wow

@BenBrocka In NJ, only the gas attendant is allowed to pump gas.

If you try to do it, you can literally be arrested.

user15026

@StrixVaria That is so weird

Mostly you just get fined, though.

@StrixVaria That's awesome. I hate pumping gas.

In -40 degree weather.

8:14 PM

I went to New York once and forgot that I had to do it myself. I was waiting for 5 minutes before I remembered. Then I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Like I want some pimply teen touching my mercedes

Someone else with NY plates saw my noob NJ plates and was kind enough to help me.

user15026

@JasonBerkan Yeah, I usually don't mind but screw it, in winter, it sucks

Which was mind-boggling, given that he had NY plates.

user15026

I really dont miss having a car

8:14 PM

Apparently oregon does it too

@StrixVaria Why?

@Wipqozn That's the law.

@AshleyNunn My new minivan has a bazillion litre tank, so I drive around until I find a full serve station.

@StrixVaria I know, I edited what I was replying to.

@ken.ganong What do you have?

user15026

8:15 PM

@JasonBerkan Good plan. My shitbox, when I had it, was tiny, so I would have to suffer.

@Wipqozn I think it has to do with the fact that NY and NJ have somewhat of a rivalry.

user15026

(I loved that car. I really did. but it was a shitbox.)

Some would say it's kinda bitter.

I don't remember the last time I saw a full service gas station.

@OrigamiRobot I don't really have a car that I would trust driving all the way to NC. I do plan on buying a new car soon-ish, but I'm not sure if it'll be in time to take advantage of my time off soon.

8:17 PM

@StrixVaria Get a Miata. They are the bestest.

@StrixVaria Are you sure you can afford a car on a Google salary? I hear they pay you too much money.

@OrigamiRobot Probably getting a CRV.

Boooooooooooooo

@Wipqozn :P

@StrixVaria Why?

user15026

8:17 PM

@Wipqozn I hear similar things.

@Wipqozn I don't know, but I don't mind it. Pumping gas sucks.

Everything I know about New Jersey I learned from The Sopranos

Wait, I don't know if I know what a CRV is.

@OrigamiRobot Honda SUV.

Booooooooooooooooooo

8:18 PM

I currently drive a Civic.

Built on a car frame, it's much smaller than an SUV

@Wipqozn I think it's to protect the gas attendant job industry. Which apparently both exists and has a lobby in New Jersey.

@StrixVaria A car you can trust.

@OrigamiRobot A bunch of mostly random stuff from 4th Ed. to Invasion and in and around the Shadowmoor block

@OrigamiRobot I need to get the AC fixed.

Tim Stone

8:18 PM

@Wipqozn Because this (which I'm sure you won't be able to view, because 'Murica)

@OrigamiRobot FORGET ABOUT THE CAR LET'S GET BACK TO THE HENGE

@ken.ganong Shadowmoor you say?

(Sorry I don't remember the exact words.)

> The main reason you cannot pump your own gas in New Jersey is because the state considers it too dangerous. The state feels that only qualified people are allowed to pump gas and passed the law in 1949. Some residents of NJ feel the law needs to be adjusted but the state has not yet done so.

ask.com/question/why-can-t-you-pump-your-own-gas-in-new-jersey

@OrigamiRobot Speaking of which, I have mostly stuff from Revised through Mirrodin.

8:19 PM

@OrigamiRobot I do say.

@ken.ganong Any filterlands?

Then like 12 packs worth of Eldrazi stuff and at least a box worth of RTR stuff.

@OrigamiRobot yes. Mostly blue/white, but some random others.

@TimStone I watched that video and heard "skyrocketing gas prices" coupled with $3.25. Hah, you make me laugh, 2006.

@ken.ganong Ooooooooohhhhhh I likes me some filters

8:21 PM

In Indiana, 17 people accidentally douse themselves in gasoline and set themselves on fire every second.

@Yuki Regular is 3.10 here

@Sterno It's tragic but on the plus side no one has to bring cigarette lighters with them

Well, in SC

@OrigamiRobot It's around $3.10 to $3.25 for me, but I live in Houston. If I remember correctly, we tend to have lower gas prices than the rest of the country, so I assume gas is somewheres around $3.50 elsewhere.

@Yuki New Jersey has a big-ass seaport where a lot of oil comes in, so it's cheap (relatively) here too.

8:24 PM

Unionhawk

@Yuki It's around 3.25-3.50 here, apparently

Chicago gas sucks

@OrigamiRobot Sucks for California.

Ullallulloo

@ken.ganong So are you selling your collection or just individuals?

Tim Stone

8:26 PM

@Yuki Back in the day. reminisces

I remember when gas was $0.90

I remember when gas was $.75.

Ah, fall of 1998. You were a good time.

I remember when gas was free. Ah, Mexican night at the school cafeteria...

@Sterno You probably remember when it was $0.75 for all the gas.

badp

9.144 U.S. dollars / US gallon in Italy

8:29 PM

@badp That can't be true.

Oh, phew.

Over $9000/gallon would have been ridiculous.

@Yuki Least it's not Hawaii.

@badp Pricy. We're around half that ATM ($4.90).

@AshleyNunn It turns out that my 800+ bottles of Greyfields 1879 is insufficient.

To pull this off, I'm going to need at least 5000 bottles of wine.

@JasonBerkan half is taxes

@AshleyNunn Oh, there's this sommelier who needs some cheap wine for very vague reasons.

He SnookerFan, I was just Googling to find an answer to somewhat a same question. That is how many people could live in LS if it were technicly possible. I couldn't find the answer so I made a calculation myself. If you compare Los Santos and Blaine County to Los Angelos County and divide the cit...

If I could pull the deal off, it seems to be a good trade.

Am I reading that right? Does that basically just say "take one number, divide by some other unspecified number, and that's the answer"?

@OrigamiRobot I'd happily sell the collection

@Sterno Well, if you kill everyone in Los Santos, which seems to be the goal of every GTA player, the population should be zero.

8:34 PM

@ken.ganong Where in NC are you?

@OrigamiRobot perhaps we should take our wheeling and dealing to another room.

So I just deleted my .minecraft folder, re-installed it, then installed the minecraft forge version 9.11.0.884 and ran it (everything fine up till here). Next I installed the zip file for pixelmon thats on their website and I moved the two folders over to my new .minecraft folder. Now comes the...

@Yuki They just keep coming back! sobs into blood soaked hands THEY KEEP COMING BACK

I was finding myself having a lot less urge to randomly murder people in GTA V compared to previous GTAs

Until I unlocked Trevor. When you play him, you just sort of want to kill anyone and everyone.

HI GUYS

Powerlord

@badp Gasoline/Petrol is taxed in the U.S. too, but not that highly. And people wonder why our road system is falling apart.

Fuel taxes in the United States

@Powerlord Gas is about $0.25 cheaper in SC and it shows in their roads.

Powerlord

Wikipedia has a nice chart about what states charge what amount (including the Federal 18.4 cents per gallon)

The United States federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel.http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/gastax.cfm US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration: When did the Federal Government begin collecting the gas tax? On average, as of January 2013, state and local taxes add 30.4 cents to gasoline and 30.0 cents to diesel, for a total US average fuel tax of 49.5 cents per gallon for gas and 54.8 cents per gallon for diesel. State taxes The first US state tax on fuel was introduced in February 1919 in Oregon. It...

Hmm, the Federal rate hasn't been raised in 20 years. I'm surprised.

Only in Elona can growing feathers prevent me from using my wings.

cc @GraceNote

8:56 PM

Do your wings give you anything besides floating?

Better DV than the cloak I had.

Well, now you basically have bonus speed (which is great) and float in that slot.

@GraceNote The weight -20% sucks

Oh wait, that is -20% to carried items not carrying capacity?

I'm pretty sure it's to your personal weight.

Yea, because gravity says +10% and that was the bad one.

9:00 PM

My first character pretty much lived with this disease as such, let me double check on her.

Yeah, it reduces the weight of all things you're carrying.

@BenBrocka That's evil.

My cat doesn't do that, but if you leave a glass of water out he'll stick his foot in it and splash water all over

@BenBrocka Mine will drink it .

he occasionally knocks things off the end of the counter in the kitchen though, nothing as breakable as a glass though

@spugsley Did someone give you a ticket for free brownies for a lifetime?

@Yuki Nope better :) My work is getting exhibited!

@spugsley Oh, that's cool.

RIP Rose Tyler. sigh

@RedRiderX I'm always confused when people say, "RIP (fictional character)". I'm never sure if they mean the character or the actor/actress.

@AshleyNunn Yes.

Ooo a new book for me to buy

user15026

@FEichinger Okay, glad we got that settled :P

@AshleyNunn No. It means there is one less hole in your wallet.

@Yuki People don't just say "RIP X who played Y"?

11:19 PM

@RedRiderX The people I hang out with? Not so much.

It gets really, really confusing.

@Yuki I'd imagine so.

And I end up spending more time delving through Google News than I would like.

user15026

@MichaelDunfield books like this confuse me because they rarely ever actually work, people just kinda collect them

@AshleyNunn Yeah... I know what you mean. But I liked the last one. Also the design of the book itself is pretty inspiring

@Yuki Well don't bother, I'm just roving through old Doctor Who at the moment.

Companion transitions are always so rough. :(

11:20 PM

@MichaelDunfield Wouldn't just getting to a greater height increase your potential? bad physics joke, go!

@RedRiderX Amy & Rory made me tear up even I didn't like them as much I did Rose, Martha, or Donna.

@Yuki Now that was rough.

11:21 PM

@RedRiderX Invariably though, Doctor transitions tend to be worse.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Yep. Simple and to the point, too.

Weirdly enough, Ninth->Tenth made me cry more than Tenth->Eleventh. Am I a heartless person?

user15026

@Yuki nope.

@Yuki Probably not.

user15026

Then again I never really loved ten

11:23 PM

But I like ten so much.

Matt Smith is my favourite doctor and also pretty much the only one I've ever seen.

@MichaelDunfield That is always the way of things.

I wonder what the deal with John Hurt is. Has the next season started yet?

@MichaelDunfield Nope

For some reason, the line, "You know what? I was [fantastic] too!", felt more sad than, "I don't want to go.", considering that the Ninth came out of the Time War.

11:24 PM

The Great Dragon is going to be the new doctor?

@MichaelDunfield No, the Roman guy in the Vesuvius episode.

That's going to be slightly confusing.

@MichaelDunfield Yeah, watching the NuWho stuff, I've seen a few Merlin actors here and there.

@RedRiderX Uther is in Warehouse 13 now.

Unless they're the same guy.

Also YAY ANOTHER MERLIN FAN

11:25 PM

Then, I don't know what's going to happen.

Q: Why is the solo (Crime.net Offline) only featuring 3 heisters (including yourself)?

0

In the first episode, the single and multiplayer modes were both 4 players, unless you disable the AI. Same goes for Payday 2, excepted that the solo mode is 3 players only (you, and 2 AI). Any idea why ? Is the solo mode different in any way to justify a cut off of one heister (even if it's...

payday-2

These sci-fi shows tend to pass actors back and forth.

user15026

@Yuki They used Amy in an ep long before she was a companion, but they kinda ignored that they did

How as this not been closed yet?

The running theory is that John Hurt is The Valeyard, or old 8th Doctor, isn't it?

11:26 PM

@AshleyNunn I think they did the same thing with Martha too.

@RedRiderX I actually think that the most popular theory is that John Hurt is 8.5.

And that he (John Hurt) ended the Time War through some horrible, horrible mechanism.

@Yuki Yeah, something like that.

@Yuki I guess I wasn't sure how they planned on a 8.5.

I also saw some discussion about the way they introduced him. Do they not normally do it that way?

Statement: I have no clue what time period must elapse before something is not considered "spoilers".

With the text and shit

@MichaelDunfield Usually, no.

11:28 PM

@MichaelDunfield Nah, it's just BAM new doc.

The Great Dragon is a timelorrrrrrrrd

@RedRiderX Well, the whole point is that he is supposed to be "forgotten" and considering the Doctor is a time-traveler, he'd definitely be able to wipe a part of himself from history.

indiedb.com/games/interference

This looks fucking awesome.

@Yuki I've seen a little bit of everything and read far too much lore to be healthy, so it doesn't much matter to me, :P

CC @RedRiderX @BenBrocka @Fluttershy

11:29 PM

@Yuki Oooh...

Interesting...

And I guess he's not the Doctor, strictly speaking.

Heck, maybe him wiping himself from history might be part of the reason he became "The Forgotten Doctor". I mean, short of killing off entire civilizations, how else would you "disappear" yourself from history if you're someone like the Doctor?

@Yuki Well, there are ways. :P

►

I don't think he wiped it from history, I think he didn't call himself the Doctor for that regeneration.

Although the tardis would be a give a way.

@RonanForman Or, at least, his other regenerations don't.

11:32 PM

My running theory is: John Hurt goes through his normal Doctor business until the Time War comes about. He ends it and does something horrible to do so. To make sure nobody does whatever he did, he deletes himself from the history of the universe. Which, in itself, is probably something terrible so he just doesn't call himself the Doctor for that regen.

@Yuki And yet he lingers in the time line?

@RedRiderX Specifically, he lingers in the Doctor's timeline. Which is confusing enough as it is.

Or is it his memories? I always forget.

@RedRiderX I think it was referred to as his timeline, not his memories.

There was a quote that I can't quite remember, but it was something like "it's not what he did, but that he didn't do it in the name of the doctor." although that's probably wrong.

11:34 PM

@Yuki Ahh alright then.

Although one has wonder if that sparkly pillar of light appears at the gravesite of every time-traveller or if it's just something special with the Doctor.

Or Time Lords.

@RonanForman Maybe [it was in the name of sanity], but not in the name of the Doctor!

Still not right. :P

@RedRiderX Shooting a fez?

@Yuki Yes that is definitely what he did.

Quoth River, "What, in the name of sanity, are you wearing on your head?"

11:36 PM

@Yuki I think it's because the doctors a dick and causes so many paradoxes with all his rule breaking.

Random Doctor Who tangent: Apparently, @Wipqozn thinks I'm a Dalek. Or at least thinks I look like one.

@Yuki Hmm, it is his "scar on the universe", right?

Q: In what year is the game occurring?

-1

Found on one of the chairs of the Bank's lobby, this newspaper is dated but it's pretty hard to read (2015 ?) Does anyone know when Payday 2 is occuring ? Are there any other clues in other heists ? PS: oh hello First World Bank easter egg :)

payday-2

So I guess it might depend how much travel took place... but... I don't know.

I should ask on Scifi.SE.

@RedRiderX Prepare for five answers containing random speculation with no sources whatsoever.

And one answer containing a completely un-related TARDIS Wiki link and following discussion that really doesn't address your question.
