4:00 PM
@fredley That took me far to long to notice what was going on.
 
@RonanForman lol
 
@fredley To be fair, BoingBoing has a weird website design.
 
It was @badp who killed english, right?
 
@RonanForman You have a weird website design. Wait, do you even have a website?
 
Or was it fredley?
 
4:03 PM
@fredley I have made websites.
 
@RonanForman brb
 
@fredley Oh no. No no no.
@fredley Unless you're just looking for websites that I've made, in which case they're not registered to me because I work for people.
 
@RonanForman protip: register that, even if you don't have plans on what to do with it.
 
@fredley Yeah probably.
 
@RonanForman namecheap.com
 
4:08 PM
But then I have to do things.
 
@fredley 2late
 
@RonanForman It takes 2 minutes
 
@fredley Whines
 
@RonanForman *Stares, sternly, tapping foot*
 
@fredley @sternoly
 
4:09 PM
@fredley Squeals
 
Today's #IowaCaucus special burger is...MONTE CHRISTE: Beer-battered triple cheeseburger with bacon + a cup of ranch https://t.co/ABXFJKjAs6
 
@RonanForman *crosses arms, continues tapping foot.*
 
/cc @LessPop_MoreFizz for political funnies
 
For the sake of news: can you American's just get to the polls already
 
@fredley lemongrabs
 
4:13 PM
@RonanForman *lemongrabs louder*
 
@fredley Iowa caucuses are next week.
 
Get onnnnnnn with it
 
New Hampshire a week later.
 
@TimStone wtf
that sounds nasty
 
Well be going to the polls basically weekly for the next 4 months.
 
4:14 PM
@fredley I'm dreading the next election
 
Why?
wait, which election
 
I'm not really interested in any of the candidates, and the most likely ones to be in the running are terrifying
@GnomeSlice Presidential
 
#feelthebern
 
@GnomeSlice Only if we're lucky and he actually gets candidacy
 
He's polling really well isn't he?
 
4:18 PM
yeah, but his supporter base is notorious for not voting
 
Haha yeah actually, sounds about right
shoot
 
@nukeforum It's exciting, in the same way that falling out of an aeroplane with a rucksack that may or may not be a parachute is exciting.
@GnomeSlice It's too early to call, but it's possible there could be a Trump vs. Bernie election
Which is terrifying
 
@fredley honestly, that might be the second best possible tossup
 
Are Trump and Hillary in the same party
10
 
@GnomeSlice opposing
 
4:20 PM
@fredley Okay fine!
 
@Ohnana "Will America elect a socialist or a despot?" is not a question I wanted an answer to
 
@fredley the best possible is a trump/repub/bernie
 
Why is that starred, name some shit about Canadian politics you clowns
 
republican vote gets split, democrats wreck
 
@Ohnana Hillary would storm to power
 
4:21 PM
What party was stephen harper in
 
Repubs are screwed: they either back Trump, or lose. As an independent he wouldn't take enough of the vote to win, but he'd take enough away from repubs to destroy their chances.
 
That's what I thought
 
@GnomeSlice conservative...?
 
thanks asus keyboard
 
@GnomeSlice Harper was a massive arsehole, and Trudeau is not, and they are from different parties?
 
4:21 PM
@GnomeSlice Justin Trudeau from the liberal party replaced Harper recently as prime minister. The prime minister isn't elected directly but rather the leader of the party that's in power.
 
I win
 
@GnomeSlice Horton
 
That's way, way, way more than most Americans know.
 
is it called the tory part in canada? i think that's only in the UK... either way you didn't vote for harper, y'all voted for his party
 
From what I understand of Canadian politics you're either in the "Tim" party or the "Horton" party
 
4:22 PM
@StrixVaria lol yeah
 
Tim Horton is the constitutional monarch and head of state, but not actually involved (technically) in matters of Government. He just signs into law what parliament give him.
 
Yeah we don't vote on the person, just the party
 
Okay I think I fixed the loading problem
Trump is basically causing the right wing to shake itself apart. People had been predicting this for a long time and it's finally happening
 
I dont understand what all the directions in politics mean
right, left, etc
 
that's what you get for implementing the southern strategy
 
4:24 PM
The right wing has been exponentially moving more to the right and now they're approaching a singularity.
 
@GnomeSlice left vs right?
 
looool
 
@GnomeSlice right = conservative; left = liberal
 
@twobugs If he does cause, however it may happen, the repubs to lose this election, it'll cause some deep soul searching within the party, hopefully
 
Hillary I'm really frustrated with because she is a very smart and experienced politician and yet she's running a crappy campaign and just not making a compelling case
 
4:25 PM
@GnomeSlice Far right: fascists, far left: communists
 
@twobugs But 9/11
 
@twobugs But emails
 
What about that guy that shot the lion
 
@GnomeSlice dentist
 
oops
 
4:25 PM
The email stuff is like... she probably didn't do anything "bad", but she pretty clearly violated the letter of the law
 
@GnomeSlice hes not in politics
 
@StrixVaria Approaching a singularity.. with conservatism? I wonder what that would look like
 
lmao
 
@GnomeSlice dentist party
 
From my understanding, someone without as much traction would have been severely punished
 
4:26 PM
What about the rent guy
 
@twobugs nah, letter was followed but they changed the law after she left office and hold her to the newer standard
 
Dentist party is in favour of "Drill baby, drill!"
 
@fredley Clowns to the left of me, jokers to my right...
 
@twobugs And, you know, the non-stop lying
 
@GodEmperorDune That's fuct.
 
4:26 PM
and the whole thing where she's hardline against guns and video games
 
guns, good, games, bad
 
I personally liked O'Malley, he seemed like a much more reasonable guy, but he was basically written out as soon as it started
 
Just write in "Sterno" for president
 
Isn't he the guy who wants to bring back the guillotine
 
I hate that we have 1890127394811321123 Republican Candidates who all get to say crazy things but we can only have two Democrats
They're not the Sith.
 
4:27 PM
@GnomeSlice no that is a state level politician, not a federal level one
 
@twobugs Plus he has a name from Aristocats
 
oops
 
its hard to keep straight
 
@Sterno At this point I would settle for @Wipqozn
 
oh right the rent guy retired
 
4:28 PM
I remember that Florida congressman
Augustus Sol Invictus
 
what about deez nuts
 
@twobugs This is a better situation. The right is extremely divided and toxic
 
That was some good drama
 
8 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
Are Trump and Hillary in the same party
^^ Highlight
 
(He actually changed his name to Augustus Sol Invictus, he's that much of an asshole)
 
4:29 PM
@GnomeSlice he was too young to be president
 
What about Kid President?
 
lmao @twobugs
 
our laws say you need to be 35
 
@fredley I'm nominating that for pinning.
 
@ardaozkal thats not how pins work
 
4:29 PM
@ardaozkal It was, I unpinned it.
 
He was some pagan who sacrificed goats and was apparently one of the early alt-right people trying to infiltrate mainstream right wing politics
Granted, now Trump has opened the floodgates for that
 
hue
 
A pin is not a super star @fredley.
 
@ardaozkal hot damn, you got me. well played
 
I cant tell you what party anybody is in in the US
 
4:31 PM
@RonanForman :(
cc:@LessPop_MoreFizz
 
@ARDAOZKAL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW DAYS WORK: DATA ACCEPTED
4
 
@GnomeSlice Santorum?
 
@fredley If anything they have less mass than normal stars.
Which I guess explains why they float to the top...
 
Santorum is an ass but the whole "let's make his family name into a gross thing" was really tacky.
 
NO
FREDLEY NO
 
4:33 PM
2 messages moved to Friday Hell
 
How many hells do we have?
 
Just one that is constantly renamed
 
@SaintWacko Bridge is the only hell we need
 
Off topic
 
You guys are terrible at Fridaying
You make me not even want to do it anymore.
 
4:34 PM
@RonanForman false. That's exactly what a pin is.
 
It's really just one person who doesn't understand days
 
@Sterno Mission Accomplished.
 
@Sterno Maybe that's their plan!
 
I'll just evolve to something worse.
2
 
You can't give in!
Never surrender!
 
4:35 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz They still shouldn't be used on stupid things Gnome says.
 
We could post links to Chinese Food instead?
 
At least right now, it's restricted to Friday
 
Okay work time.
 
user15026
Yeah, let's not use pins as super stars.
 
4:35 PM
@fredley I miss @Yuuki and his food trolling
 
@RonanForman Unless it's a particularly hilarious Gnomephone blunder.
 
I'm actually thinking this can be the new Friday. MAXIMUM OVERCREEP
 
@Sterno Oh God
 
@TrentHawkins As long as people keep starring it it stays in the list, pins circumvent the democratic nature of stars.
@AshleyNunn Yay! Sensible mods!
 
@fredley Oh, after that one, I'm definitely... hungin'
 
4:37 PM
@Sterno What about this?
Or this?
 
Y' got me clicking.
 
@fredley It's a whole new level of creepy if you watch it without the music
 
@fredley what about this?

Q: Minecraft won't run if I change the ram limits

spund3I have a computer with 64 bits of ram. With this I can play with a distance of 16 chunks (200+ fps), and now I want to try to play with FAD distance. However, I need to increase the ram amount in the profile properties tab. When I set the ram to 2G, the gane won't run. I have installed java 6...

 
4:50 PM
"64 bits of ram"... that... is a bit low.
 
Haha @fredley just saw one of your SFF questions on Hot Network Questions
 
Gangnam Friday
 
@twobugs link?
 
@ardaozkal My toaster has more ram than that but I'm not sure

Q: Could Kilgrave be defeated by wearing earplugs/ear defenders?

fredleyIn the TV version of Jessica Jones, it seems that Kilgrave could simply be defeated by wearing strong ear protection so that you couldn't hear his commands. Would this work, or does his power affect your mind directly?

 
4:54 PM
@Haider Well my smartwatch has 128kb of ram, which is about 16000x of that guy's ram.
 
I'm literally just doing it for election rep
 
@ardaozkal Check your steam!
 
@Fredley Can Kilgrave issue a command that would fix the issues with Lifehacks?
 
I should probably watch more than one episode of Jessica Jones.
 
It's a really dark series.
 
4:56 PM
Argh, was gonna talk about it too x.x
 
@MadMAxJr I had to stop watching after one episode.
 
Literally with the lighting and constant 'oh god that's awful' moments.
I can no longer enjoy David Tennant after that series.

Q: Is there an easy way to add commands to minecraft without getting bukkit?

VladimirI want to add a few commands to my server, even though it's a bukkit server, I don't want to go searching on the bukkit website for the commands I need, and I don't want to have to make my own plugin.

Q: What makes rivalry valid?

SMeznaricI am playing as Ayutthaya and have selected Kutai as one of my rivals. However, I would like to replace them by Malacca (who used to be my ally) in order to get cheaper conquest of their provinces in terms of diplomatic power. I would like to change one of my rivals without having to spend 100 ...

 
@MadMAxJr Man, he was great though
 
I didn't expect Marvel to get THAT grim and gritty.
 
4:57 PM
Apparently my wife was watching MLP with my daughter last night:
 
@MadMAxJr Oh yeah, maybe I shouldn't watch it then.
 
> She cried last night when Rarity pony was mean to her friends and she thought they left her.
They didn't. They of course continued to be awesome and supportive.
But it was like a full on sob.
 
Daredevil was the right balance of things I wanted.
 
@MadMAxJr Yeah I liked that.
 
@MadMAxJr You should check out the actual JJ comics. You get to see the events of her being controlled by Kilgrave.. really messed up stuff.
 
4:58 PM
I ended up liking Jessica Jones in the end, but the path to the end is long and full of misery.
 
@Sterno Poor Skydrift.
 
I should ask an MLP SFF question
5
 
@fredley I'd up downvote that!
 
@fredley You mean there aren't any yet?
 
Oh hai guys, Blender.se just graduated, you can come check us out and mebbe start making arts and stuffs.
 
4:59 PM
Oh, wait
 
Modding and stuffs
...stuffs
 
@iKlsR 'ya have a chatroom?
 
Oh right,

 The Renderfarm

A place to talk while we wait for our renders to finish. Site ...
 
Nice roomno!
 
!!
 
5:02 PM
If you want to rep-farm SFF, just ask another Dora question
 
@iKlsR Thanks for the notification, I've been meaning to learn Blender after being out of the 3D scene for a decade.
 
@ardaozkal As it happens I think we had the 10,000,000th chat message as well :)
np, feel free to poke around, years of stuffs
 
@Sterno I wouldn't know what to ask, sadly
 
Let me do a small help: Your room will be supported on the notificationoverflow release.
 
"Who is this swiper, and why is he so intent on swiping?"
 
5:04 PM
"Could Kilgrave issue a command 'Swiper no swiping' once and solve Dora's problem?"
 
RIP @OrigamiRobot
 
I lol'd
 
@fredley Ask for some clarification on how far King Unicornio's domain over the forest reaches.
Asking for a friend.
 
"Is Discord actually just Q from Star Trek: TNG?"
 
OH SNAP
Someone asked another Dora question there
5
Q: What happened to Boots, Tico and the rest?

Doug BI was watching Dora in the City with my 4 yo when it struck me that all of Dora's friends were human and that there were no anthropomorphic talking animals from Dora the Explorer. In fact, Dora seemed amazed that someone had invented a video camera that could translate what puppies were saying. ...

@fredley Just find the answer to that
Wow. Was that really over a year ago that I asked that?
so old
 
5:07 PM
@Sterno The sad reality is that as Dora gets older, the lingering magic of childhood dies, thus her creations begin to die. But since the power fades not in effect, but in entirety, she forgets she ever had such power.
TLDR; There is no more swiper because there never was a swiper.
 
Or maybe there never was a Dora
 
No, she's pretty real.
 
Dora The Explorer is filmed in front of a live studio audience
 
captive studio audience.
 
BOUNTY ADDED
 
5:09 PM
We make no claims about their ability to leave the studio.
 
fifty points?
Have you gone mad, Sterno?
 
I don't have a lot to work with there.
 
Well hopefully you'll get an answer before Emperor Trump has Dora deported or assigns her to the 'keep everyone out' wall building team.
 
protip: don't ask questions about things you haven't finished watching yet on SFF
 
I don't see how either of those things would affect my ability to get an answer.
@fredley Why? You're still at +8
 
5:12 PM
@fredley But what if I want to know what an ending means 3 seconds after a movie is released?!
 
I don't think you understand my problem
 
Oh. Spoilerized?
 
a little
 
user15026
@fredley Now you don't have to finish watching, I presume?
 
@AshleyNunn lol
I'd rather
 
5:13 PM
The spoilers are fairly tame
 
Aaah. I love the reaction of people in Brussels on Trump saying that Brussels is hell on earth now.
 
Tempted to ask SFF questions about how Pony society functions as a series of matriarchies. Environmental controls are artificial, requiring manual labor to enforce changes of the season and regular weather patterns. There is a clear skill gap between some of the races of pony too. Surely there are class-tensions between these groupings. How do they get by without strict regulations on magical power usage?
If portions of field labor are handled by magic, where are the jobs?
 
Magic is just sufficiently advanced robots, you mean?
 
I'm so tired of not knowing what game to play that I'm installing Visual Studio to write me an app that checks my game folder for executables then chooses one at random for me to play (but not autostarting though)
4
 
All the blue collar ponies who lost their job to those stuck up magicians in their literal ivory towers and their magic...
 
5:18 PM
@fredley and I can't even undo your idiocy
Clearly this is the worst possible ending
 
@Unionhawk uwot
 
BRIDGE: BAD END
 
Might even release it on the Windows App store
 
TRY AGAIN? Y/N
 
@NateKerkhofs no
 
5:18 PM
You cced me on a thing
 
@ardaozkal Why not?
 
@Unionhawk Basically the name of our hell chat was renamed approximately All Of The Times
 
@NateKerkhofs You can't access files that freely on Store apps afaik.
 
Yeah and I can't do anything about it
 
@ardaozkal Not even with permissions?
 
5:20 PM
@NateKerkhofs tbh idk
I last did file interactions on on 8.1, which was possible with permissions.
 
Figured for sure there would be a web app that would just scrape your steam profile and pick a game for you.
 
@NateKerkhofs Make a version that picks from a pile of shortcuts in a folder, that way I can limit it to a list of games of my choice.
 
@ardaozkal folderpicker
 
user4704
What are you trying to rename?
 
@JoshPetrie [*] Hell
 
5:21 PM
It's not important I was just complaining at @fredley for Android hell being exceedingly dumb
 
@JoshPetrie this room
 
@Unionhawk Because someone deownered you: cc @Sterno
 
@Arperum What I'm going to do is make you choose the folders to check. Then I'll do a recursive loop over the folders, make a list of all the executables, then let the user choose which ones to choose between
 
My bad, that was friday link.
 
@Arperum I know
 
user4704
Well @fredley is here so I'll let him deal with it
 
@ardaozkal Hint. Keep those stupid links limited to friday. And welcome back to ignore for a bit.
 
@Arperum Why just a little bit?
 
@fredley I might unignore at some point, but I'll probably strategically forget.
I've read the transcript of this afternoon, I got annoyed at a specific user.
 
@fredley *Oliver
 
5:25 PM
One of the main reasons I don't like to ignore people is how it screws with the avatars
 
@twobugs just ignore 2 people
do I have to explain everything
 
@twobugs Yea, I made a css stylish thing for that at one point, that hid them completely.
 
@badp yes
 
@badp Please do because I don't see how that would help
It makes the ignored avatar tiny
 
half-size!
 
5:27 PM
Does it stack them if you ignore two?
That would be futuristic technology
 
There are also definitely scripts for this
 
I am probably too lazy
 
Also: in the current version there is a white block of half height between the rows of avatars now. Gah. I'll have to find that ignorefix css again.
 
see now @TimStone and @AshleyNunn are vertically aligned
 
There should be a separate area where it shows the ignored avatars and stacks and arranges them
 
5:29 PM
TIL: @badp has me on ignore.
 
Hm then you could have it fuse 4 particular ignored users into a new hybrid user
Chat messages would be a horrible combination of their recent messages
This is an excellent idea
 
@twobugs but then you would want to ignore that...
 
It would be optional of course
 
@twobugs if you install stylish I can give you a thing to copy paste into a new script to get completely rid of the ignored avatars.
 
.ignored {display: none}?
 
5:35 PM
@badp You need an !important since there is inline styling on the avatarlist.
which is the worst.
 
It works! Yay!
 
@Arperum What on earth...?
 
Wait... did Trump REALLY say that..?
That's like... he's trying to ramp up Trump levels...
 
@twobugs The new quizshow
 
@Arperum With the British addon posted yesterday, it is !please, which isn't that bad.
 
5:37 PM
We may be approaching the hypothetical MAXIMUM OVERTRUMP
 
@twobugs Yes. He literally said that.
 
That shouldn't even surprise me
He's praised Putin and Kim Jung Un. Why not say Brussels is hell?
 
user15026
Stupid girl moment - I spent like an hour doing my nails last night, they looked awesome. Get to work, one's chipped already. WHY ME.
 
@AshleyNunn :(
 
5:39 PM
@Arperum Ahaha the picture they picked
He looks 100% Sad Old Man
@AshleyNunn "The best laid plans of mice and men..."
Still, that sucks :(
 
@twobugs The more crazy stuff he says, the more headlines and attention he gets and so he gets more publicity with people who like him regardless of what he says
 
user15026
@twobugs It's a stupid thing to be irritated by, but I am!
 
@twobugs I seriously can't tell whether he's serious or he's playing a prank to see how close he can get to Idiocracy and still be an electable candidate for the American population.
 
@fredley help it's the attack of the overused fonts
 
5:45 PM
@Arperum that was a few weeks ago but yeah, definitely crazy

@Arperum I've said that. His supporters are so crazy I wouldn't be surprised if that was true
 
One more upvote and I can vote in the SFF election
 
Vote, or take part?

Q: Who activated the halo ring in Halo 5

Ian BriscoeI'm thinking Cortana activated the halo ring but it doesn't sound like her sounds like someone else.But I cant figure it out please give ideas.

 
Always upvote troll mods
 
Generally active. I've visited the site on 537 days. I've been a member of the site since July 31, 2014, which was 538 days ago. I'm here a lot
thats kind of impressive
 
@Dragonrage its a bit douchey too
 
5:56 PM
So, I made sure to point out to management that the Java web browser plugin is now officially deprecated by Oracle.
 
i would probably vote for rand al thor
 
@Powerlord laughter ensued?
I also forwarded the good news to my old coworkers
 
because his name is cool and i see him around quite a bit.
 
the very corest feature of that architecture is provided by a third party java applet
 
@badp Our main map editor is a Java applet, so they kinda needed to know this.
 
5:57 PM
@Dragonrage read the comments on his mod questionnaire response
 
@Powerlord so how did they react?
 
@badp They haven't said anything so far.
However, given that the contract with the vendor that makes said map editor expires in October...
 
oh I thought you told soomeone in person
 
@badp No, by email.
 
October is quite a long way
plenty of time to reimplement everything in HTML5 I'm sure
 
5:59 PM
@badp Yes, but the RFP needs to be written soonish.
 
by which point the vendor can be jettisoned
