@murgatroid99 I don't get it. Should I be angry at the ad too?

Morning Kevin

@Nzall going through the replies and wow, people are taking this as a serious attack on them, lol

@Chippies 'boys will be boys' is often used to excuse harassment and worse

@Kevin I know that, but the ad is literally against it

@Chippies yeaaah, some people don't like being called out on it...

9:34 AM

it seems that most people are angry that Gillette has the audacity to tell them that men can be better, which is a direct attack on them, because they clearly didn't need to be reminded, because they're just such good people

People are making the leap from "Don't excuse behaviour that is typically excused for no real reason" to "Men need to be reminded to be decent human beings as they are inherently worse than women"

Some people just look for ways to get offended and be heard

@Chippies yeah basically that

So they're making a point of showing how good they are by... uuuh checks notes harassing people

@Wrigglenite I feel like anyone that can make such a leap are probably part of the problem and the target audience to the ad anyway

It's an utterly cynical marketing trick, but that doesn't mean awareness is a bad thing

10:23 AM

@Kevin ofcause not, just that i feel they are doing this for the wrong reasons

Oh definitely, hence me saying "utterly cynical marketing trick"

@Memor-X @Kevin I mean, I don't mind if something intended as a cynical marketing trick may end up positively shaping near-future society

Yup, I don't think we're disagreeing here

It does however mean they don't deserve any praise for it

Thing is, this might actually backfire on them. Sure, they might influence the younger people to check out their brand, but there is a certain amount of overlap between their consumer customers and the people who would be offended by this message

As in the people who think shaving with Gillette is a REAL MANLY THING(tm) and now see aspects of their masculinity attacked by the very brand that's been telling them to be VERY MANLY

I mean, the type of man that considers themselves a man worthy of Gillette probably is the same kind of man that is considered the poster child of toxic masculinity: straight as a ruler, really misogynist and solving their problems with aggression

So I think I'll buy horizons as well

It occurs to me that if I only wind up playing elite for 2-3 hours and stopping again, that @Sterno getting me play bad rats for this game has now cost me $70 (stick + expansion) on top of needing to play bad rats.

He definitely got his money's worth buying me that

@Wipqozn ... Sterno gifted you Elite in return for you playing Bad Rats?

@Nzall Yes, and I ended up playing bad rats longer than I played Elite

@Wipqozn that does sound like something you would do

Jan 3 '15 at 14:27, by Sterno

If @wipqozn beats Bad Rats without cheating and skipping parts of te game, I will buy him Elite: dangerous

I remember watching you stream Bat Rats.

1:26 PM

@Wipqozn So you didn't like elite then?

I liked the puzzle that you just had to keep retrying until the RNG physics cooperated.

Isn't that like all of them?

Some of them were more reliable than others.

Like, it's funny how a physics-based puzzler has inconsistent physics

@InvaderSkoodge Yeah that was the best part. It's a physics puzzler without determintistic physics

@Nzall I got bored of it quick. But now I feel like trying it again. I expect similar results, BUT! I really hated the keyboard and mouse controls so buying a flight stick might help.

1:33 PM

@Wipqozn I hated the KBM controls too, which is to be expected for a space shooter with Newtonian physics

Like, I loved Freelancer, but not when I had the Newtonian Physics enabled, because it would mean my ship ended up flying all over the place

Apparently, Brexit would count as a class-0 apocalypse: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ApocalypseHow/Class0

@Wipqozn Seriously, pick up that joystick. It's pretty cheap now, and it's surprisingly nice

@SaintWacko link?

@Nzall Can't you disable Newtonian physics?

@SaintWacko I'm not sure you can in Elite

@SaintWacko I did that last night

1:50 PM

@Nzall it's disabled by default

@Wipqozn Yessss

Okay, then I'm not sure what I did wrong

@Nzall amazon.com/Extreme-3D-Pro-Joystick-Windows-x/dp/B00009OY9U

Because I couldn't at all figure out the controls

oh wait, I remember

Essentially, I struggled because it was impossible to fly in a straight line while mouse cursor flying was on, because the slightest deviation from the center would still move your ship, which made hidding a stationary target like the first targeting buoy frustrating

At least Freelancer had a tiny deadzone I believe

@Nzall Ooh, yeah, that'd be annoying

A joystick makes it way better

And then a HOTAS probably makes it better still

1:53 PM

today I got a new passport

the procedure for destroying the old one was... extreme

"CANCELLED" text and holes on every page, cuts on back (destroying NFC), identity page cut to half

@Ave Did you destroy the old one by choice?

Oh wow

Is that needed?

@Ave Like the old joke? dunk it in ink, dry it, shred it, burn it, pulverize the ashes and snort the remaining dust?

yes

@Nzall nah, I am required to keep the old one

@Moacir Probably yes. It's a pretty important document if someone stole it.

but they did "physical destruction" of it in spot to prevent me from using it

1:56 PM

@Moacir If you want to keep it yes. It's similar in the UK iirc.

@Ave Oh on the spot, wow.

@fredley I wasn't even allowed to not keep it.

@Ave You have to pay extra (postage) if you want to keep your old passport, since it's property of the state anyway.

apparently I'm required to carry my old passports to consulates along with the newest one as they might want to see it

I need to get a passport. Not because I want to leave the country or anything, but I think it would be a good document to have

keep in mind that I had all the visa pages empty so there's literally nothing about that document, but i was still told to take it to visa interviews and such

I'll take it with me alongside the new one when I'm going abroad for a while in a couple months

@fredley wait, how do you even apply for passport in UK?

2:00 PM

@Ave You post off the form.

that's amazing.

You include your birth certificate plus any extra docs required.

A few days/weeks later, passport

same in the united states

Even when I had my passport stolen (so extra checks were neccessary), it was still just a form.

Had to get weird stuff like my parents' marriage certificate and send that in too tho.

Here we take old passport (if there's one), 2 biometric photos, paper showing that we paid the cost and a valid ID, go to nearest citizenship bureau (used to be nearest police station, changed on february 2018), hand them the stuff, give fingerprints, they "destroy" the old passport, you sign a couple papers, tell them where the new passport will be shipped and then go home.

and in a couple days my new passport should arrive.

2:03 PM

Actually, it's not quite that in the US, you have to complete the form in person to one of a list of people

For the photos you can get them taken biomagically at the Post Office (where you also get the forms), or you just take them in any old photo booth. You have to get them signed on the back (and on the form) by someone respecatable who knows you, like a lawyer or doctor.

it just happens that "designated postal employee at an authorized post office" is one of them

Lol, we have a functioning healthcare system here, so everyone has a doctor, not just a postal employee.

"functioning" not for lack of trying

status-bydesign

I can even give a star rating to doctors. It's weird.

@Ave that's pretty neat, but it also reminds me how frustrating it is that every country seems to pick different units to measure hormone levels in

I need to set up an appointment to probably get prescribed cholesterol medicine lol

@ToxicFrog ng/L is pg/mL

and start using my $3,000 deductible (basically how health insurance works in the united states is it is completely useless until you spend a certain amount of money on it)

2:12 PM

@Ave yes, but here they're measured in mol/L

so I can directly compare values without having to do maths

(or, well, pmol/nmol/umol per L)

@ToxicFrog ah, yeah,t rue.

I think it's pg/mL is the european standard

Which means you have to do a mols-to-mass conversion (or vice versa) to compare to levels from elsewhere

that's true

2:13 PM

Also some places use dL instead of L or mL which is super great because it's still just a constant factor conversion but it's not one that involves just changing the SI prefix

Q: Fast or silent efficient trashcan

After recently centralizing item storage and sorting at my base, I found myself with some chests approaching overflowing.

minecraft minecraft-redstone

I'm just waiting for the day I'm reading a paper that measures E2 levels in nL/L or something just to be contrary.

(and this is all especially fresh in my mind because I have an endo appointment in five hours)

@Unionhawk So your health insurance doesn't start covering things until you paid 3K out of your own pocket? and when you get to that number, does it just cover the surplus, or also that 3K?

@Nzall that is correct and just the surplus.

"deductibles" aren't unique to US health insurance -- they're common in car insurance here, for example -- but they seem to be both very common and egregiously high there.

Just took a call at work from someone wondering if we have any Fortnite cakes

We don't. Which is I guess a bit surprising?

2:19 PM

Weird. In Belgium, you pay for your health insurance, and then anything you need for your health is like 75-90% cheaper with the difference paid for by your insurance provider

@Nzall That is correct. This is a family out-of-pocket limit, fortunately, but how it works in practice is we use it up around october and then start scheduling a bunch of stuff in november and december

since after that they do cover 100% of what they approve

@BunsGlazing do you have any fortnite burgers, though?

My personal deductible on this plan will become $1,500 once I get on my own

and assuming it doesn't increase before I turn 26 (also assuming that piece stays)

@BunsGlazing presumably you would have to license them or something?

@ToxicFrog yeah but we have a ton of licensed cakes, e just got an Aquaman one with a little Jason Momoa

@Ave ?

2:24 PM

Aah

Oh, yeah, in that context it is surprising

@BunsGlazing just a dumb meme, ignore.

Now that I think about it I can't think of any gaming related cakes that we offer

Mostly Disney movies and kids shows, a few Barbie ones

Star wars and superheroes

We don't even have a Minecraft cake

In not tonight it's possible to enter codes into the Codr app. What are all the potential codes and what do they unlock?

@Yuuki In basketball do you only get "points" if you're the one who takes the shot?

In hockey you get a point for a goal or an assist.

@InvaderSkoodge Yes but they do track assists.

I imagine it might be different than hockey because you have 2-point shots and 3-point shots.

Hockey's also way lower-scoring so just how points are thought about in general is different.

Basketball is the major US sport I know least about.

3:14 PM

The other notable thing is that the Rockets's roster is kinda hurting right now with injuries on three of their best players (second to Harden of course).

So he managed to put up this monster of a game when the team couldn't field their other really good players as multiple points of attack.

It's kind of obvious in hindsight, but if you're steeping 2L of cold brew, then you need another 2L container to filter the coffee into

Things got a bit messy. Also, coffee ground is oily. And incredibly annoying to deal with when wet

How does cold brew coffee taste in comparison to regular coffee? And French press?

Other than temperature, obviously.

I'm not going to taste the 24h steeped coffee which I just filtered out because its night here and I do want to sleep

I did pour out a bit this morning when it was only steeped for 12h. The coffee isn't bitter and tastes pretty different

The recipe I'm using makes concentrate and I think I diluted a bit too much

Tim Stone

@PrivatePansy Why sleep when you could transcend to a new plane of existence?

4:07 PM

@Yuuki I really don't have the repetoire to describe taste, but it tastes smoother and sweeter imo

It tastes surprisingly unlike normal coffee

So you probably did it right

@fredley Hmm... I might try it then.

Vocabulary. The word for word repetoires is vocabulary.

I need more sleep

Also, Bulbasaur is, as the name suggest, the bulb/bud stage of the plant whereas most of these depictions are flowering.

Should be using Venusaur instead.

But bulbasaur is not a bulb, it's a bud

Spider-Man: Far From Home Teaser Trailer #1 (2019) | Movieclips Trailers

Being a vegetarian in the Pokemon universe must be terrifying

@PrivatePansy Worse than eating meat?

Also given that Venusaur is named (presumably) for a Venus fly trap, why doesn't it have Bite?

Also why isn't there a final evoultion stage: Fruitasaur?

I don't think this Pokéman is particularly well thought through

I like the evolutionary chains that end before the creature's "final" stage

Like Poliwrath or Parasect

4:49 PM

@fredley Your salad may be illicitly harvested Pokemon cancer

Parasect is terrifying. It's like a far more mobile cordyceps victim.

Forretress too, now that I think about it

@Yuuki That's what it's supposed to be, isn't it?

@Yuuki No Pokéman is as terrifying as Mr Mime, and I will not be challenged on this.

@Wrigglenite Forretress is just a tougher Pineco. The horror of Parasect is if you consider that Pokemon are at least somewhat sapient. What really is Parasect? The crab thing or the fungus?

"Pokémen are sort of like animals"... "and also some spirit sorta things"..."and also some random mythic sorta things"..."and Mr Mime".

@Yuuki See: Toad

4:56 PM

@Yuuki It's the fungus. I'm 90% sure there's a Pokédex entry on it.

@Wrigglenite Which is terrifying since Paras isn't fully parasitized by the fungus yet.

Since RBY, in fact

Oh, it's definitely terrifying

@Wrigglenite So if you detach the fruiting body from the Parasect, is the cap still technically Parasect?

It would probably die very shortly after you did that

But yes, I suppose?

It's a bit like Slowbro and its Shellder

That's a bit more symbiotic

4:59 PM

Yes, that's true

> The mushrooms, known as tochukaso, are controlling the bug. Even if the bug bugs the mushrooms, they tell it to bug off.

We're trying to have a serious discussion here, Ultra Moon

(That's Paras, not even Parasect)

> The bug is mostly dead, with the mushroom on its back having become the main body. If the mushroom comes off, the bug stops moving.

That's Parasect

Imagine getting a Paras for a pet as a kid and then one day it evolves into Parasect.

If anyone is interested, looks like Caffeine.tv is promoting streaming by giving games if you stream there

Challenge: Broadcast 30 minutes on 2 different days.
Game Prize: Rocket League

It has a list of "Approved games" and uses a proprietary stream program, but there is a workaround for you to stream by capturing OBS.

It is a basically lag free stream system. I did it once to show a game and be able to talk at discord at the same time

capturing OBS sounds like a 2 step process that would kill CPU

@Unionhawk Well, I didn't notice it while streaming Hitman

Twitch delay fwiu is minimal these days

And my computer is not a beast

When I tried it had like 30 secs of delay

But again, I am from Brazil, so mileage may vary

While with caffeine I could literally talk with someone on discord that was watching my stream in realtime

On twitch I would laugh at something, the person would be like "wat", and then 30 secs later would laugh

@Moacir I don't think twitch is that bad anymore.

lol I'm reminded of one of my favorite twitch clips of mine

twitch.tv/unionhawk/v/324814046

It was originally near realtime, then they added some infrastructure that fucked that up, but it's been slowly getting better.

Well, I think it was like 2 months ago, so maybe?

I know partners have a setting for additional delay

I do not know why you would use it

Partners got the lag-free thing too

except I guess to more effectively use higher bitrate caps maybe?

@Unionhawk Stream competitive games and avoid snipers

@InvaderSkoodge Nearly streaming things start out fast, then get shit, then (sometimes) get better.

streaming is easy when you're small

that's true

It gets a lot harder as you scale

Sometimes you can claw some of it back, but that's the way of it.

If you have a centralised streaming system, its performance will almost always be inversely proptional to user base

I think Caffeine.tv stream program counterintuitive. It is not easy to set up. And maybe because they can control how the information is transmitted to their servers they can make it seemly lagless

Unlike OBS where you can customize the bitrate, size, etc and the server has to deal with it

But OBS has too many cool functions

It would be pretty great if you described your first ever bicycle to me. (Just designing our final bike-customisations for the game atm) #knightsandbikes https://t.co/RSZ8nIZUjF
