Krazer

but they go well together.

StrixVaria

Krazer

@StrixVaria Actually the saltiness of the fried chicken really helps bring out the flavor of the watermelon. In certain Asian countries, people like to sprinkle a bit of salt on their watermelon as they eat it.

OrigamiRobot

@Krazer I like salt on my watermelon.

Chicken and waffles

Chicken and waffles is a dish combining waffles, a breakfast food, with (usually) fried chicken. It is served in certain specialty restaurants in the United States. The more commonly known, soul food version of the dish is made by serving fried chicken with a waffle, the waffle then typically being covered with butter and/or syrup (as is common practice among those who eat waffles for breakfast in the United States). This unusual combination of foods is beloved by many people who are influenced by traditions of soul food passed down from past generations of their families. The tradition...

StrixVaria

@LessPop_MoreFizz After my vacation to Florida, where I rented a car, I can say with confidence that the U-turn is far superior to the jughandle.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot It means not-sweet basically. Often, but not exclusively salty.

StrixVaria

I had simply never experienced it before.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria U-Turn nothing, just a simple left turn lane is perfectly fine.

StrixVaria

There is a lot of infrastructure that doesn't allow for that currently. I wonder what the ramifications would be.

OrigamiRobot

9:30 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz So it is basically the "brunette" of tastes?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot ... not quite, but close enough.

@OrigamiRobot In general, for example, most meat tastes would be described as 'savory'.

StrixVaria

Umami

Umami , a savory taste, is one of the five basic tastes, together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty. A loanword from the Japanese , umami can be translated "pleasant savory taste". This particular writing was chosen by Professor Kikunae Ikeda from umai (うまい) "delicious" and mi (味) "taste". The kanji 旨味 are used for a more general meaning to describe a food as delicious. The human tongue has receptors for L-glutamate, which is the source of umami flavor. For that reason, scientists consider umami to be distinct from saltiness. Background Scientists debated whether umami was a basic tas...

I accept that you say that, but that doesn't make it mean anything.

user15026

Great. Took the wrong 8 bus. I am going to be riding for a while...

StrixVaria

9:33 PM

@AshleyNunn Why do they bother labeling buses if the correct label can still be the wrong bus?

user15026

@strixvaria because they are terrible. Unlike the 7, which is 7A, 7B, 7C etc, the 8 is a lot harder to figure out.

user15026

At least for me.

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria Most buses go in two directions.

StrixVaria

This is why I don't use mass transit.

I could never figure out which train was which in Newark Penn Station. I always had to ask an attendant.

Grace Note

Since I live in Mass, do I count as always using Mass transit?

OrigamiRobot

9:39 PM

I have never had to use any kind of public transportation, unless you count school buses.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Public transportation cuts my commute time from 15 minutes to 10. That's 10 extra minutes per day!

fbueckert

@JasonBerkan And increases by reading time by several minutes!

user15026

I don't have a car, can't afford it, so I take the bus and read or play video games.

fbueckert

And lowers fuel costs, parking costs, and all the other associated rigamarole that comes with using your vehicle.

OrigamiRobot

@AshleyNunn My car was given to me, as was my previous car.

user15026

9:41 PM

I can't afford gas, parking pass at school, insurance, etc etc etc

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I don't go anywhere I'd need to pay to park.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot I work downtown. Parking's definitely paid.

Plus insurance is higher.

OrigamiRobot

Gross

Jason Berkan

@fbueckert Working downtown is where mass transit makes the most sense.

fbueckert

@JasonBerkan The company I work for will pay for a parking spot for me, but I still have to pay the higher insurance premiums. And the gas.

OrigamiRobot

9:45 PM

I would probably have a panic attack if I rode a bus or a train.

Jason Berkan

@fbueckert Yeah, my company will pay for parking, or they will pay for the bus. My choice.

Ben Brocka

Despite being only 15 minutes away I have no mass transit options. No interstate busses

@StrixVaria That's kinda BS, Umami isn't accepted as an actual 5th basic taste by psychologists

It was basically a marketing push by MSG producers

fbueckert

@JasonBerkan Mine SHOULD pay for the bus; probably cheaper for them to do so.

user15026

My transit is part of my tuition and partially subsidized.

Jason Berkan

@fbueckert That's why they happily pay for my bus. It's $60 / month versus $400 / month.

user15026

9:48 PM

(I pay $147 per term instead of $60 a month)

user15026

no, 127.

Equipment at quarries probably decreases in value at a similar rate. I can't imagine many people buy used loaders and conveyor belts

@BenBrocka Why? Places will do anything to save a buck. As long as they meet code, they go as cheap as they can.

badp

I followed a 100-tweets-per-minute hashtag for a hour. My head is now rotten

OrigamiRobot

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot I have no idea honestly, I don't deal with any of the non-tech equipment. I just figure moving around thousands of tons of rock 5 days a week would reduce the value of just about anything

@badp There's a reason it doesn't auto-update

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I was just arguing about the "nobody buying used" part.

Ben Brocka

10:05 PM

I just meant for quarry crap. They're not exactly pretty

badp

@BenBrocka I sought for one that did. However, nothing can quite keep up with 100 tweets per minute

After a while it fell behind by 20 minutes or 8,000+ tweets

Jason Berkan

Can you even read that fast?

badp

I can pretend

I wanted to get the pulse of the twitter audience anyway, given that the show is what the tweets are talking about anyway; the only interesting part is the reaction

Ben Brocka

@badp Twitter's hashtag landing page will show you just the "top" ones and continue to show you like 20 new ones as they roll in. It's a much less overwhelming affair but it gives you much of the same impression

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka I wouldn't be so sure. Used tools/industrial equipment is a pretty robust market.

badp

Hello The Bridge. I want to ask a question about running a Minecraft (CraftBukkit) server over multiple CPU cores (I have a machine with 2x quad-core cpus in) - is that on-topic here or would it be better on SuperUser or another site?

The Wiki says Minecraft servers, as of 1.1.0, can use multiple cores, so now they will not sit idle. but doesn't give any more detail than that.

Q: Can I omit certain lines from the Minecraft console?

Whenever somebody logs into my server, I see all of these lines that I have no use for. I know what they are for, but I don't need them clogging up console space. Is there any way I can remove this?

hosting minecraft-server

tombull89

@Wipqozn Okay, it would be the creation of the batch file to set number of cores, if possible. say you've got java xmx1g craftbukkit.jar can you set cores to run on, is it even possible, and if so, where do you do it?

Wipqozn

@tombull89 I'd say that would be on-topic, since you're essentially asking about setting up a minecraft server, and the settings required in a minecraft specific file.
