user15026

That's my understanding. I mean my provider was like "no worries, we know what Netflix is trying, we're all good, you shouldn't see an impact" and so far I've not, so win.

Nate Kerkhofs

@AshleyNunn I'm sorry, but unrestricted access to what you're allowed to watch for a tenner a month is enough for me. I'm not going to risk such a good deal just because I want the option to watch stuff I'm not allowed to watch

Q: Item Appearances in the Hotbar

I am making a map and I have needed a clock system for my map for a while now, and I stumbled across one on YouTube that I think is really cool. It is a clock that is in the player's hotbar, and uses heads to display numbers. This is how it looks in his video: His video can be found on YouTube...

user15026

@NateKerkhofs That's cool, that's your choice. Not sure why you're apologizing.

Unionhawk

International copyright law! Yay! \o/

user15026

21:04

I'm choosing to do it differently, and there's nothing wrong with that - we each choose different acceptable risks.

Unionhawk

This is one of the many reasons why America is the best country

Nate Kerkhofs

@AshleyNunn Because I get the impression that some people in here are subtly trying to convince me to break legally binding agreements

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk more like geography based holdovers from the physical media days that don't know how to deal with digital goods

Nate Kerkhofs

or even actual laws in some cases

user15026

@NateKerkhofs Nah man, we don't care what you do, do whatever your heart is happy with.

user15026

21:05

We'll suggest stuff, sure, but you can choose not to take any of the suggestions.

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs did you miss the part where all of us are belgian lawyers? we wouldn't steer you wrong

user15026

Again, it comes down to "different people have different levels of acceptable risk".

Nate Kerkhofs

@Unionhawk I'm not sure about that exactly. I mean, you got all the media you can ask for, but your politicians more than make up for it in incompetence and malicious intent

user15026

We state what we do/are comfy with/would do, you state yours, everyone does what they do, the world keeps turning :)

Unionhawk

Mmm... nope, I'm pretty sure best country

GodEmperorDune

21:06

@AshleyNunn false, the world will no longer turn unless you do exactly what we say

Nate Kerkhofs

@Unionhawk What's your opinion on Donald Trump then?

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs he's a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE (asshole)

Nate Kerkhofs

@Unionhawk And what about your casualty rate due to gun violence being one of the highest of the developed world?

Unionhawk

Criteria: 1) can host both a summer and winter olympics without making ARTIFICIAL SLOPES (staring at you China) 2) contains @Uni 3) SHUT UP

My reasons do not need to be bound to your logic!

BEGONE WITH YOU

murgatroid99

@NateKerkhofs So, basically, your country is perfect, and America is the only one with problems?

user15026

21:07

@Unionhawk Excellent reasoning. I like your statements and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Nate Kerkhofs

@murgatroid99 My country is far from perfect.

Unionhawk

The entire world has problems. Deal with it.

Or move to mars, I hear the gun violence rate there is zero, and Donald Trump isn't there

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs but you have chocolate, waffles, and beer

Nate Kerkhofs

Failed State, the Brussels Hellhole, Nationalists getting 25% of the votes;

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune And @Arperum, so that basically cancels all of those things out

murgatroid99

21:09

@NateKerkhofs Obviously, there are specific problems with America (and with specific people who live here), just like any country. But the existence of those specific problems isn't a reasonable response to a claim that the country is good overall

Nate Kerkhofs

We've split 90% of the tasks of the federal government over the 2 regional governments, especially the 50% that's more efficient when it's federal

@murgatroid99 @Unionhawk was claiming that the USA was the BEST country though

Unionhawk

It is, see point 2

I am here, therefore, obviously the best

@Wipqozn is not here, therefore, even better

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs it was ironic, like rain on a wedding day

Unionhawk

QED

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz looks like I'm too late

Nate Kerkhofs

21:11

@Unionhawk You also have Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney and about a thousand other incompetent republicans. IMHO those cancel your supremacy

Unionhawk

Ted Cruz belongs to Canada, it's fine

Nate Kerkhofs

BTW, is this devolving into nationbashing too much? or is nationbashing allowed here?

badp

@Unionhawk but wasn't Canada supposed to be the next president of the US?

Unionhawk

@badp I think so

I think that's how the Iowa Caucus works

badp

21:12

woo! go Canada.

Unionhawk

Ted Cruz won in Iowa, Ted Cruz was born in Canada, therefore Canada is now the emperor of North America?

Nate Kerkhofs

Okay, looks like Xcom 2 spoilers are coming in

badp

@Unionhawk but didn't you need to be 'murican to be the 'murican emperor of Northern Murica?

Nate Kerkhofs

Nzall don't care though. Nzall does'nt play Xcom

Unionhawk

Then again, Trump is claiming that Cruz befrauded that primary, and wants a do-over, so

murgatroid99

21:13

@NateKerkhofs that doesn't even make sense

Unionhawk

(not kidding)

Ohnana

@badp ted cruz's opinions are dumb enough for him to be considered an honorary murican

badp

oh good, internet archive to the rescue. web.archive.org/web/20160204194245/https://…

Nate Kerkhofs

@badp being 'Murican can be done in more than one way

GodEmperorDune

@badp for some reason that popped up in my work filter as adult content, though the original was visible just fine

murgatroid99

21:14

Every country has bad people. "This citizen of your country is bad" is not a reasonable response to "my country is good" or even "my country is the best"

badp

@NateKerkhofs I heard a lot of people grumble about certificates of murican birth

Unionhawk

@badp ARE YOU USING "AMERICA" IN A WAY THAT EXCLUDES PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA? ARE YOU SAYING VENEZUELANS ARE NOT AMERICANS?

Nate Kerkhofs

@GodEmperorDune it's from craigslist, 90% of that is adult content

GodEmperorDune

> though the original was visible just fine

Nate Kerkhofs

@Unionhawk They're not true americans

badp

21:15

@Unionhawk no. Why would I. America is a single continent.

Nate Kerkhofs

@GodEmperorDune web.archive is often used to avoid content blockers,

GodEmperorDune

@NateKerkhofs ah

Powerlord

@badp Just like Eurasiafrica is. right?

badp

@Powerlord Eurasia can be considered another continent, yes.

Unionhawk

Nate Kerkhofs

21:16

@Powerlord Meanwhile, poor Australia cries itself to sleep every night over the fact that it's so lonely

badp

Some people split Europe and Asia around the Urals

or whatever that mountain chain was called

Powerlord

@badp ...but I can see the connection between Eurasia and Africa, so therefore it must be a single continent, yes?

Nate Kerkhofs

@badp actually, that's how you should do it

badp

but that makes most of Russia european and that just ain't right

GodEmperorDune

@badp some people split Europe and Asia around urmom

@badp I mean, a portion of russia is in eastern europe yes

Russia is weird

Just, blanket statement

@NateKerkhofs If you're counting man-made canals, I counter with the Panama canal.

Wipqozn

fuuuuuuuck the internet lied to me

reforging an item doesn't act as if it just dropped, aka it's item level doesn't change

Nate Kerkhofs

@Powerlord The panama canal isn't contigious, it has a lake in the middle

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn No it didn't (the joke is that I am lying to you right now! haha!)

Wipqozn

Powerlord

Is that, or is that not a lake in the middle of the Suez Canal?

@Powerlord that is an artificial lake if I recall correctly. Might be mistaken though

If we're talking about whether two land masses are connected, why does it matter that part of the bodies of water separating them are natural or man-made?

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn i think i know where that picture was taken

Nate Kerkhofs

Looks like it's not artificial

GodEmperorDune

looks like the pasadena civic auditorium

Nate Kerkhofs

Also, if we're going to talk about connected landmasses, aren't Asia and Oceania technically connected as well through that weirdly shaped island?

badp

@Wipqozn I don't see the distaste

Wipqozn

I'm so sad. I was so excited. Thinking I finally was going to get the proper version of that weapon I wanted.

Powerlord

@Wipqozn MAYBE THE DISTASTE IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

@Powerlord That's what it is

badp

@Wipqozn MAYBE THE DISTASTE IS YOU

@Wipqozn ARE YOU DISTASTE?

Yes

@Wipqozn ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE WORLD THROUGH DISTASTE EYES, SINCE THOSE EYES ARE PART OF YOU, AND THEREFORE ALSO DISTASTE

@fredley Michael Schumacher survived years after years of balls-to-the-walls racing in very small vehicles that were little more than a v10, more than a hundred kilos of fuel and tin. Then he went skiing.

see around this message

it is literally true

or another time

I don't remember

I am certain I explained this in great detail

Unionhawk

I have obtained literally no further context

ardaozkal

I just enabled DLNA mode on my Pi.

Unionhawk

There was one freak accident I heard about where dude landed head first on a rock and his gopro smashed through his helmet

ardaozkal

21:33

I can now stream 1080p@60fps anime from my pc, RPi is 5/7.

But like that's the definition of freak accident

If you looked up "freak accident" in the dictionary, that guy has a picture there

badp

@Unionhawk I DID NOT NEED THIS MENTAL PICTURE IN MY LIFE

Unionhawk

But then I thought "I do not plan on hitting a rock from the top of my head, so"

badp

21:35

and then you uploaded a video of yourself falling while skiing with a go pro

two bugs

Go Pro needs an auto-upload function so people can know how you died

Unionhawk

@badp See, like, in order to be injured in the manner that that guy was (permanent brain damage), I'd need to do a perfect half flip over a rock
