11:01 AM

tl;dr got kicked off the internet for being a dick, came back with a vengence, author of a lot of heavily-downvoted MSO proposals - MSO Profile - and managed to get a phone call from Jeff who was concerned for his sanity. Banned on and off on various sites, number of chat bans and altogether quite an odd person.

I certainly feel a little more brain damaged after reading his site and the wikipedia link above

3

Also saying his name is enough to get him in the room, so expect a visit shortly.

@tombull89 Even without an @? Wow.

@fredley yup - we guess he does a network-wide chat search every so often to see where he's been mentioned.

Q: How do I adjust the FoV for Metro Last Light?

The default FoV is just too narrow. There was a way you could do this in 2033 but it doesn't seem to work for this game. How do I change it?

metro-last-light

11:03 AM

@tombull89 That's...quite sad

ok so Evan's purpose is to point out how wrong everybody is, act as a human punchbag, and allow others to test out the downvoting functionality built into SE?

He has 163 Arqade rep, but no questions or answers?

@fredley edits?

@kalina Must be, he has the badge

nope

11:06 AM

They're not listed.

Maybe because they're too old

his rep change is 2x 15

you can't get 15 rep from edits

multiples of 2

@kalina I see no rep change?

Oh yes I do

you are bad at stackexchange

2

Yes

Now to find the deleted question...

I would go with question as well

it could of course be a question and an answer

each with 2 upvotes

or a question with 6 upvotes

11:09 AM

Fine, post

I bet it's along the line of "how do I beat StackExchange"

to him, StackExchange is a game.

with him having an editor badge, it's likely he picked up a downvote as well

so it's probably +7-1

stackexchange is a game

it falls under "mmo"

@tombull89 You're on The Bridge here ...

and is basically a numbers grinding game

don't take my distorted view of reality away from me

I will get bored if it turns into a Q&A site

@fredley 4 posts, all deleted

@fredley these comments are quite special

Here's a representative line:

> Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions from this account. See goo.gl/C1Kwu to learn more.

chuckle.

you are mean, withholding information that I have access to but cannot search for from me

Here's the thing, there's probably a reason why I have access to this stuff and you don't, and that's because we're probably not supposed to hand out those links willy nilly for some name and shame action -- like yesterday's.

11:17 AM

you are probably right, but it's not me who will get in trouble for handing out the links

so no, I don't feel comfortable to link you directly. Lazers has most likely posted it. You are most likely bored at work.

Hmm, Oculus Rift is just $300? Interesting. Too bad about the resolution, but it might be fun anyway.

@badp O_O

I hadn't even thought of that

@MartinSojka $300 + $MONTHS, afaik they're still shipping the kickstarter units

BRB!

11:18 AM

Only bad thing about it is that I'll likely have to wear contact lenses.

@MartinSojka They say you can wear eyeglasses underneath the Rift, you just need to do the initial calibration bare-eyed

apparently you can't search for things said by lazers

@badp Depends on the glasses, I guess. We'll see. :)

@kalina chat.stackexchange.com/search?q=http&user=-23&room=35

interesting

when I put -23 in as the user id it returned nothing

eh, lazers used to be called bob

there are 30k messages, I'm not that interested

11:23 AM

Spamotron, Servbot, etc.

what is the maximum number of flag for mod flags you can have?

FUCKING CAR HORN AGAIN

@OrigamiRobot awww poor you

here, have a skittle

My phone battery is surviving a lot better today

I called the police this time.

I was told there was already an officer here.

Lol

You called the police over somebody using their cat horn?

11:29 AM

No, it's not someone using it.

@kalina Lol

It's just happening on it's own.

Cat Horn

For hours

Car too

11:30 AM

Two mornings in a row.

Blah @fredley

@kalina Cat horns are quite different from car horns

Blame the android keyboard

@kalina SwiftKey

It's a shame there isn't a mobile review queue

11:31 AM

@kalina There's hardly a mobile anything

So painful to review on a phone

If this doesn't get fixed soon, the police will need to be here for when I go insane.

@OrigamiRobot Earplugs/headphones

Actually, it's quite impressive that the car's battery has lasted this long

@fredley Sleeping in earmuffs is not comfortable.

Q: What are your thoughts on AR code requests?

I noticed that the action-replay tag was created recently having to do with what seems to be AR code requests. I know that we've always supported cheats or various console commands (aka skyrim) but those questions usually deal with built in cheating mechanisms within the games themselves. What ...

11:36 AM

@fredley This has been going on since 4-5am. Same yesterday.

@OrigamiRobot Earplugs though. Get some decent silicon ones. I sleep with them in every night.

@OrigamiRobot I'm guessing that threatening to shoot the owner won't work as well in the US as it does in the UK

@kalina It will work just fine, I'm just not going to do that.

set fire to the car int he middle of the night

LEAVE NO EVIDENCE though

I'd imagine it'd work better over here since there's less chance that someone would be bluffing.

Statistically speaking.

11:39 AM

true

It's not even an alarm.

It's just the horn.

Continuously.

I told you, set fire to it

if you can, start the fire under the bonnet so that it looks like it died by itself

oh, you call it the hood

trolol

UNDER THE HOOD

That'd be likely to set my apartment on fire.

SET FIRE TO IT

well then you can sue to the owner of the car

Horn overheated and burned down a whole block. Seems legit.

11:41 AM

yep

electrical fault, I'm sure an electrical engineer would be able to fake one of those

It's probably an electrical fault that's causing it in the first place.

Nothing to fake.

THIS IS PROBABLY TRUE

Just melt holes into the car with thermite until you hit something essential for the horn to work

2

Oh thank god, it stopped.

@MadScientist Thermite is the solution to most annoying things

11:46 AM

@fredley I should try using thermite on my ex then, is what you're saying

I will tell the police that the internet told me to do it

@MadScientist I already have magnesium ribbon.

@kalina It would solve at least a subset of your problems with him

It can be a bit tricky to ignite it, you'll have to tell him to keep still until it burns

25 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot

@MadScientist I already have magnesium ribbon.

Rust and aluminium are easy to obtain

couldn't I use something like diesel to make the mixture damp and sticky?

11:48 AM

For humans there are lots of other ways, thermite is a bit overkill for that

acccccid.

I wonder if the police will visit me if I buy all the ingredients to make anfo

be warned the finger nails will take a while

anfo?

Q: Is it actually possible to dispose of a body with hydrofluoric acid?

In the TV show "Breaking Bad", Walter White frequently gets rid of people who get in his way by submerging them in a plastic container full of hydrofluoric acid. This, at least in the TV show, completely dissolves the body leaving nothing but a red sludge behind at the end. Is it actually possib...

everyday-chemistry acid-base safety

11:49 AM

@kalina Buy the ingredients from different shops, one at a time, over the course of a month or two

ANFO (or AN/FO, for ammonium nitrate/fuel oil) is a widely used bulk industrial explosive mixture. It consists of 94 percent porous prilled ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), (AN) that acts as the oxidizing agent and absorbent for the fuel – six percent number 2 fuel oil (FO). ANFO has found wide use in coal mining, quarrying, metal mining, and civil construction in undemanding applications where the advantages of ANFO's low cost and ease of use matter more than the benefits offered by conventional industrial explosives, such as water resistance, oxygen balance, high detonation velocity, and ...

Use super acid!

mythbusters and breaking bad turned me into a psychopathic killer

add in the knowledge I gained from watching Dexter and I will be a serial killer by the time I'm 30

lol

@djsmiley2k No, magic acid

11:51 AM

thinking you'll get far unless you go on a rampage from watching the common media is lols

@fredley that's it!

|Section2 = |Section3 = }} Magic acid (FSO3H-SbF5), is a superacid consisting of a mixture, most commonly in a 1:1 molar ratio, of fluorosulfuric acid (HSO3F) and antimony pentafluoride (SbF5). This conjugate Bronsted-Lewis superacid system was developed in the 1960s by the George Olah lab at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, and has been used to stabilize carbocations and hypercoordinated carbonium ions in liquid media. Magic Acid and other superacids are also used to catalyze isomerization of saturated hydrocarbons, and have been shown to protonate even weak bases, includi...

yus, that.

Or Dioxygen Difluoride

@djsmiley2k I'll pick off easy targets, ones that won't get missed

and then melt them

@kalina such as....?

11:52 AM

This article about Dioxygen Diflouride is a very entertaining read

prostutes get noticed.

@djsmiley2k such as members of the american government

like the president

@fredley You'd likely kill yourself while trying to create the stuff

> And yes, what happens next is just what you think happens: you run a mixture of oxygen and fluorine through a 700-degree-heating block. "Oh, no you don't," is the common reaction of most chemists to that proposal, ". . .not unless I'm at least a mile away, two miles if I'm downwind." This, folks, is the bracingly direct route to preparing dioxygen difluoride, often referred to in the literature by its evocative formula of FOOF.

@MadScientist FOOF

@kalina oh it'd be noticed, it just wouldn't be publicised.

11:53 AM

I'd go with something easily available, you can just buy rather nasty stuff

my method of delivery will be cakes made with explosive fillings

@kalina Fillings made with explosive cake would be fun too

and then I could EXPLODE ALL THE THINGS

where things = people

with my legendary detonators that trigger as you bite into the cake

And while the FBI are searching for the "Sugarplum Killer"

I will capture members of the FBI that get too close and melt them

no?

"They offer it in 100g, 500g, and 1 kilo amounts, which is interesting, because I don't think a kilo of dioxygen difluoride has ever existed. Someone should call them on this - ask for the free shipping, and if they object, tell them Amazon offers it on this item. Serves 'em right. Morons."

funny how it says this guy takes the explosive corrosive cake

and you mention cake

CAKE FOR ALL THE EXPLOSIONS!

ALL THE CAKE!

2

11:57 AM

> A. G. Streng, folks, absolutely takes the corrosive exploding cake, and I have to tip my asbestos-lined titanium hat to him.

EXPLOOOOOSIONS!

2

Lunch time. I think I'm going to have cake.

2

I have a doughnut on my desk.

careful, it might be explosive

err, I'm going to quickly close some of these tabs

this is like I've been on tvtropes, but they're all different kinds of explosives

Q: is it possible to set up a map of my minecraft server I can access outside of minecraft?

I was wondering if it is at all possible to get a map of my minecraft server which would show a update version of everything on my minecraft sever which I would be able to access whilst im not on minecraft. If this is possible is it possible to have an interactive map?

faaaaarrrk

15cm is shorter than I thought it would be

4

I think too many guys have lied to me about measurements over the years, it's broken my internal perception of length

5

I pretty much own the star list, I am so good

12:46 PM

@kalina 15cm (6") is really, really short. Compare this handy length guide which starts at 10":

user image

Apr 20 at 14:23, by kalina

why is it always "star everything kalina says" day

By that guide, my hair was like.... 36cm

It was even tighter than Curly near the top though.

When I brushed it all out, and held it out, it was down to my bum.

@MartinSojka using this chart, my hair is ~24" in length

ok mental time again

I'm loosing it :/

@kalina I imagine it's a pain to keep it looking good. I know a girl who has 30" or so length of hair, and she was spending at least half an hour per day just making it look "not crappy".

12:48 PM

@MartinSojka All I've learned is that I have less than 10" of hair

@MartinSojka I spend about 30 minutes a day too

depending on if I'm straightening it or not

Keep typing, but remember to press alt eventually

(I have wavy hair, darker brown than the middle girl)

@kalina Soon to be rainbow dash hair?

hmmm how you gonna bleach it and keep it soft and silky?

/me tried olive oil once, my hair was REALLY soft then

12:51 PM

@djsmiley2k you give up on soft and silky when you bleach it

especially when you put it through the abuse I put my hair through

Surely dark brown roots with rainbow dash is not a good thing?

@fredley I'm thinking twilight sparkle, on account of me not wanting to spend a decent portion of my monthly wage on hair colouring + salon time

@kalina Fair enough.

@kalina With the streak, or just a Rarity?

I just tied my hair up all the time

well, pony tail

@kalina try olive oil, honestly

not to mention how badly the bright yellow and bright green will decimate my hair

12:52 PM

need to just rub it in and leave it as long as possible, even over night (plastic bag on the head).

@fredley with the streak

Mornin'

o/

@djsmiley2k if I put a plastic bag on my head, it will somehow end up over my face, guaranteed

then shower cap maybe?

12:53 PM

@djsmiley2k Isn't palm oil supposed to be the shit when it comes to shiny hair?

Dunno, never tried it @fredley

wait, coconut oil?

@djsmiley2k It's what many Indian women use for glossy black hair

once upon a time, HackerTyper used to let you choose what you were typing

nowawadays it lets you choose what ad you want.

@badp Aaaw.

@fredley hmmmm if it's the same as / simular to coconut oil then I prefer the effect of the olive oil personally.

12:55 PM

@djsmiley2k I have no idea. I wash my hair, and it stays on my head. That's all I care about really

looks at star list ... Really, @kalina?

@fredley :D Oh god the hair I'd loose....

@AshleyNunn I wrote another depressing story!

I rememeber once thinking it was all falling out D:

@djsmiley2k To be fair, a lot of it doesn't stay on my head :(

My face is getting very large.

Q: What is the use of the black ops 2 Nav cards?

The image above shows the icon of the nav card you can pick up on tranzit. Now from reading some on other forums i found that you can place this card on a crafting table on die riese? But there also is another nav card (the one on the image (i believe)) that does not fit on that table. My quest...

call-of-duty-black-ops-2 easter-egg

@kalina I do blame you! I can't even find context for that, so I have to assume you did that on purpose.

@FEichinger context for what

@FEichinger No problem, we just supplied the context ourselves: Hair length.

@FEichinger You should have seen it earlier

12:58 PM

@MartinSojka On that note, I'm off the chart.

@FEichinger how long?

Bum length was my longest.

I have it tied up and it still reaches my ass.

2

wow.

@kalina What do you think I'm talking about, hm?

@kalina How old are you? I could have sworn you said 19 at one point, but a lot of your other comments don't line up with that, so at this point I'm assuming I heard wrong.

1:00 PM

BTW, I like about 16" hair length on others. Just the right amount of "looks great when it's falling and moving freely", "can get styled in lots of interesting ways" and "not too much hassle."

@FEichinger my length comments were about the USB cables I got today

I will not take responsibility for the conversation it spawned

@kalina EXCUSES!

@GraceNote Bam!

Finished getting the ultimate weapons last night

@FEichinger I'm telling you the truth

@kalina Are you satisfied with their pinkness?

1:01 PM

oh they're very pink

the 1 meter cables are fine

@kalina Eeeeexcuuuuuuuseeeeeees!

but the 15cm cables are too small

@kalina 15cm is very small

they're measured from the end of the plugs

so its only ~10cm of cable

@kalina Why did you even buy such small ones?

1:02 PM

because 15cm would be about right for sitting on my desk at home

had they been 15cm + plugs

2

@kalina Never neglect plug length

Get some of those 5cm extensions that sometimes come with things with bulky plugs

@kalina Technically right and yet confusingly stated thus making the buyers think they're getting more? Why, how could they!

@MartinSojka yeah

I will just order a couple more

user image

Yes, real cable, no I don't know where it came from

@djsmiley2k I've seen one of those. THey are terrible

1:07 PM

:D

Now, what do you think of the cable?

Those are usually data cables for small digital cameras.

user image

meh

I will just buy more cables

I'm sure this super short one will come in use at some point

2

ah yes I think my mum once got me one of those cameras you can put on a keyring (I never used it...)

YOU ARE ALL PERVERTS

@badp no thanks needed - even if we don't always agree, we wouldn't get very far without seriously weighing input from our communities, especially the strongest ones, like Arqade. And being as awesome as the rest of my team is an aspirational goal most days - I'm mostly happy if I don't outright embarrass them.

Fun fact: The currency of the United States is based on the Spanish Milled Dollar... also known as the piece of eight.

Thus proving that everyone in the United States is a pirate.

It still sounds weird knowing that you could split a piece of eight into smaller pieces and use it as a currency.

as in physically split it?

@Jaydles aww *hugs*

@Jaydles As discussions go, this one was pretty reasonable.

I am sorry for being a little brash yesterday also
