Working on statics homework

Fluttershy

@spugsley Hihi.

user15026

@Ktash Thanks, I've always liked blue!

user15026

@Unionhawk This is also applicable to me! (Trying to figure out code-stuff)

4:03 AM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, but with code stuff, there's a point where something works, then you just throw your hands up and don't ask questions.

user15026

@Unionhawk Not so with your stuff?

No, this is like, physics problems on steroids. Or rather, physics problems that aren't that hard, but I really should have paid attention more this week.

user15026

Eeergh :(

Q: How long does it take for the "Give Valentine" to reset on a character at your neighbours?

0

This is my first Valentine's Day event with Tapped Out, so I'm wondering how long it takes once someone gives a Valentine to your neighbor's character before you can give them another one. Many of my neighbours do not seem to have any characters which allow you to give them a Valentine, so they a...

@Unionhawk Physics problems? I love those!

4:18 AM

@Unionhawk You should have picked a major that doesn't include statics.

@OrigamiRobot That would eliminate literally all engineering majors around here. It's a general engineering class.

I'm CPE

@Unionhawk You should have picked a school where statics isn't a general engineering class.

user15026

I don't know what statics are, I think I am glad for this.

@AshleyNunn I don't either because I didn't have to take it. I've just heard the horror stories.

@OrigamiRobot Statics, Circuits, and Thermo are all general engineering classes. And they're all terrible. Yes Circuits is terrible because it's general engineering. Well, now there's an ECE specific one, but... it was terrible.

4:23 AM

@Unionhawk You have to take thermo too? Jeez.

@OrigamiRobot Yup!

Wheeeee

Well, not yet

The non-electricals did have to take a special electronics class. It was so bad. They basically crammed all four years of my stuff into one class for the people who didn't care about it.

user15026

That sounds terrible!

@Unionhawk Oh, I also got out of taking Engineering Economics somehow.

The circuits class I took covered... basic AC and DC circuits. We all went into Electronic devices with no knowledge on diodes etc, so the professor had to go through all that stuff.

4:26 AM

@Unionhawk We had DC in Fall of freshman year and AC in the Spring.

We didn't learn about semiconductors in either of them.

Q: What are the AIM values for aliens and EXALT agents?

0

I can see all of my units AIM values, both before the mission and during the mission with any modifiers for height advantage etc. What are the corresponding values for the aliens? Is it different for different types of aliens - are Floaters better shots than Thin Men? What about the EXALT agents...

Q: At which percentage of 2nd perk, perk reset leaves 1st perk at 100%?

I wanted to reset various perks of "value increases with progress" of my crew and replace them all with Brothers in Arms, which works only at 100%. I'm currently somewhere 25% up the 2nd perk but reset predicts leaving me with 98-99% of the 1st perk (paying credits (silver)), meaning incomplete B...

world-of-tanks

The main problem was that, with all the non-ECE people, and with the "work and learn in groups" model of class that this professor liked so much, ECE majors were left trying awkwardly not to make the other people feel really stupid.

@Unionhawk Wait, so you had to take an electrical class with non-electrical people?

Who does that?

@OrigamiRobot Well, it was technically a general engineering class. And Dayton did that, until recently.

Rargh.

4:29 AM

Now there is an ECE201 again

Decided to have dinner and a shower right after getting home.

Food in the belly feels good.

@Unionhawk The only mutidiscipline classes we had were Intro to ENGR I and Professional Development.

Oh, and Senior Design.

user15026

@Yuki I imagine it would! And you are clean, which always feels good to me at least.

A: How do I safely farm mid while Pudge is missing?

0

You can farm with your forge sprites if you can or try to keep them around you depend on your location so they will get hooks. But bring a pudge player its kinda hard to do anything to pudge if you get hook and your invoker. You can but a tornado staff and tornado your self as soon as you get hoo...

user15026

Me being clean, I mean. I have no idea what you feel like clean.

user15026

4:30 AM

....I should just stop while I am ahead.

Yeah, we got the evil triad of Statics/Thermo/Circuits.

@AshleyNunn You are "ahead"?

One person I know took all three in one semester.

This needs so much editing, but I don't know enough about the game to do so. The punctuation alone is hurting my eyes.

user15026

@FEichinger I thought maybe? Just this once?

user15026

4:31 AM

@DavidM twitches

@AshleyNunn Well, you were ... And then you kinda ran right into that pole ...

@DavidM It also seems like a specific strategy for a particular character.

@Unionhawk I do not envy you.

user15026

@FEichinger I suck at dodging!

Unless "forge sprite" means something else.

4:31 AM

@AshleyNunn <insert inevitable size joke>

IDK anything about the game. It came up in the review queue. I wanted to edit, but couldn't do it.

user15026

@FEichinger Psh, I am a 275 pound 6ft giantess. Dodging is so not even remotely a skill.

What does one do with that? I feel like a Low Quality Flag will be 50/50 accepted/denied.

@AshleyNunn You're 6ft? ._.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I am!

4:33 AM

@AshleyNunn Real life or in-game somewhere?

user15026

@DavidM In real life, I am a female human who is 275lb and 6ft.

@DavidM I mean, it's low quality, but I don't think it's "beyond help", like VLQ implies

@AshleyNunn We're the same height.

user15026

@DavidM Nice!

@Unionhawk Yeah, that's why I didn't flag it. It didn't quite meet the description for the flag.

4:35 AM

My license says 5'9"

But that's a lie, I'm really more like 5'8"

@OrigamiRobot But your Mom says you're 5'10"?

My license says 5'6"

What?

And yeah that's accurate

... I feel tall now. Thank you, Bridge.

4:36 AM

My mother always wanted me to be taller than I actually was for some reason.

Oh crap we're boosting @FEichinger's ego. Quick, someone be really tall!

And, to have long hair. IDK why. She's a repressed hippie I guess.

I'm 6 ft, (1.83 m). I can stand on a box if it helps repress @FEichinger, though.

Ktash

My stepdad is 6'7"

@Ktash That's like inconveniently tall, even if you play for the NBA.

(I'm 5'10" ... But being taller than @uni and the paperbot is quite a boost.)

4:38 AM

I know a couple people who are 4'11".

@Unionhawk I know a couple of people who are 3'2 (but they're 5)

I've been playing so much FF14, my eyes are getting tired.

@DavidM That doesn't count, silly!

Ktash

@DavidM Yeah, he can't really fly because he doesn't fit. He doesn't fit in a lot of places

@DavidM Yeah, I know 20 year-olds who are 4'11"

Ktash

4:39 AM

And I'm 6'2" though that isn't that tall

@Unionhawk I routinely care for a number of people from Ecuador and parts of Central America who are under 5 ft tall. I know a lot of adults who are about 4'7" or so.

Oh ffs statics homework please don't make me draw in 3 dimensions...

user15026

@Unionhawk I have a friend who is 4'11"....it's fun walking arouind with her

2 of my old supervisors were 4'11".

@AshleyNunn If you wear her in a little backpack you could re-create the whole Master Blaster thing from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

user15026

4:42 AM

@DavidM I never considered that but now I want to do that

@AshleyNunn I know, I got giddy just typing it!

user15026

@DavidM I really like that movie.

Tina Turner was awesome!

I actually like the song she did for it. A bit 80s, but still good!

Hey! why does my name show 3398 below it. I only have 3139 rep, though?

That's the sum of your rep on all sites

tiny-death-star dont-starve ios lego-indiana-jones minecraft oculus-rift os-x

David M, Where the hell am I, anyway?

3.1k 10 40

I have way more than that when you combine all sites.

4:45 AM

@DavidM -Association bonuses.

It's only sites where you have over 200 reputation

Chat rep is network rep from all sites with-- DAMN YOU @TimStone!

@TimStone Makes more sense. Thanks.

user15026

....you guys are way too fast at this.

It used to be total network reputation irrespective of that, but then it got changed.

4:46 AM

@TimStone Because there were too many sites.

It became possible to get 10k chat rep purely from AssocBonus.

OK, so NOW I have a reason to get more rep everywhere!!!!!!

Right. So it still is kind of that if you don't have enough reputation anywhere to have any association bonuses, but if you do then it switches to only sites where you have over 200 reputation.

@TimStone So ... the next time this becomes an issue is when ... there are 10k sites?

user15026

@FEichinger The idea of that many sites is alarming.

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger He said that it's only over 200, not that it's -associationbonus

4:50 AM

@Ullallulloo No, what he said was that as long as you aren't eligible for AssocBonus, it's pure network rep.

So, going back to my original question upon entering. Does anyone else think we need a flag that says "Please clean this up or it will be closed". It's different from Very Low Quality which implies that it's not salvageable.

@FEichinger Presumably

Ullallulloo

@DavidM VLQ puts it in the review queue doesn't it?

@Ullallulloo But the wording is wrong for that. See this example.

VLQ says it's unlikely to be salvageable by edit. But this would be more of a "put on hold until you fix it"

4:52 AM

You're arguing about closing questions ... You linked an answer.

@FEichinger I'm talking about an answer flag.

Why, yes, but then that is completely irrelevant.

There is absolutely no "put on hold" for answers.

Delete or leave be.

Honestly a down vote is the best tool for that situation, but the intention is not necessarily communicated to the author effectively.

^

Well, I think I'm going to go read some, and then crash out for the night.

G'night, Bridge!

4:54 AM

Which is why we have comments, of course. Whether there's room for improvement has likely been hashed tens of times over on Meta, so I won't even get in to that.

G'night!

@LessPop_MoreFizz BURN THEM ALL

@TimStone Sort of my point. Hence my proposal of a new instrument.

5:10 AM

@FEichinger It's really not that surprising. Everyone is taller than me.

user15026

@yuki Let It Go is totally my favorite song right now for so many reasons.

user15026

Also, I suck at going to bed.

Q: Where is the bin in .minecraft folder?

0

I have seen answers for this already but they don't work for me. I go to .minecraft and to versions and 1.7.2 and all I have is 1.7.4-natives[numbers] (tell me if you need these numbers), 1.7.2 [java] and 1.7.2json There is no 1.7.2.jar or .bin like there should be. Help?

minecraft

user15026

@davidm flags don't really tell the poster anything, short of us deleting or whatever and leaving a comment. Comment and down vote or just down vote are usually the options.

user15026

@lazers why do I feel like we have a few of these already?

5:49 AM

@AshleyNunn For sooo many reasons.

And raisins.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, same here.

Aaaaaa, I love this movie too much.

@AshleyNunn At least a few.

More than a few, really.

user15026

6:14 AM

@yuki I sang it in the shower (though I think I might have killed my speaker thing for my ipod)

@TimStone IN PROGRESS.

user15026

(I had it on the sink, as I usually do, but it started making terrible noises after my shower)

Bruce Campbell to play Ash in Evil Dead 4/Army of Darkness 2.‌

I presume that is a movie, but the last half reads like a score from a sports game from hell.

Q: How much XP exactly is earned per Enchanting action?

I want to level Enchanting efficiently, but I cannot find how much XP is earned per action, such as via disenchantment, enchantment, or recharging. What determines how much XP is earned per action?

Q: Installing RAGE with Discs

I am installing RAGE on my PC, after installing it fully I go to play and Steam wants me to download 17.9GB, would that be updates or what? I cant play until I download that and my internet is capped and I cant download is there away around this??

@LessPop_MoreFizz :D

@AshleyNunn It's because Sam Raimi is bad at titles/numerical sequencing.

Trent Hawkins

Bruce Campbell is not in enough things.

@TrentHawkins I'd argue he's in too many things, and most of them waste him.

@DVK No, but one of them sure as hell is THIS QUESTION IS NOT USEFUL. Asking about Alien is, at least debatable, marginally useful in the context of the origins of the test. Asking about Elric and Conan the Barbarian is, I'd argue, very much not useful, and decidedly misses the point of the test. — LessPop_MoreFizz 11 secs ago

Is it wrong that I really enjoy baiting people who get irrationally angry about downvotes? Especially when they're really easily justified downvotes?

Trent Hawkins

@LessPop_MoreFizz you have a point I suppose. His IMDB page isn't exactly empty.

Q: How does the counterfeit machine interact with the double coins spin prize?
