@fredley Man, I want one of those SAMPLE plates.

Matt Giltaji

i heart the 48, lol

badp

@fredley eh. Many here have worked and still work longer harder hours. (Hi @Fluttershy.)

@MattGiltaji I don't get it

@badp ouch

@fredley they like the mainland us states (everyone except alaska and hawaii)

badp

10:17 PM

My 1h50'-per-direction commute is spent mostly chilling out on a train.

(It's also validating my choice of going for a tablet with mobile data really hard.)

Matt Giltaji

@badp i thought all those fancy european trains had wifi

badp

@MattGiltaji no. Even on our fanciest trains, wifi is free because it works poorly.

To be fair a large distance on the Milan-Rome service actually happens underground, or so I hear.

Matt Giltaji

@badp that's just what they want you to think

Batophobia

@fredley Given that I've seen numerous pickup trucks with fake testicles I doubt this will get too far.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley I mean, I know it seems strange coming from a country where free speech is not enshrined into the very fabric of your constitution and governing principles and the parliament can pass laws censoring the press as much as they feel like, but here in the states, we have a bedrock immutable principle that says free speech shall not be abridged, and the exceptions to that principle are extremely narrow and taken Very Seriously.

badp

10:20 PM

That said, the Milan metro has cellular signal. 4G cellular signal.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I understand that in England, you guys can just censor whatever you want, but here it's a big deal when anything that is speech is restricted.

Matt Giltaji

@LessPop_MoreFizz especially money

because we all agree that money == speech

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MattGiltaji Indeed!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH YOUR FREE SPEECH ONCE YOU'RE IN THE NY METRO WITHOUT ANY DATA CONNECTION

@badp yes, but with moar punctuation

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp NY doesn't have a metro.

NY has a Subway.

Also, there is wifi in many stations now. Should be all within a year or so. Cellular service too for some.

badp

oh, nice.

Tim Stone

@LessPop_MoreFizz This particular instance still seems a bit weird to me since there's no obligation for the states to allow the sponsored license plates to begin with. In fact, I think that's the solution. Let's just do away with them all and avoid taking up the court's time.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Now I'm hungry again.

Matt Giltaji

@TimStone no, i like my yosemite plates

LessPop_MoreFizz

@TimStone Also, speaking of the Subway in NY

@fredley wat crash is this?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley its actually an interesting constitutional question in the context of whether plates are state property, and whether the state can be compelled to provide a medium for some speech.

badp

@MattGiltaji A flight from Spain to Germany crashed a little ways in France. No survivors.

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz But can I turn it into a gun?

That's the real question here

GnomeSlice

Matt Giltaji

10:40 PM

@badp oh, that sucks

badp

They literally crashed into a mountain.

Matt Giltaji

> zone de crash

fredley

@MattGiltaji oui

badp

I guess the flight was really Barcelona-Barcelonnette.

Matt Giltaji

is there no french word for "crash"?

or is it pronounced differently?

like le crashe

or something

badp

10:43 PM

If there were, they'd probably have used it.

fredley

@MattGiltaji It's probably le crash

Matt Giltaji

> White House says no suspicion of terrorism

badp

Matt Giltaji

anyone want to bet if Fox will blame this on isis?

fredley

@badp Can see why the BBC might avoid that word

badp

10:44 PM

If it was terrorism they'd have crashed the airplane into a nearby city like Nice, Turin or whatnot.

GnomeSlice

@Chippies I need you to find me a stormworld sull series torrent

Tim Stone

@badp Fracas means something different though, which is why it was appropriated into English

GnomeSlice

it's 26 episodes

badp

@fredley The picture was tweeted by the French police, for what it's worth.

Tim Stone

"the crash" is indeed "le crash" in French

GnomeSlice

Q: Why don't airlines fly a straight line between Barcelona and Düsseldorf?

In the wake of GermanWings' terrible incident of flight 9525, I have noticed that the crash location is quite far from the straight route connecting the two airports. I then went on FlightRadar24's website and checked that this is the normal route for this flight (and that there is an alternate ...

@TimStone eh

@fredley ?

I can't look for a torrent without knowing what it is I'm actually looking for

I guess the police was too busy getting stuff done to indulge in vocabulary patriotism.

GnomeSlice

@Chippies stormworld, the show

Tim Stone

@TimStone (Not that it was likely to have mattered much in this case, but)

@TimStone dat map

ugh shitternet

Stormworld is an Australian-Canadian television drama series aired on the Nine Network in 2009 in Australia and first aired on Space March 2009 in Canada with a repeat broadcast in August 2009. The show follows two boys, Jason (Andrew Jenkins) and Lee (Calum Worthy), after they are transported to an alien world (Stormworld) with three suns, through a vortex while on a boat trip that started in Vancouver, Canada. The boys receive help from Flees (Valentina Barron) a seasoned veteran of living on Stormworld who has a special boat named Stormrider. The boys, as new arrivals or "access crashers" as...

is this the show you're looking for?

GnomeSlice

@Chippies what about that private torrent site

Yes, because clearly the inclusion of a system you don't like in a video game that you are buying is an insult to your retrograde politics.

> JS: We really put a lot of effort into our stat spread. We've tweaked and tweaked and retweaked this over time. For instance, the Might score increases damage and healing for everything. You might say, "Dude, why should Might affect the damage of my pistol?" and I say, "Shut the $#&^#& up." The point is that it's good for any class that wants to focus on [Doing Damage]

Josh Sawyer is a smart game designer and turbonerds at rpg codex are hilarious.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I take it most of the hate is from people who just wanted the game to be a copy paste of baldurs gate?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Yes, except some of them seem to have confused Baldur's Gate for Fallout 1 somewhere along the line in terms of mechanics.

@Wipqozn It's more that they want it to be a copy past of their memory of Baldur's Gate. Which is... often not entirely accurate anyway.

Wipqozn

> Obsidian seems to go by the motto "fans are stupid and don't know what they want".

IGnoring, for the moment, I doubt they actually said that... that's not exactly an incorrect statement

Matt Giltaji

@Wipqozn It's a very correct statement.

@Wipqozn or they want things that seem good for them right now but actually degrade the experience in the long term
