@Egobits Yeah who doesn't love a good BDSM song?

Egobits

@Mego Yea, you can only sing about how much you hate your parents for so long.

Ooh, for super 90s, throw in some Offspring

Egobits

Already done :P

It's right next to the Green Day.

@Mego I saw the Offspring at Warped Tour a million years ago.

Whenever my gf and I hear "gluta glieben glouten gluten" on our Pandora playlist, we mute the speakers and bet on whether it's Rock of Ages or Pretty Fly

I went to a Warped in Jacksonville. Sooooooo high.

You mean elevation, right? ;)

Egobits

Yes. It's pretty far above sea level for a port city >_>

Hahaha

Offspring, Green Day, Korn, a shitty job I could call out from... those were the days.

Ugh Korn

Alex A.

6:04 AM

When was that?

Egobits

It would've been late 90s.

Korn reminds me of my sister, and I'd rather not be reminded of her, so I never listen to Korn

Corn reminds me of your sister too

Looks like I'm not the only drunk one :P

TIL Mego's parents birthed a penguin and an ear of corn.

That's some very nice-looking corn, to be honest.

@AlexA. Texas is weird, man

Egobits

I was only there for six weeks (and didn't see much at all of Texas), but I can confirm that it is indeed weird.

Alex A.

What part did you go to?

Egobits

San Antonio. USAF basic training. So maybe I'm biased.

Alex A.

6:08 AM

@Egobits I can imagine that only visiting a state for basic training may give you a skewed view of the state. :P

Texas is big and I've never been there but I just assume the whole thing sucks.

Egobits

@AlexA. Nope. Obviously it is all exactly as I experienced it :P

Alex A.

Know what?

Egobits

@AlexA. I hear Austin is nice. As in a Washingtonian would fit in there.

Q: Read an analog clock

You are given the positions of the minute and hour hands of an analog clock as an angle of clockwise rotation from the top (12). So a hand pointing at 9 is at an angle if 270, and a hand pointing exactly in between 12 and 1 is at an angle of 15. Input will be two integer angles (in any order of ...

Besides, my geoip info says something completely different from my current city

According to geoip, my IP originates from Frisco, which is very incorrect

I don't know what geoip is but it sounds like geobits

Egobits

It is exactly like that.

Geolocation based on IP

You give a database your IP address, it gives you where it thinks you are

6:16 AM

It really just gives the city where the ip block is registered, which is more and more inaccurate each year it seems.

Eww Limp Bizkit is in this playlist

Egobits

@Mego Probably because they did some stuff with Korn. I haven't gotten that far yet I guess.

Best quote from the new Deadpool movie: "I'm gonna to do to you what Limp Bizkit did to music in the late 90's."

Good thing we deleted those totally inappropriate messages. That was ban-worthy.

@Egobits Results May Vary

Alex A.

How do I find out what my geoip says?

Egobits

whatismyip.com

It should list some city.

Mine says Mount Laurel, New Jersey, which I've never heard of.

Anonymous

That one says Richardson, which is also very incorrect

Egobits

I assume Comcast registered there.

Alex A.

I also have Comcast. I really wish I didn't.

Egobits

6:20 AM

Not another good option here :/

Anonymous

I have AT&T. It's just barely not Comcast.

Egobits

Unless I want DSL. And no. I don't.

I haven't really had that many issues with Comcast, tbh. The problem is that when I have an issue with them, it's a serious issue.

Like when I moved last year. About a mile. The commercials make it look very easy. It is not. It took over two weeks for me to get my internet set up in my new place.

Alex A.

When I changed my physical address, they canceled my email address. When I called them they were like, "Oh you still wanted that?" They actually said that.

Egobits

Yea, they cancelled my whole account. I had to set up another one and give them another distinct email address.

To this day when I sign in to pay my bill, I have to consciously think about what to login as.

Occasionally (read: every 3 months) my entire area will lose internet service, and it takes going through 3 chuckleheads at AT&T for them to realize it's not our router.

Oh, I used to have a problem every time it rained when I lived in Arkansas. Turns out it was a cable they had laying on the ground that had been run over by something. I told them about it three times before I just spliced the cable and heat-shrank it.

That was CenturyLink I think.

Anonymous

If you lived in Arkansas you probably had other problems, too

Alex A.

XD

Egobits

Well, yes. I wasn't living there by choice. Seven years in Arkansas was the price I had to pay for three years in Tokyo. Worth it.

Alex A.

Why Florida now though? Washington is so much better.

It really was pretty much like you'd imagine, though.

I dunno, even then I think I'd just stay in Tokyo

I think learning guitar helped with the whole "two hands independently" thing though.

Because you can only fret a chord with so many hands.

Even still, your hands are somewhat in sync

For some parts they are. Other times they're just doing their own thing, even though it's kinda connected.
