A: Where can I find the Quantum Moon?

The Quantum Moon is definitely not invisible, although it jumps around a lot so it can be tricky to find if you don't know what you're looking for. The Quantum Moon moves around the solar system when you look away from it, so if you find it, you need to keep it in your view as you approach it, ...

Q: What constitutes as a perfect victory?

While playing divekick yesterday, I was occasionally treated to a "Perfect" prompt upon besting my opponent. Is there some criteria for achieving a perfect victory, or is this merely a randomly dispensed gag, considering how you always win with full health?

@Arperum It also has a cute name - Bumblebee

does it transform into a car?

@5pike thermobaric rocket, it can ignite targets. On open grounds equals to 120mm artillery shell but more more dangerous in closed space

meh, not too bothered

Blem

I just have to make sure i get 40h a week, and then my boss prefer if i am at work between 9 and 16, but is pretty large with going early if you ask

kalina

37.5 hours a week, although I don't take lunches so it works out at 40

but it's not possible to calculate how much of that I actually spend doing work

since I spend so much time not doing work and I've automated most of the work I do so I don't have to pay attention to it

Blem

my 40 is with lunch, so depending on the weather it is between 35 and 37.5h a week

kalina

tbh I'm here early today by choice

Arperum

38 without lunch here, theoretically, in reality it's more.

kalina

I went to bed at 8pm last night because I was bored of being awake

12 hours of sleep is enough for me on a work night

I figured the sooner I arrive at work the sooner it will be hometime

Blem

@Arperum we have a lot of consultants that work 55h+ each week even though there is no over pay and there contract says 40h

I get 3 people for dinner today, so have to get home and start cooking, so came to work a bit earlier than normal also

Q: Not invisible to giants or mammoths in Skyrim

I attacked a mammoth, then started running away, then cast muffle, then cast invisibility. Both the mammoth and the giant chased me wherever I went and the mammoth killed me. I had the same result with an invisibility potion instead of the spell. Why? Can I become undetectable to them?

Go to bed @badp, you are drunk!

badp

@Blem I am just bowing to the pylint gods, for they are ruthless.

Blem

@badp PyLint has been unable to import a module.

badp

@Blem yeah, I have no idea how to fix that one, because apparently all files in the codebase appear to have that problem.

So that's an error on pylint's side

The makefile seems to invoke pylint in a way where that's not a problem, but the makeflie also compiles a bunch of haskell files before it'll run pylint, and it'll run pylint on the whole project, not just the files I'm touching

so for now -d F0401 does the trick :P
