Q: Where can I travel on a suspended US passport, assuming I've already left my home country?

exiled00dI am a US citizen living in Europe with a valid long stay visa in an EU country. My US passport was marked suspended in the US Health and Human Services database for non-payment of support, but my passport (the physical document) says it is valid for another ten years. My question is: If I fly...

I like that Travel is another SE that gets some completely insane questions
"I'm wanted in 10 countries, can I visit Ikea?" Probably not
WorldBuilding is still my favorite because someday a supervillain is going to crowdsource the planning of their evil agenda to WorldBuilding and then spare the SE network after seizing power
5
Ssssssssssshhhhh DON'T TELL THEM MY PLANS
@twobugs yeah, the corner cases on travel are usually some combination of completely insane, totally appalling, and really sad
@twobugs (also do check out the edit history on this one if you want to see how awful this dude is.)
CC Guy who wanted to make a bulletproof vest out of gold
@LessPop_MoreFizz SO the dude is planning on going on holiday while neglecting his/her children? Bah.
14:09
@LessPop_MoreFizz Checks the first part that was deleted shudders
@RonanForman Yeah... wow
I liked it better when my headcanon he was wanted by US Health and Human Services for being a garbage golem
It's exactly specific enough to make me hate the person.
Now it's not whimsical, it's just him being a giant asshole.
OF COURSE.
look at where the coins are
look at where the flashlight is
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE IT HAPPENED.
14:12
@Arperum no it's worse than that, he has fled the country so that he can neglect his children forever.
Oooh. That sucks.
@GnomeSlice What the hell? That's a completely different game!
@LessPop_MoreFizz Seriously. Fuck that dude.
Now he wants to know how much freedom of movement he has around the world.
Can it be a 3 by 2 meter area?
14:14
@Arperum the keeper is so bad I can't even savescum him out of the caves
I just can't
@badp Going to be interesting once I unlock him.
I'll often just get hit twice in the same second or something
you go from full health to dead as fast as you can read "ugh ugh"
not even enough time to realize you've been hit and reach for the escape button
I did complete maggies note yesterday, so that's 6 notes done. and I'm at 610 coins in the greed machine.
@Arperum I just know that as soon as I stop trying with the Keeper I'm just going to get that super amazing build that would even redeem him
@badp Probably. I was like "fuck it, I'll do a random maggy run to get try to beat hush, whatever. ANd I got epic fetus in the first itemroom.
I got third eye somewhere on the chest.
I got saved by infamy at least 20+ times duing the hushfight.
14:18
when I did get to the chest as the keeper I got 0 chests
zero
the bloody thing kept down while clouding the whole room with bullets for minutes on a time, to then pop up for a second to spawn a bunch of minions and go back into hiding forever.
@Arperum usually when that happens you have to kill all other enemies in the room
@badp Good luck with a slow firing thing like epic fetus and those stupid nubs all over the place.
it doesn't even have to come up to spawn more of the things.
@Arperum the flies can be one shot
same probably with the blue follower things
then you need to wait a little for the nub things
@badp It's those nubs that shoot bullets, and are jsut far enough away from eachother to not be able to blow up two at the same time.
14:21
@Arperum Argh! Noooo! :(
I could oneshot basically everything. epic fetus with a couple damage ups only downside is that it is extremely slow firing.
The chest was ridiculous though, I got the wafer and triple shot. So at that point everything was a joke.
Oh: champion boss? don't care. One hit kill.
I killed megasatan just because I could (I found dads key in a chest in the secret room)
I think I didn't even take damage at all during that fight.
@Arperum good news! the keeper's got a 90% penalty to tear delay. I hope you enjoy extremely slow firing
@badp I know I'm going to hate that one for a bit once I do get there.
"for a bit"
@badp Yes, until I'm done with him.
14:29
current status
wow
that's worst than me D:
@badp I remember -400 or something from when I was doing lost runs.
I've done my share of deaths.
fair nuff
I have a high resist against unfairness in games, I don't mind games being hard up to the point of frustrating.
hell, I played Titan Quest Uber mod (which was flat out insane) with hardcore rules.
I play dark souls
I died.
14:34
@djsmiley2k how many vegetables were ripped in the process?
"rip in pepperonis"
@Sterno I don't even need to click. €0.
14:36
@Sterno I've spent probably twice as much as @Arperum did
@KevinvanderVelden That's like €0, are you insane?
@Sterno -1, does not work across amazon sites (that's Amazon.com only)
@Arperum Yes.... is that news?
@KevinvanderVelden Not exactly.
YOUR FACE IS NEGATIVE ONE
14:39
518 deaths
did someone tune back in?
Awesome, apparently I'm an abomination
@MadMAxJr We knew that already
:P
14:58
Steph Curry has found the NBA 2k16 cheat codes IRL.
k this run is gonna go mad.
bouncing magnetic milk fear tears
pulling the boss around the roomn XD
krumpus does his spinning brimstone
the keeper slowly shuffles down the room to avoid it
@djsmiley2k do not combine these with tiny planet.
I'm holding down as hard as possible
or explosive tears :P
15:07
get hit anyway
gah died
why edmund why
@fredley @Sterno @StrixVaria @murgatroid99 What's your opinion on recruiters in the tech space? I'm meeting with one today about a job. I wasn't going to originally, but figured what the hey, mine aswell get some experience with'em. I don't need the job right now.
To be clear I was approached by the recruiter on linkedin (huge surprise, happens all the time)
15:09
I keep getting bugged by recruiters, basically nonstop
@Wipqozn I've never used a recruiter. They seem like they'd be useful if you're having trouble finding jobs, but if there are a ton available then they're probably just costing you money
They can be useful but all the ones I know of work on comission
So basically, they're just tried to get you hired. They don't have a big interesting in finding a perfect job for you
My wife uses recruiters though and they've ranged from very helpful and actually listening to her about what she wants, versus people who just want to get you any job as fast as possible so they'll get paid, and will actually lie to you about the job
@Wipqozn most of them don't know anything about tech
@Wipqozn Be wary
15:11
a few I've met actually know their client and what they want, and can advise you if you fit the job.
@Sterno Yeah, that's what I figured. The one that approached me is looking for someone for a specific job for a specific company.
I'm guessing you're not paying them? (You shouldn't be)
And yeah, don't pay anything
@fredley Nope.
Their motivation is to get you into as highly paid job as possible (since they take a cut of your final salary). This may or may not actually be a good job for you.
If you want to earn as much money as possible regardless of job then it might be a good bet
15:12
Or if they are any good...
:D
/me shrugs
@fredley Interesting. I was just told that by someone else, but I thought it was that they try to get you hired for as little as possible the highest paying job, and they take the difference.
@Wipqozn No, they take a percentage of final salary
And that percentage is pretty uniform across the industry
I had to 'fire' one recruiter. Sent me to interview at a federal building on a federal holiday. Sent me to another interview where they didn't pre-negotiate the expected pay per hour, grossly overbid offending the client. Had to talk to him about why he sent me to a gig under my target pay range to begin with. And the last incident was sending me to a wrong address.
And if your in the UK, let me know if you find anywhere good to work :/
o_O
@Wipqozn Treat them as you would a car salesman when they're talking about the merits of a job - they have no reason to say anything bad ever
15:14
What part of the UK? I have a contact in London who does IT contract work.
@fredley Cool. I'll keep that in mind. BEfore I accept and job ofany kind I'd insist on seeing the company offices, meeting with the team I'd be working wth, as well s my direct superior.
Coventry, no i can't relocate
@Wipqozn Yeah, you can be demanding, and if they get defensive when you do just find another recruiter, there are loads of them around
Can't help with that region.
@fredley Well if things didn't work with this one I just wouldn't btoher with another one.
I didn't go seeking out a recruiter, they approached me.
15:15
@Wipqozn Check out glassdoor too to get insider 'reviews' of the company
@Wipqozn Yeah this is usually the way
finally got a phone interview on thurs morn tho so that's cool :D
@fredley Figured, especially with linked in existing.
So, I just watched the video for Lionel Richie's Hello. Man, he's a total creeper.
Some companies only go via recruiters over here

Q: Can you take pictures in the Wii U of YOURSELF like in the 3DS, not just Mii's Face

FidelI got a Wii U, and it's awesome. I like the features. There is only one thing that disappoints me; that I can't find how to take pictures of myself or other people with the camera. It seems that I can't take pictures of myself and other people like in the 3DS. I can only take pictures of my face ...

Q: How do I dodge/block attacks with a Force Master?

Ismael MiguelI've recently started playing the game, and one thing that ticks me, comparing to tera is that, for the love of my life, I can't avoid any damage at all! This leads me to die in less than 1 minute with 2 enemies. I am aware of SS, but it is very clucky, slow, delayed and it has 10 seconds of co...

Q: How do you get out of the duo card creation?

SeiyriaEvery time I go to make a card, I tend to want to just fill up the current slots on my amiibos card collection. Without fail, I get duo card creation almost every time now. I just want to use the cards normally! How can I cancel duo card creation explicitly? The only way I've been able to get out...

15:16
@fredley good site, but can't find anything on them.
The company hiring that is
not the recruiter
@Sterno wow
small company?
@fredley Wow as in you agree, wow as in "Why are you watching that?", or other?
Nothing on the recruiter too.
@djsmiley2k Smallish. They onyl have an office in my city.
@Sterno Wow I agree. I had no idea the song was about hitting on his disabled student.
15:19
@Wipqozn K
I had a job like that via a recruiter once
He found me, told me about the job, and it was wonderful.
well I appreciate the advice guys. I misunderstood how recruiters got paid.
They are snakes with business ties that bite and suck out part of your pay, but the wound is so small and discrete you don't notice.
@MadMAxJr God I hate recruiters. I get multiple spammed CVs a day now from them
And so many LinkedIn requests.
The rapper B.O.B. Has decided that he earth is flat. When Neil DeGrasse Tyson corrected him, he released a diss track.
15:26
who? :D

Q: Is it possible to play against a friend in Ranked Mode?

RobThe shortest question I ever asked: Is it possible that a friend from my friends list is selected by random as an opponent in ranked mode? Or are friends avoided in the selection? Does it make a difference, whether the friend or me is invisible or not?

@LessPop_MoreFizz lol
@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't know who told whom, and I can't understand what is being said, so I am okay with it
Quick, I need a lifehack to stay awake at work without being shot by a gun
right to be wrong on the internet and all
15:27
i didn't realize B.O.B had a career
oh wait maybe he's being a dumbass for a lark
@Wipqozn I'm not sure if our terminology matches. A recruiter is a person at a company who wants to find candidates for jobs at that company.
In that case, pretty much all of them know just enough about tech to still not be useful for screening candidates.
@LessPop_MoreFizz No one's annotated "Do I have a choice?" With: "No. That's not how facts work."
> Only one way to end this: launch Bobby into space and let him figure it out.
also this bugger is comparing himself to malcom X
@LessPop_MoreFizz I like the part where he's being "censored"

Q: Is there any differences between card collections?

SeiyriaI've started unlocking cards between two amiibos, but they seem to basically be the same. Are there any card effect differences between amiibo sets?

New PC Status: ARRIVED
The Illuminati is coming down so hard on that poor guy his phone can't hold a charge
@badp If there's anything we've learnt over the past couple of years, it's that no one listening to you is censorship.
I'm being censored pretty heavily on The Bridge right now :(
@Sterno yay!
@twobugs Totally, no one at all is listening to you
We may or may not be reading your text though
15:39
Hm, touche
@AshleyNunn A couple of the paper jam amiibo bonuses are fairly powerful. They are free to use, can only use a card from a given figure once in a fight. Most are pretty mundane like '30% more coin drops from enemies' and the animation for the magic sparkles is so long I don't spam this every fight. A few are trump cards to get you outta trouble though. Luigi gave me one that ups his jump damage 50% for the remainder of the fight.
Bing knows me well.
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS
If the Earth is a sphere why don't people on the bottom fall off? Duh.
errrr WTF JUST HAPPENED
a huge trophy appeared in BoI?
15:45
@StrixVaria Headhunter. A company which looks for candidates for nother company.
When I beat mum?
Oh, because it's a trial?
s/trial/challenge
@djsmiley2k Yes. touching these completes the challenge.
so if I carried on and died?
Okhlos has the steam page up
basically pikmin
well not really
angry pikmin
That reminds me, I need to finish Pikmin 3.
three bossesto beat
15:48
pikmin is not amused
@Wipqozn No experience with such people, then.
@StrixVaria Cool.
@djsmiley2k I don't know, that would probably fail the challenge.
I've never played a Pikmin game.
15:53
that'd suck :D
Soo, I'm going back to playing some emulator games... Which Wii and PSP games should I totally check out?
Patapon
Played, on actual PSP.
Deadline: 2359 hrs
Submitted: 2357 hrs
Yay procrastinating until the deadline!
PSP games? How about... Dracula X Chronicles.
16:01
@djsmiley2k don't
I mean. It'd probably still count.
But then again
So... work is now upgrading to a new version of WebSense that requires some sort of login process.
THIS didn't count
@ardaozkal No More Heroes Wii
> Clients using Firefox can log on to the Internet using this workaround:
 Start Internet Explorer and go to any website.
 Start Firefox.
@Powerlord what
16:03
@badp I'm serious. They sent this is an official communication.
@Powerlord what
It's because Firefox won't blindly hand out Active Directory credentials to random sites.
...and our new transparent proxy requires an ActiveDirectory login.
@Powerlord ...so if you spoofed someone else's MAC address...
now another place wants a phone interview tomorrow
16:05
@Powerlord almost transparent proxy
@Powerlord lmao
arugggh!
We'll see how long this new version lasts. The last time they tried rolling out a new version of WebSense, they screwed it up so badly that it was rolled back within a week.
2 days and 54 minutes left until Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC.
That time they didn't tell anyone they were upgrading.
16:07
The sound of a million network engineers crying out at once and then being silenced...
Guys, I'm coming to you on The Bridge from my new PC. The graphics are at least 75% faster and better now!
@Sterno nice
@Sterno Bridge in glorious HD
@Sterno Congrats!
@Sterno Bridge rendering 2% faster!
16:16
I'm getting 6005 polygons per krundle.
How many terawatts are you computing? 11.7426?
@twobugs That's a pointless metric, we only measure computing in how defraggled it is now.
@Sterno I will vicariously experience XCOM 2 by watching you on your sweet new computer.
16:19
Oh, hey. I should install Steam
It's so weird that Steam doesn't come pre-installed, like there's somebody who wouldn't immediately install it themselves.
@RonanForman Well yeah, but you want to measure terafraggles per watt. If you can't hit at least 7 then what's the point?
There are actually communities of people who violently hate Steam
guys, I'm in a hotel, 400km away from my awesome PC :(
Oh no. I hope my Darkest Dungeon save is in the cloud
It should be. Steam stuff is like auto-clouded.
Hence why a specific thing in Undertale can be annoying
16:21
@twobugs not everything
only if the game has implemented cloud saving
Oh. I thought almost everything did
@twobugs It's probably safe to assume that any reasonable developer would do it so @Sterno is definitely safe.
@StrixVaria VTC about developer intent
I wonder if referencing drama all the way from last week is lost on everybody since it's literally ancient, and not even archaeologists care about things that old anymore.
Which drama? The SFF drama still amuses me greatly
16:24
@StrixVaria ouch, was it only a week ago? i thought it was much older than that

Q: How do i transfer other players in offline single career mode?

Thokchom KushanI'm playing Fifa14 offline single career mode, before starting the career i already transfer a few of them. But between the career i want to transfer some players in my present club. I have no idea about this, please help me out please.

Mmm, alt-f4 drama
@twobugs the corrupted savegames
Oh, you meant the alt-f4 drama
@twobugs The question about closing games with alt+f4 during saving.
16:25
I missed that one completely
I don't understand any part of it
I intend to keep things that way
@twobugs What does lalalaicanthearyouium look like, I wonder.
i close all my games by killing the process in taskmanager
I FEEL OFFICIAL
I had to sign a NDA for this design class
@Unionhawk wow
That means you can't talk to us about anything ever.
16:27
@GodEmperorDune I close my games by ripping the power cord out of my computer while the hard drive light is flashing
@Unionhawk oh no, you just disclosed that you signed it to us!
mutes @Unionhawk
@twobugs maybe i'll start closing my games by cutting power to the entire house
speaking of which i should probably get a UPS
@Unionhawk what did you do in the lesson so secret that it was NDA-worthy?
Why are there over a hundred upvotes on the alt-f4 thing? We don't get that kind of exposure even on GOOD topics...?
16:29
@ardaozkal he cant tell us, that's the NDA part
@MadMAxJr drama boost
@GodEmperorDune ssssh! that was my intention!
He can tell us what he didn't do though!
Yeah, not even jiggle physics got 100 upvotes
Clearly @Unionhawk is writing software for secret aliens
Clearly @Unionhawk is writing software to trick everyone into thinking the earth is round.
16:31
Clearly @Unionhawk is slacking off and chatting on The Bridge rather than writing software.
@Sterno Aren't we all?
@Frank yep boss comes by i mean no, of course not

Q: Can I transfer Gta V saves multiple times?

Pro BossI've got a ps4 now but It reset so I want to transfer my GTA 5 online save again( from ps3-ps4). Is it possible?

@Chippies so sad, so true
16:34
It would be cool if we ended the war on drugs and thereby stopped funneling a ton of money to the drug cartels
That would probably cut down on immigration too but something something socialism
@twobugs but what would america do without war?
it would be nice if we actually valued making residents' lives better so they didn't need the escapism that drugs provide in the first place
I mean, I guess there's always other things to have war on
we had a war on poverty that worked for a while until we got cheap about it
@GodEmperorDune Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, alright?
16:37
fair enough
The button to follow a proposal on Area 51 is surprisingly hard to find.
I agree. It should say "Follow it!" or something like that.
Maybe it could be right under the number of followers?
@twobugs ...isn't it?
It is
Yes, thank you, I'd already found it. The point was it took a while of searching.
You'd think orange would jump out at you, but it really doesn't.
16:40
Doesn't it though?
I kept really wanting there to be something in the sidebar
I didn't have trouble finding it, but I will openly admit I scanned the right side of the screen first.
I just wanted to be a smarmy jerk. Mission accomplished.
A51.SE should listen to UX.SE.
UX.SE is pretty inactive nowadays but it has some good info on it
16:43
@Powerlord Indeed.
Installing Java, it asks you to set Yahoo as your default homepage. HAHAHAHAHAHA
@Sterno Yahoo is actually pretty popular with your generation
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
@Sterno ...why are you installing Java?
16:46
@twobugs I thought stone tablets were the most popular with his generation?
@twobugs I didn't realise the elder gods used web browsers.
Dammit!
Also, the copy of the Java installer on the Java SE site doesn't have the annoying ad type stuffs in it.
@Powerlord Because other shit doesn't work if I don't.

Q: How to transfer in single player mode in Fifa 14

MosesThis is driving me nuts. I'm new to Fifa as a whole so go easy on me. I'm playing offline in single player mode on Fifa 14 (PC) as a player. I've been "on loan from Barcelona B" playing for some awful team for what seems like 100 matches. When transfer time comes, I have no idea how to transfer...

dup?
@Dragonrage yep
16:48
Taking on Ukanlos with not a shred of blunt/KO damage on this team.
Ballsy, we are.
@Sterno what are the specs of your new PC?
> Just as well .ToString() worked on the unhandled exception exception, otherwise we could have been in for a long night…
So I got an answer back from Ubisoft about cheating in Watch Dogs
@Chippies 400 Megablots of awesome
@NateKerkhofs what was it?
(the response)
16:50
"Unfortunately, I have to inform you that there is a strict "No-cheat" policy at Ubisoft. To not leave any loopholes, the decision was made to apply this policy to all our games, both online and offline."
So yeah, you guys can close the question I made about Watch_Dogs godmode, since it's against the rules
> 1 x Case NZXT Phantom 530 Full Tower Gaming Case - Black

@NateKerkhofs Well, go post this answer.
@NateKerkhofs aren't watch_dogs always online?
16:51
I can't believe I dialed it back to 16GB of memory
@Chippies no
I just think it's weird that they have such a policy, meanwhile Far Cry has a hidden GodMode flag in their config file
@Sterno sounds good, and expensive
@Sterno woah
Undertale really flies on this thing!
3
16:53
Wow.. that's a hell of a power supply.
@MadMAxJr bronze though
@Sterno How much did it cost?
@Powerlord I'd say 3-5k
2k
Well, 2.1k
That... is surprisingly cheap.
16:54
Not bad. That i7 will hold up for a longtime.
@ardaozkal the only expensive parts in there is i7 and the 980ti
Now I just need a 4k monitor
I figured it had to be somewhere in that neighborhood. It reminded me of the 2.5k PC I bought half a decade or more ago.
(well, compared to the then-current stuff)
@Sterno oh, you don't have a monitor. I included 3 monitors in that price (3-5k) too.
@ardaozkal why would you include monitors when you are buying a new pc? he obviously already had monitors
my PC cost ~1700$CAD and that included a monitor though :>
16:57
I'm sorely tempted to replace the video cards in my current PC with a new nVidia 970ish card.
I use a laptop, I include a monitor price in every build.
No, everypeople, I'm working with renewable energy, not software per se.
I'm waiting on whatever next gen Nvidia tech in the pipe drops so I can watch the 900 series drop a hundred in price.
@ardaozkal you could buy a monitor and use it with the laptop until you build a PC
@Unionhawk Renewable Energy for powering... UFOs?
16:58
@Powerlord unless you really hate AMD, the 390 is a better option, especially if you plan on going above 1080p
performance on r9 390 is very similar to 970 and it has 4.5gb more vram
for same price or less

Q: How much bonus experience do massacres grant?

BlackVegetableIn Diablo 3 (PC) the patch 2.4.0 modified the way massacre bonuses worked to give a multiple of the experience you gain from kills during the massacre, instead of some flat amount. The bonus lists something like "1.5x bonus experience!" Does this mean I get an additional 50% experience for those...

@Chippies I haven't exactly had the best experiences with ATI cards in the past.
UNI IS WORKING WITH ALIENS: DATA ACCEPTED
...and you can tell how long it's been since I used their cards since this was before ATI became part of AMD.
16:59
@Powerlord are you referring to experiences from 10 years ago?
(well, at least before they started using the AMD brand name)
because that seems to be the case with most people that have had bad experience with AMD/ATI
