The Bridge

FWIW, it's good that you're tempted, means you'd love to experiment. So, experiment!

Oh don't worry, unless the loop is complex usually the browser has a limit on the time a JS script can hold up the browser while running

user15026

3:04 AM

@FEichinger I just wanna see for myself what happens

user15026

I am a curious bean

And yeah, you'd just crash the tab in Chrome

@AshleyNunn Experiment!

user15026

I PRESSED THE BUTTONNNNNN

3

user15026

It's stuck! :D

3:05 AM

@AshleyNunn ...NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

user15026

It is lovely and broken and I think it is still trying to do the thing

user15026

I wonder how long before it stops

Until Chrome decides "screw this, too much memory murders the tab

kalina

see, it's not just me with a broken keyboard

@Unionhawk A simple infinite loop will just burn up CPU time

You need to actually do something within the loop for it to burn memory

3:08 AM

@PrivatePansy Well... nyeh

Until chrome decides it's done with your crap.

@AshleyNunn Grats! You have the soul of a true programmer!

user15026

It's still doing....things

user15026

I think it is infinitely console.log -ing numbers, adding one each time\

@Frank ...and now I need to watch episode 9. Zeus damn it,.

@Wipqozn It's keeping you up past your bedtime!

3:10 AM

Yes.

I blame you @Frank. You're a bad influence.

@FAE I assume there's a reason for this, but I don't know it.

@Wipqozn Indeed I am. Just ask @AshleyNunn.

@RavenDreamer NA 3DS

user15026

IT IS STILL GOING

user15026

I am way too excited about this

user15026

3:11 AM

@Frank Oh, yes, I know this for fact.

@OrigamiRobot Hm. Yes. I see the quandary.

user15026

@Frank is a terrible, terrible influence.

user15026

and....it died!

user15026

That was way too fun

@Frank @OrigamiRobot Got a Diablos Hardhorn today. I was like, "I'm going to farm Diablos until I get one!" And then the first one gave it up.

3:12 AM

I have like 4 of those things. o_o

@RavenDreamer I still need a mantle.

@kalina That is no excuse for you still not having a new one.

kalina

yes it is

@Frank Also, I stumbled into some room of HR lvl 999 folks, who completed March of Victory in < 5 minutes thanks to creative use of bombs, sleep, and pitfall traps.

►

3:13 AM

It was... scary.

no it isn't

@RavenDreamer Can't say I'm familiar with that one.

@Frank It's the quest that unlocks at HR 100.

R. Duramboros + Brachy, then I. Lagi + S. Zinogre.

zzz

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is amazing

3:15 AM

@RavenDreamer There's still that event S. Zinogre we should do.

@LessPop_MoreFizz LOOK BOOK

Hits like a freaking truck, though.

I tried the event Rust Duramboros.

Made me hate Duramboros even more.

Stupid screen-blocking sack of hitpoints.

@AshleyNunn BUTTON.

BUTTON.

PRES BUTTON

ON ON ON ON ON

user15026

3:16 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz grins I am a lot like them, it seems!

►

@RavenDreamer Yeah, what with the Nintendo Network and all now.

@FAE They are so close to having sensible online.

Yet so far.

Stop asking me to save after everything Nintendo. Stop it. Stop. It.

user15026

@Fluttershy BUT YOU MUST SAVE THE GAME

3:20 AM

Super Mario 3D World can't save a game without making me confirm that it is saved. I shouldn't have to press a button every time the game saves.

@Fluttershy If you're complaining about monster hunter, that's capcom.

►

@RavenDreamer Nah, not just MH. It's like that in the 3DS games too. Also, "You should take a break!"

Eh.

At least the health and safety warning is on the system, rather than the game now.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz The YipYips are my favourite thing ever ever ever

3:22 AM

Yipyipyipyipyipyipyip.

@Fluttershy Nopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenope

9 Days. Made some real progress there . . .

I died from going completely insane and stuff attacking me from my imagination.

@LessPop_MoreFizz My brain processes this line as "nope open open open open... nope"

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

user15026

@spugsley you dead again?

3:25 AM

YESSSSS

@RavenDreamer YOU

You totally should come to my fucking epic Art Show in February :p

@spugsley Hi, you nice lady.

@spugsley Who's doing the @#$*ing?

@RavenDreamer ....:o

user15026

@spugsley I wish so much I could come

@AshleyNunn me toooooooooooo :( I wish plane rides were free!!!

user15026

Someday you will have an art show deal and I will show up in my finery and try not to make a total ass of myself :p

user15026

3:27 AM

@spugsley That would solve so many of my problems

@AshleyNunn hahahaha :)

@spugsley I'd go if I could. :(

@AshleyNunn Yessssss

@FAE I knowwww

ElfSlice

Wow. I had like 700 health and I instantly died from a group of weak ass monsters

There must have been like 30 of them

tfhgfghjytukb

Wooo, the new MutationObserver API is so cool

user15026

3:30 AM

@FAE Yeah, I figured you would also support this plan :)

Q: Which is the best of the eeveelutions?

@ElfSlice I died also :( so sadddd

Lazers

0

Which evolution for Eevee is the best stat-wise? I'm asking about Pokemon X and Y, to be specific.

@AshleyNunn Indeeds!

@spugsley This would be awesome.

@spugs for president. First executive order: free plane rides.

3:36 AM

@Unionhawk second order: no more babies. Just seriously stop with the babies

user15026

@spugsley Can I have babies if I keep em far from you?

@AshleyNunn No, she'll find them, and then punch the shit out of them

user15026

@PrivatePansy But I like babies! I want one or two someday!

@PrivatePansy Picturing @spugsley punching @AshleyNunn's babies just makes me really sad. x_X

user15026

@FAE I'll wrap them in stuff that makes them punch-proof

user15026

3:38 AM

....or put them in hamster balls.

@AshleyNunn Woo!

user15026

That's acceptable, right?

@FAE :O I WOULD NEVER I WOULD BE THEIR BRIDGE MOM

@AshleyNunn oh dear lord

@AshleyNunn omg you are seriously my favorite person

3:39 AM

@spugsley This is honestly a scarier thought than you punching them.

user15026

@spugsley Yeah, I was gonna say, we are Bridge-married, you can't punch them

user15026

@FAE It would work , though!

user15026

They'd be safe! They could explore! I'd get to giggle a lot!

@spugsley I've got friends who would be banned from everything ever then >_> (younger than I am. Yeeeeeah...)

@Unionhawk :o

3:40 AM

@AshleyNunn I'm picturing something like this happening:

yesterday, by FAE

@FAE but with children!

@AshleyNunn I've got a pair of twins I can let go real cheap . . .

this pleases me

user15026

@FAE oh my god yes

@FAE I don't even...

user15026

3:41 AM

@DavidM I promise to only use them for hamster ball experiments, and put airholes in the balls, and even feed them

@PrivatePansy I feel kinda bad but I just can't look at it without laughing.

@AshleyNunn I'm not that particular . . . They've been driving me nuts for about the last 2 weeks.

@AshleyNunn I'll put this down as reason #102 as why we should never be allowed to have babies

user15026

@FAE It just....keeps spinning and I just cant stop laughing

user15026

@PrivatePansy Psh, I'd make the best parent.

3:42 AM

@AshleyNunn I knooooow

user15026

@DavidM Perfect, I will just need you to sign a few waivers

@PrivatePansy Eh, if you're gonna have kids, you HAVE to mess with them a little. It's all you can do to keep sane.

user15026

hm, now what do I build the balls out of

user20683

"Milk feels pain"

user15026

@FrostEngineer oooh, thats a good one

3:43 AM

I bet my future kids will read this someday. DEAR FUTURE KIDS: how did you get internet in the cellar?

user15026

(oh god if we have children, my dear, they are going to be so....special)

@DavidM When I was younger, I always thought about doing stuff like teaching them the wrong words for colors and stuff like that as a sociological experiment.

@PrivatePansy It's a little messier than that . . .

But like... there's that whole ethics thing...

user15026

@FAE hm. but science!

3:44 AM

@AshleyNunn I know, right?

Let me check how is edits dealt with by chat

@FAE Don't laugh. There are whole case studies of things like that. People ignoring their children until they go feral, etc.

user15026

I kinda already asked if I could science a friend's baby-to-be.

user15026

They said maybe!

user15026

@DavidM Yeah, I read a lot of those in psych stuff

3:44 AM

Or like "You are not allowed to let the food on the plate touch or you will go to hell." <_<

@spugsley yuuuuuuuuuuup...

@AshleyNunn Psych stuff 107 . . .

I remember it well

@DavidM Yeah, I know, it's kind of crazy how much of that stuff happened.

user15026

@DavidM I took a few psych courses before I was like....this stuff is going to require stats, which I won't pass, and it is all rote memorization (multiple choice tests everywhere) which I suck at

@FAE Honestly, though. Once you have kids, you start to understand how people can get SO frustrated with them to do all this messed up shit. It scares you.

user15026

3:46 AM

then i was a Russian major til my school said they wouldn't offer all teh credits anymore

user15026

and then I settled in English and they were stuck with me

Okay, I think I've got this figured out cc @kalina

@AshleyNunn Dressing up in the uniform is not the same as studying the subject.

observer.disconnect();
// select the target node
var target = document.querySelector('#chat'),
    searchString = 'hello';

// create an observer instance
var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
  mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
    var addedNodes = mutation.addedNodes;

    for (var i = 0; i < addedNodes.length; i++){

        if (mutation.addedNodes[i].classList &&
            mutation.addedNodes[i].classList.contains('message') &&
          ! mutation.addedNodes[i].classList.contains('pending')/* &&

user15026

@DavidM Oh, I am far from being qualified in anything

user15026

3:47 AM

I just find it interesting

If you remove the commented bit in the middle of the if statement and change the searchString, you should be able to observe incoming chat messages

@AshleyNunn It was a stupid pun . . . LOL

I had an image of you in a furry hat, etc.

ElfSlice

i go bed

@FAE please. I could list easily 1000 ridiculous things my mother told me I'd go to hell for.

1) being a democrat

@DavidM I recently read The Shining for the first time, and I read some interviews with King about how it was semi-autobiographical and a way for him to express some of the irrational anger and stuff he'd feel towards his family sometimes.

user15026

3:47 AM

@DavidM grins I'd look rockin' in one of those who are you kidding

2) kissing a boy before I turned 16

@spugsley All of those things are valid. But, on the other side of the coin, Hell sounds like a REALLY fun place!

3) having an opinion

4) watching Lord of the Rings

I luckily did not have a parent who threatened me with purgatory.

@DavidM I think you'd be in good company if all the Democrats go to Hell

3:48 AM

I could go on :) but I won't

it's depressing

@spugsley WHAT

Well then

You can go drink with Obama, for one

@Fluttershy and Harry Potter. And anything rated R

@PrivatePansy I think he'd have a few too many and get all preachy, though.

3:49 AM

If it's any consolation, my mom thought Magic: the Gathering was demonic.

@Fluttershy same here

user15026

amazon.com/Experimenting-Babies-Amazing-Science-Projects/dp/…

...

user15026

I want this

user15026

3:49 AM

and then I will do all teh science

>_>

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz .....I can't decide if awesome or ridiculous

kalina

@AshleyNunn arsenic tolerance

@LessPop_MoreFizz Uh... what

user15026

@kalina how very Flowers in the Attic of you

3:50 AM

@AshleyNunn OOOOooooo I loved that book

Welcome to Hell

I would have definitely gone to hell for reading it if left up to my mom

user15026

@spugsley That whole series was messed right up

user15026

@spugsley My mom gave me her copies :D

amazon.com/Non-Euclidean-Geometry-Babies-Math/dp/1480203246/…

Why

is this thing

3:51 AM

@AshleyNunn My mom had all these toooooo

@FAE @AshleyNunn It should be noted that that billboard is outside of Mile High Stadium in Denver. "Manning Up" is a pun; Payton Manning is the teams star quarterback.

user20683

@Unionhawk Because CreateSpace

@FAE :o why did I get the crazy lady mom?!?

@FrostEngineer oic

@AshleyNunn It's no Flowers for Algernon

user15026

3:51 AM

@DavidM Truth.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm not good at football. But that is amusing.

God I hate that fucking book!

Y'know what book I hated? Catcher in the Rye.

2

@Fluttershy yeah fuck that book

@spugsley Maybe all the cold, clear snow up here kept me and @Ashley's mom's heads clear.

3:52 AM

@Fluttershy YESSSSSS!!!! MOST OVERRATED PIECE OF SHIT IN HISTORY!!!!!

@DavidM I dunno if I'd go that far. But it was awful.

user15026

@FAE It's weird, in some ways my mom was like....super religious, but other ways she wasn't

I wanted to punch Salinger in the face when I was reading through that crap.

Also, WHY DOESN'T ALL IMPLEMENTATION OF JS HAVE THIS developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/…

user15026

A lot of it was about appearances

user20683

3:53 AM

it's like Atlas Shrugged, if you read it before 21 you love it, else you don't

user15026

@Fluttershy So bad

user20683

usually

@Fluttershy The book was fine, I guess, but it was ruined for me by an English teacher in 11th grade.

user15026

@FrostEngineer eeeeeeergh that book is icky

@FrostEngineer Haha, this is so true

3:53 AM

@FrostEngineer Negative, I read Atlas Shrugged at 19 and understood it was vile monstrous dogshit.

user15026

For me, the worst thing ever was Brave New World

@Fluttershy It's 200 pages of a kid whining that people don't get him. Fuck me. If I wanted to read about teenaged angst, I'd pick up a copy of Tiger Beat

user20683

@PrivatePansy Because it's experimental

@AshleyNunn orgy porgy

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes but you have taste.

3:54 AM

@FrostEngineer WELL IMPLEMENT IT SO I CAN EXPERIMENT WITH IT

@AshleyNunn Brave New World was prt gud tbqh.

@DavidM If I wanted to read about teenage angst, I'd read Linkin Park lyrics.

user15026

I take that back, the Crysalids was worse

Though I think The Iron Heel and We are both better than BNW and 1984 respectively.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I suspect like most things it went over my head

3:54 AM

If we're talking about early 20th century dystopian stuff.

I really shouldn't play another game of Don't Starve

I still have never read 1984.

but I'm gonna

@AshleyNunn The concept and ideas described in the book is more interesting than the writing

user15026

@PrivatePansy yes, this is true

3:55 AM

I want to teach a college course called: Everything you read in High School was probably shit.

@FAE You should fix that, if only because I suspect you will find the idea and execution of newspeak to be very compelling.

user20683

I hated the Giver

I haven't read a lot of the "classics." Mostly because I started with Salinger's dump of an emo-bible. Turned me off to all the rest.

@FrostEngineer me too

@FrostEngineer ME TOO

user15026

3:55 AM

@FrostEngineer noooooo

user15026

IT IS GOOD

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, that part definitely intrigues me. It's never been a conscious decision not to, I've just never gotten around to it.

user15026

you just have to read the other three

@FrostEngineer nooooooooo D:

Just finished Episode 10, and:

3:56 AM

Ethan Frome was also terrible.

2 hours ago, by RedRiderX

@FAE doubleplusgood idea.

Kurt Vonnegut on the other hand. Genius!!!!!

cc @Frank @RedRiderX

@DavidM My book club's likely going to read Slaughterhouse-Five in Feb

3:56 AM

@DavidM Speaking of Vonnegut: Ever seen the film adaptation of Mother Night?

@DavidM I'm excited. My book club might be re.... what @FAE said. Dammit.

@LessPop_MoreFizz YESSSS!!!! AWESOME!!!!

Slaughter-house 5 is AWESOME!

@AshleyNunn I'm going to sit in the corner "I liked The Giver" corner with you.

@DavidM It's a... special film.

@FAE I'll join you guys.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Nick Nolte was excellent.

3:57 AM

The Giver was excellent.

user15026

@FAE Have you read the other three?

user15026

Because you should

Y'know what book was awesome? Lord of the Flies

user15026

they make it awesomer

user20683

Separate Peace

user20683

3:57 AM

that was a messed up film

I'm gonna sit in the "I've never read The Giver" corner.

@OrigamiRobot Ruined by HS English teachers.

@AshleyNunn I have not. I seem to remember you posting something about them on Goodreads and me being like "There's more?!"

@OrigamiRobot Meh. Never cared for it.

@OrigamiRobot This is another I've never read.

3:58 AM

@FrostEngineer Now that was a novel that high school ruined for me.

user15026

@FAE Yes! There are three more! (Gathering Blue, The Messenger, and Son)

A Wizard of Earthsea was probably the first book I read that completely blew me away. Been addicted to fantasy novels ever since. <_<

user20683

@Fluttershy Likewise

I'm not familiar with Separate Peace.

@DavidM Until you tell them that William Golding said that the book doesn't mean anything and that it's just about boys being boys.

3:58 AM

Ursula LeGuin is amazing.

@LessPop_MoreFizz The Black Fuher of Harlem! Great character actor whose name I can't remember.

@Fluttershy Wizard of Earthsea is always fun because you can use it to blow the minds of dumb sheltered white kids when you point out that there is no way in hell that Ged looks like them.

@Fluttershy My first Ursula K. LeGuin book was actually Catwings. <_<

@Fluttershy is amazing.

@FAE Same :P

3:59 AM

I had it when I was little and had no idea she was a huge prolific fantasy writer.

@PrivatePansy :D
