@Arperum Have you considered wireless or affixing the wire to your collar with some degree of slack between fixation point and earpiece?

Arperum

@skovacs1 It's not especially the wire, that is fixable. The part were the music stops being delivered to my ears when the headset flies off from the movement is the annoying part.

skovacs1

@StrixVaria Wouldn't that be equally jail-worthy even if they were dating? Strange headline & story. Not really newsworthy. They seem to be fishing for reads or something.

@Arperum I like the over-the-ear style headphones because they mitigate this sort of problem.

Arperum

@skovacs1 Glasses make it harder for any headset to properly stay in place.

except for those little crappy sound put in your ear things.

Yawus

12:08 AM

@skovacs1 Might've been that he got invited over and just got the wrong house.

skovacs1

@Yawus And just happened to break in...?

Yawus

@skovacs1 Don't ask me, I don't go breaking into the houses of women I wrongly assume I have been dating.

Well, I don't go breaking into houses in general.

skovacs1

@Arperum I wear glasses. I haven't had a problem with the over-the-ear ones. Make sure it's done in this order: glasses, headphones, long hair (if applicable). Don't tuck your hair under either your glasses or headphones as that increases the odds of losing both. Are your ears really small?

Arperum

@skovacs1 I assume it's the hair partly under the headset that breaks the system.

But I am going to bed. I am kind of falling asleep.

skovacs1

@Arperum Rest well then.

Woo! First episode of my new KSP YouTube let's play is recorded! Now for editing. And uploading. Et cetera.

Actually, I have some post-commentary to record as well. And before that, I have a commentary script to write too.

God I hope this episode will be more than 15 minutes long. I think I'm going to aim for 25-30 minutes.

Hmm, do I go about editing this episode right away, or do I relax for the rest of the evening by watching YouTube/Netflix/ ~~downloaded~~ TV shows?

P.S. Relaxing will involve the consumption of more alcohol. Not that editing won't.

@Sterno My point of view is if I can get it over the air, then I'm not hurting anyone by downloading it. Mind you that doesn't really apply to Cable shows like Game of Thrones or Walking Dead.

StrixVaria

@spugsley Can you write in your photography room?

FEichinger

From the Steam subscriber agreement (yes, I know there's a difference to an EULA there): "you may not, in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, publish, distribute, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, create derivative works based on, or remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Software or any software accessed via Steam without the prior consent, in writing, of Valve." So the Steam Client is legal to download (from Valve), but illegal to distribute. Ban all Steam questions now! — Martin Sojka 13 hours ago

No. No no no no. No. No. Bad. No.

Powerlord

@FEichinger Just because I can't distribute it doesn't mean Valve can't distribute it.

FEichinger

@Powerlord Whatever point he's trying to make there, it's not only completely wrong, but also very much unrelated to the topic at hand.

StrixVaria

@FEichinger That is pretty standard for that guy, honestly.

I just used Amazon's online chat help and it was surprisingly helpful.

@StrixVaria These sound pretty appropriate.

@FEichinger I said straight up strawman

FEichinger

@MBraedley That's pretty. I also did see that comment already.

Sterno

1:04 AM

I am unclear why Amazon tells me my computer is incapable of HD

MBraedley

@Sterno Internet bandwidth?

Sterno

@MBraedley It's fine. It also wouldn't let me download the HD version

So I'm watching SD instead.

Oh, it's in their FAQ: At this time, HD movies can't be streamed from a computer.

WTF

I can do it from my PS3 or a kindle, but not my PC?

FEichinger

@Sterno Why, yes. The PS3 has a much better infrastructure to support HD movie streaming than your puny PC and its mystical features.

MBraedley

@Sterno Are you sure? (sinister laughter) Maybe Amazon is just saying it's in HD.

Powerlord

@Sterno Wait, what?

I watch HD episodes of certain TV shows all the time.

3 seasons of Warehouse 13, for example.

Sterno

1:08 AM

@Powerlord bottom of the page: amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201112530

MBraedley

@Powerlord I'm still disappointed that the next season will be the last.

Sterno

From what I'm reading, some TV shows can stream HD, but movies can't, making it an even bigger WTF

Powerlord

@MBraedley Yeah... and double-sad that it'll only be 6 episodes long.

Sterno

Probably some dipshit licensing thing

Probably worried PC users can pirate it easier, so let's just cut out that entire legit user base by denying the pirates the ability to copy the HD stream

spugsley

@StrixVaria ummmm not yet...there's no computer :p

StrixVaria

1:12 AM

@spugsley :(

MBraedley

@Sterno Isn't there some healthy DRM in the the stream? If you were going to pirate it, you'd have a setup that was good enough that you'd get the same result from a Bluray rental

Sterno

You'd think so

spugsley

@StrixVaria I'm kinda at that point where I hate it again and where I don't know how to fucking word what I want to write next. Usually this is when I quit for a year :3

Sterno

Assuming this isn't made up, it is about piracy.

StrixVaria

@spugsley Just write it. Revisions are for figuring out the exact wording.

Even if it's literally the worst thing you've ever written after the first try, you still got it out and can continue the story.

@spugsley Loosen up by writing a 4000 word essay on baby punting.

MBraedley

@Sterno Are they using flash, HTML5, or silverlight to deliver the stream?

Sterno

@MBraedley Silverlight, I think. And like @Powerlord said, they stream TV, just not movies

It's just weird. It really seems these days like companies would rather you keep your money and pirate the damn thing.

FEichinger

@MBraedley Silverlight.

MBraedley

@Sterno So why is Netflix allowed to stream 1080p videos (of anything) to computers...

Sterno

1:16 AM

@MBraedley Because they don't hate money?

Powerlord

@FEichinger It was Flash until Adobe managed to mess it up.

MBraedley

(sniff sniff) I smell some bullshit

FEichinger

@Powerlord Flash was always messed up.

Powerlord

Flash 11.6 totally broke the DRM Amazon was using.

FEichinger

Silverlight is just as messed up, but Flash has always been crap.

Powerlord

1:17 AM

And by broke, I mean "wouldn't play at all"

While 11.5 would.

Took Amazon a good month to switch away from Flash, too.

FEichinger

Why anyone would choose Silverlight is beyond me.

@FEichinger Because screwing Linux users is just so much fun.

@MBraedley Sucks when Linux users catch up, I guess.

Powerlord

I feel special. I was apparently the first person to report to Amazon (supposedly) that video playback was messed up in Flash 11.6 and it was a known issue (listed on the Flash dev site)

FEichinger

1:20 AM

My point is that Silverlight is a lot more restricted than Flash, and brings nothing new to the table beyond "kinda somewhat stable, sometimes".

@FEichinger Wow, that's very new. Didn't even know about that until now.

FEichinger

@MBraedley Yeh, popped up on my radar a couple days back. Haven't gotten to try it yet, but it sure looks promising.

When Microsoft screws you over, you might as well pry open the back door, I guess.

Powerlord

@FEichinger What happened to Moonlight?

MBraedley

Not that it really matters to me. None of my home computers (save the Drobo, which isn't really a computer) run Linux

@Powerlord That died a few years ago.

@Powerlord Last I remember, it was discontinued and still crashing constantly, if you didn't happen to run a perfect machine.

skovacs1

@Lazers The comment on this...

user15026

@skovacs1 facepalm

MBraedley

Wait, new users can self answer immediately after posting, right?

Sterno

Apparently not.

skovacs1

@MBraedley need 15 rep to answer as they post. Need 100 or have to wait 8 hours to answer after post.

FEichinger

1:31 AM

@MBraedley I guess the restriction is in place to prevent them from spamming "Please help me!" in the answers.

Sterno

Spammers are going to spam. They can spam questions all day... why worry about them spamming answers to their questions?

I also hate this one:

You can also accept your own answer, but you must wait 48 hours to do so. After all, someone else may come along with an even better solution to your problem!

Okay, so why can I accept someone else's answer in less than 48 hours? I mean, yet another someone else might come along with an even better answer!

MBraedley

@Sterno Maybe that should have been the 500 rep perk

FEichinger

@Sterno Because the process to kill an answer is significantly harder than the process to kill a question? I dunno.

Sterno

@FEichinger Really? Flags as not an answer are pretty easy.

That's most of what I see in the flag queue.

FEichinger

@MBraedley Yeh, but then again being allowed to pick your nose in public would've been a better 500 rep perk than just restricting something else further.

Sterno

1:34 AM

I guess maybe less users who can confirm/deny the flags? Not sure what rep level that's at.

MBraedley

Example: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/123404/…

FEichinger

@Sterno If it doesn't go into Low Quality, it takes a much higher rep to deal with than questions. And if it does go into Low Quality, it still requires delete votes&reviews. A question? A few close votes and forget.

I can't tell if that's the motivation behind it, or if it even makes sense numbers-wise. But it seems like a pretty simple explanation to me.

MBraedley

To my previous post, the existing answer was complete, just utterly wrong when I posted. I think it was also already accepted when I wrote my answer. There was nothing low quality about it, and it was an answer so the only option was to flag it as wrong. Well that's not the correct course of action. You're supposed to down-vote and comment that the answer is wrong (which I did).

Anyways...

Okay, since I'm putting off editing until tomorrow, I might as well catch up on YouTube.

Sterno

Wow, Olympus Has Fallen is ridiculously implausible. This is great!

MBraedley

Also, if anyone wants to help me with that 202 rep to get me to 10k-network, that would be great.

Sterno

1:43 AM

@MBraedley Can't you just go associate 3 more sites?

FEichinger

@Sterno That's no longer included in the math for network rep, I believe.

Or at least, there's now a "complex algorithm" behind what is and isn't included.

MBraedley

@Sterno no, because the association bonus doesn't apply to the network rep. I'd link you the proof, but I really want to watch YouTube

Sterno

I believe you, but it did work that way a year or so ago or whenever I hit 10k network

And I haven't cared since then!

FEichinger

@Sterno Yep. And it was since changed, because there are now enough sites to get 10k network rep just through assoc. :P

Sterno

God forbid people see chat flags too early

MBraedley

1:44 AM

Yeah, it got changed. I did have 10k network (barely), and then they stripped the association bonus.

@Sterno All you needed was one 200+ site and 18 others

That's relatively easy.

skovacs1

I'm going to go watch a show. I don't really care about rep. It's cool and whatever, but I just like answering questions. Later.

Sterno

And then people would abuse it by... seeing chat flags.

'Does it do anything else?

MBraedley

No, I think that's all it does.

As an example, I have 33 accounts, and well over half of them are at 101 rep. Mind you, a good number of those are because of a single spammer that I (and a few others) went on a flag hunt for.

MBraedley

And wow, I didn't realize how wrong my math was until now. 1x200 + 18x100 = 2,000, not 10,000. Still, the association bonus could add a significant amount to an average user's network rep.

@Sterno Of the two attack-on-the-White-House movies this year, I think White House Down was better if only because of the comedic moments and, thus, taking itself less seriously.

Sterno

White House Down is next on my list.

There were a lot of things that bugged me in Olympus Has Fallen, but the biggest is that there's really no reason for him to be lone-wolfing it for like the last half of the movie, and particularly the last 10 minutes or so

The army just sorts of sits outside and says, "Well, that dude's level 20 and we're all level 1... he's probably got it covered."

Yawus

My biggest problem was the whole Cerberus thing.

Whose bright idea is it for the fail-safe disarm-the-nuke thing to involve DETONATING IT?

There are easier ways to render a nuke inert...

Sterno

See, I'm okay with movies making up stupid technology or whatever. They need their MacGuffin, and that's it. Stupid, but belief suspended. Same thing goes for pretty much any medicine involved in movies, or the hero's ability to keep going with bullet wounds, stabs, etc

But when you abuse the internal logic your own movie creates, then it bugs me.

@Sterno Breaking the rules you set for yourself in your own fictional world pretty much ruins the story.

Reduce CO2 emissions. Breathe less.

MMR is funny, but I still think Shana-tan had better stuff.

Q: Problems with Minecraft seeds

When I enter a custom seed for a village or a rainforest I always spawn in a n area completely different. For example, I want a plains biome but I spawn into a desert. Is there something I'm missing? Do seeds just randomize for every computer?

@AshleyNunn I am no longer going to Toronto and that is sad because Toledo is a pretty big downgrade from Toronto. :(

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz booo hissssssss

StrixVaria

@Lazers Oh no, I hope he's not thinking that typing "plains" will give him a plains biome.

skovacs1

@LessPop_MoreFizz At least you can make all sorts of "Holy Toledo" jokes.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn That said, I will probably be literally passing through your town on a drive from Chicago to Montreal in a week or two and could maybe possibly stop for lunch.

@AshleyNunn It could be dinner! It might be Brunch! I don't know exact timing because it depends on what time of day I pick up a car in chicago and such.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz shiny, keep me posted! :D

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, because these people are on my way, and I have every intention of stopping there and buying all of the Key Lime Pie Beer and maybe some of the Peaches and Cream beer and probably the Bloody Mary beer to and basiclaly all of the crazy things that I can get away with smuggling across the border to stockpile.

Yawus

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ooo~ Key Lime Pie beer?

@Yawus Shorts is the most batshit insane brewery in the world and they brew crazy things in crazy flavors and you can't get their shit outside of Michigan and that is a shame because they are crazy and awesome.

@spugsley Please tell me you are not a weather-skipping monster like a certain sloth-fearing robot.

spugsley

@LessPop_MoreFizz nope :) I like them

LessPop_MoreFizz

OH GOD THEY BREWED MORE OF THE STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE BEER AND PROBABLY SOLD IT ALL AND I WON'T GET ANY THERE IS NO GOD. :(

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz I give them a shot before I skip them, it just turns out that I end up skipping most of them.

Private Pansy

So now that I can bring camera enabled devices into camps, I need to acquire - a smartphone, large screen with good battery life and a bluetooth keyboard; a data plan that doesn't eat too much out of my salary; and a 3DS XL. Just need to figure out the order here.

Trent Hawkins

... I'm going to have to bake a second cake. I've made waaaaay too much icing.

skovacs1

3:44 AM

@TrentHawkins Depending on the icing, you can sometimes freeze it for later cake-icing needs.

Trent Hawkins

@skovacs1 I did that last time - I mixed it into the current batch - and I have enough for an entire second cake now.

skovacs1

@TrentHawkins Then you won't have to make icing next time.

Trent Hawkins

It's my own fault, really, I wanted to use up the last of that jar of creamy peanut butter.

skovacs1

@TrentHawkins You could also try using the icing on cookies or cupcakes or donuts.

Trent Hawkins

@skovacs1 cake is considerably easier to make though (IMO) - one large pan, dump contents of mixing bowl into pan, bake, done.

skovacs1

3:49 AM

@TrentHawkins True. This is why my auto-suggest-o-instincts first said freeze it and just use it next time.

Private Pansy

And of course which device

Trent Hawkins

@skovacs1 probably will if i don't feel like baking a second.

user15026

@TrentHawkins takes spoon, scoops frosting, noms

Trent Hawkins

@AshleyNunn that... is an option, I suppose.

Private Pansy

.....not gonna lie most of the time I try to freeze frosting and I end up just going at it with a sppon

Trent Hawkins

Currently refrigerating the bowl, If I can get it to firm up a little over night - I'll add a second layer of frosting to the cake. As it stands, if I add more it will just pool at the bottom of the tray.

@PrivatePansy yes!

@PrivatePansy yes!

Was that a question? I thought it was just some pony OC.

@skovacs1 Cover of the official comic, actually. Issue #13 and 14 is about Cadance meeting Shining Armor

skovacs1

@PrivatePansy There's a comic? Huh. I just watch the show. Season 4 is set for November btw.

Private Pansy

November 23, the same day as the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special

skovacs1

Is this an official cover too?

Official retailer exclusive cover

Ponies and Time Lords - An inseparable combination.

Thoughts on Friendship is Witchcraft?

Private Pansy

@skovacs1 It's funny when it works, which it does about half the time.

They are far too constricted by having to voice over the original, keeping with the shape of the mouths and everything

skovacs1

@PrivatePansy Agreed. They also tend to keep all the content to one episode. They would have more freedom if they drew from a larger body of episodes at a time...like MMR and Shana-tan do.
