Q: Hunting or normal spears for hunting low level creatures

Lucas KauffmanWhat's the most cost effective for hunting with a paladin in Tibia? I often hunt in the Venore Salamander cave to the west of the south exit. I'm currently using normal spears, but would it be better to use hunting spears when it comes to cost and speed of gaining experience?

Q: Glitch in latest update- galactic registry

JeffbHas anyone else had trouble with the august update? After downloading , I lost deep core bitizen, and bitizens in galactic registry have changed appearance as well as a few in limited edition. They now look Nothing like they are supposed to

This needs a little bit of rewording to bring out the problem, rather than a, "Does anyone else have this problem?"
Because right now, the answers don't really solve the problem.
 
user15026
@Frank There is only one real answer.
 
user15026
The other one is NAA.
 
@AshleyNunn Well, neither one actually solves the problem. They're just reporting symptoms.
 
user15026
Okay, this is more of a poll than a question, so either it needs to be made a question somehow
 
user15026

So either a) we try to determine what teh user wants
 
user15026
or we go tableflip and comment asking for clarfication and close
 
I think there's a problem in there we can focus on, but I don't play tiny death star, so I'm leery about trying to change it to what might be the problem.
 
user15026
So....use your close vote powers?

Q: How to view regular tribute of our fraction to/afrom another one in Rome Total War?

Nam G VUIn the game, when making a diploma deal with the enemy, we have the option to offer/demand a regular tribute e.g. paying 100 diari for 4 turns. My question is after we offer/demand and get accepted, where would we see the list of all regular tribute items history?

@PrivatePansy oh?
it seems the same to me, at least on the website
 
Icon would be more accurate
 
btw, if I wanted to have a bunch of radio boxes in HTML, but didn't actually want the OS radio buttons to show up, how much black magic would I need?
 
@badp Not much at all
 
do I need to not use radio buttons to begin with?
I basically want a bunch of black boxes and when you click on one it gets green and the previous one becomes black and stuff.

A: How do I style radio buttons with images - laughing smiley for good, sad smiley for bad?

Yi JiangLet's keep them simple, shall we. First off, using pure HTML + CSS: <div id="emotion"> <input type="radio" name="emotion" id="sad" /> <label for="sad"><img src="sad_image.png" alt="I'm sad" /></label> <input type="radio" name="emotion" id="happy" /> <label for="happy"><...

JavaScript is no longer needed for this. input[type=radio]:checked + label>img will select the image just fine. See: codepen.io/DavidBradbury/pen/HuCqxConexion Jun 24 '13 at 18:37

Webhead101I have been playing recently on an Acer with Intel Pentium, but it doesn't seem to work smoothly. I have the option for a Toshiba with Intel Core i3 and a Dell Intel Celeron. I know I could use the recommended ones, but they are too much for my budget. Thank You

 
Is it flag all the questions day today?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, not every question.
 
@Frank so that's what I've been doing wrong
 
@KevinvanderVelden Flagging everything just makes you look like a grumpy jerk, like me. You don't want to be me, do you?
 
@Frank True true, who'd want to be like you? Almost as bad as being @Wipqozn
 
12:33 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Hey no, being Wipqozn is the best!
 
@KevinvanderVelden But not quite. Nobody's as bad as @Wipqozn
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Pumking tasted off this year... Too much hops, not enough pumpkin.
 
@Frank still, @Wipqozn doesn't have to deal with access databases as far as I'm aware, that is a plus
 
@KevinvanderVelden @Wipqozn also doesn't have minions he can send to do things.
Nor dance.
 
Do you make the minions dance? :o
Are you a mad scientist in a musical?
 
12:35 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Heh. Nah. Too much danger of kocking over something important at work.
 
@Wipqozn Do you have a cat? If you don't, you can't be the best.
 
@Arperum I have two cats.
 
@Wipqozn I have a second cat, but the first one is still lost :( She's seen on wednesday though, and then I went over there and shouted for 1.5 hours for her
the second one just literally jumped and clawed my throat...

Q: When should I use the Vaccinator?

During uber, you are only mostly resistant to one damage typ...

 
Achievement Unlocked: Hang up on a "Microsoft Windows Security" scam call.
 
@MBraedley I almost wish I had a sandboxed VM for those calls.
 
But a cordless phone doesn't have the same effect as slamming a traditional phone down on the button.
Do the people working at those call centres even know they're running a scam?
 
2:47 PM
My grandma had one of those calls. Fortunately she didn't fall for it because she doesn't have a computer.
 
@fredley yeah, I've done this; the only problem is myself (and the fact that the button jumps around slightly because I've decided to enlarge the active option and have transitions; I think I'm just going to ignore the issue)
I suppose there are better ways to deal with the color-n values in LESS but I'm not aware of one
@Frank You can probably run in circles for long enough to install one
also yay for having just broken 5k on SO

4:06 PM
@FEichinger I don't understand the fuss about the new steam interface
it's just slightly smaller font and slightly different buttons
the only 2 really noticeable differences to me are the font size and the fact that play button is now green
 
I don't have a direct comparison, but the font seems much smaller here.
 
@FEichinger well, I would estimate it to be 2-3 points smaller than it used to be
which is quite a bit, but the old font was really big
so I'm not complaining about it being smaller
 
It could be a reduced (vertical) padding as well, but it seems to me like a decrease by ~1/3.
That said, I'm not complaining either. I'm just saying it's gonna take some time getting used to.
 
I didn't mean that you were complaining, but I just don't understand why so many people have to get used to it :P
it didn't change much, imho
pretty much everyone seems to talk about the new steam interface
I wonder if there's a list of all interface changes, because I don't notice that many
 
They also removed the weird inset on the notification icon at the top. And the HUD notifications have become flat. Which was really weird the first time I saw it.
 
4:21 PM
everything became flat
not sure what you mean by "inset on the notification icon at the top"
oh that notification icon
 
Yes, that notification icon.
 
@Chippies omg steam made a miniscule change everybody lose your shit!
 
I know everything got flattened, but all the buttons and everything is still in the same places
so, to me, it seems like miniscule changes

Q: Can you pick the monster you spawn as?

SeiyriaThe monster you spawn as in Crawl seems to be random (based on your deity, of course). It seems like I see all three flicker before I spawn as one, though - is it possible to choose? This would make it much easier upgrade one line instead of upgrading evenly, for maximum damage.

Q: What is a good gaming laptop

user84181I want a gaming laptop preferablly 17.3 inches with no or little lag... i am on no budget.i like playing modded minecraft but after 3 hours of playing the game shuts down and I cant reopen the world without it shutting it down... also whenever .I look at something from mod it lags up completly

 
@Lazers nope
 
10:01 PM
"I am on no budget I like playing on modded minecraft" that sentence did not end the way I thought it would
 
@badp That's like two sentences though.
 
a full stop without a space is like love without the second party
 
Also the best gaming laptop is a desktop on wheels
 
Bit NSFW, but still funny

10:27 PM
If Firefox has an iPad version, that might do the trick
I believe Firefox for Android has (limited) support for extensions
 
@badp I don't think so. Apple (for some inane, possibly insane, reason) requires web browsers use WebKit as the rendering engine
 
Userscripts are essentially a script tag injected in a webpage; I suppose this is not completely impossible.
Otherwise please correct your handling of the device until the problem disappears
 
Yeah, I don't see anything in the options for userscripts. Using the ChatSEy interface would be a nice compromise on the iPad.

That sounds like a good plan.

Aaaand turns out a car was already on the way, someone else must've called
Well, did call. The person who held the party had put up a little announcement that they were having a party so if there was a noise complaint, you could call them, so we gave the number and they said a car was already on the way.
oooooooh and they're here
2 cars, 4 police officers
(could call the apartment that was giving the party I mean)
But yeah, these people were like... screaming.
 
user15026
That's not awesome :( Hopefully the cops take care of it and peace returns to your apartment and everyone is safe
 
FAE
And I'd rather call and know that someone isn't getting into a car drunk than not call and who knows wtf will happen.
 
user15026
Yeah, that makes perfect sense to me
 
FAE
Aaaand she was just arrested for disturbing the peace

@FAE well, I guess that solves that...
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn One of the officers was speaking with her, really reasonably, and she kept swearing at him, saying stuff like "kankerhoer", and he was like, "Okay, listen, you swear at me one more time and we're done here, we're taking you down to the station." And she did, and she was arrested for disturbing the peace.
 
user15026
@FAE I was going to say, that's not very nice of her to say! Guess she wasn't interested in cooperating.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah. Hopefully an overnight will help her sober up and calm down.
 
user15026
Hope so.
 
FAE
I just can't like, ethically let that go. If someone's trying to drive away drunk and isn't going to stop, I will call the cops.

Makes sense to me
 
@FAE TIL Dutch profanity is mostly about disease.
 
FAE
One of our neighbors was taking pictures with their phone. >_>
 
Dutch profanity can be divided into several categories. Often, the words used in profanity by speakers of Dutch are based around various names for diseases. In many cases, these words have evolved into slang, and many euphemisms for diseases are in common use. Additionally, a substantial number of curse words in the Dutch language are references to sexual acts, genitalia, or bodily functions. Religious curse words also make up a considerable part of the Dutch profanity vocabulary. Aside from these categories, the Dutch language has many words that are only used for animals; these words are insulting...

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, actually, yes it is!
 
It is so weird to me that you would tell somebody you do not like them by claiming they have cancer.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes.
 
Like, I can wrap my head around you should get cancer, but the way the internet is defining it for me, most of these are built upon the implication that the target is actually suffering from a specific disease.
 
FAE
@LessPop_MoreFizz Or tuberculosis. Or typhus.
@LessPop_MoreFizz This is correct.
"You are a dirty, sufferer of typhus"
Telling people they should get something is used as well. "krijg de <disease>!" ("Get <disease>!") is not uncommon. I've definitely heard "krijg de tyfus" before on the street.
It's one of the first things I learned about when learning Dutch way back.
 
user15026
Poep means "poop". Its diminutive poepje (or poepie) is used as a term of endearment comparable to "sweetie".
 
user15026
Languages are great.

@FAE It's an important thing to have learned otherwise you'd be like "...Uhhhh?" in hostile social situations.

Though most of the time, the diseases are used less often conversationally than the body parts.

FAE
And "achterlijk" is used... very, very often, unfortunately.
 
user15026
@FAE Yeah....that is unfortunately one I hear a lot when my grandmother is angry, the more she ages (and the more her mind gets confused) the more it happens.
 
Dutch is weird in just about any way.
 
user15026
Why did that get pinned?

@FEichinger The more I learn it, the more I agree.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah, "ben je achterlijk?!" or "Ik ben toch niet achterlijk!" are things you hear really commonly. :/
