Still not a single incident was caused by a Google self-driving car
Someday there's going to be a group of people trying to ban human-driven cars and there are going to be car activists like there are gun activists now.
If anything the problem is that they're just driving through the same few streets the cars know palm by palm
so they'd probably be in deep trouble outside of their hood
Potentially, yes
14:01
@StrixVaria That's a disturbing thought.
> The USA is putting curbs on surveillance, expanding its national healthcare, and there are mass parental boycotts of standardised testing in its public schools. The UK just elected a Tory majority government that's going to continue to slash and burn the welfare state, attack schools, health, legal aid and teachers, and impose mandatory cryptographic backdoors in the technology we use to talk to each other.
> They've even announced that merely not breaking the law is no reason to expect that you won't be arrested.
@StrixVaria In the grim future when skynet controls the roads...
> Keep human-driven cars on the racetrack and away from our children!

Q: Is there a way to cancel or manually end manipulate?

msg45fSo, I'm in the battle arena on disc 1. I had my green materia broken, so when the arena brought out Zemzelett, I thought it would be the perfect chance for a free heal, as I knew I could manipulate him and use white wind on Cloud. This was a bad idea. Unfortunately, Zemzelett only has two actio...

@StrixVaria I hope this doesn't happen in my lifetime because that would be weird as hell
14:03
@fredley On the flip side, the US supreme court endorses capital punishment as payback for legalizing gay marriage! That'll show us!
@StrixVaria Honestly, AI-driven racing would probably be way more fun to watch than human-driven racing
@twobugs I mean, it's fine because that decision boils down to a "states are allowed to do this thing yes"
It's like the NFL Gorilla problem, though.
@twobugs Agreed, but there would still be car enthusiasts who need somewhere to drive. Think of it like the shooting range of the future.
NEURAL NETWORK RACING
The NFL Gorilla problem is a fun thought experiment, though.
14:05
We've already started that, SethBling did a thing with Super Mario Kart with a modified version of his script that can learn to play Super Mario World
For anyone unaware: Assume that tomorrow a Gorilla with human level intelligence is discovered. He perfectly understands the rules of football, and wants to play. What do we do?
Hope that doesn't happen.
Boom.
BOOM
Arguably, his strength would make him dominant to the point that it negatively impacts the game, and other teams need to start finding their own intelligent Gorillas
@fredley Huh. Is London going to be the real-life example of a cyberpunk dystopia?
Do the rules of the NFL say anything about players must be human?
I have to imagine that's come up.
14:06
But that isn't really his fault. He just wants to play football.
That would make it pretty cut and dry what to do.
Do we have to create a new league for gorillas?
@StrixVaria All I know is that there's no rule that says dogs can't play.
Why would that have come up
@Unionhawk Because there are definitely trainable animals that could have some conceivable advantage.
"Let's stick the ball on this horse."
"Ok, horse, run that way."
Who the fuck is going to jump in front of a horse?
14:07
@StrixVaria neigh means neigh
...what
@StrixVaria A T-rex might.
@StrixVaria pikemen
If this hasn't come up then people aren't competitive enough in coming up with new strategies.
Face it: animal sports are way better than human sports.
14:08
I remember reading an article about a guy who taught his 10-year-old girls' basketball team to play a full court press all game, and they kept crushing all the opposing teams. Opposing parents complained, but they were idiots. In competitive games, you do anything within the rules to win.
@fredley i met cory doctorow in LA some years ago. he was a professor at USC for a few semesters
It is the year 2025. Dinosaurs have been successfully cloned so they can play American Football for our amusement.
@fredley Anyway, back to what I saying, London is already under almost complete surveillance (at least from what I've heard), there's that weirdo sketchy paedophilia ring run by elite members of government (supposedly, I'm not too sure about this but I hear this a lot), and London's apparently the financial capital of the world.
And there's that whole City of London (which is a different place from London, I know) that sounds like it's basically run by corporations.
I also heard that the current PM is a member of the lizard illuminati
14:10
@Yuuki There's a really cool image of some newspaper or tabloid or whatever calling someone a pedophile and on the adjacent page oogling some 15 year old
T-Rex, professional linebacker.
Which is much more secret than the regular illuminati
@Unionhawk hivemind, not illuminati
@GodEmperorDune No, I'm pretty sure he's lizard illuminati
@MadMAxJr MMA with Dinosaurs.
14:10
The Illizinati?
I know what I said and I said what I meant
Someone get Spielberg on the horn. I've got the plot for the next 10 Jurassic movies.
@Unionhawk But did you mean what you said?
@Yuuki YES
user15026
@twobugs There would totally be a gambling market for that
14:11
@Unionhawk oh thats right, lizardman hivemind controls stack exchange, lizardman illuminati controls governments
WAIT NO
@twobugs But dog fighting is illegal? You monster.
Where do we draw the lines on what animals we can bet on in fights to the death?
@StrixVaria just don't add dog dna to the mix
@StrixVaria Pokemon are not dogs.
@StrixVaria T-Rex are totally okay to fight
That's where the line is
14:13
What kind of society would we be if a T-Rex couldn't fight it's weight in monster trucks for our amusement this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday?
Man, if someone campaigned on the real issues like T-Rex football I would be a lot more interested in politics.
@MadMAxJr i thought that was car o saurus
@GodEmperorDune Aw man, you spoiled the halftime event.
@twobugs Why do you think I pay more attention to Elite politics? :P
@Unionhawk ...Maybe I need to get into Elite.
14:14
T-Rex can play football, but dinosaurs specifically genetically engineered to be superior football players are prohibited.
Actually, it's been pretty boring lately
All football players have to be genetically identical clones to prevent anyone from having an unfair advantage
@Yuuki yup
I am a cyberpunk
That way we could have a species of dinosaur created specifically for football.
@GodEmperorDune He lives a few streets away from me. See him around sometimes.
@Yuuki not sounds like, is
14:16
We'd bioengineer superior plating and cushioning, but we'd still make them wear novelty undersized jerseys and padding for our amusement
@fredley that's cool
All this talk about dinosaur football and you're skipping the part where we're supposed to give them an education!
95% of these guys aren't going to go pro.
And this discussion just took a turn for the stupid
It wasn't stupid the moment 'Dinosaur football' popped up?
Nope.
14:17
Don't be so negative. Collegiate Dinosaur football might get me to care about sports.
Dinosaur football is compatible with my brain
Dinosaur college is not.
Collegiate dinosaur football is more authentic than professional dinosaur football.
> DINOSAUR HOUSE!!!!!
I need more coffee to put up with you idiots
@Unionhawk Too much blood in your caffeine stream?
14:19
I do like one idea out of this.
We can have a literal team of Utah Raptors.
Would they be mormon, though?
@MadMAxJr I think the Utah Raptors are already a thing?
Somebody is the raptors
@Unionhawk the veloci raptors
@Unionhawk thatsthejoke.uni?
14:24
@Yuuki thatsa.jif
@Unionhawk Yeah, but it's a jeep, so it's funnier that way.
There would be lots of opportunities to take human sports to the next level, too.
@Yuuki I clenched, but then had nowhere else to go
.jeepf?
You've seen how fast Usain Bolt is. Now see how fast he is when he is chased by raptors!
14:25
Toronto!
Toronto Raptors
That's right

Tonight's football game features the Moutnain Dew-Rexes vs. The Doritos Deinonychus. Should be a good matchup.

That is precisely what it is

Q: Halo mcc lighting upgrade for 3 and 4?

smuggledPancakesI read that the only upgrades made to the ports of 3 and 4 were 108p, 60fps, and "a lighting upgrade". What do they mean by that? Do the games use HDR now or is there better lens flare? I am just curious...

I blame @Sterno for my lack of productivity
@Unionhawk you should blame @Wipqozn
14:38
yep

Q: Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection - Generic Error?

MikeRecently I wanted to play Zoo Tycoon 2 again. I had bought the Ultimate Collection version three years ago and installed it on my old desktop (Windows XP) and it ran fine. Now, here I am on 8.1 and wanting to play it again. This laptop (a Samsung ATIV Book 4) doesn't have a CD drive and I didn't...

@Sterno You seem like a good of a person as any to blame
No.
Default blame goes to @Wipqozn
You're doing it wrong.
I'M OVERRIDING DEFAULT BLAME AND BLAMING YOU
YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHO TO BLAME
YOU'RE NOT MY DAD
14:47
This drama brought to you by Professional Dinosaur Football.
@Unionhawk Twist: @Sterno is actually @Unionhawk's mother.
Twist: they're both dinosaurs who hate football.
Stare generator activate @OrigamiRob
Oh yeah

areefa allyI got through on my desktop easily but on the laptop the launcher stops and says there is a corruption.I tried many things but all failed.

Q: Why does my 16-year-old hate me?

Julie4435637My 16-year-old son says the most awful things to me. I feel he is deliberately trying to upset/provoke me constantly. For example, last night at the dinner table he said, "I am not going to try to get into a good college because if I got into a good - that would make you happy." He is very oppo...

@Unionhawk That was a fun time
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times
Trine 2 is so ridiculous
@fredley This is the one event where one can quantifiably say that you are literally worse than @Wipqozn
That Portal 2 mod is amazing btw
Portal Stories: Mel
I swear all of these experience pickups I'm completely failing to get are the ones designed for multiplayer
15:02
Well worth it
@PrivatePansy Yeah, I thought 1 was better. 2 is very pretty
Only about half way through and loving it
I'm stuck at the second chamber now. I need a hint button somewhere
3 looks... weird
@twobugs I've been coming up with some ridiculous solutions to the puzzles, because some of the powers you get later on are so OP
Low gravity field is amazing
15:03
Yeah, the powers were very cool. I just felt the level design in 2 wasn't as good
@PrivatePansy I'm pretty sure that one is from the expansion.
@Arperum It is, and so is the magnetic item and shield ability
The two of those aren't very powerful, but the low gravity field basically breaks a lot of puzzles, which makes it so much fun
@PrivatePansy I haven't played with these yet. I played through the original game with a couple of friends in one sitting, there was a lot of shouting that night.
@fredley You're actually getting somewhere. I've been asking the Bridge for help in literally every puzzle I've come to so far
@PrivatePansy Yeah they're hard, and they don't help you nearly as much
I needed to look up 2 so far, though one was just getting lost
15:08
@PrivatePansy You should ask your trine puzzles on the site :p
after (spoiler?) leaving hatch 4
The music is really annoying too :P
but otherwise, good stuff!
@fredley Why?
I kind of like the music, but it's a bit too strong for a game that requires concentration
Also, they're short, so they loop a lot
You'll hear the same notes over and over and over again while you try to figure it out, and it feels like the game is taunting you
@Arperum Very repetitive, and... not that good
Dunno, just stuck out as quite low quality in an otherwise high quality production
You can't be good at everything.
15:11
@fredley I saw a bit of a play through from Scott Manley, and now I want to play it.
Oh hey, there's a new image upload interface
That would be like making me do graphics, that's going to end up in tears anyway.
@MBraedley It's cool
I know nothing about it
I want this now
I just need the time to download and install it. And then of course play it.
15:15
Gah. Now I want to play that too. And I also want to play terraria 1.3 tonight. ANd I have to clean up this mess of a house tonight.
Portal Stories: Mel - highly recommend
You are the worst.
@fredley status: worse than @Wipqozn
moves to other room for a second to get the mod download started
Hah. Mojang Scrolls marked for end-of-life. Guess Hearthstone killed that one.
15:16
Downloading fredley...
fredley    [ <=>                    ] 159 MB
I see what you did there
Moderators are surprisingly smaller than I thought. I should keep one of you on a USB stick
YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A PORK CHOP
I would.
Well no, you 3d print porkchops
15:18
@MadMAxJr that is an indefinite progress bar.
@badp I'd imagine @fredley would still not be a huge download
Does that reallyt require me to redownload everything that is portal 2?
Well it's a Portal 2 mod.
@MadMAxJr I HAVE THAT GAME INSTALLED
@MadMAxJr I'd download a porkchop schematic
@Unionhawk Only, like 100 pixels
15:20
IF I want to install the mod it tells me it needs to 7.5GB of disk space.
@Arperum Yup. It's as expansive as Portal 2
I have to admit that portal 2 is 11+GB though.
I did not expect a download that big.
ah well, download limit resets in a couple days anyway, and I haven't done mad downloading this month, so no problems there.

Q: Minecraft Pocket Edition spawn bug

JohnI was killed by a zombie in minecraft pe 0.10.5,and instead of spawning me at my bed, a bug was continusly changing my position.Chunks appeared and dissapeared continously(visually).I reloaded the world and I died again.I respawned in a cave deep underground.How do I get my items back?(please not...

@Arperum It's a standalone game
You can actually install and play it without Portal 2 installed
@PrivatePansy Seems so
15:26
it does require the game to be in your library though
Maybe for the Source engine
Probably for licensing reasons.
It shoudl be downloaded by the time I figure this thing out that I'm working on.
@Unionhawk It's important to remember
@Yuuki That looks like its from a mod
15:33
I... o...kay?
Near the head would be a better place to hide it, easier to reach.

@PrivatePansy Or someone who placed it there.
user15026
@Sterno Yes.
@Unionhawk It took a while because I had to dezalogify a bit because it was too long originally
15:34
@Sterno Get your Zalgo out of my text!
@Arperum I meant the name of the item
@PrivatePansy Negative
That book is a running joke in TES
@Unionhawk The V2 in specific.
I thought volume 2 existed
15:35
I vaguely recall a vol 2 as well
@Unionhawk Isn't the normal skyrim way to right " vol 2" instead of ", V2"
Could just be like, SkyUI
The starred version of that block of Zalgo is even better.
Correct name it seems.
I just picked the first result google gave me, don't blame me for using a wrong wiki.
UESP is the only true TES wikia

Q: How to get the second propeller for the flying machine?

Private PansyAt the last part of the Flying Machine level in the Goblin Menace, you need to finish assembling the machine by picking up two propellers. The first was found easily, but the second appears to be connected to the ceiling with an unbreakable rope. There's a flame on the left (not currently act...

Q: Skyrim Lydia missing

SeazinoI told Lydia to wait near the bridge at whiterun so I could go kill some giants, in my way I encountered a dragon and when I go back to the bridge I can't seem to find her there? What do I do?

Soup was very watery.

I just had a microwavable dinner. That's what I usually have for lunch.
user15026
My lunches are mostly whatever I had for dinner the night before :)
@AshleyNunn Dinner tonight is usually what I had for dinner two nights ago, if I'm not making something new.

(I like cooking. I wish I had more people to make food for.)
@AshleyNunn (I like eating. I wish I had more people to eat food from.)
Since getting home time is heavily influenced by traffic, having something ready that I just have to nuke is desirable.
I never understood how nuke became the verb for microwave
16:40
I can cook up 3 or 4 servings of something on Sunday, and then only have to actually cook something 1 or 2 nights through the week.
It's just so... unscientific
@PrivatePansy Blame 50s and 60s US
@PrivatePansy Because some people for some reason believe(d) microwaves work by nuclear magic.
@MBraedley Leftovers are wonderful
I just recieved the most glorious message from my roommate
> The key is under the door
I can't wait to get home and see if he cleared everything otu
I was going to say, didn't he already move out?
You'll go home and find out he took the whole building with him.
user15026
@Wipqozn Here's hoping he didn't leave you any more garbage
@AshleyNunn Yup
At least you can now have a home office...
16:43
Heh
@MBraedley He "moved out" yesterday, but left moy of his everything. He was supposed to get the rest of it today.
From what I can tell he basically just removed everything from his home, save for a computer chair and his bed.
@Powerlord I like the logic/excuses here "No, we're not going to slow down the people who can't pay! That would be silly! We're just going to speed up everyone else!"
and left everything else
@SaintWacko If wonder if anyone has said "It'll be like the autobahn of internet!"
Because if they have, might make a return.
Bah, I forgot how to do tags
@twobugs And you're going to be stuck on the local roads
16:46

Thank you, @MBraedley
I NEED MORE TIME.
It's nearly 7PM, I still have to prepare food, do dishes, clean the whole house, play terraria 1.3 and portal stories:mel. ANd all that before 1AM.
I need more time.
Wait, is Terraria 1.3 out?
EHRMAGHERD
@SaintWacko IN 6 minutes.
16:54
Damnit, I wish I weren't at work
I wish my house cleaned itself :(
@Arperum get a roomba
All in favour of using the leap second tonight to blame @Wipqozn, say aye.
16:57
Whaaaat
Expert mode?
Cannot wait
Also Aye
Aye!
@SaintWacko When do you get home to play? We might be able to start together.
Assuming you can start playing in less then five hours.
