"Britain says Fox bid for Sky risks giving Murdoch too much power" - reuters.com/article/us-sky-m-a-fox-idUSKBN19K1D9

People really need to stop watching fox news

@Wipqozn I saw a picture of a newsstand that just had a sign that says "WE DO NOT SELL THE SUN HERE"

user15026

@Yuuki this is me

Except Sky and Sun are 2 different words so these things are only tangentially related through Fox

Look it's 3:30 on thursday my brain is currently operating at 27% capacity

7:32 PM

@Unionhawk the smaller the commits you make the less pain while merging

why do you think I have 13 commits

We'll be merging an entire branch at the end of it and I think TFS merge looks at file diff not individual changesets

But idk actually

you have already lost

Yeah

yes

I think most of my companies problems could be solved if we made it so that trains cannot be physically stopped by any means.

Including breaks?

7:38 PM

@MadMAxJr what if you just made it impossible for trains to move

hell, let's reach a compromise

No it will still respond to controls, it just needs to no longer be impacted by external forces.

no acceleration

moving trains move. stationary trains station.

Throw the switch, flip on the 'I Like Trains' song from youtube, go to destination.

Problem on the track? Train don't care, keeps going.

Vehicle on the track? More like metallic fragment rain.

ToxicFrog

@Unionhawk I'm so sorry

yeah

7:40 PM

Maybe trains should just perform space folding to arrive at the destination.

@MadMAxJr train derails, goes in the air before going down? Not a problem, it'll come out the other side

The train is now an unstoppable metal land worm of destruction.

@KevinvanderVelden There's a reason why those judges wear shinguards.

So we gotta throw a ramp down somewhere, hotwheels style.

This is way more awesome than Snowpiercer.

We're going with the much smaller changeset that will be simple to merge for now until they tell us that they don't like how it looks

Which I'm predicting will happen so shelveset

@MadMAxJr my ps4 controller worked perfectly with Pi with a usb cable

no hoops whatsoever

Sterno

Your 2nd point is valid, but as to your first, a USB controller is certainly cheaper than the mini

it even worked through BT, but for some reason was somewhat laggy

@Lazers2.0 My guess is you can't. Not sure what the feature parity is right now.

@MBraedley well one is cool and has mods and the other is well programmed

So there's very little feature parity

@KevinvanderVelden Well, more specifically WRT the features that are required for a solution to the problem.

"well programmed" is the only feature of the win 10 edition

@MBraedley Sssh, I wanted to be snarky

I care not about your context

Authorization for Use of Military Force (against Terrorists)

8:40 PM

Symmetrical gigabit internet

Basically Congress's way of declaring eternal war without actually declaring war.

i.e. the "President can go to war as long as it's against terrorists!" law

@MadMAxJr Oh, you are in the future. I only have 150 down, 50 up (although faster down speeds are available).

@TimStone wait why would the republicans do that when Trump is in charge?

are they actually worried he's going to fuck something up?

I mean to be fair they've yelled at him for fucking things up

8:42 PM

Because while the ability for Presidents to blow up non-us is great* conceptually, the perpetual state of war in the Middle East is bad for military families

It's bad for the world maybe

@TimStone no i get why it is good for everyone except politicians

(*not actually great in any way)

but this house is not prone to humanitarian moves

I mean it's passed comittee apparently

as far as I can tell

I don't know

8:44 PM

@GodEmperorDune Yeah but it's hard to cast military families in a bad light

Paul Ryan will probably just have an intern sit there erasing the printed text with an eraser to get rid of it

or something

@TimStone they still haven't fixed the VA

"Whiners, complaining about being in war for the last decade+"

@GodEmperorDune AFAIK that's actually receiving attention at the moment even if it's not Fixed

and Trump is saber rattling North Korea, Iran, and all of NATO

@TimStone that's good

@GodEmperorDune This House is not prone to human moves period.

8:45 PM

Follow @LeoShane for VA-related news

But as mentioned it only cleared committee, it'll likely get GOP-stomped on the floor

OUR PRESIDENT NEEDS TO BE AUTHORIZED TO USE MILITARY FORCE TO KILL ALL TERRORISTS THEDEMOCRATS SUPPORT TERRORISM NOW

@TimStone Well, according to Fox News, we're all going to die anyways so why should we care about sending soldiers to die all over the world? /s

probably

TRUMP SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GLASS MIDDLE EAST NOW FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

Good. You had me worried I had to superheat the desert or something.

@TimStone this is like that one on nucleartakes: "Keep your doctor never happened" "Ok, but like, people will die?" "Have you considered that life isn't fair?"

@GodEmperorDune It was about the Republican healthcare bill and how we shouldn't care how bad it is because we're all going to die anyways.

(relevant clickhole)

@MadMAxJr yup

we need bigger glasses though

to fit into trump's bigly hand

8:50 PM

Trump will make a deal for the Shinigami eyes, but instead it shows the dollar values for people, not their remaining lifespan.

Sigh

wall hacks in cod

got videos now tho lol

When you're aiming perfectly, at someone who's just spawned in, behind a wall, and hasn't moved

so you hit them the moment they come out from behind it... it's a bit hard to justify

@djsmiley2k so are they shooting though the wall?

no

they follow people, as if they can see them, perfectly

until they come into sight, and immediately kill them

which is fine, if you saw someone walk behind said object

but when that persons just spawned there

how do you explain it..... and then it happens multiple times

@djsmiley2k are the spawn points random or set?

if they're set then 1) does the set spawn point get determined by where you died and 2) can this be predicted by a human

@Memor-X random

and no generally not predictable

@djsmiley2k yep, probably a hack then

11:35 PM

the only predictable way is if you have someone covering every spawn point, can see people spawning, and immediately shoot them

the vid will be up tomoz

yup

the spawns are based off a number of things

but this didn't just happen at spawn time

i saw him get me, when i was behind walls not moving, UAV wasn't active, etc

There was no way tro know where i was. yet he was targetting me, through the wall, perfectly

anyway I'm off to bed, cod is dead for now, sigh

it just that sometimes what seems like someone cheating or hacking is actually them having been so obsessive they have pulled apart everything about the game

oh yah I know that

but this wasn't that

you don't follow someones head, perfectly, from behind a wall, jumping, crouching and all
