@Yuki It's almost like Apocalypse Elmo!
@DavidM That image is mostly disturbing.
What game is that from?

Q: Please stop adding chat notifications when I'm actually just using mobile

fredleyRegardless of the actual functionality of mobile chat, one thing that really bugs me is that if I do chat on mobile, somehow the supernoticollider thinks that I need to have every single message I have received while using mobile chat as a notification, as if I'd been away. Please stop doing t...

@fredley That's what the "mention" button thingy is for.
Tap it to dismiss the notification.
@FEichinger But that is not on mobile, is it?
@fredley The "mention" button is only on mobile.
I don't see anywhere else unless I'm using mobile chat.
@fredley Yes, on mobile. On mobile only, in fact. Orange-ish button, if I'm not mistaken.
@Yuki Oh. I've never seen it. In which case this is a UX problem.
@FEichinger What is this wizardry?
19:05
@fredley On the desktop it is called desktop notification (at least on Mac OS and Safari it is . . .)
@fredley I saw it but I never would have thought to tap it to dismiss. Still a UX problem.
New games added to Humble Bundle
Ok just saw it
Wtf
How is that an obvious thing
Mobile chat is the worst
Nothing about mobile chat is "obvious".
But the feature does exist.
TOKI TORI 2!
UGH NOW I NEED TO BUY IT
19:06
@GnomeSlice Have Hoard, have Reus. Kinda iffy on the others.
@GnomeSlice 2+ is fantastic, I have it on Wii U. It's a big change from 1. The 2D art is great, and the open endedness is kinda neat in a puzzler
@Yuki Surgeon Sim is hilarious. Toki Tori 2 is where it's at.
Surgeon sim sounds fun.
@BenBrocka You're not helping me save my money.
I have Toki Tori on the Wii and I loved it
I played it with my dad
He beat a bunch of levels while I was at school
I was annoyed
Is it anything like Adult Swim's Amateur Surgeon?
19:07
2 plays a lot more differently than I'd have expected. Really glad though
Ping me
For science
@fredley Hello.
@fredley
MeatStare @fredley
Also TT2+ has this easter egg:
19:08
@fredley Now ping me back, so I can take a screenshot.
@BenBrocka BLUGH
I should stop spending money...

Q: Can trusted users be trusted to suggest tag synonyms without a score of 5 in a tag? (on smaller sites, not Stack Overflow)

FlykThis has been asked before but I feel the original question was more focussed on Stack Overflow than the Stack Exchange network at large. Related: Can we allow 7.5K users to suggest tag synonyms without a score of 5 in the tag? Since there are now a lot of sites in the network and many of the...

@FEichinger wtf I have never ever seen that in mobile chat
19:11
It's relatively new.
any usa user here?
no
nobody here presently is from the USA
not a single person
@kalina Pretty sure a lot of people are.

Q: Mobile chatting doesn't clear pings

Madara UchihaI've been chatting from mobile today (with my Galaxy SIII), seems like when people ping me, it doesn't matter whether I send messages, or even specifically ping them back, the notification doesn't get cleared, and it eventually reaches my inbox with a flurry of 14 inbox notifications. I've rea...

certainly not @GnomeSlice
19:11
@Wandang What is usa?
@StrixVaria United States?
closes @fredley as dupe for great justice
I am from the United States.
@USA
10 hours ago, by Wandang
@USA are firefighter car alarms different from police?
burn him! Quickly! Leave no evidence!
@Wandang they're called sirens
19:12
@Wandang Yes.
@Wandang They are called sirens, and it differs from place to place.
Firetrucks tend to also constantly blare their horns, which have a distinctive sound.
i was wondering because of breaking bad episode 1
There is no standardized siren for either in the United States, but the Fire Engines tend to be louder and wail more.
there is no joke then ?!
you can here sirens in the distance

Q: Minecraft 1.7.2 Won't Work

user66715I've never played Minecraft, I just downloaded it tonight. I tried playing single player, but when I typed in the name of the world and clicked "Create New World", the launcher closed. I've tried it several times, still nothing. Any help, guys?

but americans must know which one it is
@Wandang Yes, you can typically tell one from another. But, there is not one specific sound across the entire country.
as an european i did not know until it is resolved. but it seemed like that was the point since the character did not know either
activates Toki Tori 2 steam key from Humble, instantly receives discount coupon in Steam for Toki Tori 2
then the scene is just staged for entertainment
at least for americans ?
19:15
@Wandang I'm not certain I understand the question
To what are you referring?
THE SIRENS, MAN, THE SIRENS
well ok i will say it more clear. since it is episode 1 of season 1 it will not spoiler much i guess?
He is asking, in New Mexico, Albuquerque specifically, do the police, DEA, fire service, etc all have different sirens
the character hears sirens from the distance and believes it is the police. at the end it is in fact a siren of the firefighters
@Wandang OOOOOOHHHH Breaking Bad.
That was the part I didn't get.
19:16
because in Breaking Bad there was no possibility of them abusing artistic license for a scene
2
In the distance it could be hard to tell.
Doppler effect and all that.
@DavidM the german sounds are pretty different for that purpose
But, his emotional state was such that any sirens would freak him out
Not sure if the DEA would use sirens.
artistic license
19:18
Sirens are mostly for letting people know you're there and get them out of the way.
I would think the DEA wouldn't want dealers to know a bust is about to happen.
maybe they would
in a specific episode where they turn on the sirens
even though up until that point there were no sirens
@Yuki They will, but they turn them on at the last second.
dont spoiler me bb now!
-_-
@Wandang Walt dies at the end
i am at season 4 e1
19:19
bb
@kalina generical spoileranswer
Hopefully that means 'breaking bad'
@GnomeSlice no busting balls
ofc breaking bad...
@Wandang he kills Saul
Well I dunno, you could have been calling @kalina 'bb'
19:20
big brother
@kalina whatever you are freaking me out bye
@kalina And eats his liver.
@Wandang and then seven days later, the person watching the episode dies
God, Comms Room is so weird.
@kalina And, the ring is a cap on the top of the well . . .
19:21
@DavidM and then suddenly it's 1985
but not as we know it
Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be looking at chat flags while at work...
@MBraedley Probably a good idea.
@kalina And a horribly disfigured man with knives on his hands comes after you while you sleep
Darth Vader is Yoda's father.

@OrigamiRobot They were actually roommates for a while . . .
19:23
Damn. The collector's edition of Lightning Returns will cost me ~$100.
Snape sleeps with Dumbledore
Dumbledore was really Voldermort
I hate that every quarter, my Chase card makes me click some stupid link to activate the cash back thinger
Anakin Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow
JUST SHUT UP AND GIVE ME YOUR MONEY
19:24
@BenBrocka In book 7 it was 3-way with Hermione, Dobby, and Hagrid.
@OrigamiRobot SKYCAPTAIN!
I love that movie!
@Sterno I hope that is every 3 months, and not every $0.25!
@Sterno I can't see any reason for thato ther than hoping you forget to claim it
@BenBrocka Which does indeed happen.
The reapers are really a method of preventing organic life from being wiped out by sentient machines, by wiping them out with sentient machines.
19:27
Jeez, giant xkcd, why not?
@kalina Dial it back, that's far too pointless to be believable!
giant xkcd is best xkcd
Trinity's death was the worst movie death.
@Yuki Why not giant Zoidberg?
XKCD with bacon is best XKCD

19:28
ok so I have a question
the universe is infinite right?
@kalina You're finite.
with an infinite number of universes inside it
each one playing out choices that were made
so...
@kalina Nope.
@Sterno Except she didn't die. Or am I blocking out those movies incorrectly?
@kalina You probably want to ask that to @LoganM.
19:28
It's finite.
Who was phone?
Just really fucking big.
where is the universe where the Mass Effect 3 ending didn't suck?
@MBraedley The latter.
@kalina Not this universe.
19:29
@kalina Weell ... technically ... no ... But let's let a physicist answer that one.
@Sterno Yeah, in the latter. Neo brings her back to life.
can you imagine, somewhere, there is a universe where the Mass Effect 3 ending was a life changing event
I can't wait until the universe expands so far that the distance between any two points is infinite. That'll be super cool.
the pinnacle of human creation
@kalina Yeh ... this is too deep for you.
19:30
how rude
@FEichinger How rude
@kalina WTF
...inb4
@Sterno Uhh...
2deep4u
@Yuki DON'T QUESTION MY PSEUDOSCIENCE
19:31
@kalina Oh, I'm terribly and deeply sorry.
@Sterno I mean, distance between two points can be infinite if aforementioned points aren't fixed, I guess.
@Sterno I accepted that statement. Then I read it again.
But a pair of fixed points is always separated by a finite distance. Whatever, I'm not a physicist.
The universe is a toric shape. It's basically a GIANT BAGEL that folds over into itself infinitely.
if e=mc², where do jelly babies come from?
19:33
Giant bagel universe drooling
And, if it is expanding at an infinite rate, no two points can ever truly be fixed.
@DavidM There's evidence that the universe is flat, not curved
@BenBrocka The hard part is finding a knife big enough to spread the cream cheese.
@BenBrocka I'd like some giant smoked salmon universe on my giant bagel universe.
@MBraedley You're punching holes in my crackpot theories.
19:34
@MBraedley yes but some crazy people believe that the world is round! Silly people...
2
@DavidM You'd just need a giant knife universe.
@Sterno Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25 and gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. The bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. He decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself. Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid $9; bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. And $27 + $2 = $29 so what happened to the remaining $1?
@Yuki Imagine how big the plate universe must be!
@OrigamiRobot Ohhhh this one was explained in a Mickey Mouse weekly issue magazine thing.
The missing dollar riddle is a famous riddle that involves an informal fallacy. The riddle Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself. Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid $9; bringing the tota...
You've gotta change the wording to make it hard, man.
19:36
Silly @DavidM, you don't eat bagels on plates. That's what giant hand universes are for.
@Sterno Why?
@Yuki I live in a MUCH more formal universe than you!
@Yuki I thought that was foreheads, but okay.
A) The riddle is extremely old.
B) It wasn't just for you.
C) You are terrible at riddles.
Here's a riddle for you
What happens in 7 days?
19:38
@OrigamiRobot well of course he got it, they're both really old
@OrigamiRobot A and C can be combined for "You are extremely old."
@badp A week?
@badp payday
@GnomeSlice Yes, what happens in a week?
@OrigamiRobot Riddle me this
2
19:38
@badp I'm going to win the lottery.
@badp 7 days
Which astounds me 'cause I didn't buy a ticket.
@kalina As with any riddle, there's only one correct answer I'm going for, and this is not it.

Q: Do Tallbird nests reappear after being burned?

user1306322I noticed that an empty Tallbird nest will be reinhabited with a new Tallbird after a few days, which will eventually spawn an egg. But do the nests also appear? I haven't had enough luck to figure it out. In case a nest accidentally burns to ashes, will it reappear after some time along with a ...

@Sterno on a Tuesday?
19:39
@kalina Freedom is wonderful.
@Lazers God I hope not! I hate those things!
everybody in here today has been acting awfully strange
have you all contracted a virus?
@Sterno I don't care about that at all.
has the NSA replaced you all with robots?
@OrigamiRobot No one does.
19:40
@kalina As a matter of fact, the Bridge flu is going about.
has the NSA created a replica bridge and put me in it by myself?
@kalina I was already a robot, so they just left me be.
@kalina As for myself, you might just need to wait 7 days to know.
has the world gone crazy overnight?
@kalina So it wasn't crazy?
19:40
@badp You're finally going home? :P
well true
@DavidM I like hatching baby Tallbirds, so there's that.
@badp That's like the old one: How do you keep an idiot in suspense?
@FEichinger Nope!
@Sterno At least one person obviously does.
19:40
@badp sigh ... 'twas too good to be true anyway.
@DavidM Turn page for answer / Turn page for answer
The Big Rip is a cosmological hypothesis first published in 2003, about the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the matter of the universe, from stars and galaxies to atoms and subatomic particles, is progressively torn apart by the expansion of the universe at a certain time in the future. According to the hypothesis, the scale factor of the universe and with it all distances in the universe will become infinite at a time in the future. It is important to note that the possibility of sudden singularities and crunch or rip singularities at late times occur only for hypothetical matter...
@badp Same idea: "I'll tell you later . . . "
That took me forever to find because I couldn't remember the name of it.
@DavidM but really, there's something up in 7 days.
19:42
@badp no there isn't
@kalina Yes there is.
@badp There always is.
you're just doing a terrible interpretation of Wipqozn
I'm not quitting chat in the middle of my sentence
I'm just not going to start typing that sentence to begin with!
@badp ... Give it an hour.
19:43
hence, bad impersonation
you went down the lazy "skip half the steps" route
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
@kalina That's my favorite!
@kalina Fine, then: absolutely nothing of relevance will start in 7 days, and I advise that you aggressively ignore it in all of its entirety.
@SaintWacko Old school! Pulling out the Lewis Carrol . . .
@SaintWacko The real question is "who is a raven like a writing desk?".
19:44
who was raven?
...but that's just for kalina, because other people should get interested and involved and stuff.
@DavidM Of course! Got an answer?
@SaintWacko To my knowledge, there isn't one.
@Wipqozn didn't ever actually have an announcement did he?
@badp OK THANKS
19:45
@DavidM Maybe not officially, but there are some good ones
A writing desk is a rest for pens and a raven is a pest for wrens.
@kalina Never pay any mind to what starts in 7 days
> "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."
I have another riddle I love, but I can't remember it, or what book I read it in
@badp I won't!
@SaintWacko What's the difference between a midget thief and a case of chlamydia?
19:45
@SaintWacko Also, Poe wrote on both.
@kalina There will be no thing to be interested by and you shouldn't try looking for one.
your insistence that I don't pay attention probably means it's like a moderator election starting in 7 days
@Sterno Observations indicate that the rate of expansion of the universe is decreasing, which in and of itself does not contradict the Big Rip, but suggest against it.
@DavidM Hmmmm
@kalina Sssshhhh! You're not supposed to care anymore.
19:46
@kalina Too bad there is not going to be such a thing anymore and you should continue paying no mind to it.
@SaintWacko One's a cunning runt . . .
@DavidM groans
@MBraedley I thought the common theory was that the rate of expansion is increasing?
@badp Thanks ... now she'll jump around in excitement for the rest of the week. Stop teasing her with that!
@Yuki I require scientific evidence
19:48
@Yuki I could be wrong. It was a YouTube video that discussed it (Veritasium, Minute Physics, or 60 Symbols I think, can't remember which).
@FEichinger She promised she would pay no mind to what is going to start in 7 days, may her guess be right or wrong.
@MBraedley DON'T QUESTION MY SOMEONE ELSE'S PSEUDOSCIENCE
@DavidM ಠ_ಠ
@badp I reiterate: Stop teasing her with that!
@DavidM Arnold Schwarzenegger has a big one.
Michael J. Fox has a small one.
Madonna doesn't have one.
The Pope has one but doesn't use it.
Clinton uses his all the time.
Mickey Mouse has an unusual one.
Liberace never used his on women.
Jerry Seinfeld is very, very proud of his.
Cher claims that she took on 3.
We never saw Lucy use Desi's.
What is it?
This is similar to my favorite
19:48
@badp I didn't promise
@SaintWacko Penis.

@badp I won't!
@SaintWacko Last name?
@GnomeSlice ...
@badp not a promise
19:49
@GnomeSlice gasp I have no idea why you would think that. Not the answer
Any scientific theory which includes terms such as "phantom energy" is cool with me.
@DavidM Yes!
@kalina a legally binding contract
@Mana What.
@badp nope
19:49
@Mana He was attempting to answer a riddle
@Sterno space magic
@SaintWacko A last name?
I noticed!
> Cher claims that she took on 3.
... Last names?
No I was questioning the validity of that statment
But I'm not that familiar with Cher.
@RedRiderX Greg Allman, Sonny Bono, and someone else.

Q: How can I access the clothing boutique in Pokemon X and Y?

MarissaI wanted to get some more clothes to wear in Pokemon X, but when I walked into the clothing shop, the lady said, "May I help you? Oh, you are not as stylish as you could be! I'm sorry to tell you this, but could you consider trying other things in Lumiose city before coming back again?" and then ...

Woot I finally figured out how to do that! :)
19:51
Quit it
@FEichinger HERS WAS NEXT, MINE WAS NOT!
@kalina ... Now you put me into an awkward position.
Stupid question, how do you self quote like that?
19:51
