On average how many times do you have to shout at the ceiling before the lights work?

Chippies

@PrivatePansy on average, probably 1.2 times

living room takes more tries, I assume because more noise

user15026

The only use I have so far for any sort of smart thing is wanting to be able to yell for my song to change when iTunes plays one I don't like when I am doing dishes.

Chippies

but also, google mini ignores my voice more than it ignores my wife's voice 🤔 even though when we first got it, it was the opposite

@Ash we use google mini like 90% just for music

it's great

doesn't integrate with iTunes though, because apple vs google

SaintWacko

@Chippies That's really why I like my Home Hub

And I have a Mini on the way

Chippies

google mini's can be bought for pretty cheap nowadays

SaintWacko

19:03

And I kinda want a Max for the living room

user15026

All of my music is on my desktop computer, I use iTunes to sort it

SaintWacko

@Chippies I got mine for $20

Chippies

@SaintWacko I'd be fine with just a regular Home for the living room :P But the mini works

user15026

I wonder if there's another program I could use that the mini would talk to

SaintWacko

@Ash All my music is in Google Play music, so the Google Home stuff is perfect

Yuuki

19:04

@Chippies To be fair, soon iTunes won't integrate with iTunes.

user15026

@SaintWacko Okay, this is where I get confused, and maybe y'all can help.

Chippies

@SaintWacko we got ours before they started going on clearance or whatever. 80$ CAD for first one, then we got a bundle of 2 for 110$ and gave one for in-laws for christmas

user15026

I have a ipod mini that i use when I am out of my house, and I use itunes to play my music in my house .

user15026

I don't stream my music, it's all stuff I have the files for.

user15026

Would something like GPM allow me to idk import all that somehow? I don't want to pay for a streaming subscription.

user15026

19:05

Or am I just screwed because I am weirdly luddite a little about my music?

Chippies

@Ash GPM allows you to upload your own music, yes

user15026

but I'd still have to use Apple whatever replaces itunes to put stuff on the iPod, correct?

Chippies

without subscription though, playing specific songs is finnicky, because you can only play specific songs from your uploaded library

@Ash Idk much about apple stuff, but I believe so?

SaintWacko

@Chippies For the minis? Dang

user15026

Hm.

SaintWacko

19:07

@Ash Yeah, that's how I started with GPM

Chippies

@SaintWacko yeah, few months later everyone just started giving them away, lol

user15026

I might wait til WorldEngineer is here and get him to help me figure this out, because I am stupidly confused.

SaintWacko

I subscribe now, though, and have zero regrets about it

Chippies

we split costs on a family plan with in-laws, you also get no ads on youtube, so that's nice

user15026

@SaintWacko I am just trying to cut out as much extra subs as I can right now as when World gets here money will be tight til he gets a job

SaintWacko

19:07

All I upload anymore is clips of LadyWacko and DameWacko singing

Moacir

I remember reading a story about a DJ that did remixes of songs, and one day he got on iTunes, and iTunes replaced all his songs with the lower quality version they have in their library or something like that

Chippies

(unless you pay 2$ less and get only the GPM)

Moacir

@SaintWacko DameWacko?

SaintWacko

@Chippies LadyWacko's tired of iTunes, so I've been trying to convince her to join me on a GPM family plan, but she prefers Spotify

@Moacir My other wife

Moacir

@SaintWacko I am not sure if you are joking

Chippies

19:09

@SaintWacko I've tried Spotify, but didn't like it. The fact that I could upload my own stuff to GPM is what got me into it

SaintWacko

@Moacir Not really, no

Moacir

@SaintWacko Huh

Chippies

I also never subscribed to Spotify, so maybe it's not as bad with a subscription

Moacir

I never knew someone who had more than one wife

(Or husband)

Chippies

I'm gonna go clean the kitchen and listen to songs from Fraggle Rock

SaintWacko

19:12

@Moacir I mean, obviously I'm only legally married to one of them, but they both have rings

Moacir

@SaintWacko Oh, not judging or anything

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Oh, y'all made it official? Last I heard, it was in more of a "figuring stuff out" stage.

Moacir

What matters is that you and everyone involved is ok with that

Wipqozn

@Moacir wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory

Damn it one box

I give up

Moacir

@Wipqozn I know it is a thing, it is just not a thing I am used to see

SaintWacko

19:14

@Yuuki Things got complicated for a while, and I'm still not sure it's entirely figured out, but it works out for the most part

Yuuki

Polyamory

Polyamory (from Greek πολύ poly, "many, several", and Latin amor, "love") is the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the consent of all partners involved. It has been described as "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy". People who identify as polyamorous believe in an open relationship with a conscious management of jealousy; they reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity are necessary for deep, committed, long-term loving relationships.Polyamory has come to be an umbrella term for various forms of non-monogamous, multi-partner...

Don't need to copy links, SE has a one-box shortcut for Wikipedia.

Unionhawk

also you want en.wikipedia, not en.m.wikipedia and not wikipedia

SaintWacko

Although it is annoying if you use Wikiwand

Yuuki

Doesn't Wikiwand just scrape from Wikipedia?

SaintWacko

I used to have a autohotkey script that would autoconvert any copied wikiand link to a wikipedia link, just for oneboxing

I think @GnomeSlice might still be using it

Yuuki

19:23

Does Wikiwand at least contribute some money to Wikipedia?

Q: How is the rating calculated in Wordfeud?

Winning a game increases your rating with a number, and losing decreases your rating with a number. I've gotten anything between 6-20 and possibly higher. This is independent from the game score, which is explained in the manual. How exactly is the rating calculated?

@Unionhawk I had one of those originally

胚胎幹細胞

胚胎幹細胞（Embryonic stem cell，簡稱ESC）是一類具有多能性的幹細胞。在卵細胞受精後，受精卵經過桑葚胚階段，進入囊胚階段。囊胚中的細胞可以歸入兩個大類：滋養層（trophoblast，TE）和內細胞群（inner cell mass，ICM）。滋養層的細胞會分化爲胚胎外的組織（胎盤等），內細胞群的細胞則會分化成胚胎的其餘結構。分離內細胞群細胞並進行體外（in vitro）培養，即可取得胚胎幹細胞。胚胎幹細胞擁有分化爲三個胚層的細胞的潛能，或者說在一般情況下能分化形成除了胎盤之外的所有胚胎結構，此為胚胎幹細胞多能性的具體體現。 1981年，英國劍橋大學遺傳學部中，兩個分別由马丁·埃文斯（Martin Evans）以及马修·考夫曼（Matthew Kaufman）率領的研究團隊分別在體外建立了小鼠胚胎幹細胞系。而胚胎幹細胞這一術語則是由加州大學舊金山分校（UCSF）解剖學部的教授蓋爾·馬丁（Gail R. Martin）於當年12月的一篇論文中首次提出。1998年，威斯康星大學教授詹姆斯·汤姆森（James Thomson）等人成功建立了人胚胎幹細胞系。2007年，马丁·埃文斯與另外兩名科學家因「利用胚胎幹細胞引入特異性基因修飾的原理上的發現」而獲得當年諾貝爾生理學或醫學獎。胚胎幹細胞被認爲在再生醫學、組織工程、藥物實驗等領域擁有廣闊的應用前景，胚胎幹細胞對...

Science

Science is what we do to find out about the natural world. Natural sciences include physics, chemistry, biology, geology and astronomy. Science uses mathematics and logic, which are sometimes called "formal sciences". Natural science makes observations and experiments. Science produces accurate facts, scientific laws and theories. 'Science' also refers to the large amount of knowledge that has been found using this process.Research uses the scientific method. Scientific research uses hypotheses based on ideas or earlier knowledge, which can be categorized through different topics. Then thos...

Yuuki

I wonder how you link other languages using the shortcut.

You probably can't.

Unionhawk

Probably not, idk how you would even do that

I assume it just takes wiki:$ and produces en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$

Moacir

19:54

@SaintWacko I decided to search on bridge for DameWacko mentions and oh boy, it has been a ride huh?

I am happy that everything went well

I am totally like you I think, when trying to avoid "fight or flight" situations.

fredley

Man the Chernobyl series is great, really great and also awful

Awful in the sense that I literally had my hand clamped over my mouth the entire first episode

Moacir

On the same line, Black Mirror first episode is the same thing

It was great to the point where me and my SO wouldn't stop watching, awful to the point we dont want to see what comes next

fredley

Thing about Chernobyl is it's pretty accurately dramatised history. People did those things and literally melted away in real life.

The melting parts were among the worst

Acute radiation exposure easily the worst way to die it turns out

Moacir

@fredley To be fair, it is not a thing that can be tested

SaintWacko

@Moacir Yeah, I stopped talking about her in here for a while after I unthinkingly mentioned the name I had been using for her and she found my messages in here. At that point we still hadn't completely told her how we really felt and so finding those made things awkward for a while

Private Pansy

20:04

It's funny how coal power plants cause order of magnitude more deaths via cancer and lung disease, but because those victims die quietly in hospitals you don't get HBO docudrama about them

fredley

Dunno, I think I'd choose anything over that.

Moacir

@SaintWacko OH! Thats why you mentioned about how the things said here are search-able and indexed

fredley

@PrivatePansy Yeah. 'only' 50 died directly. Another 9k deaths associated though.

SaintWacko

@Moacir Ah, yep

fredley

I also never knew how close we got to wiping out all of Europe

This seems like an exceptionally good idea elon

That's awesome

Unionhawk

I wonder if it works while under way with autopilot (which would most likely be extremely illegal)

murgatroid99

I'm pretty sure I saw that the games only work while the car is parked

Private Pansy

@Unionhawk Quite possibly the most elon idea yet from elon

given current litigation regarding sudden and unexpected acceleration of tesla vehicles resulting in serious bodily injury, I am skeptical of intentionally pressing the accelerate pedal while parked even

I'm really bad at Cadence of Hyrule

Wipqozn

21:01

wait, is cadence not a roguelike

> As I start exploring the world of Hyrule (playing as Link, though Zelda is also an option), I quickly stumble upon a few classic staples: a small blue shield, a sword and, a few screens later, a hookshot. This gear, usually hidden underground in mini-dungeons, sticks with me, even after death, making subsequent playthroughs much easier. Heart containers carry over, too, letting me explore deeper into the world without the insta-deaths that make the first few hours of NecroDancer so punishing.

> Hyrule remains as well, at least in story mode. I uncover more of the map as I explore, moving screen-by-screen in the same manner as the classic Zelda games. NecroDancer was fully randomized after every death, but here I can to return to areas I’ve already visited, besting enemies that were previously too strong. I feel like I’m getting stronger and more capable as I play, just like I would in a traditional Zelda game.

Ronan

Ooh neat

It's just finished downloading

Even the title screen music is good

user15026

@Wipqozn This might make me like it better than Necrodancer

Wipqozn

If I buy this it's @Sterno and @Unionhawk's fault

Ronan

Oh neat, you don't need to move in time when there are no enemies around, that speeds things up

Zelda sound effects 😍

Wipqozn

Damn it @Ronan

Fine , FINE

I'LL BUY IT

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!?

The big question is - do you challenge Ganon to a dance battle at the end?
