It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.

Tweeted by realDonaldTrump on October 11, 2016 at 2:00 PM

Well that's extremely terrifying

Yuuki

Notably the fact that Trump thinks he's been acting with shackles on.

Sterno

14:05

@TimStone He's just saying that he's now ready to respect the hell out of us

I miss the conspiracy theory that Trump was actually going to be moderate and was just putting on a show to win the Republican primary.

@StrixVaria Those were way less bad times

@Sterno Right?

Sterno

@fredley is in a lose-lose situation here with Trump

Which I guess means I'm in a win-win situation!

@Unionhawk i prefer the DBZ Abridged version

MBraedley

@Sterno Does it? Does it really?

Wipqozn

@Sterno yay!...I...think...wait no

@Sterno He still came way closer then he should have though!

Although given all the recent polls I'm confident he'll lose

I suspect we'll see his support stay where it is, poll wise, since I think his most ardent supporters are literally insane and never changing thier minds

also the ones that are just "I only ever vote for tihs party, policies be damned"

Unionhawk

Polls-plus says 20%

Yuuki

14:13

Clinton is apparently releasing a bunch of ads with Republicans saying they're voting for her, so we have a week or so to see how that plays out.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Poor bastard. I can't believe I inflicted you with that.

Hopefully by starring it others will suffer too

Unionhawk

@Yuuki I kind of wonder how many voters are of the "Paul Ryan ditched Trump, so as punishment I will vote trump and ignore the rest of the ballot" variety

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk And the now-cast is approaching the single-digits barrier. We're still waiting on all the polls that take into account the tape drop last Friday too

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn tempted to cancel suffering

Wipqozn

Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!

Tweeted by realDonaldTrump on October 11, 2016 at 12:16 PM

Unionhawk

14:15

Everybody knows the Clinton Crime Network (CNN) can't be trusted

Yes that's a Thing Trump Supporters Have Been Tweeting

I'm not sure they notice the acronyms don't even line up there

Wipqozn

I doubt it, because they're dumb

Like honestly. I don't get it.

Trump just straight up lies, all the time, and his supporters buy it.

It's horrifying to think there's this many stupid and horrible people in the world

Unionhawk

Yes

Wipqozn

WE WERE ALWAYS AT WAR WITH EAST ASIA

Unionhawk

He won the DRUDGE poll before the debate by a margin of 90%

online poll

Wipqozn

Of course he did

Trump supporters are a good example of why some people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Also that democracy has a lot of problems.

Unionhawk

14:18

I've only seen two scientific "who won" polls, both said Clinton but not by a blowout this time

I assume there's one that says trump by a small margin

@Unionhawk Maybe I'm doing it wrong, because I don't see the appeal taste-wise.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Honestly if you don't need coffee, then don't drink it. Just go to bed at reasonable hours.

StrixVaria

I tried coffee again recently to see if my hatred for it changed. It tasted like ass and gave me a headache.

Sconibulus

@Yuuki The ability to put cream and sugar into it, it makes it like chocolate

Unionhawk

Like "Clinton News Network" was kind of clever, but this time you just look stupid

@Sconibulus Cream and sugar is for quitters

And people who don't like black coffee

Yuuki

14:20

@Wipqozn It was mostly that CGPGrey video that got me interested.

Wipqozn

If you ever have those nights where you don't get ny sleep and need something to wake you up yeah grab a cup of coffee, but don't become addicted to it like so many other people do. Coffee isn't an adequate replacement for a good nights sleep.

Sconibulus

Isn't CNN like... the righter of the ostensibly non-partisan networks?

StrixVaria

@Yuuki That is also why I tried coffee again.

Yuuki

@Sconibulus Well, I dunno how much to put in. And our workplace has big shakers so "two sugars" isn't a very helpful descriptor.

Unionhawk

@Sconibulus No

@Yuuki This is the main reason why I just started doing black coffee

Kevin van der Velden

14:22

@Yuuki I honestly have no idea, I just stick with delicious delicious tea

Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever

When I need caffeine I just get a French Vanilla

Sconibulus

oh, wait, that's CBS isn't it, CNN is the middle one

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn You monster

Kevin van der Velden

14:22

@Sconibulus we invented something for that, it's called chocolate

Wipqozn

He also says the only downside to it is the addiction, iirc. Imo addiction is enough of a downside.

Unionhawk

@MBraedley Coffee is awesome, therefore coffee is awesome, QED

PROOF SIMPLIFIED

Wipqozn

I don't want to be addicted to anything. Except Chocolate Milk.

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley I can't really argue with that logic... but it's still wrong somehow

Wipqozn

Actually I don't drink much chocolate milk anymore because reasons. Delicious, delicious chocolate milk. I used to have like 500ml for breakfast everyday. now it's just a treat.

Unionhawk

14:23

I mean if you're going to have a caffeine addiction coffee is probably the healthiest way to do it

Yuuki

I just don't want to put so much sweetener and cream that it becomes a diabetic mess.

And it doesn't seem like the taste is manageable without extreme amounts of diabetes.

Unionhawk

Now I want to get coffee after class, but if and only if I don't have to suffer through some nonsense caramel blend like I did last time I got campus coffee

In fact no I'm just going to make coffee like a real adult with a coffee maker

Gorp

@Wipqozn Everybody knows strawberry milk is the best flavour of milk

Unionhawk

Thanks @Wipqozn

StrixVaria

@MBraedley What if CGPGrey was owned by the coffee conglomerates all along and put out years and years of amazing videos just to get people in the mindset to believe him when it really mattered?

Private Pansy

14:26

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk /yeah but you could also just not have a caffeine addiciton

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn I don't, I just like coffee

Private Pansy

Generally speaking if I need to keep awake I usually grab the most disgusting coffee on campus, which just conveniently happens to be next to our faculty

Unionhawk

I don't wake up early enough to have a caffeine addiction since I don't have time to make coffee

Just enough time to put pants on, laptop in bag, and walk to class, basically

@Yuuki Of course, I saw one yesterday where a woman was comparing Trump to her autistic son, so that was kinda weird

@Wipqozn There's a good number of people who enjoy being terrible. There's also a lot of people who live in a bubble informed by those terrible people

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Please don't. That's how you get more Trump supporters.

My mom got some Very Republican friends and they say insane shit convincingly and she believes it to be true because she works a lot and doesn't enjoy watching the news or anything like that

Hmm... instead of saying "Object.prototype is how we do inheritance", perhaps you should say "Object.prototype is how you mark methods to be inherited". That's a lot more clear and requires less 'I'm going to look this up in the blagosphere because I don't understand this code'.

@Wipqozn You're on quite the horror game kick, aren't you?

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden You can tell that it's a liquid, because if it's not in a cup, it's everywhere

Yuuki

@fredley Well, I can tell you that's true. I think there are three Starbucks on this street block.

fredley

@Yuuki Starbucks is barely coffee

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley it's a suspension, duh

INB4 mod abuse

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden I'LL SUSPEND YOU IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL

Kevin van der Velden

14:54

I INB4d you

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden A suspension is a liquid though, so you're still wrong

Kevin van der Velden

Well the water is a liquid, it's just contaminated by... stuff

Horrible, foul, icky stuff

Private Pansy

The "suspension" refers to the solid state stuff. It doesn't really matter what the liquid is

Kevin van der Velden

I don't think you typically make coffee in, say, mercury

Private Pansy

But you can if you try. It's not as if you can make coffee worse than it is already

Kevin van der Velden

14:58

Though I'd pay money to see someone make coffee from alcohol instead of water

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden I think FourLoko is that but with Red Bull instead of coffee.

It's also illegal in few states because medical emergencies.

Stimulant + depressant = Bad Idea(tm)

Kevin van der Velden

Still mostly water, I'm talking about swapping H2O with C2H6O

So instead of, say, sending pressurized water vapor through beans to get coffee, you send pressurized ethanol vapor through it

Arperum

This silverlight project takes forever to build. I suddenly understand the time estimation. (Yes, we're working on getting it deprecated)

Kevin van der Velden

The boiling point is even 20 degrees lower than water, that should work fine

I mean sure it has a flash point of 12 degrees. But that's fine

Yuuki

Please don't make me search "making coffee with alcohol". I just got this job.

Kevin van der Velden

Can't find anything, but you can make alcohol from fermented coffee beans

And of course there's plenty of coffee variation with booze added

Thank god the breakroom has tea. That's much better.

Although I think I'll start bringing my own leaves.

Teabags, eurgh.

Kevin van der Velden

I'm one of those lazy people that is fine with tea bags

Yuuki

Tea bags are fine, especially compared to coffee taste. But tea leaves are just better.

Yes, leaves are bit more annoying to deal with, but you can get a lot of labor-saving stuff.

Kevin van der Velden

Do you make a pot at a time or?

Yuuki

15:16

Like we have a thing that I would best describe as a cup-in-a-cup.

The inner cup, where you put the leaves, also has tiny slits and holes for the tea to escape.

When you're done brewing, just remove the inner cup and you have tea without the leaves.

Kevin van der Velden

I know the thing yes

Yuuki

Brewing by the pot is best if you have a group of people. Otherwise, I brew cup by cup.

If you don't want to boil water over and over again, there are giant thermoses that you can use to store hot water.

Kevin van der Velden

I have one for that reason =p

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk so chug it really quick

Yuuki

@Unionhawk If you're attending class and you're not either hungover or partially drunk, you're not an actual college student.

Speaking of alcohol, I had never really understood wine fanatics until I had a glass of the more expensive wine when my family had a celebratory dinner at a fancy steakhouse.

That stuff was really smooth.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki I was trying to make a your mom joke in reply to some message you made but mobile chat is mobile chat and so I lost the message location.

@Yuuki white wine is acceptable, red however is just horrific

@sequoiad The thing is, I had a red wine. And it was fantastic.

Unionhawk

I enjoy red wine

GodEmperorDune

@sequoiad when its a fancy bottle, either one is great

and that food pairing stuff is legit too

MBraedley

I enjoy wine on rare occasions. Mostly weddings.

sequoiad

granted I've never had the expensive stuff, but cheap white wine I've always found better than cheap red

GodEmperorDune

i had fancy red wine, then ate some chicken and the wine tasted awful

Yuuki

15:43

@sequoiad That's because red wine has more tannins and therefore cheap red is more bitter.

OKAY, PANIC.

@MBraedley at usually $10 per 6 vs $10 a bottle (for decent stuff) beer is more cost effective

@Unionhawk Man, I wish I could get 6 beers for $10. Even $12.50, which is closer to the current exchange rate.

Mind you, a 6-pack is still about the same as a bottle of wine.

yeah @Fluttershy i think you are doin it wrong

Frank

@Fluttershy Agreed. Guiness is crap.

Yuuki

16:13

I know this is pretty basic, but I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. Base.prototype.methodname = function(){...} means that the method is defined as whatever the function does and also marks it to be inherited whenever another class does Extended.prototype = new Base();.

So Extended.methodname() will inherit the aforementioned function(){...}.

Fluttershy

@GodEmperorDune When it comes to beer, I do no wrong. Other than drink Coors Light when I drink at parties because it's cheaper than drinking something more pallette friendly. Guinness is shit.

Yuuki

No wait, if you want to call inherited methods, you would do Extended.prototype.methodname()?

Private Pansy

@Yuuki No need

If methodname does not exist in Extended, the engine will look up the prototype chain until it reaches Object for methodname
