@AshleyNunn <3 thunder

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I agree.

I love thunder storms.

I just love storms in general though. Storms rock.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot I do not like it. Me and my supervisor are being all O.O at it

Chippies

13:15

@badp press the vaccuum cleaner right against the outside of the fan and turn it on, it will pull most of the dust out and the rest will get blown out by the force of the fan spinning

that's what I always used to do :>

Sterno

At this rate, @Wipqozn is going to get called up for modship pretty soon. GET YOUR ROOM OWNERSHIP ABUSE OF HIM IN WHILE YOU CAN

5pike

@Chippies I personally don't trust vacuums near an open pc.

Frank

Bridge, I started a new model yesterday. It's going to be the best one yet.

Chippies

@5pike PCs are quite robust, as long as you don't slam the vacuum into the parts

Sterno

Actually, at this rate, @Frank is going to be called up.

Chippies

13:21

is there a shorter term in English for vacuum cleaner?

5pike

@Chippies Not going to risk it.

Frank

@Sterno Technically, I am next, yeah.

Sterno

@Frank That is terrifying.

Chippies

@5pike I've been cleaning my PCs and laptops with a vacuum cleaner for years. Of course you need one where you can take the big flat part off and leave just the tube

Sterno

Though I think it would be awesome if so many mods quit that every single candidate ends up being a mod

Including ronnie

Rapitor

13:23

@Chippies just vacuum,

Chippies

of course I don't clean individual parts with it, only fans and the bottom of the case

Frank

@Sterno Terrifyingly awesome, you mean. :P

It means I'll be able to join in the whole @Wipqozn de-ownering thing.

Sterno

@Frank Of course. The drama would never end. I'd love it.

Chippies

@Rapitor that seems like it could be a bit confusing, but I guess no one really talks about the actual vacuum in a casual conversation, eh?

5pike

@Chippies Yeah, I also clean the case fans with a vacuum, but nothing inside the Pc.

Frank

13:24

@Sterno You'd have to quit work to keep up with it all.

Chippies

@5pike vacuum does wonders on the CPU fan

and really? you don't even clean the bottom of the case with vacuum? :O

Sterno

@Frank Drama is best if it's viewed during working hours.

Chippies

that's always where the most dust gathers and it's just so easy to clean with a vacuum

Frank

@Sterno Keeps you from being productive, is that it?

5pike

@Chippies Just a damp cloth.

Chippies

13:25

I guess it really depends on the size and type of your vacuum cleaner

if yours is huge and has a metal tube, it's probably easier to just use a cloth

Sterno

@Frank Nothing is more productive than engaging in drama.

Frank

@Sterno You have a funny definition of productiveness, then.

Sterno

Indeed

Rapitor

@Sterno actually fuck you

Wipqozn

@Rapitor Assumign rebecca black?

Also, @Sterno, if they need another mod they'd probably call another election. I doubt they'd reach down until the 5th place position to fill it out.

I wouldn't even feel right accepting modship if they gave it to me on being in 6th place.

With the 3 winning candiates out the results could be very differently.

Frank

13:33

@Wipqozn Another election this soon seems somewhat counter-productive.

We didn't have one for, what? Two years?

And then two in one year?

Arperum

Three mods left, four joined. Only @mana got a replacement. @oak didn't.

StrixVaria

FYI: All the mods that quit had relatively low mod participation recently.

Arperum

@StrixVaria Because you newbie modraters are being overenthusiastic.

Frank

@Wipqozn Dammit, your gravatar doesn't hit the primary image recognition filter. Switch back to your turtle!

Arperum

@Frank And it also sort of hits a couple other recognition filters. It's really annoying.

Wipqozn

Angry beaver attacks man on Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore

StrixVaria

Should I ban @Wipqozn?

Frank

@StrixVaria Yes

I would be screaming mod abuse happily.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria yeah, which is part of the reason they quit, from what I understand.

Arperum

@StrixVaria Or modabuse his gravatar to something green.

preferably alotlike.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Will you pay me for doing so?

badp

13:38

I has 16 GB!

Also... chat changed to Arial? D:

Arperum

@badp Oh hai there new chrome version user!

badp

@Arperum rly?

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

huh.

Arperum

@badp Yup. You are the second person I hear about that.

And the first case got fixed by going a chromeversion back.

Wipqozn

@Frank they call elections when they feel they need to. There's no limit on how often they call them.

badp

Yeah; if I set the CSS rule to font-family: Verdana, I get Times New Roman

so apparently this version of Chrome objects to Verdana being a thing that exists.

...Everything's gone Arial for some reason. I shouldn't have updated Chrome.

Tweeted by tmslft on September 5, 2014 at 3:34 AM

It actually seems to object to most fonts being a thing that exists. No idea what happened.

badp

Yeah, Tahoma also fails.

Sterno

The instances of @Wipqozn being deownered drop precipitously when I'm not around to reowner him. This is terrible.

Someone needs to step up.

badp

@Sterno This is why I've invented FREE OUT OF OWNER CARDS.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I kept @JasonBerkan as a mod for exactly this reason!

Arperum

@badp By now @Wipqozn can build a whole deck from the cards he has.

Q: When do drops reset?

For TF2 the 'drop reset' is claimed to be Thursday at GMT 00:00. Assuming that they are both Valve/Source games it could be the same time for drop reset - but I don't know that this is the case. Can anyone confirm that it is the same, or if not, what time does the reset happen for CS: GO?

Q: Prevent low-rep (readonly) chat users from showing up in user lists

Yesterday we had quite an invasion of nazi/swastika-avatared trolls in chat. Of course none of them could talk since they all had 1 rep, but with such avatars them showing up in the user list is already annoying enough (and pretty offensive to some people). It would be useful if users who cannot...

feature-request chat

> To address this and many other issues and requests, I'm currently working on extending the chat permission systems in order to make three things possible that currently aren't (with the single exception of suspensions):

Subtractive permission adjustments. As I said here, the current permission system only allows you to give users additional permissions, never remove permissions from the default set.

Temporary permission adjustments. This will, for example make it possible to give users time-limited permission to chat despite low reputation, or ban a user from a single room temporarily.

Okay, that's neat.

@AshleyNunn BUT IT'S ALL RUMBLE RUMBLE CRACK!

badp

@Frank I'm happy that they're not overloading the existing concept of owner, so that we can keep having our fun harmlessly.

Frank

@badp Next we'll have to remove ownership capabilities.

@Wipqozn can no longer be made an owner

user15026

13:47

@OrigamiRobot That is why it is scary!

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn NOOOOOO IT'S SOOTHING

NATURE IS AWESOME

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Until it kills you.

user15026

I hate storms :(

Origami Robot

@Frank NOPE, STILL AWESOME

user15026

I am very easily startled, and the sounds mess with my brainmeat

badp

13:50

:(

user15026

Watching the rain from the office windows was nice though

Origami Robot

@AshleyNunn RIDING IN A CAR IN THE RAIN IS NICE

NOT DRIVING THOUGH, THAT SUCKS

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot driving in the rain is most fun

Origami Robot

NEGATIVE

Kevin van der Velden

@Rapitor you are insane

Martin Sojka

13:52

@Rapitor Too bad about the other people on the road.

Rapitor

@KevinvanderVelden only a little.

Origami Robot

IF IT'S EVEN DRIZZLING, PEOPLE DRIVE LIKE 10 UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT

Kevin van der Velden

No, driving in the rain is the worst.

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot yeah... i should amend my statement. driving in the rain when you are the only car is the most fun

Sterno

Yeah, people should drive faster than they feel comfortable with, potentially killing people on accident instead!

Martin Sojka

13:54

Seriously: I learned driving in winter, in the hours before going to school (so it was still pitch black outside), while most of the time it either rained or snowed. It's raining? So what? I automatically adjust the distances and speed to accommodate for it. If it wasn't for quite a big part of the drivers panicking as soon as it's somewhat wet outside, this wouldn't be a problem at all.

Origami Robot

@Sterno PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE UNCOMFORTABLE IN A DRIZZLE

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka In short: People are the worst.

Origami Robot

ALSO, TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS WHEN IT'S RAINING!

badp

Rain can be a bummer if you were planning to enjoy the fasts

Rapitor

@Sterno the problem is i'm driving the speed limit, while the person in front is driving 20 below because of drizzle

Origami Robot

13:55

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS DAY TIME

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot and if it's pouring put on hazards

badp

@Rapitor It's okay: the speed limit here drops by 20 when it rains.

Kevin van der Velden

But! Don't be an idiot and turn on your big lights

Just the regular lights

badp

Of course, that's 20 km/h, not 20 mph

Origami Robot

UGH

Sterno

13:56

@OrigamiRobot People shouldn't be uncomfortable when I'm standing nude outside their house and peering in their window, because really I just forgot to get dressed and just wanted to check out their new living room furniture, but FOR SOME REASON THEY STILL CALL THE COPS

Origami Robot

EVERY DRIVER WHO ISN'T ME IS AN AWFUL DRIVER, AND I'M NOT EVEN THAT GOOD A DRIVER

Martin Sojka

@Rapitor You silly people and your speed limits ...

Wipqozn

@badp Yeah. If room owners were given more powers than the wipqozn removal meme might end. I don't want to lose all that attention!

Rapitor

@MartinSojka at least in US we are allowed 9 over legally..

9mph.

Tim Stone

@OrigamiRobot I still want James Bond-like missiles on my car to properly handle people who try to kill me with their bad driving.

Martin Sojka

13:57

@OrigamiRobot I'm driving over 50Mm/year. Most of it quite fast, all of it without a single accident, not even close. I'd say 99% of the drivers are shit compared to me, simply because they have no practice.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot Is that not a legal requirement in NC?

In NYS, if you have your windshield wipers on, you have to have your lights on.

Origami Robot

@FAE IT IS, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP PEOPLE

FAE

Logic being if the weather's shit enough to have wipers on, you should have your lights on.

Origami Robot

@FAE SAME

Rapitor

if you are afraid of driving in the rain because of traction... get an AWD... it doesn't gurantee grip, but it's certainly better then FWD and definitely RWD

badp

13:59

@MartinSojka Out of pure curiosity how many fasts are we talking about here?

160? 180? 200?
