Then again if that was in America i wouldn't be surprised if it was a real story.
I remember that story about a guy who called police because a prostitute he met wasn't "as hot as she described herself".
 
@ChrisHateZ he was probably too tired to make something up? :P
 
@ChrisHateZ She's from the UK where there is a total devoid of dumb people.
 
One of the best stories ever.
@Ullallulloo Hm, interesting.
 
Complains to cops about a prostitute's looks?
 
9:02 PM
@ChrisHateZ Only in the UK. Specifically, the part @kalina is from.
 
I am not from Birmingham
 
If you say so.
 
West Midlands Regional Burns Centre
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham
Mindelson Way
Birmingham
B15 2WB
 
@ShotgunNinja buuurn.com
 
9:04 PM
@ShotgunNinja She was breaching the Sale of Goods Act!!!
 
We need one box support for that.
 
This is a list of burn centers in the United States. A burn center or burn care facility is typically a hospital ward which specializes in the treatment of severe burn injuries. As of 2012 there are 123 self-designated burn care facilities in the United States, 54 of which have been designated burn centers by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons. Alabama *UAB Burn Center *University of South Alabama Burn Center Alaska *Providence Alaska Medical Center – Thermal/Wound Services Arizona *Arizona Burn Center at Maricopa Medical Center *The Grossman Burn Cent...
 
@ShotgunNinja So they removed the E3 Conference, Sony room from the list?
 
@kalina Hehe
 
@SaintWacko Took a break from RL, eh?
 
9:06 PM
@ChrisHateZ Nope, tabbed out for a second
 
@SaintWacko Did you unlock the Lich yet?
 
@ChrisHateZ No
 
@badp That was removed in two minutes
 
@SaintWacko He's awesome. Starts with low stats but gets +10 to max HP everytime he kills someone, and i don't think there is a limit. I'm probably going to be rush-unlocking that guy.
 
@BenBrocka I'd have expected shorter reversion times
 
9:09 PM
@ChrisHateZ o.0
 
@SaintWacko ikr
 
@ChrisHateZ I wish I could figure out these "Defeat all enemies" fairy chests which have enemies sealed away from me -.-
 
@SaintWacko Sealed away how? Are they in those "giant wall boxes"?
 
@ChrisHateZ No, the rooms just sort of split into multiple rooms, and they're in the other one
And the chest is in the one I can access
 
Well some fairy chests are just trolls lol. Can't get them no matter what.

Q: Minecraft redstone powering side blocks

XaserI'm currently looking into the concept of redstone in minecraft and I stumbled across this behaviour and I can't explain why this works. Legend: O - Obsidian Block R - Redstone Wire L - Glowstone Lamp OLO LOL _R _R right so if i power the redstone wire, all three Laps lighten up although ther...

Q: Are resources limited?

kotekzotUpon discovering Vertical Shaft and its resident Larian, I've immediately set to work feeding the Phyta to the Larian for nutritious compost. After a while, however, the Phyta stopped reproducing - the "eggs" they laid upon eating a seed simply disappeared instead of hatching into a new Phyta. Th...

Q: Can I introduce species that don't have carryable seeds to new areas?

kotekzotSome of the more interesting species (Phyta, Larians, Ledon Zoa) don't have seeds that you can put in your inventory and introduce somewhere else. Is it possible to introduce such a species to a location where it is not already present?

Q: How does purchasing upgrades affect the cost of other upgrades?

SaintWackoI've been noticing that when I purchase upgrades in the Manor, sometimes the price of other upgrades will increase. Do all upgrades increase all prices, or are there certain ones which affect each other? If the latter, which ones are those?

Q: How do things work when multiple game saves try to punt each other around?

ToomaiI have multiple saved games. One of them intends to eventually ally with the Grox. Another intends to wipe out all other empires. A third intends to control the galaxy via trade. At some point, some of these games will run into each other and try to stomp each other out. I know that they can't d...

Q: How can I increase Poison Burst damage?

Sebastian NegraszusThe description of Poison Burst says, it inflicts x% of weapon DPS as poison damage. So, how do I increase the damage? By investing into strength or focus or both?

 
I once found a fairy chest who's objective was to reach it and open it without looking at it, which is impossible..
 
@ChrisHateZ Well, I suppose you could get over it and drop down
 
Unless there is a trait that makes you blind, that type of character could get that.
 
So that you were right next to it but facing the other direction
 
@SaintWacko Nope, it's just a hall, and the box is at the end. It's impossible.
That's probably because of random generation lol.
Btw when you get the "Kill all enemies" objective for fairy chest, make sure you kill paintings. They're easy to miss.
Movie time, later guys.
 
9:26 PM
Home time, later guys
 
Half an hour for me
 
I'm almost definitely going to buy Rogue Legacy tonight.
I wasn't a huge fan of FTL, and Fez is starting to bother me because there's no way to get everything on one pass through an area.
 
Rogue Legacy bought. I'll give it a shot, see what happens.
 
9:47 PM
@Polygon: FYI Microsoft eliminated fees for Title Updates on Xbox 360 Arcade games in April 2013
so it's true then, fucking finally
Can't believe it wasn't brought up before
 
loss at the 7th penalty kick
I guess it's better to have that at the Confed than at the World Cup
 
@fbueckert I bought it and had my fiancee set up the install so it'll be ready when I get home. I have to go run some errands tonight though before I get home :(

Q: Can I plant any fruit in my town?

Ashley NunnI know I can plant fruit I get from visiting other towns, such as apples or peaches or oranges, but if I plant the coconuts and the durian from the island, will they grow in my town? Or will those trees only grow on the island?

 
user15026
I hate when you find out something new, some new bit of information that is really exciting to you, and you really really want to share it with someone but you cant think of anyone who would possibly be interested in the thing that fascinates you.
 
@AshleyNunn I know this feeling and also hate it.
 
user15026
9:55 PM
@StrixVaria It is what I am feeling right now and I really hate it
 
What's the scoop?
 
user15026
@RonanForman On?
 
@AshleyNunn What is it?
 
user15026
@ChrisHateZ Carnegie Libraries. :D I never knew they were a thing and now I do and I think they are amazing.
 
@AshleyNunn Meh, libraries.
 
user15026
10:00 PM
@ChrisHateZ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LIBRARIES ARE AWESOME.
 
@AshleyNunn I don't like books.
 
user15026
sighs sadly at the demise of libraries.SE
 
@AshleyNunn patpats :(
 
user15026
@TimStone sniffles
 
@Ashely What's so special about these libraries?
 
user15026
10:04 PM
@RonanForman Basically, this guy named Andrew Carnegie was like I <3 Libraries, back in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and he was also super loaded with money, so he basically was like "anyone anywhere! have a library, as long as people want it and you have space for it and stuff" so he donated money for a bajllion libraries all over the world and a lot of them are still standing and being used as libraries even though in a lot of cases its been 100 years since they were built
 
user15026
and I just think it was so cool that he went and made books and stuff accessible to all these places who were too tiny and whatnot to afford them
 
user15026
and I like that a lot of them are still libraries
 
user15026
its a cool history thing
 
FAE
@ChrisHateZ :( Libraries are the best thing.
 
Yeah it's pretty neat.
 
10:06 PM
Agreed
 
Although you'll hate me because I don't believe public libraries are a requirement anymore.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah, he was a very well-known philanthropist in American history. If you've ever heard of Carnegie Hall, he's the one who built that too.
 
user15026
@FAE I wondered, based on the name
 
user15026
He was pretty cool dude, I think
 
I mean governments shouldn't spend loads on them.
 
user15026
10:08 PM
@RonanForman I get that, sorta
 
user15026
but then I think of all the tiny towns I grw up near where the library is like...the hot spot in town
 
My reasoning being, we don't get free tv/movies why are books any different.
 
FAE
@RonanForman They are very different forms of media, and not only media, but basic education.
 
user15026
@RonanForman You can borrow those from a library, too, btw
 
user15026
@FAE This
 
10:10 PM
@FAE We're not in the Victorian era anymore. Education isn't only for the rich.
 
FAE
@RonanForman Heck, when I was younger, you could take out music from the library too.
@RonanForman But we're still not rich enough where everyone has access to education and can even afford books.
 
user15026
@RonanForman Just because you have access to the state education system doesn't mean a library isn't useful for all sorts of learning and community access and so many, many, many things that aren't just books. And even the books are important.
 
FAE
Heck, my guild is doing a book club and we've got at least 2 users who take the books out of libraries because they don't have jobs and can't afford to go buy books they're unsure they'll like.
 
user15026
@FAE That's me right now, the library is my bestie because I can't afford books
 
I'm not denying libraries arn't good things. I just don't think they're a right like people suggest they are.
 
10:13 PM
@AshleyNunn Going to the library was a really big part of my life growing up and a part of exposing me to new ideas before the internet was a thing.
That said the internet is a thing now.
 
user15026
@RedRiderX It still is for me, and I am like always online
 
@AshleyNunn Me too, yeah.
 
user15026
but I mean think beyond just us
 
user20683
Libraries are part of that right
 
user15026
@RonanForman I suppose that is fair. I disagree, though
 
user20683
10:14 PM
@RonanForman I think public access to information is a right
 
@World I agree, but huge halls of paper isn't the best way of providing that.
 
user20683
@RonanForman It is if you are staggeringly poor
 
user15026
The internet does not hold everything, especially for small towns - think of all the history and other important stuff there! Heck, take where I grew up. It is literally NOT anywhere on the internet. I cannot find out ANYTHING about it. I go to the libraries nearby, adn they are like BAM INFORMATION OVERLOAD
 
@AshleyNunn This.
 
@AshleyNunn hit up wikipedia and fix it
 
user20683
10:16 PM
Archival on the internet is a notorious hard process
 
user15026
@badp Tempting. Would have to go to the library first!
 
user20683
@badp The Grand Daemon of Notability
 
@WorldEngineer Cities are always notable right?
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Oh it is. There are SO many things that we haven't been able to preserve properly, there's risks of data loss, there is finding somewhere to put all the info online and have it not cost a bajillion dollars
 
user20683
Manpower is required to scan and to verify information.
 
user15026
10:18 PM
@badp Sweetie, this is no city, its a town of maybe 200 with a cattle farm, a church, and a bridge
 
@AshleyNunn Cities, towns, whatever
 
@AshleyNunn This.
 
You shouldn't get notability cliams for a geographical place
at most people will trim it down if it reads like an ad
(afaik)
(I know very little)
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer That too
 
@badp I will go into the other room and take a picture of the tomes written of the small towns where I grew up.
 
user20683
10:19 PM
Plus there's an aesthetic with books you can't get online
 
@RedRiderX Clearly we need canada.SE
 
user15026
@RedRiderX highfives you for also being from small towns
 
user20683
@badp you do realize that would just turn into one giant NC brawl over Hockey right?
 
@WorldEngineer That's probably the least of it. "Just" run the information through LaTeX; boom, instant book.
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer giggles Psh, no, Leafs are best team everyone knows that
 
user20683
10:21 PM
@AshleyNunn Sharks, support the Home Team, Chapter 12
 
@AshleyNunn returns internet highfive
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Fiiiiine, I guess that is acceptable
 
user20683
@AshleyNunn I like Hockey and hate Football, do you know how weird that is for an American?
 
user15026
@WorldEngineer Yeah, that's weird
 
user15026
I don't like super love hockey, but if i had to pick a sport to like that would be it
 
user20683
10:23 PM
@AshleyNunn Soccer and Hockey are the only sports I'll watch.

smallest city I've lived in has 17k souls
 
Layton Bros is out on iOS today. >:/
 
user20683
6k
 
user20683
hmm, Metzingen might have been smaller at the time...
 
user20683
10:25 PM
let me see
 
I'm not sure how many people live in the city here... I know if you count both cities and the surrounding suburbs it was something like 120k a while back.
 
or towns or whatever, arbitrary distinctions are arbitrary
 
user15026
I grew up in the town i mentioned, so, yeah, 200 people max, strongly suspect it is less that that
 
Is there a way to see who created a tag?
 
as the official internet person in chief of Middle Of Nowhere, you have the moral duty to inform the internet about it
 
FAE
10:27 PM
My address was technically part of a village of 1200 (spread out over several miles of farmland) but I didn't live in that village, I lived in a small valley a few miles from it.
 
Atlus Japan's parent company filed for a kind of bankruptcy today? :(
 
I grew up in a village of 138 people.
 
user20683
@Powerlord Do not want
 
such small human assemblies give me claustrophobia
 
Wait, didn't they spin Atlus USA off a while back?
I seem to recall a merger between XSEED and Atlus USA or something like that
 
user15026
10:28 PM
@FAE ah, sounds familar - I techincally had three addresses growing up - one for the nearest town with a post office (rural route address), one for the township, and on that was based on the lot/concessions
 
FAE
"This page has been deleted" is what I get when I type where I grew up in Wiki. :(

just think, half of the population is always watching the street from behind curtains, swapping gossips about everybody, and I mean everybody else
 
user20683
@badp I don't think it, I know it. That was high school.
 
user15026
@FAE The closest I get is the page for the township
 
user15026
10:29 PM
@badp yep.
 
@Powerlord I think it's the equivalent to Chapter 11 bankruptcy
 
I have to go with the small suburb a family friend lives in. we have a house there under permanent construction and the family opposite the street is always out, in full force, watching and taking
and that to then is a fulfilling social life
 
I was trying to check the name of the city in The Truman Show but couldn't find it.

Q: Which metal does the most damage when crafted into a weapon?

NoneOfYourBusinessWhat is the order here? Which metals are best for weapon and armor crafting? What is the progressing in that sense? I would suspect Steel to be more effective than Silver, but real life logic does not apply always to video games.

Q: How do I disable time limit in TF2?

DaimyoKirbyI've looked quite a few places now, and can't seem to find an answer, so I'm turning here.

Q: Where is the save file for Rogue Legacy located?

SaintWackoI would like to junction the save location on my computer to where I want it on my flash drive, so I can take it with me, but I'm not quite sure where the files are located.

 
10:34 PM
Bah, Truman Show's not on Amazon Prime free any more
 
@Powerlord It's Seahaven
 
@GrumpyLazers This guy does realize TF2's a multi-player game?

Q: HedgeWars not working in Ubuntu 13.04

AlenWhen I start Hedgewars I only get loading screen, I see a background with "in game" message. I found one question about this on this site but that question is deleted so I'm asking it again. Is there any fix for this?

 
10:44 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz Is there any fan-fiction that doesn't violate either of those rules?
 
@ArdaXi I'd imagine there's a very tiny amount or they wouldn't even be able to launch.
 
Wait, what
Oh, crossover means you can't combine works
 
@ArdaXi Correct.
My understanding is that the reasoning is that Amazon can't come up with a fair way to divvy up royalties.
i.e. if you write an erotic Chewbacca love-scene Cameo into a 95% Battlestar Galactica fanfic, does Lucasfilm get 5% of the revenue? 50%? Who makes the call? Easier to just make it clean where any fic's royalties always only go to one place.

Q: What are the Misc. Stat categories in Offspring Fling?

ken.ganongIn Offspring Fling, on the stats screen, there is a section entitled Misc. Stats which has three categories. When you first start the game, these categories are hidden (they appear as question marks) and the categories appear once you get a score in the category that is high enough. I've complet...

THis sounds like a game of which you would be fond.
Since I assume it is about throwing children.
I don't know, I didn't actually look it up, so it could be a liscensed platformer featuring the music of the band Offspring in a Spring Break at Cancun setting.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I am in fact quite fond of throwing children
 
user20683
I own that game
 
user20683
It's kind of annoying
 
user20683
since it's an action puzzler
 
user20683
11:03 PM
and has the same music playing for the entire game
 
user20683
points in its favor are the cute art design, reasonably tight controls and low system requirements
 
@WorldEngineer Is said 'same music playing for the entire game' the Offsprings "Pretty Fly For A White Guy"? Because that would be pretty annoying.
 
user20683
@LessPop_MoreFizz not quite that bad, just monotonous
 
@WorldEngineer I am not going to look up this game, because I like the idea that something as terrible as what I just envisioned is a real thing.

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's a very low price. But he's not selling. He's wanting to buy for that price. <_<
 
@Fluttershy I love people who lowball like that.

that's a rather odd profile
 
Web pages that hijack the browser back button behavior make me angry.
 
11:33 PM
@Sterno Not as angry as webpages that hijack the clipboard/copy/paste behavior.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz When I paste a clip from a website and it mystically includes a link back to that website, I tend never to visit that site again.
 
@James 5 Q per day is actually decently high for a beta
 
Well, my first character in Rogue Legacy lasted about 30 seconds. And that's because I spent 20 seconds reading a journal.
 
@Sterno .NET always takes a long time to install, too.
 
11:45 PM
Yay! I can't launch Rogue Legacy.
> Please load Rogue Legacy from the Steam client
Let me try restarting I guess.
 
@BenBrocka Cats in Indiana are terrifying.
 
My 2nd character lasted about 32 seconds. But it's okay, I didn't like her anyway. She couldn't see in 3d
@BenBrocka Does that same Carmel? Because I live in Carmel, Indiana.
I am now terrified of going outdoors.
 
@Sterno Given that the article above cites INDOT, I assume this is the Indianapolis star.
And that thus, Carmel is right below it.
 
Looks out window... then looks UP
 
Woo it launched!

@BenBrocka Was just going by the info on the page is all, it was borderline 'needs work' on the questions part.
 
OH GOD THE FIRE! WHY?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz they're called housecats because they are the size of houses
 
@BenBrocka It has been pointed out to me that the goal of the graphic is that the Y axis starts at 13' 6".
So the cats are 1'3" tall.
Which works.
But is far less fun.
