@OrigamiRobot Oh gods, what nearly eradicated disease is coming back now?

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden Intelligence.

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden It was actually an article supporting vaccinations from a mother who wasn't vaccinated as a child. I just scrolled down to the comments.

Powerlord

So, not only was the State of Michigan government closed yesterday, but approximately 25%-30% of our office has called in sick today.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka I said coming back, I don't see any evidence of that yet

5pike

@OrigamiRobot Save yourself and don't read it.

OrigamiRobot

2:03 PM

@5pike Too late.

5pike

@OrigamiRobot This whole counter-vaccination movement is pants on head retarded. Parents who don't vaccinate their children because of it should have their children taken away.

FAE

@kalina if you're editing LoL questions, I'd suggest referencing this post so you know which abbreviations to capitalize. Also, champion names should be capitalized.

@5pike Blame Jenny McCarthy.

@KevinvanderVelden Same, got our first win :)

5pike

@FAE Why are such people allowed to be on TV

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum hehe

5pike

Oh, right

2:09 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I had one really nice flagrun, tricked the other dude in speeding up and then I suddenly turned.

FAE

@kalina I play LoL and thus can decipher what they're saying, but even for me, it was really awful to try to keep up with during the contest.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum ping ping ping =p

But yeah fun game

Mechanical Loon

It's so cold out today. You people who live in Saskatchewan/Manitoba are insane.

kalina

@FAE I've been playing/researching Dota2 a bit recently so they make a lot more sense to me now

Arperum

@kalina Why are you quoting @GnomeSlice?

kalina

2:10 PM

but EUGH

Jason Berkan

@MechanicalLoon It's warmed up to -28 this morning, though!

Kevin van der Velden

@JasonBerkan your definition of warmed up is... broken

FAE

@kalina Still hurts the head though.

kalina

There are only 18 alots left

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina jeah for DotA 2 :D

2:11 PM

kalina

out of 197

OrigamiRobot

I don't think that's right.

Mechanical Loon

@JasonBerkan ಠ_ಠ

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot ... it's 123 celcius AND SNOWING

Arperum

@kalina Preserve the alot! before it becomes an endangered species!

Mechanical Loon

2:12 PM

It's -15C here today (that's 4F for sane people).

Kevin van der Velden

The rest of the world disagrees with you

OrigamiRobot

@MechanicalLoon 11F here :(

Kevin van der Velden

Green is Celsius usage

Arperum

@MechanicalLoon Still warmer than my freezer.

Mechanical Loon

@KevinvanderVelden To be fair, F and C are both equally stupid.

They both have 0 set to something that isn't actually "lack of heat".

Arperum

2:14 PM

@MechanicalLoon Start using K already!

fredley

It's no longer cold until it's colder than Mars

Mechanical Loon

It's only 257K out today. I'm dying of cold.

fredley

@Arperum At least C is vaguely sensible. I have no idea what the freezing point of water is in F, therefore no frame of reference at all.

Arperum

@fredley This.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley that would be 32 degrees

Why? No idea but it is

fredley

2:15 PM

0 = freezing (literally). 100 = boiling (literally).

@KevinvanderVelden 32? What a stupid number

OrigamiRobot

Sep 5 '13 at 15:36, by OrigamiRobot

Imperial has a better resolution, which I can appreciate.

Mechanical Loon

@fredley 0 in Fahrenheit is the coldest some guy could make it in his lab at the time. 100 is the body temperature of the normal human (but he misestimated so 100 is actually a fever).

It makes perfect sense.

OrigamiRobot

Sep 5 '13 at 15:39, by OrigamiRobot

in my dream temperature scale, 0 would be freezing and 100 would be a reasonably agreed upon "hot"

fredley

@MechanicalLoon So sensible

Eon Rusted du Plessis

78F here today

fredley

2:16 PM

@OrigamiRobot Resolution is irrelevant, since there are number between the numbers

Arperum

@EonRustedduPlessis And now in a sensible C?

fredley

15.5 is a number

5pike

@MechanicalLoon No, it really does not

fredley

15.52 is also a number

5pike

It's just some arbitrary thing.

Kevin van der Velden

2:17 PM

@MechanicalLoon "Well we picked the 0 on the crappy equipment we have and we were wrong about the 100, it's perfectly reasonable, right?"

Eon Rusted du Plessis

26 C

Mechanical Loon

@fredley 15.52 is a pain in the ass to say out loud, though.

Eon Rusted du Plessis

or 14 bananas

Mechanical Loon

So higher resolution is better.

@OrigamiRobot high five

Kevin van der Velden

@MechanicalLoon meh, if you need resolution you're going to write it down because you also need certainty

fredley

2:17 PM

@MechanicalLoon So is 59.936

Q: Understanding last hitting and freezing a lane

Every champion is going to be different in the last-hitting department, depending on their auto attack speed and animation, their attack damage, if they're ranged or melee, ect. This much I know. What I don't understand and have a hard time grasping is when I last hit, when I hit a champion, an...

@MechanicalLoon It's -11F here, which is -24C

Mechanical Loon

@Powerlord Yeah, I heard that the ridiculous cold is centered kind of near Wisconsin, which is closer to you.

Powerlord

2:20 PM

This is funny, work has a special time code for yesterday's "snow day"

FAE

@KevinvanderVelden lmao

RedRiderX

@MechanicalLoon And it stretches all the way to Eastern Canada.

Mechanical Loon

It's way too cold out today here, so I don't want to ever go somewhere colder than this.

Eon Rusted du Plessis

@Arperum IDK :3 Im not a Meteorologist. I am a master debater

Arperum

I don't get the weather of lately. Half of America is freezing to death, Uk is drowning in more rain than usual, spain is having winds like crazy, and Belgium is having a warm winter.

RedRiderX

2:22 PM

@Powerlord With the wind it's like -31C here

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum climate change, stuff 's fucked up and shit

5pike

It's a pretty dry and warm winter here. I like it

Mechanical Loon

gamesdonequick.com is down :(

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Clearly.

Eon Rusted du Plessis

Cape Town had a drizzle yesterday. mid summer. and its a winter rainfall climate here >_>

Arperum

2:23 PM

@MechanicalLoon For more then an hour now.

5pike

@MechanicalLoon go to twitch

Powerlord

@RedRiderX With the wind it's like -33F here. Which is -36C.

Mechanical Loon

@5pike I am at work; just wanted to check the schedule.

Powerlord

(and by "it's like" I mean "I'm quoting the radio weatherman from 20 minutes ago")

RedRiderX

@Powerlord Dang

5pike

2:23 PM

@MechanicalLoon Ah, Ok. I can tell you what currently runs, if you want to know.

RedRiderX

Well the wind is piling the snow up on the windows so that should provide some insulation soon.

Mechanical Loon

@5pike I'm more interested in what's going to be run when I get home from work :P

@RedRiderX Where are you again?

Q: How to have rumble support in Mupen64Plus?

Since the native OUYA controllers unfortunately lack force feedback, I'd like to buy either a wired or wireless XBOX360 or PS3 controller (or any other that I can then use on both the OUYA and my PC). But before I waste money on something that costs me my summer vacation to get working (if it's p...

It's so cold out today. You people who live in Saskatchewan/Manitoba are insane.

Are you one of those?

RedRiderX

@MechanicalLoon I'm not quite that insane no.

5pike

@MechanicalLoon Oh, found a cached version of the schedule.

Arperum

@kalina Poor @Wipqozn, @kalina is murdering all of his family.

Frank

Good morning, Bridge

RedRiderX

2:26 PM

People outside of Canada think Canada is really freaking cold. People inside Canada think the Prairies are really freaking cold.

Powerlord

@Lazers Avoid the wireless Xbox 360 controllers as they require a special dongle to work on the PC and likely don't work on the Ouya because of it.

5pike

@MechanicalLoon Cached schedule

Frank

> -27°C
Feels like -35

Powerlord

Also, people actually use the Ouya?

Frank

Huh. Was colder the last couple of days.

fredley

2:26 PM

Much problem, very Python. Wow.

Arperum

@5pike Kinda wrong paste there.

Kevin van der Velden

@RedRiderX People in the Prairies are like "Hmm nice weather to go for a swim"

5pike

@Arperum I know

Jason Berkan

@RedRiderX I lived in Yellowknife for a winter. That was cold.

Mechanical Loon

@5pike Thanks!

RedRiderX

2:27 PM

@JasonBerkan Well the people that live in Northern Canada just aren't even human anymore. :P

Jason Berkan

@RedRiderX Though the people in Yellowknife, when they found out I was from the prairies, would say - "you'll be OK, then"

RedRiderX

@JasonBerkan Heh

Arperum

@Frank 5 stars doesn't happen much on your morning wish.

Frank

@Arperum No, it doesn't.

I guess since @OrigamiRobot isn't here to throw grumpiness everywhere, people are happier.

Arperum

@Frank Search tells me it's only the third time.

RedRiderX

2:29 PM

Crunchyroll's ads are the weirdest thing ever.

OrigamiRobot

@Frank I am here and I am grumpy.

That has nothing to do with your lies.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Well, then I have no idea as to why that got five stars.

Powerlord

So, I see AT&T Wireless has launched a program that does exactly what the Network Neutrality movement was trying to prevent.

FEichinger

For fuck's sake, it's Winter, why is there sun in my face?

OrigamiRobot

@Frank Because people like highlighting your wrongness.

kalina

2:32 PM

even users with >10k rep use "alot"

tut tut

OrigamiRobot

It's like when we star GnomeSlice when he says things like "I'm polite"

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina they're just doing their job to safe an endangered species! Stop poaching the poor alot!

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot We also star him when he says things like "I'm an idiot", so that's kinda giving mixed signals.

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger I didn't say we only star wrongness.

FEichinger

@OrigamiRobot mixed signals

OrigamiRobot

2:34 PM

It's not mixed at all.

It's perfectly consistent.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Your face is mixed.

85 minutes until hometime!

5pike

@Arperum same

Frank

I'm already at home!

And have no intention of going anywhere else today.

Arperum

@Frank No fair.

OrigamiRobot

@Frank Yea but you're probably wearing pants anyway because you're a monster.

Frank

2:38 PM

@OrigamiRobot I'm wearing pajamas. Does that count?

Eon Rusted du Plessis

@kalina and a lot of people use #swag and #yolo. Guess "a lot" is too much to ask for.

OrigamiRobot

@Frank No

Frank

So I'm not a monster. Yay!

Yuki

@Frank "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster."

2:41 PM

@Yuki But that Urugaan armor set is just so comfy!

OrigamiRobot

@Frank You lie about mornings so why should I believe you're not lying about pants?

Yuki

"And if you gaze long enough into the maw of the Deviljho, he will bite your face off."

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Ah, but I don't lie about mornings.

OrigamiRobot

You say they are good when they are not. That's called lying.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot You think they are not good. I think they are.

That's not lying, that's a disagreement.

OrigamiRobot

2:43 PM

No, they are objectively not. You're even lying to yourself.

It's sad, really.

You need help.

This is a safe place.

Well, maybe not safe.

But it is certainly a place.

kalina

pants are awesome but I think walking around with no pants on is a little uncivilised, you should always have pants on

take your trousers off if you must

FEichinger

@kalina American pants, dear.

kalina

but anymore than that is unreasonable

RedRiderX

Hmm as I'm watching more of SAO past the ep14 fiasco I'm beginning to question my life choices...

@Frank Does it improve?

Yuki

@RedRiderX You should drop that try jQuery.

Frank

2:45 PM

@RedRiderX Improve in what way?

Eon Rusted du Plessis

@EonRustedduPlessis alot does exist

I mean the really weird/creepy love quadrangle thing?

Does it get less weird/creepy?

kalina

Arperum

@EonRustedduPlessis alot lives here

Yuki

2:46 PM

@EonRustedduPlessis Well, an alot is an imaginary creature, so I guess it doesn't exist, if you're stringent on the definition of existing.

FEichinger

@kalina I have to point it out: any more*

OrigamiRobot

@FEichinger buuuurn

kalina

@FEichinger jokes on you, anymore is a word

FEichinger

@kalina BUT IT'S WRONG IN THAT CONTEXT.

any more requests anymore requests Are these two the same? It seems that "any more requests" is grammatically correct while "anymore requests" is not. Am I right? Why are they different?

Eon Rusted du Plessis

Eon Rusted du Plessis

@EonRustedduPlessis You don't what?

You don't anything.

Arperum

@FEI The association is getting strong isn't it.

FEichinger

@Arperum No, that image formed in my head completely on its own this time. :P

OrigamiRobot

This page is called "Best Horror Movies of 2013" and the first movie on the list is World War Z. Either this is a terrible list or there were no good horror movies in 2013.

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot Possibly both.

5pike

2:55 PM

@OrigamiRobot Both

Yuki

In fact, it's very likely it's both.

Arperum

@FEichinger It keeps forming in my head too, I got rid of the terrible one though.

"@kalina looks edible" is what I read

I'm going to go back to editing LoL questions I think
