Oh! @AshleyNunn That image you pinged me with is now my phone wallpaper.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@William and I'm saying that it is, more often than it's used, even if it isn't always.

William

I am not asking for improvements to the system.

Wipqozn

@William No one is disagreeing with you there.

user15026

@Tristan AWESOME :D Glad you liked it! I saw it, and I was like OMG @Tristan HAS to see this. :D

TylerShads

02:00

@William Isn't that the point of a complaint? To offer an improvement? If not, then its just senseless whining.

Wipqozn

Also, you asked for an explanation for why your question was down voted, I'm offering you one. I'm not saying your answer is bad or anything.

William

Trrue. Point taken.

WOW PEOPLE! GIVE A CHANCE TO TYPE! GEEZ!

Tristan

@AshleyNunn It was amazing. =3 Thank you!

Wipqozn

@William Never.

StrixVaria

@William I'm a professional typer I type too fast to give other people chances.

user15026

02:01

@William No worries - you can always reply to older stuff, we will follow :)

William

I'm on a netbook.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I won't. I'm a dick.

user15026

@Tristan No problem! I like sharing awesomeness. :)

TylerShads

@William A) the reply button is your friend B) This is basically a nicer version of IRC, expect lots of text :)

user15026

@Wipqozn Right.

TylerShads

02:02

@Wipqozn Hi Richard!

FAE

@TylerShads Except I can't actually use this chat in an IRC client...

William

@TylerShads I am just discussing the tool.

FYI, SE chat is way better then IRC.

user15026

OMG, my dad's middle name is Richard. I had gleeful fun as a child when I realized Dick was a nickname for people named Richard. XD

agent86

@FAE someday :)

TylerShads

@FAE Yeah, but you get to have ~~shit~~ MARKDOWN!!

William

02:03

Whoa, that was 3 acronyms in one sentence.

user15026

@FAE ....I have no idea what IRC is XD

Wipqozn

@TylerShads I laughed pretty hard. That was good.

TylerShads

@Wipqozn that was corny as hell

Tristan

@AshleyNunn My dad's first name is Richard. =P

agent86

@AshleyNunn a chat system that is very, very old

FAE

02:03

@TylerShads I I'd prefer being able to use this chat in irssi :P

Wipqozn

@TylerShads I love corny jokes.

TylerShads

@AshleyNunn essentially, this type of chat, lots of people, bullshitting around, in a rapid-fire-like environment

FAE

@Tristan My dad worked with someone named Richard Head

Wipqozn

In other words I have terrible taste in comedy.

William

This room is too fast for William.

user15026

02:03

@agent86 Haha I suspect I missed it because my internet life started with AOL. I mean my parents had dial up until 2 years ago.

Tristan

@FAE That's perfect. lol

Tim Stone

@FAE There are some bridges, but they aren't well-maintained at the moment, I don't think....plus all the problems that result from such things.

William

Ask Ubtunu chat is too slow for William.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn So did mine, I still remember IRC. :P

Mana

@RavenDreamer Caught up now. Wat.

agent86

02:04

@AshleyNunn yeah, IRC's one of those crusty old protocols that's been around since the dark ages.

TylerShads

@FAE High school teacher, Richard Ryder, I'll let the lulz come about

user15026

@FAE Oh, man XD

William

lol

Portali5t

okk thats too much

TylerShads

@William this isn't even during peak hours.

Mana

02:04

@William Really? I left that place because it was too zany and confusing.

FAE

@TimStone Yeah, I've looked at the existing ones and they seem unhandy so I haven't bothered. :/ I just hate having to have my browser open for chat.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Ones exposure to IRC is directly related to how interested they are in the seedier side of the internet these days in my experience.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz AOL, and parents locking crap down so I couldn't go past AOL Kids Only til I was ....14? 15?

William

Ask Ubuntu chat is boring.

FAE

@AshleyNunn The guy named his son William, who was called Willy.

Wipqozn

02:05

@William It gets faster.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@William We are more fun.

user15026

@FAE Oh, that is just MEAN

Wipqozn

@William That's because it isn't The Bridge.

TylerShads

@AshleyNunn The owner and general manager of where I work still use AOL desktop to this day...

FAE

@AshleyNunn Yeeeeeep

StrixVaria

02:05

I bought 99% dark chocolate today. They warned me that it wasn't like normal dark chocolate, but I didn't listen. I should have listened.

William

@AshleyNunn Boy, do I know how that is.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I knew a guy in high school named Michael Hoch.

user15026

@TylerShads I remember being DELIGHTED when my laptop decided that it wouldn't run AOL, even though my parents were like IT IS SO AWESOME

FAE

@StrixVaria That's gotta be bitter

TylerShads

@StrixVaria Could be worse, could be Sheeple

Tim Stone

02:05

@FAE I was going to put some time in to improve that situation, but as someone who commits to doing too much extra stuff and has his browser open all the time, it kind of fell off my radar. :/

StrixVaria

@FAE It's unbelievably bitter.

user15026

@William grins Glad I am not the only one XD

TylerShads

@AshleyNunn shudder

William

Let's play can you keep up witht he bridge?

FAE

@StrixVaria That percentage is usually only used in like, baking

Portali5t

02:06

I LOSE

FAE

not general consumption

William

@AshleyNunn Hey, my folks still haven't figured out the pointlessness of parental controls.

StrixVaria

Even an entire glass of milk didn't counteract the bitter-ness of a tiny, tiny piece of 99% dark chocolate.

user15026

@StrixVaria The highest I will tolerate eating is 80.

Sterno

Crap. My game keeps crashing when I enter a certain room for Priority: Horizon

FAE

02:06

@TimStone sobs

TylerShads

@William you have SUMMONED Inglip

William

This chat sucks on a netbook screen. Before you have time to read a message it's gone.

user15026

@StrixVaria :(

LessPop_MoreFizz

When I get back to NY, I need to buy a bar from mast Bros. Haven't had one in ages.

StrixVaria

@AshleyNunn I'm going to have to figure out my percentage, but it's well below 99% for sure.

William

02:06

sighs

user15026

Yeah, that should be like for making sugary brownies only or something.

Portali5t

I just hate dark chocolate

StrixVaria

I like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate, but definitely not that dark.

FAE

@AshleyNunn I can take up to 89%

StrixVaria

I can't even eat white chocolate.

FAE

02:07

I hated dark chocolate before I moved to the NL

William

Racist.

Tim Stone

@FAE Maybe one day, after I finish fixing up all the remaining Data Explorer things on my list. :P

William

lol

user15026

@StrixVaria That is so not even food in my opinion

FAE

@TimStone Haha, I won't hold my breath

To me, choclate is choclate.

LessPop_MoreFizz

is basically the best thing ever.

Portali5t

why did me3 have to integrate real life cash in the multiplayer?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@William That just means you've never had good chocolate.

William

And choclate is awesome.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I want ALL OF THOSE

LessPop_MoreFizz

02:08

@Portali5t Because EA likes money.

user15026

@William Oh, noooo. No no no.

Tim Stone

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh yeah, I think you mentioned this before and I told myself I needed to try it, and have still yet to do so. |:

Wipqozn

@Portali5t Because the people at EA are dicks.

FAE

I really moved to the wrong country

I don't have a sweet tooth at all

William

@Portali5t Because they felt they needed more money. Reminds me of a certain OS maker I know of....

Sterno

02:08

Other people are crashing in the same place I am. The fix? Change the game to windowed mode and walk through the door backwards. That's awesome.

FAE

But man, the NL loves their candy and sweet stuff

Portali5t

Yeah, but isn't that over the top?I mean, Once you've payed 60 bucks for a game, you'd expect to be done shelling out.

user15026

@FAE Haha, yeah, I can see how that would be a problem..... *loves hagelslag on buttered toast"

William

But they want more. MOAR I say!

FAE

@AshleyNunn I can't eat sweet for breakfast! I just can't do it!

I'm more of a salty snacker :(

William

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, but there is such a thing as taking it over the top.

Wipqozn

JEez @StrixVaria, took you long enough to star that comment about EA being dicks.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Sorry I'm also playing DrawSomething.

user15026

02:10

@FAE I -love- it Although I like the gestampte muisjes better, tbh. I like the anise flavour.

Tim Stone

@FAE Case in point. I "WTF?"ed when I saw that.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria I'm surprised you didn't take him up on the opportunity to star it twice.

StrixVaria

@LessPop_MoreFizz Good point.

Portali5t

Exactly- thats just retarded though it makes me sick and tired of mass effect's gross attempts to (somewhat) reasonably monetize their games

StrixVaria

I never run out of stars anyway.

William

02:10

For example, the whole secure boot thing. Saying you can't use a competitor's product on certain computers. That's just illegal.

The Clock Stopper achievement/trophy requires getting 100 consecutive "Great!" ratings on the Mog Clock. I've been grinding this out, but after 50 of them, I missed one.

@AshleyNunn If, by awesome, you mean insane, yes.

William

02:11

Don't get me started :)

FAE

@TimStone Haha, yeah, I think I've eaten half of one, once. I couldn't eat the whole thing.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria something negative about EA

user15026

@FAE Haha, I never used to like it. Like I don't get putting anise blokjes in milk/tea, but on toast? Heck yes.

Portali5t

I just wish the game would have been cheaper since the multiplay is a money sucker

William

Ha Ha @Lazers. Your messages have been eaten by the low screen res monster.

FAE

02:12

@AshleyNunn Jochem loves warm anijsmelk, I can't take it.

Unless anise is in absinthe, I don't touch consume it, haha

Portali5t

so basically, once you hit the 200 rep limit everything else you get enters the abyss?

user15026

@FAE Warm milk in general makes me shudder. Warm anijsmelk just....no. Especially when made with fresh goat's milk, which I do not like. (My aunt and uncle raise goats)

William

@Portali5t Pretty much.

user15026

@Portali5t For that day, yes, unless it is an accept or a bounty.

Portali5t

ok that just is lame

I like stroepwafles or however theyre spelt

@AshleyNunn Oliebollen are delicious.

StrixVaria

I don't know anything about the Dutch. When I had to draw Holland in DrawSomething I drew a windmill and a blonde woman with clogs.

@StrixVaria It highly amuses me what Americans think the Netherlands is like. Also, calling it Holland is wrong.

StrixVaria

@FAE Holland is only part of the Netherlands, I know.

But the word I had to get them to type was Holland.

Not "The Netherlands".

William

02:16

Man. Those Americans.... :)

StrixVaria

Plus most people here don't know that, anyway.

They think the whole place is Holland.

Portali5t

it took me a while to tell the difference between Dutch and Deutsch

FAE

Yeah. People from Brabant or Groningen might get uppity though if you called them Hollanders, haha.

user15026

@FAE Oh man. My family gets sooo irritated over this. My grandmother was born in North Holland, and my grandfather in the South, so my grandmother always gets very defensive. XD

TylerShads

@Portali5t Nah, if I didn't like him, he'd find himself randomly kicked out of this room xD

FAE

02:17

@Portali5t This is why the Pennsylvania Dutch are called Dutch even though they have nothing to do with the Dutch.

Piggy bank

Piggy bank (sometimes penny bank or money box) is the traditional name of a coin accumulation and storage receptacle; it is most often, but not exclusively, used by children. The piggy bank is known to collectors as a "still bank" as opposed to the "mechanical banks" popular in the early 20th century. These items are also often used by corporations for promotional purposes. Their shape is most often that of a little pig. Many financial services companies use piggy banks as logos for their savings products. Piggy banks are typically made of ceramic or porcelain, and serve as a pedagogi...
