GraceNote IS A HERO BY ASSOCIATION

More like a phone operator, sorta-kinda?

HAPPY?

Well, there's also the part where I probably won't be crowned a real hero until something is changed about how flags are handled in chat.

Also... AutoCAD?

SKM, BUT THE SAME REASONING

@GraceNote What are you trying to do?

...welp, I just nearly stupided.

IT'S OK, I STUPID ALL THE TIME

Made some buffalo rice yesterday. Use metal spoons and bowls because metal is easier to clean than white dishware. Decide to heat some up for lunch. Use a metal bowl because metal is easier to clean than white dishware. Put bowl in microwave to heat up.

@GraceNote Well, that would've been fun times.

4:09 PM

@GraceNote Don't microwaves all have safety systems that prevent things from exploding anyway?

FAE

@GraceNote Woo sparks!

@badp You have some pretty fancy microwaves.

People that do "will it wave" vidoes on YouTube mention having to remove those safety systems beforehand

That's my source.

@FAE I caught myself in time, hence why it was "just nearly stupided".

Fun fact: Putting metal in microwaves doesn't damage the microwave! It does tarnish the metal however.

4:10 PM

I LIKE PUTTING GRAPES IN MICROWAVES AND WATCHING THE SPARKS

I'm less worried about damage to the bowl or the microwave as much as setting my food on fire.

That's how @BenBrocka cooks. It works for him

Q: Are enemy models looking at what they look or at what they shoot?

Also it would make the bowl really, really hard to hold for eating.

In first person shooters, normally, there's no difference between "what you're looking at" and "where you're shooting." Your weaponry is "head mounted" and you're always aiming at the center of your screen. There is now a general expectation that people that shoot at you also look at you, and, c...

@GraceNote I have a Chinese porcelain bowl (the kind with rice baked into it for decoration) and I went to heat something in it once, completely forgetting that the rim had a thin metal coating.

4:11 PM

@FAE We have a set of bowls like that as well. Well, minus the rice part.

@FAE I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, EXCEPT I WAS AT SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE AND HAD NO IDEA THE RIM WAS ACTUALLY METAL.

I once put cereal in my tomato soup. I was out of crackers.

4:22 PM

@ShotgunNinja Did it set on fire, though?

It's not really a beach party.

@badp No, I just like seeing surviving Kerbals more. :P

@FEichinger So long as you can get there in 3 days or so

@RonanForman Oh, come on. There's a beach somewhere!

Quite a way from any beaches.

KSP needs boats for me to get them back to shore.

4:23 PM

@badp Yes. Caught the drapes on fire as well. Damn stove.

@badp I'm still trying to figure out planes to collect them ... Needless to say, it doesn't work that well.

I can't get them, back in the capsule.

@OrigamiRobot Oh, I know. I'm excited! =D

Also, I'd heard Eccleston said yes. =(

@FEichinger I thought he changed his mind.

4:30 PM

@FEichinger YOU'RE BAD AT MATH AND DOCTOR WHO

I have to end each of these 8 flights separately. groan

I really like 11, but I prefer the episodes with 10. Mostly because since Season 6 Moffat has been rather terrible.

@OrigamiRobot MATH IS RUBBISH.

:o

@FEichinger APPLES ARE RUBBISH

4:30 PM

This chat is distracting

moffat doesn't understand the con- wait, I think I've made a joke about this before.

@OrigamiRobot I AGREE.

@OrigamiRobot DOESN'T MATTER THO.

I WILL SAY, 9'S ENDING WAS FAR SUPERIOR TO 10'S

@AmaanCheval now you've done it. I'm now distracted thinking about stuff that isn't chatting, like showers

@OrigamiRobot 10'S ENDING WAS RUBBISH. BUT 11 WAS RUBBISH ALL ALONG.

@Wipqozn Moffat has always been rather terrible.

4:31 PM

@OrigamiRobot Why didn't he open the door with a stick?

@FEichinger NO, 11 IS GREAT AND YOU ARE RUBBISH

Moffat is not good with long arcs.

Mar 20 at 14:45, by Wipqozn

Moffat doesn't seem to understand the concept of pacing and build-up. He must be a terrible lover.

like, "oh man I really enjoyed today's shower. Should I have another or should I wait tomorrow?"

@FEichinger Is it awesome?

@badp YOUR DOG IS RUBBISH!

@Sconibulus Haven't opened it yet :P

What Moffat does seem to struggle with is pacing, and being subtle.

Blink is the best!

@OrigamiRobot YES HE IS TERRIBLE AT EXISTING

2

Touche

@FEichinger RECTIFY IMMEDIATELY!

4:33 PM

@Wipqozn As I said, he sucks as long arcs. Single episodes, sometimes great and awesome. But running the show? No way.

I need to know how excited I should be about mine maybe being at home when I get there

@FEichinger Yeah, I'd agree with that, and I have a similiar thoughts.

I thought season 5 was good, but it may have just been because Moffat was being cautious.

@FEichinger THE PANDORICA ARC WAS NICE

I MISS BAD WOLF :(

I found since season 6 he's trying to hard to make everything really dark, and just keeps rushing through stories. He never seems to have any downtime.

@OrigamiRobot SAME HERE.

4:35 PM

There is a reason the template for a good story is usually rising action, climax, falling action, et cetera.

Because if you were always at the climax it's just exhausting, and starts to feel flat.

@FEichinger Ehm?

AS FAR AS FINALES, I'D SAY MASTER > BADWOLF > PANDORICA = DAVROS > DOOMSDAY > WEDDING

SaintWacko

BURN

I'm really not sure which ordering I'd for. I would have wedding at the bottom of the list though. I hated wedding. It was terrible.

@Wipqozn I WOULDN'T BE SAD IF ALL OF SEASON 6 DISAPPEARED AND ONLY "THE DOCTOR'S WIFE" WAS LEFT FROM IT.

4:44 PM

I didn't like the Master one much... The Doctor turning into an angel? That just felt like "OH CRAP! I wrote a badguy that was too strong... umm.... uh... FIXED! Lunchtime"

@Sconibulus WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

@OrigamiRobot I REALLY WISH I COULD FIND A QUOTE OF MARKTRAPP SAYING "CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR TRUE"

Oh, wait, nevermind

There were two different master season finales, weren't there

one of which was good

I was thinking about the one from Martha's season

@Sconibulus THAT WAS THE BEST ONE. THERE WERE NO ANGELS...

THE END OF TIME WAS GOOD UNTIL THE END

The doctor absorbed the Archangel network, gained silly powers that didn't make any sense, and magic'd everything to ok again

4:47 PM

@OrigamiRobot Wouldn't you say the "End" was kind of the point, though? :P

SaintWacko

Why is @OrigamiRobot yelling?

@Sconibulus HE DIDN'T GAIN ANY SILLY POWERS, HE JUST STOPPED BEING OLD

3

I feel justified in saying he turned into an angel

SaintWacko

@Sconibulus He did look pretty angelic

I was under the impression he gained control of all the psychic energy being utilized by the archangel network. Or something.

4:48 PM

@SaintWacko WORK

He did gain silly powers, he flew, then magic'd the Master's screwdriver, and I think did some other stuff

@Sconibulus HE ABSORBED THE PSYCHIC ENERGY OF THE ARCHANGEL NETWORK. HE FIXED EVERYTHING BY TURNING OFF THE PARADOX MACHINE

TURNING SOMETHING OFF ISN'T MAGIC

I prefer this yelling @OrigamiRobot.

IT'S JUST TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE TO TURN CAPS LOCK ON FOR WORK, OFF FOR CHAT, ON FOR WORK, OFF FOR CHAT, AD INFINITUM

why do you need caps for work?

AUTOCAD AND/OR SKM

CAPS ARE EASIER TO READ ON DRAWINGS. OUR CAD STANDARDS REQUIRE ALL CAPS.

Fluttershy

4:57 PM

@Sconibulus I dunno if I'd say too broad... But someone needs to tell him to stop signing every damn post...

Oh, yeah, good point... I don't always notice that

@OrigamiRobot Have you considered sticky keys?

@badp That doesn't help in this situation.

@GraceNote fight capslock with shift-lock!

StickyKeys is an accessibility option for "I have problems holding the shift button down to type a singular capital letter". Not for caps lock nonesuch.

5:03 PM

oh. You have to press shift for every letter? Boo.

If you were using StickyKeys, yeah.

then you could just get used to some great pinky workout

heh... that's better than some people I know

@OrigamiRobot Don't you have caps-only fonts to go with your standards?

I have a friend that didn't know about shift-capitalizing, and so hits capslock for every capital

5:04 PM

@badp WHAT AUTOCAD NEEDS IS AN OPTION TO AUTOCONVERT ALL TEXT TO CAPS WITHIN THE PROGRAM.

I'm sure you could do that...

@badp NO, PLUS RIGHT NOW I'M USING SKM WHICH NEEDS CAPS FOR THE SAME REASONS BUT IS EVEN LESS USER FRIENDLY

@Sconibulus Nope. Having had to wrangle this stuff myself, there ain't.

@Sconibulus I'M SURE I COULD BUT THAT'S A HASSLE.

@OrigamiRobot cadtutor.net/forum/…

5:06 PM

I'D RATHER JUST FORCE EVERYONE ELSE TO SHARE MY MISERY.

@FEichinger STILL A HASSLE.

@OrigamiRob ...don't you already have a few home-made chat "plugins?"

@OrigamiRobot You asked for an option. not for one without a hassle. :P

ctrlA, shift-ctrl-u

and you can probably script that into the save button

@badp That's for chat, though. That's like, having ice cream versus having angry badgers on your face.

The latter is a hassle, the first isn't.

I'm trying to come up with a reason why you'd prefer angry badgers on your face to an ice cream. I'd make a terrible cracked editor, or whatever that's called.

5:08 PM

@FEichinger I SAID "AUTOCONVERT" AS IN "WITHOUT ME HAVING TO DO ANYTHING"

iF YOU GUYS PREFER, i CAN TYPE LIKE THIS. iT'S EVEN WORSE.

$("#input").on("keyup", function(){$("#input")[0].value = $("#input")[0].value.tolowercase()})

it also encourages proper use of end of sentence punctuation, so long as you don't mind lowercase everything.

You're welcome to shiver at $("#input")[0] though.

5:38 PM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm rather interested in how I could've avoided $("#foo")[0].value

@badp $("#foo").val()

yeah... I hate that kind of setter.

It probably makes sense for multiple objects

Well, since you're selecting by ID by definition the collection will only contain a single element

You end up with stuff like $("#foo").val($("#foo").val().tolowercase)

You can't really avoid that. Even native DOM functions are like that - setAttribute, etc.

5:40 PM

does Javascript have properties à la Visual Basic/Python/etc.?

Not sure what you mean by that

@YiJiang'sEvilClone The DOM gets away with it. See the .value assignment I did before

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Basically opt-in syntactical sugar around assignments, so that when you think you're assigning a value to a field you're really calling a setter

docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#property

Not really, no. There's no equivalent to the magic __set__ function found in some languages, at least not until ECMAScript Harmony's Proxy proposal lands

Well, at least that shows somebody thinks they're a good idea.
