Also, I wonder if @OrigamiRobot knows about Cities: Skylines. He might enjoy it. IT's a city building game being published by Paradox, the same company that made Europa Universalis IV.

Origami Robot

You can find the vault gem in normal grifts if you've ever found it on your account before.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot Yea, still need lvl 70 and torment 1 to get grift keystones.

Wipqozn

Origami Robot

Wipqozn

13:02

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, thinking about playing banished agai is what made me think of it , haha

If you do, download the mod.

@OrigamiRobot There's a major mod which adds a crapton of ne w stuff

@StrixVaria So pink. Not a colour you see much around my house.

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan I guess not, with four boys.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan But pink is the manliest of all the colours.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn True. However, clothing and toy manufacturers don't think so.

No. 7892142

Purple is a pretty rad colour.

Origami Robot

Green is the best color.

Arperum

13:12

@OrigamiRobot Nope. Blue is. Not bright blue, but some kind of darkish clear air blue. Green is second though.

Origami Robot

"darkish clear air blue" I have no idea what that means.

Blue and Green are my favourite colours.

"clear" and "air" would seem to indicate the opposite of "darkish" in my mind.

Jason Berkan

I don't believe a nomination post is actually necessary. SE will tap people on the shoulder.

Arperum

So it's an SE decision, and not community thing.

Sterno

13:20

She was really only born a few weeks before my son? For some reason I thought she was older.

fredley

@Arperum yup

StrixVaria

@Sterno Yeah I remember it was pretty close.

August 1

Sterno

Yeah, August 13 here. Time flies

Arperum

So that community nomination thing was just a big "I wanna be a mod" thing, just as I suspected.

Sterno

The crawling is coming soon!

StrixVaria

13:22

@Sterno Yeah she definitely looks like she's going to figure that out pretty soon.

She gets frustrated because she sees where she wants to be but can't get there.

Sterno

@Arperum Well, it's important to know who wants to be mod when choosing who to make mod

Arperum

Because the asked is one of the few who hasn't retracted his vote yet.

@Sterno True, but that question smells a lot like "I wanna be mod, but don't want to come out looking like I'm asking to be mod, because people don't like that"

Sterno

Well, the guy who asked it self-nominated, so he definitely came out looking like he wanted to be mod

(which is okay, IMO)

@Sterno "Wanting to be mod of ______ in particular says something about your character." Equally valid.

Sterno

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Do not use char(1) in your database to represent a 1 digit number or a boolean. You'll just make me hate you when I have to read your data out and verify that it's actually the type you're treating it as

@No.7892142 Okay. But for Lifehacks, it says something unflattering!

@fredley This would probably work far better there

No. 7892142

@Sterno For any other as well.

fredley

@Sterno for Lifehacks mod!

Sterno

@No.7892142 Well, I'll just step away from this while you consider that you just insulted every mod in chat. :)

Origami Robot

If someone wanted to be mod of OrigamiRobot.SE, I'd consider that very flattering.

No. 7892142

13:29

@Sterno I still don't see anything wrong with the statement.

Origami Robot

I nominate @Wipqozn

Arperum

@Sterno Wat. Why. Just use bit for the second option, and some int variation with an extra constraint on it to limit you to the wanted number range, or use decimal(1,0)

Sterno

@No.7892142 So you're basically saying there's something wrong with anyone who has ever run for mod anywhere?

@Arperum Right?

Jason Berkan

@Arperum He could have a table full of varchar(50) columns. I've seen that.

No. 7892142

@Sterno No, I was trying to convey that your statement was too generalised to be working.

Arperum

13:31

Why do people keep using string/char for everything?

Sterno

These people are using char(1) with "Y" and "N" (or maybe "y" and "n"? or maybe "t" and "f") to represent a boolean

Frank

@Arperum Because it's the most versatile!

You'll never get an InvalidTypeException!

Arperum

@JasonBerkan Same here. I know a system that I have to change stuff in every couple months that runs on mostly that.

fredley

@Sterno ord(c) > 110

Sterno

Here are the values of the PI_Person_Non_Employee_YN column:

1
Y
0
N

GO FUCK YOURSELF WHOEVER WROTE THAT

Arperum

13:33

@Frank Don't write code, doesn't give InvalidTypeExceptions either.

Origami Robot

Clearly you should use "Vcc" and "Gnd"

@Sterno Boolean problems aside, wouldn't it be more intuitive for it to be PI_Person_Employee_YN?

No. 7892142

@Sterno I enjoy that column name.

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Indeed! Particular when you're dealing with Oracle's shitty column name length limitations

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Yeah. Double negatives are so much fun.

Sterno

The best part is that it's the "Persons" table, so I'm not sure why every column has the "PI_Person" prefix

I guess just so you really, really remember where you are

But yeah, @Frank, that duna surveyor has a lander at the top, six satellites in the center section, and then the bottom is the drive section

5pike

SaintWacko

The lander is designed to be able to refuel itself by mining Karbonite, and carries enough dv to get itself into orbit and back down

With some orbital adjustment in there

Frank

@SaintWacko I hope you have something there for just firing out the satellites willy nilly. Because that would be awesome.

SaintWacko

And it also has enough dv to get from Duna to Ike

They fold out and then jettison

And each satellite has 1kmps of dv

Yuuki

@SaintWacko That doesn't look sturdy enough to survive launch.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki I'm sure it isn't

It also doesn't have enough dv to get into orbit

It's launched in three pieces

@SaintWacko You need two more pieces, for a proper combining mecha.

It just looks to weird to see what seems like the innards. Usually, rockets have a sheathing or cover.

Frank

@Rapitor The only reason they currently care is because they want regulators to allow them to buy Time Warner.

Who's #2 in the shitty customer service game.

@Frank I also don't think there is any country where that is legal, you get consent for the call to be recorded, not for a party to record said call

Frank

@KevinvanderVelden It won't stop companies from trying.

Kevin van der Velden

True

Frank

Control the narrative, and that's all that matters.

Sterno

Honestly, the idea that you can't record a phone call that you're involved in is ridiculous to me

Kevin van der Velden

But given that they can't stop you from recording, f that =p

Frank

I mean, this "data caps mandated by law" would be a non-issue, if the call wasn't recorded.

Comcast would just go, "We have no idea what you're talking about. That never happened."

Vulture is the 2nd ship in 1.2

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot The two-hardpoint gunship?

Origami Robot

Most are

The thought of anything less kind of astonishes me

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot thought so. I guess federal Corvette was announced too soon

or late.

Sterno

Someone explain to me how to use reddit to see my subscribed subreddits

because clearly I don't know what I'm doing

I'm subscribed to /games /gaming and /monsterhunter

Origami Robot

We'll have to see about the rest of the Vulture, but 2x Large hardpoints doesn't really interest me

Wipqozn

@Sterno ARe you logged in? Did you unsub from the defaults? Because they sub you to a bunch of subs by default

RedRiderX

@Sterno Are you logged in?

Sterno

16:56

I'm logged in. But I've never unsubbed. Maybe I need to go do that.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Don't worry, there's only a fuckton of them they sub you to now

Sterno

HOLY SHIT THEY SUBSCRIBE YOU TO A LOT

RedRiderX

To take care of that

fredley

@Sterno Say Hello to Frank!

Wipqozn

16:56

@Sterno It used to be 20. now it's around 50.

meeting time!

fredley

@Sterno unsubbing is reddit baptism

Private Pansy

@Sterno Oh yeah, when you create an account, all the defaults are subscribed. Best to unsubscribe from all of them

Dropping r/gaming is also a good idea

RedRiderX

@PrivatePansy Hey r/photoshopbattles/ and r/listentothis/ are still great

fredley

Unsub from all defaults.

user4704

I also found reddit much easier to browse when I turned off subreddit-specific styling.

fredley

16:58

@RedRiderX Are they defaults these days?

RedRiderX

@fredley Oh yeah

fredley

Also, get RES

@RedRiderX cool!

Private Pansy

@fredley Yeah, they made a lot of small subreddits defaults recently

RedRiderX

They've mixed it up quite a bit lately.

Private Pansy

Which may ruin those small subreddits, but who knows

RedRiderX

16:58

Also r/videos is pretty nice

@PrivatePansy The two I mentioned held up pretty well

r/oldschoolcool did not, however

fredley

r/diy is good

RedRiderX

@fredley Oh yeah it's still pretty good

Private Pansy

r/nottheonion has deteriorated a bit
