@GodEmperorDune giggles yeah something like that
@James argh, good inb4
Hehe :D
Imma wait for the iPhone X in any case ;)
Oh god squashfs is throwing errors
My ram might be dying
Perfect timing
00:15
@Avery that is bad
Sigh if I buy one now it'll arrive on monday so extra sigh
As always restart fixes the issues
@Avery in xbox user's voice it will only make it worse!

Q: MCPE: /give command error

PixelatedMikeI found out that on the MCPE 1.2 update, Mojang added components to commands. But when I try to enter /give @p diamond_sword 1 0 { display: { Name: "Sword of Ethania", Lore: [ "Legendary", "The Guardian Sword that defends Ethania" ] }, ench: [ { id: 16, ...

Oh my God! Unity froze!
01:32
Happens a lot
Save often
Also I thimk that I identified the problem with setup so yay
@GodEmperorDune have you read the Martian?
@Wipqozn nope
@GodEmperorDune it's fantastic. Read it. There's your 1 book sir. You're welcome.
@Wipqozn there's so much text in west of loathing that I'll probably count it as my book for the year
01:47
@GodEmperorDune oh right I need to play that
How long is that game anyways?
Yessss it's working
Apparently wifi only setup is borked
:/ I'm closer to BSA high adventure weight limit than I'd like to be
(Max for my height is 201, I've been hovering around 192)
@Wipqozn you can race through the main storyline in a few hours, doing all the obvious quests takes maybe 20 hours total, but you can go longer because there is a lot of hidden stuff
I think speed run record is under 10 min?

Q: Unlink Square Enix ID from PSN account

RaversI want to try Final Fantasy XIV Online before buying it. So I downloaded the FFXIV free trial available on the PS Store for my PS4. When I installed and tried to play the game, I linked my PSN account to the wrong Square Enix ID. Now I can't seem to to unlink them to link again with the correct ...

@Avery yeah, done did it 4 times. Now I am writing a story for my game!

Q: Why dragons can't use other shouts?

EthanWhy dragons in Elder Scrolls Skyrim only use Fire Breath or Frost Breath, for instance? The further I went into the game was level 35 and every dragon I encountered only used one of those shouts. Why they can't use Slow Time, or Unrelenthing Force? That will make battles more challenging.

Did you guys know those - Topic channels on YouTube are auto generated by YouTube itself?

03:11
Dear past me, your decision to delete all of the Heather Dale music you owned when you were sad at some point over your common law relationship dissolving was stupid because now you have to pay to get it all again, because she's not using the same store system she was, so you no longer have an account with your purchases.
user15026
Past me was duuuuuuumb.
torrent it
user15026
I'd be surprised if I could find much of her stuff that way, but then again this is the internet after all
yeah fair enough, sites have been dropping like flies
user15026
and she's like a smaller artist too
03:24
$10 a pop on bandcamp, yeah that will get expensive
(buy on bandcamp if you want her to get the most out of it)
user15026
Yeah, that was the plan
user15026
I figure I will just slowly get it again over time
user15026
but I am just like "self you were dumb"
Self is dumb a lot
in my experience
user15026
true true
03:38
Huh. I got another email from an Amazon recruiter.
This time, they want to fly me out to Seattle.
for what?
Recruiting a job.
to hire you?
Well, to interview.
> Specifically, the Treasure Truck and Customer Relationship teams are looking for Software Engineers and Senior Software Engineers to help solve some unique problems for customers worldwide.
Ew, Customer Relationship.
user15026
I'm sorry but wtf Trerasure Truck
03:42
> What is Treasure Truck?
At Treasure Truck, we hand-pick our favorite new, trending, local, or delicious items, load them on the Truck, then cruise around town spreading joy for everyone with a smartphone and an appetite for fun.

Every time you swing by the Truck, you’ll find something new to enjoy, like games, giveaways, tasty treats, and other surprises.
Okay, it seems to be like a mobile store for Amazon.
That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard
user15026
ah, I see. I guess the name makes sense but it sounds weird
@Unionhawk November 20, 2016.
Also there thing about the Treasure Truck is that it somehow has really rare, random stuff
Like at one stop they sold a secret cache of like 100 NES Classics
This was a few months ago
And at another stop they sold a bunch of steak
user15026
"some how has" it's Amazon, I suspect the answer is "we are Amazon we can do aaaaanything"
03:46
It's just weird they kept them back because there was such a gold rush for those things for months before
@RedRiderX what cut?
(the steak)
@quartata Not sure
oh it was just for bad pun purposes
Also they sold pumpkins out of this truck in October
sounds like @Yuuki will fit right in
03:48
Basically after reading about it I think I'm more confused than @ash is.
It feels like the most misguided viral marketing ever.
My question is what kind of programming I'd be doing for the Treasure Truck or Customer Relationship.
maybe POS
@Yuuki There is an app component to signing up for notifications and maybe reserving things?
Looking at the FAQ, yeah.
03:50
Hmm, I dunno.
I got real deep down the hole the other day
And I still don't know why the heck they do this.
I'm not sure how much I want to work for Amazon.
One day during winter they just gave out free ice cream?
I can't make this stuff up
user15026
this seems like the most hipster-y "marketing" thing ever
And relocation always makes me worried that I won't cut it and now I'm stuck in a random place with no job.
And an apartment that I have to pay for.
03:53
keep in mind that unless you do something egregious, a company like that will almost definitely not fire you within a short time after you're hired
It costs money to fly you out, interview you, relocate you, do training, etc. If you're underperforming, it's in their interest to help you improve your performance for a while instead of just firing you
I'm honestly a little surprised that they're offering to fly me out for an interview. I mean, I don't think my grades were that fantastic in college and I have nothing on Github...
There's just not a lot to show that I'm actually good at programming.
Is there an Amazon office near you?
I'm in Houston so the closest office is probably in Austin.
Plus, the email specifically asks whether I'd be comfortable with relocating to Seattle.
Maybe they don't do interviews in Austin. Maybe they want to interview in the job's location.
The thing is that stuff like airfare and hotel costs actually aren't that much compared to the cost of an employee, so for a company with a ton of money that wants the top employees it can actually be economical to pay for that stuff just to interview people
Yeah, that makes sense. But my question is why do they think I could be a top employee?
I don't think I have anything in my history that would suggest such a thing.
Unless they've been talking to my bosses or something.
04:05
I'm just convinced recruiters are just magical wizards tbh
urgh whenever my girlfriend smokes she gets really hard to talk to
I basically just hung up on her on discord cause she was snapping at me and losing track of conversations... probably shouldn't have
user15026
04:34
Hm, to watch more MASH, or read more of the ridiculous King of Code book...
@Yuuki maybe they really like your work on movie night
or the puns
@GodEmperorDune Judging by their Treasure Truck stuff, this might be well within the realm of possibility.

Q: What game is displayed in this photo with a character giving me a 'squeezie'?

AveryI was on a discord and someone posted this (and asking them what game it is didn't result in an answer, neither did google reverse image search), and I wonder what game it's from: Looking at the screen edge and screen res, I believe that it's a game for Nintendo 3DS, though I can't seem to fin...

Every time you do the Duolingo thing there is this moment where your blood freezes
I finally got to this point for the first time with Dutch
Phrasal verbs are the bane of English learners and in Dutch every verb with a proposition in it can become a phrasal verb
Apparently
Creating some wonderful preposition cluster bombs
Not only the preposition gets split off it also goes as far as possible from the verb
Where the regular prepositions go
Except afterwards
@KevinvanderVelden you are a monster
06:41
@Yuuki sets everything on fire
@Ash sets fire to the writer
07:09
Okay, this is getting slightly weird. I only just discovered Grrl Power and I'm already at the stage where I'm hoping it's the next Monday or Thursday so I can read the next page
2
07:27
Goooood
@badp You're welcome
07:45
@KevinvanderVelden I think I like Grrl Power so much because they managed to make the best comedy come from the fact that Sydney has ADHD, and are playing that for laughs, alongside her genre savviness
Like, she realizes that she's in a superhero comic, so she makes fun of stuff like montages, flashbacks, permanent talent trees,...
That's the same thing I like about Order of the Stick: you got a varied cast, each with their own flaws, but they also make fun of established tropes like cutaway panels, dice rolls, the WotC litigiousness,...
And the core thing I like the most about both of them is that the jokes take full advantage of the medium and the setting.
@Ash wait is "monkey suit" seriously a word for a thing
Like, they make jokes that probably wouldn't work as well if it wasn't a webcomic, or if it wasn't superhero themed, but because both of those are true, it works just fine
@badp yes, either a suit (as in a tuxedo) or clothes(/uniform) you wear to work
The first one is the one I hear most of the time
08:01
I thought that meant "prison dress" in context

Q: Test for a specific item with a coloured name in a chest

Павел МакаровI have a problem to detect an item with coloured name in a chest. I've made an item thru essentials plugin: /i 352:1 1 name:&f123 So, that name with white colour. But the NBT tag of the name is §f and i can't put this symbol into my command block. How can i detect it? Please, don't advise don't u...

@Fluttershy Did you finish Wheel of Time? I know you were reading through it last year.
I've read the first 3? books. I have 4 and 5 on my bookshelf, but I have other books I want to read first.
For example, I'm now reading the Side Jobs Dresden short story book, and I have 4 more books in the Sin du Jour series to read
now, they're short books, but still
@Wipqozn Read through the whole thing multiple times.
Waiting to see what they do with the TV show.
@Frank I haven't read it yet myself. Was curious what @Fluttershy thought of the series as whole.
IIRC he stopped midway but don't quote me on that
11:35
I'll probably give it a try, but I've read mixed things overall throughout the years.
@Frank is there a date for that yet?
> @Fluttershy stopped midway, and you can quote me on that! ~ @KevinvanderVelden, 2017
2
No no, don't quote me on that
@Wipqozn It's very....verbose. Lots of time is spent describing things, like the scenery, how people are thinking, that sort of thing.
@KevinvanderVelden Not yet, from what I know.
There we go! Now it's super quoted @KevinvanderVelden
11:40
@Wipqozn it sure is
Good job @Wipqozn

Q: How to install and run Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge on Windows 10?

WikisI have the original CDs for RA2 & Yuri's Revenge (expansion) but the setup programs do not work (neither autorun.exe nor install.exe). (I've tried both the Allied and the Soviet disks.) Googling it gives lots of newsgroup postings but either they is no clear explanation or other people claim the...

@Frank That verbosity is I think what put me off from the series. I'm hoping to one day return to it, but it's a very slow series
@KevinvanderVelden I try my best to use my mod powers for the greater good (of trolling the site)
Hmm, there's a raspberry pi stackexchange isn't there?
Mmm, pie
11:45
I don't think they can help me with my computer design issues
I want to control a bunch of things in my new pc case with an rpi but don't know how to hook it up in a way that would prevent the thing from getting murdered by shutting down my pc
@Avery le sigh
NOT YOU TOO
you fell for friday now give me stars
11:47
I should have known better...
goddamnit, Rebecca Black doesn't mark anymore
Porkchat is porked
@Nzall actually no
fredley discovered this
it uses a specific type of redirect
Meta refresh tags are still a thing
11:48
ah, okay
It's a very very old thing
and porkchat doesn't support detecting it yet~
@Avery Yeah, and on my end, star hovers are still broken in Chrome
@KevinvanderVelden Use a separate power supply? Or am I misunderstanding that completely?
@MadScientist I think you're understanding it properly, but I don't want to have two power plugs into my pc, I want to run it on the pcs PSU
And I don't want to have to manually shut it down
11:51
Then you have to use the standby power from the PC power supply, it should be documented somewhere. The chance of electrocuting yourself or burning down the PC is somewhat higher when using the PC supply, though
I have sufficient electronic skills to do that safely, don't worry =p
Only problem with standby power is (well aside from unplugging the entire thing for lanparties) that as far as I can tell it's only exposed on the 24 pin header going to the mobo
@KevinvanderVelden You could (presumably?) run it off a normal device connector with battery backup for clean shutdown, I guess?

Q: What happened to Alucard after Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? (Possible Spoilers)

The Mattbat999At the end of SOTN, Alucard says he is going to But, he appears later on in the series. What happened during that time, if it is ever told?

@TimStone yeah, that's one option. I'm just gonna ask if it's possible to configure a rpi that it's safe to shut down at any moment
I don't need data storage, just an OS to load
@badp Okay, then what are they?
@Nzall waterways
(you could have seen that by clicking on the globe in the corner to launch google earth, then zooming in, though the imagery there is much duller)
12:12
@badp I assumed that globe was just a regular non-interactable watermark
also I'm sure @KevinvanderVelden has a very good explanation for earth.google.com/web/…
That's a lake
@badp what's there to explain?
(the ' and enter keys are right next to each other)
@KevinvanderVelden all of it?
@badp Actually, that's a place where they used to farm peat
12:16
It's a perfectly normal lake
De Vinkeveense Plassen is een natuur- en watersportgebied in het noordwesten van de Nederlandse provincie Utrecht, ten noordoosten van het dorp Vinkeveen. Andere naburige plaatsen zijn Baambrugge, Loenersloot, Waver en Abcoude. Langs het water ligt de snelweg A2 en de N201 loopt door de plassen. De Vinkeveense Plassen is mede dankzij zijn centrale ligging in de Randstad een populair watersportgebied. Langs en op het water zijn vele recreatievoorzieningen aanwezig; zo kan er worden gezwommen, gevaren, gedoken en gewaterskied. Aan de Vinkeveense Plassen liggen meerdere jachthavens met aanlegplaatsen...
Yes, perfectly normal
I don't see what's odd about it
Sure we modified the planet a bit to better support our wishes, but who doesn't do that?
your unconventional wishes are the question here
what sort of wish does... that solve
Essentially, they farmed peat there, which is a fossil fuel used in the 19th century
what problem does one have
where one says
"oh I know this looks like a good idea"
12:18
Having enough places to dock boats, duh
@Nzall so instead of doing the dutch thing and drying the whole place...
@KevinvanderVelden so you can dock a boat on both sides of your house?
you have weird problems to solve
@badp The wish was NOT "I want a rectangular lake". The issue was "I need fuel for my oven." The lake is what's left over after you get out all the peat. The long strips of land that still remain are where they used to dry the peat after harvesting
Essentially, the Netherlands are a huge swamp. What they did was, they dug up the upper layers of compressed plant material, dried them and used them for their ovens
what remains is a lake
@badp By refusing to cede any of the remaining dry land to the water they are giving a very Dutch middle finger to the tides
"What if we just don't shore up the small sandbanks?" "And let the water win? NOT ON MY WATCH"
@Nzall but how is this a singleton
there's nothing else in the Netherlands quite like that
...I think
I didn't spend a lot of time studying the map of the Netherlands carefully
Actually, this is a remnant of the 17th century, the Golden Age of the Dutch
@badp so you didn't see the extremely similar Loosdrechtse plassen a couple KM southeast?
12:33
no
Nieuwkoopse plassen, Reeuwijkse plassen, Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden are well known according to wikipedia
Never heard of em

@cazc_941 I mean, well known in dutchlandia
Oh, ha
Not here in Canadia
12:42
@KevinvanderVelden That's like being well-known in London. even people in Cambridge are unlikely to know about it
@Nzall yes, I was mostly doing it to list other places like the thing we were discussing
And the well known according to wikipedia was to note where I got the list from
@badp this is a crowdfunder wat
@badp I kinda want a small version of it

@Unionhawk :( and thanks for reminding me I still need to get bloodwork done >_>
@badp Related to G-Earth: it's creepy how accurate they are. I'm fairly sure that the image they have of my backyard has extra 3D vectors for the white flowerpot that's on the table in our garden
oh wow, even the fence around the local Delhaize is displayed in 3D
@TimStone it's super fun I recommend it
I have to fast for 8 hours first and I keep forgetting that fact, heh

this blew up
I repcapped for like 3 days in a row now
not even a great question lol
thank you HNQ
all I did was googling "steam faq limited account", throwing the list to sublime, adding ` - ` before every line, adding a pretext and finally just submitting the answer
yeah exactly
@Avery Well, people were helped by it, so I don't really see the issue
13:51
I totally had answers that sit at 0 after I spent hours working on an answer
@Nzall well yeah that's pmuch the point of SE I guess
still though, internet numbers are cool.
I got tons of answers that I put in like a couple of minutes of effort and suddenly grew out of proportion
only the last one there required real effort tbh
Now I'm hungry, damn you @Yuuki
@TimStone Four words: Honey. Butter. Chicken. Biscuit.
14:06
I just got breakfast so I'm good
And after we talked about the "Treasure Truck" yesterday, this appears on the Houston subreddit:
> It looks like the Amazon Treasure Truck is back again! Todays offer is the Sony Model MDRXB650BT/B in black, plus, 3 free months of Amazon Music Unlimited for $44.99

VemonusEarly on, you get access to the Liberated District, which acts as the central hub, with a general store, armory, and the Order HQ, which essentially gives side quests that you can accept.

Naufal BudionoI had Java Map. But, in description i MUST "detach" Vive La France DLC. My question, can i "detach" Vive La France DLC?

cranberry orange scone
Ordered a new phone. Moto X4.
@Avery I'd bet that "woah those answers were posted on the same second that's cool as hell" is happening too
yeah probs
also yay pizza time
why would I want to post "hey I just bought some nice Big Margherita on Yemeksepeti dot com â„¢" on facebook or twitter
still just why
14:46
Yeah if I'm tweeting about pizza it's going to be a picture of pizza, with the caption "P I Z Z A"
yeah that sounds more like it
and i just realized that I made a terrible mess by adding jalapeno to margherita but eh it'll probably not suck as much as I think it will
"I got pineapple on my pizza and I'm posting to social media because it'll make one of you mad."
There was the one where someone put a bunch of candy corn on a frozen pizza
and then later in the thread multiple people discovered furries and wanted in
oh the thing reminds me of uh
which was one of the most wholesome interactions that have occured on the hell website twitter dot com
14:48
IIRC during an AMA with an adult site someone asked how many times people shared to linkedin, and there were actually people doing that (but like it was less than 10 iirc)
lemme see if I can find it
@Avery Hmmm, are you sure it's not asking you to check your pizza into version control?
SUCCESS
thingy (AMA by NSFW site, potential nsfw text)
and
git commit -m P I Z Z A
git push
Obviously if someone posts AVs to linkedin someone will post "I just placed an order from Kent Pizza, would you like to try it too? <link to restaurant on yemeksepetidotcomâ„¢>" to facebook
I mean, someone would probably post that to linkedin

Pizza revision history
Forking the pizza sounds like grounds for capital punishment though.
Well the standard cheese is the basic distro most people fork from.
@Unionhawk I feel like doing it now.
14:55
@MadMAxJr Most people don't use forks on their pizza though.
I mean, unless you're <1 message has been moved to This Is Fine>.
However, please do not associate chicago style with this repo. There is a separate one for those that imports files from casseroles.
please do not merge pineapples to gitpizza
