@Sterno yeah

Looks like the question has 4 close votes when it was locked, too, unless you voted on it after it was unlocked

Sterno

No, it was at 4 when locked

Oh, well, he rolled it back too, so at least the close vote is consistent

@Unionhawk y u do dis

@MattGiltaji Because I know @OrigamiRobot isn't an idiot

Sterno

9:04 PM

@Unionhawk Citation needed!

@Sterno Yeah, j musser just got a +1 in the respect book from me

@Sterno Well, I know @OrigamiRobot knows at least something about Elite Dangerous

badp

Who doesn't know something about Elite Dangerous?

You made it positively impossible not to know something about Elite Dangerous.

You're... welcome?

badp

The pile of things one is unable not to know about Elite Dangerous doesn't stop getting taller.

I for one cannot enumerate the number of things I no longer know as a result of my newly found knowledge about Elite Dangerous.

Knowledge of something about Elite Dangerous has become a permanent part of me, except for when it will be replaced with facts about stairs.

9:09 PM

@badp stairs?

Kevin van der Velden

I was just assuming it was a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff reference

this comic

9:32 PM

both

both are being referenced.

Hopefully this is sufficiently bothalicious.

Q: My monitor turns off when fridge starts. How can I stop this?

@badp i warned you about stairs bro. i told you dog.

i'm not sure how this requires a lifehack, but both mods have answered it

I just moved to a new flat and I brought my monitor with me. My problem is that whenever the fridge starts, my monitor turns off. This is not only annoying, but I'm concerned that it could cause long-term damage to my monitor. How can I fix this? I'm thinking some kind of energy regulator, but I'...

home technology electricity energy

@MattGiltaji don't start the fridge

@murgatroid99 tbh, i don't know how to start/stop a fridge. Mine is always on

user15026

@MattGiltaji Unplug it

user15026

9:47 PM

(Don't actually)

@MattGiltaji I'm not sure what you wanted to accomplish anyway

@OrigamiRobot that makes two of us

What's a good virtual cd/dvd program nowdays?

I've forgotten what I used to use

@OrigamiRobot i still use daemon tools

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot Virtual Clonedrive

Q: Buy Imperial Edition or wait for ESO Unlimited and what DLCs exist?

9:54 PM

I actively stopped using Daemon Tools for some reason

I don't remember why, but I remember it happening

@SaintWacko Sorry, I forgot to specify free :P

TZHX

@OrigamiRobot them bundling adware with their installers?

SaintWacko

@OrigamiRobot It is

TZHX

virtual clone drive is free, and a clean / good alternative.

I'm debating right now on this final day of whether to purchase the ESO Imperial Edition or just wait for the Unlimited Edition to be released tomorrow. In our case we're going to get four copies for our family to play together. I see that the Premium subscription comes with access to: a new ...

the-elder-scrolls-online

@SaintWacko Oh, my bad. Their download page lists all their software. I thought those were the mirrors

TZHX

9:56 PM

ofc will possibly go same way when it gains popularity.

At the top it says "You may download and evaluate our products for free for a period of 21 days. After this time you must register the products to continue using them." so that only added to my confusion

I think I use MagicISO

@murgatroid99 That sounds like a thing I used to use

user15026

Augh how do I un-mobile chat

user15026

I accidentally hit "mobile" and I don't know how to go back :(

10:00 PM

Should be a full site button uhh...in the room menu? I think

@OrigamiRobot I rarely use it though, because I rarely use ISOs except when I need a boot disk

@AshleyNunn Ask the chat gods for forgiveness.

Yeah, button in the bottom left, then in the overlay button in top right

user15026

@TimStone oh hallelujah that was scary

@murgatroid99 I haven't needed one is a long time or I'd remember what I used.

10:05 PM

Woo! One of the kits I was waiting for came into stock!

That puppy.

user15026

@Frank Pretty :D

user15026

That reminds me I should check my mail

@AshleyNunn I haven't shown you my kit backlog, have I?

user15026

@Frank dont think so

That's all the kits I currently have to work on. Minus one that I finished over the weekend.

RPi Awesomeness

10:12 PM

Wow

@Frank is the faded blue and white one a duplicate or just spans two boxes?

RPi Awesomeness

That is a lot of models O.O

@MattGiltaji I have two of them. :P

user15026

@Frank Niiice

Next one is hopefully going to be the 00 QAN[T]. If @OrigamiRobot can help me figure out cool spinny light thingies.

(All those kits actually take up the vast majority of one of my closets)

10:17 PM

@Frank do you have a huge display case for all of the models?

@Chippies Two, actually.

nice!

Problem is, I continually lend out my best work for other places. So none of it is in my display cases.

@Frank oh, what happened with the contest a few weeks back?

I have @AshleyNunn's hug gun in a contest. I sold my only Perfect Grade. I have one at work, to remind me of the good things in life.

10:19 PM

@Frank You kids and your hobbies

@MattGiltaji Still going, for the rest of the month.

I am still winning, surprisingly.

@Wipqozn When I pick up something new, I don't do it by halves.

@Frank MAkes sense. gives your choice.

@Frank we are not surprised, you did a kick ass job with the hug gun

user15026

@Frank I am still delighted that the hug gun is doing SO WELL

I don't believe I've seen the hug gun

10:23 PM

^ Hug gun

user15026

@Frank IT IS SO PRETTY

user15026

seriously I love it

@AshleyNunn That rainbow effect only happens on cameras. How, I have no freaking clue. But it does.

user15026

@Frank even without that it is freaking gorgeous

@AshleyNunn I never did find a proper metallic white. But a polished aluminum works out extremely well as a substitute.

10:25 PM

wife's playing Hyrule Warriors, found a map that gives amazing exp, I went from 83 to 87 in 10 minutes, she's now doing it on a lower level, went from 36 to 43 in 10 minutes

But then, I doubt I'll ever be totally happy with my work. There's always something else to change, fix, or otherwise improve.

@Frank even without flash?

@Chippies There's no flash there.

interesting

Just a desk lamp shone on it.

Batophobia

10:27 PM

@Chippies What map

It does interesting shadow effects.

@Batophobia very bottom left in master quest

have to get as many kills as you can in 10 minutes

@Frank nice

@StrixVaria I vote something from Pokemon.

^ The obvious choice.

Also good.

user15026

Bridge, what do you know about Android phones?

user15026

10:40 PM

(aka I need help deciding on things)

user15026

I am debating this phone: windmobile.ca/plans-and-devices/mobile-devices/device-details/…

user15026

Any reason why it would be a bad idea?

This needs another reject

user15026

or this one

@Frank added

user15026

10:43 PM

(aka I know shit all about phones)

@AshleyNunn the galaxy core seems to have better RAM and disk, but that is probably only relevant if you store a lot of stuff on your phone

The edit here. I just... is changing it to prostitutes instead of hookers better? I don't know what to do about that one...

user15026

@MattGiltaji I don't reallyu

user15026

I think I might go with the Moto G

@AshleyNunn my knowledge of those phones is limited to none. But I did like my last samsung alright. It did have some annoying features though

user15026

10:48 PM

@Ktash I just picked the ones my carrier offered for no money on the current plan I am on, so poor me can have a new phone for nothing

The worst (imo) being the fact you can stop the camera from making a fake clicking noise

@AshleyNunn Probably a good enough way to do thing :)

@Ktash I thought... that was a thing some law somewhere mandated? I guess not because it's a thing?

@Unionhawk It is a law in Japan

hmm

And maybe a few other places, I'm not sure. But it is not a common law. But all Samsung phones (last I'd heard) have the feature to turn it off disabled for everyone

10:50 PM

Actually, my phone can too. So it's not a samsung thing, not sure if it's a broader android thing or not

It's not an Android thing. I can turn mine off

It's just some manufacturers

@AshleyNunn are you ordering it online? if not, maybe go down to the store and see which one feels better in your hands

^ this actually

The feel of it is important. I really like mine a lot because of the feel and weight of it

If you have enough time, and care enough about it, that is

Wow. The Hawken devs went under, and Reloaded bought them out.

user15026

@MattGiltaji yeah, I plan to go down there because I need to hold it to know for sure

user15026

10:53 PM

butr the Moto G is looking like a good option

user15026

especially with teh expandable storage

user15026

and it is guaranteed upgrading to 5.0 afaik from a friend of mine

user15026

or at least, can run it, and I can always go "here please do the thing" if needed because phones are something I know NOTHING about in terms of messing with their bits

Oooh, that'll be a good thing

How long are you locked into phones before you can upgrade?

user15026

Thank you for letting me rubberduck, Bridge

user15026

10:57 PM

@Ktash I just got out of my current tab

user15026

hence the looking

Is it every 2 years?

(that's what it is here)

user15026

yeah

user15026

well, it is now

user15026

it was 3, but then they changed the law

10:58 PM

The Moto G has pretty good battery life from the looks of it (note: this battery life will assume you disable Moto Display, if it comes standard)

@AshleyNunn Yeah, and the version that comes with it is fairly free of manufacturer cruft

user15026

so I got stuck with 3

user15026

@TimStone Perfect :D

user15026

@Unionhawk I am not too worried over battery life, but that is good to nkow

The new Moto G has a slightly reduced battery life because it's got a bigger screen than the one that came out a year or so ago, but it's still a very solid phone for the price point.

10:59 PM

@Frank Oh yea, I forgot about this

@TimStone That's what I figured, a 5 inch screen at about 2000 mAh... Meh?

user15026

@TimStone I generally am not too far from something I can charge in so I am not too worried

I've always had phones with around 24 hours life

@OrigamiRobot No worries; I'm in no rush whatsoever.

user15026

@Unionhawk oh god my Galaxy Nexus rarely gets that but I also tend to use it a LOT

11:02 PM

My Moto X gets pretty good battery life most of the time except when the location service is being a complete idiot.

Q: Can I play the Campaign without using the website?

They're definitely improving overall battery usage (for definitions of "they" meaning "wizards?"), my old droid razr maxx had a 3300 mAh battery for a 4.3 inch screen, got about a day of life

user15026

I am just hard on things

user15026

I just really want to replace my phone because it restarts it self a lot randomly and just generally is slow and hates me

user15026

so this is a nice thing

user15026

that I can do for myself (even if at my current pace of movement, it will take me ALL day and make me super tired but whatever, one day at a time, it can be my tuesday adventure)

GUYS

GUYS THIS IS AN EMERGENCY

THE BOURBON. IT'S ALL GONE.

@LessPop_MoreFizz what about other liquors?

@MattGiltaji 1) Would you ask a motorist, who is out of gasoline; "What about other flammable liquids?"

2) No, I don't have any others anyway.

Q: Is the well in the market functional?

@LessPop_MoreFizz Why's the bourbon gone?

Lazers

0

The market structure in Banished features a well in the middle of the building. It looks exactly the same as the well structure that can be constructed to help with firefighting in areas of the town that are far from natural sources of water, but does it work in the same manner?

banished

@Ktash The bourbon is inside me now. It is a part of me and will live on forever.

11:46 PM

@Ktash #alwaysblamewipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz your bourbon must be pretty shitty to compare it to gasoline

@LessPop_MoreFizz Are you saying that given another variety of liquor, things may or may not blow up?

@MattGiltaji Only in it's inability to be substituted for.

@Unionhawk POSSIBLY!

...

@LessPop_MoreFizz so it's not gone, it's just been relocated?

@Chippies more like it's passed on to another life.

The Bourbon is A Part of Me Now.

11:52 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes. Yes I would.

Just to see the look on his/her face when I do it.

@Yuuki I mean, I don't think you'd get much more than a confused face. It's just that it's not helpful advice!

> The New York Times reported that "an anonymous Reddit employee sent a letter to Kleiner's legal team, asking them to subpoena Reddit employees 'for information regarding conflicts with Ellen Pao,'" presumably as evidence that her personality was holding back her advancement at KPCB.

Yup! Reddit doesn't have a misogyny problem! Nope. NO SIRREEE.

Just gonna get involved in the biggest sexual harassment trial in decades and stir shit up, but NOPE! NO PROBLEMS WITH WOMEN HERE.

@LessPop_MoreFizz What's KPCB?

@Yuuki Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, one of, if not the biggest venture capital firms in silicon valley.

Pao is a former partner there, who is currently suing them regarding a variety of discrimination and harassment claims. It's basically being covered as the Trial Of The Century within that set right now.

So, essentially someone at Reddit wants to give KPCB evidence against Pao?

@Yuuki more or less, yeah.

just kind of anonymously sending letters to the attorneys saying "HEY! SUBPENOA REDDIT, HERE THAR BE DIRT"

11:57 PM

But is doing it by asking for a subpoena so it doesn't look like Reddit's jumping on Pao despite not really being relevant to the case?

@Yuuki Here, have the whole story.
