
 
A goat's life span is only 15-18 years
 
@HelkaHomba ;_;
 
@GeoHam >_> I'm probably not doing so good at that
@GeoHam ono ;______; Q__________Q
i guess i am dead. RIP me
 
3:05 AM
I hate people...
 
@Geobits ಠ_ಠ
 
wait, goats are people too
 
> People also ask
Why do goats want to eat everything?
ಠ_ಠ
@JonathanAllan
 
Oh crap:
 
3:07 AM
@Downgoat I droo a pitcher!
 
@GeoHam ._.
wat
 
Downfatzebrahorsething
 
I drew a pitcher :P
 
-0/10 looks unsteady
 
better?
 
3:12 AM
> Geobits were unassuming people who lived in little houses hewn from the natural rock and who led quiet lives, venturing forth with cameras now and then to take pictures, and tending their computers.
@Downgoat Much. I'm sure the third one will be even better.

In brainfuck, how acceptable is it to replace [-] with , (when there is no input) to set the current cell to 0?
 
3:14 AM
Minibits is on the second row of images for my username o_O
 
@ConorO'Brien autoexec.cfg
 
@GeoHam That's not the first image I get for GeoHam :P
 
I'm surprised. All of the results are related to stuff I've done on SE. I thought there would be more unrelated stuff
@Geobits Fine
 
wow @GeoHam is older than I thought
 
3:17 AM
Only 12 out of the first 40 images for Geobits are related to me at all :/
 
Mine is a picture of the actual fencing move (can't post on mobile). 3rd and 4th are my old and new avatars respectively
 
For whatever reason, most of the results are stuff I've VTC'ed on other SE sites.
 
My GH is third but I actually google myself fairly often when I'm too lazy to find a repo on mobile so my results are probably fairly poisoned
 
Really? Your twitch is third for me
 
Yeah, images seem to be personalized with no (quick/visible) option to disable that, unlike regular search.
 
3:23 AM
@Maltysen no, you get lunch detention >_>
aka sit in a classroom during lunch
 
@GeoHam My twitch? what
I only streamed once

That's the third result when I google-images "quartata"
 
@GeoHam no results, should I go with google's suggested replacement?
it tries to replace "thenameipicked" with "the name picked"
which is this:

I get a twitter account
 
its because they don't have "a name picked"
 
@NathanMerrill Wait, what are you googling? Just "Nathan Merrill"?
 
my username is thenameipicked

o_O Conor only has 29 downvotes... that's < %0.04 of his votes
 
@GeoHam that's my display name
 
Close enough
 
well, when you google "Nathan Merrill" 2 out of the top 5 pictures are actually of me
 
That does not happen when I google my IRL name.
The top 5 results are an author I've never heard of before. O_O

Q: Which numeric base system has the most numerically consecutive multiplication statements

HoytmanIn the base 10 system, there are two multiplication problems that render numerically consecutive multiplication statements: 12=3*4 and 56=7*8 Is this because base 10 is totally unique and special?

I need a name for my programming language but I can't come up with a good one. Info about the language: No built-in looping, no built-in function constructs, no built-in data types of any kind, and weird recursive regex interpreting. Any suggestions?

Jameson and Baileys are really common. Any place that sells liquor should have them. Unless you're underage, then that's another problem :P
 
Yep, the second problem.
I'll let you know how I like it in a couple years.

Recruiter? I read about those on WOrkplace.SE. They're people who send you spam, harass you with unwanted phone calls, and try to trick you to going to interviews for jobs in fields you have no interest in, right?

No thanks, I'm not going to take a job completely unrelated to my field that is loads more stressful, makes me lose the little bit of faith I have in humanity, and pays less than a quarter of what I should be getting with my experience and skillset with a job that is actually in my field, as hourly pay instead of the salary that I would be getting.

@ASCII-only Usernames and avatars are how people are recognized online. Changing one and/or the other severely harms recognition.
