Q: Minecraft Game Menu Opening Randomly

hodotwell, i didn't mess it up accidentally or purposely, it sorta did it on it's own since the beginning of 1.9/above. i'm not pressing any keys, i even did a test to see if it did it without me pressing any keys. (it did it anyway) it has a delay of a minute and 15 seconds, and i counted. p.s, it d...

Q: Is it still possible to get hat drops

user152834I was just playing a pub server in TF2 and somebody in chat said they got a hat drop. Are they legit? Just wondering.

 
12:41 AM
@Wipqozn Cities is one of those games that I have been wanting to play, but can't justify the cost since I'll likely not play it longer than an hour. lol

@fredley This is really fucking with my brain and I know it's supposed to but man I just I can't even. Like when he turns the first one? Nope. I see it happening and just so much nope/

Q: MC:PE wont sign into Xbox live

CheesedooshWhen I type my information (if I'm lucky to get that screen) it just black screens and goes back to the title menu. It refuses to sign in.

 
the sideways view is super weird and kinda demonstrates how intense it is
 
ah, classic Wasteland... brings back memories.

Q: How do I get better at Ranked games

DewmifySo far I have only played 1 ranked game, and my team was very angry at me when I helped them, I was playing fiddle in the jungle, I would like some quick tips on how to get better at him. Thank you.

 
bleh
I feel so icky. We had out home inspection today and I feel so violated like every fucking thing in my house was open/moved/etc when I came home
 
that's how men in their 50s feel after every exam.
 
@spugsley i know the feeling
we had some inspectors that left our microwave door open
its a small thing but it bothers me so much
 
all my closets and blinds were open :/
 
1:04 AM
@spugsley :(
 
you think they could just put things back afterwards
 
I feel gross. And the stupid buyer agent was like "Why are all these boxes here? Are these gonna be cleaned up?" Um. Were fucking moving.
 
seriously? wow
"no buyer agent, those boxes are part of the allure of the house. we're including them free of charge"
 
lol it got worse
"And there's a cat smell because of the litter box. You're taking that out right?"
oh my fucking god
 
i dunno how someone like that could get work as a realtor
 
1:08 AM
she was a delight :/
 
its like this sales guy i had once. he answered every question with a single short sentence
 
on the plus side, you can't deny the awesomeness of this hair:
 
i had to prompt multiple times to get him to give any information about the product
 
@spugsley damn that's hawt

@Ash sorry, habit i suppose
 
ugh I hate even being in this house now
I can't wait to move
 
@spugsley that is the awesome

@TrentHawkins thanks :D
 
user15026
Well, so far this whole "Get win98 in a VM and then maybe run my game" hasn't completely exploded in my face
 
user15026
I mean it's still in progress, but it might be working. Maybe.
 
user15026
YESSS WIN98 IS WORKING
 
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Now to follow the rest of @arda's instructions...
 
user15026
but hey he got me this far. (Seriously he has been incredibly helpful, wrote me a nice doc with links to the stuff I need and instructions)
 
user15026
Hm, I don't know how to do the next bit
 
user15026
:(
 
@Ash what's the the next bit?
 
Wait a minute. I thought @spugsley was dead like @origamidoesntautocompleteanymore
 
1:35 AM
@Sterno she's too awesome for that
@Ash what program are you using to mount it?
 
@Sterno nah I pop up occasionally, he doesn't come around at all anymore
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune I don't know how to answer that question
 
I mostly come to complain about moving and selling my house
 
user15026
Like...I have win98 in a VM in VirtualBox
 
I'm just a barrel of joy these days
 
user15026
1:36 AM
and now I know I need to mount this inside that (at least that's how I understand)
 
user15026
but I can't figure out how
 
@Ash ok, so an iso is a disk image
so you need a program that fakes a disk player inside that VM
(i dunno if the VM comes with something like that or not)
 
user15026
okay, how do I do that? To get the win98 iso to go I went "Devices" then "optical drive' then selected the iso and it went
 
user15026
I tried to do that in this case but nothing really seems to happen?
 
@Ash hmm
 
user15026
1:38 AM
(aka I'm a giant noob and realy don't know what I am doing)
 
user15026
Like it doesn't seem to actually do anything with it and I am not sure if I am just doing it wrong or something?
 
is there any mount/unmount you need to do on the optical drive?
maybe the win98 iso is still loaded
if its loaded, it could be that this driver iso doesn't have autoplay, so you need to open it up in file explorer and find install or setup or whatever.exe and hit it manually
 
user15026
I FIGURED IT OUT. I feel very smart right now.
 
@Ash yay
 
user15026
2:12 AM
Okay made some progress, but I'm getting sleepy, so I think the rest can wait
 
user15026
I have NO idea why this is a thing
 
user15026
but I like that it is
 
@Ash Those look awkward as heck to move around in, but at the same time they seem to have more freedom of movement than you think should be possible just looking at the thumbnail.
 
2:35 AM
@TrentHawkins I thought they'd just wobble on the spot, but they're actually dancing
Which is pretty cool
I would have been happy if they just wobbled to the music for three minutes either way
 
@Ash There's one that has them dancing to Formation too, heh
 
Okay, after testing I can confirm that git add inside pre-commit hook actually works
It just doesn't appear that way in the commit message

Q: How do you find minefields on the map?

what is the word you use for code that is written in the way that the language design encourages
as opposed to trying to do functional programming in COBOL
or otherwise fighting the design of the programming language
 
@badp I think there's a word per programming language for this.
I know "Pythonic" is a word people use.
That clearly only works for Python.
 
no no no, there's a more generic term
I think
idiomatic

Most corrupt candidate ever, eh?
 
@twobugs note the star. :(
 
I wonder what that poll looked like
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hey, Trump is Just Asking Questions about The Holocaust
 
He might actually have a point on that.
US politicians are bought by the corporations, after all.
 
3:06 PM
@Frank ... Are you seriously implying that trump "has a point" with a blatantly anti-Semitic poster?
No. I know you are not doing that.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz No, I'm implying nothing. I said exactly what I meant.
 
@Frank and I am pointing out that the thing you are saying he "has a point about" is explicitly and violently racist, in a tradition of racism that goes back over a thousand years. I encourage you to reconsider the statement, because, regardless of your intentions, saying "Mussolini made the trains run on time" is not a good look.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz 1) I literally stated exactly what I meant. 2) I was responding to the fact of corruption. I stated nothing at all about the picture.
Whether the picture is racist is one thing; I didn't even touch that.
I didn't even need to see it; I was responding to the, "Most corrupt candidate ever" comment.
 
The picture is explicitly and deliberately linking corruption to Jews.
Trying to divorce it and find nuance is not helpful.
