Q: GTA V mapp mi numbers

JackI was just wondering what the little 'mi' numbers stood for on the map? They come up when driving and I've always wondered whether or not it mean't miles or something else?

Q: How do I make my account un-answer banned?

Tobtob1987I want to answer people again and I get what your help section says but people are jerks to my answers for some reason. I know your help says "Try and improve your previous answers instead of deleting your answers." but everyone literally hates my answers for some reason! One guy said his answer ...

Ben
Ben
Would you be willing to assist in the building of a script that will copy files from one location to another, only if the file is new/has been modified at a later date than the file(s) in the destination folder?
00:22
@SepiaLazers Well I think this answers my "which one is enabled here question or answer" continuous forgetting
@SepiaLazers Huh. I think he's the first to actually get answer-banned here at Arqade.
Not really. I've seen a few others.
00:40
powershell has ass backwards command names and funky syntax, but it can do cool things
@GodEmperorDune The one cool feature it does have that is nowhere else on Linux is the native support for progress bars
dunno about anything else
Ben
Ben
@GodEmperorDune Cheers. Have you used it much before? Depending on how I go do you reckon I could get you to review it?
I'm decent at it
Code review.se might give better advice though

Q: Loop through files in a directory using PowerShell

user2725402How can I change the following code to look at all the .log files in the directory and not just the one file? I need to loop through all the files and delete all lines that do not contain "step4" or "step9". Currently this will create a new file, but I'm not sure how to use the for each loop her...

you might be able to filter on the date
then just do a copy-item inside the loop

@Wipqozn I am 3 books away from hitting my goal of 75 for the year
@AshleyNunn for your KOL question, should I hide the overall solution in spoiler tags?
user15026
@GodEmperorDune What do you mean the overall solution? Like what to put in the door?
@AshleyNunn like the specific items, yeah
user15026
Oh, that's fine, that's why I asked hte question!
user15026
I mean if :how I get those things: is like OMG SPOILER then maybe
user15026
00:55
but if it is just "these things in the door okay" then no dont worry about it
good, cause i can't get spoiler markdown to work
user15026
haha no worries
user15026
Man, I get so mad when site.com doesn't work but www.site.com does

A: What does the door want from me?

GodEmperorDuneGood News Everyone! If the door doesn't like what you feed it, it won't consume the item and you will get the item back. If trial and error is your thing, go have fun. If not, read on. The solution According to kolwiki, it depends on your class. Your primary stat determines if you are a muscle...

user15026
Oh good, the door won't eat my things :D
user15026
Oh I am going to need so much stuff!
yeah the burrito recipes are kind of intense
i guess i could edit the answer to include links to the item recipes...

A: How do I make my account un-answer banned?

FrankOkay. Let's take a look at your current activities. Your first answer: Yes u can. All u have to do is tap on his name and tap promote to leader, if your talking about Clash of Clans. If you're talking about something else then I don't know. First off, spelling. We like spelling and prope...

There. Tailor-made help.
01:13
@Frank should just edit his question to say "how can I improve my answers"
Ben
Ben
@Aequitas you could too :P
@Ben im scared frank'll roll it back tho :p

@Aequitas Frank can be intimidating sometimes. (I think he likes it when people act scared)
dammit fox, how am I supposed to watch the downfall of the trump when your site is crap?
Ben
Ben

@Frank and then downvoted..? Some people just wanna watch the world burn...
@GodEmperorDune I wanna check if a file doesn't exist in the destination folder... but (!Test-Path ...) isn't correct syntax
I'd cc @BenBrocka, but he's disappeared into the mists of time.
dude im probably more excited for that game than he is
wait
I get it now
not wearing my glasses
i can't tell if it'sjust doritos or if theres other stuff
It looks like just Doritos.
i told you syntax was weird

Q: How do I negate a condition in powershell?

Ben McCormackHow do I negate a conditional test in PowerShell? For example, if I want to check for the directory C:\Code, I can run: if (Test-Path C:\Code){ write "it exists!" } Is there a way to negate that condition, e.g. (non-working): if (Not (Test-Path C:\Code)){ write "it doesn't exist!" } ...

Reloaded the save, restarted the game, still nothing. The lexicon is on my inventory, but I can't place it. It might be to the fac...

user15026
@MBraedley Still, that's pretty cool
@Aequitas WITH MY OWN EYES!
01:47
Arguably it's all just photons
@Ben Not really. I'm just very straightforward in what I do and don't like.
@GnomeSlice what's that? and where can I get free stuff?
Greenlight page for Project Tilt
Think Little Big Planet meets Quake
Strange, it says it's available on steam but the link doesn't go anywhere and you can't find it in the store
I haven't played that in a long time
desktop version would be nice since chrome doesn't support Unity any more
Also I guess I finished the first arc of Robotech
Rick and ___ got together and then it just ended and now it's following different characters like 15 years later
so stupid
Guess I need to watch the Sentinels movie

Q: Simcity worker shortage

Surya WonoI got notice by that my worker shortage but when i open this window, all job filled What wrong have i done here?

Yeah, only one on stage is a florida man
Bush and Rubio?
@lazers you need to get Donald trump to fire all those losers and bring in some winners
02:29
@GodEmperorDune Are there 2? Dammit.
Dammit
Daaaaaamn.
#GOPDebate Bush, did you call Trump a clown? Bush: no no [smirk]
I mean, good riddance, but they could've re-done their parks to be a more theme park version of my local aquarium.
02:30
Cc @GnomeSlice @badp and any other clowning fans
@Yuuki I'm surprised this isn't a CNN article patting themselves on the back for causing it.
Did cnn fund the blackfish doc?
@TimStone My local aquarium is surprisingly popular and the only thing that distinguishes it from an ordinary run-of-the-mill aquarium is the tram out back that runs through the shark aquarium.
Its CNN Films subsidiary, yeah
HOW WILL YOU PROTECT US FROM GAY PEOPLE BUYING THINGS!!!!!!!
@TimStone grats cnn, I guess
02:33
SeaWorld could stand to recoup that money if they release the whales and focus on normal aquarium-style exhibits and awesome theme park rides.
Hell, even re-purpose the whale stadiums into coral reefs.
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, then they wrote a whole slew of articles about the film, because generating your own news is easiest I guess.
@TimStone right out of the Murdoch playbook... No promotion like cross promotion
Ben
Ben
@GodEmperorDune ok. So I want to check the date of the existing file of the same name. if($file.LastWriteTime - gt $LocalFile.LastWriteTime)
No space between dash and gt
Ben
Ben
I got the path of $LocalFile = (Get-ChildItem $LocalPath) but it's saying I did it wrong... "Cannot compare "(date-time)" to "(date-time)"

Q: Powershell: Comparing dates

pizzim13I am querying a data source for dates. Depending on the item I am searching for it may have more than date associated with it. get-date ($Output | Select-Object -ExpandProperty "Date") The an example of the output looks like: Monday, April 08, 2013 12:00:00 AM Friday, April 08, 2011 12:00:00...

So in about 5 minutes, 4 GOP candidates have explained 12 ways they'd start World War III.
user15026
O.o
user15026
I mean I suspect our debate tonight isn't that much better
user15026
02:44
But I've not been paying all that much attention
@GodEmperorDune So... lemme crunch the numbers here... That means we have a LOLNOPE coefficient of 6.77.
> Dean Burnett regularly lectures people on politics before being forcibly removed from the premises by security
That... explains a lot
That is surprisingly high considering the LOLNOPE coefficient equation has an upper bound of 1.

The plain -gt should work, I don't know why it's not
user15026
@LessPop_MoreFizz you also a word there
I think he thinks he is rums and beers
Based on what context I have
Which may not be entirely incorrect in this case
user15026
Oh, he is a being composed purely of alcohol. That makes sense.
I feel like that's something that could occur in KoL.
I know there's a trophy for reaching 1000 drunkeness.

Q: simcity nuclear meltdown even at level 4+ education

Surya WonoMy nuclear power plant just went in to meltdown, even though I have a high level education. What am I missing?

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've had a rough week, I couldn't do that to myself (the watching, that is. The drinking, sure)
@TimStone the watching was actually pretty great.
like the questions in the first half were legit good and hard hitting
very first question "Show of hands: Who on this stage will support the eventual nominee and not run as a third party."
Did they ask Trump if he thought his ego could run as his VP?
Also, Huckabee zinger game was ON POINT.
user15026

@spugsley did you watch the debate too?
03:56
Silver paint all done!
...Except for some integrated units that have spinny LEDs in them. Those are going to be fun.
@LessPop_MoreFizz yuuuuuup
I just. I don't understand how Trump is a real person. I don't.
@spugsley I DRINKED AND DRINKED AND DRINKED SOME MORE
@spugsley props to megyn kelly for nailing him into the corner re: calling women names
also for all the other sharp questions she asked.
lol I was with my mom and she finally kicked me out of the house and sent me home because of my angry liberal mutterings
@LessPop_MoreFizz agreed. I'm not her biggest fan but I have complete respect for her. She did really great as a moderator

Q: I can't get in to servers

Zylerarma 2 Operation Arrowhead is my favorite game but I can never get in to arma 2 island life or certain other servers because it says "Session Lost" can someone help me find away around this problem

03:59
I am curious how did your Real True Believer Conservative Mom feel about it?
(the debate in general, not just trump)
actually, she was kinda appalled at first. I was proud of her. But then they started talkin God and she was like amen
Also, the Christie/Paul volcanic eruption re: NSA stuff was pretty fantastic and actually a quality debate moment on substantive policy and stuff.
@spugsley Were you there for the OMG HILARIOUS last question?
@LessPop_MoreFizz it was a moment of actual coherence
@LessPop_MoreFizz YUS I MADE IT HOME JUST IN TIME OMG
I don't think this can be disassembled.
So painting the white silver is going to be interesting.

Lol apparently, Bernie Sanders live tweeted the debate huffingtonpost.com/entry/…
I'm pretty sure in a race between a bird and trump, bird wins in a landslide. Pretty sure that's a real poll. What's that? It's not real? Damn.
@spugsley yup
Sigh. Still can't reclaim my PS4
(Or, if you don't want a good reason to go get drunk right now.)
@LessPop_MoreFizz fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
seriously though, i can't believe rand paul's hair
04:16
Here's my summery of the debate: Women aren't people. Trans people aren't people. Huckabee fell asleep in science class. Christie hugged Obama. Paul hates hugs. Paul REALLY hates hugs. Man grunt military strong military break things grrr man grunt. God said I can do what I want.
that's about it.
@GodEmperorDune I want Trump's hair and Paul's hair to fight to the death
Huckabee is... He's something. I'm not really sure what he is. But he does exist.
dafuq is going on
@spugsley I missed the trans people comment.
@Unionhawk Huckabee zinger game was ON POINT.
@LessPop_MoreFizz ....I hope this is a joke
@LessPop_MoreFizz Huckabee about trans soliders
"the military is not a social experiment"
trump didn't lie the whole time, the part where he said our political system is corrupted by the money involved is totally accurate
04:18
meanwhile in aus our biggest news is all out for 60 in the ashes
@spugsley DRUDGE DON'T JOAK.
@spugsley I'm REALLY glad I didn't watch the debate
@spugsley such bullshit
its not an experiment because yall lost the culture wars
its just reality now
@GodEmperorDune yeah it was horrendous. Even my VERY VERY conservative right wing mother had moments where she was like oh my
White people are a social experiment and we failed. I'm sorry.
04:19
@spugsley new headcanon: @spugsley's mom is george takei
@Unionhawk someone on twitter said he's your "racist uncle's racist uncle"
so accurate
@GodEmperorDune fucking hell I wish
So a friend has two dogs and got them photographed professionally and omg omg omg am ded. imgur.com/a/4zBOO
Huckabee is like the leader of the backwards troglodytes. He makes trump look reasonable.
(The other dogs in later photos are from the rescue society that provided the photo shoot as a thank you for a donation)
@LessPop_MoreFizz so cute
04:22
@LessPop_MoreFizz omg I needed this so baddddd
@GodEmperorDune his dogs are amazing and he posts so many amazing photos of them.
(If you scroll up to the top of the album, you can click username to see more galleries he uploaded.)
When is the cage match elimination stage of the election? That is a thing right?
@LessPop_MoreFizz that's a dangerous path
@GodEmperorDune it is all cute doges.
@LessPop_MoreFizz that's why its dangerous
your friend is amazing @LessPop_MoreFizz

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE MAN IN THE MIRRORRRRRRRRRRRRR
I asked earlier, but I'll ask again, since there might be people around now that weren't before:
Did any of you purchase the E3 2015 Digital Ticket humble bundle? You can check it here, by searching for "E3 2015". I need a Wildstar key for my wife and I can give any of these games in my steam inventory in return.
user15026
Not me, sorry :(
No one I know seems to have bought that bundle :/
@spugsley did you ask him to change his ways
@LessPop_MoreFizz I proceeded to brush some strangers teeth
but they were my teeth
@Chippies Man, the games in your inventory are so much better than mine.
@Yuuki not sure if truth or sarcasm
@Chippies Truth. I have one copy of Nuclear Dawn, one copy of Don't Starve Together, and four copies of Torchlight 1.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I will always vote for the person who is thick with nectar. Always.
2
You have a better selection.
@spugsley Even if they're thick with nectar instead?
04:43
@Yuuki ehh, I have a bigger selection, not necessarily better. I guess that's subjective though
@Yuuki HAHA ALREADY EDITED
Though the ski trip troubles me.
@spugsley Good Guy @Yuuki: Doesn't wait for the edit lockout to joke about your typos so you have enough time to correct them.
@Yuuki :D
@spugsley Ski Trips own.
well nector or nectar, I will vote
04:45
Yeah how dare you
@LessPop_MoreFizz not EVANGELICAL christian youth ski trips
Scratch that, three copies of Torchlight 1.
which are all I have ever known
@spugsley come north in the winter for a real ski trip. skiing owns.
Well you're not going on the right ski trips.
04:46
yeah, my ski trips in high school were debauched as hell

Bikini Warriors: the Game?
@5pike eh, you get one every time you get finish a battle with a couple other characters :|
@badp As long as the game is solid, whatever.
Yeah. This game's writing picked the hell up since chapter 3 or so.
Still won't win any pulitzers, but...
07:35
@badp Not many game dialogues will, especially in RPGs. Way to melodramatic.
By the way, a video game based on the Bikini Warriors franchise is in the planning phase at least. I'd imagine it to be kinda like DOA Beach Volleyball but instead fighting monsters, but then I'm a pervert.
DOA Beach Volleyball was such a weird "game"
Is that the one offering individual breast control?
I don't remember
But it had generous jiggle physics
Frankly, I never played it. But many modern Illusion games (Artificial Academy, Home/School/HaremMate, Artificial Girl, Premium Play Darkness, ...) are often more sought after because of their "poser" modules (where you can pose 3D models in scenes and make screen shots) than the actual game play. Easier than dealing with DAZ Studio, I guess.
07:46
@MartinSojka You really didn't miss much. A friend of mine got it for cheap and we tried to play it. Controls were abysmal, unresponsive and janky. If you're interested, I'd suggest you watch the game grumps episodes they made on it. Very entertaining.
