Morning

Um, who retired their nomination?

I haven't seen anyone do that

Trent Hawkins

There were 13 nominations earlier, down to 12 now. I'm fairly sure I know who withdrew, but I am trying to confirm my memory of things with the chat log.

8:15 AM

Morning people

I've only seen 12 nominations total, but the first one was a different one. So one did disappear.

@5pike hi

Morning!

-15.1°C. Not so cold

Today's the first day this winter, I saw snow

8:19 AM

@5pike and where are you from?..

Austria

Around this time, there's usually snow everywhere.

Loko

yay Arqade is now so active because of the elections

@5pike you have Alps :)

@spyder Well, they don't count in this case.

I don't like cold

8:21 AM

I don't mind cold, because you can just put on more clothes. What I don't like is cold+wet

Trent Hawkins

@badp JeffreyLin was the one who withdrew his nomination, I believe

But when it's warm again, you need to take the clothes off and it's annoying

@3ventic Or keep them on and be comfy

@5pike and sweaty soon

@5pike Sweaty isn't all that comfy.

8:24 AM

I prefer clothes that keep you warm to clothes that make you warm

@TrentHawkins Yup, I remember reading his.

Trent Hawkins

@spyder Yeah, but what is he saying?!

@Frank yeah it definitely set up the next season

in other news, I hate the loan car I've been given

@kalina hi \o

8:29 AM

I feel like a tiny person inside a tank

also, morning \o/

@kalina morning

@kalina Did they give you a landrover?

@kalina morning

@kalina you really really really don't want to be in tank

@5pike no a vauxhall/opel vectra

I really don't like it

@kalina I drive one of those lol

it's like 6 years older than I am

8:32 AM

the clutch is all weird, the footwell dips down rather than being flat, the acceleration is pants, the gear lever is too far away for my arms, I don't like any of the electrical instrumentation

I feel young in that car!

I spent half of a dual carriageway trying to work out how to cancel the indicator

lol

it doesn't have heated seats or heated front screen

such a nightmare

Well, you don't need to drive it forever.

8:33 AM

and I'm pretty sure it was trying to kill me

the car that you drive should not be actively trying to kill you

@kalina What kind of a car doesn't have those?!

The one time I got a loan car I barely fitted... I got some kind of a mini. And it was pink.

@Arperum I could totally go for this

@3ventic tell me about it

@Arperum A pink mini? Damn, I'd take it

@kalina I hated it. I really couldn't move at all.

8:34 AM

and all of the controls were practically dead

I know it's a loan car, but I shouldn't have to mash the mirror controls to make them move

it has electric mirrors but pump action levers to raise and move the seats

My car has electric mirrors that don't work at all..

other than that it works great for a 25-year-old car.

@5pike You could have it. I didn't like that I hit my knees when I was turning. I put the seat back as far as I could, still hitting my knees when turning.

Somewhere in Soviet Russia:

@spyder what is that?

Q: Receiving tesseract does not interact with transport pipes

@5pike main battle tank T-90 is crossing road

Almost on every tutorial video I watched about Thermal Expansion tesseracts receiving one can output items to build craft transport pipes (gold or stone). The thing is I use Thermal Expansion 3.0.0.2 mod which has only one type of tesseracts (not energy, fluid and item like was earlier). And the ...

Ahhh

@3ventic everything in my car works, and it's comfy, and it's responsive, and I'm confident driving it, I know exactly how wide it is, I can feel the road through the steering wheel, the gearbox isn't shot, and I love my car

hardly anything in this car works, it has no features, it drives like it's about to die, the steering is light and gives no feedback, it's wider and longer than my car, the gear changes just don't want to happen, and I hate it

Mine has automatic gears

the mere thought of me having to drive back in it makes me want to die

@5pike Uralvagonzavod

8:44 AM

eww automatic gears

what is it about the rest of the world and automatics
