Q: xbox 360 headset int ps4 controller

wyattIts a 2.5 mm size are there diffrent connection cables to make it able to work ( from a 2.5 to 3.5 jack size)?

00:54
@GodEmperorDune Oneboxing is not supported for .gifv, though you could just change it to .gif. Might cause crashes though.
@Yuuki I am lazy and we are way over #alwayswaittwominutes
01:11
I tried to quit today
and my manager begged me to give it one more week
@spugsley Didn't you just get the job?
yeah. The working conditions are horrible.
and I keep hearing "it'll be better!" but it isn't
@spugsley Demand twice the pay to stay.
I worked 12 hours today with no break. Not even enough time to take a sip of water or a bite of the granola bar I brought. Or use the bathroom.
@spugsley Ouch.
01:15
I called my manager afterwards and really let him have it.
because this is the third time this week. Progressively worse everyday. Progressively more and more time without breaks
@spugsley Yeah that's fuct
It might also be against FLSA
And illegal
it's okay. I screamed at him on the phone about how I had my lady business and couldn't go to the bathroom to take care of said lady business. For 12 hours.
Worker exploitation is never ok
and how I'm sure that's discrimination and sexism!
so he was fucking terrified
anyway. Yeah. It was the worst. I had horrible bouts of anxiety attacks and crying. And I just don't understand what it is about me finding jobs that seem amazing only to find out that they are the worst
Maybe my tolerance threshold isn't high enough.
@spugsley And NC is an at-will state, isn't it?
01:19
@Frank yes
@spugsley Bleh. That makes it worse.
all I know is that my pay today was 115 dollars
and what I went through isn't worth 1000 let alone 115
@spugsley 115 for 12 hours of work?
That's insanely low. Below our minimum wage, for sure.
@Frank yes. It's a daily rate. So the way they sold this to me is to say that there would be an even number of long days and short days (short being 3 hours of less) and I would get the same rate no matter what
but I am starting to think that's a lie
@spugsley Do you have a contract?
01:24
@Frank actually, no now that I think about it. I was never given a "you're hired" paperwork. Just company standard for dress code, pay, etc etc during training
@spugsley Ouch.
That gives them all the power.
not really. I don't need this job. I'm willing to give it another week because my poor old man manager begged me so hard on the phone. But I will not have another day like today. I will quit waaaaaay before the day is done
and he knows that
I made that way clear
@spugsley Power as in, "Take them to court and take them for everything they have"
@Frank eh, it's hard to do that in NC, contract or no
but that's fair. They do have the upper hand there
Ian is appalled I'm even giving it one more week. But I couldn't say no to my manager. Sigh
@spugsley My co-worker and I did that for our last workplace.
01:28
I let people push me around and I stay in situations way longer than is healthy
We had no formal on-call policy, and we'd get called in the evenings for the stupidest things.
@Frank wooow
I got called out of church for an issue that was so minor, I yelled at the guy.
But, employment standards had our back.
No formal policy = every single call counts as being called in.
Which meant we got 3 hours per call.
nice!
And since we already worked 40 hours a week, it was all overtime, so it was more like 4.5.
01:30
I wish NC stood behind employees instead of employers all the time :/
I got paid out five weeks of banked time for that.
that's amazing
All of a sudden, the minor crap didn't warrant a call anymore!
bahaha
When it costs the company $100+ per call for after hours support, they try to make it count.
01:37
ugh. I don't think a week will change anything. Even if it is better. I kind of really hate it. And it makes me feel bad and like a failure.

Q: Fail to finish the color-changing potion?

Southpaw HareIs it possible to not finish the teeth-whitening potion? It seems implied, based on the achievements and general setup of the quests that there are three optional quests in the game - one for each of the townsfolk: ...and, it seems that each of these acts changes the ending screen, as do all ...

@spugsley I'm sorry your work sucks. That daily rate is absolute shit
> The minimum wage law (the FLSA) applies to employees of enterprises that have annual gross volume of sales or business done of at least $500,000.
I did not realize you were exempt from minimum wage law if your business is really small
Apparently children working for their parents are exempt from child labor laws
Dammit, I just quicksaved when I meant to reload. There goes a bunch of work down the drain, not that stuff was working to begin with, though.
@GodEmperorDune To a degree
01:49
I'm surprised that something like that would need to be spelled out
@GodEmperorDune at first it didn't sound so bad because supposedly some days were really short. But I haven't had any short days.
@spugsley keep a spreadsheet of your hours.
@GodEmperorDune Ian set one up for me right away :p
They need to pay you more if pay/hours worked is less than minimum wage
01:51
@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, not bad. I'm not 100% sold but I'll give a few more listens
@spugsley I have been digging.
@spugsley There has to be some sort of labour law that says what you've gone through is illegal. Even Nova Scotia, which has some of the laxest labour laws on the books in Canada, requires that employees get a half our break for every 4 hours on the job (ostensibly for lunch), although it doesn't have to be a paid break.
@LessPop_MoreFizz why'd you delete my answer?
@Aequitas huh?
@MBraedley he'll say "If you needed a break, you should have taken a break. No one was stopping you."
he kinda hinted to that on the phone
but when you have a line of 50 teachers waiting for their picture and the lead photog is saying gogogogogogo it's not really a break friendly environemtn
@spugsley the photographers at my wedding too breaks when they wanted
@spugsley Well then you're just going to have to shed that niceness and be mean once in a while :P
Or pull a "ima piss all over the floor right now" and they should let you go
@Aequitas Because it looks to me like an exact duplicate of the existing (accepted) answer.
@spugsley you're way more famous and better at photography, you should just tell him off
he's a school photographer, you're a famous art photographer!
02:02
@MBraedley that's totally fair lol
@Chippies lol not even a little
@Aequitas got auto flagged as a duplicate answer; it's nearly word for word the same as the existing one.
@spugsley you're on book covers and all over the internet!
but I did score a spot in a gallery show in Nashville recently :3 and the piece will be sold at silent auction!
and you're in art galleries!
that dudes photos are in yearbooks and whatnot, that's not even close to what you do!
3
@LessPop_MoreFizz but it's not, there's 2 extra lines
02:04
@Aequitas Then you should edit the existing answer
Don't be a rep whore
@MBraedley not according to the wiki
i mean meta
It's not like the existing answer is years out of date
@Aequitas Where? Point me to where it says that.
everyone downvoting me for suggesting to edit it
@Aequitas 1) It still tripped the auto flag; 2) there is no fucking way I was going to notice that skimming through the flag queue at a glance; 3) that is a sufficiently minor change that I would update the existing answer, rather than posting a new one, or, if I did feel the need to post it as a new answer for some reason, I would do so in a manner that makes the discrepancies clear.

Q: Updating an out of date answer versus keeping author intent

Timelord64It is a given that, with time, questions and answers will become out dated. Good answers will not always apply to future patches, and questions may concern issues that simply do not exist in newer patches. I have been linked to a few meta posts regarding the appropriate action. The consensus her...

@Aequitas You are not changing author intent!
@Aequitas There's a massive gulf of difference between updating a few list entries, and totally rewriting an answer because a rebalance has totally changed the way a mechanic works.
>If an answer is out of date, post your own, up-to-date answer.
why you all yelling at me?
look at that post
@Aequitas Answer is not out of date, it's just missing information
i said to edit existing answers
I got downvoted
the answer that got upvoted was to "If an answer is out of date, post your own, up-to-date answer. "
02:08
You are overly simplifying this
@Chippies but what he does (and the company does) is make money. Lol I do not do that
Do you see the difference between that answer, and the one that we're discussing now?
@Aequitas They all jumping all over you for the new answer now??
@spugsley meh, there's plenty of jobs that make money. You make a difference!
although money is sure nice to have...
@James yup
@James I can't win
02:10
Two dozen of one, half a dozen of another man.. If you bend to their will they will stop hounding ya though.. So thats a plus.
<.<
ROFL
I saw a +100 Rep I was like, Uh oh whats going on
Forgot I signed up for a new SE today :)
you guys are funny
@Aequitas asked what to do with that answer, if he should edit it or not
people told him to post a new answer, because author intent or whatever, answers are outdated
now he did that and everyone's telling him to edit the old answer
and I'm just watching and laughing
@Chippies I wasn't around when he asked; a flag came up, I acted on it. He asked for an explanation, and I explained it. I don't know who told him otherwise over something like this, but... yeah.
@Chippies Actually I told him to edit it.. He said meta told him to post a new one.. I shrugged and said 'Do whatever'
@Aequitas So my impression is that you don't fully understand what's being asked in that meta, and your answer is counter to what we, as a community, want to do. That meta does not apply to your answer that you linked to, for a number of reasons.
Either way, I'm certainly not "jumping all over him" or getting angry about it.
02:15
@Yuuki This is actually a fake quote so far.. There is no evidence she actually said that. Kudos on the stars though :)
@MBraedley how does that answer on meta not apply?
@James eh, I don't recall the exact conversation as I was only half paying attention to it when it happened and I'm not good at transcript-searching, but it's still funny how there are differences in what is thought to be "right thing to do"
@Chippies Ive honestly seen both
I'll assume it's mostly the meta post that was "telling" to post new answer, rather than edit...
People can argue you put a bounty on a question to get 'new' more up to date answers
02:17
@Chippies that's what the meta posts are for
Not edited answers with more info cause you can't reward the person who did the editing
so that it's clearly defined
So a new answer with more up to date information is not a bad thing
Its just that in this case the new information is like 2-3 more entries out of a significant amount
@James it's pretty dumb tho in lots of cases like my answer yesterday
@Aequitas Because there's a difference, sometimes subtle, between an out of date answer and an incomplete answer. That meta is about old old old old questions and answers, where there have been drastic changes to the game. This answer received a relatively minor update that added 2 things to a list of 40-something long already.
02:18
So the percentage of new information is throwing people for a tizzy on where the line in the sand is drawn
@James yeh exctly
Most of the arguments in here are about where the line is drawn and I tired of em long ago.. hence my 'Do whatever ya want' last night :)
@MBraedley that's what the question is about, but the more general answer doesn't talk about that
@MBraedley Ifyou dont have a time measurement for that old old old old old as an actual viable measurement... then thats a line in the sand man.
@James Well aware of that.
02:19
@James well, I agree with that. If the "up to date" answer only adds (not even changes) couple lines, it's not worth posting a new answer, especially when more than 75% of it is a duplicate of old answer
@Chippies I agree completely
Id honestly be in favor of a system where questions older than a month old all go over to 'Community'
if more than half of the old answer is outdated, then sure, post a new one, but in this case an edit would have been fine
So we can just keep the information up to date and screw any points for anyone
@James me three see my -2 post on that meta where I mentioned that
We are not here to get points were here cause we like games and we like helping people
[shrugs]
02:21
@James except sometimes your answer doesn't get any upvotes until months after
But I am just a voice in a crowd.. waiting for my effing dinner w/ sweet sweet pie :D
@James HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@Aequitas You have to read the answer with the question. The answer pertains to the question, so without understanding the question it's impossible to understand the answer. You can't have one without the other.
@Chippies Dude I am getting tons of points now cause of all the android users playing Fallout Shelter and/or just the update that happened.
I completely understand old questions getting some points
Was just a concept :D
Maybe community them after the user who made em is inactive for a month instead
@James that seems more reasonable
02:22
Hold on, I'll write something up pointing out how stupid this is and get meta downvoted.
@Unionhawk Because that's not helpful
Dunno.. Hell I don't even think there is tech to do that, would be up to the mods to comb all the stuff.. I am sure @fredley or @agent56(?) could write a script to track down offending questions and absorb em.. but again.. I don't care that much Im just here to help answer questions when I can, and chat with you all :)
@agent86... Its not autocompleteing I forgot his name! D:
Its that one ^^ :D
I forgot who made all the stat scripts.. I think it was one of them.
@Unionhawk Hehe, How stupid what is?
@murgatroid99 reads transcript upwards, rereads @Frank's post Okay fair enough
@MBraedley but the question was general too: "Is it appropriate to add completely new content to a question, where there is a new solution due to newer changes to the game?" it's just the background info that was about an old old old game
I am wholly of the opinion that this should be classified more as an "it depends" sort of thing than a "no post your own answer" thing
02:30
@Aequitas And the accepted answer is general too. It says that you should write a new answer unless the change is very minor
@murgatroid99 he said the change to the game
and what determines "very minor"
@Aequitas Two lines out of 40.
@Aequitas looking at those two answers, it's hard to tell which one's more up to date, because they look the same
@Aequitas A 5% change to an answer is definitely very minor.
@Aequitas Percentage of original text modified? Percentage total change?
02:32
If an answer is outdated to the point that the update changes a no to a yes, post your own answer. If there's a whole new process to do a thing, new answer. If you're updating an answer that is largely the same still, there's no point in having a second answer.
4
it's pretty minor when it's a list answer and you just copypaste 90% of your answer and add 2 more lines
Which are respectively 0% and 5%
i agree, but where's this line drawn??
@Aequitas at common sense and community opinion
this doesn't seem like it needs a line drawn, imho
does your answer looks pretty much the same as the other answer? Then don't post a new answer
Unionhawk's statement seems like a good enough criterion to decide for almost every question
02:34

If an answer is outdated to the point that the update changes a no to a yes, post your own answer. If there's a whole new process to do a thing, new answer. If you're updating an answer that is largely the same still, there's no point in having a second answer.
Hehe, if the plagiarizing test says you plagiarized, then yeah edit instead of post :D
And in the unusual edge cases, you can leave a comment on the answer, or ask here
If you're adding detail or adding or adjusting a line item, it's not a new answer.
@murgatroid99 i did ask here, was told to post answer -.-
that's the whole point
@Aequitas Did the people you were asking know the extent of the change that would be made?
02:35
yes they knew
In a list answer like that; I think editing the answer is the preferable option. If you write a new answer 95%+ is going to be the exact same (there's not much you can even do to provide superior formatting to the existing information), word for word, of the existing answer. Duplicating that information for a new answer is not helpful.
Dammit, where's the text of the "radical change" reject reason
Why are there no pending edits
@Aequitas So, the salient portion of the meta question, to me, is "It is a given that, with time, questions and answers will become out dated." That "with time" is the important part. You let a little more than a month pass, when the meta is really concerned with a question asked when a game was 1.0.1, but the latest patch is 1.18.1_build-2549 and everything has changed and oh god the original answer would just never work.
@Aequitas And, with that little time, the first step could have been commenting on the answer and pointing out that it was slightly incomplete
It was posted by someone who has other posts on the site and was last seen within the last day
I finally read what the question was... The old answer is at best incomplete, not wrong or outdated in any way
02:42
It's the difference between an answer to "What are the fastest ways to travel between point A and B in minecraft" and "What are all the blocks in minecraft" An update to minecraft may radically change the fastest travel method, and an answer would have to be changed considerably to be updated.
Whereas that same update may only add two blocks, which doesn't warrant an entirely new answer - as the vast majority of an existing answer would have to be copied, word for word, for a new answer to include two new items.
Yay Dinner! :)
@James enjoy your pie haha

UnionhawkIt depends. Yes, posting you own answer gives you more reputation (any reputation for users above 2k). But that's not really why we're here, no? We're here to provide expertise on a subject, not just to earn imaginary internet points. With this in mind, it absolutely depends on what the edit ent...

Should that be a whole 'nother answer with just the word "not" removed?
It's changing the meaning of the answer, not just adding to it
@Aequitas That is, at best, a comment.
Also 'I saw it happen once' from an anonymous answer with no proof is not a good enough reason to ok a change like that
02:49
@James note I rejected it
If it added a youtube link to proof of it working as the answer describes, it may warrant being an edit
@Aequitas Note you asked us to comment on the edit
Iron?
Or was that a frustrated 'eff everyone' short handed?
fair enough?
