@GodEmperorDune isn't he the guy who rants on about how the white house is controlled by lizard men?
 
@Memor-X that's an oversimplification. he also talks about how the water is turning frogs gay and chemtrails are making us all stupid
and we can't forget the half human fish
 
@GodEmperorDune didn't hear about that last one....though it would explain a hell of a lot
 
@Unionhawk the music does it
 
12:12 AM
@Unionhawk POP, POP-POP!
oh man he's talking shit about my boy adam schiff
homophobic slurs too :/
 
General content warning for above: Alex Jones
 
@TimStone thats not a scoop, i heard about it a few days ago
 
MINOR DETAILS
 
is it past margin of error yet?
 
12:15 AM
I'm not sure, but making the wider GOP feel unsafe is one way to provoke them
 
yeah, even jason "soon-to-be-out-of-the-house" chaffetz is gonna do some subpoenaing
 
He's got a dedicated pen!
 
i mean we'll see if it goes beyond talk and into actions
 
@TimStone why? like how would this polling stuff affect them now?
 
Which I 100% believe is literally physically a thing
 
12:18 AM
@Memor-X because congress in general and house leadership in particular is deathly afraid of losing power
and the fear of getting booted out for being cozy to trump would scare them into action before 2018
 
Right
 
@GodEmperorDune oh i see
i generally think politicians don't give a shite about polls until it's closer to an election
because polls != likelihood of an armed civil rebellion
 
@Memor-X the problem with polls is that they are a trailing indicator
so polls too close to an election means there is no time for you to correct things
 
Yeah, and you don't want to wait until the whole house is on fire to try and put out the flames
Much more effort, and who has time for that?
 
the safer thing for republicans to do is dump trump and put pence in
they just liked how malleable he was, perhaps not understanding how that cuts both ways
 
12:23 AM
Pence was frown upon for his views on lgbt rights but trump hasn't exactly proven to be a saint too
 
@Avery pence is fucking awful on LGBT
but trump is awful on most things too
 
On the plus side I assume he'll have to get rid of DeVos since he can't be in a room alone with her
 
@GodEmperorDune in Australia there's generally a worse backlash when a party dumps the current leader who is also the leader of the country and replaced them with someone else
 
i also think the republicans in congress figured that trump would be a lightning rod, distracting everyone from all the nefarious legislation they wanted passed. They didn't count on Trump's scandals disrupting their legislation so much
@Memor-X how often has that happened?
 
@GodEmperorDune In Australia? like 3 times in the past 5 years i think
 
12:27 AM
It helps that Trump isn't technically a party leader
'MURICA

Q: How do you auto equip mods in warframe?

SpencerNow that I'm level 2 I need to know how to auto equip mods till I figure out how they work. (Xbox1) or even equip mods in the first place.

 
@TimStone you think pence would replace the cabinet of billionaires with a cabinet of ultra devout christians?
 
Gillard knifed Rudd while he was prime minister. Rudd knifed Gillard while he was prime minister and Turnbull knifed Abbott while he was prime minister. we're expecting Abbott to knife Turnbull back because he's doing more or less what Rudd did on the back bench
 
@GodEmperorDune Nah, I doubt he'd stir the pot too much. I don't think he's very likable either, but I'd say the same thing about Trump...Still though, he's a lot drier, so voters would probably just be less enthusiastic by virtue of the lack of energy
 
@TimStone wasn't there an internal party election to choose him for presidential candidate?
 
12:31 AM
@TimStone the horses love him
 
lol
 
it does something to the inside of a man
 
@Memor-X Ehhh there were elections in states by voters who are more often than not registered as a Republican to give him votes to be the party's presidential candidate
I don't think that anyone would necessarily describe him as "guiding" the party though
 
technically the president is head of their party though
 
Is there anything that really establishes that?
Like obviously the person for the party who doesn't win the presidential election isn't the party leader as would still (potentially) be the case in a parliamentary system
McCain just said at a dinner honoring him that the Trump scandals have reached a "Watergate size and scale" -- wow
I mean, McCain, but also sips tea
 
12:36 AM
@TimStone quick googling can't find a source, it's just something i've heard analysts say for a few presidential cycles
 
What's a watergate
and why do americans love gates this much
bendgate pizzagate watergate gamergate *head blown*(gate)
 
@Avery watergate is the original scandal that caused all future american scandals to have "gate" in them
 
@GodEmperorDune I mean the president definitely sets the tone for policy, so in that sense they act as defacto leadership, but senior congressional folk are probably more entrenched in that sense
 
Ooooh
 
Then we got Benghazi to mix things up!
 
12:39 AM
@Avery tl:dr; president richard nixon had his people break into the watergate hotel to spy on what the opposition party was planning
they got caught
 
Oh right
 
I want to say grabbing popcorn and watching the Trump meltdown is entertaining, but I can't help but feel bad for you who have to live with this idiot.
 
That's a thing now
 
and the investigation of that took the nixon administration down
 
@Avery i get wikipedia but not google
wait it's back
 
12:40 AM
like the vice president resigning for tax fraud
 
@Memor-X use duckduckgo
 
It's pretty crazy to think that Nixon waited until he was running for reelection to mess things up and meanwhile it's only May
 
@TimStone hence that "trump is attempting the impeachment speedrunning record"
 
also wiki was blocked in turkey like 2.5 weeks ago
 
@Avery it took down a Chaotic Evil President
 
12:42 AM
@Memor-X no way andrew jackson was neutral
or even that bush was on the evil side
or that FDR greenlit developing the atomic bomb and truman gets shit for using it
 
@Memor-X oh
 
@GodEmperorDune evil aliment isn't always bad, i think the Pope is Lawful Evil
 
@Memor-X i suppose it depends on which d20 system or dnd edition you're using
 
Yeah I don't think we should be calling the leader of a huge religion "evil", even if it's a joke, because it's just going to lead to drama @Memor-X. There's quite a few religious folks in chat who wouldn't appreciate it.
 
no one is as evil as @Wipqozn
2
 
12:45 AM
@GodEmperorDune I'm fine with this
 
@Wipqozn i figured
 
@Wipqozn fair enough
@GodEmperorDune i thought alignments remained consistent between editions?
 
VERY weird that a person whose career was spent as a prosecuting attorney would memorialize important conversations. https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/864627834458824704
🐶☕
 
@Memor-X kinda sorta, not really
iirc, alignment really early on was just good to bad
eventually you got the law/chaos axis added too
now it's much less of "evil runs around stabbing people and cackling madly"
good/evil is almost an altruistic/selfish axis now
5e is much more of a "just RP it and don't worry about it" kinda attitude
 
Good is a point of view
 
12:58 AM
especially in 3.5, not sticking to your deity's alignment could mess all kinds of things up, but only for certain classes. Like paladins doing one evil thing and all their abilities disappeared
clerics i think lost the ability to do domain spells if they strayed too far
almost everyone else... nothing
 
Actually now that @Wipqozn is here maybe we can answer an import question
Does McConnell retain control of the Senate if he fully retreats into his shell?
 
@TimStone, yes, he truely is the worst
 
import Wipqozn
 
This is a weird intersection of Congressional rules and turtles
 
@Unionhawk syntax error: y u do dis
 
1:00 AM
@WIPQOZN IS THE WORST: DATA ACCEPTED
 
RIP @orgyrambo
 
@TimStone McConnell gains 2000 DEF and his battle position cannot be changed by opponent effects
Comey's notes are very good. https://t.co/8JrYwMU5Jc

yes, because that's the warning sign that this is a set up
 
1:17 AM
@Memor-X years ago, they caught people stealing cable by playing a commercial that indicated they won a free tv and had to mail in their info
 
1:27 AM
@GodEmperorDune is there generally commercials on paid cable tv?
 
.@FoxNews reporting on the air now that they can't get a Republican member on the air right now to defend Trump
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
 
@Memor-X yes
> natesilver: FWIW, the Senate can also vote to bar someone from holding office in the future if they’re impeached. The baller move for Trump is if he resigned under threat of impeachment in 2019, and then ran for the GOP nomination in 2020 anyway.
hue
 
Bet you'd wish you had superdelegates then lol
Even though superdelegates have literally never flipped the outcome
But shhhh
 
@GodEmperorDune well an ad on tv telling me that i won a tv is suss already since i know it's saying the exact same thing to thousands of other people. but still that's more or less like this
 
@Memor-X meh, it worked well enough
 
1:39 AM
@TimStone probably maybe

Q: What is the fastest way to get the S.A.M. each day?

CybersonWhat is the fastest (aka, least amount of time spent) method to get the S.A.M. when it refreshes use?

 
@Ash there is no way those ramps cost all in more than 0.1m
And that's a conservative "designed tested and built a dozen of them" number
Using NPS budget for that is totally great
 
user15026
 
> Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever
I think that is sarcastic
 
2:08 AM
All of those are things that you'd do ironical
 
Welp, busted a few bits, but I've got some finished products.
 
anyone know if there's a difference between getting a game (factorio) on steam by purchasing it from the store vs redeeming a key for it?
 
 
@Aequitas Steam key? I don't think so
 
@Aequitas There's going to be difference in terms of where your money goes
 
2:09 AM
Had to drill out a peg and pull it out. That was fun.
 
But in any practical sense to you as a consumer, no I don't think so
 
@PrivatePansy yeah, I heard that steam will take a cut, which is why i'd prefer to buy it from the game's website directly. But I just wanted to know if I get the same stuff.
thanks
 
@Unionhawk There are a few where it's obvious the writer doesn't actually understand what an analogy is
 
@Ash these are great
@Aequitas factorio devs posted recently about the few authorized places to buy it
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Number 4 is my fave
 
2:12 AM
steam, humble store, and their website i think
@Ash i like 11
 
I should buy factorio
Ok Google remind me to do that thing I said
 
The new Harvest Moon game is coming to PC, apparently.
Remember, kids: Harvest Moon isn't actually Harvest Moon anymore.
 
@Frank isn't it called stardew valley
 
@Unionhawk Nah, that's indie.
This one is Natsume.
 
2:17 AM
@Unionhawk you should, it's addictive and great
 
@GodEmperorDune I'm really interested in the Factorissimo mod
 
@Unionhawk i don't play with mods
but i'm cheevo farming shadow of mordor before stomping it
 
I still need several original shadow achievements
 
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, they're all fairly easy save a few obnoxious ones and then two that are lolimpossible
 
@TimStone which ones are impossible?
 
2:20 AM
@TimStone the 25 rune is one I'm missing
 
@GodEmperorDune The two Tests ones, because you have to beat the hardest criteria
 
@Unionhawk yeah i have that one all spooled up
@TimStone ah i haven't done that area yet
 
Have fun with your legendary runes
 
Like you can do it but they're time and RNG based so I noped the hell out
 
@TimStone i thought test was an infinite area
 
2:22 AM
There's different ones, the two for the cheevos have time-based objectives
The Test of the Ring has to be beaten in 40 minutes I think
 
well i guess i'll see how annoyed i get
@Unionhawk i backed up my save beforehand, hopefully i can save scum it
 
10 caps with monsters and 40 minutes is oh god
 
@TimStone i gotta go through DLC first then
do you know if you can return to the campaign area after finishing the storyline?
@Unionhawk oh shit yeah
RNGesus take the wheel
 
I think the process I'd go through would be "try headshot try stealth then hope combat finisher does it"
That doesn't account for "needs fire" but that's usually not the case for 1st evolution captains
 
2:32 AM
@Unionhawk except for the monster ones
 
It also doesn't account for the 10 beast kills which "hate of caragors" and "monster Slayer" could fuck up
 
caragor? graug, bro
 
Unless there's a graug handy yes
 
but monster slayer would fuck that up too
 
Does him eating captains count as a beast finisher for the purposes of "needs to be vulnerable" I haven't​ made it to that half this playthrough

b10hazardThere are a few crew abilities that I want to upgrade. They are called Number of experienced gunners Fire Accuracy Fire Precision These skills would only be good for bombers, right? I'm guessing they would be useless for fighters because there is only one gunner in a fighter and it is not con...

 
@Aequitas i think if you review it it'll note that you got it as a key and thus you're review score wont count to the total
a system to stop those "give high review for free keys" morons
 
In other, more important news
@waypoint I love you waypoint the hedgehog https://t.co/49hWOarcpE
 
this site has a walkthrough and says its not as bad as it sounds
 
Oh right having a brand army helps
I also am not there yet this playthrough
 
2:42 AM
@GodEmperorDune Hmm?
 
@TimStone like i have 1 story mission left, after i beat that can i return to the open world area to clean up cheevos?
 
Oh, yeah
 
ok cool
i kinda fuct up the 2nd area, everyone is branded and nothing happens anymore
 
@TimStone Or at least I think so? I forget in regard to the main game, tbh. DLCs yes
 
@TimStone i guess i'll do DLCs first to get all those cheevos and make sure i don't forget any
 
2:45 AM
@GodEmperorDune just kill em and let time pass
 
Most of the DLC's achievements can be completed as part of storyline missions, as a FYI
 
Burn it to the ground and start over
 
@TimStone i figured
 
In particular Ghûls Gone Wild is really easy to get in Lord of the Hunt during a storyline mission but I messed up and didn't get it and now it's a super pain |:
 
@Unionhawk i thought you took branded warchiefs and bodyguards with you to the final battle
 
2:46 AM
You do but you can get them back
So yeah prob do that first then kill them all
 
Because "dismiss" is the coolest skill
 
i'll be more selective when rebuilding my army next time, get a better balance of units and bodyguards
plus make sure dudes are 20 before becoming warchief
also where are the lady uruks?
 
user15026
psh no such thing that would be silly
 
@Ash @ash the cyborg would be a pretty badass warchief, not gonna lie
 
user15026
2:53 AM
No arguments here!
 
actually, maybe uruks don't have gender as a construct
so all uruks are they
"dammit, foolish mortals", etc
 
@GodEmperorDune I don't think they do considering they're created in a vat or whatever
 
@GodEmperorDune Are there female orcs in Lord of the Rings (WARNING: quora link)
though Uruk-Hais are speculated to be cross bread between Orcs and humans
though i want to side that orc/human cross breeding is caused by Lilith/Lilim styled orcs

@TimStone it's evolution. because they live up in mountains they develop an immunity to physics and/or gravity

@GodEmperorDune what do you mean?
 
@Ash my twitter is full of angry political snark and outrage and you have ducks and goats
 
@GodEmperorDune Incidentally! There is a crossover on this one

There is always space for adorable things. Even among the snark and outrage.
 
user15026
4:19 AM
@TimStone also this!
 
@TimStone yes i saw the duck outrage
 
Good, good
 
@GodEmperorDune that's because you want angry political snark and outrage. Twitter isn't like google/facebook ads or youtube/ebay suggestions who just see what you are currently doing and assume you love that and suggest more
 
@Memor-X fair point
i also delved into weird twitter and it is dark but hilarious

@Avery you're not allowed to leave before others are done?
 
@Chippies no. Never was.
 
@Avery do you have any lessons that day as well or is it just final exams?
when I think of exams, I'm thinking of the exams you do on your last year of school (or sometimes there's some others a year or two before last)
 
@Chippies i do have additional lessons that day
 
when we had exams, there was usually one or two exams in a day and no lessons for us, so once you're done, you can leave (although once someone leaves, no one else is allowed to leave the classroom until they're done, so no pee breaks or anything, which is why people hate when someone leaves early)
 
10:45 AM
We don't have a concept of finals. At least outside uni.
 
@Avery so when you graduate, you still get some sort of evaluation of your skills in a form of some kind of mark, right? How is that calculated?
 
We have exams spread across the semester
each taking 40mins
lessons do happen that day. It's weird.
i'd prefer it if i could just finish all exams in a day or two

@GodEmperorDune @fredley @TimStone: Any suggestions for a Front End JS Framework for use with multipage apps? aka a website.
