/r/WritingPrompts: "everyone gets superpowers based on their strongest emotion, your power is derived from you being incredibly sassy". Since when was "sassy" an emotion?

@Yuuki "I'm feeling fat, and sassy"

If it's something you feel, it's an emotion

Q: Clan chest drops

So, I have some questions about the clan chest in Clash Royale: Does the clan chest have the same chance of containing legendary cards as other chests (chance/card)? How many cards does every clan chest level contain? How many crowns does each crown chest level take to obtain? Do the clan membe...

I feel several swatches of silk. Is "several swatches of silk" an emotion now?

@Yuuki That cat looks like it's feeling so sassy

4:45 PM

@Yuuki GET HYPE

What's hype called when it's negative?

Dread?

Yes

Just think, it could be worse!

> If computer drives store information using 0's and 1's, why don't we add 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's... to store more data?

I mean, surely it could be worse right?

Right?

Doesn't look like it

4:47 PM

@Yuuki 0101/0111 trolling

@Unionhawk I'm actually trying to think of a way it could be worse

I mean, Fred Phelps could be being inaugurated, and that'd be worse I guess

@fredley Yeah, imagine if Obama got a third term? According to my part of the world, that'd be the literal Apocalypse.

@fredley Reality says hold my beer

Let me say this. The last time Rs had the trifecta, and announced spending cuts was 1920s

@Unionhawk The Roaring Twenties? The decade that was famously known as "The Party That Never Ended"?

That's what made the Thirties so great too, just more Twenties!

@Yuuki The 1% had so much money that was so concentrated they had loads of money to party. Everyone else though...

@Yuuki Gatsby was so Great

Q: In ACNL (Animal Crossing New Leaf) How Do I MAKE A QR Code?

Do you have to print it off of a computer, how do you get it on the computer? i know how to scan one, i just can't seem to MAKE one!

animal-crossing-new-leaf

@Yuuki We're on track to potentially see a centennial edition of the shit that happened after yes.

But who knows

We'll see

Oh hey, the Twenties and the Great Depression were also preceded by this:

The Panic of 1893 was a serious economic depression in the United States that began in 1893 and ended in 1897. It deeply affected every sector of the economy, and produced political upheaval that led to the 1896 realigning election and the Presidency of William McKinley. == Causes == One of the causes for the panic of 1893 can be traced back to Argentina. Investment was encouraged by the Argentine agent bank, Baring Brothers. However, the failure of the 1890 wheat crop and a coup in Buenos Aires ended further investments. Because European investors were concerned that these problems might spread...

He'll get impeached or bored within a year, you get Pence, and apart from women, gays, atheists, muslims etc., everyone does ok.

So I guess the 2008 market collapse is the Panic of 1893 in this analogy?

4:55 PM

@fredley Discriminatory laws are a little more feasible to push back against versus varying levels of impulsiveness and incompetence, at least

Yeah

@TimStone Yeah, American society is somewhat set up to push back against Government in this scenario. A rampaging lunatic, less so.

And we'd be dealing more with a traditional politician in that "the lies are based on some fact"

Our first mistake was diluting the impact of "[X] is literally Hitler"

Yes

I mean to be fair only Hitler is literally Hitler

and he dead

last I checked

I haven't checked lately though

4:57 PM

@fredley Yeah, even with a stacked SCOTUS (if it were to happen) the federal courts system could tie up most things for a decent chunk of time. Nothing quite like that to stop nuclear war

@TimStone Does the President need legal authority? I thought he could literally push the button at a whim if he so desired...

Right, he can

Assuming he remembers where on the card the valid launch codes are

We can push back against discrimination, but not against "the president has launched a nuclear weapon"

@TimStone explain?

@Unionhawk It's ok, Russia will push back against that for you

youtube.com/shared?ci=M0UYtMY8aaM

5:00 PM

The authorization codes are located on a sealed card that's broken open in the event of a launch order, and as an additional deterrent to misuse the President is briefed on the location of valid codes, with the other codes on the card being dummy codes

@fredley I'm pretty sure that's not how it works

Oh good, @fredley swapped back before talking serious stuff.

@GnomeSlice As commander in chief, the President has unlimited authority to launch nuclear weapons.

@GnomeSlice I thought it was though - in the event of a first strike against the US, I thought the President retained the ability to launch a counterstrike, even if the apparatus of US Government has been turned to ash...

There's more than just a single button, but he can make the order by himself

5:01 PM

@TimStone So the person who printed the card also knows the location of the code?

I wonder if the nuke operators would actually launch though

@fredley I'm not sure how that works! The codes are provided by the NSA

@fredley If they don't they'd be disobeying an order from the President and face court martial and dishonorable discharge

Someone doing that in Russia did stop WWIII though.

They didn't disobey the order to launch though, just determined that the notification of a US launch was incorrect

@Unionhawk I mean

5:04 PM

@Wipqozn I guess Long War 2 is out now?

Actuslly no

lol

@fredley Right, and mutually assured destruction relies on the belief that both sides can react before targets are hit

I dontwant that indexed

If Petrov had followed his orders he should have fired ze missiles

5:05 PM

It was a more complex order than just "launch" but it's still an order.

So the chain of confirmation is really short to ensure a rapid response time

Well hopefully we won't find out

But I have a bad feeling we might

Not against a nuclear power, probably, but, we'll see

slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/gist/2016/10/…

We'll see

Maybe

Hopefully not

I think trying to predict donald trump in things other than "will tweet about how awful SNL was" is a fools errand

5:21 PM

@GnomeSlice Jill Stein thinks a lot of things.

That's also true

Also, didn't you (or was that someone else) call out Stein as a Clinton shill trying to get recounts or something?

I dying tub I've ever used the word shill in a sentence

don't think

and no i dont think that either so

@Yuuki It was that axelrod chap

@TimStone What a character that person was.

5:26 PM

Random "Huh" of the day

> Perhaps the real Mulberry Tree was the adventure I had along the way?

Perhaps the real Mulberry Tree is the friends we have with us.

Or at least the ones that stayed with us despite showing clear signs of insanity throughout this venture.

@Yuuki I just saw that hedgehog thing you linked to me earlier. It was adorable and fantastic.

ugggh i need to go to the doctor but I don't want to

user15026

@TimStone I don't know if I love that there isn't an answer or of that really frustrates me.

I'm pretty sure i know what the answers gonna be

user15026

You should go. Then you know for sure.

what tf happens if it's yes, nobody's gonna wanna sleep with me for starters

user15026

5:45 PM

@GnomeSlice then you deal with it. Not knowing isn't good, it means you could be passing it along to other people.

@Ash this times one million

Already let one person know and she's clean

user15026

It's not the end of the world even if it feels that way.

the other one I'm not sure what to do

user15026

@GnomeSlice that's good, but it doesn't guarantee anything. You need to get tested.

5:46 PM

yeah i know

plus i think there are medications that help with some of the symptoms, you should probably get on those if you have it

I don't have any symptoms

although I think I may have had some a while back which i just thought of FUCK

why does my life have to be such a shambles

6:02 PM

garlic bread memes is one of the dumbest things on the internet

@GnomeSlice just get tested. If you try to diagnose yourself you'll be convinced you have 3 weeks to live. That's a meme and everything.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk but garlic bread is one of the greatest things in real life

So it all balances out

That's true

Getting tested results in not having to worry or knowing exactly what to worry about.

6:17 PM

@Unionhawk "X is the dumbest thing on Y" is the one of the dumbest things on the Internnet.

I will definitely have to worry

but only sort of

Calm down, he only did real estate business in 2008-9

gave out mortgages and aggressively foreclosed

You know, pretty standard stuff guys

(Mnuchin is incidentally the most meh of the noms, to me)

6:27 PM

@Unionhawk meh as in uncontroversial or meh as in "another goldman guy in a long list of goldman guys"

@GnomeSlice By not getting tested, you're ignoring the possibility of not having to worry, and instead causing even further worry.

@GodEmperorDune meh as in "compared to Jeff Sessions and literally everyone else..."

It's not my fault that the President Elect hand crafted a list of only concerning nominations

@Unionhawk nikki haley is not bad either

and zinke i am still cautiously optimistic on

Ok, then it's not my fault that the list of concerning noms is very long

Kevin van der Velden

@GodEmperorDune googles who that is Oh hey, one of the pictures google immediately shows is her in front of a confederate flag

6:30 PM

I wonder if people knew, when he said "Drain the swamp," he was actually planning on turning the swamp into a cesspool...

@KevinvanderVelden south carolina yo

but seriously she supported taking the flag down after the charleston church shooting

cnn.com/2015/07/10/politics/…

Kevin van der Velden

@GodEmperorDune apparently, so that's good

@KevinvanderVelden garlic bread is delicious

@Wipqozn how about garlic brexit?

That's not fredley

And hasn't been fredley for like 4 hours

Kevin van der Velden

6:32 PM

Oh good, the madness is returning to normal levels

Well. That certainly was a flag.

Kevin van der Velden

Lol @ flag

I said "Lol @ flag" before you but the message timed out >:(

I didn't even know you could flag that message

@Unionhawk the only fair thing to do here is to flip a coin before i mention @Wipqozn or @fredley

since it's automated and an audit message

In fact I don't think I can self delete them

Kevin van der Velden

6:34 PM

Ooh chat errorerered

user15026

Deletion is different than flaggability though

That's true I guess

Since you definitely cannot delete a timeout message (I mean I assume mods can but I'm not allowed to do it)

user15026

well, yeah, I can see why they'd not want to let non-mods delete those sorts of things

@KevinvanderVelden Wait wat

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk I got this page and everything: chat.stackexchange.com/error?aspxerrorpath=/rooms/35/the-bridge

6:42 PM

I am not confident in that cat's ability to work on my problemz

Mittens is an MSCE you insensitive clod.

He went to technical school and has a certificate.

Kevin van der Velden

But how can they type with mittens on?

@MadMAxJr I mean my problemz in general

My technical problemz maybe

Mittens cannot help you with life issues, no.

But he can do ASPX errors.

Mittens suggests maybe you run the can opener for a bit then take a nap in a warm sunbeam.

this is not how sorting works infragistics

why are you doing this to me

Q: Why is there no redstone signal from my command block using /testfor?

If I have a command block that is repeating, unconditional, always active with the command /testfor @p[r=5] and I approach it, then why will not the redstone dust beside it be powered?

@ash last night i realized that you can replace "hamilton" with "@wipqozn" in most of the songs and the still work but are so much worse. I can't unhear it now.

user15026

@GodEmperorDune oh man it would totally work

user15026

Crap now my brain is sticking him into Guns and Ships

7:06 PM

@Ash yeah that's where it hit me too

Kevin van der Velden

I don't know how they've managed it, but I just got tears in my eyes from laughing at an ad in the co-optional podcast

...

It was never sorting on this column at all

I don't think

Kevin van der Velden

Good job @Uni! It wasn't broken it just didn't do anything

That's way better

@KevinvanderVelden It looks like it's going in the order I added things to the thing

Yeah, 100%

huh

ok

now what

I wonder...

nope, damn

@KevinvanderVelden Sounds like a good ad.

Kevin van der Velden

7:13 PM

@Arperum yes, I mean I don't need squarespace so it's wasted but it was a good ad

@Unionhawk You're sorting using a database right?

It's been using infragistics sorting to display to the user based on info in memory

I feel like @Unionhawk needs to show us the code so we can point out the mistake and all have a hearty laugh

This isn't my code, and that's not possible

7:15 PM

IT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO LAUGH. DON'T TAKE THAT FROM ME

Oh nevermind, I thought maybe it was sorting by key then.

It has been sorting based on the desired field being a string

so, 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 20 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Ah, well that sucks.

so I'm trying to tell it that no it's actually a number

and nothing I've tried on that has worked

Is the underlying type an int?

7:18 PM

Yeah

Kevin van der Velden

Did you try telling it to not be stupid

I did

I think I maybe once worked with infrogistics stuff, don't they heve some sort of "use this formatter/searchthing" option thing

But I did find out I've been chasing a false lead now so

or am I completely worng?

user15026

7:20 PM

@GodEmperorDune For extra fun, @Wipqozn can also scan to A dot Ham (or A dot Burr) so Your Obedient Servant also gets good

@Arperum I dunno, it looks like you can define a sortcomparer, but I haven't figured out how to do that

@Ash oooooh

@Unionhawk grid.Columns[column].SortComparer = new MySortComparer() or something?

Something like that, except none of the documentation for implementing IComparer matches what Visual Studio wants

so /shrug

calls shenanigans

7:23 PM

This is a priority 5-suggestion item that my team lead gave me to get me looking at the code behind some of this stuff

I assume the scale is properly sorted and priority 5 means it's "low"

Yes

Actually I lied it's a 3-normal

It should sort right if the data behind the column is an int

Maybe it has a SortStyle of lolwtf

Or the backing value list does some shenanigans too

Who knows

@Unionhawk "Here, take a look at how our code works so you can help us later on. getoutwhileyoustillcanflyyoufool"

7:34 PM

so when is this inauguration?

tomorrow yeah

@BlueBarren Tomorrow.

but I mean what time

Some time

@BlueBarren Within the next 36 hours.

Don't worry, day 1 will be monday

7:35 PM

do they not actually have a time specified?

They have the time, they have the best time. It's a terrific time, I'm telling you.

I mean I assume someone knows

When someone drops a banana in front of your racekart.

@Fluttershy the plan is to get treated as soon as possible

this is so fuct

Okay, actually watched the Power Rangers trailer over lunch break.

This might not actually suck as much as the first trailer hinted.

There is noticeably larger amounts of camp in the second half of the trailer.

And it is great.

I want Lord Zedd to appear and I want him to look exactly the same.

Like no CGI or anything, just the same rubber suit and makeup.

Not gonna happen bro

7:54 PM

Yeah, but it'd be pretty hilarious.

I do wonder if they're going to have Green Ranger in a post-credits stinger or something.

And it'd be hilarious if they just cast Jason David Frank.
