@GraceNote wow, that's a bit next level

ask me after I have eaten skittles

SaintWacko

I thought the world would implode if we agreed with you...

I know something bad would happen

fbueckert

Talking about world implosions, the last Doctor Who didn't actually implode the planet.

kalina

no, that's just @OrigamiRobot's propaganda

fbueckert

That was clearly an explosion.

Martin Sojka

Anyway, I really don't understand how the site will function if such questions are at its core. My guess is that it won't, but I have an interest in genealogy, so I hope I'm wrong.

kalina

2:00 PM

Well Doctor Who is a bad excuse for a TV show anyway

hides

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert It was a reverse implosion.

What a twist!

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Which is an explosion.

fredley

An implosion often precedes an explosion

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert I don't remember, did they actually set off the bomb, or did the ship blow it up?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot They set it off.

fredley

2:02 PM

In the case of planetary implosion, there'd be a hell of alot of energy collapsing in to the core, which would then trigger an explosion

OrigamiRobot

@kalina Isn't it considered treason in the UK to not like Doctor Who?

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot New Who? Not so much.

Anyway, I'm out. Battery running low.

Sconibulus

I need to catch up on Doctor Who

I've only seen a couple episodes of the new season

or new half-season, or whatever

kalina

@OrigamiRobot WHO KNOWS? WHO CARES? YOU DECIDE! EPIC BRIDGE BATTLES OF HISTORY!

fbueckert

Eh. Interest lost. I'm wandering away now.

kalina

2:09 PM

@fbueckert wander forth, and code

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I hate those shitty videos.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot sorry for you

fredley

@OrigamiRobot I love those shitty videos

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot Yes, we know you have no taste. ;D

fredley

(and they're amazingly unshitty, actually)

@Powerlord I have taste, so you can ignore kalina

kalina

2:10 PM

why would anybody ignore me?

fredley

@kalina *ignores*

kalina

I am disappointed

Grace Note

...hm. This is... not what I expected to happen. I have apparently concocted something I can describe as a similarity to strawberry whipped cream.

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord I don't know how anyone can stand to watch them. They're so annoying.

Powerlord

@fredley I'd be more likely to ignore people who keeping posting those Pokemixes or whatever that site calls them.

Fluttershy

2:11 PM

kalina

@Powerlord thank you

fredley

@Powerlord I have no idea what a Pokemix is

kalina

they annoy me too

not so much annoy, as "take up my screen space"

badp

@GraceNote I suppose your expectation mismatch is caused by your not using neither strawberry (n)or cream?

fredley

@kalina Because your screen space is so precious

kalina

2:12 PM

@fredley my preciousss

Grace Note

@badp I added french vanilla cream to strawberry soda with the intent of adding a dash of vanilla sweetness for science.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote <3 vanilla

Great, now I'm hungry.

badp

Were there explosions?

Grace Note

Instead of mixing in with the soda as expected, it instead produced a voluminous tower of aforementioned "strawberry whipped cream".

badp

oh, I suppose in a coke + pepsi manner

Grace Note

2:13 PM

There is still Strawberry Soda at the bottom of the glass, beneath it all, largely unaffected by the entire process. I am terribly confused.

fredley

@GraceNote Result unexpected but not undesirable

badp

You should be asking about it on... Chemistry possibly rather than Cooking

kalina

badp

I wouldn't try and eat the result I mean

kalina

my phone would have lasted a full 24 hours

and as a result, I pretty much didn't use it for anything other than playing mp3s

badp

2:14 PM

@kalina This just in: the more you use your phone the faster it discharges!

7

Grace Note

It's a combination of edible item A and edible item B. This isn't ADOM where you can mix water with water and cause an explosion, the logical result is a mixture of vanilla and strawberry whose state of being is the only question.

kalina

@badp OH MY GOD IS THAT HOW IT WORKS?

WOW

Today I learned that turning on the screen of my phone requires POWAH!

I need an arc reactor or something

fredley

@kalina ...or you could plug your phone in?

kalina

wow we're all full of ideas today, aren't we?

badp

@GraceNote Edible items can contain separate halves of stuffs that, once combined together in a reaction, can become toxic.

kalina

2:16 PM

@badp WKD Blue and Port

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko I'm trying to figure out how to even fight wights as a venom mage.

fredley

@kalina Cheeky Vimto

kalina

@fredley \o/

StrixVaria

They appear early on, and just 100% hose you.

badp

@kalina We're preparing for Google I/O 2013. I'm still brainstorming for terrible ideas

Grace Note

2:16 PM

@badp Usually requires that the ingredients in question are ones that contain some measure of toxicity.

StrixVaria

I guess the answer is probably to run away.

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Or wield a weapon of some sort

badp

@GraceNote Regardless, I still wouldn't eat it.

SaintWacko

Or hope you find a book with some other spells

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko Does that lower your cast chance?

fredley

2:17 PM

@badp Cranberry juice and vodka in a shot glass, drizzle baileys in slowly: Brain Haemorrhage.

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria No

StrixVaria

Oh, then I was playing like a moron.

SaintWacko

Only heavy armour and shields do that

StrixVaria

I might give venom mage another try and actually pick up a weapon :P

Grace Note

@badp At this stage it is difficult to eat because the glass is really tall and I am more like the fox than the stork.

SaintWacko

2:18 PM

@StrixVaria Go watch Mattias on CSZO

He's on Zot:5

kalina

@fredley the texture of curdled drinks makes me want to gag

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko Oh, nice. I've never seen someone clear it before.

fredley

@kalina Well quite

StrixVaria

I've caught people escaping but missed the Zot:5 clear.

badp

@fredley I have no idea what that is and I'm okay with never finguring that out either

fredley

2:20 PM

I've never actually attempted to drink one, but I've seen them being made

@badp finguring

@fredley I have no idea what that is and I'm okay with never finguring that out either

SAVED BEFORE EDIT

"figuring through fingering, duh"

what was that about fingering?

badp

I would't dip my finger in it, let alone drink it.

tombull89

2:21 PM

@kalina I'll flag you!

kalina

Let's all join another channel, flood it with funny things and star them

SaintWacko

@StrixVaria Yeah, I figured you'd be interested

kalina

We can call it Operation The Bridge Strikes Back

Powerlord

@kalina What happens when they Return later on?

Grace Note

I guess you followed the flag.

kalina

2:22 PM

@tombull89 bring it, dislike

@GraceNote I thought that was obvious

Powerlord

@GraceNote I missed whatever flag we're discussing.

@rlemon I just developed a new strategical plan. We join a room, say lots of hilarious things to flood the star area with just our messages and then leave. We can call it Operation Star Wars.

Grace Note

It was the message shortly after it that was flagged, actually.

badp

@GraceNote That's what appeared in the flag popup though

fredley

Q: Does Deerclops spawn every winter, and how does he behave?

Coming up on my first winter, I'm worried I may be under-prepared. Is Deerclops guaranteed to spawn every winter? And does he spawn near you? If not does he move randomly or does he behave like the Hounds and seek you out?

badp

@GraceNote I guess both were flagged and chat didn't refresh fast enough

kalina

@badp 404 :(

Grace Note

2:25 PM

badp

The perhaps means I must figure out complicated conspiracy theories on how flags naturally gravitate towards moderators

I just got kicked from ELU

fredley

@kalina I can't imagine why any other SE would kick you

kalina

tombull89

2:29 PM

@kalina kicked? o.O

Powerlord

If you don't believe that's the trailer, here's the trailer on the New York Times website.

kalina

I believe it was @badp

WHY @BADP WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

badp

@kalina because you actually went through and did it and that was stupid is why!

fredley

@Powerlord I take it after that it's not

kalina

@badp I am now confused

badp

2:31 PM

@kalina success.

fredley

Ponies should stay being ponies

Powerlord

@fredley No, it's the same trailer, I'm just linking to a more reliable source.

tombull89

Um. I starred a couple of things. Not @kalina.

Powerlord

Apparently MLP has all the MLP songs on its channel, but Youtube allows a new style channel page that removes the option to open said videos separately. Or fav them. Or add them to playlists.

or even open the god damned page for the video itself so you can do said things

Grace Note

I am suddenly in the mood for some swiss cheese.

fredley

@Powerlord YouTube channel pages are the worst

I'm going to need to torrent some episodes, I've got to the point where too many are 'not available in my country'

kalina

I HAVE ALL EPISODES YOU WANT?

fredley

@kalina YES PLEASE

Powerlord

2:43 PM

Well, the removal of the top bar on video pages makes sense now. They apparently want to block the ability to visit individual video pages for their "friends" (read: big media)

kalina

find them yourself then

fredley

Fastest method of transfer is by car/train though

kalina

@Powerlord can't hear, but is the music just suuuper quiet? Sometimes I've seen people mute/severely reduce frequencies outside of normal human voice range to make "acapella" versions of stuff (or vice versa to cut out the voices)

kalina

getting my hopes up like that

you must really hate me

@BenBrocka that's not how it's done

fredley

@kalina It's merely your own hatred reflected back at you

Powerlord

@BenBrocka I don't know, but this... is the official version on the official MLP channel.

kalina

2:56 PM

@fredley I don't hate myself

fredley

@kalina Hatred of me
