That's not a mossy. Too long legs. And no nose sucky bit.
@OrigamiRobot It looks like one of those big-ass ones.
@badp Huzzah! Bork Bork Bork!
@StrixVaria It is what you're thinking, but those aren't mosquitoes. They eat mosquitoes.
19:01
@OrigamiRobot They're called mosquitoes here, regardless of what they actually are.
Also, fun fact: It is not illegal to kill a praying mantis.
I have met many people who believe it is.
@OrigamiRobot Why would you think that?
@RonanForman It's an urban legend.

White Coke is a moniker for a variant of Coca-Cola produced in the 1940s at the request of Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov. Coca-Cola was presented to Zhukov by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, Dwight D. Eisenhower—himself a particular fan of Coca-Cola. Zhukov liked it and asked for its color to resemble vodka so that he would not be seen drinking Coca-Cola in public, as it was regarded in the Soviet Union as a symbol of American imperialism. Marshal Zhukov placed the request with General Mark W. Clark, commander of the US sector of Allied-occupied Aus...

For reference the above is the size of a small rat

Those are the two scariest harmless bugs
I take it @OrigamiRobot is getting revenge for all the sloth pictures.

@OrigamiRobot A cricket? Really?
user20683
@Wipqozn Imma let him finish.
user20683
@FAE That's a Wetta
@FAE Not just any cricket. A camel cricket.

@WorldEngineer Photoshop a sloth into a bug. or something

sometimes they fall off...
user20683
sometimes there are people below
I would be more scared of a camel cricket than a wetta
Only because it is easier to hit a wetta
@OrigamiRobot I found one of these in my apartment one morning and it took me a half hour of terror before I finally attacked it.
It escaped.
And ambushed me another half hour later.

@OrigamiRobot Jochem accidentally bit one of those in half once.
user20683
19:15
ah yes, I remember those
@StrixVaria House centipedes are the worst.
@FAE WTF!?!?!?!?!
@OrigamiRobot Those are the worst.
@OrigamiRobot These used to love congregating on my trampoline.
user20683
I've nearly eaten them and had one land in my ear once.
@WorldEngineer I would die.
I'm terrified of earwigs. I had an encounter with them when I was 5 and it scarred me for life.
FAE

@OrigamiRobot It was when he was a kid. You remember those large balloons with rubberbands on them that you could blow up and punch/bounce off your hand? He had one of those. It had crawled into the neck and when he went to blow it up, it crawled into his mouth.
For. Life.

He bit down out of reflex.

FAE
FAE
@StrixVaria Yes but I don't remember what they're called
Stinkbugs
They're fine, just put em outside.
@OrigamiRobot They are too big to touch.
But too stinky to kill.

Don't kill them, or you'll find out why they're called stinkbugs.
The worst of both worlds.

@OrigamiRobot aw, those are cute
Even rolly-pollies?

@StrixVaria Yea, they roll up in little balls

@WorldEngineer I would kick you if I were a mod.
@FAE potato bugs are something much worse
user20683
@Shog9 kick me please
@FAE I have never heard them called that.
My entire body currently itches from this conversation.
19:21
@WorldEngineer shrimp made of shrimps?
That is a potato bug
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Oh wait, sorry, pill bugs is what I meant
@badp Back like 3 topics, does it bother you that there's a dish in the USA called "shrimp scampi"?
OK, yea.
@OrigamiRobot yeah that's what I remember killing. They stink. So do crushed potato leaves. Together, the smell is sickening.
19:22
@StrixVaria What is it?
@badp Shrimp with lemon/garlic/butter sauce.
@FAE Yeah, that's kind of adorable. If I saw it in RL I'd cry though.
FAE
FAE
@Wipqozn Have you really never seen one before?
@StrixVaria I'll assume it means something to the effect of "shrimpest" as in "pure shrimp" and be okay with it
@FAE I don't believe so.

The ten-lined June beetle, also known as the watermelon beetle, is a scarab beetle, living in the western United States and Canada. The adults are attracted to light and feed on foliage but do not damage the plants. They can make a hissing sound when touched or otherwise disturbed, which can resemble the hissing of a bat. This sound is made by their wings pushing down, forcing the air out between their wings and back. They can be an agricultural pest affecting a wide range of crops because their larvae feed on plant roots and can weaken or kill the plants. Description They are rather lar...
I don't exactly seek out bugs in my day to day life.
It might not have lemon, actually. It might just be garlic/butter.
It's certainly delicious, but the name is stupid.
These assholes are the worst.
19:24
Lack of lemon makes me a little sad, but oh well.
They love to fly into your head at night.
Lemon is good with most fish
The Oestridae are a family of flies variously known as bot flies, warble flies, heel flies, gadflies, and similar names. Their larvae are internal parasites of mammals, some species growing in the host's flesh and others within the gut. The human botfly, Dermatobia hominis, is the only species of bot fly known to parasitize humans routinely, though other species of fly do cause myiasis in humans. General A botfly, also written bot fly, bott fly or bot-fly in various combinations, is any fly in the family Oestridae. Their lifecycles vary greatly according to species, but the larvae of ...
@Wipqozn Just pick up a rock.
@OrigamiRobot I'd rather not.
19:24
Are we listing the most horrifying things that actually exist right now?
Because botflies.
I also don't give a lot of attention to insects and prefer to leave them alone

@StrixVaria I was traumatized by those as a kid.
the ones women scream the most about are typically skinny and long-legged and that's that.
@OrigamiRobot It's SAmus!

19:26
@StrixVaria They laid eggs on our rabbit and the maggots hatched and started eating her flesh.
@Wipqozn nope - it's the moon in Majora's Mask. Only brown.
Hmm, Mount and Blade: Warband looks neat, is it worth picking up?
@FAE :(

@StrixVaria My parents had to use hydrogen peroxide on her and that was the first time I ever heard a rabbit scream.

Baby sloths are adorable.

UGH GROSS
@Wipqozn snout!

This is gonna be an escalation of Bug vs Sloth...it's like a really lame (and tedious) SyFy original movie...
It's @Wipqozn and @OrigamiRobot!
I am glad sloths are slow so I can escape from them.
It truly is. @Wipqozn is crying in the picture

@FAE We have these everywhere in our yard. I'm told they like to eat spiders or my kids would not allow them to live.

@Coronus Think of it as a new video game: "Where on the Internets is the Bridge?"
They look like big furry ants

@OrigamiRobot yeah, I've seem em, they are wasps.
user20683

wingless wasps
@WorldEngineer Yep. Wingless wasps.
Also called Cow Killer Ants
user20683
they are much less horrifying than the thumb sized hornets where I lived in high school.

Ticks are also the worst.
I had a tick on my eyelid once. (cc @StrixVaria @Wipqozn)

@WorldEngineer I grew up in the country. I've had many ticks.

I've seen horrible infestations

also had armies of them crawling up my legs
I'm surprised I didn't get worse.

but yes, I shall immediately delete any sloth images posted for one week

I think I gave @StrixVaria a heart attack.
@OrigamiRobot The fact you're still alive means you must be the manliest man alive.
Hey guys, I'm new here. I have a question on answer etiquette.
@Wipqozn I was like 10. I didn't even know it was there until someone told me.
@IanK Ask away.
@WorldEngineer Took you long enough.

@Wipqozn Mod issues
user20683
19:43
actual mod business takes precedence over torturing you lot.
If there are two closely-related questions, and I've answered one with content not answered before, and the other question lacks this as well, how should I go about adding the new information to the second question, if at all?
user20683
@IanK you should generally flag the questions for merger
user20683
if they are so close as to have the same answers be valid.
user20683
or as duplicates
@IanK Are you thinking of a specific example?
19:47
@world gonna try that then, thakns.

Whew, it's warm outside.
Beautiful day to be outside, though.
@fbueckert Summer sucks
Fall is the only good season.
@Wipqozn Dude, you're on the ocean.
You get moderate temperatures year-round.
We have to soak in the sun now, because when it's -40, we're not getting any warmth.

Q: Why can't I craft a badge when I have 5 different cards?

George DuckettI have 5 different cards for The Binding Of Isaac, but I can't find anywhere to craft a badge. Do I need the exact 5 cards shown in the badges page within steam? I thought those were just a random 5. http://steamcommunity.com/id/georgeduckett/gamecards/113200/

Proof positive of sockpuppeting.
@StrixVaria I had a lot of fun with it. The combat can be frustrating at times, and it is often difficult to get kings and nobles to help you out, but it's still pretty fun.

That was over our in-office IM thinger.
@Fluttershy I looked at the gameplay a bit and I think I'm going to pass mostly because I already bought 12 other games.
user15026
From fish perspective?
@AshleyNunn No idea.
user20683
20:05
Sounds like a physics question to me
user15026
Also, if you say you are open from 1-7 and I show up at 340 and you are weirdly closed until 5? Not awesome, especially when I took an hour on transit to get to you.
@AshleyNunn Yeah, that's bad customer service.
Their website says they're open?

@fbueckert yes, and so does the email I got yesterday from them when I asked about today's hours.
@AshleyNunn Yup, that's crappy customer service.
Time to blast them for it.
@AshleyNunn Did they have a sign up or anything saying why?
20:10
@fbueckert You have to buy the game to download it.
But there's 0 DRM.
@RonanForman So this answer is basically advocating piracy, then.
user20683
@fbueckert That was my reading of it
@fbueckert Basically.
user15026
@origami well the sign said they would be open again at 5,but not why.
@AshleyNunn I mean, emergencies happen...
user15026

@orgami I am assuming that is what happened, but I am just hot and irritated. Luckily I have a book so I am hiding in an air conditioned coffee shop and waiting.

I AM SO TIRED OF RAIN
@fbueckert Avoiding a ban? That's bannin'
@Wipqozn A short, two-day ban, no less.
@fbueckert Indeed.
It should probably be extended for avoiding the ban.

Shorter than first offenses are usually suspended for, and he goes and circumvents it the first day.
@spugsley Rain is good for pictures!
@StrixVaria fair enough. I have gotten some great rain pictures. Two of them are like my most popular to date on Flickr

Q: Can I launch game from steam at fullscreen on external monitor on laptop?

PatrykI have recently installed steam and Dota 2 on my Ubuntu box. I would like to use my external monitor to get the "full experience". The problem is that when I use the fullscreen option I get the game on fullscreen on my laptop screen. I have checked "Make this the primary display for the X Screen"...

I can't see the video, but BMO is always referred to as "he" in the show. Not that it matters. BMO is a robot.
20:55
@OrigamiRobot She's not apparently, according to the video.
@RonanForman Not what? A robot?
@OrigamiRobot Not always referred to as "he".
@RonanForman I have yet to see an episode that doesn't.
So you remember every single line in the- oh right. You do. You're a robot.
@RonanForman And because it stands out to me since I always thought of BMO as female due to being voiced by a female.
20:58
@OrigamiRobot He mentions that in the video too. For example Bart Simpson is voiced by a woman.
FAE
FAE
@RonanForman Well it's super common for young boys in animation to be voiced by women.
@FAE Yeah, but the point that Character gender =/= Actor gender still stands.
user15026
@origami BMO isn't though. I have seen eps that female gender BMO and ones that male gender
@RonanForman ...I don't watch Adventure Time
@badp Shame on you!
user15026
21:00
I can't recall specifics because my brain doesn't work that way :(
> BMO will sometimes play pretend games in which it assumes a gender-specific role, such as calling itself a "little living boy" in "Five Short Graybles" and having its mirrored persona, Football, claim that it was "a real baby girl" in "Five More Short Graybles." Throughout the episode "BMO Noire" BMO role-plays as a hard-boiled, male detective; though, interestingly, the title of the episode treats "BMO" as a feminine noun by using "noire" instead of "noir."
I don't like Adventure Time. Hah!
Hmmmm. I don't remember that from Five More Short Graybles at all.
@OrigamiRobot And you were all like "I know everything because I'm so good" but you're not. Ha!
@Krazer eh. Doesn't "Noire" agree with the implied "Story" noun which is feminine in French?
I doubt the title meant "Black BMO" rather than "The dark story of BMO"
21:02
In case you are wondering what the story is in Last of Us and don't feel you have time to play it:<Spoiler>
(then again I haven't seen it)
</spoiler>
@RonanForman BMO is not Football
@OrigamiRobot the -e is only added if the noun the precedes it is feminine, e.g. Cirque Noir and not Cirque Noire because "cirque" is masculine. L.A. Noire is has an -e because L.A. is a city, which is feminine in French.
@Krazer shrug
21:06
@badp Story isn't feminine in French, as far as I remember.
isn't it la histoire?
yep: histoire is feminine.
and it also means "story"
Assuming histoire is used rather than conte. Hmmm ... Curious. At any rate, there doesn't seem to be a common expression referring to the form (story) rather than the medium or the subjects.
film noir is in use, but I can't really find any written equivalent, for instance.
neither seems to be really in use
where's @mvy when you need him?

Q: Public Game Tag

SabreWolfyI created a game recently and then opened it to the public. I selected the "Monster Slaying" tag.

How did you miss that?
Also, might wanna insert a "the" there.

It's probably Soos.
You need to step up your game @Fluttershy, @OrigamiRobot just made you look like the fool.
@Fluttershy That is incorrect.
Only mabel and waddles are acceptable answers.
