@Arperum :(
 
user15026
Help Bridge now my brain is like "here is all the good stuff you forgot to say"
 
@Ash Write it down so it's not in your head anymore
 
Write that down in your copy books now
 
@fredley I paid like half what he paid, including taxes. (There were/are certainly things that need replacing)
 
I wonder if they'd allow taking a tiny checklist of stuff to say in an interview
 
user15026
3:01 PM
@Avery I had a list, on my other monitor
 
user15026
(It was via Skype)
 
ah
 
user15026
but because this was untraditional and was more "tell me about your life" I got all scrambled
 
user15026
(aka there were some things I wanted to make sure I didn't mention (like brain surgery, because that makes people wobble and think things that are incorrect about my abilities)
 
user15026
so I got a little too caught up in that
 
3:03 PM
Happy Playdays from all of us at Ubisoft! Head to Uplay and claim World in Conflict for FREE now!
 
@Arperum Pfff, I'll just by 4 of the- God damnit Brexit
 
@TimStone Heh, surprisingly relevant
 
user15026
@TimStone I don't have to claim World in Conflict, we're already living it....
 
@fredley There we go, now Bojack is a good thing again for you. See, I helped.
 
lol
 
3:04 PM
@TimStone funny joke about how the default state of the world is conflict therefore world in conflict is redundant
 
(World in Conflict's single player campaign has the USSR in its dying days invade the US)
As in, invade with tanks and stuff. That's hidden in shipping containers on the docks of Seattle. Yeah, I know.
I believe you get to blow up the Space Needle at one point
 
@Ash So after you talked about stroopwafel, I got a tin of stroopwafel this morning.
 
user15026
@Yuuki YES STROOPWAFEL
 
user15026
:D
 
user15026
@Unionhawk hey hey hey I already did that :P
 
3:06 PM
How long am I supposed to put it over my tea?
 
@Ash I just wanted to add another reply
 
user15026
@Yuuki Until it gets sorta a little bendy
 
user15026
Basically, you're warming the syrup (stroop) part really
 
user15026
@Unionhawk I can allow this
 
@Ash Do I flip it at any time?
 
user15026
3:09 PM
@Yuuki You can! I usually forget to
 
er
wait
no
why
 
twitter isn't showing me follow buttons
 
@Avery Refresh the page
and see if it changes anything
 
tried that, nothing
oh
it's ublock
but why
 
3:11 PM
@Yuuki \o/
 
Heck yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
 
Also lol tin of stroopwafels
 
@Avery uBlock by default blocks all social buttons
 
user15026
 
user15026
this is how I am used to them coming
 
user15026
3:13 PM
not in a tin
 
Same
(or in a paper thing for direct consumption from the market and not the grocery store)
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden well, I have not been that lucky
 
user15026
WAIT A SECOND HOLD UP
 
(damnit now I want market stroopwafels)
 
user15026
THERE WAS A STROOPWAFEL MCFLURRY
 
user15026
3:14 PM
WHAT THE HECK
 
Was that a thing in not-the-netherlands as well?
 
That is a nice tin though
 
@Nzall first time having any issues
 
Though there's no way a windmill would be higher then the warehouses in a city =p
 
Mmm. Stroopwaffle.
 
It's pretty good. I like that it's not as overly sweet as I expected for a syrup-filled waffle cookie.
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden Maybe it's on a hill and you just can't see the hill (and yes I know that doesn't make sense but shhhhhh)
 
@Ash if it's on a hill then there would have been fortifications on said hill =p
 
3:16 PM
@Unionhawk was waiting for that response from someone, thank you
 
Happy to help
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden Shush
 
3:29 PM
Stroopwafel plus: makes the first sip of tea tolerable.
Normally, the first sip is rather bitter since the first brew is the strongest.
 
Mmmm, stroopwafel
 
user15026
I realize now I didn't actually get any stroopwafels yesterday
 
user15026
now i am sad
 
Hmmm...
 
Wouldn't those be cake carrots, not carrot cake?
 
3:34 PM
Do you guys have these things?
 
@Yuuki Are you really trying to find grammatical sense in a cartoon about ponies?
@KevinvanderVelden What are they called?
 
Amandelstaaf
 
Translation: Almondrod
 
It's a food thing, I don't know if there is an english word
 
3:35 PM
No no, these are waaaaay more sugar
Also like... 4 cm wide and 3 tall? roughly
 
Dammit now I want breadsticks though
This has backfired
 
And filled with almond paste
 
and I blame @Yuuki
 
@KevinvanderVelden Doesn't ring a bell.
 
@Nzall Cartoon about ponies is usually pretty okay with its grammar. It's mainly Pinkie Pie that's... Pinkie Pie
 
3:36 PM
@Arperum whaaaaaaat
I would have figured at least the belgians have this
It is delicious, also 90% sugar
Maybe 95%
 
Any of you got experience with Gradle?
 
@KevinvanderVelden I will request my girlfriend to bring them.
 
I got a copy task that says it has no source and I don't know why
 
You should, they are fairly seasonal though (and now is the correct season)
@Nzall I have ran gradle build or whatever it was before, that's about it
 
user15026
So in my second official act as aunt of baby-yet-to-be (first was buying it a painted turtle stuffed toy for reasons), I am buying me and it matching hats with rainbow dinosaurs on
 
3:39 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Probably seasonal as in: next week out of season. Since Sinterklaas is tomorrow for you crazies.
 
@Arperum yes, it is also silghtly a christmas thing
But I did just get a giant S shaped one from work =p
 
Sinterklaas is wednesday, not tomorrow. You're all wrong.
 
We can at least all agree on it not being today
 
Tomorrow is wednesday
 
This also means that after wednesday my excuse to be a grumbly person about christmas stuff runs out :(
 
3:41 PM
@Arperum It's already advent friend
 
And certainly not yesterday when one of my coworkers had sinterklaas dingen
 
@Unionhawk No.
 
user15026
@Unionhawk No? Today is monday
 
@Unionhawk No.
 
@Ash (I know I just wanted to believe that it wasn't)
 
3:41 PM
NO CHRISTMAS STUFF UNTIL AFTER SINTERKLAAS.
glares
 
@Arperum I HAVE ALREADY SET UP 2 CHRISTMAS TREES D:
 
@KevinvanderVelden HERETIC.
 
Advent is the beginning of the Christmas preparation season
 
@Arperum LIGHTS, SHINY LIGHTS \o/
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden sinterklaas dingen?
 
3:42 PM
(technically Christmas is the beginning of the Christmas season)
 
@KevinvanderVelden STARTING THURSDAY. EARLIER IS WRONG.
 
user15026
I never took my christmas tree down because it is a tiny pretend one so I WAS ALREADY PREPARED FOR CHRISTMAS
 
user15026
(aka I forgot about it)
 
@Ash dingen = things (I assume you knew that but for clarity), giving gifts and such
 
@KevinvanderVelden You saw your coworker yesterday?
 
3:43 PM
@Arperum no, she told us about it at lunch
 
@Ash At our house in college we left it up because really worst case scenario it's a conversation starter (about "why do you still have that up")
 
@Unionhawk the correct answer is "PRETTY LIGHTS \o/"
 
@Unionhawk And what's your response?
 
I mean technically worst case scenario someone knocks it over or something but
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden ah okay that makes sense
 
3:44 PM
@PrivatePansy Christmas isn't just a time of year, it's a state of mind
 
@Unionhawk Laziness is the only acceptable reason to have it up before 7 December
 
Would be my go-to
 
@Unionhawk Uh... huh
 
@KevinvanderVelden Pretty lights can be hung without being in a christmas tree. For example: In my house.
 
Sinterklaas gifting amongst adults can be quite elaborate here, with poems and tasks to do and riddles and having the gifts in special made packaging and such
@Arperum yeah but they can't be hung in a christmas tree without a christmas tree
 
user15026
3:45 PM
@KevinvanderVelden yeah, it always seemed like serious business.
 
Hang on, I have the perfect emoji for this
 
@KevinvanderVelden THEN YOU WAIT UNTIL SINTERKLAAS HAS LEFT THE PLACE.
 
user15026
@Arperum This reminds me I should figure out why my cupcake lights stopped working
 
@Ash one of the reasons my family does gift giving on christmas =p
@Arperum THAT'S NOT UNTIL WEDNESDAY
 
3:46 PM
@KevinvanderVelden THURSDAY, and yes.
 
FRIDAY
 
@Arperum less lights :(
 
5 mins ago, by Arperum
@Unionhawk No.
 
I have been consistently getting one upvote a day on this question for the last week and a half and it's confusing me as to where this attention is coming from.

A: How did Snape find Harry and Hermione in the Forest of Dean?

SteamDepending on how the Patronus charm works, Snape has at least one method of locating Harry. As we have seen in several instances, the Weasley wedding and Harry's return to Hogwarts, the Patronus Charm can be used to deliver messages. In this case, the spirit guardian flies off toward the intended...

 
That reminds me, I need to buy a bunch more lights
Because... reasons
 
I think we can conclude from this discussion that @Unionhawk is wrong.
 
@Yuuki You're sleep sockpupetting
 
I'm just having a productive morning
The snow cam has passed 7"
and is taking up an entire monitor
 
@PrivatePansy oh noes

Q: Does the game auto-selects the tuning profile in NFSU2?

pepoluanIn Need for Speed Underground 2, one can tune the car's characteristics. But upon entering the tuning screen, one needs to choose among several 'profiles', i.e., Circuit, Drag, Drift, StreetX, and URL. My question: Does the game auto-selects which profile to use when entering a race? Or must I f...

 
@Unionhawk I feel like a psychic in that most of my worth comes from complete BS.

You sit on a throne of lies
 
comments FIRST
 
It's a bit late for "Fuck Skyrim", Jim. The game's been out for more than five years. I thought you were supposed to be a groundbreaking journalist type?
 
Lol, this was the guy with the Birmingham house
 
TIL for a period of time the US defended itself against incoming nuclear missile by launching nuclear missiles at them
The Sprint was a two-stage, solid-fuel anti-ballistic missile (ABM), armed with a W66 enhanced radiation thermonuclear warhead. It was designed to intercept incoming reentry vehicles (RV) after they had descended below about 60 kilometres (37 mi) altitude, where the thickening air stripped away any decoys or radar reflectors and exposed the RV to observation by the radar. As the RV would be travelling at about 5 miles (8.0 km) per second, Sprint had to have phenomenal performance to perform an interception in the few seconds before the RV reached its target. Sprint accelerated at 100 g, reaching...
 
4:22 PM
> below about 60 km (37 mi) in altitude
ummm
 
@PrivatePansy that's not even the most insane nuclear weapon ever designed
 
@MadScientist I know about the nuclear artillery
 
@PrivatePansy missiles are tiny and easy to miss, causing a giant explosion to damage them doesn't seem unreasonable
 
@KevinvanderVelden That's basically how most anti-air stuff works.
 
I like the fact that the efficacy of detonating a huge explosion was next to useless following the advent of MIRVs but we have people today who think we can shoot down North Korea's missiles
 
4:29 PM
We just need to send Seal Team 69 in to steal all of them
 
@TimStone I doubt north korea has MIRV capabillity
 
@KevinvanderVelden If I understand it correctly, it's even more clever than that. Sprint was a neutron bomb, and the neutron flow interferes with other nuclear warheads.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I don't think it's that complicated if you don't particularly care about targeting; their latest ICBM is certainly capable of delivering one at least
 
@TimStone you probably need more advanced warheads to get them small enough for MIRV
 
Yeah, but we don't have a good grasp of where they are with that (for obvious reasons)
 
4:37 PM
Also wait this isn't This Is Fine
 
Hahah cleansing thermonuclear fire does not discriminate
But also yes
 
Your face isn't fine
 
blame @PrivatePansy
 
I blame @Unionhawk

Q: Terraria maximum mana achievable

Amitai NachmanyI'm currently doing an Expert mode mage playthrough and I was wondering what the maximum possible mana achievable (on vanilla) is. What items should I use? What armor?

Q: How does Google's Bunny Hopping Doodle Calculate Solution Length?

phflackToday's doodle is about bunnies hopping on tiles, and writing code to get the bunny to every tile I've done some testing on level 3 and found that loops, movement, and turning all count as 1 for solution length (loop, move, move, turn -> solution length 4) Using that knowledge I went on to s...

Okay so I know Christian fiction is a huge industry and all but like...sometimes the book blurbs just kill me. Like this one: "Bible school student Jane cleans houses to make ends meet. She’s getting by just fine — until she finds one of her customers murdered in his bed… A cozy Christian mystery!"

Q: Where are the green pumpkins located?

Steven VascellaroIn an earlier question I mentioned that OK Golf's 1.70 update added green pumpkins hidden throughout the game. According to the developer, smashing all 50 pumpkins before the next course is released will unlock a 3rd secret hole for Hallows Creek. Where are the green pumpkins hidden in OK Golf? ...

Q: Do out of party members gain any XP?

SeiyriaSpecifically, in Chapter 7: So, when that member is out of the party, do they still get XP like a normal party member (since out of party members do get XP on discovering new locations).

 
user15026
Like I suspect a "cozy" mystery is a genre marker, but still
 
@Ash wat
 
user15026
@TimStone I love Christian fiction because it can be a little bit whackadoodle in how it shoehorns good Christian values and all this messaging about God's love into stuff
 
Yeah, I was wondering how even x)
 
5:47 PM
@Ash Hahaha
 
> And then Jane called the police and left the rest to the detectives, who were much more knowledgeable in the field of homicide investigation than a pre-teen Bible school student. The end.
 
@Yuuki hue, rekt
@Ash wait i thought bible school was were they put the kids while the adults were in church. is it something else? like a college analogue?
 
@GodEmperorDune Do you not recall the Boxcar Kids? They were all like elementary/middle school age and they still solved murder mysteries.
 
@Yuuki no i get the murder mystery solving (although iirc the boxcar kids had no parental supervision), i'm wondering why she cleans houses to make ends meet
 
6:06 PM
I am now a proud ower of A Cozy Christian Mystery Book.
 
@GodEmperorDune Hmm... poor orphan kid is more endearing by nature?
So readers are more accepting of her interfering with a police investigation?
 
what
 
fam please let us know why she needs to clean houses to make ends meet
 
I can access my kindle's serial number from the internets?
 
Now I'm imagining a children's murder mystery that deals with the issue of jurisdiction.
 
6:08 PM
this is amazing
 
did the social safety net let her down?
@Yuuki ahahahaha
the bully that comes in and takes over the investigation
 
Childrens murder mystery? What?
 
@GodEmperorDune Like there's multiple independently-minded kids that have way less parental supervision than they should investigating felony murders.
 
"it was within 3 blocks of the park, that's my territory!"

@GodEmperorDune "Don't make me take this up with Internal Affairs, Jimmy "Two Shoes"!"
 
now i just need to break drm
oh
it's drm free
 
@Avery quick work, fam
 
Like, I'm imagining this book written by a guy who only writes adult crime/procedural fiction and his editor's convinced him to branch out to children's mystery, but he's absolutely clueless about it and basically writes his normal stuff only hot-swapping his normal characters with elementary school kids.

I can access my kindle's serial number from the internets?
with this information
de-drming amazon books is much easier now
 
6:19 PM
@Yuuki this book must exist somewhere
 
it even breaks azw3!!
(compared to before where I had to get kindle app running [which is hell on wine then had to login [which is also hell] and had to download files somewhere and then install python to wine [python on windows is already hell, imagine the hells on wine] and then run script from wine python [and you need to use wine's cmd implementation for that] then copy the extracted key to calibre to get it working, just being able to click "Download & transfer via USB" and just drag and drop the file and have it work is just 10/10)
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune likely referring to some sort of religious college likely with a focus on evangelism or mission work
 
@Ash ohhhhhh
well @Yuuki and i are too far into the weeds of children investigating murders to stop now

I've heard Capital is a beast to attempt
What the heck did you purchase to trigger that though? The manifesto?
 
6:33 PM
yup
 
That would in fact do it
 
I mean I buy a notable amount of books on amazon
AND FOR SOME REASON I KEEP HITTING B INSTEAD OF K
I mean
not ash-level notable
 
@Avery Hue
 
but like, I've like...
I buy one once per month or smth?
and I bought like 2-3 books since manifesto
 
6:35 PM
I feel like $1 for any of those things is probably a rip-off especially for marxist literature

I'd rather download them off gutenberg anyways

Q: What is the purpose of the Immortal trait for custom rulers?

TotallyN0tABotIn Europa Universalis 4, one of the options for creating a custom nation with 800 points is to make your current ruler immortal. Yet, in order to do so you must start off with a one province nation with non-western technology, abysmal development values along with the weakest set of national idea...

Guys I learned a new trick
Don't ask the girl where she wants to eat ask her to guess where you're taking her to eat
Then go to the first guess
 
*annoyed* "Olive Garden again?"
 
Haha
Luckily we don't have that here
 
I mean idk, I feel like that could backfire if she does make a low-tier guess
Overall not an awful idea

From the guy who wrote The Martian.
 
lol
Yeah <place that requires a reservation> is also a backfire
unless like there's a reservation availible and you inconspicuously opentable it
which Google makes easier which is nice
@Yuuki Yep
 
8:47 PM
Then you just go to the second guess
 
@cazc_941 The type of person who would first-guess an incredibly exclusive restaurant is the type of person who would continually guess similar restaurants.
 
You could potentially use that guess as a basis for a sort of restaurant if you think quickly enough
"No, I'm not on the list BUT! Uhhhhh"
