shrug Meh.
I have no clue
Holy shit did we really only make it through 2 chapters in this class?
Oh my god
Yeah, I guess we spent half a semester re-learning circuits 1
Because "circuits for all engineers" is the most poorly designed class ever, especially when you try to assign homework in groups
Because all that does is causes 1 dude to pull homework answers and nobody else does anything, and also the lectures are meaningless
Because that 1 dude is a mechanical, and doesn't care
So nobody actually learns how to analyze circuits properly
Ever
And it's the worst thing ever
And all ECE professors hate it
and thankfully ECE 201 will be a thing (circuits for Electrical and Computer Engineers)
Wow that was a rant
Holy crap
I think my ECE professors have talked about this issue too much
04:22
I'm surprised you had to take circuits for all engineers
Hey chat, I'm bored.
holy fuck that took like an hour and a half
@OrigamiRobot Yep. All engineers do, and I am an engineer.
@LessPop_MoreFizz me too
I was working
and now I'm tired of working
Circuits for Electricals is going to be a thing... next year? I think?
04:24
@Unionhawk At UNCC, that class is only for non-electricals
I think we were the last class to have to deal with that shit.
Or the second last
Not sure
@spugsley I am contemplating making a cookout flavored mistake.
@LessPop_MoreFizz mmmmmmmmmmm
But I am probably too lazy to do that.
Which is probably for the best.
@LessPop_MoreFizz probably. Also, wanna do me a favor and add a flag to a piece of garbage that went up on TC today? :D
04:27
@spugsley Sure
the flag option is right next to the author's name, under the title
URL alone is making me want to throw things
another asshole using "satire" as a means to be an ignorant asshole
it's this particular author's MO
now I'm reading it and... what the fuck is this even
it's incoherent
it's horrible. Basically just offensive drivel
she thinks she's hilarious too
04:30
Goddammit what why
That is the only thing that can be said about that
@spugsley "Just a fun mom and a teacher at a retarded school. I like recipes and my kids. "
@LessPop_MoreFizz precisely
@spugsley the twitter account is... enlightening
BUT supposedly, after the first, actual paid freelancers are getting badges to show what content TC actually endorses
which is kinda neat. I like the idea because I like badges and also getting paid
@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you... I had to check to see if you were kidding.
04:32
@LessPop_MoreFizz she is literally the worst
You were not
What the shit
@spugsley he
@Unionhawk flag the article? :3 I want it taken off
Usually when @LessPop_MoreFizz is not kidding, it's not a good thing
04:32
@LessPop_MoreFizz wait...what....
really?
that has to be a joke

Q: I'm trying to make a map in Minecrafft but I can't make it not say my name

user95927Command blocks on 1.8.1 as far as I know won't let me say something to players but not to the creators and it's driving me mad!

O_o
actually, I'm going to send a note to my editor. I want him pulled or I might be out
What the shit
hm, the rest of the stuff isn't as bad. It's just annoying. I am surprised by how many people in the comments are a fan
04:41
People get paid to write this crap?
What has the world come to
Is this the internet? What is this.
It boggles my mind that someone got paid to write that article
@Unionhawk I don't think he gets paid
Oh that would explain it
Okay
I think he's a submission person
TC has both
Faith in the Internet has been restored
to its normal level of no faith at all
lol if he DOES get paid, he definitely does not get paid what I get paid
but I seriously doubt it
04:43
@spugsley making that big internet money
@Unionhawk lol maybe he gets paid more than I do
I'm going to go crawl under a rock now
maybe everyone loves him and I just don't get it
Not sorry for what I am about to inflict on this chat:
I am so bad at charts ;__;
@spugsley It's a Venn-ish diagram
DENVER AIRPORT
@Lesspop you're very weird
04:47
@LessPop_MoreFizz The Illuminati Club is reserved for the most frequent of fliers....TO OUTERSPAAAAAACE. ALIENS.
> Conspiracy theorists believe that Denver International Airport is the western U.S. headquarters of the New World Order, and a massive underground base and city is believed to exist underneath the airport.
> Reasons for this include the airport's unusually large size (larger than some major cities), distance from the Denver, Colorado city center, the set of environmentally themed murals by artist Leo Tanguma depicting burning cities, gas-mask wearing soldiers and girls in coffins, and the capstone of the Great Hall which includes Masonic symbols and strange writing.
Conspiracy theorists are very weird
Denver airport is awesome
How dare they
@LessPop_MoreFizz ...wtf that mural
@TimStone FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT: gaming.stackexchange.com/a/196912/3129
@Unionhawk Denver Airport has the demon horse.
@LessPop_MoreFizz The base is totally real, it's in Splinter Cell: Blacklist!
04:52
@LessPop_MoreFizz HOW DARE YOU
@Unionhawk HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT DURING A STORM?
IT IS TERRIFYING.
Colorado is my first favorite state how dare you
I don't have a second favorite state
Utah is not it for reasons
Yes those reasons, Lesspop. Don't judge me.
@Unionhawk I never said it wasn't awesome.
Just that it's terrifying.
> Which fell on its creator and killed him during placement.
Terrifying indeed.
It's out for blood!
04:55
ALSO THE TENT STRUCTURE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FREAKIN MOUNTAINS YOU PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET LOOK AT IT THINK ABOUT IT ARGHAKJDLKJASHLKAHELKSD
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's the coolest thing.
Dude now I wish I was flying into denver in January
@Unionhawk Also, it is... very anatomically accurate
But I won't miss 3 hours of ground transportation
ugh
That's always the worst

Q: Looking for Realism Mod for the Original Driver Game (You are the Wheelman)

user2348797So I've installed Driver on my computer and even though it's an old game it works. I've been playing it, but it would be great to have a graphics update. So, I'm wondering if there are any mods out there that update the graphics. It's the original Driver game from 1999. It's hard to Google search...

Q: Cannot find players in Halo Combat Evolved

AngryHackerI go into multiplayer mode and select any game type. And regardless what game type I select, it says Players Found... (after a little while) but then it does not find any game for me to play. And it stays that way - there are no error messages. Am I missing something simple?

04:58
@LessPop_MoreFizz They have a lot of good points.
Denver still ranks at the top of my favorite airports to travel to
Miami is bad, FLL is worse, Dayton is small, CVG makes me sad, and everywhere else has been a connection.
@Unionhawk Vermont was the worst airport I've ever been to
it's literally a hallway
Miami and FLL are huge, but once you're past security it's quite small.
@spugsley how quaint. Clearly you have never experienced the hell of LGA.
Charlotte is a nice airport.
Atlanta is nice too
05:01
just what the fuck is this
@LessPop_MoreFizz and there was one in Florida...I can't remember which one it was but it was also just a hallway
@Unionhawk yeah it's not bad
@spugsley You can get to other concourses past security and explore on a 4 hour layover.
That's basically my one requirement to be considered a good airport
If I cannot explore for better food in downtime, then your airport sucks.
@ElfSlice Reminds of Romantically Apocalyptic
@Ktash except actually fucked up and nothing like those at all except for the gas mask
@ElfSlice And the uniform, which is what reminded me of it
05:04
Well yeah, it's a nazi uniform. I think.
Really? Looks generic military to me. At least for the era it would be from. The crest on the hat would probably be the giveaway but I don't know if that in particular is meant to be an indication of the crest used by the Nazis
shrug I dunno.
It's still fucked up
Why is that an in airport?
What's with the women holding the dead babies?
@LessPop_MoreFizz Do you actually know anything about that
Goddammit @Lesspop this is your fault
I'll have you know
Wait you already didn't apologize for it
dammit
Welp
@ElfSlice holy fucking hell what in the shit is this?
@spugsley Denver Airport
05:10
@spugsley A mural from the Denver Airport, apparently.
Blame @Lesspop
I'm pretty sure whatever conspiracy theory there is about that is true
...
Of all of the things that could have possibly initiated from that, denver airport was not on the list originally.

Q: Do you lose gold/elixer in clan wars?

sebastianI'm not sure if you actually lose gold and elixer so I'm wandering it you do so I know how to set up my base. Don't judge I'm a newbie to this game. :)

mornings are the worst of the worst
05:11
The worstest.

@spugsley http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Denver_Airport_conspiracy_theory
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh oh okay I see it there now
wowowowowow
> The mural in question is a multiple piece of art called "In Peace and Harmony With Nature" and "The Children of the World Dream of Peace" by Leo Tanguma. The first part has the soldiers, the second that is omitted from the conspiracy is much happier.[14] The artist stated the mural was to "... depict man-made environmental destruction and genocide along with humanity coming together to heal nature and live in peace."
also clearly it is the fault of ObamaCare, a system by the time cube for the lizards' shadow 'luminati government
Hey! Whoa! Watch where you're flinging those apostrophes @badp!
05:17
@LessPop_MoreFizz But what about the New World Airport Commission?
@badp urmoms a lizard shadow
> After further research the New World Society named in the plaque is a collection of small businesses that helped promote the airport to become a new world hub airport.
Fake
Who is this new world society and can they declare CVG a hub again?
Seriously, CVG is the saddest airport that ever was.
@Unionhawk False. LGA exists.
I think maybe 2 concourses from 1 terminal open out of previously 3 terminals.
Nobody is there ever
No direct flights exist
05:19
@Unionhawk That is literally impossible\
Unless you're going to atlanta, chicago, charolotte, or DFW
And who goes there?
Nobody that's who
At least not me
@LessPop_MoreFizz Delta has managed to do it.
(what I meant is it's near-100% Delta Express and whatnot)
Even though fucking Delta promised not to drop hubs
THEY WENT AND DID IT ANYWAY
05:35
@Unionhawk Illuminati is the 'luminati's front
Real 'luminati are too busy 'luminating the world to speak the name in full
Their logo is a poorly drawn triangle drawn in whatever tool is handy

Q: how do people check how many characters there are added/removed when editing question/awnser

codermasterwhen sombody edits a question, he always leaves like "added 70 characters in body" in the explenation. I don't think everybody counts the amount of characters they add. how do they know how many characters have been added? Is it witten somewhere or do they just count?

Sadness, it seems I was the only one in this group of degree-grabbing people who made their presentation in LaTeX.
Best answer of the day. It even quotes @Frank
One particularly deranged individual even had the gall to use Keynote.
@KevinvanderVelden That. I don't like the question myself, feels way too broad and undefined.
09:34
@badp that's pretty horrible
09:52
Yep, also despite being the first to present I was the only one who used the microphone; those who didn't had their voice covered by construction workers outside :(
Because reasons.
Reasons are the best
One of my friends is also holding their final presentation for their degree today! They heard it was today on Tuesday.
And it's official, 6 presentations, 2 in keynote, 1 in LaTeX D:
At least I saw no one typeset their thesis in Word.
Nice, I think I might also have been the only person using LaTeX for the presentation, it worked pretty well
Yesterday at the print office there was one freshly printed — and it was actually done in Word and Papyrus.
I kid you not.
weeps for mankind
09:55
I was alone at that moment luckily so no one listened to my pained gasps.
Okay this last one had a gfycat of his app in action; that was cool.
Fancy, I just used a mpeg =p
10:12
Gah, I keep looking for my hot chocolate, but the machine is broken :(
@Arperum :(
On the bright side, machine hot chocolate is terrible anyway
@KevinvanderVelden But it contains sugar and I'm sleepy, so I need it.
@Arperum That is a very good reason for drinking it, agreed =p
10:31
sugar free for life
much healthier to consume large quantities of aspartame instead of sugar
oh...
I'd still rather have a sugar cube than an aspartame cube =p
well yeah, it's like 200x sweeter than sugar so the cube would have to be a lot smaller
Naah, just a cube of pure aspartame the same size as a regular sugar cube
I think you'd die from the sweetness alone

lolz
@Chippies That's terrible.
Now I can't even buy a random present for a non-EU bridge member. I'm assuming UK is also separate, since UK is cheaper to buy stuff than rest of EU...
UK is both in EU and USA
Should be fine
@Arperum It does however prevent the buying cheaply in bulk in cheap countries and selling them for a profit in expensive countries
11:09
@KevinvanderVelden True.
@KevinvanderVelden This can also be solved by putting a limit on cross-region transfers
To be honest, I'd have preferred it if they set a limit on it, say, 10 per month of so
I reacted before reading though, and seems EU/US are not separate (yet)
@KevinvanderVelden wouldn't work, sellers just make more accounts.
@Arperum isn't there also already a thing where you can't trade things if you made your account in the last 3 months or something?
@KevinvanderVelden SO that'll stop if for these 3 months, and by then the resellers have a massive account pool
11:13
How about, you can only send gifts if you actually play games on the service
@KevinvanderVelden let account idle in F2P game?
@Arperum still makes it more difficult
@KevinvanderVelden what would be the line where it begins counting as "has played games"?
@KevinvanderVelden True, but not enough for the resellers to care.
11:15
many legit people hardly even play games on steam
some people buy games, but play them like once a week/month
@Chippies But those also don't go gifting away whole piles of games to people on the other side of the world.
@Arperum unless it's, say, christmas
A combination of the things suggested by @kevin could give goldsellers a rather annoying time though.
also, in the hypothetical scenario suggested, there was a limit of 10 per month, which isn't a whole pile, imho
@Chippies How many games do you gift to the other side of the world on christmas?
11:17
@Arperum idk, 11?
depends on how many friends you have on the other side of the world
I don't gift any, but you know what I mean
@Chippies This is true
I know, but right now even wanting to gift a single one is impossible already.
I found this: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/196940/… Why is this a thing that exists?
@KevinvanderVelden He self-answered whatever that was, too.
@Arperum also depends on which side of the world you are
@Chippies True, would gifting to Russia from the us STILL BE POSSIBLE,
11:21
> Today we have propped a change that will affect all packages on Steam which will not allow them to be unpacked to an account, if gifted or traded from a lower priced region to a higher priced region.
it should be
@Chippies Great, so I can still send gifts, but not receive them from outside EU.
the region lock affects games going from cheaper -> more expensive places
I doubt it would affect US <-> EU, tbh
the difference in price is mostly taxes
I believe the countries in question are russia, brazil and others of their kind
where prices are a lot lower
@Chippies US is way cheaper then EU, like 20% cheaper.
@Arperum and the tax in EU is on average like, more than 20%
@Chippies yeah, but the price on steam includes taxes in most places in the EU already
11:24
@KevinvanderVelden do you have to pay the VAT on top of the price in EU? afaik you don't
VAT is included in the price
I assume the US prices are also the price you get them for, VAT included?
@Arperum there is no VAT in the US, afaik
It's just the whole 1$ = 1€ nonsense.
@Chippies That is what I said, the price on steam includes taxes
VAT is a tax
@Chippies The endresult is still that the games bought through the EU store cost you 20% more.
11:25
@KevinvanderVelden everything is more expensive in EU, because of the VAT
in the US/Canada you have to deal with taxes yourself
@Chippies depends on the state
and I doubt anyone pays taxes for their digital games
although they probably maybe possibly should, idk the laws
@Chippies that makes no sense, "Everything is more expensive because you pay the taxes when you buy it, rather then having to later declare it"
The time does not change the price
@KevinvanderVelden the difference is that the VAT is included in the price in EU, the tax you have to declare, I sincerely doubt anyone declares their digital games for taxes
@Chippies the fact that people are dodging taxes does not mean there are no taxes
11:28
@KevinvanderVelden so you are agreeing that games in EU are not more expensive?
if we say there are taxes, then if we remove these taxes, prices are the same, no?
I have no idea what you're saying
Price in US 60$ + Taxes, price in NL 60 Euro, including taxes
And I have no idea what you're saying
@KevinvanderVelden Exactly, remove the tax from the 60 Euro and you have same price
If the US VAT is 23% then they're equally expensive
that was the whole argument
@Chippies They are more expensive. If have to pay more, I'm not looking at the part where the state takes a bigger share.
@Chippies But is there a VAT of 20+% in the US?
11:30
@Arperum at least you got healthcare
your VAT goes somewhere
And decent roads... oh wait no you live in Belgium
@Chippies True, but that doesn't change the fact that I pay more for my game.
lol, belgian roads
@Arperum well, I did say you pay more, because of the taxes
Also: after a quick google search VAT/other sales tax in the US is 5-10%
11:31
@fredley I don't know why they even have signs indicating when you've crossed the border, the roads will tell you
but Kevin tried to push it both ways, so theoretically, if we remove the tax, the prices are equal
So we do actually pay 10-15% more.
@Arperum but you're paying the tax to the country, you're not paying for the game per se
it's not something that steam came up with to screw you over
(60/1.19) Euro = 62.0604202 U.S. dollars
it's the EU that came up with the VAT
11:33
Cost of a game in holland, minus taxes, in dollars
@Chippies Steam does screw us over for a couple dollars though, that is the point.
@Arperum Well, I'm not saying their pricing is perfect, but to my knowledge, the prices are usually set by the dev/publisher, not steam
and you can't have perfectly equal pricing with conversion rates constantly changing
@Chippies I haven't seen a single case with a different price in Euro than in Dollar. Even if humblebundle has a fair priceexchange.
@KevinvanderVelden yup, this
@Arperum I have been blessed by being a dirty pirate when I lived in Europe and never seeing steam prices for more than just a glance, so I can't comment on that

@Rapitor so if i removed the 'higher level' armor my level would drop?
@djsmiley2k yep
k, thats far simplier than it made out :D
armour items are +level stat boosts
you increase the light level of the armour, you increase the stat boost?
@LessPop_MoreFizz pfft, this is nothing compared to the crazy (and douchbaggery) of Sandy Hook Conspiracy Theorists.
13:44
@Wipqozn of course not. Part of what's appealing about the DIA nuts is just how quaint it all feels, post 9/11-truthers.
In the age of Chart Brut, DIA feels like a throwback.
@LessPop_MoreFizz That's true. DIA doesn't do any harm, whereas the Sandy Hookers have actually called up the families of victims to call them liars...tl;dr fuck people
