@LessPop_MoreFizz I suspect if I knew whatever that thing was, it would be more interesting

@BenBrocka Jeez... 48 GB for half an hour?

@Wandang Yeah, but that is different than the direct payout

@LessPop_MoreFizz I just watched the first episode of House of Cards (season 1), and I do not understand the political implications of some of the stuff. It was really good, but I was wondering if you'd care to explain.

Wandang

its the whole deal

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria Sure!

@AshleyNunn Tinder is... essentially a hookup app.

StrixVaria

Mostly, what's the big deal about the education reform bill getting leaked?

Everyone's reaction was horrified, but...why?

RedRiderX

I finally got past 1000!

You put your photo up there, and it shows you the photos of other people who are near you, and you basically hot or not them; if you both like each other, it connects you to send messages, and presumably hook up.

@StrixVaria Well, first of all, because it was a confidential not ready for the public, in progress draft.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Right, that I get.

But they seemed to think it was even worse than that. "Far left of center" being some kind of bad thing.

Q: How do I plant crops newly acquired in trade?

My village has squash and peppers natively and they're growing fine. Traders brought wheat and I traded for 100 units of it, then designated a farm, but when I try to assign it to growing wheat, only my squash and peppers are options. What's the trick?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah, okay, that makes more sense

LessPop_MoreFizz

Most notably, because it came out unexpectedly, and ahead of the planned announcement, it undermined the eventual announcement - and, even worse, because of the content of the draft being extremely politically not viable ("Far left of center" means extremely liberal, and presumably, unlikely to ever pass.), it undermines the overall agenda.

StrixVaria

@LessPop_MoreFizz Interesting. I guess the president saying "within 100 days" and then having some piece of garbage leaked that day doesn't look very good.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@StrixVaria Essentially, the draft was the work of an idealist whose objectives were very much out of step with mainstream opinion on the issue; it never would have passed, and by leaking as 'the presidents planned education bill', substantially undermines the presidents negotiating position, and forces him to throw the author of that draft under the bus and put Frank in charge.

@Fluttershy Could be worse. Could be better. It's MotionJPEG, it's actually perfect size. High enough quality to survive another pass through encoding (it needs to be edited in most cases), low enough filesize it can happily write to an HDD with no problem and never be TOO big

StrixVaria

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok, that makes sense.

I like the overall tone of the show, but hopefully that kind of stuff gets easier for me to follow...

Ben Brocka

And it doesn't really take any longer to encode than a smaller file of the same length and output quality

@Wandang Not to whatsapp. To Whatsapp employees, essentially to make them stay on with Facebook rather than just bolting right out the door as soon as the deal closes, which happens often with acquisitions.

@StrixVaria It should hopefully, as you get the hang of it. Though if you have questions, just holler.

StrixVaria

@LessPop_MoreFizz Will do.

Sterno

Oh shit

Thanks for reminding me season 2 is out

I was sitting here randomly web surfing when I could have been doing something awesome

@Sterno YES. WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT.

I HAVE PLOT POINTS I NEED TO DISCUSS.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, a US Snowboarder (The girl that won the gold medal in the half pipe in fact!) made a comment to a reporter about how Tinder in the Olympic Village is "Next Level" and people have been joking about it since.

TBQH it's... an accurate statement. Which is ultimately pretty unsurprising, given the sort of selection process at work.
