@Wipqozn It was on meta, it got closed as a migration to main, got closed there, too, so it got dumped back onto meta.

Actually, other way around.

Yuuki

Well, it seems like I found a theme to my relatives' visit: really strong smells.

Frank

main -> meta -> main

Yuuki

Two days ago it was some kind of preserved fish that stunk up the entry hallway and this morning, it's some kind of bamboo that, when cooked, has a smell that reminds me of dry heaving.

And also makes me want to dry heave.

Q: Questions that don't answer the question

I know it's rather rare but sometimes answers are posted that don't answer the question that's being asked. What exactly should be done with these answers? I mean technically they are answers since they are a bit more than a comment but they aren't wrong or low quality.. they just deal with somet...

Yuuki

Wait, questions are supposed to answer questions?

Jutschge

1:12 PM

@Yuuki oups... i'll edit that

Frank

@Jutschge I was just about to make that edit.

Jutschge

Saying english is complicated would be a bad excuse here I guess =P?

Frank

@Jutschge Yep

But you can use the, "I'm on mobile" all day long.

Yuuki

I don't think I can take a step downstairs due to fear of throwing up.

Frank

Newegg's got a deal on RAM at the moment. 8GB G-Skill for $85.

@Yuuki a big 8-legged NOPE down there?

Sterno

Inhale. Hold breath. Walk downstairs. Leave building. Exhale. #lifehack

MBraedley

Arg, why is UDP so complicated in Java?

Frank

That's like half of what I paid for mine a few years ago.

Yuuki

@Sterno Said building is my house.

@Jutschge Just really, really bad smell.

Sterno

@Yuuki Making it a more specific building does not nullify the usefulness of the advice!

Yuuki

1:20 PM

@Sterno Where do I go after leaving the building?!

Frank

@Yuuki Doesn't matter.

Yuuki

I haven't eaten breakfast either.

Frank

It's for the fresh air.

Sterno

@Yuuki Strip club

Yuuki

If this happens again, I think I might have to invest in a gas mask.

5pike

1:21 PM

@Yuuki I wonder, do they neutralize bad smell?

Yuuki

> It depends on the type of cartridge in the gas mask and what it is intended to filter out. One of the most universal cartridges has activated carbon in it, it will filter out many types of noxious substances. It is also a great odor removal substance, it filters out many odor causing organics. Without activated carbon, it has little guaranteed chance.

Recent Questions - Arqade: Does Vaynes Tumble (Q) damage affect trinity force?

posted on September 10, 2014 by Philipp Sander

Yesterday we saw Doublelift build a Trinity Force on Vayne. However, I asked my self a few questions, since i never really played Vayne: Does her Q proc Spellblade? (I highly asume YES) Does her Q affect Trinity Force bonus damage? Example (armor calculation ignored) We have 100 AD and maxed Q. Our next attack after we Q (without TF) would deal 150 AD (100 *…

Then again, that's from Yahoo! Answers so take it with five tons of salt.

You're drunk again, Lazers

Powerlord

@MBraedley Complicated?

Sterno

1:28 PM

After having kids, it's amazing how many foods I used to like now just smell like smelly diapers to me. My wife gets pretty insulted when I sniff and say "Is there a poopy diaper somewhere?" and then she says "No, I'm making dinner."

MBraedley

@Powerlord Well, receiving multicast packets. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly right now.

Yuuki

@Sterno Your sense of smell has simply evolved to become prescient.

You're not smelling the food as it is now, you're smelling it as it will be in a few hours.

Arperum

@Sterno Indeed.

Powerlord

Oh jeez... on The Daily WTF, I just saw someone call electronic gadgets "male jewelry" (when talking about the Apple Watch) and someone else said "You're supposed to put it on your wrist, not your penis."

Frank

@Sterno Yeah, I can see why.

Jutschge

1:37 PM

Oh yay people start to ask league questions again. Finally something I can answer

Wipqozn

1:49 PM

@Sterno I find this amusing.

MBraedley

Ugh, stupid work computer. It seems like something is sucking down the CPU cycles, but nothing is showing up in task manager. Then when I try to restart, it can't even log out. It's a huge cost to my productivity, and I have to do this almost daily.

Powerlord

@MBraedley ...that sounds like what I go through except I actually can log out.

Then again, I know what my problem is: Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley so you can't log out? You can still pull the plug =p

MBraedley

Not using Symantec, using McAfee instead. I can tell that I have to restart when my audio starts getting wonky. That's the first perceivable indicator, but by then it's too late.

@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, I do forced shutdowns with the power button.

Q: "Laggy" cutscenes with my ps4

I've bought a ps4 with some games. But the "laggy" cutscene behavior occured only with two of them so far: Tomb Raider and Watch Dogs. To be more precise, the initial cutscenes are "laggy": the one which lara gets hit on the head at the beach and the one which shows the bikers chasing Aiden (Tom...

Hmm, apparently Ars Technica is saying Destiny isn't that interesting.

Yuuki

@Powerlord It's most likely hype backlash.

I don't think anything could've lived up to the hype Destiny generated.

3ventic

I checked out a Destiny stream on Twitch... and they spent over an hour killing one boss in one area, no changes to patterns or anything

5pike

@3ventic A similar boss was in the demo. Just a huge ball that shot energy beams (which were easy to avoid), that took an insane amount of punishment, even with heavy weapons. The only challenge was to get ammo drops.

Wipqozn

@3ventic Yeah, I've heard many complaints about the game thus far.

RPi Awesomeness

@3ventic Yeah...that's the one thing I find I don't like about Destiny. The Bosses take so long and really don't do much, especially that one spider tank.

Q: For which item slots are Warforged Items not available?

I want to know which item slots do not have the potential to receive Warforged or Heroic Warforged Gear. I know that the 2 slots I listed under 'Cosmetic' Slots cannot contain them, but what about the others? I have only seen Warforged versions of all the Main Slots, as well as Wrists and Neck ...

world-of-warcraft

3ventic

Not that it matters to me, it's not on PC.

RPi Awesomeness

IK!!

So ticked about that

3ventic

Not on PC = I'm not getting it

mostly because I'm not going to buy a console to play one game

5pike

@3ventic Good boy

Frank

Can we delete this answer already?

It's a video-only answer, and the poster has ignored requests to summarize the information.

Tim Stone

2:12 PM

@3ventic Yeah, I'm rather annoyed at the assumed deal that Ubisoft made with Sony and Microsoft to release AC:Rogue exclusively on 360/PS3 and ignore PC. The producers refuse to answer questions about that though so I guess it's just a waiting game until that exclusivity window expires. (Assassin's Creed is a guilty pleasure, shh)

Frank

And it's attracting a ton of spam suggested edits.

Powerlord

Honestly, if you're thinking about Destiny and haven't yet played the Borderlands games, you should take a look at them.

(Plus they're on PC as well as consoles)

Q: Can i give away unplayed DRM-free games?

Just wondering if it's ethical or not to giveaway some of my unplayed games. To add some perspective, i got these games from humblebundle.com. i want to give it away because i'm not interested in playing and/or it's not available for my OS.

Rapitor

@Powerlord mmm playing both I struggle to see similarities. I find myself comparing Destiny to Halo much more

5pike

@Rapitor Do you have Destiny? How are the guns? Do they still feel the same or did that change?

Rapitor

2:20 PM

@5pike I got it, yes. feel the same versus what. beta?

5pike

@Rapitor Yeah, the beta.

Because one scout rifle really felt like the next.

Rapitor

I didn't really play the beta that much to deeply analyze it or anything. just for like an hour or 2 to get a feel for it and confirm if I wanted to buy it or not. So I can't really say.

from what I have played guns do behave differently even if they are in the same "family"

I use pulse rifle (the burst fire) and as I've gotten new upgraded guns the recoil, reloads, mag size, and appearance have all been pretty different

Frank

Question for other techs: If a piece of software you support comes up as a virus, and the vendor refuses to tell you how it works, what do you do?

5pike

@Rapitor Mhh... sounds good. Because in the Beta, the only difference I noticed, that one had 10 bullets and the other had 7. Same ROF and reload time.

Rapitor

@5pike also I've noticed low level gun families don't vary too much. all of that comes in at level 20 gear. where each weapon as their own progression tree and look.

@badp when I can charge it!

Powerlord

@Frank Ummmm.... well, good thing that isn't my job here. :P

Frank

@Powerlord What would you do?

juanvan

@Frank that would sound an alarm...

Is is a false positive?

Frank

I'm curious, as I don't think I'm being unreasonable to make my concerns known that we shouldn't be using this software, if that's the sort of thing I get from the vendor.

@juanvan Oh, yeah, definitely.

But the response I got was, "Yeah, we're waiting on Norton to fix it."

juanvan

Ah - ya then adding the Exception to the anti virus

Rapitor

2:36 PM

@Frank Norton ... well there's your problem

juanvan

#1 problem connecting peach tree across a network - NORTON!

Powerlord

@Rapitor Yes, I'm surprised Norton is used in a corporate environment.

Jason Berkan

Gah! I can't find @Wipqozn in the user list. shakes fist

Powerlord

Then again, we use Symantec's corporate antivirus and it's causing performance issues on my PC whenever the definitions are updated (it does an immediate background scan on everything running/critical system files)

@Batophobia We are. The absolute worst.

@Rapitor So it's not the vendor I need to worry about? But Norton?

Powerlord

2:43 PM

@Unionhawk ...you did notice the Galaxy Note is wider?

Unionhawk

@Powerlord I did. Looking up how much of a difference it is now.

Rapitor

@Frank run it through an actually competent anti-virus and send them those reports.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan I am here.

Frank

@Rapitor I've had decent experiences with Norton.

A bit of a resource hog, but the virus scanner does the job rather well.

@Wipqozn I found you eventually. Hitler.

@JasonBerkan I'm such a monster.

Unionhawk

It's wider by 0.06 inches.

(1.4mm)

Frank

@Rapitor Apparently they get the same thing from Avast.

Unionhawk

I don't think that difference accounts for the difference in reaction.

At all.

Rapitor

@Frank I was the same way, then after a switched to Kaspersky it found a ton of viruses Norton just didn't notice, but as it is a bit expensive I went over to Avast(free) and even that found more than Norton
