"Quit making it so easy to vote" is the overall neoconservative strategy for winning elections https://t.co/pmH29AXd4X

@Unionhawk ....the fuck
@Ash yes, this is why we can't have nice things
ULTIMATE STRATS: 1) make it hard for anyone else but rich white people with full time jobs to vote 2) win everything forever
3) keep it low key and don't actually tell people that you want to make it hard to vote
00:04
4) don't worry we're just preventing voter fraud you guys
@Unionhawk 5) get busted by the courts and do the absolute minimum required to fix it
6) you guys it's actually rigged the other way because our strats are totally allowed but everything else is unfair waa moooooooooooooooooom
Oh man Twitter is on fire
and you thought elasticsearch had the most fucked up leader election algorithm
@fredley hue

That's...strange. My next 100 Banks cost less than my next hundred of anything. I have 200 of all of them.

Q: How do I remove Mr Handy

CoomieI'm trying to clear out my fallout shelter I've removed most settlers and most rooms. But I can't delete my last rooms because they have Mr Handys (Handies?). I have 5 exploring and can't send out any more. Can I remove my excess Mr Handys?

@murgatroid99 #closeenough
@Yuuki @strix have you ever played ap nasus?
@Dragonrage Before they changed his W to do 50% of its damage upfront, yes.
Or E. I can't even remember which buttons his skills are on now.
e is the magic dmg
@Dragonrage It's basically his go-to build on ARAM.
It's also pretty hilarious.

Q: Minecraft won't allow me to upload my own skin, can someone please help?

OMG_ItzSeza I have tried multiple times to upload a skin that has been saved to my camera roll on my iPad. It is coming up with this message (pic attached). I've asked people in my family and none of them know what has happened. If you guys could help, it would be much appreciated.

@Lazers2.0 so this is a dupe of the question a bit above, but because the other question doesn't have any answers, I can't mark it as duplicate.
Got a theory that roughly one year ago some scientists activated a secret underground stupidity accelerator the size of a fucking mountain.
09:32
@Nzall cc @fredley can you close/remove one of the two? The older one has a removed user, so maybe remove that one for having at least some chance of having an answer accepted.
sor'id
@fredley Thanks.
@fredley I just realized that if you want the GBP to become competitive with the USD again, your best hope might be a Trump victory. It would probably cause the value of the USD to come crashing down
But that would be like breaking a levee to water your crops
@Nzall Yeah, also it would probably not improve GBP/EUR, which is a much more relevant rate. Most of our trade is with Europe, so apart from a few things like Apple products, the EUR rate affects shelf prices the most.
But if Trump wins the World economy will collapse, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He won the first three villages...
09:47
@Arperum And where were those located?
WHich is a worthless statistic, but whatever.
@Nzall New Hampshire.
> In Dixville Notch, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump 4-2. Libertarian Gary Johnson received one vote, and the 2012 Republican candidate, Mitt Romney received a surprise write-in ballot. In the slightly larger burg of Hart's Location, Clinton won with 17 votes to Trump's 14. Johnson got three votes, while write-ins Bernie Sanders and John Kasich each got one. And in Millsfield, Trump won decisively, 16-4, with one write-in for Bernie Sanders.
so he won one out of 3 villages
but he won that one with a landslide
How are these results public?
> Don't read too much into the results from these towns. They lean conservative and tend to vote Republican, and obviously represent an extremely small sample. Dixville voted for the Republican in every election since 1960 — including Barry Goldwater who lost in a landslide to Lyndon Johnson — until going for Obama in 2008, and splitting the vote between Romney and Obama in 2012.
@fredley Midnight voting with public vote counting
it's essentially a publicity stunt for the resorts that are in those villages
09:56
Best summary of the elections I've seen so far:
The vote for who shouldn't be president of the United States has begun

@Dragonrage 10/10
11:15
@fredley so who won
@Unionhawk no it's not
@Nzall what the fuck
how are those numbers -- any numbers -- available before voting closes at all
this is stupid
@badp they're 3 towns that tally the votes in public at midnight
but the voting is today, not yesterday
you should be waiting for the last queue in the last county in the whole country before you give any hard numbers of any kind
The new Toblerone looks like one of the shitty photoshops people were sharing before Brexit about what life would be like if Brexit lost

Boop
For clarity: new toblerone:
old toblerone:
damnit, now I want Toblerone
Literally the top story on BBC news, above the election
@PrivatePansy I really should see that new short. I was in line at the snack bar during the airing of that one
@fredley thing is, I actually think it's an improvement. This makes them easier to snap new bits off
more leverage, easier to get your fingers between the Tobles
@fredley That's not hard when the entire list are stories about the election
@PrivatePansy flagged for absence of Radiant Hope.
11:36
@PrivatePansy Thing is, outrage over a freaking candy bar redesign shouldn't be more important than the next leader of the free world
@Nzall No, that's a bug not a feature
Planet Earth II is a 2016 British nature documentary series produced by the BBC as a sequel to the highly successful Planet Earth television series, which aired a decade earlier, in 2006. The series is presented and narrated by Sir David Attenborough with the score composed by Hans Zimmer. The first trailer was released on 9 October 2016, and the series premiered on 6 November 2016 in the United Kingdom on BBC One and BBC One HD. Planet Earth II marks the first television series that the BBC have produced in Ultra-high-definition (4K). == Production == The series was announced by the BBC in 2013...
I did not know this was happening
It'll be impossible to break exactly at the midpoint, making sharing equally almost impossible
@Wipqozn Neither did I
@fredley don't you see the small indent in the middle between each segment?
also, if you're that concerned about equal sharing, you get a knife. I had trouble breaking them in equal parts back then anyway
it sometimes snapped wrongly, like only the triangle but not the base.
@fredley I'll need to find someway to watch this. IDeally legally, since I want to support a project like this.
I wonder if my parents get BBC
Probably not :/
11:38
@Wipqozn Fly to the UK?
@Nzall What kind of monster cuts chocolate with a knife?!
A quick google suggests "probably not"
Maybe I'll try to get a proxy set up
@Wipqozn Yeah, VPN it
I dream of a day where cable companies and stupid region copyright laws aren't holding back the rest of the world
If BBC has a "throw money at us to watch this episode right now" button, I'd press it
@Wipqozn This is the stupid thing isn't it. Current licensing models prevent you from paying even if you want to.
The moral of the story is that I blame cable companies for everything.
Oh hey, Planet Earth 1 only costs $30. Maybe I'll just buy that and watch via, uh, other means, so that I can throw money at the BBC for this somehow.
@Wipqozn I personally think that's the morally right option: if you can't stream it and rather wouldn't bother with the hassle of swapping DVDs (or don't have a DVD player), just buy the DVDs and download a digital copy to watch
@Nzall He wants to watch Planet Earth II though.
BUT what I would like there to be is that you can just pay a reasonable fee directly to the producers of the TV show in return for permission to torrent it. Basically piracy without the associated income loss
I mean, many torrenters don't do it because they' want to save money. Many of them do it because they have no legal alternative
@Nzall At which point it isn't piracy...
Just legal torrents.
@Arperum yeah, I didn't call it piracy
I said it's "basically" piracy, but I didn't say it was piracy
12:08
AHa
CD Projekt or whoever said it has the right idea: you don't need to remove piracy, you just need to provide a better service than piracy
So who won
@badp results inconclusive, ask again in 12 hours
What's the forecast? Rain or orange nuclear war
12:16
@KevinvanderVelden Nuclear rain?
I think you'll find most rain is made of nuclei
So According to Doctor Who, today is the day we decide between Missy and the Slitheen
Hmm, I don't think clinton ever turned everyone into a clone of herself
@KevinvanderVelden No, but remember Harold Saxon, the Master turned PM of England?
12:29
this is roughly the same situation, except of a regeneration, it's a marital dynasty transfer
I still don't think clinton turned everyone into a clone of herself though
Or that she ever caused a year of time to not-happen
Though the slitheen comparison is more accurate, all of their plans fail somewhere before they start. At least the master's plans work and then get stopped
ugh school coffee tastes like burned tea
I might attempt cold brew at this rate
@Nzall that's why I torrent
@Nzall that's why I torrent
that and sometimes legal alternatives are wayyy too expensive
I just woke up, did hillary win yet?
12:45
@KutuluMike Is everything on fire? If not: she hasn't lost yet.
why do people do this potaka.io
@badp I have no clue what is going on over there.
@Arperum it's a programming language in Bengali
@badp Convenient for native Bengali speakers
@Arperum which is why this kind of stuff is so dangerous
some people will actually end up using it, and then sooner or later it'll have to interact with, well, anything at all ever, and then there will be tears
12:53
@badp Yes.
don't we have enough misery in IT
do we also have to add putting code through google translate to the pile of misery
@badp There is never enough misery
no, I think we are close to peak misery
@badp Just work in VBA for a few years.
Javascript is iterating very quickly on systemic misery generation
@Frank I have
12:54
@badp That's the thing about misery, you can always heap on more misery
@badp then honestly you should know that there's no peak misery already =p
@KevinvanderVelden but like, it's still misery written in English
Other languages deserve misery too!
English is the language of IT. You can't fool yourself that you can do IT without knowing English
the misery then is learning English
SE isn't helping here, with pt.SO es.SO ja.SO ru.SO and whatnot
@badp No, the misery is learning how to interpret the English of that Indian person who learned it in a 3 week e-correspondence course and has an accent that's thicker than lead paint
so much information is now written in language that only so many million people can read and understand
@Nzall English is the official language of India
12:58
@badp this is true, I was talking about regular run of the mill misery
@badp That's always been the case though. Many ancient Greeks couldn't understand Latin
@Nzall not for IT
and, you can argue, not for all sciences
@badp psh, you wish There were tons of non-English people who did IT without knowing English. I'm not saying they were good IT people, but they were IT people
@Nzall I've seen the output of the sort of "IT" that involves code factories in India and I'd hardly call it "IT". More like "bashing rocks together until it compiles"
I mean, look at how much France has pushed back against Anglicifying their language. They translated every single English IT term into a French word. I know, I had to learn 12 pages of them because Belgium required it
13:02
This software development "process" will always produce garbage and I am not concerned with it
@Nzall what good did them do?
@badp see also: many esolangs and golfing languages
@Nzall also not a concern. Those aren't written in any language, really
At least that potakia website appears like the syntax is roughly equivalent to something like C#. I can't even remember what µ does in Go
or how many different things 3 bytes can do in Golfscript
I'm worried that something like that will take off and create its own ecosystem and it will become a real thing, and soon enough we'll need interpreters to reverse engineer source code
I stopped reading PPG because 90% of the solutions were worse than Chinese to me
@badp Something like that won't take off unless the Indian government mandates it
13:05
@Nzall oh god why would you even CONSIDER such a scenario
@badp Because it's something worth considering when deciding what to do
@Nzall With the quality of code that comes out of India, it's not going to be something worth pursuing.
why would a government mandate a programming language
why is that something that would happen STOP
like NO this cannot be a thing HALT RIGHT THERE stop giving people ideas
@badp India doesn't just have English as an official language. the Indian leaders might decide to push back against English influences as well
It's unlikely, but stranger things have happened, ask @fredley
@Nzall stahp
13:08
@badp Are you Indian? or whatever it's called.
no, Italian is not a typo for Indian

Q: I lost my dragon lego thing

AlianoraI've lost my dragon! Sora is purple with dark purple underbelly and spines. How can I find her? Note-Real! she is a toy! Aaaaand I lost her.

@fredley what are your hopes and dreams for tonight
@badp pls
13:21
@fredley what makes you think you will pls tonight
@badp pls
@fredley what is your over/under for a plsant evening
@badp pls
@fredley thank you, back to studio for more anaplsisys from our reporter, @Wipqozn
@badp pls
13:25
@fredley oh is there something you would like to add before we cut the feed
I see @fredley is roleplaying his national cat fursona well. It's good that he can finally find some coherence with his national identity
So Bioware's @Cameron__Lee used Mass Effect #N7Day to promote GOTV. Guess what happened next? (Follow response thre… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/795980171790655488
@badp pls
Oh good now it's about ethics in tweeting. I hate you 2016 for making me hate everyone even more. Bring on the meteor already and end this
@TimStone YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AN OPINION
YOU ARE TOO BIG TO HAVE INDEPENDENT THOUGHT
WHO IS PAYING YOU FOR STEERING SHEEPLE WITH THEIR AGENDA
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING THERE, ABUSING YOUR MOD POWERS TO EMBIGGEN YOUR KILLARY PROPAGANDA
WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU CROOKED TIM STONE: ONE SEXTILLION YEAR DUNGEON
13:35
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
@TimStone So is Cameron Lee a bigshot game dev or something?
former lead at bioware, I believe
@TimStone giant meteor pls
Former lead though, is he currently in any big position?
@Yuuki Not at bioware.
If you go to his twitter it sys his current job. At ArsTechnia is what it said I think.
13:37
No, he still works at Bioware, on new IP
@TimStone I guess I'm just horribly wrong
I blame old people
OOHHH that's the guy who linked it
I'm dumb
Yeah, Sean works at Ars
OMFG LEARN TO INTERNET @Wipqozn
I mean, I can understand people not wanting politics in their everything, but a guy's allowed to have opinions. Particularly on Twitter, which is all about sharing your opinions.
They're specifically angry because he used N7 day as a platform
The holiest of imaginary game holidays, clearly
I didn't even realize N7 day was a thing
I thought he was just making a joke
13:40
@Wipqozn I feel embarrassed for you
I'm just going to assume most of those people still live with their parents, so think imaginary game holidays are SERIOUS BUSINSS
It is the most holy of the secular days.
N7 day is an important event because it means new Mass Effect t-shirts at the Bioware store, duh
But anyway, none of that precludes him from doing whatever the hell he wants on Twitter. Even if the Bioware/Mass Effect account itself had posted it, still okay
People might get upset and say "omg I don't want to do business with you anymore" but so be it
Clinton now surpasses Trump for largest campaign rally. Trump's biggest was 28k in Mobile, AL. HRC had 33k tonight. (h/t @SeniABC)

@Loong That hover text
@KutuluMike yeah, so, who won?
...weird
door wasnt locked
walkijg through house with knife on hand #fun
HORROR DAY 2016
Speaking of Australians
Business
14:12
@KutuluMike I am from the future, and I can tell you that [CENSORED] won the election
So to win the election Trump basically needs to roll a 15 or better on a d20? I don't like this
@Sterno But what if it's a loaded die?
@PrivatePansy the fact that you are from the future means there is a future, so clearly Hillary won.
I'm sure he'll claim it is if it comes up 14 or under
@KutuluMike Checkmate!
house seems smpty, but the door would normally be locked and nobody should be home at this hour
so yeah, I'll keep the knife close #paranoid
14:26
@TimStone Is it still GOTV if it's specifically endorsing one candidate?
I mean, it's not like he pulled a plasma rifle out and put it to their heads to make them vote a particular way so why not?
On the other hand maybe it's voter suppression because now those people will spend all day complaining to him on Twitter instead of going to vote for Trump
I always thought Get Out the Vote was a neutral thing where they just want you go vote, and didn't encourage a specific side. My understanding may have been totally flawed though.
You may be conflating the concept of GOTV with the non-partisan organizations that encourage it
I probably am
@arda Calm down. It was probably someone who forgot to close the door.
@Arperum yeah just did several calls; cousin apparently forgot to pick up his keys therefore couldn't lock the door. Still, I'm keeping the knife close. I'm paranoid.
Well, just don't attack your family when they come home, that never ends well
@Unionhawk real?
I'm guessing not
Prob not
Don't care enough to verify
14:36
@arda Calm down. For real.
@fredley If it is, he would have claimed his twitter back. Because it was taken from him for the final week of the campaign...
So I'd like to go over the news I heard on the radio today. The City of Miami is apparently suing Wells Fargo for discriminatory lending and foreclosure practices. And Wells Fargo's initial response is "there was an economic downturn too so discriminatory practices can't account for everything".
Not "no, we're not racist".
@Arperum ikr
@Yuuki Sounds like a fun place.
14:44
And also: on the one hand, China forbidding elected lawmakers in Hong Kong from taking office is really sketchy and wtf. On the other hand, they actually inserted profanities into their oaths of office.
Like, "People's Republic of CENSORED-ina". At least, that's how I heard it over the radio.
By all means, protest an unjust government. But my god, don't be childish about it.
Oh, hey. It was all John Oliver's fault:
@Sterno Seems like you are watching the same series of youtube as I did yesterday.
I'm actually watching Sunday's Last Week Tonight on HboGo right now
Ok, so not the same.
