Q: how to unlock new boost rush levels on new super mario bros wii u

Glenn Hamilton-SmithHow do I unlock the other boost rush levels as there are yellow boxes where I assume that other level packs should go. Anyone know how to get them? Thanks!

 
@BenBrocka It's not a party until you start breaking some convenience store rules
 
Sigh....
Playing on the easiest difficulty and I'm getting invading by parties of 6 raiders not even 10 minutes in.
I should probably dig deeper into the mountain walls next time, but then I have a hell of time with power.
The geysers never spawn anywhere useful for me and I get eclipses so often, it's not even funny.
 
@Yuki Which AI?
 
The first one. <Something> Cassandra Classic?
Although I guess Phoebe would be easier...
 
9:08 PM
Phoebe Friendly is probably the easiest, aye.
 
HI GUYS
 
@spugsley HELLO!
 
HI @SPUGSLEY
 
user15026
@spugsley HELLO
 
hi
 
9:09 PM
@SaintWacko I'm just having a rough time of it.
 
RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL TOMORROWWWWWWWWWW
 
Everything just seems to go wrong with me. Horrible spawns, bad events, etc.
 
user15026
Hot damn, the Steam version of Desktop Dungeons is awesome
 
The one time I seemed to have things going right, I get swarmed by psychically-induced psychotic squirrel hordes.
 
@Yuki It's worth it to string conduits out to geothermal generators
 
9:10 PM
@spugsley Woo! You dressing up?
 
In my picture, those little tunnels out to the sides of the entrance lead to the generators
 
@Fluttershy nah. I gained too many weights and so my old costumes don't fit
 
@SaintWacko Don't conduits short-circuit in the rain?
 
user15026
@spugsley That sounds fun
 
'Cause I remember that happening to me.
 
9:11 PM
@Yuki No, equipment does
 
Well. I just might do that this time.
 
and conduits occasionally short circuit, but the rain doesn't have anything to do with it
 
Gah, I keep almost falling asleep here at work.

We will be performing an upgrade of our 2 primary SQL clusters tomorrow morning, November 9th, 2013 beginning at 11am EST (4pm UTC). We will be upgrading the databases only (not the OS) from SQL Server 2012 SP1 to SQL 2014 CTP 2. Here’s the planned timeline, which will of course go out the window once we get started: 10 am: Polish resumes just in case 10:05 am: Remove node weights from redund

 
@StackExchange Why are they updating to a Community Technology Preview of SQL Server?
 
9:19 PM
> databases only (not the OS)
I suppose they deem it stable enough to migrate now rather than later.
 
@FEichinger Yes the "of SQL Server" showed I knew they weren't talking about the OS.
 
@Powerlord That was just to underline my reasoning, is all. :P
 
But still, a CTP is still technically a beta release.
I just think it's a bad idea to move production servers over to beta software.
For obvious reasons.
 
Definitely.

Q: How do you get a C-130 after the required rank?

user59208Besides buying it, how do i get a C-130? I used to. Now a stunt plane spawns. Thanks!

 
9:28 PM
Not even 4:30pm and my office is almost completely empty. Yay Fridays
 
@Powerlord 10:30pm on a Friday, still a few people around. Including me
 
user43095
I is sick :(
 
(although that may or may not be because we spent a couple hours watching Raiders of the Lost Ark :P)
 
@badp Mmhmm.
 
I expected that face melting gif thing to come from some kind of shitty horror/slasher movie, not Indiana Jones
TIL.
 
9:33 PM
@Powerlord I remember something they said about running into limitations/bugs with SQLServer when's they did the whole data center fail over. I'd suspect that the new version fixes some stuff they need
 
@badp You'd... never seen Raiders of the Lost Ark before?
Also, somehow it doesn't surprise me that Google lets you watch movies at work.
 
@Powerlord It actually was some kind of organized social event
 
@badp Is that for your movie meme thing? :P
 
@Fluttershy Yes.
I don't care about watching movies on my own and as a result I've seen very few.
 
> The Microsoft SQL Server 2014 CTP 2 release is available for testing purposes only. The Microsoft SQL Server 2014 CTP 2 release should NOT be installed and used in production environments, including side-by-side with a production instance of SQL Server.
That's what Microsoft is saying.
Oh, and
> The Microsoft SQL Server 2014 CTP2 release is NOT supported by Microsoft Customer Services and Support (CSS).
Which means if something does go wrong, Microsoft won't support it.
 
9:43 PM
what could possibly go wrong?
 
Oh, just about everything.
 
@badp You mean, other than data import issues, the fact that MS is notorious for making you do complete reinstalls instead of upgrades from CTP versions, yet unknown data corruption bugs (remember, this is SQLServer 2014 Public Beta 2), etc...
 
@Powerlord but you get cheevos
right?
 
@badp That's Visual Studio, not SQL Server. :P
 
@Powerlord SQL Server doesn't have cheevos?
I mean, SQL Server still doesn't have cheevos?
WORTHLESS
 
9:52 PM
You'd think raiders would be a bit reticent to walk into this...
also, @kalina, there's your exclamation point
 
So, the next World of Warcraft expansion takes place on... Draenor.
Which makes me wonder where they plan to move the Burning Crusade content to, since Outlands is Draenor.
 
@Powerlord Again?
 
I can't access it, but apparently the next expansion is named Warlords of Draenor
 
Hmmm, I think I need a longer stroke than this
2
 
@OrigamiRobot OMG?! You're having a stroke? calls 01189998819991197253
 
10:01 PM
I don't smell burnt toast
 
@Powerlord yep, maybe it will just be the bosses of draenor on some other planet
I might actually reactivate for a few months around the time it comes out just to get realm first again
 
@kalina A comment on the site I'm reading implies that time travel is involved here.
> TL;DR We ran out of ideas so here's some Time Travel to f' up canon even more.
 
@Powerlord WoW is full of time travel anyway
Caverns of Time anybody?
clue is kinda in the name
 
I do find it funny that they're going to allow player-built garrisons. I wonder if those will be inside instances or if it'll look like Star Wars Galaxies with random buildings plopped down everywhere.
 
@Powerlord instanced, everything in WoW is instanced
 
10:05 PM
@kalina So, in other words... like player housing in EQ2 works.
 
consider that most of WoW is cross realm these days
including levelling zones
having unique entities in such an environment would be painful
so they'll all be instanced
 
I should probably figure out how big the shaft should be first.

@OrigamiRobot I can't tell if you're trying to make everything you say perverted or if that's just incidental.
 
I'm trying to pick out a solenoid.
 
@fredley TONIGHT I AM EATING CHIPS AND GRAVY
with some grated cheese on it
so... kinda like poutine

Q: Does worker skill increase?

Nick TI have a resident in my tower with 2/2/2/2 skill across the four job types; will he ever improve or is he just dead weight? Is there a reason to keep any people with a skill below the maximum of nine?

 
So ... you're getting covered in cheese again.
 
no
this is melted cheese
I will probably get gravy on me though
 
Oh, well.
 
@KALINA WILL BE COVERED IN MELTED CHEESE AND GRAVY: DATA ACCEPTED
 
sometimes I get so carried away that I try to insert more into my mouth than my mouth can take
 
10:10 PM
walks in, rolls eyes, walks out
6
 
no? Nobody going for the obvious star bait?
I am so disappointed in you
 
No, they want to hear more about my stroke selection.
 
@OrigamiRobot you do need a variety of stroke lengths
 
This one has a nice stroke vs force graph.
 
10:11 PM
well yes, force is important too
 
Oh no, @kalina is going on a rampage! I'd better call the police! dials 011899988 before being set on fire by kalina because of how long it takes
 
@kalina I'm sorry, I was checking my fridge. o.ô
 
 
@kalina 6mm seems too short.
 
@Powerlord 0118 999 88199 9119725... 3
@OrigamiRobot it is, you need a bigger tool
with a wider stroke variation
at a variety of different forces
 
10:13 PM
Yeh, now the star bait is getting boring. Sorry, not happening.
 
No, I don't need variation, I just need more than 6mm.
 
@kalina I know the number, I wrote the whole thing earlier when OrigimiRobot was having a stroke. :P
 
well, was just making sure
 
I'm up to more then 4700 bottles of Greyfields 1879.
I'm going to get to 5000 bottles of wine eventually!
 
A full inch would be nice, but I don't think I'll be able to manage that.
Not at 5v at least.
Oh, my MCU can use up to 35v!
 
10:18 PM
@RedRiderX where is the party?
 
I hate solar flares
@kalina Hahaha
I watched that whole show a couple months ago
Also, Solar flares are stupid
I'm underground
I shouldn't be affected by solar flares
 
Did I mention that I'm out of stars again? If not: I'm out of stars again!
 
HAHAHAHA ART I KICKED YOUR ASS
 
22 raiders
 
can someone really run out of stars?
 
10:23 PM
@FEichinger well you should stop starring @OrigamiRobot's obvious starbait
 
I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT SOLENOIDS!
 
@kalina I can't even star that last one :( I only got to star two of them.
 
I don't even know where all my stars went today ... I didn't star the "NO" nonsense you woke me up with either.
 
See?
 
10:25 PM
@OrigamiRobot Excuuuuuses!
 
@Braiam Well, I actually have an agreement with a certain sommelier...
I don't ask too many questions.
 
@RedRiderX What are you going to do with all the Broken Giant?
 
@Coronus No idea.
But I don't know what else to do with the Romantic Notions.
And it seems crazy enough to be worth it.
 
Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably not a good idea to use a solenoid in a 360 case mod
 
@FEichinger That wasn't my fault, blame @UNI
 
10:29 PM
@RedRiderX The Affable Monsignor has a particular taste for the '44. But you'll need 25 bottles.
 
@kalina In case you haven't noticed, I exclusively blamed him today.
 
I didn't notice
as such it didn't appen
 
@Coronus Ah, well I only have one bottle at the moment.
Sounds interesting...
 
Where are you getting these Romantic Notions?
 
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. They all fall down and smash on the ground, 0 bottles of beer on the wall.
 
10:32 PM
@Coronus I have strong connections with almost everyone.
And I've been Mired in Clay for a good while.
 
...did we manage to make it though my entire work day without a single Rebecca Black link?
 
@Powerlord Nope
 
@Powerlord Nope.
 
There were a few earlier
 
@SaintWacko Oh, I must have missed them then.
 
10:34 PM
One was on the star list, too.
 
So the question becomes: Is there any other way to get the pumping action I'm going for?
 
...and part of the joke there was that my link was to a Katy Perry music video that had Rebecca Black in it.
 
Hmm, I might just buy the last ~300 bottles and be done with it...
 
and time to depart for home
 
There, 5000 bottles of '79 achieved!
...
It's going to take a while to ship all this wine...
 
10:40 PM
@Powerlord I think by now most people know better than to click random links on Friday.
 
I AM SO PROUD
Since today's picture is a little cruddier than usual, I did a before and after type thingy to put on my blog :) And it shows how I put together all the pieces together :)
 
It's only 10 seconds but still. :P
 
@RedRiderX o.0 how many echoes do you have?
 
@SaintWacko I'm minted.
 
@RedRiderX I don't know what that means
 
10:43 PM
As in I still have 11 echoes left after that purchase.
 
@RedRiderX Oh, I thought it meant something specific in Fallen London
 
> rich
 
Psh, that's not minted
Well, how much did 300 bottles cost?
 
@SaintWacko Only 6.
 
@RedRiderX Oh. Psh
I just spent almost 30 on clothing :P
 
10:45 PM
Granted I do have a few thousand items I could cash in if need be.
 
Oh, what's your Scandal at?
 
@SaintWacko Like 2
 
@RedRiderX Bah
I need someone with Scandal at 3 or higher
@AshleyNunn ?
Oh
 
My nightmares are up to 4 again...
 
It only lets me select people with 3 or higher scandal
 
10:46 PM
@SaintWacko I could maybe do something unbecoming...
 
@AshleyNunn I sent you something
 
I'm out of actions though.
Hauling all this wine is going to take a while...
 
> The Starveling Cat!
> The Starveling Cat!
> Wraps round your throat like a cheap cravat!
@RedRiderX I keep being incredibly tempted to subscribe
 
@SaintWacko Eh, you would be supporting them.
 
@RedRiderX Yeah, I know
 
10:50 PM
And it's about as much as refilling your actions like twice.
 
Hey, I just started this Fallen London thing. Mind if I add you folks?
 
@sjohnston Not at all
I'm SaintWacko
 
@sjohnston Sure!
 
I'm Leumas
 
I'm just RedRiderX
> The Starveling Cat!
The Starveling Cat!
Quick as a ratgun!
Sharp as a gnat!
 
10:54 PM
@RedRiderX Ooh, I like that one
> The Starveling Cat!
> The Starveling Cat!
> Why does it look at us like that?
 
@SaintWacko I like the Starveling Ket.
 
> The Starveling Cat!
> The Starveling Cat!
> Won't sit on a cushion,
> won't sit on a mat!
 
FAE
@sjohnston Here's me.
 
@RedRiderX Me too
 
@FAE You still wear your Prisoner's Mask?
 
10:58 PM
I have added @FAE and @sjohnston
 
Yee haw! I'm up to three internet friends!
 
@sjohnston Me too
 
> The Starveling Cat!
The Starveling Cat!
Swims like a bloodfish!
Tastes like a sprat!
 
@RedRiderX Haha
 
FAE
@RedRiderX I don't know what to buy! I don't have that much money. Also haven't played much the last 3 weeks because I've been dealing with some personal stuff.
 
10:59 PM
@FAE Just run around naked! It works for @AshleyNunn.
3
Those things do give annoying penalties.
 
@Coronus added you
 
I haven't played long enough to know all the uses of contacts, but presumably there are a number of fun ways to abuse all of you.
 
@sjohnston There are some things to share with other people
 
FAE
@RedRiderX I was tempted to keep the handcuffs, y'know, just cuz.
 
I just sent @AshleyNunn something
So hopefully @AshleyNunn logs on soon
Then I can stop pinging @AshleyNunn
 
11:01 PM
@sjohnston Oh yes, you can definitely screw people if you want.
 
@RedRiderX Wouldn't advise it, though
There's more long term benefit in being nice
 
@SaintWacko Nope.
I've had two people wanting me to case the Museum of Mistakes for them.
 
So how do I send "cats"?
 
@Coronus Hm?
 
@Coronus You've got to get one first.
 
11:03 PM
@RedRiderX What does that do?
 
It'll show up in Opportunity cards.
 
I always just release my cats
Poor kitties :(
Cooped up in boxes
 
@RedRiderX Gotcha.
 
@SaintWacko Well it means I case the place and then make a... visit.
There are some interesting things in there.
But I get to choose whether I give the take to them.
 
@RedRiderX Huh. Cool
 
11:09 PM
@SaintWacko Though so far I have given them what they wanted.
There are plenty of other things of interest in the Museum.
If you know what I mean. nudge nudge
There.
Delivery sent.
My 5000 bottles of wine have been purchased.
I made a good 12 echoes off that deal.
Though I did blow about 3 echoes of value in that 300 bottle spring...
But still.
 
11:31 PM
So today's productivity consisted of: getting supplies for supper tomorrow (making taco salad). Buying enough bread and meat to last me hopefully a week. Cleaning the bathroom since visitors are coming over. Finishing up my very first model. And some general sweeping.
 
@fbueckert Have yous tarted looking for a new job yet?
 
@Wipqozn Nope. Probably won't until at least December.
 
@fbueckert What model?
 
@OrigamiRobot M9 Gernsback from Full Metal Panic.
 
Neato
 
11:34 PM
Yeah. I've got a couple Gundam ones left to build now.
 
I tried to work on my 360 case mod, but nothing went as planned
 
Including my expensive Perfect Grade Gundam 00 Exia I bought when I was in Japan.
 
11:47 PM
Zzzz
 
@BenBrocka Again?
 
@BenBrocka About the third time in this chat.
 
8 hours ago, by Sterno
File download sites that disguise ads as download buttons are the worst.
@Sterno Did you mean: all of them?
 
11:50 PM
Zzzz
 
Oh, hadn't seen it
 
@BenBrocka Oh, rabbits!
I like them
They taste good.
