@kalina I thought the standing-desk craze was gone ...

fredley

@5pike Yeah, it's all about treadmill desks now

5pike

@fredley Where the desk surface is a treadmill or where you stand on one?

fredley

@5pike You walk on one

I'm still waiting for hamster ball desks

We just need to work out wireless power

5pike

12:17

@KevinvanderVelden how about batteries powered by the motion?

Kevin van der Velden

@5pike plausible!

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden We worked out wireless power a hundred years ago

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley jeaaah no

Wireless power to power a PC + multiple monitors? nope

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden Well, electromagnetic induction should work, but in doubt you don't even need as much. We worked out reliable electricity transfer for electric motors and generators, this is applicable.

Q: At what point does arena become better value than boosters?

Imagine I have 300 gold in Hearthstone. I have two choices on how to spend it: 2 Arena entries 3 boosters If we ignore the time spent in the arena (both from a time spent and fun perspective) and focus only on the rewards, how many wins do I need to be able to get before arena becomes more pr...

@fredley Tesla Tower?

fredley

@5pike yup

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley yeah, received power goes down by the square of the distance away from it

Not practical

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden You're talking about a hamster ball desk. When did practicality come into this?

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka electromagnetic induction works at short range, at a reasonably fixed distance

@fredley when I wanted to actually use it!

it's a hamster ball desk! The desk bit would be on wheels inside the ball so you can walk and have it stay upright

5pike

@fredley “Unable to overcome his financial burdens, he was forced to close the laboratory in 1905.”

God damnit

fredley

@5pike Do you not know the story of Tesla?!

5pike

@fredley Yeah, I know it

kalina

@fredley is it a structure type in command & conquer red alert?

yep?

thought so!

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden Wait ... you want the hamster ball to move around town?

fredley

@kalina And in the original C&C!

Kevin van der Velden

12:25

@MartinSojka YES! WHY ELSE WOULD YOU WANT A GIANT HAMSTER BALL?

Also, short range is defined to be in the centimeter range

5pike

Kevin van der Velden

In this context

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden Perverse sadism?

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina best Tesla cannon is still the Eiffel tower

5pike

@KevinvanderVelden That was a pretty cool mission

Kevin van der Velden

12:26

@MartinSojka hmm, side benefits. But no I wanted one for myself

Martin Sojka

If the ball doesn't have to move around (just roll), there's very little distance between it and whatever it is lying on.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka true, but I don't think inductive coupling scales up very well

Q: Changing WordPress URL results in 404

Changing WordPress URL results in 404. I've tried basic suggestions like editing config.php myself of allowing rewrite. First time changing URL worked, but page had text only- no theme, just plain text without formatting. I can't decide what to do.

Same guy, and that question at least sort of works

It's not fantastic, but there's a problem, and a thing being asked. It's probably a dupe, but that's fine, it's a question.

Arperum

@Unionhawk And it sound pretty vague.

Unionhawk

True, but I'm saying it doesn't have the inherent "Oh, this is a forum, right?" problems that all of the other questions posted by this user have.

@3ventic Well a lot of desktop games are bad too :P

3ventic

Yeah, but there are a lot of good games on desktop

I've only seen two games on mobile that I can play for longer than a few minutes

Mad Scientist

@3ventic The mobile versions of Hearthstone are not out yet, or?

the platform also arguably had longer to develop.

The main issue is that most people don't take people who program as a hobby to customer service/whatever else that requires little to no experience

and programming isn't a thing you hire to do just for the summer..

@Yuki I'm pretty sure you shouldn't watch any movie again ever.

@Yuki From what I've heard, it's nothing fancy, popcorn movie.

Yuki

@Arperum My only addiction problem with movies has been and probably forever will be Frozen.

Unionhawk

14:14

He's addicted to Disney films

Arperum

@Yuki How's the third monitor coming along?

Yuki

@Unionhawk True, I have a minor problem with Disney films but once off is usually good for most of them.

Unionhawk

Which isn't really a bad thing unless there's one in theaters, since it's no additional cost money

Yuki

@Arperum Realized I probably won't be able to hook one up unless I find a weird ass-adapter.

My graphics card only has ~~one~~ two HDMI ports.

Arperum

@Yuki That's annoying.

Unionhawk

14:16

Or just get a better graphics card, obv

Yuki

@Unionhawk I only just bought this one last Black Friday.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuki got a display port? An adapter isn't that expensive anymore

Unionhawk

ALREADY OUTDATED

Mad Scientist

Make sure the GPU actually supports three displays at once, mine has three ports but still can't handle three displays at once

Yuki

@Unionhawk If I'm going to get another graphics card, I'll wait until AMD releases one with their new, fancy-schmancy tech (Mantle?).

Unionhawk

14:17

@mad that's hilarious

Is there a mismatch, like, 2 hdmi and a vga port? Or just, reasons?

David M

@Yuki I know you're serious. But . . . Good god man. (Though, wouldn't it be easier to get a tablet or something to play this movie on constant repeat.)

Unionhawk

I find the soundtrack to be sufficient, personally

Yuki

@DavidM Easier, yes. But I don't want to buy a tablet...

LessPop_MoreFizz

@5pike Yes but it has Bill Murray and John Goodman.

David M

@MadScientist That sounds like something that was either a manufacturing convenience (one platform for multiple chipsets), or something that was meant to be addressed by a later firmware update.

Mad Scientist

14:20

@Unionhawk Nvidia doesn't seem to support more than 2 monitors in many cards, don't know why.

Yuki

Considering I can't actually support a 3rd monitor as of this moment, it's also another way to soothe my addiction and not have to actually do anything ("Don't worry, I'll just get a third monitor eventually...").

David M

@Yuki I think it would be a lot less spendy!

5pike

@LessPop_MoreFizz Popcorn movie isn't a bad thing.

Yuki

Whereas I can probably go out and buy a tablet right now.

The third one is my TV, so it doesn't really matter much anyway

Q: Which Debuff Effects Stack/Interact?

There are five debuffs that exist in TF2 (that I can think of at the moment, that are player-caused and not Fear). They are: On Fire: you take damage over time. Jarate: You take Mini-Crit damage. Bleeding: Damage over time but not Fire. Milked: Getting hit causes the person hitting you to be...

team-fortress-2

Unionhawk

@pow is it illegal for meteorologists to expect wrong?

Yuki

@Lazers Milked and Jarate don't stack, do they?

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk yes. These weather magicians should get their act together!

Yuki

And I know Milk and Jarate cancel out Fire...

David M

@Powerlord Meteorology is about 2 steps removed from cutting open small animals and reading their entrails for omens.

That's why we still use the groundhog as our primary method of determining how long Winter will be . . .

Unionhawk

14:25

@yuki not necessarily, only if it's friendly milk or jarate while you're on fire

Yuki

Unionhawk

I'm pretty sure minicrit fire is a thing.

Yuki

@Unionhawk Now that you mention it, I remember that being a thing.

Powerlord

Everything but Jarate and Marked for Death stack there.

Yuki

New xkcd What-If?

Powerlord

14:29

Minicrit fire afterburn deals 4 damage per second instead of 3 (or 3 instead of 2 if the Pyro is using the Degreaser)

Pretty sure the same applies for Bleed damage

Yuki

So... who's going to post what @Powerlord said?

David M

@Yuki Ow. My head hurts.

Yuki

I don't remember healing off fire damage on a Milked person, but I'm not sure if that's because that never happens to me.

Ronan Forman

@Yuki The alt text for the last image is the best part of that page.

Yuki

@RonanForman Yeah, that was pretty funny.

Powerlord

14:32

"Would a Milked individual provide constant health to the player who caused them to burn/bleed?" <--Yes to this, btw, since Mad Milk gives health based on damage dealt

David M

@RonanForman HA! I didn't catch that!

5pike

@Yuki Cute

Unionhawk

@Powerlord So you can't take double minicrits, but other than that, every debuff stacks?

Yuki

@Powerlord Mind if I credit you on the answer?

Powerlord

@Unionhawk Right. Also, if you deal crit damage, you won't get extra damage if they're jarated either.

Yuki

14:42

I guess I'll take that as a "no"?

Unionhawk

What about milk and Concherer? Or is there just a "health restored by dealing damage" effect?

Wait they don't mention that forget I mentioned it.

Powerlord

Concherer doesn't restore health by dealing damage...

Oh wait, yes it does. Whoops

For some reason I was thinking Concherer healed over time while active.

Anyway, milk and Concheror both restore health based on the amount of damage dealt, so...
