@Unionhawk hahaha.gif
I'm going to propose interior crocodile alligator for the next movie night
I can't hear you I'm too busy listening to the Zelda 25th symphonic soundtrack
when you level up all of your 18 characters with one battle
...you realize 18 is a lot
so i'm listenign tomusic at wopork
err
playing too
occassionally just hearing 'dada'
why would you do that.
17:07
@badp Because reasons, DUH!!!
I don't understand this
What it sounds like to me is that all the power is going through the same grid, but if you buy this device and then pay a little extra, you can pretend you're being energy efficient and just using solar power?
You just plug into the sun
duh
@SaintWacko Yeah, that looks like what it is
I mean... eh.
user15026
@SaintWacko That's how I understand it
Hard to say if this will actually do any good
I'm not an infrastructure expert, though.
17:18
@AshleyNunn Alright, just making sure I wasn't being stupid about it
user15026
I am trying to figure out how it even does what it says it does and how it can guarantee me solar use over whatever else is on the grid. Like I know they explained it, but it still confuses the hell out of me how it actually does what it says it does.
@AshleyNunn Something something energy credits (I don't get it either)
Like, nothing of that makes any sense.
Speaking as an electrical engineer.
What I'm guessing is
You plug it into your outlet
Your standard (US) wall outlet outputs 120V/60Hz
17:19
You register it with your credit card
It's not going to magically detect this device and use solar power for it
user15026
@twobugs they take your money, nothing actually changes?
Every month you get an extra credit charge that says YOU ARE MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE $15 and nothing else changes
They just collect money
Add some randomization in there to trick people
Sadly, it wouldn't be the first Kickstarter scam :P
You're using the same power grid, only now some other company is convincing you to voluntarily use a secondary power meter with which they can collect. Maybe they're using that money to invest in more solar, but probably not.
user15026
@Unionhawk Okay, that's the conclusion I am getting to
17:21
@SaintWacko they did equate it to buying organic... so that explains it.
user15026
You're not actually using solar specifically
No, that's actually not possible
It just allows you to pay more to subsidize solar power.
What if your electric company doesn't generate using solar at all?
Do you not get power? No of course that's not how it works.
"Just $1-$2 per month is enough to solar-power a laptop used every day. It’s like organic food or fair trade coffee. You pay a little extra because you d̶o̶n̶t̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ care about how it’s made."
17:22
I'd be willing to bet most electric companies don't have much solar on the grid, and that most panels are privately controlled.
Google Energy LLC is a subsidiary company of Google, which was created to reduce costs of energy consumption of the Google Group, and subsequently to produce and sell clean energy. The division also allows it to take advantage of projects funded through the philanthropic Google.org. == Operations == By 2007 Google had invested a massive amount of money in wind, solar, solar thermal, and geothermal projects, including a 1.6 MW solar installation pilot project at its headquarters. In 2010 Google Energy made its first investment in a renewable-energy project, putting up US$38.8 million for two wind...
I highly doubt my power company (a Michigan one) has any solar.
@AshleyNunn That makes me feel a lot better. It's making my head hurt trying to figure out exactly what is going on
@Unionhawk That's what it sounded like
@Chippies wat
@Unionhawk Google has a massive solar energy farm, among other things
17:25
Of course they do
There's a huge solar energy farm at the Indianapolis airport
user15026
Alright, so it is a giant pile of stupid that will cost me extra for no actual benefit
the benefit is feel good of "probably" using solar
@AshleyNunn But it'll let you be smug and increment GoodFeels

Q: Can anyone explain what makes ramps usable in Dwarf Fortress?

SadiqI'm having some trouble understanding ramps. Taken from the Dwarf Fortress Wiki, concerning Movement Using Ramps: For the purposes of unit movement, a ramp connects the ramp bottom to the tops of walls adjacent to the ramp bottom. So unlike stairs, where a dwarf moves directly up or down...

17:26
That item is the dumbest thign ever
And really, isn't being smug the whole point of everything?
@AshleyNunn Just cut a cheque to your local solar producing company.
Dummer than people buying carbon offsets.
It's Solar offsetting
How about this: spend more time thinking about using less energy
and save yourself $$$!
> So how can you get real solar without panels? You can’t.
That's essentially what's going on here.
or how about actually using real solar
17:27
I will invest in solar if I get the gun from new vegas that lets me use the solar death ray in a tiny radius around the source.
@Unionhawk hmmm
you also can't get solar power at night.
hehe
You store it, it's not that hard to do if you have enough generation
But you need lots of generation
@SaintWacko Because it's a pure and utter scam. This is not even remotely possible.
storing is hard, incredibly so
home solar panels aren't really that expensive, and with a good battery pack (like the Tesla thing) you could essentially supply power for yourself
17:28
@Unionhawk Simple: give everyone their own tiny sun.
Where's my tiny sun, Obama?
@Arperum It's just carbon offsetting.
@Rapitor That is exactly my plan when I can afford a house :)
@twobugs inside each and everyone on of your cells.
@twobugs Mr. Fusion?
@Arperum Yeah, no, it isn't possible. At best your money is going to investing in solar.
17:29
@twobugs Didn't Russia try this with city block nuclear reactors about the size of an AC unit?
At worst your money is going into the pockets of people who create neat looking things for people who don't understand electricity.
@Unionhawk At best, I assume it's going into the pockets of the twats that launched that kickstarter.
@MadMAxJr Possibly. Russia seems like the happy go lucky country that'll try anything (including genocide) at least once
@Unionhawk I can think of worse.... it was made by children in china who now have mercury posioning?
"Maybe my the Foxconn preschool plant, built on top of a radioactive Native America graveyard"
17:31
I'm talking on the design level, anyway
@Unionhawk I use solar power when I drive a Chevrolet movie theatre
Ok
@GodEmperorDune What kind of interior do you have on that thing?
SunPort is freaking AWESOME
17:33
lol
That is equal to RedHat selling Linux all those years ago
And hey
One of my mottos is that its immoral to let stupid people keep their money :D
Soooo this all works for me.. and just makes me laugh :D
I'm going to make a Kickstarter to sell bottled "feels"
@twobugs INTERIOR CROCODILE ALLIGATOR
$1 - bad feels
$5 - okay feels
$20 - good feels
$50+ - specific feels
There's a company out there that sells bottled gasses at the partial pressure that exists in air
17:34
Can you weaponize the badfeels?
So, bottled air, labeled as 70% pure nitrogen
@James that's just a hamstare
@James They are in a bottle, so you could throw them at someone.
Or 21% pure oxygen
"That feel when you just spent $100 on a bottle of nothing" - $100, one of my most popular products
17:35
The $100 store. Right next to the $1 store.
the sad thing is it's almost a good idea.
Back when iphone first came out, there was this gem "app" that cost the max price Apple allowed. All it did was display a drawn picture of a gem with the words "I'm rich"
@GodEmperorDune It was like $100k to download and the guy actually sold like 7 or so. It all got refunded :P
Refunded? :(
@JasonBerkan Yeah but the bottles need to evenly break and distribute the feels to all around them.
17:40
Sugar glass bottles?
Pipe bomb feels, best feels
@GodEmperorDune lol i remember that
what ever happened to that block game
where people were chipping away at the block
and the winner would get like some money once it was discovered.
I think it was a lionhead thing...
22cans, Peter M's new game
They made it to the center of the cube. You get to be the overall god of his new game, Godus
17:50
Basically: He oversold and barely delivered, YET AGAIN, and nobody is surprised
....
he's such a dick.
He's just someone who shouldn't be allowed to speak to the press, ever
Molyneux is practically a snake oil salesman at this point.
I get the impression he really is very passionate and has these amazing plans for the projects he is working on. But that's all they are - plans. Maybe not even plans, like rough concepts.
And he just gushes about his grandiose ideas
There was that kinect game he was working on which never surfaced where you interacted with a digital boy
I think there were one or two videos of it but they were so obviously faked
@twobugs no, he lies
user15026
17:54
He seems to be like...unconnected from reality, moving from one overblown underdelivering thing to another.
people asked if that was a tech demo
say what you want, he did a pretty great job with Black and white and Fable (at least fable 1)
and he outright said it wasn't, it was truely real, and was coming.
@Rapitor Black and White was pretty awesome, but unbalanced (in the sense that being a purely good god just took a while and was dumb)
@djsmiley2k Lol. Well then. That's basically impossible to defend
@twobugs and that's not the only time iether
Many things asked straight up about fable 2/3, and he outright lied there too
17:56
@twobugs i didnt think so. but I did mod the game so ore and rock was no longer a finite resource
Maybe his underlings were lying to him, but he shoudn't promise stuff then...
and the number of times it's happened.... pfft.
@Rapitor I only played vanilla, but it got to the point where if I wanted to gain territory from other gods without attacking or raining fire and brimstone it was going to be a very long haul which kind of burned me out
user15026
I think I just used my degree for the first time in a job environment since I formally graduated (copyediting some website support info stuff).
Godus is a good concept but overall a huge pain in the ass because of the "sticker" mechanic
@AshleyNunn grats!
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I was just amused because it took my boss a while to ask me about it, and he was so excited that I had suggestions. :P
18:04
I'm bad with copyediting because I always want to just rewrite the whole thing
I'm much better with Copy-pastaing than Copy-Editing.

Q: Recording on iPhone

Eric BlackIs there a free way to record gameplay on an iPhone that is not jailbroken? I have heard that you need to record through a computer. Is this true?

user15026
@GodEmperorDune This was just a short support article to help people set up their ISP specific email on their devices, so it was pretty simple.
user15026
Mostly just correcting some grammar, and editing for consistency (like always referring to the email the same way as "your <ISP-specific> email", etc)
18:07
How to not be pwned at this year's Blackhat: 1) hide 2) keep hiding 3) what are you doing I said hide
(which is probably over which makes that joke less funny but whatever)
How to hide at Blackhat: Don't own or have ever owned technology or interact with technology.
Yeah, retroactively don't have any interaction with technology
Build a time machine and go back then prevent that.
Including motor vehicles
user15026
@MadMAxJr becomes an Old Order Mennonite
18:10
Just don't own an internet-connected vehicle, so, anything newer than like 2012
Then you should at least survive
Own only pre-internet devices
@MadMAxJr 0 day exploit on rocks allows them to kill arbitrary users
Remove rocks from the Earth 0.9b environment.
Oh good it's a 20 day attack now
Replace rocks with Nokia phones from the 90s, done.
18:14
@MadMAxJr ...I'm scared thinking about what that would do to the Pokemon Onix.

Q: Gold coins on farmings simulator 2015

Eric BlackI've heard about gold coins in farming simulator 15 but I have no idea what they are for. Does anyone know what they are for and how I get them?

0
Q: Growing trees on Farming Simulator 15

Eric BlackI've planted a few saplings on farming simulator 15. How many "game days" does it take for them to become fully grown?

@GodEmperorDune no
The man is known to the state of California to be a total douchebag
But you can wear clothes once, then discard them to save the environment!
and figuring that out after working for him is a $20 negligence charge for not figuring that out by the name of his company
benefits include free soylent
18:46
I'm only interested if soylent tastes like bacon.
I'm sure it doesn't
It tastes like sustainability
user15026
@GodEmperorDune oh god that article. I just. I still can't.
Jobs should include bacon as a benefit.
user15026
I know friends who use Soylent (or similar products). I should ask them what it tastes like.
18:48
But the SMUGULARITY WILL NOT BE DELAYED!
@JasonBerkan Bacon is gross.
Although I suppose that means more bacon for the rest of you.
@Wipqozn we agree for once
@Wipqozn Then you can take time off in lieu of bacon.
@JasonBerkan I like the sound of this.
Yeah, I think that's the better deal overall
Overall
18:51
@Wipqozn Because if everyone else in your department is eating free bacon, you're going to be working extra once the heart attacks start.
user15026
I like bacon as a flavouring agent in things more than I do just as a food
@JasonBerkan lolol
The movie isn't set to release for another year
They're just spending a year to hype everything
obviously
ah okay, itt's just for internal staff, according to the rumour
That makes sense

Q: Sprayer or fertilizer?

Eric BlackI'm playing Farming Simulator 2015 and trying to decide whether I should spray or fertilize my crops. What is the difference between fertilizing and spraying? Does one give a bigger yield then the other or is it just the looks that are different?

Q: Transfer Minecraft PE from Iphone 4 to new Iphone

E BeckMy son broke his iphone 4 screen and we are getting him a new one. He has a lot built in Minecraft PE. Is it possible to move all his worlds to the new device and how would you do that.

19:02
whacks Java
I know there's another copy of this JDK running my test server, but jps isn't picking it up
Even though I'm running it as the same user
@Lazers2.0 In real life, they do two completely different things.
user15026
@JasonBerkan That was my first thought too.
Oh yeah, btw, the Soylent guy is completely nuts.
He literally eats Soylent or goes out to eat.
really
I had no idea
and nothing else.
user15026
19:07
@Powerlord This we know. (Well, at least anyone who was around when @LessPop_MoreFizz posted that article will have a good idea.)
@AshleyNunn The one where he rants because his apartment has a Kitchen?
user15026
@Powerlord But I mean....that's not really the weirdest part about him, him just using his product.
user15026
@Powerlord Yep, that one.
Yeah how dare those people assume this guy wanted a standard feature of any apartment
Why does my java dev server have 2792 different classes loaded?
I'm almost scared to put this on our production server.
19:09
That's a lot of classes
Something's leaking memory somewhere and I need to know where... but jvisualvm is acting weird on production
As in "I won't tell you anything about this process" weird.
user15026
@Unionhawk well he has his little butane stove and his kettle what more does a person need
@AshleyNunn a soul, perhaps
(And the California douche warning)
user15026
@GodEmperorDune That's just extra weight.
Yeah, and in his case, a total douchebag registration card
19:13
I read something that compared soylent to herbalife, and we know how that ended
As a legitimate and apparently Cincinnati company?
Does that mean that Soylent will eventually move to Cincinnati? oh god
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I don't.
please no
@Powerlord Oh man, he was such an ass about it too. Something about how his apartment was a "place of peace" and he didn't want dangerous things like a stove in it
Ah, an inquiry on adverse effects
19:15
@twobugs Did you read what he said about grocery stores?
user15026
@twobugs The whole post just made me hate things.
@Powerlord No, but I imagine it's even worse
@AshleyNunn lawsuits and govt investigations
user15026
@GodEmperorDune Oh, funsies
The guy is clearly a nutjob.
19:17
3.8B revenue so they're clearly doing... something? I'm not sure what they're doing, but they're doing it.
user15026
Like I am all for a food substance like that for people who don't want to take the time to make meals and aren't as into the actual experience of food consumption as I am, but man, does it have to be headed up by someone so....so...oh god I don't even have a good word for it other than rolling my eyes and smashing my face into my desk.
And no it's not a Cincinnati company, Google just told me they have a location here
@AshleyNunn Yeah, guy is a total INSERT DEROGATORY TERM OF CHOICE

Q: Whats the original cardboard cartridge inlay for Pokemon Red/Blue?

Luuk LGDoes anyone know what the original cardboard cartridge holder is in boxed version of Pokemon Red/Blue? In my case it's about the European version. I know there are two types; -cartridge gap on the top/bottom centered. -cartridge gap in the middle centered. I hope anyone can help me. Thanks,...

Q: What was the first game to have an unskippable tutorial?

ardaozkalSeeing games that have unskippable tutorials (gtav for example, not that much, but still unskippable if you want to access online :/). Which game was the first to have an unskippable tutorial level/chapter/episode?

@AshleyNunn he is the SMUGULARITY
19:20
If I ever meet him, I'm probably not going to do anything but I'm going to be very angry in his direction
user15026
@GodEmperorDune That's a good word for it.

Q: If I sign into CoC with a new GC account will i lose my old progress

IrlbinSo im worried that my iPhone will break soon and wont be able to fix it. So i want to know if i make a new GC account will i lose the progress of my old village that didnt have a GC account

I stole it from someone in here, I don't remember who
user15026
Hurray, my boss implemented all the website's support stuff that I was like "this is terrible and out of date and confusing people" :D
user15026
(apparently no one here had really looked at it)
user15026
19:30
(But I was like "this doesn't match what we actually tell people anymore...")
Does it just say "DO NOT PRESS THE RESET BUTTON" over and over again?
user15026
@Unionhawk No. I wanted to suggest a nice blinking marquee with that on the front page. :P
user15026
(It was mostly "here is how you connect to <ISP-specific> email on your whatever device" that needed to be poked.)
@AshleyNunn yay for doing things to hopefully reduce your workload
Also I sent you meat
For all your clown related needs
user15026
@GodEmperorDune <3 Thanks!
user15026
19:39
I am debating if I want to work on the door next.
Meatclown...? You're scaring me, Bridge
user15026
Although I think I am done being a clown, I got what I needed if I remember right.
I have all the lava lamps, whoo!
@AshleyNunn Yup, think you did.
user15026
Although the balloon sword is a pretty decent weapon.
19:48
The never fumble enchantment is nice, but it does reduced damage, I think.
I haven't done much in the volcano yet
But it seems you can get crazy hot resist
I've splitting time between there and Hobopolis after I complete my bounties.
@GodEmperorDune Yeah, there's a lot of equipment that gives +4 Hot Resistance.
The problem is that they have lot of drawbacks.
-% stats, -spell damage, etc.
I could see some of them being useful for basement diving, but on a whole they're really more for volcano mining and adventuring in the Caldera.
You opened hobopolis in the bridge clan?
No, my main is a different clan.
It also makes hottest adventurer much easier
19:51
@GodEmperorDune We need more meat for opening hobopolis in the bridge clan.
@Arperum how much more?
@GodEmperorDune uhm... think about 10 million or something stupid. We need to open the basement first.
and there is 1.6million available.
Ah that's a lot to front
Seriously, wtf is up with this Doom?
@Yuuki so this guy talking crap to deadpool is a meme now?
19:55
Apparently, he's Weasel.
@GodEmperorDune That's based on my super vague memory from years ago. IIRC opening the basement was a 10million cost.

Q: Burninate minecraft-mods!

MutantoeSince they are off-topic (A,B) should we summon Trogdor? I submit, yes, the tag itself is off topic. Thoughts?

I'm personally feeling that the entire Minecraft mod tech support off topic thing is not working out well. Non-regular users don't understand it, which means it is taking more effort than closing them all as unclear was.
hmmm
can't leave summoning mark
could before
INVADOR DECTECTED.
20:44
Yeehaw. I have to leave at 7:15 tomorrow morning. That's nearly two hours before I normally get out of bed during the week.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I slept past 8:30. One of the joys of having small children.
But Festival! So it's for a good cause. I might hear a "frozen" cover if I arrive fast enough.
@Arperum You don't get out of bed until 9am normally? jealous
@Arperum let it go and sleep in
@Powerlord I start working at 9, get out of bed ~five minutes before.
20:47
That's like the anti-@badp commute.

Q: Can I Save Dwarf Fortress Without Quitting

James HughesDwarf fortress automatically quits the game after saving (with the exception of autosaves) and then loading it up again takes a while. So saving frequently is really inconvenient, however, due to how unstable the game is at the moment, I find it necessary to do so. As such, is it possible to eit...

@GodEmperorDune No can do. I am picking someone up who wants to see Betraying the Martyrs (the band that might play that frozen cover)
@JasonBerkan Working from home has certain advantages.
One day in the week I have to get up 1.5hour earlier though, because that day I have to go to the office.
Well now I have let it go stuck in my head
2
I blame @Wipqozn and @Unionhawk
INTERIOR CROCODILE ALLIGATOR can't even displace it
Dammit ><
wtf is a grey spirit...
20:55
@Arperum I'm surprised they allow you to work from home 4 days a week.
@Powerlord Heh. There is no real office, that one day I have to commute I actually take my laptop and go work at my boss' home. I'm the only employee.
parents?
@Arperum Well I'm jealous

@AshleyNunn I'm un - I mean my friend is unfamiliar with this drink
ok that royal rat is a right arsew
ah ha gopt him
user15026
21:22
@MBraedley It's "wine beverage". Cheap, tastes like fruit/juice.
user15026
(You know, the kind of thing where "exotic fruit" includes strawberry.)
@Unionhawk gg uninstall
The cold never bothered me anyway
@LessPop_MoreFizz I think I've finally done it.
Do you like this.
21:38
-1, too safe for work for @GnomeSlice
hilarious
@AshleyNunn I'm not sure super sweet and fruity would go well with KD. Rum and Coke worked well.
user15026
@MBraedley I just went with "is in a similar price range"
@AshleyNunn It was more a meal of desperation last night, and so tonight was leftovers.
user15026
Makes sense to me :)
21:47
@JasonBerkan I think that's because the policy, and exactly how far it goes, is really unclear.
lol rat covenent is funneh
We've decided that Minecraft mod crashes are off-topic, but then we're getting a push for all mod tech support being off-topic, along with all tech support in general.
lol
i did point that out
yesterday I got told an answer was wrong, because someone might not want to actually play the game.
@JasonBerkan I'm finding some questions getting caught up in the closing that I never intended (and I don't think other advocates of off-topicness) getting closed. My intention was only crash questions, not all tech-support questions.
