Hurricane Sandy sucked so bad.
I lost power for 8 days.
Sometimes I'm just so happy to live in holland, where electricity is reliable, natural gas is cheap and reliable, etc
I was lucky. I never lost power.
@RonanForman Ping
And my apartment is fully electric, so I had no heat and no stove.
@KevinvanderVelden Natural gas . . . in Europe . . . cheap????
15:00
@fredley Pong
@KevinvanderVelden Europe gets so many government subsidies for gas.
@RonanForman Sent you a GC message
@DavidM I also live in New Jersey kind of near the shore.
@DavidM we're the second largest producer of it in europe, yeah it's cheap =p
@StrixVaria That'd do it. I live in CT, near the shore.
@KevinvanderVelden Ah. I thought you all got squeezed by Gazprom
I forgot about Royal Dutch Shell
user15026
The questioners suggestion was awful. Also wondering why you got a downvote.
@AshleyNunn Me, too
This one is dumb, but it got me 20 up votes.
user15026
Hahaha I just like that someone asked it!
@DavidM Dumber questions get more upvotes outside of Arqade too it seems

@fredley Yup
Interview in half an hour!
A fairly sizable portion of my rep comes from kinda dumb questions.

Q: Are there any advantages to having more than one character?

Lukas WarsitzI'm thinking about starting a twink in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The classsystem allows to level every class and every job with only one character. But I'm curious about it that there are so many slots to create more characters while you only really need one. Are there any benefits in...

is nervous
What are you interviewing for?
15:28
@fredley absolutely. Pretty annoying on UX
@KevinvanderVelden Programming job.
Sweet, good luck =p
@BenBrocka UX gets HN people piling in on 'interesting' questions
Like coffee machine or toilet door UX
It's like it's a revelation to them that users have experiences outside of webpages or apps.
@fredley yeah, sucks
Some of my top answers (well, one in particular) are on some pretty dumb questions.

now I've got the animaniacs song stuck in my head :/
15:44
@BenBrocka I took way too long to realize what was going on there
...is that a snorkel
> Spacedog is learning how to drive a space truck.
> Spacedog is very bad at driving a spacetruck.
> This is because Spacedog is a dog.

Q: SimCity 5 Crack for Origin Multiplayer

user15051Please Can you tell me. i have downloaded my simcity 5 from torrent site. I want to play it online and not offline so can you help me out? Is there any crack for It?

@Lazers poof
@Lazers Ah the good old type-out-4-line-comment-explaining-why-I-voted-to-close-only-to-find-a-mod-alrea‌​dy-deleted-it.
"Error posting comment: this doesn't exist anymore"
16:12
Basically yeah
I usually don't bother for stuff like that.
I usually don't either
but I felt nice today
That'll teach me to be nice.
Meh. Pirates are pirates. "Is there a crack for this" is so far beyond outside our scope, that it's pointless.
@John Yea, ya jerk!
@John Nobody outruns my mod lazers

Q: Too few servers in Battlefield 2?

marknixI recently tried battlefield 2 on my friend house and i loved it, I know it's pretty old but i had never played it before. The thing is, he has a pirated version, but I prefer to have my game collection on steam with original copies, so when I got home I bought it. But in my version, when i go t...

@Unionhawk Awwww @FEichinger was talking about my butt again :3

On the other hand, it is an EA game they're pirating, so maybe we should allow it
Because fuck EA

@SaintWacko No.
All I want to do is get to level 70 and then do all the bounties and rifts.
16:17
@GnomeSlice Traitor!
@SaintWacko No...
But I'm at work :(
@StrixVaria they are so fun O_o
THE MOST FUN
@StrixVaria Didn't the expansion just come out?
@GnomeSlice Yes and?
16:17
@spugsley Stop taunting me!
Level 70 seems awfully ambitious for a few days of playing, isn't it?
Most people started at 60.
@GnomeSlice We're already at lvl 60
I'm level 44 already with a new character.
@SaintWacko Oh.
@StrixVaria Go outside and play
16:18
@SaintWacko I CANT IT IS FUN
Wow, really?
Thank you for not approving that flag
Even I know that was dumb
@OrigamiRobot O_O
CC @StrixVaria @Frank @Fluttershy
DROOL
16:19
@OrigamiRobot CC @Chippies
@GnomeSlice Weirdest flag I've seen in a while.
@spugsley I am playing through the new story with my girlfriend, so I don't want to take any of my single player characters beyond the point we're at
So I can't really get to Adventure Mode
@StrixVaria In case I offended you, I was just joking when I said go outside and play.
@GnomeSlice Even if you weren't joking, I don't see how that could be offensive
@SaintWacko I do.
16:20
Unless you said it to someone who was allergic to sunlight
Or had no immune system
"Stop wasting your time playing D3 and go do something else you nerd"
@SaintWacko It's offensive because it heavily implies that I'm wasting my time and my life and that he knows what's best for me.
@StrixVaria ...
@StrixVaria That's not what I meant to convey, I apologize.
I suppose...
16:22
All I want to do is fawn over the expansion without derision.
@StrixVaria I'm sorry, I won't make jokes about it again.
Did you block me?
@GnomeSlice Thought about it.
@OrigamiRobot Oh... my... glob...
man, time flies so fast, I can't even remember what happened yesterday
NOTE THAT I DID NOT FIND THAT MYSELF
16:24
@OrigamiRobot Why is this so good?
Actually I thought yesterday was Sunday, and now suddenly it's Wednesday. Funny how that works out
I MERELY FOUND THE IMAGE
Wait, what got flagged?
@StrixVaria THE BASE DAMAGE IS RIDICULOUS
@John Never, ever be nice.
16:25
IT IS 10 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE LEVEL 60 VERSION
@OrigamiRobot My wife found a 2337 dps weapon yesterday. I don't think it's that ridiculous.
@Fluttershy Don't worry about it.
@GnomeSlice Well now I'm just going to worry about it more.
@Fluttershy @GnomeSlice told strix he was a horrible person and that he hopes horrible things happen to him for liking diablo 3.
It's possible I just made all fo that up.

16:27
@StrixVaria JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING MORE RIDICULOUS DOESN'T MEAN THIS ISN'T.

@StrixVaria Go outside and play
8 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
@StrixVaria Go outside and play
ALSO, WAS IT A 1-HANDER?
@Wipqozn BITCH
zeus damn it.
16:27
@GnomeSlice That was a dumb flag. o_o
Someone delete @GnomeSlice's message so it look like I posted faster.
@OrigamiRobot Yes.
@Fluttershy I could see how it could offend somebody.
Honestly I can see why it was flagged
I NEED IT
16:27
I was just joking, but it came out sounding mean.
I NEED ALL THE ITEMS
We could do without calling each other nolifers, huh?
@OrigamiRobot The point is that it's been about 1 day and we've probably barely started finding optimal items yet, and already seeing things with dps like that.
@badp Yes.
Also going outside is the worst.
There's bugs outside. It's horrible.
I think that means these kinds of items (while they are still good) aren't unusually good.

Gee, I wonder what inspired this.
@Wipqozn Not this time of year, thankfully.
I am terrified of bugs
@StrixVaria YOUR WIFE'S WEAPON HAS BOTH +%DMG AND +ATTACK SPEED
THE BASE DAMAGES ON THE TWO ARE EVERY CLOSE.
Got a logo? I will animate it for five bucks! http://www.fiverr.com/michaeldunfield/animate-your-logo-however-you-like--2
Can you guys do me a solid and retweet that
Mobile Oculus
@GnomeSlice fiverrrr tip: have upgrades
@fredley You can't until you sell at least 10 gigs.
Have something really basic for $5, but make the thing that's best value $10
16:32
That's the plan though.
@GnomeSlice oh
@fredley Yeah.
@GnomeSlice Portal. Definitely Portal
@SaintWacko DUH
@fredley Hey I've heard about this.
I went on Kickstarter, ended up backing something
standard
16:33
@fredley Which thing?
See, this is why we need the oculus spacedog.ko-opmode.com
@GnomeSlice Trigger bell
@fredley Googled. Boring.
My current bell is really annoyingly placed, keeps breaking, and a new one would be at least £10.
jk that actually sounds like a neat idea
Also a bell is a useful thing in London
I can piss off so many more people!
16:35
@StrixVaria ALSO, I FOUND OUT ITEMS IN WEB PROFILES DON'T SHOW THINGS THE MYSTIC CHANGED. IT SHOWS THE ORIGINAL ITEM.
Most recent KS thing I received is kickstarter.com/projects/745763505/…
@OrigamiRobot Hm, I hope they fix that
@OrigamiRobot That's dumb.
YES. YES IT IS.
Interview over!
Asked for 30% more than I was making before. Let's see how that works out.
@Frank good luck!
If they turn you down, just set their offices on fire.
16:37
I'm currently waiting on this and this and this
That'll teach'em!
@Wipqozn They take up an entire block, near as I can tell.
I have a 10 pointed star I want to rotate. Does anybody know how many degrees it has to rotate for the next point to be where the first one was
And they probably use flammable chemicals...
And I am currently tempted by this
16:38
like, how many degrees are between two points
@GnomeSlice 36
Should just be 360/10, unless I'm thinking it wrong
@SaintWacko sweet, thanks
Yeah, I didn't even think of that
16:41
@Frank seems legit
Apparently, Bela doesn't like the smell of coffee grounds.
@Frank smart cat

Q: What is the point of Nephalem Rifts?

StrixVariaI don't mean this in a subjective way. So far, my experience with Rifts has been fun, and I would keep doing them solely for that reason. What I mean, specifically, is what advantage do you get from playing Nephalem Rifts that wouldn't be available in other content? Is the drop rate better? Are ...

Q: Is there a way to loop/repeat DVD on the ps2?

RoarGIs there a repeat function for DVDs on the Playstation 2? I would like a DVD to loop until manually stopped.

17:01
Oooh, I can see vote counts on MSO.
@FEichinger GOOD JOB. YOU DESERVE IT.
> Dude your profile photo is a selfie
Godammit
...Yeah, my profile photo is totally a selfie
fuck
@FEichinger Is MSO separate from SO in its privileges?
@DavidM yes
@DavidM Yes.
Interesting.
17:21
MSO, unlike the other metas, has its own reputation system.
Is that because of the sheer volume?
No, it's because SO originally had no meta.
@GnomeSlice I'm not sure I see the problem.
And when MSO was added, it was just yet-another-site.
@GnomeSlice I'm so happy you stopped using picture of you where you looked high.
17:21
@Wipqozn Me too.
@GnomeSlice The teddy bear makes the photo.
@DavidM Teddy bears rock.
@DavidM I know right
Blonde chick Iw as trying to bang in college gave me that
She just showed up at my place with this giant bear
@GnomeSlice Emphasis on trying.
and I totally bombed the rest of the night
classic
17:24
@DavidM except my place was like an hour drive for her
and she just like showed up
with her sister
and then they tried to get me to smoke weed with them
And I just sat in the car like a huge nerd
To hang out with her "friend". Dude you lost that one.
She brought her sister . . . you thought she would put out with her sister there? Sisters are nature's cock block!
But I had already asked her out like a million times
and she kept saying no
@GnomeSlice Be honest, you thought you had a shot. You can admit it.
@DavidM Yeah fine
17:26
I used to be the mayor of Friendville.
I know ...
@FEichinger AND IT'S FOR MORE THAN JUST SO NOW
@OrigamiRobot Well, yeh, that's because SE staff only really care about SO when it comes to big scale changes ... But now I'm sounding bitter again.
(cc: @BenBrocka)
That said: six to eight weeks until the MSE/MSO split, remember six to eight weeks.
17:28
@FEichinger IT'S OK. STROKES HAIR
@OrigamiRobot NO.
Oh, are we cuddling @FEichinger now? I want some of that!
How I spent my morning. It's going to be a cutting board.
CC: @LessPop_MoreFizz
The most disgusting thing I've ever thought of ...
@DavidM I was blinded by two hot blondes
17:33
@GnomeSlice Yup ...
@GnomeSlice Back in college . . . I had one of those moments. My friend's girlfriend shows up with two hot chicks at our fraternity house. It was the beginning of the term, so it was me, and maybe one other guy there, plus the guy whose GF it was.
I walk into my room to find them hanging out because Shawn told them to hang out and meet me.
(Unusually kind of him, he's normally a dick.)
@Fluttershy Why. Now I'm going to have nightmares of facebooks in my games :(
Meanwhile, I had just drive 5 hours, and I was starving. So, instead of sticking around and chatting up the hot chicks, stupid me I went to get dinner.
By the time I got back, they were gone.
@DavidM lol
should have had them for dinner
D'Oh!
@DavidM ;_;
@DavidM that's hilarious
17:37
He sent them to my room because he wanted some "private time" with his chick.
@DavidM Pft, people cook with alochols all the time, including beers. That Irish Beer Shake sounds tasty actually the Blue Moon Beer Shake sounds disgusting just cause it has blue moon in it
@James Milk and beer sounds gross. I'm not sure if the blue moon has any though.
@DavidM Sooo where did you find these milkshakes??? :)
@James Ive cooked with beer before. No biggie.
@James Red Robin - National burger chain in the US
Hmm shall have to see if they are in this area
17:39
Where are you located?
0
Q: How different are the elf and human sides?

derobertI've just finished the Goth Kids quest, and my next quest is to pick a side. I'm curious how different the game plays for the two sides? In particular, my brother and I are both playing the game independently, and I'd like to know if we pick different sides, we'll be confused when talking to each...

@DavidM I don't get it.
@GnomeSlice Inhaled the burger instead of weed.
(Ate it really fast.)
@DavidM Closest one to me is in Chino.. Which is a fair drive away, I am in the southern LA area
Oh, is that like a weed thing?
17:43
@James Eh . . . you have In n' Out burger.
Not missing much.
@DavidM They don't have beer shakes :)
thx guys
Bye
sigh
in-n-out is now like 10 minutes from my house in TX. it's awesomeeeee
also there is red robin nearby. EAT ALL THE BURGERS.
@agent86 ROFL
17:46
@agent86 I've never been to a Red Robin. I lived like 5 minutes from one. I just never went.
Thanks, whoever ended that, but I probably deserved it.
@DavidM Is banned too.
@James you laugh, but I get double-doubles, so nyah
@agent86 Dude I am in So Cal
@Fluttershy it's fairly decent for a "midrange" burger chain. when I was more of an eater, I liked their bottomless fries.
I cant swing a cat with out hitting 5 in and outs
17:48
@agent86 I like the idea of bottomless fries. :3
@James ah, I misread. I thought you were talking about being far from in-n-out, not red robin.
@agent86 :D
@Fluttershy they used to bring them to you before your burger came out, they stopped doing that.
now you have to wait to gorge yourself :(
@DavidM is still banned
@agent86 That's disappointing. :( Can you just like... eat your burger slowly?
And have them bring you all the fries?
17:49
@GnomeSlice I think that's for his usage of "total sluts".
@James when I lived in San Diego, there were several Red Robins. I'm surprised there aren't more where you are.
@Wipqozn Well then I should still be banned too.
@GnomeSlice Okay.
In n Out Burger is on my list to try whenever I end up near one.
@agent86 There are a ton of burger joints around here, some are not as prolific spread as others
17:49
@Fluttershy well, you can hang out and keep eating fries. I suppose at some point they will kick you out, but I've never gotten past maybe the second or third fill.
I haven't been following the whole conversation, but it's been talked about in here before that sluts isn't a word people appreciate, especially our female members.
@JasonBerkan They are probably the highest quality fast food burger chain.. But its still fast food
Moreso when it's used in the way he used it, aka implying woman who enjoy sex are bad but men who don't aren't.
@James A good fast food burger is good. I love 5 Guys.
@JasonBerkan the first few times I ate there, I was like "meh" but then after a while I really started to crave it.
very simple menu, very friendly staff, very good (fast) food
17:51
@GnomeSlice no problem, your statement, while worth being removed was more contextual and just a bad word choice. The other statement was arguably more demeaning. I wouldn't personally have suspended for it, but I'm not gonna pull it off either
Best fast food burger I've ever had came from a place called Dick's Drive-in in Seattle.
(cc: @Ktash)
@agent86 Honestly man its their rolls that I do not like that can throw the burger off
@Fluttershy lol
They are almost always too ungodly dry
P.O.'s Burger in Houston is still a fav
17:51
The burger the toppings all of it is awesome, except the damn roll.
It's basically Seattle's version of In-n-Out.
total hole in the wall joint, but awesome place to get a burger.
one day I was like "hey guys, there's a wasp, can I get a fly swatter or something" and they just shrugged and said "it's good protein"
If you are just talking burger places we have a bistro down the road that does an awesome burger. THen we have chains like The Counter which also do awesome custom non-fast food burgers
There is also Fat Burger
Then a place down the road called The Habit, not sure if they are a chain or not
but since in-n-out opened here, I've probably eaten there a dozen times
I think since I moved to LA Ive eaten there a dozen times
17:53
@Wipqozn Well said, sir.
Honestly when I have a choice I go with mexican food :D
ugh, so-cal mexican is a big "no thanks" - I like tex mex :P
@Fluttershy I'm so fancy.
no fish tacos, pls
@agent86 I prefer mexican mexican :)
17:53
QUESO
3
FTW
GOD BLESS 'MURICA
Ugh fish tacos are an atrocity
Mmm yeah Queso is pretty nice :)
oh lord, there's a place downtown that makes this awesome queso and chips. like, that seems like it shouldn't be something you go nuts over, but let me tell you, it was really spectacular
I love queso and chips.
IT'S @ANNALEAR! SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD SNEAK IN!
I would eat that all day every day.
17:55
argh, now I want queso :( CHEESE, WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME
@agent86 Queso cheese is best cheese.
@agent86 Dude, That is Precisely something to go nuts over! I am trying a new mexican place today for lunch actually, can not wait
Told the food is good and the rate you get it is damn awesome
@OrigamiRobot ALMOST DID, TOO
@Fluttershy QUESO IS CHEESE ಠ_ಠ
well, if y'all queso lovers are ever in austin, lemme know and I'll tell you my sekret queso spot
17:56
@AnnaLear I'M ON TO YOUR SNEAKY WAYS
@agent86 Indeed, if you are ever in LA let me know, Will take you to the Riveria and you can judge so cal mexican.. but if you order the fish tacos I will let you walk back to wherever you are staying :P
@Fluttershy I know what you mean. it's good stuff. I make it myself sometimes.
@James no fish tacos. none, whatsoever :P
@OrigamiRobot thatsthejoke.jpg
@James Nonsense. They contain fish and are therefore excellent.
@Fluttershy NOT FUNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
17:57
@agent86 I just wanted to be clear! They sell them there, and I am told they are good,, but fish belongs in the sea not on a taco shell.
if I order fish tacos, you may shoot me point blank in the head as it is my evil clone/twin and not really me and you'd be saving the world from his evilness.
@OrigamiRobot I know! Hilarious is the word you're looking for.
@James SHRIMP TACOS ARE THE BESTEST
^ Also excellent.
@TimStone @OrigamiRobot sigh There is no help for you :(
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SHRIMP TACOS, YOU'RE NO FRIEND OF MINE
@TimStone KNOWS WHAT'S UP
~we can fish if we want to, we can put them in a taco, but your friends wont fish taco and if they won't taco, well, they're no friends of mine.~
@OrigamiRobot Oh thank god!
I think I have to agree wiht @TimStone and @OrigamiRobot.
