This is everything wrong with patents.
 
@Frank The best one.

NOOO, DAMN YOU @agent86! YOU BEAT ME BY MERE SECONDS!
 
@Wipqozn You had whole minutes!
 
@Frank I was busy.
 
@StrixVaria Are you ready?
 
12:22 AM
@RedRiderX We'd need quite a few people to be fun though
But it can be really quick
 
@Frank No. Patents are what makes medical research worth it for drug manufacturers in the first place. If patents weren't a thing, then this wouldn't exist.
 
@OrigamiRobot Once I'm not holding a baby anymore I will be ready.
 
Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
@Sterno Your acceptance of this is making it seem like this is what we are currently doing, and that's confusing newcomers. It's been pretty well established that we now dupe these types of questions to our single point of reference. — Frank 1 hour ago
Because the last I knew, my duping scheme had failed miserably

YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!
 
Wow, I just went for Paragon 30 (or so) to 51 in a few hours.
 
1:40 AM
Not sure if it's already been linked, but TotalBiscut has some interesting thoughts on the whole nature of the debate around Zoe Quinn and the surrounding issues.
He talks about a lot of stuff, but I think what might be most important is him disagreeing with all the people saying that if you don't "take a side" in the debate you're a horrible person.
And that if we all "take a side" immediately it's so hard to empathize with each other.
Which I agree with quite a bit
 
1:53 AM
> We'll read it in a smooth jazz style
And yes, taking a side implies you know enough of the details to make an informed opinion of the situation, which I know I have not.
 
Same here
 
I'll defend Quinn and Sarkeesian against the trolls that are harassing them, because hate speech simply isn't cool, but as to their message, no I can't defend them because I just don't know enough from both sides.
 
And it's so hard to get down to a real discussion with a shitstorm of horrible comments swirling overhead
@memescientist Groovy
 
Which is why I'm reading articles that come across my feeds, but other than that, staying out of it.
Although I did post this one tweet:
@ilitchev @femfreq "Anonymity doesn't bring out the worst in people, it just brings out the worst people." -@hankgreen
 
2:01 AM
@MBraedley Hey I like that
 
I wish he had made it an actual vlogbrothers video
And there are (community) edited versions too.
 
@MBraedley Oh yeah I remember seeing that one, thought it was very interesting seeing the whole thing.
 
FAE
@MBraedley ah, is that one of the ones that's part of the whole teaching the community how to make things?
 
@FAE Yep. Pretty sure there's a link in the description. Would have taken part if I had decent editing software installed.
 
FAE
@MBraedley Jochem told me about that today, it's a pretty neat project.
 
2:09 AM
> This war is a sideshow. It's distracting us from talking about the real issues, and make no mistake, that's exactly what an extremist will want.
Couldn't agree more
 
2:23 AM
> I'm not trying to reach across the aisle. I was never in the other aisle to begin with. I walked into the chamber, and it was on fire, and people were stabbing each other. It sucked.
 
2:49 AM
My comment on Total Biscuit's post. I think it sums up my (non-)position quite nicely.
 
@MBraedley Yeah pretty much same here
Not wanting (and maybe not able) to form an informed opinion badly enough to wade through the shitstorm surrounding everything right now.
 
3:09 AM
Sadly, it's japanese only right now.

Q: getting bored of skyrim

saibinIs there any thing to do once u have gotten so far into skyrim that it is boring. Like is there any way to live a normal life as a smith or a alchemist. Because I'm getting really bored of the game.

 
8:37 AM
@Lazers Skyrim is a role playing game where you role play as a legendary hero who slay dragons and fight evil and you want to play as a blacksmith?
 
@PrivatePansy The better question is "How would that be less boring?"
 
This is the one person who must have been the playtester for the Fable games
 
Orcs Must Die is rather disappointing. It suffers from the same problem that Borderlands does, that is, it seems to be balanced only for multiplayer Co op
@Ktash You know, that explains a lot.
I have superiors who makes me want to punch them in the face every time they open their mouth

@FEichinger The Doctor Who opener?
 
@Fluttershy Yeh.
 
@Unionhawk Did you read the patent at all? Someone's patented a cure for cancer, and has not provided any proof that it actually works, just, "It works". It has less to do with big pharma reaping billions from drugs than being able to try to patent any old thing and having it approved.

@FEichinger It was two hours of the worst companion crying because the doctor didn't look like the worst doctor anymore. It was awful.
It's only redeeming qualities were Strax, Vastra, Jenny, and Capaldi.
Also, Jurassic Park had more realistic dinosaurs. And that movie is 20 years old. :P
 
2:29 PM
Jurassic Park also had practical effects to help make the dinosaurs feel more realistic. The episode called for a t-red scaled to the point where it could conceivably have a police call box lodged in it's throat.
 
@PrivatePansy Actually would you like me to set that as your avatar?
 
@TrentHawkins Which is dumb. :P
If they needed something like that, it could've been an alien. Not a tyrannosaurus.
 
@Fluttershy No, it was great! It finally breaks with the old direction. Clara is a surrogate for the very people who so desperately clung to Tennant and Smith, and gets told "Yeah, no, we're done with that. Move on."
 
But at least they had a throwaway line to hand-wave the scale...

@FEichinger I loved Tennant, then I loved Smith more, now I'll probably love Capaldi even more.

@TravisJ I have no idea what their issue is but shrug blocked and reported for harassment because he kept calling me stuff for helping someone
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn :D
 
Sucks =/ People shouldn't be so rude, but then again, no one on FB is really expected to be professionals
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn @RedRiderX the Geocaching Event meet and greet is tomorrow and I'm starting to get really nervous x_x
 
user15026
8:38 PM
@FAE it will be super cool. And the people will likely be nice and you will have funsies
 
I second that assertion.
 
@FAE If the place isn't littered with mini-caches I'll be disappointed
 
user15026
@TravisJ I mean it doesn't really bug me, I get MUCH worse harassment at work, but dang.
 
@badp That could very well be the case
 
user15026
@badp It might be - usually groups pick places where there are caches because hello that is just smart and awesome and fun :P
 
FAE
8:39 PM
I know there's going to be some new caches going online tomorrow as well.
 
It's always caching.
 
geoka-ching
 
FAE
It's just like... 250+ have signed up and I know some have canceled, but my anxiety's just kind of like "AAAAHHHHHH"
 
Hah, should just play the register sound every time a web page resource is cached on page load.
 
@FAE Well you're going to be there with friends right?
 
8:41 PM
@FAE You've gone every day this week. What more could they ask of you?
Also, you're a jerk!
 
FAE
@badp Well, with Jochem. I don't have any other friends here who geocache.
 
Well then you're going to be there with new friends! :P
ALL OF THEM
ALL OF THE NEW FRIENDS
 
FAE
@badp I get nervous about making new friends offline!
 
FRIEND ALL THE THINGS
 
user15026
@FAE It will be okay. :) They will likely not all show and even if they do, you can likely just like talk to small groups of people because they will likely spread out like that, especially if it is in liek a big park or something
 
8:43 PM
Really? I worry about online people more than offline people.
 
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I don't know! I just like... get anxious over getting yelled at/condescended to by gatekeepers, even though I know this community is pretty friendly.
 
D:
 
user15026
My parents went to an event once at a conservation area and like a very large number of people had signed up but it was like a big caching event thing and everyone was all over the park picking up caches and stuff and they met some nice people and just kinda did their own thing while also like talking to cachers they ran into
 
user15026
@FAE Seriously, lovely, no one is going to be like "you are doing the thing wrong". There's no real gatekeeping culture in caching - everyone is just excited to see other people also doing the thing
 
That kind of sounds made up, but has just enough caching to also have happened
 
user15026
8:45 PM
@TravisJ what does?
 
@AshleyNunn - The part about picking up caches?
 
user15026
@TravisJ ....why?
 
Probably because I am thinking about different types of caching?
 
user15026
@TravisJ I am talking geocaching?
 
I see, I was unsure about how a cache would be picked up, but I guess if you had site specific locations it could be like a treasure hunt.
 
user15026
8:47 PM
@TravisJ Do you know what geocaching is?
 
user15026
Because I suspect you might not quite understand what it is or how it works, if you are questioning the veracity of my statement.
 
@AshleyNunn - Yes, but I did not consider you would have enough accuracy to make that many different points in a single park.
 
user15026
@TravisJ GPS?
 
user15026
Same way you would find any other cache
 
I am a little out of touch with the range of accuracy. I thought it was roughly +/- 100m depending on the triangulation.
 
FAE
8:50 PM
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm trying to be like "It'll be okay, you can go and have tasty food and meet people and have fun and even if you don't like it, you can still leave."
 
user15026
@TravisJ nah, I can get it to get me like kabam right on top of a cache!
 
user15026
@FAE oh yeah, there is nothing that says you have to stay if you are not having a time that is made of yaty
 
user15026
you can go, try it, and totally be like "okay, not my thing, going to do something else now"
 
@AshleyNunn - With a mobile phone, or do you need a new Garmin device?
 
user15026
@TravisJ I've done it with my phone and also like one of those tiny handheld GPS units, (I forget what brand it is) and both work excellently.
 
FAE
8:51 PM
@AshleyNunn It's completely free, they're taking care of catering and stuff, and they're even going to have a raffle to win stuff from Geocachingshop.nl.
 
user15026
(Well, as long as my phone has signal. I tend to prefer the handheld for that reason :P)
 
FAE
@TravisJ I only just started and am currently using a smartphone and even just that works quite well.
 
user15026
@FAE Oooh, neat. So there is extra no obligations because you didn't even have to spend money
 
user15026
@FAE Yeah, for me it just craps out as soon as I leave the city area (because of the provider I have for my phone) so I like the haandheld
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn It's close by to, we can just bike there.
 
user15026
8:53 PM
@FAE Even better! :)
 
user15026
So like you can go and if it is awesome, yay and if it sucks, oh well, no harm no foul
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn Yeah, we're going to start looking into a proper GPSr soon so we can save our phone batteries and for the fact that phones don't work as well in trees and we'd like to go find more remote caches sometime.
 
user15026
@FAE awesome. I really like the brand me and my dad have (no idea what it is though, I would have to ask him) mostly because a) they are awesome and accurate) and b) I have run over mine, dropped it, gotten it wet, etc and it is still like working perfect
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I saw there's the Wherigo caches which need a special type of GPS device, apparently?
 
user15026
@FAE Yeah, they do, but I don't do those (because there are enough trads around to keep me busy forever)
 
8:56 PM
I thought you were going to a conference which talked about technology involved in caching GPS locations on devices. "Geocaching" sounds kind of fun actually.
 
FAE
@AshleyNunn I was wondering about those. Like, part of me feels the same way, because there are a ton of non-Wherigos here, but this other part of my brain is like "But then you can't get aaaaaaaaaaall of theeeeeeeeem"
 
How large is the area the event will be in?
 
user15026
@FAE I just quiet those spiders by going "I am not playing the Wherigo game, brain! just the geocache game!"
 
FAE
@TravisJ The event is just at a café thing with a large terrace area. The area around it has a lot of caches. I live in the Netherlands and there's a crapton here.
As in like... 50+ within 2km of my house.
 
user15026
@FAE Soooooo many. I am so jealous.
 
user15026
8:59 PM
Huh. Apparently NCAA football has started. O.o
