Q: Where can fire spread to?

ash4funI've built a wooden house and decided that, with the proper precautions, I would like a fireplace. I built a stone-brick-and-glass cage around a piece of netherrack, but when I lit it, the fire still spread to the rest of the house. I've replaced the burnt part of the house, and I have a piece of...

Q: Diffusal Blade Slow Percentage

Eric LimaI'm curious on how diffusal blade slows. The description doesn't give any real details and simply says something along the lines of "Slows enemy unit". Anyone know how much movement speed reduction percentage the slow is? Does this slow stack with other slows like orb of venom or skadi? Thanks,

14:22
@twobugs Wasn't the hydra poisonous/caustic/acidic though?
IIRC, Heracles dies because his wife was tricked into smearing hydra blood on the inside of his clothes.
I'm sure someone could figure out a way around that
I mean, people like puffer fish and THAT is poisonous. You just have to prepare it carefully
@Sterno Sometimes I wish I had a job that didn't require any problem solving. I could just go to work, exist for however long, and then go home.
I always thought it was funny how the more commonly used name of Heracles is Hercules, which is actually the Roman version
Only if you're not a proper Héllēn.
How dare you
14:33
@StrixVaria sounds like good for a while. Then you'd get bored of having no problems to solve =p
@StrixVaria Night watch?
@KevinvanderVelden I could actually put in effort on things at home then.
I think that might even by why my tastes in video games have changed to things that aren't really challenging and don't require much planning.
I love stuff i can just faceroll
@StrixVaria heh, I know that feeling
14:37
like skydrft
I'm finally at a point where I have the energy to do things at home again
It's been a busy few months for me
I haven't really felt that drained for a while. I hope my new job doesn't have me feeling like that
The thing that's getting me at the moment is how long it takes to get to work.
Yeah I had that a lot with my old job
I can't imagine having a long commute. That would be horrible.
14:44
Now people are saying I'll get stuck in traffic a lot and bla bla bla. I'm like "That's nice, I'm still sitting comfortable, warm and with good music. Oh and the commute is still half an hour shorter"
Well, I guess it would mainly be horrible if you had to drive the whole way. I can see taking the train being a lot nicer
0 second commute best commute.
well you have to commute from your bed to your desk
@twobugs I prefer driving than using trains/busses.
Is there a commuter train from bed to desk?
14:45
@GnomeSlice I pass by my desk when I let the cats in when I get up.
@twobugs I used to take the train. The train bit is fine, it's the bit of getting to the train station, and then to the office from the destination station
@Arperum Well, weren't you part of that train crash a few years back? I can certainly see that impacting your view
@twobugs I took the train the day after said crash.
I've been in two car accidents (thankfully neither resulted in injury for anyone) but it has definitely changed my view
@Arperum I can't even imagine doing that. You're either crazy or brave or a bit of both
A car is just so bloody convenient.
@twobugs Pretty certain it's the last option. The crazy is certainly in there, and I like to think some bravery too.
14:51
I certainly hear you about the convenience aspect. That is hard to argue. I just hate having to be aware the whole time while driving
Modes of transportation other than car are unavailable to me, driving is the only option.
I'd love to use public transit but I don't live in downtown and the campus isn't there either.
Thankfully there is decent public transportation here, but not to my next job. So a car is basically needed (it's only about a 10 minute drive, but the route is not conducive to biking sadly)
Clearly we need Secret of Mana cannon-travel.
@twobugs I'm used to it. 90% of the time I've been in a car the last couple of years I was either driving or sleeping (on long trips while the second driver was driving)
What really bothers me about driving too is that someone else can just slam into you and that can be the end of it
(That was my second accident - someone just ran into me and I did nothing wrong)
14:56
@twobugs you have to drive in a car (as a passenger, preferably) for a while after the crash to recover from it
@MadMAxJr I preferred the Dragon with incomprehensible early era mode 7 world map
if you just stay away from cars, you won't get over the fear/anxiety
Yeah, I'm mostly over the anxiety of it by now but it still makes me wary. I just hate having to remain super aware - it makes me feel like I can't relax and it wears on my nerves
when I was 12'ish, I was in a car accident in the front passenger seat. We got rammed into the front of the car on passenger side. I didn't have seat belt on and the other car did a more than 180 degree turn from the slam
I got through with just a massive bump on my forehead, but I probably could've died if I was less lucky
I was afraid of driving in the car for a long time and my butthole would clench every time a car would come from the side and stop before a turn
I still don't really like cars coming from the side
although I find it's less bad when I'm driving
it took me a long time to get over it, but eventually I just realized that me worrying has no impact on what happens
My mother is kinda the same, and the last time she was in an accident (some woman drove into us from the right side) was over 10 years ago.
15:00
if there's a crash, there's a crash. I can't keep worrying about potential crashes. Worrying might actually make a crash more likely
Me? Meh, as long as there's a handwidth space between me and the other car while it speeds past me, I don't care. Even if I'm not in the rather secure cage of a car but just walking.
What bothers me is morons in big cities always in a rush and trying to cut you off to save a second off their commute
I'm glad I don't live in a big city, but it has its drawbacks too
@Chippies Agreed. If everyone cooperates, the entire system runs smoother and faster.
But then, I'm driving 50 thousand km per year. Whatever crazy manoeuvre the other car driver is doing, I've seen it all.
@MBraedley that's the whole benefit of interlinked self driving cars, no?
15:02
indeed
Interlinked self driving cars would be amazing for transportation but probably terrifying for any passengers
@twobugs no/very tinted windows
it should be like an elevator
get in, wait, get out
@twobugs Nope. Still won't care, same as I do with planes or trains I don't have to pilot. Got enough books to read.
@Chippies I think you'll have a difficult time selling that :P
@twobugs well, at first yeah
but as we progress, it might become the norm
I'm being idealistic here :P
@KevinvanderVelden have you seen the movies?
15:08
Hopefully. Self-driving cars are going to face a huge hurdle whenever the first human casualty crops up. I'd expect lots of knee-jerk reactions
@twobugs assuming all cars are interlinked and self-driving, human casualties seem a lot less likely
human casualties are inevitable with morons on the road though
True, but it'd be a while before that. Presumably we'd get driverless cars rolled out in stages
and media will probably put a spin on it that makes it seem like the self driving cars are at fault
And yeah, someone would make a mistake and die. It wouldn't matter that driverless cars are far, far safer - "Do you want to trust your life to a cold, uncaring machine? What if it encounters a glitch and kills you?"
(Disregarding, you know, CARS TO BEGIN WITH)
@fredley thank you for reminding me that I'm no longer 21 as of next Monday
15:11
@Unionhawk going back to being 20?
can't blame you, being an adult sucks
No I'm going to be being 22 because that's how time works
@Unionhawk HAS LEVELED DOWN: DATA ACCEPTED
@Unionhawk you can't lose with 22's
@twobugs The media have been pretty good about them so far.
And the UK government plans to have them on the roads before the end of next year.
Some states have been pretty against them I think? I wonder if this will become some weird proxy modern version of the civil war
15:15
@Unionhawk I decided back when I was 22 that aging was overrated, and so I stopped doing it. Sure, my physical me might still age, but mental me is still going all sorts of crazy.
@twobugs The US is crazy.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS DID NOT INTEND MACHINE MEN TO BE FITTED INTO CAR BODIES. THEY INTENDED THEM TO BE FIT INTO KILLING MACHINES DESIGNED SOLELY FOR WAR!
I don't really know why I caps lock'd that, but it just felt right.
I DON'T WANT MY TAX DOLLARS GOING TO A MURDER MACHINE
@Unionhawk TOO LATE
@Unionhawk CANDIDATE KILLBOT WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE BY ENDING TAXES ONCE ALL ORGANICS ARE DEAD
#MAKEAMERICAINORGANICAGAIN
15:17
Anyone here has played Titan Souls? It's on a good sale right now, but the reviews don't paint it at the best light
@Chippies Everyone I know who has played that game tried to like it but ended up really frustrated
I skipped it cause it just sounded bleh
@twobugs that seems to be the consensus in the reviews
Might be worth it on sale and at least the art looks cool
Idk, might wait for it to get bundled or something
That's probably a good idea, seemingly everything is bundled sooner or later
15:20
we're planning to buy a house this year and we've had so many one-time expenses in the last 2 years and I also plan on getting a new phone soon...
I need a better job >.>
> The median salary for developers in the US who know Spark is $125k, and there are plenty of cloud devs who are making a lot more than that.
Well I know what I'm learning now
@Chippies no, read the books (at least the first 3, I need to get the 4th)
> Don’t call programmers “rockstars” or “ninjas”. Only about 10% of devs call themselves ninjas, and 7% consider themselves rockstars.
Oh wow, people actually call themselves "Rockstars" or "Ninjas"
15:22
@Unionhawk You have no more birthdays to look forward to now, that was it. From now on it's downhill all the way.
hahahahahahahahaha
@KevinvanderVelden I have not read the books, but the two movies were quite interesting
Enjoy the next few years though, after 25 it gets really bad
had some great CGI at the time as well
Yeah, 25 is going to be meh
A thing, anyway
15:23
@fredley car insurance gets a lot cheaper though
@Unionhawk Both groups overwhelming identify as "growth hackers"
Which is proof that they just like Really Silly Terms
Car insurance going down health insurance becoming my problem
@Unionhawk with Trump in power, you'll probably move to Canada anyway
@Unionhawk but how many of them consider themselves pirates? That's the real question
@Chippies Nope
15:24
Haha #2 term for "rockstars" to identify as is "Executive"
FOUND THE CRAZY GUY!
@KevinvanderVelden 12% or less
@Chippies What's a car?
@twobugs Executive ninja rockstar
@fredley something people in NA usually need, due to vast emptiness and size obsession
We should deploy ninjas to eliminate the Rockstar Executive Growth Hacker menance
15:25
> 10% of respondents self-identified as Ninjas. Real ninjas don’t tell you they’re ninjas. They just sneak up on you and slit your throat, which generally constitutes "hostile workplace environment."
if you can't fit 4 families in your house, it's probably too small for you
@Unionhawk so 90% of respondents are ninjas? Cool
Doctor Who beat Babylon 5 as sci-fi write in franchises. This cannot stand
our apartment in Latvia for 4 people was half the size of the apartment we are renting here for 2
15:29
Haha at biggest losing trends
Windows Phone at -65.2%
cc @ardaozkal
@Chippies Something Londoners cannot afford, and would not be able to use
@fredley Pretty much. No need for a car in London
more hassle to own a car than good
See the problem is the UK doesn't have enough empty space
@Unionhawk We have that, it's called Scotland
15:31
it takes ~10 hours to go from anywhere to anywhere within Latvia
it takes at least an hour to go between towns in Newfoundland with only trees in between
What about for equivalent values of anywhere?
Clearly we should just concentrate everything on Earth into a few megacities
@Chippies ROFL. What about 3-4 hours to get between any two points in Belgium?
Don't ask me why. I'll be buying up construction stock, though
@twobugs The Dutch are already doing that.
15:33
@Arperum is Belgium even smaller than Latvia? o.o
I, for one, welcome our new Dutch overlords
1 min ago, by Unionhawk
What about for equivalent values of anywhere?
@Chippies Belgium is quite small.
It is Nieuw-Nederland all over again, isn't it?

Q: What are the type of view projections in league of legend, or dota 2?

user3442960I know the theories behind parallel, perspective, and side scrolling, but still can't tell exact projection types used behind the games confidently. Although similar questions have been asked before, the answers seem to differ from person to person, confusing me even more. So are league of legen...

15:34
@Arperum wow, according to wiki, Latvia has twice the area of Belgium and 1/5th of the population...
Michigan is not a large state but it takes a while to get around depending on destination
Something to do with these "Great Lakes"
I guess you could argue we're a large state but we're certainly no Texas or Alaska
Michigan has Kalamazoo. that's just fun to say.
Oh wait you were both talking maximum travel time. QUESTION WITHDRAWN
Michigan has also Hell on Earth.
Michigan is not hell on earth!
15:36
@Unionhawk Yes, maximum travel time between any points within the country
There are significantly worse places than Michigan
Like Detroit!
Hell, or Hiland Lake, is an unincorporated community in Putnam Township of Livingston County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is near the border with Washtenaw County, about 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Ann Arbor. Hell is 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Pinckney via Patterson Lake Road. The community is served by the Pinckney post office with ZIP Code 48169. == History == Hell grew up around a sawmill, gristmill, distillery and tavern. All four were operated by George Reeves, who moved to the area in the 1830s from the Catskill Mountains in New York. He purchased a sawmill on what is...
Excuse me, it's called Delta City
@Chippies I thought you were saying at least 10 hours to travel to anywhere, which is clearly absurd
15:37
Didn't you see the documentary "RoboCop"?
Newfoundland Area: 405,212 km2; Population: 514,536
mwaahaha
vast empty nothingess all around
@MartinSojka Hm for certain values of pedantry I will allow your statement
@Unionhawk I can see how that could be taken from how I worded it
@twobugs You work in mapping in Michigan and you don't know about Hell, Michigan?
Michigan also contains other towns with funny names which amuse juvenile people like me
15:38
I bet you don't even know where Wyoming is
Wyoming isn't real.
spoiler alert it's in Ohio
Wyoming is a city in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. The population was 8,428 at the 2010 census. == Geography == Wyoming is located at 39°13′43″N 84°28′28″W (39.228609, −84.474391). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.87 square miles (7.43 km2), all land. == History == Among the earliest settlers in what is now Wyoming was the Pendery family who came in 1805. Wyoming was named after Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. == Education == Wyoming has a renowned education program – the Wyoming City School District was ranked first in the state of Ohio on the...
It's that state that's mostly fenced off because it has ICBMs
I see you Hell, Michigan and raise you a town I assure you every schoolkid in Michigan knows about
Gaylord is a city in and the county seat of Otsego County, Michigan, United States. The population was 3,645 at the 2010 census. The city is also the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gaylord; it is by far the smallest settlement serving as the location of an active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States. Gaylord styles itself as an "alpine village" and the city center features many buildings with Tyrolean traverse style motifs. Receiving abundant snowfall and experiencing mild summer temperatures, for many years the area around Gaylord has become known for its many skiing and golf resorts...
15:39
I've driven I-80 clear through Wyoming. There's four sets of gates where they can close the highway in the event of apocalyptic snow.
@fredley Thanks, as if it wasn't already St. Patrick's Day
(spoiler alert it is)
@fredley Oh dammit is this one of those Doodle God things
Accident (ˈæk.sə.dɛnt) is a town in Garrett County, Maryland, United States. The population was 325 at the 2010 census. The town is home to Northern Garrett High School. According to the book Labels for Locals by Paul Dickson, a person from Accident is called an "Accidental". == History == Accident, Garrett County, Maryland was one of the early settlements in the far west of Maryland. When Lord Baltimore opened up the area he called Monocacy Manor to settlement in the early 1770s, Brooke Beall secured permission to survey 778 acres (3.15 km2). It will never be known for certain how Beall came to...
Yeah this is dumb
Mainly because I've played it
For the record I was aware of Hell, Michigan. I just assumed the wrong level of literalness
15:42
Well that was your first, second, and third mistake
It always is
Just because I'm German doesn't mean I'm capitalising every Noun I'm using ...
@twobugs we will be generous (mostly)
@fredley I've got an atomic bomb, I'm done
@KevinvanderVelden I got a cyborg

YOU'RE A CYBORG
Soon after I got blood
Prepare to cry.

Thanks @Chippies now I want to play Stardew Valley
You jerk
I'VE GOT ARTICLES TO READ AND STUFF TO WRITE FOR TOMORROW
I guess I can start that now since senior design is at a standstill, huh
16:02
Stardewwwwww
YOU JEEEEEEEERK
@Unionhawk factorio
Factorio sounds cool but it can wait
Yeah, I've watched people play factorio through, so, meh
meh/meh
16:04
@twobugs factorio demands that you fix the power issues with your layout, NOW!
factorio 5/7, perfect game
A perfect 5/7? Wow...
ugh i hate when i mismeme
Cafeteria had corned beef today. Not bad.

Q: World of Tanks Blitz

LegendaryWarsI play world of Tanks Blitz on PC. My computer started acting weird, and wouldn't even shut down or restart, forcing me to unplug it. When I plugged it back in, the game was gone from the computer and I couldn't access it, but the computer acted as if it was still there, and i can't re-install it...

@twobugs i'll just petition @ardaozkal
he always has the dankest memes
16:09
Wee! Performance review today! I hope.
@GodEmperorDune @ardaozkal is not affiliated with the licence bureau of the Guild of Cool Dudes
good morning bridge
It's been pushed back for a week now.
@Frank so, will you get a raise?
@Dragonrage I had better.
And not a small one, either.
16:10
@Frank well gl then.
@GodEmperorDune A word of warning - when you meme into the dankness, the dankness memes back. Or something. Meme responsibly.
@Unionhawk my memes are not authorized by the guild of cool dudes, thy're from the society of dank memes
@GodEmperorDune i think you mean the society of bad memes
@Dragonrage no pepes for you!
The meme civil war is starting to turn ugly.
16:15
In strange aeons, even memes can die.
@twobugs Dankness is coming.

Q: Why have I suddenly started automatically drinking water when I look at it?

gnoviceI'm playing the Blast Off! modpack from Feed The Beast. I'm pretty far into the game and recently out of no where I've begun drinking from water source blocks automatically when I look at them. I recall previously that I had to right-click on the water with an empty hand to drink it. The problem...

Where's @kalina when we need giant amounts of indiscriminate fire?
@Yuuki you didnt meme it. shame on you, your family, and your cow
16:18
@Unionhawk do you even farm bro?
@Unionhawk I still haven't done a full half of my farm, currently working on an orchard.
I'm also in year 1 so I think I'm doing pretty okay
Does it matter where you place a silo other than it takes up a 4x4 and can look cool?
@Yuuki I've got a field with hops blueberries and a couple other things
I can't wait until I get to farming 8
Because kegging all the things
@Unionhawk I'm thinking that I need to pave part of the bottom half of my farm and just turn it into a distillery.
Because I have waaaay too many crops and not enough barrels.
16:20
@Yuuki Mhmm
Yeah
I currently have 300+ blueberries.
I'm at like a couple hundred berries?
Yeah
It's absurd
Once I get my hands on four iridium sprinklers, I'm going to set them up in the greenhouse and farm Ancient Berries, Strawberries, and Blueberries.
I still have to find my last winter forage to finish the pantry bundles. :(
They sell for 750g base!
16:23
I've got several sprinklers crafted, so I'm getting ready for autumn
I don't know what I want to grow in autumn other than cranberries
I'm crafting all the sprinklers
Actually, I think I made a list
And during summer my plan is to become the Melon Magnate
As apparently they're one of the highest profit crops
> Cranberry Pumpkin Grape Corn 1 eggplant 1 yam 1 sunf 5 gold pumpkin 5 gold corn
Man, the stamina cost of maintaining that much
Yeah that's why I'm going hard on sprinklers
The tier 1 sprinklers suck but each one is 4 squares so I'll take it
16:25
@twobugs Melons are nice, it's just that the replanting is annoying.
And cuts into your profits a little bit.
True, I hadn't factored that in
Oh well, too late to really transition to blueberries
Hmmm melons, I've got a nice melon for desert tonight
Speaking of tonight, it is hometime :D
On the face of it, melons sell for more than blueberries (250g vs 80g), but blueberries are harvested 3 at a time (so more like 240g) and there's no replanting cost.
Now I feel like quite the fool
Can you keg melons? I mean I guess I assume you can
16:28
They have similar growth rates, but blueberries regrow every 3 days and melons have a 12 day turnaround.
I wish I had bought enough strawberry seeds for next spring. I'll have to remember to do that next flower fest
Plus, once you get your hands on a seed maker, you could set aside some of your blueberry harvest each season and never have to pay for seeds again.
Whereas that's not really an option for melons.
Multi-harvest crops have almost always outperformed single-harvest crops in Harvest Moon and I guess it's the same with Stardew Valley.
The plus side for melons is they give you a chance to double your crop if you plant them in 3x3 plots.
I never really crunched the numbers that efficiently, I usually just look at sale vs per unit price (which is obviously very naive)
That was the last time I played Harvest Moon at least
@Fluttershy Yeah, but it's not really feasible to do en masse since you have to manually water 3x3 plots.
Unless you have a weird iridium sprinkler set-up.
16:31
@twobugs Yeah, I didn't realize you could only buy them at the flower fest
I read the wiki as "available after spring 23 year 1"
Hm I wonder what the next best think for me to focus on in The Division would be. I'm betting it's crafting high end magazines and hoping for a god-roll
@Unionhawk Yeah :(
Oh well, I've got enough stuff to keg
I think the Strawberries availability is stupid but whatever
They should be readily available in year 2+ Spring IMO
But man if I can get a godroll on a high end magazine
@Yuuki But that becomes less of an issue with the copper watering can.
@Fluttershy Even with the gold watering can, it's annoying to manually water more than eight 3x3 plots.
16:35
I want a high end secondary but I don't know of any good high end marksman rifles
And the rifles are just so good for PVE
Short of gobbling down lots of food (which again cuts into your profits) or spending time in the spa, you effectively start out with half your max stamina for the day.
Oh the spa recovers energy? I wondered what the point of it was. That makes sense.
@Yuuki I'm okay with eating food. The idea of trying to hold on to every last coin to maximize profits seems like it's too much stress added to a stress-free game. Plus it's what Joja Corp. would do. And that's just terrible.
@twobugs Fairly quickly too, but you have to be standing still in the water.
I'm taking this fitness survey and they want to know how much time I spend "sedentary" each day
Eh, managing a number of 3x3 plots for giant crops is more stressful for me than just building sprinklers and letting them auto-water.
But that's just me.
16:37
The amount of time is going to be very, very high
@Yuuki To each their own! I'm trying to get to where I can consistently get iridium so I can set up sprinklers myself, so I was mostly just playing devil's advocate.
Speaking of... Where do you get iridium consistently? I had zero iridium in the mines, save for what I got from magma/omni-geodes.
I do feel like there is a bit of stress on my end to maximize my numbers
@Fluttershy Skull Dungeon. And that place is annoying.
@twobugs Eh, I was just talking about my set-up and my reasoning. Have fun with your stuff and don't worry about how much money other people are making.
Nah I mean, I do that to myself. I like numbers to go up and in a farmin' game numbers go up geometrically
Okay, this documentation claims it recognizes all CSS-recognized colors. That's a lie because it doesn't recognize "orange"
I guess I can just use hex values but that's not as human readable
@twobugs No you need to use rhyming slang for all the CSS colours.
16:51
It accepts "purple" though!
Heh.
Whitesmoke is clearly the best css colour though.
True, I just picked well-known colors with good contrast for usability
YUS FARMING 8
I picked Scout at combat 5, I hope that wasn't a mistake
@Yuuki Just a lot of enemies that do a lot of damage?
