If this guy bought at asking price

which he didn't

and sells at asking price

which he won't

That's a 63% YoY investment

not even cocaine nets you that much

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden The problem is that a popping bubble usually means a popping economy as well

Kevin van der Velden

Alternatively you could control the market and slow it down so it doesn't pop but decreases gradually

Nzall

cfr. Dotcom bubble, mortgage bubble, 16th century Tulips

Kevin van der Velden

Which is hard but doable

Aah the tulip bubble, that's a thing that happened

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden Do you think the Belgian or Dutch governments are competent enough to do that?

Kevin van der Velden

10:10

I 'unno, why not

badp

@KevinvanderVelden all I'm saying is I'm not giving this dirtbag 63% YoY

Nzall

We'll see

Quick question: anyone here from France?

badp

there was one French person that used to be around at some point, ever

Nzall

Doesn't seem like it

badp

but there might be additional closet Frenchies

@MattE.Эллен seems like the kind of person who'd rather not admit to frenchness.

Nzall

10:12

Because the French elections are looking more and more like we might have another far right victory

badp

@Nzall can Le Pen win without the second round of voting?

Kevin van der Velden

@M'vy doesn't autocomplete anymore

Matt E. Эллен

I'm a mongrel me. I don't know if there's any Frenchness in me, though.

badp

people are thinking... hoping? that Le Pen will get destroyed in the second round.

Nzall

I mean, out of the 3 major parties, one wants to quit the EU, one has their candidate involved in a massive corruption and fraud scandal, and the last one has the ghost from the Hollande government hovering over his shoulder

And what's also funny is that the Dutch elections have 31 different parties coming out

or something ridiculous like that

Kevin van der Velden

10:16

28

Nzall

yeah, something ridiculous

Kevin van der Velden

In the actual election, there were 31 parties to start but "only" 28 had a valid candidate list

Nzall

I know that the Dutch don't have an election treshold, but still

Kevin van der Velden

Only 16 of those are nationwide, the rest is only in certain regions

Nzall

I see

Still, 16 parties for a country which is fairly uniform in population is a lot

I mean, that's as many as Belgium has, and we got 9 different governments

Kevin van der Velden

10:20

(we have 20 regions, 4 parties electable in 19, 1 in 18, 2 in 16, 1 in 15 and then some stragglers)

Also apparently there's a party called "JESUS LIVES" which you could vote for in 7 regions

And yes, before you ask, the name is indeed, officially, in full capitals

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Well, duh. Not the biblical figure, but loads of people are actually named jesus.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden how long before emojis in party names

Jutschge

"Jesus loves you" A thing that's nice to hear unless you're in a mexcian prison

Kevin van der Velden

Le sigh, googles what the "free democratic party" is about (electable in 2 regions)... first hit: "leader free democratic party arrested"

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden lol

Kevin van der Velden

10:23

(it's because he's a neonazi, for the not-dutch)

Matt E. Эллен

🗑️🔥 will be a popular party

Kevin van der Velden

@badp fairly sure the names need to be actual letters and such

Matt E. Эллен

(sorry, I chouldn't find a dumpster emoji)

Kevin van der Velden

Also fun fact @badp: The 31 parties at the start? Those were the parties that actually send a list of candidates, there were another 50 parties that didn't

badp

we also used to have a stupid amount of parties

back when there parties would band up together and get benefits for it

Kevin van der Velden

10:26

Then fascism?

badp

no, then we stopped rewarding parties for banding up together

Matt E. Эллен

💩🎦 another obvious option

Nzall

so you got the VVD, the Worker's Party, the Freedom Party, the socialists party, the Christ-democrats, the '66 democrats, the Christ Union, GREENLEFT, the state reform party, the Animal party, 50PLUS, the entrepreneur party, VNL, THINK, NEW ROADS, Democratic Forum, the Civilian Movement, the Freethinkers, NOLEVEL, the Pirate Party, Article 1, the Non Voters party, Libertarians, the Local on National party, JEZUS LIVES, VoteNL, Human Spirit/Basic income/V-R and Free Democratic Party

Avery

@badp they did not, for the extra annoyance

Nzall

Those are all the party

Kevin van der Velden

10:27

"Human Spirit/Basic income/V-R" is one party btw, for everyone else

Nzall

And the Non Voters party is not the people who aren't going to vote, but a party actually called "Non Voters

Led by Peter Pissman

Or Puddleman, depending on translation

Arperum

@Nzall Generally you don't translate names.

Nzall

@Arperum I know that, just wanted to make a joke about how silly Dutch names are

Arperum

@Nzall Well yes, they frequently are.

Jutschge

@Arperum I wish that was true... In german game of thrones Jon Snow is called "John Schnee"... Can't watch it in german because of stuff like that.

Kevin van der Velden

10:30

That is what happens when invaders suddenly force you to pick a lastname and everyone just assumes they'll stop being a thing when the invaders leave

Nzall

Also, the Freedom Party is the nationalist populist party, which is pretty similar to Trump and Le Pen

Kevin van der Velden

@Jutschge I can't watch stuff in german because german is weird and terrible

Jutschge

As a native speaker: Agreed...

Kevin van der Velden

(PVV = "Partij van vrijheid" = "Party of Freedom" = what @Nzall said)

Nzall

As in: want a Nexit, Want an immigration stop

And their leader has recently been convicted of inciting hatred because at one of his party forums, he made the crowd chant "less Moroccans"

And still they got 10% of the votes 5 years ago

Arperum

10:32

@KevinvanderVelden I did not know what the acronym was standing for, I should have know it would be something like that.

Jutschge

Our most dominant party is pretty far right and well... Their leaders also get into trouble often enough.

Kevin van der Velden

I was confused at Nzall's translation for a bit so I spelled it out

Jutschge

Although not as often as the far left ones...

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Indeed. ANd now you lot are stuck with names such as "born naked" or "pancake"

Kevin van der Velden

or "of the fields", what a weird name

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden Partij VOOR de vrijheid, not van

Kevin van der Velden

Kevin van der Velden

Yuup, it's been in dollar stores for weeks

badp

It is illegal to even think about easter chocolate before the 26th

WHAT IS LENT EVEN ABOUT other than lentils you guys really are into lent lentils.

Kevin van der Velden

10:55

@badp Normally yes, but it's already been easter once this year

badp

Kevin van der Velden

@badp Lent is a place in Nijmegen, I know of no other lents

badp

the thing when Albert Heijn is all about lentils and what not

mostly lentils

is it because of the pun

it's because of the pun isn't it

goddammit @KevinvanderVelden

Kevin van der Velden

That's not a custom

badp

or having ~two meals per day

Kevin van der Velden

Also not a custom =p

Arperum

@badp That's barbaric. Three is a minimum.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum "~" => "around 2"

Nzall

@Avery I didn't know Walter White was a student

Avery

Jesse Pinkman is

Aaand that student is now planning to study organic chem so I suppose it'll be fun to see him get arrested

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Breakfast is a requirement.

Private Pansy

@Avery Either that or blow himself up

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum Blatantly false

@PrivatePansy soooo, I want to look up how easy it is to blow yourself up while making meth... but that'd put me on even more lists

Chippies

12:02

Pretty sure making meth is the easy part. The hard part is selling it without getting killed or arrested.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden No.

Nzall

Thing is, Meth is actually pretty hard to make AFAIK

you need several flammable products including Kerosene

Matt E. Эллен

@KevinvanderVelden this is why there aren't any Dutch Hobbits.

Nzall

and since it's called "cooking" meth, you can see why it's dangerous

Also, most meth labs are run by dumb people. they leave their flammable stuff in open containers, which then form fumes. Add an open flame and bye bye meth lab

Arperum

@MattE.Эллен Belgians have been named the hobbits of Europe before. It has nothing to do with size, but everything with eating.

Matt E. Эллен

12:14

It makes sense

a hobbit's defining characteristics are resistance to the one ring and eating a lot

Nzall

Essentially, Galaxy Note 7 batteries keep exploding, even in the factory

And yes, it's actual batteries that caught fire in that factory

Chippies

Why would batteries explode if they're not being charged/discharged by use?

Nzall

@Chippies these were discarded batteries that didn't meet quality control standards

Kevin van der Velden

@Nzall no but I was around when it was linked last night =p

Chippies

12:24

@Nzall I don't think batteries can just explode like that though

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden oh, right.

Chippies

batteries usually explode because they're either being charged faster than they can handle or discharged faster than they can handle

Nzall

I mentioned this to my coworkers last night, they guffawed

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies Correction: Properly made batteries

Chippies

if they're not hooked up to anything, I just can't see them exploding

@KevinvanderVelden even poorly made batteries aren't exactly made of explosives, afaik

Nzall

12:25

@Chippies these were defective

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies lithium ion? Yeah they are

Q: Why is there so much fear surrounding LiPo batteries?

I've been trying to design a charging system for a small robot powered by a 2S 20C lithium polymer (LiPo) battery. Were I to trust everything I read online, I would believe that the LiPo will kill me in my sleep and steal my life savings. The common advice I read, if you are brave enough to use L...

read the accepted answer

The reason why batteries usually don't explode is because there's a LOT of electronics in them to prevent wrong charging and discharging

Chippies

@Nzall I stopped reading around 3/4's. Can they explode if they're not charged though?

Nzall

> If they are overdischarged, some of the metal in the cathode undergoes an irreversible chemical reaction and will form metallic shunts. These shunts will be invisible, until charging expands part of the battery enough that the separating membrane is punctured by one of these shunts, creating a dead short, which of course results in fire, etc.: The lithium ion failure mode we know and love.

Kevin van der Velden

@Chippies Less so because there isn't as much energy

@Nzall that's when they're recharged after being discharged

Nzall

Note: these batteries were defective

Chippies

12:31

@Nzall I saw that, but what @KevinvanderVelden said

Nzall

so they had defects

a normal battery shouldn't explode when properly charged

Matt E. Эллен

Why Are Smartphone Batteries Combusting?

►

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Chippies

what I don't understand is how were they stored? I would assume they had to be properly stored expecting fire or explosions to happen, but clearly that was not the case?

were they just all thrown into a big pile of defective batteries?

Kevin van der Velden

Possibly, who knows

Nzall

12:33

@Chippies at the scale those are made, it's impractical to carefully dispose of defective products one by one

Kevin van der Velden

Possibly one failed during testing, was tossed in a pile to be disposed and started a chain reaction

Chippies

@Nzall even then, you'd think the pile would be in some sort of a giant safe or something

something that could contain the potential fire/explosions

Nzall

@Chippies do you think batteries are kind enough to wait for failure until their batch is delivered to the disposal zone?

Chippies

@Nzall no, but I like to imagine we live in a perfect world :)

Nzall

A battery can fail just as likely right after being taken off the line as in the disposal zone

badp

and maybe some of them are good batteries,

BlueBarren

I played that game for a very short time

Nzall

But these days, you can just do your personal storyline and the planet story line

BlueBarren

Jutschge

@Nzall Yeah that's why I said most. Legion was fun but after some years WoW starts to lose it's replayability.

Nzall

@Jutschge Have you tried GW2?

Because if the game doesn't have enough endgame, you can always level an alt

Jutschge

14:01

Yup. But I don't feel like there's enough PvE content. PvP is great but the only game i'm good at in PvP is league.

Or did they update it with more PvE content?

Nzall

They added raids, and most of the PvE content is in the outdoor world

Sterno

@Arperum They didn't say anything specific so we last fed him at 5pm. Which would have been 20 hours. They needed 24.

OH WELL

Nzall

although I haven't tried raids yet, and the PvE content they added is technically endgame since it's at max level

Jutschge

Hmm I might look into it again. I kinda enjoyed GW2. I have the expansion but I haven't really played since

Nzall

I mean, they didn't add new levels, so if you have a level 80, you can do all the new content

@Jutschge Try it. The game is F2P if you have an account anyway, so you're not wasting money

I'm not sure if switching homeowners insurance is always the worst or if the company I'm leaving is just the worst.

I guess I'll learn more next time I want to switch companies.

@Fluttershy Fun, but I'm only through the first real mission so far.

(the one after Tower of London)

badp

I mean

It was still illegal

but with reduction on penalties

@Sterno I'm only part of the way through that one. And I already regret taking Kusarigama... Thanks a lot, Bridge. :P

(you'd still go to jail)

Avery

@badp that's actually how it still is in turkey :(

if your wife cheated on you and you have proof and kill her, you still go to jail, but get a notable reduction for some legalese saying it was her fault or something

@badp he messaged me that they'll likely going to get a new tos soon anyways and that he'll keep that in mind. And also this bit: "honestly I didn't even know that was in there"

Wikipedia bans Daily Mail as a source citing reliability concerns

Unionhawk

Oh shit

Ah, a RfC on RS/N

I was wondering what the proper avenue for that decision was

Part of me wants to take part in efforts to resource things assuming a script already exists

Because screw Daily Mail

Nzall

@Unionhawk Feel free to do so

they're looking for volunteers to resource DM links

@Nzall Like I said, iff there's a script (there's probably a script)

(wikipedia cleanup people love cleanup scripts)

Q: When I open tf2 my volume stops working

When I open Team fortress 2 and counter strike global offensive (via steam) and i plugin headphones an error sign shows up as i try to increase the volume. I haven't tested this with any other games yet but these 2 react in this way for sure. Is there some option to change this or is there a prob...

Unionhawk

Yes

I've used cleanup scripts. They're great

@Chippies Ironically, the search engine Bing is not one of those things.

Kevin van der Velden

Help, I'm looking at tools again

I really don't need more

Nzall

@Yuuki "Google. Because even fascists can't live without us"

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden don't ask the bridge to reinforce financial decisions

Kevin van der Velden

Usually all the ways you guys try to reinforce bad decisions make me remember they're bad

So the front page on Twitch has some guy playing online poker

For thousands of dollars

I have to assume that's a delayed stream because otherwise RIP him
