Saddest "About Me" ever

@spugsley I'm running out of stars though.

GAH. I WANT MY PACKAGE TO ARRIVE. But it's midnight...

user15026

@John That was a rough one. :(

@Arperum You should probably sleep, then.

@AshleyNunn Especially since I remember talking to that guy.

It'll probably arrive tomorrow afternoon. When I'm going to a concert one bloody country away. And meeting someone who actually owns part of the bloody package.

@John Still have time.µ

@AshleyNunn Sorry.

user15026

@Arperum S'okay :)

I'll get out. Take a shower, then go to bed.

I have no idea what just happened, and I think I like it that way.

@Arperum Oh, you don't have to leave or anything

Also BLIND GUARDIAN show 1 in < 24 hours! and show 2 in < 48 hours! WOOO! HYPE!

user15026

@Arperum Oh, very nice

@Arperum noice, i am jealous

I am driving to the netherlands for the first one, stopping work at noon to get there ~four hours before the show starts, so I have a first row spot.

And If I had a way of getting to London and back I'd go to the show in London sunday evening too.

@Arperum Very cool.

But i don't have one.

@AshleyNunn Yea, I'm driving 2-3 hours to Eindhoven, taking my sister and a friend with me. Sister goes to visit someone she knows in the city, friend goes to some other show in Eindhoven.

user15026

@Arperum Fun! Nice to have company?

@AshleyNunn Yea, I'm also meeting multiple people on the show in Eindhoven, and a whole lot of other people on the show in Antwerp saturday. Meeting people is fun.

@AshleyNunn you should also totally listen to Orphaned Land. They are support for Blind Guardian this tour, and are pretty awesome.

Q: Gamerule Creator Generator Anyone?

I can add new gamerules into Minecraft with a bit of time, but I want a generator for it. If anyone could do that, that'd be great.

@Lazers gimmetehcodez?

@AshleyNunn Apparently people have even tried to nominate them for the Nobel Peace price.

Orphaned Land

Orphaned Land is an Israeli progressive metal band, formed in 1991 under the name Resurrection (changing their name in 1992 to the current name), that combines Jewish, Arabic, and other West Asian influences. The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, but has retained two of the founding members, Kobi Farhi (vocals) and Uri Zelcha (bass). They are joined by Matan Shmuely (drums), Chen Balbus (guitar/keyboard) who replaced co-founding member Matti Svatizky in 2012, and Idan Amsalem (guitars/bouzouki) who replaced co-founding member Yossi Sassi in early 2014. Their lyrics promote...

@Arperum i think you've linked some of their videos before

@AshleyNunn Yes.

10:25 PM

@GodEmperorDune Maybe, can't really remember. You sure?

Yup, I did.

@Arperum not 100%, but the name sounds familiar and it had a similar "all religions" kind of theme in the video

Q: How to kill The Twins In Terraria

In Terraria I often try to defeat spazmatism first, but when he transformed, his flamethrower killed me. What is easiest way to kill The Twins?

10:48 PM

sigh One of my aunts is turning her Facebook wall into support of this religious discrimination law.

@Frank i thought they amended the indiana one?

@GodEmperorDune I don't know.

All I see is her posting junk about a florist losing business because she wouldn't supply flowers to a same sex wedding.

@Frank That sounds like the florist's fault.

@Frank cnn.com/2015/04/02/politics/indiana-religious-freedom-law-fix

> The changes prohibit businesses from using the law as a defense in court for refusing "to offer or provide services, facilities, use of public accommodations, goods, employment, or housing" to any customers based on "race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or United States military service."

It doesn't accomplish what the law's critics wanted most: Adding sexual orientation to the list of categories protected by Indiana's anti-discrimination law.

@Lazers Is that really not a dupe?

10:52 PM

@GnomeSlice there is big money in boycotts and counter-boycotts

@Yuuki I love it.

just ask chik fil a

@Yuuki also this should be a feed into the room

@GodEmperorDune Wasn't there one state, whichever Gencon is in, where they passed a law where it's allowed to refuse service if it doesn't meet your religious rules?

@GodEmperorDune After I get the generator running if at all.

Until then, it'll just be popular GnomePhone stuff.

@Frank That was Indiana, where these amendments to the law were passed.

10:54 PM

@Unionhawk So...they can no longer refuse service? I am confused.

I hadn't heard about any amendments.

You know what is the saddest thing? In the Spring (aka right now) I am scared of being home alone or walking around in my house because I'm terrified of finding bugs

Just how much of a shame it is that a company declined business on religious grounds, and are now losing more business because of it.

In the spring I miss apartment living. Never had bugs. Just ants. Once.

To which I say, well, duh. You display some religious intolerance, it's going to come back to bite you.

@AshleyNunn my cat eats everything except these insanely giant palmetto bugs (aka roaches) because he is scared of them. And those are the ones I'm most scared of

yeah they are very Southern US type things

humid climates

@spugsley The cold would probably kill them.

they are even worse at the beach. And they FLY there shudder

> UPDATE: Memories Pizza is reportedly "temporarily closed" after the restaurant "was immediately flooded by threatening phone calls, and social media postings." "I don't know if we will re-open," Crystal O'Connor told The Blaze. "We're in hiding, basically."

While I'm happy that they're closed, I think this is a typical internet reaction. It goes too far.

@Frank there was a counter rush of conservatives donating money to re-open it

@AshleyNunn How can you walk out if you never walked in? You only looked

user15026

@John I am tricky like that

@AshleyNunn Oh, okay.

11:10 PM

@AshleyNunn this is the correct response

Tricksy Hobbitses

@murgatroid99 clearly gay marriage is equivalent to both murder and abortion

user15026

@John My feet aren't hairy enough.

@AshleyNunn Clearly this crisis must be remedied.

@GodEmperorDune I wasn't even sure if that's what he was saying, since he doesn't "have a problem with gay people"

11:12 PM

> In a separate interview with The Daily Beast, O'Connor clarified that although he doesn't "have a problem with gay people," he does not condone same-sex marriage.

then he lists other things he does not believe in

user15026

@John tapes her cat to her feet

@GodEmperorDune that's kind of having a problem with gays...

@GodEmperorDune It just felt like an unbelievably extreme comparison

@AshleyNunn I suspect the cat might object to this.

@AshleyNunn 10/10 crisis remedy.

11:14 PM

> I'm OK with gay people. I just don't want them doing gay things

@murgatroid99 i agree that it's extreme

Also, my local hobby shop is out of both of the spray paints I needed. :(

but in original context

> “I mean, we don’t believe in murder. I also don’t believe in abortion,” he said when asked about other events he would feel conflicted about providing services for.

so they will not cater murders, abortions, or gay marriages

user15026

@Frank Probably. Once he got a cotton swab out of the garbage that had glue on it and he got it stuck to himself overnight while i was sleeping, and he hated that, so I suspect being taped to my feet would not go well

@GodEmperorDune that last part isn't in the article

That's why I wasn't sure if that's what he actually meant

11:15 PM

@murgatroid99 its where they source the quote from, the link on "doesn't have a problem with gay people"

thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/01/…

> When asked about pizza for weddings with divorced couples, O’Connor paused. “You know, that’s something that I don’t have figured out in my own mind yet,” he said. “Because I’m divorced. So that’s something I don’t have figured out.”

Basically, "I haven't decided if I want to be a hypocrite, yet"

yeah

Alternatively, "It's OK, because I already did it"

Which is like meta-ethical hypocrisy or something

Q: The strange wall or background in the cavern layer of Terrarria

@GodEmperorDune the second part, at least, is consistent ethics. It's the first part that's just plain prejudice

@murgatroid99 well yes

user15026

@spugsley Okay, looks like Canada isn't affected. Good to know.

@GodEmperorDune The issue I had was with the guy judging himself by evolving rules based on his own life experiences, but judging others by strict arbitrary rules handed down by an authority figure

user20683

@murgatroid99 I've known a bunch of people like that

11:24 PM

We probably all do that at least somewhat, but the fact that it was obvious from just one interview made it kind of grating

Plus, it can become easy to tell yourself "Well, I had a really good reason for doing this, so it's OK, but most people don't have a good reason, so it's still bad for them to do it"

@murgatroid99 that's something like the definition of cognitive dissonance

@GodEmperorDune well, a specific case of it

@murgatroid99 yeah, no pedantry points for me

Q: 32 or 64 GB RAM

Currently I own a desktop HP Windows 8.1 PC and I am looking for an upgrade, I'm deciding on a new iMac (desktop) and I can't decide 32GB of RAM or 64GB. I am a gamer and want to play some very RAM consumption games such as Grand Theft Auto 5 Pre Release and Garry's Mod. There are a lot more game...

os-x

@Lazers I want to see the game they think they need 64GB of ram for

Gimp doesn't support pressure sensitivity with the Surface Pro 3 :(

user20683

@murgatroid99 I want to see the game they need 32 for

11:36 PM

@WorldEngineer What game do you even need 16 for?

@WorldEngineer Chrome

or 8

/s

user20683

@John Planetary Annihilation I think

user20683

it's not a min

user20683

11:37 PM

the issue is the 32 vs 64 bit

user20683

since 32 runs out of address space after 4 gigs

user20683

so you cut a chunk of the market out if you require over 4

@WorldEngineer At this point, you shouldn't be buying a 32 bit computer. Period

user20683

@murgatroid99 yeah if you're technically inclined and know what you're actually doing

@WorldEngineer No, I mean at all.

11:39 PM

but when are we getting our 128-bit computers?

user20683

@MBraedley when we have ram in the exabytes as I recall

The last few generations of most modern OS's work on 64 bit

@WorldEngineer looks right

@MBraedley i thought we'd have quantum by then

@GodEmperorDune that's kind of orthogonal

@GodEmperorDune touche

11:42 PM

Quantum computers have very different uses, and are unlikely to replace conventional computers in the forseeable future

@murgatroid99 stop raining on our parade!

Quantum computers will most likely start by replacing supercomputers for doing certain kinds of approximation problems

Also, obsoleting RSA

@murgatroid99 then they go into video cards, no?

@GodEmperorDune I doubt it

2 mins ago, by MBraedley

@murgatroid99 stop raining on our parade!

11:48 PM

Should I switch to talking about how clock speeds have basically stopped increasing, and we'll probably never have a 20GHz processor

Unless, of course, they figure out low heat 3D processor architecture

@murgatroid99 so they will just throw more cores at it instead?

@GodEmperorDune that's what they've been doing already for years

@murgatroid99 so what will they do when it's not possible to add more cores?

Why do you think modern processor cores aren't even twice as fast as the Pentium 4?

@GodEmperorDune You can just take up more space to add more cores

Some video cards have over 1000

(though, those are really simple processors)

@murgatroid99 what? 9000?

11:53 PM

I think it's that much. The point is that the primary constraint on processor cores will be space in which to put them, and they won't run out of that for a long time

They can just start adding motherboard slots or something

@murgatroid99 but the more space you take up, the more the power and heating/cooling needs also scale up, correct?

@GodEmperorDune Yes, but that's doable

The problem with processor speeds is that when they get too high they start melting the processor before the heat can escape
