actually i dunno what a proper lifehacks post is

Arperum

@Dragonrage You actually made me laugh. Which is good. I was super mad about things earlier this evening.

Dragonrage

also in my defense, she was asking for a substitute for a finger nail or a quarter, so the actual tool should be valid

@Arperum well im glad. im told humor is the best medicine

user15026

@Dragonrage I didn't even know there were tools for this sort of thing

user15026

At home I use this little engraving tool I have but it's at home and I am not

23:01

@AshleyNunn you should rip a router in two, carve it into a knife, wrap the holder in an ethernet cable and use that

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn i didnt either. until i looked. i just assumed someone would make one, because of all the other pointless things that get made

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage i like how CA lottery also works for canada

user15026

@Dragonrage using a credit card, it's working decent so far

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn are you fantastically rich now?

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn i personally like guitar picks, because then people assume you can play the guitar and thats fun

GodEmperorDune

23:03

or would you even tell us when you were?

Dragonrage

i actually can play the guitar semi-decently provided they dont want me to play cords

GodEmperorDune

or should we wait for the "congrats @AshleyNunn, the new owner of SO, inc" blog post

Dragonrage

i can pick out any song though

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I don't know yet, still scratching my fruits

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Oh, I'd not want to own SO, too much work

Dragonrage

23:04

i happened to memorize the fret board

btw those pictures are kind of big, is there like a way to resize them smaller? or are they fine?

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage looks good to me

user15026

This scratch ticket purports that avocados are fruits.

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn they are indeed

they are also classified as berries

user15026

Okay, I know that they are botanically

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn do canadian lottery tickets apologize if you don't win?

user15026

23:07

but you say ashley do you want a fruit and I am not going to be like oh yes avocado please

@GodEmperorDune Nope, the scanner goes "No prize, no cadeau."

user15026

(In a really weird lady voice)

Dragonrage

among the berry family also reside, the pumpkin, the watermelon, the orange, the kumquat, and the banana

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn no prize, no can do?

Dragonrage

23:08

however strawberries and raspberries are not actually in fact berries

user15026

@GodEmperorDune It's English and then french

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage how dare you

user15026

Cadeau is present/prize

GnomeSlice

23:09

how is this even possible

Cycler Rifle is a horrible piece of shit

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune hey i didnt make the rules

also bananas dont grow on trees

Arperum

people who can get to a gamestop can get a mew if you have a current gen pokemon game

Dragonrage

bananas are also in fact herbs as the plant they grow on are herbaceous as they do not have a woody tissue

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Khezu is easy unless all your buddies drop in a quest and he comboes you.

He can two-shot me with tackles and his field move.

And Khezu can combo two shots super easily.

user15026

Well, I won $6

Dragonrage

23:12

so if you are ever on jeopardy and you win because you remember these random facts, remember me

user15026

and the ticket was $3

user15026

so that's profit

Dragonrage

so go buy all the lottery tickets and you will double your money

or is this one of those cases where extrapolating from data is potentially dangerous

user15026

I have a pile of these at home I need to check (because I don't think they're winners but I've been wrong before) and I need to redeem this one

Dragonrage

so if the dark side had cookies, and the light side had bacon, which side would you choose?

Kevin van der Velden

23:16

Both

Dragonrage

assume the dark side has no bacon and the light side has no cookies

and the sides are mutually exclusive

Frank

Aww. One of my best Meta answers got deleted when someone deleted their account. :(

Chippies

@Dragonrage choose neutral, they have everything

Dragonrage

@Chippies they have neither

Chippies

@Dragonrage my local grocery store disagrees

Dragonrage

23:18

@Chippies this is happening in a land far far away where grocery stores dont exist

and you were magically teleported there and you cannot come back

ardaozkal

Wow, just realised... minecraft is turning 5 this year.

And minecraft is older than my lil bro.

Chippies

@Dragonrage well, then I'm severely lacking information to be able to make such a lasting decision

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal i remember when survival was new

Chippies

@ardaozkal it's older than that

the release date in 2011 is for when it reached version 1.0

Dragonrage

@Chippies ill simplify it for you. you can either get as much bacon as you want and no cookies or as many cookies as you want and no bacon. which do you prefer

ardaozkal

23:21

@Chippies yep, I meant 1.0

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage cookie!

ardaozkal

Man, I remember playing on Beta 1.8

Chippies

@Dragonrage idk, too much of anything is nasty

Dragonrage

@Frank their posts get deleted too?

GodEmperorDune

@Frank on SFF?

Chippies

23:22

@ardaozkal first time I played Minecraft was when SMP didn't have working damage and you couldn't die

Dragonrage

@Chippies you dont have to gorge yourself, you can decide that you want the cookies/bacon whenever you want, but ur not forced to eat it. but you have to give up either cookies or bacon

GnomeSlice

How come you guys keep picking movies we've all already seen for movie night

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice because it's 5/7, perfect movie

Chippies

@Dragonrage it's not really a difficult choice, because there's a lot of cookie types and only one bacon

Dragonrage

@GnomeSlice we should totally watch Where Eagles Dare

user15026

23:22

@Dragonrage Cookies, because you can have different types of cookies, less so with bacon

Chippies

variety wins

user15026

@GnomeSlice I've not seen it

Chippies

@AshleyNunn high five for thinking same :P

user15026

@Chippies It's the only logical choice

Dragonrage

what if it was instead of cookies and bacon, cookies and ice cream?

user15026

23:23

How about no choices! :P

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn if you make no choice you get neither :(

Frank

@GodEmperorDune Nope, here.

GnomeSlice

also @AshleyNunn Spryfox announced their next game

Frank

@Dragonrage Yeah, the account deletion took it with the account.

GodEmperorDune

@Frank sadness

Frank

23:24

Ah, well. I can always salvage it.

Dragonrage

@Frank oh, i thought the posts got left, just the account was deleted and everything was decoupled from the account

user15026

@GnomeSlice Oh my gosh that looks excellent, as always

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage i think it depends on age of the account

Frank

@Dragonrage Which is what it does. Unless the question is net negative.

GodEmperorDune

@Frank ah, thats the ticket

Frank

23:25

Then it gets swept up with the account.

user15026

@Dragonrage Depends on a few factors, most of which are escaping me

Frank

Probably negative answers are taken, too.

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn well dont worry, all of them are escaping me. :P probably since i never knew them to begin with

GodEmperorDune

roomba was hungry

Frank

@GodEmperorDune It went nomf nomf nomf on questions.

GnomeSlice

23:26

@GodEmperorDune but who was roomba

Dragonrage

@Frank i thought it was nomnomnomnom

or is that chogath

Frank

@Dragonrage I'm making an XKCD reference. :P

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice there are so many responses that would get me chat banned

Dragonrage

@Frank ah, i do not remember that one. i shall have to refresh my memory

Frank

This one is a little bland. Pass the saltshaker?

Dragonrage

23:28

you missed an H

SaintWacko

Om nom nom new monitor

Dragonrage

@SaintWacko why would you eat your new monitor? that seem foolish

user15026

@SaintWacko If you keep eating it you won't have it for long

SaintWacko

I am devouring the beauty of two big screens

Frank

@SaintWacko It is gorgeous, isn't it?

user15026

23:33

Sweet, my coworker is going to swap shifts with me so I can go to the symphony on the 24th

user15026

I figured he would, which is why I bought the tickets

user15026

but it is nice to have the confirmation :D

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn thats cool, what symphony?

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage bittersweet

ardaozkal

Is Raspberry Pi 2 worth it?

I'm planning to get into IoT, but I'm not sure RPi2 is what I want.

user15026

23:34

@Dragonrage Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony (aka my local one) is doing a night of Star Trek music :D

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal VTC opinion based

@AshleyNunn super jealous now

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn that sounds pretty awesome. i love music

played trumpet/french horn/baritone for about 10 years.

ardaozkal

I can just go with something cheaper, but it would be waste of money if I don't use it, so I'll go with this, and use it as an emulation station if I fail to use it for IoT purposes.

Dragonrage

wish i still had time to play

user15026

@GodEmperorDune It gets better - my seat is literally front row middle

GodEmperorDune

23:36

@AshleyNunn SUPER JEALOUS

user15026

@GodEmperorDune That was an accident, too. I just went "give me the best seat available" and it went "here have this"

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn literally the BEST seat ever

user15026

@GodEmperorDune When I looked at the seating chart to see what I got, I cracked up. I mean I was doing this on a whim at 2 am last week randomly, and I end up with the most amazing seat.

user15026

I should do more things on a whim at 2 am, it seems to work out

wait do i need 200 rep, or over 200 rep for the site to be displayed on my network profile?

ardaozkal

Sorry, that was a bit rude.

user15026

Nothing worse than getting that tickle in the back of your throat that heralds an impending sneeze right when you are in hte middle of leaving a follow up message for someone

Dragonrage

eh, i dont mind, its just i currently have exactly 200 rep on lifehacks at the moment

user15026

It's like the other night when I had the hiccups at work, it's hard to do support with teh hiccups

ardaozkal

Let me try it again: I'm not sure, but it is probably 200 or more, so the former, however gaining or losing 1-2 rep is that that hard.

Dragonrage

23:42

@AshleyNunn i have found that i can will away my hiccups.

i just consciously force myself not to hiccup/swallow and clench my throat for like 10-20 seconds and they go away

ardaozkal

LH is displayed, so you need 200 or more rep.

Dragonrage

@ardaozkal thanks it hadnt updated when i looked earlier

@GodEmperorDune i shall blame caching

user15026

@ardaozkal No idea. I assume they'll respond in some way.

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune askhelixfossil.com/#03jas1

ardaozkal

IDK, mods there really suck.

It is their first day, and they didn't nuke my account even though I contacted them!

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage next, isuniwrong.com

ardaozkal

Or maybe they are throwing a cool party.

Dragonrage

23:48

the almight helix fossil agrees i should blame caching. however i am unsure if caching gave me an incorrect result

GodEmperorDune

@ardaozkal it might not go through mods, it might be handled by a cron job or something

Dragonrage

@GodEmperorDune the helix fossil also agrees askhelixfossil.com/#tupixl

user15026

@ardaozkal If you did the contact us thing, that goes to CMs, not mods

ardaozkal

@AshleyNunn oh, I see.

user15026

the CMs are busy people, they'll get to it

ardaozkal

23:49

I also pinged the good mod though.

user15026

@ardaozkal Yes, but likely they'll leave it to being done through the proper channels

user15026

Because, well, there are proper channels for this stuff for a reason

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn but you don't understand, i am unique and need special snowflake handling!

user15026

@GodEmperorDune You and everyone else ;)

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn just ban him, that will be a nice unique handling :P jk. that would be mean

user15026

23:52

@Dragonrage I'm not a SFF mod, I have no power there

Dragonrage

@AshleyNunn i meant @GodEmperorDune

he needed special snowflake handling

Here is an opinion based question for Y'all

Does that man look like he is in his late twenties?

user15026

Man, I am so tired and headachy today. It feels like someone is literally mashing my brain into my skull.

Dragonrage

@ardaozkal late preteens maybe

James

@ardaozkal Can you get a bigger picture?

ardaozkal

23:54

@James here you go

James

Thanks.. You do know Slack does auto-thumbnailing right? :)

Dragonrage

how old is ash?

James

well size reduction

ardaozkal

I didn't want to fill chat with oneboxes.

James

And no, that is a generic male character of any age

ardaozkal

23:55

@GodEmperorDune askhelixfossil.com/#05whhc

Dragonrage

because he looks about as old as ash

James

Just not an Old character
