Q: Where are the underwear?

I have been around South Park hunting for the underwear as a side quest...Yes underwear...I have 4 of 5 and cannot find the last one. Anyone know where I can find these sets of drawers? Pretty sure I found one in my own house if that helps any, along with at cartman's house.

Arperum

14:09

@OrigamiRobot seems completely perfectly legit.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I read "superstars" as "hipsters" somehow but it made the whole thing even better.

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria That would be really funny.

@Arperum This is a real thing on the website for the local gun shop/range

StrixVaria

Ugh reading books is so slow. I want to know what happens, but I want to actually experience it by reading and not just read a summary because that's the worst.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot ... okay. backs away slowly

Frank

@OrigamiRobot "It's all commission based, so we expect you to work 12-16 hour days."

Origami Robot

14:11

@StrixVaria I read the summary to see if the book is worth a proper reading.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot ...what constitutes "industry leading salary" for a gun shop...clerk or whatever they're hiring

StrixVaria

@Frank How far are you in Words of Radiance? I know you read crazy fast.

Arperum

@BenBrocka Not a clerk, a superstar!

Frank

@StrixVaria About 100 pages or so.

Didn't read at all yesterday.

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka Also, they might not care about what you've done before, but I sure do.

StrixVaria

14:12

Ah, I'm 33% of the way through (kindle, so I don't know how many pages that is but it's more than 100).

Frank

@StrixVaria Seeing as how there's 1100 pages, that's definitely further than me.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot past performance does not necessarily predict future results, so why learn about it in any way, shape or form?

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka Granted, I'm pretty sure they won't hire any convicted felons, but this is just weird and uncomfortable.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot It would not surprise me in the slightest if a gun shop hired convicted felons to be honest

badp

@OrigamiRobot Convicted felons? More like gun professionals!

Ben Brocka

14:16

BOOOO I thought newegg had a special sale on the 1TB SSD I was looking at. It's the 500GB version. For only $7 less than Amazon has it. Boo I say

Frank

@BenBrocka Minimum wage + 0.02

badp

0.02 per second?

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden Pretty sure they're more interested in staying in business than whatever cheap labor they would get from that.

I'm not an expert, but I'd guess hiring a felon is one fo the fastest ways to lose your FFL.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot like that's ever checked (in some states)

Unionhawk

@badp No, minimum wage + 0.02 (unitless)

badp

14:18

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden There are routine inspections by BATFE.

StrixVaria

@Frank I just want to know all the things.

Kevin van der Velden

Kevin van der Velden

Jup, sequal to alloy of law, sequal to steelheart, this one and another I think

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden Ok, definitely looking forward to the Allow of Law sequel.

Kevin van der Velden

Also another Reckoner sequal and another Legion sequal, both of which I haven't read yet

Origami Robot

I need to get more than 10 pages into the 2nd Mistborn book.

StrixVaria

@KevinvanderVelden He needs to stop writing things that are not Stormlight Archives.

@KevinvanderVelden Steelheart was pretty good.

Haven't read Alloy of Law yet.

Kevin van der Velden

Oh no wait, reckoners I've read, that's steelheart

Unionhawk

Oh good, @KevinvanderVelden changed his avatar to something that kinda looks a little bit not really like @Arperum's, thus solidifying that they're the same person in my head (yes I know they're totally different, but, similar colors when you look at the tiny picture)

Kevin van der Velden

It was pretty good but I saw (half of) the plot twist coming halfway through the book

Mad Scientist

@StrixVaria I doubt that will happen, though I think I read somewhere that he plans to keep the delay between 2 & 3 much shorter than it was between 1 & 2

@MadScientist I think the extra-long delay had a lot to do with WoT, which is over.

Arperum

@Unionhawk Why does everyone confuse us? First @OrigamiRobot who connects our voices to the wrong person, and now this.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot I probably recognize no one's voice anymore with how long I've been gone from mumble

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum but I now have a happy dragon as an avatar!

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Even though we sound completely different.

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka Right now in my mind, you sound exactly like @Frank.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Since I have no clue how either of them sounds, I am willing to accept that.

Ben Brocka

In minecraft with push to talk it's not a problem at all

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk What's a laptop have to do with it?

Unionhawk

True.

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot internal laptop speakers will directly vibrate the mic. Plus laptops have crap mics

Unionhawk

14:38

I had a headset once. But then it broke. I was that guy once.

Origami Robot

I've never had a headset. I don't like them.

Garan

I used to have a headset like you, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Unionhawk

I wasn't particularly fancy. Just a cheapish Logitech

Ben Brocka

I always wear headphones for use with the mic, I prefer to use my Yeti mic lately, especially now that I found it doesn't have to be right in front of me (and in front of the keyboard)

Unionhawk

Unionhawk

This guy. That's what I've got (broken) at home.

Origami Robot

What is the purpose of the ear-things swiveling like that?

Unionhawk

It's not especially comfortable overall.

When you get used to it, it's fine

But... In general... it's not the greatest

Kevin van der Velden

I've got this thing, it's pretty nice but so many cables to plug in

Also it's really damn heavy

Arperum

I got this, well, some variation of it, since my cabling is slightly different.

Ben Brocka

14:47

@OrigamiRobot those aren't for swiveling I think, it's one of those weird horizontal ones that sit over your ears and around the back of your head

Wipqozn

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, that is nice. also, that's the point of the swiveling/flip up earcups

So you can just use one if you want

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko That makes the least sense to me

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Really? Why's that?

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko Because wearing normal headphones only half on is way more comfortable than flipping one side out.

Kevin van der Velden

14:57

@3ventic chat isn't working, cause while I'm chatting I cant work

MBraedley

@OrigamiRobot It depends on the model. Some are more comfortable than others.

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Oh, yeah. I like ones where I can shift one of the earcups up and back

And they'll still stay on

My current ones won't do that :(

Origami Robot

@MBraedley If they're flip out, you still have more pressure on less surface area.
