> A group of scientists in Florida earlier this year showed that the communication between dolphins increases when they are undertaking a difficult task – in one case removing the lid from a canister – as if they were discussing the best solution.
As a Floridian, I, for one, welcome my impending dolphin overlords.

@Sterno Another mission complete. Kidnap. Interesting mission. Took me about 30 minutes, which is short by Thief standards. Looked it up afterwards and the guy you need to kidnap is actually strolling around the entire map, in a route randomly generated when you start the mission. you'll find a scroll detailing what his route is. Pretty cool! I stumbled across him in a hallway early on, so then I got out of there.
So I've got 3 missions left
After which I'll either hop into Dishonored, go back to Etrian Odyessy 2, or buy The Witness.
Or get hit by a bus
I mean, it's possible.
00:22
@Sterno Oh true
It happens
Yeah I didn't think of that
> Odds of being killed on a 5-mile bus trip: 500,000,000 to 1.
Odds of being killed sometime in the next year in any sort of transportation accident: 77 to 1.
Odds of being killed in any sort of non-transportation accident: 69 to 1.
Odds of being struck by lightning: 576,000 to 1.
Those don't sound accurate

Q: Do Buzz costs ever decrease again?

walrus helmetI'm a few hours in to Project Highrise and I've noticed the Buzz costs for various benefits have gotten astronomically high. Is there any way to decrease these costs, or does it decrease naturally over time?

Q: How do you get the ship targeting system to lock on, specifically target that leads enemy ships?

ColinI recently found a crashed ship that had an extra slot and some better tech installed so I excitedly scrapped all my ship upgrades, transferred my loot and set about repairing the new ship. It was a fairly modest upgrade from 18 slots to 19 but it did have a sweet warp drive sigma installed. I ...

Q: What is the effect of Combat Ranks in Elite Dangerous?

Q: EMPTY MAP ON POKEMON GO

MichealreyI'm using Android 5.1.1. When I'm in rural area, there is no problem with the map, but when I'm in the urban area, most of the time, I experience a blank map, especially in a crowded place like a mall. What should I do to fix this?

@Wipqozn THIEF COMPLETE. The last mission was super dumb.
It's neat for lore reasons but it's not actually fun to play
Yeah. That was true for most of the last half of the game.
And now you have a new eye!
My Thief series ranking is 2 >> 3 > 1
Because yeah, 1 gets annoying.

Q: How to use boost when using the keyboard?

AequitasI discovered that you could use circle (I'm using PS4 controllers) to boost your character when walking in a direction. However I don't have enough controllers so I also use a keyboard but haven't discovered how to boost using that. What is the key to boost using the keyboard?

Q: Is it possible to use multiple keyboards?

AequitasIs it possible to plug in a USB keyboard into my laptop and get two people to use the two keyboards to control two separate players or does the input from keyboards all combine? I'm asking in reference to Overcooked, but I imagine the answer would be the same for a lot of local co-op games.

Q: How To Make Profit with Dragon Raids In C.O.C

I honestly did not expect what just happened
My Galaxy S4 got an actual Android OS update
It's installing right now
It got an update for the first time since 5.0.1 released

@arda I mean, there's more than 1 dutch bank
And I don't know how common ING is anywhere but the netherlands (being, you know, in the netherlands)

Q: Detect flying players in skyblock

@KevinvanderVelden ing entered Turkey market in 2008, and they are very popular here. Well, no bank is very popular, but it is one of the many when you think "Which banks are in Turkey?". Personally, my prepaid cc is from ING.
@arda Mine is from Bpost
it's intended for internet purchases, which is all I'm using it for
Yeah, same
I'll likely switch to bitcoin though. Most the places I buy stuff from accepts it and it is more stable (not really, but it doesn't keep going down) than Turkish lira :p
08:34
@arda cc @LessPop_MoreFizz
He hates bitcoin with a passion :p
@arda hue
bitcoin is a pro much currency
Haha I'd love for a counterpoint before investing $$ to btc. I mean, I only buy stuff from steam and humble bundle online and both accepts it.
Steam accepts bitcoin? o.o
wondering... Why should one give steam his/her payment info (credit card numbers or any other payment method) and not just using prepaid cards?
@KevinvanderVelden yep
08:44
@Derpy recurring stuff
@arda ?
@Derpy monthly payments etc
like a 12month magazine subscription
@arda oh, right, I didn't even consider one could do that. I was just thinking of games.
wow subscription etc
@arda you can pay wow subscription thru steam?
08:48
@arda That's definitely not through steam though.
You can't
There's probably other subscription based stuff on steam though
@Arperum cryengine was afaik - they pulled it from store, lol
Also, my current host needed a CC as I pay at the end of the month (so they could easily lose a lot of money (3eur) if someone abused this with a prepaid), so I couldn't use my prepaid.

BlackBerry

Proposed Q&A site for all BlackBerry smartphone users and products alike.

Currently in definition.

Anyone played the new Phoenix Wright game?
08:52
Well, I guess that some use-cases require for a CC. Can't say I am too fond of those but I can understand the need
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment 5 years too late
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment are there even any Blackberrys still in the wild?
can't even remember seeing one in the past 6/7 years
@sequoiad Had a customer crying because he couldn't access a SharePoint page from his blackberry just last week....
@Derpy Also: convenience.
08:56
@arda wow... did he also have a... damn, all those joke have been made already.
If I had to go charge up a cc every time I wanted to it, that would seriously lower my usage. Because F that timewasting nonsense.
@Arperum Don't know... I kinda see the convenience of NOT giving Sony a credit card number after the past PSN accounts leaks/stealing
@Derpy Nothing is safe if they absolutely want it. that goes for you bank too. Stop trsuting banks and keep your money in a sock taped to your stomach.
@Arperum thinking of it, it might be a good way to not spend money carelessly
Also: live in fear.
@arda I don't. Generally. I don't spend money I can't permit to spend anyway. I'm still saving up, so I'm fine.
08:59
If you are spending money on something that isn't worth walking to the closest atm, then it is likely not worth it.
💡
@arda The thing is that charging up a prepaid cc is more work than walking to wherever the fuck I store my cc.
If I want to buy a bunch of festival tickets for a group I don't want to first have to go charge the card with ~€400 or something.
And having it charged for that much from before would kinda waste the reason you have a prepaid cc anyway.
So, is there anything good out for the xbone now a days? There's a 500gb version + kinect + 2 games for 230
@KevinvanderVelden Are you building a wall of random electronics in your house?
@Arperum so, basically.. Since nothing is secure, I should increase the attack surface by giving out the info to the max number of parties (that have been show utterly incapable of keeping them secure in the past - clear text password storage anyone???) because if I don't then I must surely store my money under my bed? Nice hyperbole
09:08
@Arperum I mean, if I wanted to do that I could
But that's not generally what I buy things for
@Derpy Under your bed sounds dangerous :p I was indeed hyperboling. I'm not going to stop you from doing things the way you want. I'm going to just keep using the existing mechanisms that exist to counter eventual stolen data. (I check my cc payments rather detailed, and if I don't know immideately what one is I search until I found it. If not that would result in informing bank and blocking of card.
@KevinvanderVelden In that case: I can't help you.
@KevinvanderVelden what if Mexico was paying for it
@badp if mexico was paying me to get a xbone I'd do it
@Derpy Honestly, you're overestimating how big of a deal credit card number theft is. As Arperum said, if your credit card gets compromised, it's easy to check your statements and contact your bank in case of malfeasance. Hell, many banks have credit card monitoring included in their CC service
Apparently a 16 year old kid from Belgium won the paralympics tabletennis. Without ever losing a single set...
He smashed up everyone with a 3-0 match.
09:16
@Arperum That's just one of our tabletennisers. We had another one in a different category who also made it to the finals
@Nzall I generally don't follow any sports. I just noticed this specific story. and him being 16 and godsmacking everyone was something I found rather impressive.
@Arperum At 2 AM tomorrow, Florian Van Acker will play his final.
@Nzall Fancy
(I'm not going to watch or care much though)
@badp 10/10 movie choice
@Arperum I'm not going to watch either, but I have to say that Rio 2016 has been amazing for Belgium. We won 6 medals in the normal olympics, including 2 gold medals. We only managed that once before in post-war Olympics. And now in the Paralympics, we already got 2 medals and are certain of a 3rd.
09:29
@fredley naturallement
BTW, how is licensing handled for the Movie Night? Or are we just going to ignore the "no public broadcasting" rule of copyright law?
You must have the legal right to watch the content, wherever you are.
Movie Night™ does not support piracy
@fredley That's the problem: Netflix is behind the times in Belgium.
So if I want to watch Captain America, you're saying I can't?
@badp whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
@Nzall In that case, you'll have to buy the DVD, or import it from Italy
Because the only movie that's going to win is Italian Spiderman
This should be your only concern
09:34
@fredley nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
downvotes italian spiderman
ACTIONE
TERRORE
SUSPENSO
DONGLES
APPLE.
downvotes italian @badp
4
@fredley In that case, I'm unlikely to visit the Movie Night anyway
you guys are just being snobbish
@Nzall We use rabb.it. So everyone watches the same thing. For netflix this results in US netflix (since Rabb.it servers are in the US, even with a NL account you'll see the US content listed)
09:36
I'm sure that if it had been The Flemijsh Spijderman you'd have been all over it
Also we don't go in your home and check
@badp nope nope nope nope nope nope etc
@badp We'd probably been running away even harder than you.
@badp D'Vloamse Spinhoer
Speaking of things to run away from:
@Nzall what made you think the Italian Spiderman involves actual Italian
09:38
Although Spinhoer is rarely used for spider these days
@Nzall Flemish is weird
@badp It invested all of its actual in getting actual Spiderman, after all
@badp The fact that it's an Italian movie, with Italian actors, with a spiderman with a fat Italian Pornstache and the movie is literally called Italian Spiderman
@Nzall I've never heard that word.
6 secs ago, by Arperum
@Nzall I've never heard that word.
@Nzall you are wrong on at least one factor
09:40
@Arperum I googled. It's a thing
It's also an old thing
the movie was made in Australia
I also wouldn't be certain about the actors actually being Italian
@KevinvanderVelden It literally translated to English as spider whore.
but here I am explaining the joke to you weeks before you watch the movie
such sadness
09:41
@Nzall I'm aware, I do speak dutch you know =p (being born in dutchlandia and living there and all)
@Nzall So apparently mostly Kempish/Limburg area stuff.
@badp One would assume that a person with a name like "Franco Franchetti" is an Italian
@Nzall stage names are a thing you know.
@badp Don't only porn actors use those?
also a thing: people born abroad from Italian families
09:42
@Nzall no
@Nzall Lol.
@arda AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. You changed again.
@arda keep changing. It scares and confuses @Arperum
@Arperum yes. Finally. Took 12 hours.
You see, I'm no longer sad and depressed. I'm now happy and depressed. Wanted to make my image represent that.
ALso: when talking about old dialect words I prefer Boterschijter. Which is the perfect word for a butterfly.
Can't find sources right now though.
Solve math questions, earn money for unicef: unicefusa.org/math-quiz
09:45
@Arperum literal translation for English people: Buttershitter.
@Nzall Yup.
@Arperum Also, since we're talking about butterflies
That's quite the German cliche of being an angry sounding language :p
> You must be a math genius!
@Nzall That is.... if your country is worth to be considered a civilized one. Sadly, I am not sure mine is. Never had problems myself, but I do know people that had (credit cards, not debit) - and the process wasn't exactly "One day telephone call"
09:56
@Arperum same, that was easy
@Derpy And that's a shame. but for most people disputing transactions and getting your card reissued isn't that big a deal
how the hell did italian spiderman get 4 downvotes?
*downvotes
I don't know there's a lot of downvoting going on
@badp fixed^TM
@arda Isn't that mod abuse? Like, you say something a mod doesn't like, he suggests a correction and you just act in his best interest to avoid getting flagged?
09:57
personally the idea of another superheroes movie after the last one doesn't particularly excite me
I downvoted Italian Spiderman because it's too short
@arda because it got 4 upvotes
@Nzall erm, what?
@Nzall Only real modabuse in chat is suspension
@badp pointed out a spelling mistake, @arda fixed it with the edit feature
@KevinvanderVelden maybe mod abuse is not really the right term, but I do get a feeling of slight unethicality
09:58
Who ever said anything about flagging?
@Nzall ... POINTING OUT A SPELLING MISTAKE IS NOT UNETHICAL
He didn't fix a spelling mistake, he changed the entire mood of his message
I mean, this was kinda modabuseish:
Aug 9 at 17:11, by arda
Jul 25 at 21:17, by arda
Jul 15 at 2:13, by Unionhawk
HONESTY AND MOD LOVE
@Nzall yes, there was a typo in the mood of the message
Before, it was "why is Italian Spiderman being approved of?", and after, it's "Why is Italian Spiderman being hated?"
since Italian Spiderman is very obviously the very best choice
and this is simply a fact
for more information please reread
@Nzall well, it was a non-serious message anyways, so I wasn't sure if I should have said upvotes or downvotes. I went with upvotes but considering I did upvote, it was kinda weird, so I decided to listen to badps response
or recalibrate your humour transceivers
before I have to explain another joke
@badp I disagree, because having only a 40 minute video for a group activity is just too short
10:01
I know I know. We shall simply watch the Italian Spiderman, followed by the Italian Spiderman, for a total of 80 minutes.
Captain America is over 2 hours, that's something you can say "I'm going to get out the popcorn".
@Nzall I agree, and it will likely not win, so I upvo- DAMMIT I FEEL LIKE BREXIT VOTERS
I think we should make a break-away movie night group where we watch Italian Spiderman all night every night for eternity
@fredley hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
also, did I mention? they have made ten shorts after the main movie. though they end rather abruptly and I have no idea how good or GOOD they are.
I haven't watched them at any rate
so if your problem is length, length is not your problem.
3
I think your problem is wanting to whip out the popcorn
sounds unhealthy
I'd start there
@fredley pls, suggest a popcorn substitute
Hope movie night doesn't land on 15th
10:07
@badp carrots
(I'll be on istanbul for an Hour of Code we are organizing and movie night is at 3am for me)
They're also crunchy
but meh, worst case I don't attend in movie night.
@badp Densely packed spiders
@fredley I'm now actually wondering if the pressure at which densely packed spiders would be wouldn't turn them into a liquid state
perhaps plasma would be more like it
@fredley pls, investigate
10:11
ooooh, so this scene is from italian spiderman...
@arda As if there weren't already enough reasons to upvote it
@arda yes of course.
Can I bounty a meta answer?
bounties are not an accepted form of modrater bribery
10:13
@badp I don't think there's enough liquid in a spider for dense spiders to be properly liquid. Possibly a paste or emulsion.
Densely packed spiders, on toast
> Probably the funniest part is that if you read the lips, the actors are speaking in English, and then dubbed over in Italian, and then subtitled back over in English
This sounds like a terrible movie
*terrific
@badp what payment methods are allowed?
@badp TERRIBLE
10:16
@KevinvanderVelden *TERRIFIC
> 2. (archaic) causing terror. "his body presented a terrific emblem of death"
as you can see I am not wrong
you are terrorized at the mere thought of how great this movie actually is. your brain freezes and refuses to compute.

Q: is there a different master crafting bonus gained from differarerant forges?

Ian bloodbathHello I am very curious to know if the master crafted bonuses you receive at the forges across the land if they vary. Not just by certain equipment tier bonuses, but if it has anything to do with the Forge itself... If anybody has any knowledge towards this endeavor, I would greatly appreciate it...

hmmm, anyone know a good stackex or stackov place to put questions about the recent linux-based powershell and exchange?
@sequoiad unixlinux/askubuntu/superuser for powershell, serverfault for exchange
10:40
@arda ta, it's about the exchange plug-in for powershell though that you need for office365, and afaik doesnt exist for the linux version, so I'm not sure where to put it.
hmm

Gamedev.se has 62 queued close votes
I can't recall the last time I've seen arqades counter at 2 digits
are you saying that we close things too quickly?
I think you're saying that we close things too quickly
Nope, I'm saying the 3K+ rep people at gamedev.se are lazy
(I have 2666 rep, wtb more rep so I can closevote things)
(Poor mods)
I pretty much ignore the review queues :P
@badp I think he's saying we don't close nearly enough questions.
I bet if we tried really hard we could get arcade's queue up to 70
@KutuluMike that would occasionally lead to short bursts of things to review
10:58
how would that help get the queue number up?
I'm not seeing it.
@badp you can, because you have a bunch of 3k+ people that pounce on that stuff. Most questions on GDSE that are closed are closed by one or two people
i.e. by a mod or by one 3k+er and a mod
@KevinvanderVelden I do, not because I can, but because I must, or I'd get involved in eleventy bajillion arguments
or, we just wait until the next PoGo patch causes everyones client to break
Even then mods don't solo-close most of the things =p
mod solo-closing is the second worst thing
after mod solo-reopening
11:02
@fredley Wait, isn't the worst mod thing @Wipqozn?
if a mod creates a stupid question, them solo-closes it, then solo-reopens, is that mod abuse cubed?
@sequoiad That's @Wipqozn level modabuse right there
@fredley that is true
modabuse³
11:20
@sequoiad Asking a stupid question is clearly noty mod-only territory. Solo-closing of the stupid question would not be abuse. Solo-reopening would be.

Q: PS4 preorder automatically cancelled but is a pending payment

That then cancelled the preorder but my PayPal account says that the transaction is pending. If I leave it alone, will I still get the preorder? Can I log back ...
