sea-wall around norway. keep the vikings in.
@arda Incidentally, this calculation interpreted as ($1500 Canadian dollars)*(distance from the center of the US to the center of Canada) is correct
Also, you can test it here
@arda wolframalpha.com/input/?i=$1500+canadian+to+american
I had all sort of weird results by wolfram alpha, but this is by far the best I've seen
14:02
Huh, the URL doesn't escape properly
Ah, the dollar sign
I tried the query on Google. The dollar sign makes a difference
Without it of course it gets parsed correctly
But with it the parser now thinks the $ in $1500 as a unit
@PrivatePansy use cad/usd etc.

Q: Play Pokemon Go On An Amazon Fire Phone?

John Smith Could I play pokemon go on an amazon fire phone? If so, how?

someone from gamedev pointed something out: nothing seen in the pokemon go ad is actually in the game (except catching)
14:08
Everyone is so mad that Pokemon Go isn't the one true god of gaming.
> Tracking with distances, trading, battles, group battles, random encounter fights
@arda An advert gave unrealistic expectations for a game? Stop the presses!
Ship it Tuesday, get it right by Generation 3

Q: Where did my transfer button go in Pokemon go?

mmomThe option or button to transfer Pokemon's to the professor has disappeared? Droid Phone. Is there a limit of transfers?

Clearly the lack of the ability to pet your pokemon and feed them treats renders this unplayable.
@arda you must have missed the latest update, they also took out "catching". now there's just "running away" and "swearing a lot."
@KutuluMike well yeah
We had a meeting about why the site is crap, a bunch of reasons, including all the crap we've had to toss on there at the reuest of sales annnnnnnnd bam lolol
14:28
@Wipqozn STOP RIGHT THERE
man when I saw that, I laughe so hard
note: not frmo my PC
@Wipqozn I don't get this image?
happy: I can now install 'git' and 'python' from Ubuntu on Windows 10.
sad: I now have two copies of 'git' and 'python' installed
14:30
@twobugs too many ads from too many providers is what I see
Well yes, there is that horrible thing on the right side of the screen
@twobugs that's the thing I wanted to show
@fredley Love my site
Oh, I thought you meant there was something hidden
someone mentioned that, and the VP who was responsible for most of that stuff is like "I don't think there's 35 calls going on for ads"
so then that image happened
14:33
@Wipqozn pls
382 requests
382
three hundred
and eighty two
requests
So the permafrost in northern Siberia has thawed out a bit, releasing anthrax from a long-frozen reindeer carcass
@fredley holy shit
The site and server has been crapping over itself worse than usual, and they're like "what's the problem!?!?!" and we're like "well remember how for the past 4 years we've been saying we need to devote time and resources to maintenance, and stop putting so much crap on the site, and get better servers? Well this is the result of never listening to us"
Step one: reduce number of requests
We're just really taking 2016 as far as we can, at this point
@Wipqozn Yeah but you should have done that while fulfilling all your other duties and without needing any additional funds, jeeze
Are you really qualified for the job if you can't do magic?
14:35
@fredley yup. The VP finally seems to get it, now though
and he's like "okay can I have a print out of all the apps that are loading so we can turn some of them off"
Oh look, it's still going
@fredley oh man, we did it in a meeting

Q: Does internet speed or computer speed affect thefps of the server?

technikfeDoes the internet speed or computer speed of the host affect the fps of a minecraft server? If so how to make the fps better without tinkering with the internet speed or

it never really stopped
14:36
the VP was like horrified
9.7MB
10/10
Now it's up to 10.3
@fredley If you keep our site open long enough, your entire browser will crash. Mostly only happens if you have adblock off, though.
Now 12
It's going up faster
In fact at one point we used to refresh our ads
@Wipqozn holy shit
14:37
@fredley but they're all neatly parallelized!
Maximum overincognito
which is, after 45 seconds, we'd recall every ad placement
@Wipqozn please burn the servers and rewrite the whole thing.
It preloads the entire mp4 video, that's 6.4MB right there
note: don't do that.
14:38
@fredley I've said to the head of sales, on more than one occasion, that our site is why people use adblock.
One Netbet ad is another 2.6MB
and he's like "i get it", and thne tomorrow "can we add a new ad nit to the site"
Classy advertisers btw
i should go through all these old kittens-game questions and see how many can be answered.
@fredley Fun times!
@fredley pls
@fredley Glorious. Just glorious.
this question is a duplicate of this question
but the old question has a "wrong" answer.
14:40
Page is up to 20MB now
@fredley hey, you guys have about 1.2 betting ads per second per tv channel running at any one time
It's gonna overtake my massive console output eventually
@fredley Protip: Don't visit our site on mobile
@badp Do we? I haven't watched tv this year yet
you're soon going to have to run betting ads picture-in-picture
14:40
@Wipqozn RIP data plan
It's weird actually. Most people are probably exposed to a shitton of advertising on TV, internet etc. I see none of that.
Maybe if I watched ads, Brexit would make sense
3
@fredley Actually, to be fair, we don't load as much crap on mobile I believe. oh also, and this is fantastic, we have a whole other site for mobile. Our desktop site isn't resposnive. If we detect someone is on a mobile device, we redirect'em to the mobile theme. The mobile site is responsive.... but we turned off all the responsive parts of it I believe, and can only be viewed in portrait.
@fredley BREXIT LOTTERY FREE MONEY BET NOW
I'm not even sure why
@Wipqozn pls
That dev I always complained about implemented the new mobile theme into the site (another company made it),a nd it took him 6 months, I think. Six.
14:44
@Wipqozn I've said it before and I'll say it again: GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT
@fredley CRAZY TALK EVERYTHING IS FINE
actually we've got this shiny new plan for building a whole new site
and I'll be playing a lead part in it, probably, so I'm hoping that actually happens, and doesn't go terribly, and I can point to my company website without shame when I apply for a new job and go "I made our site not a giant pile of lifehacks!"
Well actually a torrent site did somehow get past my adblock the other day and open a popup to this site CAUTION: SCAM, which gave me a terrifying insight into what people fall for.
Probably open that site incognito, it's not NSFW though

Q: Pokemon go logged me out and it won't let me sign back in?

GriffinI try to sign back in but it just says can't find email adress,try signing in again.I need help please.

@fredley autoplaying video tho
Wow, the Fallen London app is huge
14:47
@fredley ugh
not stoppable either
54MB, and on launch it downloads a bunch of audio files
@fredley if there was a way to turn $200 to $10000 in 10 days, everyone would be rich (not for long) and inflation rate would fly.
rekt
@arda There is a way to do that, it's called 'scamming'
@fredley ah, yep, forgot about that
14:50
@fredley It wasn't very professional
The audio was bad, and the second video looks like it was shot on a phone
@PrivatePansy lol ikr
Also man who has $400,000 has that wallpaper
@fredley why do you think he has $400,000?
certainly not because he spends cash on wallpapers
@badp clearly
Man I'd be a millionaire if it wasn't for this wallpaper habit

@fredley My sister who is a university level educated person nearly got scammed through some "we need to pay you money back you overpayed for electricity"
@Arperum Some of them are good
spear phishing is very hard to defend against
(not that that necessarily was)
14:54
She luckily asked my mom to see, and then got a clue when she got more identical mails for multiple other things, including stuff she doesn't have.
I can't believe I waited five minutes waiting for this music to downlo- oooh, this is nice
mlm is one of the scariest scams
there are some legit ones but the scam ones are scary
Huh, the game is using a very old version of my account
sooooooooo im not sure wtf my isp has done but they want to install a phone line, pretty sure we already have one :/
15:09
@djsmiley2k Then they can charge you more line rental!
well we already paying that, ACCORDING TO THE NEW CONTRACT THEY snt me its actually cheaper
@TimStone Indeed. It's getting way past ridiculous now.
did someone forget to tell the Japanese team that Pokemon: Go is not an Olympic sport?
@Yuuki lol
@KutuluMike but overwatch is.
LUCIOBALL FTW
15:22
well obviously.
@arda I think the Americans are going to gold medal that one. By virtue of killing the other teams.

Q: Pokemon go - cant see pokestops, gyms etc without wifi

jonywickI played pokemon go yesterday and everything was fine. But now I cant see anything on map only if I am connected to network with wifi. I got enough data on my phone and everything worked fine yesterday. Now I se pokestops only with wifi connection. Any help ?

Q: Pokemon go won't work 😩

Laurie WheelerPokemon go won't let me log in and with my Google play account ever since I logged out 2 days ago 31 of July and I don't know what to do Pls help😀

Meh, still having trouble deciding what class to play in the new WoW expansion
So many cool choices :(
Hmm... I don't have my wallet
rip
demon hunter!
double jumping ftw
15:30
I'm currently signed up as Demon Hunter but I dunno. Certain parts of it seem less than stellar
The artifact animation looks really silly, and not in a good way
There will be a million demon hunters
@twobugs McCree
hides
@sequoiad Yes well I have a raiding guild so that doesn't bother me
I'm going to try them out at the early release
but tbh I'm now 99% convinced of sticking with my Druid
15:32
'Is this question a dupe?'
One of the other problems is my guild's lineup is heavily slanted towards both Agi and Leather
https://t.co/VkUX1pFtWN
ooo grrr I dunno what game to get into
Shall I return to and rage more at dark souls 2?
:/
@twobugs yea I can see that will hurt when it comes to divvying loot
agi leather is, i think anyway, the gear used by more specs than any other
or Agi is as a stat anyway
Oh by the way, Homestar Runner is 20 years old this year as well apparently
In case pokemon being 20 wasn't already making people feel old
15:37
I need Int leather, which is much less used so it's all good
with haste
Hmm... are Restoration Paladins still a thing?
@Yuuki yes

Q: Do an searching system in forge 1.7.10

JakiHappyCityI need to get something like "Searching system" like in Applied Energistics, but that's can find only items, which on ae system. But i need to get any item, which names $"myTextField.getText()" and displaying it into gui. Thats ready? Search Box. Not, i'm not first at GUI in Minecraft, but i don'...

Q: Egg refusing to hatch

TerryI did a search and didn't spot any questions similar to mine. My apologies if there is. I have an egg which is refusing to hatch. As you can see in the image, it is at 1.99/2.00. I've walked at least an extra 2km since it got to this, and restarted both the app and phone.

And do they still do Int Plate or did that get changed?
though they get Int Plate i think
15:41
I remember occasionally competing with a restoration paladin on certain drops as a discipline priest back in WotLK because we'd both stack Intellect instead of Spellpower or some other stat that most healers focused on.
Hmm... I... wonder
lol
yeah that used to happen a lot, but now gear tends to be divided up a lot more and you get bonuses for clothing being all the same type
location services thinks this computer is in WI
Trinkets tend to be the most widely contested things
in my experience anyway
@sequoiad Well, I heard that a lot of stats were either removed or combined when I left.
15:43
@Yuuki The primary stat on armor changes based on your spec now. There's no more Agi Leather or Int Leather, there's just leather with secondary stats
Spellpower being merged into Intellect for one of them.
@Yuuki yep
and set gear now is restricted to certain classes as tokens
That caused a lot of grief, I heard. Especially for Discipline Priests and Restoration Paladins since they used to enjoy relative lack of competition in gearing up due to not really caring about Spellpower.
@badp Remember when GBP hit rock bottom? Well it's tanking again today, so that wasn't even the rockiest bottom.
TAKE THAT WALLET BEING MISSING IN MY HOUSE SOMEWHERE
15:44
@fredley why is that?
PANERA RAPID PICK UP TO THE RESCUEEEEEEEEEEEE
It was a godsend for Balance Druids though, we actually got gear finally
@badp Rate cut from the central bank
Its a double edged sword. Leather wearers kinda hate life but at the same time it reduces the amount of wasted gear
@fredley which central bank?
15:45
@badp England...
CLIFFS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES
@fredley ...okay
before WotLK Int Leather was almost impossible to get hold of at max level
Before if you had Int Plate drop but your guilds H Pally was already BiS then that was a wasted drop
But now since plate is plate you're more likely to find someone who can use the gear
@fredley eh
Where is that stupid gif that was made for @Wipqozn
15:46
it's been worse
Yeah it looks like 11 july was lower
By a couple cents
BUT STILL
@sequoiad Yup

Q: Can't click on pokemon in the nearby menu and no footseps showing for distance

pokegoerneedhelpmanI've logged in and out, restarted my phone, updated, but the pokemon footsteps indicating whats near wont show up. The pokemon can still appear but it does not let me click on them on the menu or show the footsteps.

We also have almost no Strength users
15:54
glass half full!!
Success!
@badp Great job on that Brexit @fredley !!!
BREXIT!!! START!!!
you can also take comfort in the fact that, as bad as the GBP got, it never got worse than the USD
15:56
Currency vs Currency is not a good indication of things
@KutuluMike I'm pretty sure that's not how currency trading works
@twobugs You're not a good indication of things
That's correct, I am in fact a thing and not an indicator
@murgatroid99 Pretty sure. 1 GBP used to be one and a half times as good as a USD. Now it's only 1.3 times as good, but it's still better, right?
we definetly have more agi users than anything else, but agi gear seems to drop more often
15:57
well, apart from bow weapons
@sequoiad I'm mainly worried about trinkets where we'll have like 13 people competing for Agi trinkets
There's nothing good or bad about one arbitrary unit of once currency being worth more or less than the arbitrary unit of a different currency
Vs 3 for Strength trinkets
15:59
@twobugs yeah, the big agi effect trinkets are definetly sought after
We also have Too Many Damn Druids already so leather is fuct
@murgatroid99 The twodollar is currently worth more than the pound.
@murgatroid99 perhaps. too bad this is one currency losing out against all other currencies
@Ronan toonie
means that if you own pounds, they're worth 10% less
if you own pounds, that's bad news for you
I wonder who would be so foolish to own pounds
16:00
@badp Right. I was going to say that it's the change over time that matters, not the actual ratio
@twobugs but that's because druids are great
@badp But that's change in value, rather than actual value.
we only have like 4
time to invest in gold?
:D
@Ronan so if you want everything that is not in pounds got 10% more expensive
like, uh, petrol
16:00
1 bear, 1 boomkin and a resto
(or, pretty much everything)
That's still not how it works.
havn't really looked into how weapon drops are going to work, since we use artifact weapons in Legion
If everything is becoming more valuable relative to the pound, then it makes more sense to say that only the pound is changing
@Ronan I'll let you expose
16:02
6 mins ago, by KutuluMike
you can also take comfort in the fact that, as bad as the GBP got, it never got worse than the USD
@sequoiad You might get artifact power or artifact relics from bosses, but you also get those things on your own
Is not how it works.
@twobugs you need more DK's (which is something I never thought i'd say after WotLK)
@Ronan It doesn't work at all anyway
@fredley I know.
16:03
@murgatroid99 Your pound is now this pear
@SonofaSailor I assume we can get like token drops to upgrade artifact then?
Stop it, I can't hold the concept of more than 2 related values in my head at once!
You can get artifact relics, which are kinda like gems but for your artifact
@fredley just focus on the SUCCESS
16:06
@SonofaSailor ah I see, so we can upgrade both as we go along
the Scythe of Elune... will be mine!
But how can it be yours when it'll be mine?
I'll rent it to you
10k per day?
9k and a weapon enchant

Q: DotA 2 Class Picking In Heroes Tab

@Lazers2.0 lul
@Lazers2.0 That's already almost on our most lowest voted questions.
@twobugs So apparently Illidan is dead-but-not-dead?
@Yuuki yep
I hope he becomes a good guy. Warcraft is long-due for a good redemption story.
Way too much "pride is the cardinal sin" corruption stories, tbh.
yeah

Q: How place a block on a specific block in Minecraft?

TheMonkeysI know how to make it but I want to place it on a blue stained glass, not on a simple stained_glass? Can you help me ?!

not gonna say anythiing 'cos spoilers, but the Demon Hunter intro says a lot about it
Besides, I was always a bit annoyed at Illidan's story arc. Oh, he's a bad guy because Tyrande doesn't know how to say "I'm honestly not interested in you, we should probably see other people"?
@Yuuki He got better
@Yuuki you should read the novel Illidan, it gives his side of the events of TBC and is very good
He was a bad guy in TBC because no real reason
16:25
And when he takes the Skull of Gul'dan, his brother is all, "you're a monster, GTFO" rather than "oh hey, you absorbed some super-dangerous demon energies. you're my brother, i should probably help you out".
In Cata they had a 5man dungeon where you go back in time to the war of the ancients
tl;dr Malfurion is the real Big Bad of Azeroth.
Malfurion is awesome
These are some good summaries @Yuuki, do more of them
Anyway in Cata they basically completely and utterly absolved Illidan of any sin
16:26
Whats your take on Garrosh?
Garrosh Did Nothing Wrong
besides, we all know the real big bad of Azeroth is Millhouse Manastorm
"I'm a little b---- because my dad is super awesome."
What about Arthas?
Arthas's story also annoys me a little bit.
16:28
The Arthas story I always thought was really silly
Mostly because Uther is an idiot.
I mean, Stratholme was literally the zombie apocalypse.
But nooooooo, purging the city is a Bad Thing.
what's your summary of Jaina?
I'd be okay with going into the Caverns of Time and convincing Arthas to let all the infected people out and bring down the entire countryside just to see the look on stupid Uther's face.
@sequoiad I haven't really followed much of WoW past WotLK so I don't really have anything other than "girl really needs to decide whether she likes Arthas or not".
@Yuuki Well I think the idea is Arthas is wholesale like "Welp, let's just kill 'em all"
i liked her when she almost went full badass at the start of MoP
16:32
@twobugs To be fair, they are literally magical zombies so...
There's no attempt to find an alternate solution or anything, he's just ready to kill everyone
good morning bridge
Plus they got the infected grain either a number of days ago or several weeks, so he's a little pressed for time.
@sequoiad Re: DKs - I've thought about it, we only have one person signed up as DK (and one Warrior, too) but meh
Not to say that he didn't rush, but his situation is a bit understandable.
16:34
For DK Unholy is a goofy ass spec and it's going to be nerfed, Frost is languishing in shitville
Arms is ZZZZ but Fury is cool
And Uther could use some of his super-duper paladin empathy and notice that Arthas is going through a hard time right now.
I think the silliness is more Arthas just completely goes "I must have my revenge even if I will kill everyone to do it!" really quickly
Uther isn't blameless, but Arthas was very hasty in burning in all to the ground
Also, I think it's rather stupid how Warcraft III shows that there was a lot of outside influence in turning Arthas into the Big Bad Lich King (Mal'Ganis, Kel'Thuzad, etc.), but WotLK ends up saying "oh no, Arthas was just Bad All Along".
I'm confused
you discussing... wow maybe?
They don't exactly do that, but they play up the notion that Arthas himself was corrupted
@djsmiley2k Warcraft in general
16:39
@Yuuki wait a secoind
Are you telling me
that blizzard
make bad stories?
Blizzard has some good stories and some bad ones :)
@Wipqozn It's not so much that they make bad stories but rather that they have no sense of continuity.
HOW DOES SLIPSTREAM TRACER STAY IN THE TIME CONTINUUM WITHOUT HER CHEST THING

@Yuuki It's not really that, in WotLK it's literally Arthas himself has become evil
There's a bit of him that is still good and you do quests for him and it culminates in good part getting killed

Here's how you can win free Chipotle burritos for a year http://trib.al/rbLvaQE https://t.co/xxDxJImcQL
sounds the news alert horn
wait is it not the last chapter?
It's not, there's either 1 or 2 more chapters
I'm not entirely sure
I should read the bleach manga from the last anime
16:44
@TimStone I mean, I still avoid Chipotle because health concerns, but I will throw all caution to the winds for free food.
@KevinvanderVelden When was the last one? Like, what arc?
@twobugs uuh ichigo getting his powers back
@Yuuki I still eat Chipotle all the time. Never had any problems with it.
With the uuh, fullbring thing
@TimStone So... I think that means I'm already entered?
I still have a free burrito
16:45
Oh, that's more recent than I expect
So they finished the Fullbring arc?
I hope they keep this around
And maybe nerf it to like, more than 4 visits, and, not expiring monthly
The only time I have had problems with food was when I got salmonella from In-n-out
@Yuuki health as in food safety or health as in "unless you build it in a very specific way it's 700 calories"?
16:47
@KevinvanderVelden Remind me when I get home and I'll be able to give you a chapter number
@twobugs This chapter siad it ends next week. So 1 chapter, unless it's a double release.
@twobugs and yeah, looks like this chapter was devoted to wrapping up all the shinigami character stories.... next weekwill proably be the humans
Well it said that but there was something else which said 2 weeks I think
Next week will probably just be a big spread of "THE END" but mispelled
ojh ha lolol
@twobugs break next week, so 2 weeks then final chapter
Ah, it'll probably be a longer chapter then
Man with Nisekoi ending too that'll be some new room opening up in Jump
I started reading Nisekoi once and I got up to chapter like 7 out of 200ish before I was too frustrated at how repetitive it was

> Fed-up gin drinker becomes tonic water entrepreneur
Onion or not the onion guys?

Not Onion
I always guess Not Onion and I take a shot whenever I'm right
I guess I could just reverse that but no
@twobugs yup
@twobugs Yeah, that author needs to bring back Double Arts.
I should probably catch up on HxH at some point
I have time now because it's on hiatus again (to be fair the author is constantly dying and refuses assistants apparently)
