Oh, and I have to get my NS Power account set up (electricity is included at my current place), and I have to get my internet service moved, and my renters insurance moved, and OMG SO MUCH TO DO!
STRESS IS NOT SOMETHING I NEED RIGHT NOW!
user15026
Breathe. :) It will be okay. :)
Moving out of my parents was so much easier.
user15026
@MBraedley I've moved enough times that I have gotten it down to a science.

Q: there hast to be a way to get the gold!

Endgamerpro1337_How do I get gold with no purchase? I want to buy stuff, and my parents won't let me buy gold! When I lend them money, they say I can't do it because they don't want to use their credit card! I was on my own. I tried getting famous, but that didn't work. I only got fame points. After that, I didn...

Q: How do extractors get damaged?

Pvt. GrichmannExtractors can take damage while deployed. That's as much info as the game gives, and that's obviously not enough. What are the specific rules for deployed extractors taking damage? Are they only vulnerable during specific parts of their work cycles? How much damage do they take per hit? Is ther...

14:23
There is something on this floor making a really distressing bloop noise
user15026
I am scared to investigate
@AshleyNunn Bloop noise?
user15026
I don't know how to describe it better than that
user15026
it is like a deep slow beep thing, sounds like "blooop"
user15026
every few seconds
14:25
@RedRiderX you know, a bloop
user15026
It is apparently coming from a loudspeaker in the hallway
Well, there are worse things it could be...
user15026
Yeah, it's not like any sort of alarm thingie - the giant alarm box is quiet
@AshleyNunn could it be the fire safety system?
user15026
@MBraedley Possibly. Seems to have stopped, so that is good, it was so distressing
14:40
Well it's been 8 months since the last time I posted my wallpapers so why not?
This is so weird
user15026
@badp ??
While playing Saints Row 3, the GPU gets hotter while in menus and cooler while in game
Afternoon.
user15026
@FEichinger Heya :)
14:44
at any rate the hottest it's run is 64°C so that's still not a worry
@badp What's your ambient temperature?
22
now that the game's in background the GPU's dropped fairly quickly to 36
I've always wondered if it was better to situate server farms in the icy wasteland of Canada than here
How about space? Latency might be a problem though
Space isn't a good choice. It might be cold, but heat can only be removed through radiation
14:47
eh
Down here on Earth where there's an atmosphere there's also convection and conduction
there's also about 200 extra base kelvins out of 350 or so
Right, but the heat isn't going anywhere without a medium to conduct it away
@badp for general purpose, latency wouldn't be a problem, as long as it's not too far north. Winnipeg would be a good place, especially if a fibre were strung to Chicago.

Q: Can I move my downloaded Origin games to another location without reinstalling them?

Nate KerkhofsI place all of my games in c:\games because I've had times, especially with older games, when the space in Program Files (or the brackets in Program Files(x86)) interfered with proper gameplay. I currently have Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 and Dragon Age 2 installed through Origin, but I didn't config...

14:55
Yeah, the ISS is much more likely to overheat than freeze
Google is building gigantic server farms here, where the ambient temperature is 30+ degrees all year round
user15026
Won't they have to pay to cool everything?
user15026
I don't really know how that works.
Indeed, it's rather uneconomical
@AshleyNunn it depends on how they plan on cooling the data centre. If they use geo heat pumps, it might be fine.
14:57
@AshleyNunn The greater the temperature difference between the ambient temperature outside and inside the server farm, the more energy is needed
> Thank you. An e-mail has been sent to you confirming the registration. Upon receipt of the e-mail you will need to "click" on the "Link" provided to complete your registration
Usually that energy comes from electricity, which is probably not generated in the most environmentally friendly manner
user15026
@PrivatePansy ah, that's what I thought.
Singapore burns oil
@fredley what is this "click" and "link" the speak of?
14:58
@MBraedley I have no idea
Something to do with the e-mail
@MBraedley Link must be the protagonist in the Zelda games, and click probably means knocking his head or something
No clicks are a rural measure of distance
And links go in a chain

Q: there is a problem with my brothers lan world

user76251Hey guys I have a problem with my brothers modded lan world. It works perfectly but hte only problem is that when I join it says Rejection forge for some reason can you guys help me out?

@RedRiderX If a click is a measure of distance, what is 'to click'? Is it to flee?
To click is a corruption of to cluck
15:11
I thought a click was aeronautics terms for a kilometer
@badp I thought that was spelt 'klick'
@badp klick is a military term for kilometer
GOOD MORNING ALLEGEDLY PEOPLE
@Unionhawk AN ALLEGEDLY GOOD MORNING TO YOU AS WELL.
Good afternoon, I guess
15:21
If you start dicking around in a python shell with imaplib and gmail, Google notices.
Apparently it's 'suspicious'
Think America has the worst junk food? Eat your heart because here's Japan:
That's right. That's a Kit-kat pizza.
Are those kitkats deep fired as well?
@fredley Outlook.com does the same thing when an IM app login into MSN 'for me'
Although I recommend it anyway, it's cool to see how email works
For some reason it pinpoints the login requests as coming in from Canada
15:23
We need a better alternative to email. Email sucks.
@MBraedley Pigeon mail, duh
@PrivatePansy too slow
@MBraedley The problem is Email is truly open, anybody can set up an smtp server and go. All other common communication media are privately owned and closed.
You could even file them into ring folders and stick them in dusty cupboards
@MBraedley What specifically is your problem anyway?
15:26
@fredley with pigeon mail? I said, too slow.
@MBraedley ...with email
@fredley ever try organizing a get together with friends using email? You can't effectively leave the conversation, and adding new people sucks.
@MBraedley Oh yeah, email sucks for this. But decent interfaces get around it. In Gmail I can mute the conversation at least.
@fredley maybe! if every client uses the same heuristics to decide what the next title will be
And assuming there's noone in between that has a virus scanner that changes something substantial in the message
@KevinvanderVelden Pretty sure Gmail just stems out any Re: Fwd: crap
15:31
@fredley what if someone uses a different language? Can it filter out everything? What if someone configured their client to add something different
@KevinvanderVelden I have no idea. Gmail mute works for me but YMMV.
@Yuki The pizza also runs Android
Also are you trolling? I've lost track.
@fredley and the last bit is the problem =p Email has no concept of conversations
@KevinvanderVelden uh, it's got a tree of In-Reply-To headers right?
you just need to linearize it in a way that makes sense
15:33
Everything is just "Well, let's change as little as possible and send everything everytime and hope everyone can work it out"
@KevinvanderVelden Nope, but it's a stateless system (hence it works in a truly distributed fashion). Try coming up with a truly stateless & distributed system that can reliably track conversations
@KevinvanderVelden That is people being terribad at emails
Never like this.

> How do you reply to emails?
@KevinvanderVelden People who do anything other than hit reply and reply are Doing It Wrong
@fredley I'm not worrying about the people, I'm worrying about the clients and the fact that the spec for email is just crap
@KevinvanderVelden all I know is that when we sent out patch series over email on the project mailing list, they were pretty important to get right
especially because they enable git am to work
15:38
Ah, SG-1's groundhog day.
Good episode.
Because it's Season 4's finale today I decided it would be a good idea to watch Season 3's finale. It was not a good idea.
That episode is as bad as I remembered it.
You're simply adjusting your expectations
This'll help make a possibly average episode look amazing!
@Yuki of course, heaven bathes under the warmth of god :P
@Yuki Checkmate, atheists!
Wait, I think I’m doing this wrong.
15:42
Also, a deconstruction of Magical Mystery Cure, in the guise of a piece of fanfic: 'Destiny' and Other Lies Told to Foals
@Yuki Where do they get the seven squared part from?
@PrivatePansy "sevenfold as the light of seven days".
Basically, seven times the amount of light the Earth gets in seven days.
So, (amount of light in one day) x 7 days x 7 (sevenfold) = (amount of light in one day) x 49.
I thought we had established that The Bible is a decidedly not scientific book?
@Unionhawk Yea, but there's no harm in pretending it is
@Unionhawk you should really tell that to the creationists
@KevinvanderVelden I do.
Regularly.
15:47
And the flat earth creationists
Whenever I get the chance.
It's like... that hard science fiction My Little Pony fanfic I read.
uuh.. that's redundant
@KevinvanderVelden Are there actually creationists outside of the US?
Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud
15:47
@PrivatePansy TMI
@badp christian creationists? Not sure
I know there are a bunch of muslims who think the khoran is an accurate scientific book
(They're even worse than the christian creationists in that aspect!)
@badp There are nutjobs everywhere
@KevinvanderVelden They must not be aware of what "scientific" means
They just happened to be a little louder in the US
@PrivatePansy "a little"?! in what other country is the big bang a controversial topic of study?
@badp I assume he's talking about the ones who take small passages from the Koran out of context, match them to modern scientific discoveries, and hail the Koran as a scientifically accurate prophetic book
@PrivatePansy yes, see also the link I posted
HINT: science proposes models of reality that are adherent to truth, but aren't truth. As soon as a new, completely different yet more adherent model is found, the previous one is discarded without shame
at least ideally
If you aren't okay with the discarding part, you aren't doing science
@KevinvanderVelden And the flat earth atheists.
@Yuki those are insane to
15:53
@Yuki Those exist?
@PrivatePansy There's gotta be one somewhere. This is humanity we're talking about, there's no level of stupid we won't stoop to and below.
Well yeah, it's not, you know, a thing
Can we...not speak about religion?
It's a bit of a sore subject at the best of times.
@KevinvanderVelden I absolutely cannot tell if this is a parody or not
15:55
VTC The Bridge as Not Constructive
2
@PrivatePansy noone can as far as I know :D
Especially after following the Facebook link
VTC @Uni as Wrong.
@FEichinger I SAID DIE
@Unionhawk NOPE.
15:56
*sets @FEichinger on fire*

@PrivatePansy YOU'RE NOT THE REAL @kalina
@KevinvanderVelden He's close
In the interest of random distracting tangents, TIL Spider-Man once gave birth to himself.
> With the impending First World War Centenary, I'd return the series to the trenches of Northern France in WW1. The game would revolve around life between battles: making a decent cup of tea, using rats for target practice, burning lice out of blankets with candles, reinforcing the trench walls to keep out the mud, playing cards and writing letters home... all under heavy bombardment (lots of camera shake and deafening audio design).
PRESS E TO POUR WATER. ARROWS MOVE THE BOILER. THE BOILER IS SCALDING HOT. YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS.
@badp For good measure, make each joint on your finger articulate independently a la QWOP
16:00
@PrivatePansy no no no no it's all a sequence of elaborate QTEs
It's still Call of Duty, I mean
A drop of tea goes out of the cup, it's bloody screen and back to the checkpoint with you!

Q: What do the Pokemon "Characteristics" mean?

Shadow ZorgonOn the second page of the Pokemon information where it tells you its Nature, how it was received, and something that says Characteristic. Some examples are Characteristics are: Alert to sounds, Somewhat vain, and Takes plenty of siestas. What do these mean, if anything?

also are all of Just Cause 2's missions of the "WE MUST TAKE OVER THIS MILITARY TARGET I AM THE TECHNICIAN I WILL HACK THEM IF I DIE IT'S OVER THE GATES ARE CLOSED GO OPEN THE GATES" type?
@badp I'm sorry, the only thing I can think of when you put it that way is to remake the game in the style of Don't Shit Your Pants
Where did kalina go?
@fredley playing music in cosplay?
16:03
@badp Only base takeover missions are like that, I think
I thought that's what she was busy doing as of late
@PrivatePansy good, because it became quite old at the 3rd mission
user15026
@badp So like Cooking Mama style Call of Duty!
@AshleyNunn headshot! better than mama!
user15026
Oh man I kinda want that to be a thing now :P
original cheery japanese-accent voiceovers or bust
user15026
16:07
It wouldn't be right without those!
user15026
and there is only two left!
@PrivatePansy it's the base model, too, apparently
@badp 84 inches is probably a bit much
@badp If you scroll down a little, it is quite a lot cheaper than other TVs with similar specs
16:11
@PrivatePansy the $39k one isn't actually sold by Amazon
^ From the makers of NyxQuest if anyone's played that.
@badp it's only saying $8000 off
@MBraedley and $2k in credit!!

Q: How to decide a Pokemon's Hidden Power Type(in X and Y)?

Shadow ZorgonI know there is an answer that explains where the person is, and how to figure it out on your own, but it only Applies to Black and White and some previous games. Is there a person who tells me the type of a hidden ability? If so, where is he?

Q: I cant build holding cell kitchen or Canteen help!

Matthew Nixon Well basically i started the game read the ceos letter got the grant built the requirements for the holding cell but it wont let me use it does anyone know why? Please help me this is seriously frustrating cause it is happening for my canteen to D; please reply quickly thx.

Are the new links actually useful? They took a long time for me to load
no repro; approved
I blame the iPad. The old links are still valid though
@MBraedley It's certainly a more colorful site to link to.
Usefulness, I have no idea.
16:45
user15026
@Chippies I love those milkshakes so muuuuuch
@AshleyNunn and boys love your milkshakes!

wait, I don't even know what I'm saying
user15026
giggles Perhaps they do
@Chippies I don't think I've seen those before. Might not be sold here

Q: Stacking mobs on players in vanilla minecraft

DatEpicCoderGuyWhoProgramsIs there anyway to stack the player on mobs? I already know how to stack mobs on other mobs, like this: /summon <entity> {Riding:{<entity>}} Unfortunately, I don't know how I can do something like this to stack mobs on the player. Is there anyway I can do this in vanilla minecraft? Any help is...

@MBraedley I don't drink milkshakes :x I just found the image on the interwebz
user15026
@MBraedley THey are usually at convenience stores (Mac's, I think, might be wrong), you buy like a weird cup full of stuff and then put it under a mixer thingie (where you can say how thick or not you want your shake)
so Idk if they are sold here or not, I haven't seen any tho
milk is gross
So ... where's @WorldEngineer?
user15026
@FEichinger I don't have a milkshake right now :P

@WorldEngineer Well ... the topic turned to "@AshleyNunn's milk shakes", so ... I felt that appropriate.
user15026
@FEichinger I want a milkshake now. A lot.
user15026
17:36
If milkshakes could magically bring @WorldEngineer to my yard, I would be a happy girl because a milkshake is much cheaper than a plane ticket
user20683
@MBraedley Reminds me of Wing Commander in the FMV era

@MBraedley Interesting short.
I wouldn't mind a movie with that aesthetic.

Q: How can I clean my 3DS?

Ashley NunnI seem to have gotten something sticky over parts of it. Most of it wiped off, but the volume slider and the wireless switch are sticky and tough to move. How can I clean those parts without damaging my 3DS?

Q: What happens to game saves when you delete a Nintendo Netowork ID

user76263I don't care for the games or the DLC I bought, but what happens to game saves like Pokemon Y, SMT, Rhythm Thief, etc.? I read somewhere that deleting NNID deletes saves games. I cannot find out if this is true or not.

@agent86 I'm just wondering why the muzzle flash is a cross.
18:12
@Lazers @AshleyNunn What exactly did you do to your 3DS?
@PrivatePansy something something milkshake?
@PrivatePansy Yeah I was wondering too...
something sticky ಠ_ಠ — Yuki 26 secs ago

o.ô
Uh ... huh.
Right.
user15026
18:14
It was in my purse! I think my juice bottle spilled on it.
user15026
Or something.
@RedRiderX The edit, I believe.
@RedRiderX Two people starred it while you unstarred it
I guess?
@PrivatePansy Nope it keeps happening
user15026
@Yuki >.<
18:15
I still get the same results
I'm doing it now
@RedRiderX Sometimes the transcript just stops highlighting the star.
Refresh the page.
Ah okay
The star list should still show a yellow star.
Yeah that works
But that was very strange
18:16
The star's colour is a simple toggle. Some things (such as edits, or starring from not-the-active-log) cause weird behaviour.
Yeah I guess
Also, last five minutes consisted pretty much of merchandise advertisement. Not unexpected, but still...
Also, if you star from the star list and then mess with it in chat proper, it causes weird effects.
18:17
@FEichinger Ah, the state of the stars isn't consistent
@PrivatePansy what show?
@RedRiderX @MBraedley Last episode of season 4 for MLP, I assume.
I presume when you star/unstar it, the state isn't actually refreshed from the server data
@Yuki oic
Otherwise the error should be corrected through repeated clicks
18:18
@Yuki I will only accept answers from the horses mouth!
user20683
@Lazers Not my fault.
@MBraedley *groan*
@WorldEngineer ... Are you sure of that?
user20683
@FEichinger I've got range but not that much.
18:19
That was bad and you should feel bad. And yes. I am talking about the MLP S4 finale
@PrivatePansy so I take it @Yuki's correct
user20683
@FEichinger I'm quite built you know. Very strong muscles.
@FEichinger I like that show.
user20683
@Yuki I saw that show original run :P
^ Conditioned response to seeing that gif.
user15026
18:20
REally stupid question - 3DS game carts save to the carts, yeah? Not your system somewhere stupid?
Also, season finale on Monday!
@WorldEngineer It's... still running.
@Yuki It's a great show.
user15026
washes her hands of this whole business
@Yuki I don't think that's firefly...
user15026
@MBraedley I believe it is Castle.
user20683
18:22
@AshleyNunn
It is Castle, indeed. And I believe @Yuki knows that. And @WorldEngineer mistook it.
user15026
@WorldEngineer Okay, good.
user20683
@FEichinger I've not seen Castle and that maroon is the standard Mal shirt color
Yeah, I would have guessed castle.
user20683
18:23
the fact remains that I saw Firefly in the original run
@WorldEngineer The background clearly isn't Serenity, though. And, having watched Firefly, you should notice that.
@WorldEngineer but it's more of a dress shirt, and the background is definitively not firefly
user15026
@FEichinger Yeah, it looks too...house-y to be Serenity
user20683
Fair enough
user20683
I've also not seen Firefly in a long time
18:24
@AshleyNunn And that means it also wasn't Badger's den.
user15026
Might be from the one ep where he used the Mal outfit, or something, to make the shirt match?
user20683
I got rather tired of it
user15026
@FEichinger Nah, there's nowhere in the 'verse that looks that tidy
user15026
Cept like Alliance hospital scaryness
@AshleyNunn Well there was a place that looked that tidy, and somewhat in that style ... Then they shot it up.
user15026
18:25
@FEichinger laughs Fair point
The desert Mal stood buck naked in was pretty tidy... for a desert
Then again, I also got some Caleb gifs somewhere on my hard drive ...
Would also make for some interesting reaction gifs.
user15026
@FEichinger They would.
user15026
@PrivatePansy Yeah, because it was empty :P
18:29
Done-with-your-shit-Caleb.
@MBraedley I... know that it's Castle. In fact, I think I talked some Castle to you yesterday. Or day before yesterday.

@PrivatePansy Luna's mane weirds me out
Where should I get laptop reviews?
I was looking at wirecutter, but at just under $1000 they don't really recommend anything.
They just say to get an Air
But the person I'm looking for wants Windows for gaming
Windows laptop for gaming under $1000 doesn't sound very... realistic
Yeah that's what I was saying
But it looks like they're thinking more like 2012 gaming
Hmm are sub-$1000 "boutique" rigs worth getting?
I'm thinking this:
The keyboard and mouse might be a waste of time but still
18:58
@AshleyNunn Ethereal equine magical manes aren't really the easiest things to duplicate in real life, I guess
The 4DE plushies are currently the most accurate and best quality licensed plushies there are now. I do have high hope for these.

@PrivatePansy Haha truth
user15026
@PrivatePansy They do look pretty neat
