Damn, that's quite the steep access barrier to a TLA

MBraedley

@badp I'm allowed access to some TLAs, just not TBD

badp

Do you have to become the CTO to use SOL?

user15026

@Mbraedley fair enough. I am used to writing English papers which are 90% bullshit

MBraedley

I think so, yeah

badp

Awful.

Shirtless owls laughing are surprisingly relevant in engineering

MBraedley

IDTTMWYTTM

badp

Star supplies refreshed! Quickly, waste them all on yesterday's messages!

OrigamiRobot

I CAN ONLY STAR THAT ONCE NEED MORE THINGS TO STAR

2

MBraedley

@badp How many stars are we allowed?

badp

30 iirc?

Johann

what are stars? @badp

badp

00:03

The ones appearing by messages

user15026

You are all going to be sad when you run out of stars

2

badp

You just got 2. For some reason

Yes. Yes you all are

FEichinger

STAR WARS! =D

Johann

@FEichinger so funny I wont star

MBraedley

@AshleyNunn Stars are like chocolate. You're only disappointed if you have none when you know you aren't getting any more.

badp

00:04

Luckily we've got plenty of room owners to clear silly stars, right? Right? Right?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina gets so mad when she gets starred

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn I'm not using mine. I don't want to be sad.

user15026

@feichinger smart man.

Johann

@everyone what is the point of stars

FEichinger

@badp Isn't clearing mod-only?

badp

00:05

Messages that deserve to stand up from the rest

kalina

@Johann depends who is using the stars

Johann

so...

MBraedley

@Johann It varies, but generally interesting, funny, or important messages

OrigamiRobot

@kalina It's so satisfying when you delete your messages just to get rid of the stars.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot die in a fire

2

badp

00:06

@dei fairly certain room owners can also clear stars. Which is why I'm not giving kalina the italics

FEichinger

Guys, cut it.

badp

KALINA!

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot I thought you could only delete messages within the edit window.

FEichinger

@badp Which is why kalina has italics.

kalina

I don't remove stars anyway, I delete my messages

FEichinger

00:07

@badp Aaand, on that note, I can't seem to find it. Am I just blind?

badp

Don't make me regret it then :-P

Johann

well how interesting

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord You can, but I make sure to star her while she can still delete them. It's so funny.

kalina

@badp I took no action to make you regret it last time

badp

It's in the star list menu

Powerlord

00:07

@badp Geez, you just hand out italics to everyone these days.

badp

Like by every starred message

FEichinger

@badp Aaaah, there it is. Yes, I was blind.

user15026

@powerlord he went on a crazy spree this morning

Stack Exchange

OrigamiRobot has removed OrigamiRobot from the list of this room's owners.

9

OrigamiRobot

Non-owner is the new cool.

kalina

00:08

@StackExchange damn I missed my opportunity for payback

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn Do something about it!

FEichinger

@badp I never look at the right side of that line. I see the pinning and ignore it.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot ok cool. One moment, enabling gallery mode

OrigamiRobot

@kalina All you have to to is add/remove me again.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot I would never add additional people to room owner, that would be like abuse

2

badp

00:09

@power power to the people or so they say

Johann

how much rep to be a room owner

kalina

@Johann its not rep based, it's trust based

OrigamiRobot

@kalina You are the least fun room owner.

badp

Not a matter of rep

Powerlord

AshleyNunn has added AshleyNunn to the list of this room's owners.

user15026

00:10

@powerlord I am on mobile. :(

Johann

@badp clap clap clap

user15026

You spelled it wrong

user15026

Too many e's

Powerlord

Darn, I typoed @AshleyNunn once.

badp

Ashley is a mod, no need for her to add herself

Johann

00:11

does a mod have to add you

user15026

I am here forever! Mwahahaha

badp

No.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn That is a disturbing thought.

Johann

can I be a room owner

user15026

@feichinger you like it, face it

FEichinger

00:11

@Johann The consesus is: No.

badp

You are. In the flash games room

Johann

@FEichinger wait for the community to respond

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Obviously! ♥

Johann

@badp I mean this room

FEichinger

@Johann The community responded pretty clearly in the past two days.

badp

00:12

You're awfully new here. Spend some time and blend in first

FEichinger

I'd be very surprised if that opinion changes anytime soon.

Johann

@badp I've been on stackoverflow for more than a month

badp

This community is approaching the three years old mark

Johann

yeah so 1/36

user15026

Holy crap we are old

badp

00:14

1/34. Which is not exactly impressive :-P

Maybe 1/33

MBraedley

@badp Ooh, another yearling badge coming up!

badp

It's late

Johann

well does anyone want to be room owner of flash game room

how to I appoint anyway

badp

@mbr July 7th at earliest

Info. Access. Owner.

user15026

@feichinger you are spoiling me with all those hearts ;)

FEichinger

00:16

@AshleyNunn Nah, I'm just getting less snarky about them. Need to change that.

MBraedley

@badp I don't think I get mine until august. I missed the private beta.

user15026

@feichinger awww and here I thought you were nice

user43095

Ooh, ooh, can I has owner?

Johann

@badp how do you receive invites

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn You should know me better by now.

user43095

00:17

I've been here eight months longer than @Johann

Johann

@jeffreylin_ ok nice to know

ill star that

user15026

@feichinger I keep dreaming ;)

LessPop_MoreFizz

Hi chat.

badp

Yo

Johann

@badp are you on flash games right now?

badp

00:20

I opened the tab but it's really late and I might be shutting down any time soon

Johann

@badp what do you mean

badp

Sleep

MBraedley

writing a blog post isn't nearly as fun when you've been writing a mindless design doc all day.

user15026

But it will be awesome

user15026

Hello @LessPop

MBraedley

00:24

@AshleyNunn The vote of confidence is much appreciated.

user15026

:)

MBraedley

user15026

@mbraedley that is awesome.

Johann

can someone please go on the flash games chatroom. Its a ghost town

kalina

I don't play flash games

Johann

00:28

@kalina really

kalina

nope, never

Johann

they are quite fun

kalina

they do not have the required depth to cut through my ADD

Johann

anyone else up for flash games?

badp

@Johann it's a risk of side rooms. Many have tried and failed

Johann

00:30

@badp so true

MBraedley

Even rooms like Minecraft Talk have been frozen multiple times due to inactivity.

Johann

@MBraedley wow

MBraedley

What's the plural of series? @AshleyNunn?

Ben Brocka

Serieseseses

...es

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@MBraedley I don't think there is one

badp

00:40

"Bullshit."

kalina

@MBraedley series and series

user43095

@MBraedley Series only exists in the plural form. There is no singular form.

kalina

plural is the same word

MBraedley

@jeffreylin_ I care to disagree. I can have 1 series of episodes. Series is singular, episodes is plural

Johann

what about an episodic series

or is that redundant

OrigamiRobot

00:42

1 series ahahahah
_2_ series ahahahah
___3___ series ahahahah

FEichinger

Multiline formatting b bad.

OrigamiRobot

Fuck you markdown, I'm not fixing you.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot Count? Is that you, Count?

MBraedley

Okay, I'll leave it as series. The Count has convinced me.

OrigamiRobot

No, I've abandoned this joke. I'm taking my ball and going home.

Johann

00:44

ditto @OrigamiRobot

spugsley

on a scale of 1-10, how much drama are we having today?

Unionhawk

@spugsley Hopefully -1,000,000. I haven't been paying attention

MBraedley

@spugsley I don't think there's much drama, but I've also been mostly doing my own thing.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@spugsley The drama will last forever muwah- *cough choke splutter*

Q: i can't break blocks in minecraft

My nephew got ahold of my laptop while I was playing minecraft and he pressed on random keys, so now I can't break any blocks. None of the suggestions or answers I find will work. How do I fix it?

Q: How do I glitch Phasewalk?

I've seen players who act like they're in Phasewalk (e.g., sparking with Brilliance, moving very fast, Phasewalk background sound), but they are carrying a weapon. Other effects include being completely visible and able to shoot and throw grenades. Further evidence that leads me to believe that t...

@spugsley OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!!

Unionhawk

@Lazers Huh?

badp

On the drama o meter this rates as a ⅛

F---- would sleep instead

I need to be in Milan in 11 hours t_t

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp I can enable my Go the Fuck to Sleep script

FEichinger

@Lazers Didn't we have that question yesterday already?

MBraedley

@FEichinger That's what I thought

Unionhawk

00:51

@FEichinger We did. I think.

MBraedley

From the same person

spugsley

@YiJiang'sEvilClone would you like my "Count The Fuck to Ten" story to go with it?

MBraedley

We closed it because it was a wall of text, so at least this one doesn't have that problem

Q: How do I enable shooting while Phasewalking?

I don't mean "how do I glitch Phasewalk", but once I've glitched it, what actions must one take to activate the ability to shoot and throw grenades while glitching Phasewalk? Such activation that lasts for the rest of one's stay. In Borderlands, there is a class called the Siren (A.K.A. Lilith)....

Johann

@badp what time is it in your timezone?!

MBraedley

00:53

@YiJiang'sEvilClone A little late there Yi

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@spugsley I prefer Hair Hair Everywhere

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hair Hair Everywhere was fucking awesome. I was a boss at writing when I was 10

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@MBraedley Well fine, if you don't appreciate me... *runs tearfully out of the room*

Johann

@badp my gosh get some sleep

MBraedley

00:55

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

kalina

@badp only an hour ahead of me, but I slept during most of the day

badp

There's only one hour's difference at all times

Johann

woah mindflip

@kalina you sleep most of the day!

Q: Possessive and plural of "Series"

I'm looking at the financial definition of series: a group of stocks or options that have common characteristics. Source How would I form the possessive and plural of this term? I'm guessing it is series' and series respectively. Sample sentences, not sure of correctness: He purchased one s...

grammar grammatical-number possessive

user43095

00:57

If you are talking about one series: "This series' value is unmatched"

user43095

If you are talking about multiple series: "These series' values are unmatched."

MBraedley

Of course it's on EL&U

why didn't I think of that?

spugsley

@MBraedley I hate them.

user43095

I googled it.

spugsley

don't go there

Johann
