Nzall

@Yuuki Yeah, but the previous pokemon games didn't have unfortunate implications from the abbreviation.

I mean, even in this chat we usually refer to it as pokemon SuMo.

just to avoid confusion with the sexual deviancy

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley because your desktop is nice and cozy and the test lab is cold and harsh, it just wants to be comfortable

@TimStone No, Trump exceeded Petraeus's expectations by refusing to divulge state secrets in return for a head of state tweeting "he has the biggest hands I've ever seen". Sex is probably still on the table though.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan The liberals already look to be backing out on their 'promise' to change it, but even if they go ahead looks like they're just going to go with another shitty system.

Honestly NDP is the only party I'd trust to actually implement a non-shit system, since they'd be the party to benefit the most from a proportional system.

Jason Berkan

Just give each party a % of MPs based on % of votes. Done. You could even do it by province, if you wanted, though that would throw in some "rounding" errors.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan yeah basically MMP, which is what I like

@JasonBerkan The part I don't like is that political parties are now baked into the system.

@Wipqozn 'Cuz we're both in horribly underpopulated provinces.

Wipqozn

Maybe then you'd see the conservatives split up again. It all happned before I could vote, but they used to be two parties from what I understand, with one being a lot moore right wing than the other.

@JasonBerkan True, the per province thing would help with that

Kevin van der Velden

The regular "we're economically conservative" and "we're against progress on anything"?

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden That's what I've heard, but I never did any research into how the parties differed.

Jason Berkan

@Yuuki They kind of are, at least here in Canada. PM is just the leader of the party with the most elected MPs.

Wipqozn

but I just dislike the idea of "We're the left party", "We're the right party". The political spectru is a lot more complex than right and left.

@JasonBerkan yeah we don't elect the PM directly.

The thing is, the clinics and such don't pay for landfill maintenance.

Whereas they will have to pay for burial and cremation.

GodEmperorDune

i mean if Texas DIDN'T have a history of passing laws to make it more difficult to get abortions (or make it more difficult for clinics to stay open), i would give them the benefit of the doubt

@GodEmperorDune Wait, we have social services?

Ellesedil

You know what I wish would happen? That the "pro-life" people would invest their millions upon millions of dollars that they are spending on fighting abortion and instead invest it on scientific research to extend our ability to have viable fetuses outside of a mother's womb.

LAN Chile Flight 210 crashed in the Andes on 3 April 1961. All 24 people on board were killed, including 8 professional footballers and 2 members of the coaching staff from CD Green Cross. It was Chile's worst ever aviation disaster at the time. == AircraftEdit == The accident aircraft was a Douglas DC-3, registration CC-CLDP. It had been manufactured in 1943 as a military Douglas C-47A, manufacturer's serial number 9716. At the time of the accident, it had accumulated 18,300 hours. == MissingEdit == The Douglas DC-3 airliner was one of two aircraft used to transport the football team home after...

Yeah, I think it was this one.

Q: When can I leave a match and still have it count for stats and merits?

Most games in Titanfall 2 end with an escape sequence with no respawns. I noticed that there is no warning message about this match counting as a loss for leaving early if you can no longer respawn. Does this also mean you will receive merits (exp) and the game is counted towards your stats if...

No wait, it might've been this one.

In more upbeat news, Houston Methodist Research Institute and NASA are launching nanomedicine experiements.

> Much of the center's research aims to improve the way implantable medical devices release drugs into the body. By diffusing the drugs through tiny channels - each one about 50,000 times smaller than a human hair - scientists think they can deliver the drugs at a steadier rate and perhaps control the delivery via computer or smartphone.

It would also solve the problem of needing people to remember to take their pills.

@StrixVaria does wikipedia even still do that?

Q: Does the damage of the Overseer's Guardian include one bullet or both?

For example, I have the calibrated power receiver on my Overseer's Guardian, and it does about 140 damage. Since OG fires two bullets each time the trigger is pulled, does each bullet do about 70 damage, or does each bullet do about 140 damage, coming out to 280 damage a pop?

@StrixVaria a couple of trains crashed in the past few days too

Pukhrayan train derailment

On 20 November 2016, the Indore – Rajendra Nagar Express 19321, a scheduled train from Indore to Patna, derailed near Pukhrayan, Kanpur, India, resulting in at least 150 deaths and more than 150 injuries. It is the deadliest train accident in India since 1999, when the Gaisal train disaster claimed 290 lives. == Accident == The Indore – Rajendra Nagar Express travels twice a week between Indore Junction railway station and Rajendra Nagar Terminal in Patna. At approximately 03:10 local time on 20 November, the train derailed in the town of Pukhrayan near the city of Kanpur. Fourteen carriages were...

Semnan–Damghan train collision

A train collision on the main line between Semnan and Damghan, Iran occurred on 25 November 2016 when two trains collided in Iran's Semnan Province resulting in at least 47 deaths; 103 people were injured. There were reported difficulties with the rescue operation due to the incident's remote location 4 km from the nearest station, Haft-Khan, and the fact that only one helicopter could reach the scene immediately to join the rescue operation. It was the deadliest rail disaster in Iran since the Nishapur train disaster in 2004. == Accident == The accident happened when an express train from Tabriz...

Does Paragon have a ARAM mode?

I almost exclusively play Assault in Smite because I'm too lazy to keep up with the meta.

Not yet, but they've mentioned an all-mid mode as a future possibility

Heh, old paragon map didn't even have a meta. It was too big.

@StrixVaria so the final season will just never be released?

I mean, if they want to stay true to the books

StrixVaria

Should we fight over whether GRRM or Rothfuss is worse?

I can kind of identify with Rothfuss a little in my own experience as a (much worse) writer. GRRM has just seemed to lose control of his own series.

GRRM has kinda gotten to a weird point where I feel like his story is so big that he can't possibly finish it all

@Ash Why were you mad at Rothfuss?

GodEmperorDune

@Ash clearly he needs to team up with chuck tingle

MBraedley

I mean, who could ever be mad a man with the beard and deep voice that he has?

StrixVaria

I also don't enjoy GRRM's writing, which doesn't help my opinion overall of the state of his series.

Jason Berkan

I can't read it anymore. Massive story context switches every chapter makes me want to throw the book across the room.

StrixVaria

7:55 PM

Well it also feels like he forgot that writing is supposed to be entertaining.

@JasonBerkan That's one of the reasons I stopped reading the Wheel of Time series. I was pretty deep into it too.

But the sequels started jumping all over the place and I couldn't keep track... so I just bailed on it.

@Ellesedil My best friend has read every single one of those. And he won't let me start.

7:56 PM

My issue with WoT wasn't that there was too much jumping. Pacing-wise, that actually seemed ok for a story of its scale.

My issue was that there was exactly 1 character out of all of those POVs that I gave more than zero shits about.

I hated everyone.
