That's not even a duckface.

I concur with @OrigamiRobot.

Q: Resurrect NPC without corpse

I've only recently noticed that the woman who runs Warmaiden's in Whiterun seemingly is missung. Possibly she was killed in the vampire attacks (having dawnguard and all). I do not see her body anywhere so I am looking for some "restore / reset character" command, rather than just "resurrect". A...

badp

@Sterno I thought that was simply known as a grumpy face

Ben Brocka

@Sterno same

Sterno

@badp I figured if I just used "grumpy" for male while it's "bitchy" for women I'd be accused of being sexist.

Ben Brocka

Surprised more people don't understand that not everyone has an eternal smile

badp

1:12 PM

@BenBrocka My English professor in high school did

Arperum

@BenBrocka I have an eternal frown.

badp

It was slightly creepy, and an excellent parody vector

@Sterno I thought the word "bitchy" was sexist to begin with

Sterno

It's only sexist if you let it be sexist!

badp

...

Sterno

Is "asshole" sexist since it is generally applied to men?

badp

1:16 PM

I was just going off the fact that "bitch" is also the name of the female dog

by contrast pretty much everybody has a sphincter

Sterno

Yet typically, for the same traits, you'd call a woman a bitch and a man an asshole, and rarely would you switch the two around.

Origami Robot

Not every sphincter is an asshole.

badp

I hadn't honestly noticed the part about asshole being male-only tbh

Sterno

Maybe I'm wrong. I just don't think I've ever heard a woman referred to as an asshole

badp

I probably never paid it any mind

on this topic - I still haven't understood what about shower caps makes douchebags douchebags

Sterno

1:19 PM

That's another one predominately used for men.

Though by applying something feminine to them. So I'm not sure which way the sexism runs on that one!

badp

@Sterno oh that's the reason?

Sterno

@badp reason for what?

badp

for calling douchebags "shower caps"

Sterno

I've never heard that so I have no idea

badp

No, I mean, douchebag literally mean "shower cap"

AFAIK

douche being shower in french

Kevin van der Velden

1:20 PM

Generally the reason calling someone a bitch is sexist is because it's considered more demeaning then calling someone a dog. i.e. it is considered worse because you are also calling them female

Q: Knockback on Hit with Witch Doctor

I have a Rare Ceremonial Knife (Witch Doctor) with 2.0% Chance to Knockback on Hit. Is this effect triggered by non-melee attacks, such as Firebomb and Firebats? I have not seen any evidence in-game that the effect is triggering when using these two skills.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden you're the man now dog?

Sterno

I don't think that's the definition people are using.

5pike

@badp It's something completely different

Douche

A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons, or the stream of water itself. Douche usually refers to vaginal irrigation, the rinsing of the vagina, but it can also refer to the rinsing of any body cavity. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching—a bag for holding the fluid used in douching. To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for an enema and a vaginal douche. Douching after sexual intercourse is not an effective form of birth control. Additionally it is associated ...

Ben Brocka

Sterno

She likes sci-fi romance novels. Apparently that one was too little sci-fi.

5pike

badp

@5pike I don't know now if it would be wise to start working on it today

People have mentioned beginners would take 3-4 hours

Martin Sojka

According to the reviews on Goodreads, it's not that bad. Though I hope "... the mining colony of Esther, one of the moons circling Jupiter", in 2088, is just an error in the blurb, not something actually in the book.

badp

granted, we usually have dinner at half past 9

Martin Sojka

The user-picked genres "Adult Fiction > Erotica" (13), "Romance", "Science Fiction" (11 both), "Fantasy", "Adult", "Romance > Science Fiction Romance" and "Romance > Erotic Romance" (4 each) should give a good idea as to the content as well. :D

Arperum

@badp Why?

badp

@Arperum I mean perhaps I could open the mobo box for the manual

but I'd rather keep everything else safe and sealed

hell I probably could be reading the mobo manual now

5pike

1:34 PM

@badp If it's your first time, yeah, it can take some time. The wiring can be finicky, so take your time and read the manual.

Martin Sojka

5pike

Martin Sojka

Oooooh....

Reminds me, I need to hunt for some nice Raspberry Pi package. Want to try out OpenELEC now that it has a new version with XBMC 13 and stuff ...

Do I want to bother and start downloading the drivers for the pieces I've got?

I mean, Windows should come with most of them already right? in their non-bloatware editions.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp naah, you'll probably get CDs on them

badp

@KevinvanderVelden I don't have a CD reader handy

except for my laptop's

I've got Windows 8.1 on a USB thing to boot from

Kevin van der Velden

@badp OOH! If you're installing windows 7 (maybe it's fixed in 8) and try to install from an USB stick on a USB3 port it won't work

Just a headsup for the cryptic errors that'll give >.>

badp

hm. Hopefully it's fixed in Windows 8.1

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice Yes and No, and I can't follow up this conversation any further for approximately 11 hours, so I'll see you later.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden What's the error message?

later LPMF

Kevin van der Velden

1:39 PM

Basically "Unable to load drivers, please show me where to find them" or something

Just a generic "Hey I can't load drivers but I don't think it's worth my time to tell you what kind of drivers"

badp

Oh, if it's a drivers thing I can load them into the USB stick

Kevin van der Velden

Which is especially fun given that it CAN ALREADY SEE EVERYTHING

badp

I suppose

I saw the option to do so in the Windows answer file creation thingy

I only have about 300 MB of free space in it but...

Ben Brocka

I thought the USB problem was due to UEFI being shit

badp

The motherboard has dual BIOS (????) which I suppose means no UEFI?

Ben Brocka

1:43 PM

Dual BIOS is so you can fail over to the clean BIOS if the first is damaged

badp

yeah, I mean, it's got BIOS at all, so probably that means no UEFI

Ben Brocka

I can never tell if BIOS means "really BIOS" or "BIOS or UEFI whatever the hell's installed"

badp

no, nevermind

"GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOS™"

obvious

3ventic

I don't even know what UEFI is

Ben Brocka

@3ventic stupid garbage to lock out non-windows operating systems

badp

1:44 PM

@3ventic it's like BIOS but better and the main/most controversial feature IIRC can verify the bootloader GPG signature

Ben Brocka

non-windows 8 operating systems I might add

3ventic

so it's that new

Kevin van der Velden

@BenBrocka it works with 7 as well IIRC?

badp

@BenBrocka Not really. You can set up GRUB so that it's UEFI protected. You do need to give UEFI a key to check against because no one wants to hold the secret key to all GRUB installations

3ventic

So how do I tell if I have UEFI or not

Ben Brocka

1:46 PM

Maybe it's only x86 that doesn't install on UEFI

I remember having to jump through a couple extra hoops to reinstall win 7 via USB stick on UEFI though

Q: How do you Speed Run a game?

I've been watching some speed running videos on youtube of Zelda games. I was wondering a few things about them, as listed here: How do they broadcast the run? I've seen some people allow for donations, is this done during live streaming? and how? Are there rules on using glitches during runs?...

3ventic

5pike

Mhh... I can't remember if I installed Win7 via DVD or USB, when I got my new mobo with UEFI. All I remember is that it worked without a problem.

Kevin van der Velden

I've got UEFI and installed windows 7 from USB without a problem (when I inserted it into a USB2 port >.>)

Ben Brocka

@badp It was some fuckup I had to do for Steam OS. I forget if Win 7 needed the same handholding or not. Windows 8 should install out of the box for totally not suspicious reasons
