whoa what is this rep recalculation thing
if I'm not mistaken, I gained like 4k rep both here and on SO
mostly due to this:

Q: How can I use Python to get the system hostname?

JohnI'm writing a chat program for a local network. I would like be able to identify computers and get the user-set computer name with Python.

lol
was a little confused getting notified that I had moderator tools on SO since last time I checked I was at like 7k
 
@John Hah yeah there are a few single questions that have boosted me on various sites
@John Yeah I got about 15 Yearling notifications.
 
@RedRiderX oh is that related too? didn't realize
I also got a bunch of those
 
Well because questions confer double the rep, it may have pushed you above 300(?) on some sites (200+assoc bonus) meaning you qualify for the yearling badge retroactively.
 
there are like 3 for the same site
this is some complicated retroactive stuff

Q: What does the "Bird/Worm" slider do?

RedRiderXI've noticed this slider in the settings screen: There seem to only be two options: Bird and Worm. Is this some kind of difficulty menu? What exactly does it do, if anything?

 
Yesterday i spent a few hours repeatedly replying the start of Mugen Souls trying to get the DLC Balance right. now i am thinking if i should start yet another new game to disabled the obviously OPed equipment but keep the obscene amounts of GP and Mugen
but despite that i do love the G-Castle Battle with Auttouteki na GO!! playing in the background
just a shame i can't have an even more epic fight with that going (and skipping the Tutorial)
 
@Elise for a second, i read "assclicker"
 
More affordable but... that's not a glowing review
 
@Yuuki it's supposed to be read as ass-kicker

RandomHandleIn Skyrim Special Edition (PC, Steam), I have committed no crimes at all in Markarth, have not yet met the Thieves Guild, and make sure to interact with people during Merchant's hours (8AM to 8PM). Yet, when I'm buying from merchants, cleansing the Hall of the Dead, or talking with anyone, I keep...

IsukaWhile cooking in the new mini game of Sword and Shield, you have three different steps to accomplish: Working on the fire Mixing the curry "Putting your heart into it" There is no real indicator in the game to explain you when you're doing one of those steps correctly.

Q: Are there any areas that become sealed off during the course of the game?

EllesedilOn just about every planet, there are areas that are inaccessible until your character learns specific abilities such as wall run or force push. However, are there any areas that are initially accessible at some point, but then later become inaccessible for whatever reason?

Morning chat
 
Morning @Elva
 
This week is going to be ... interesting
Got planned work for 20 out of 32 work hours... 4 hours of those are some minor issues, and 16 is "Backups"...
Like... that's it, the thing I'm supposed to work on is "Backups", I have shared all the information I have and you now know as well as I do what I need to do this week for that issue...
 
@Elva I think you may want to touch up your resumé
Because people who spend half their work week without meaningful tasks generally don't stay around long
 
Heh, one: In a country with good employee protection laws. And two: I am basically the only person who knows the system we've been developing for the past 3 years... Despite my repeated advocating for having others be more involved
Sure, several people know parts of it.. but if something breaks I'm the one they get to fix it because I know all of the moving parts
So if they want to start a process of firing me, well good luck on them? I'm already keeping half an eye open for other jobs anyway

Q: What happens to grudges when their targets aren't available anymore

baudspWhen playing as a Dwarf faction, what happens to grudges that can't be completed anymore? For example if there's a grudge against a faction and that faction is destroyed or a grudge against a lord and the lord is killed by another faction.

Sooo, Desert Bus for Hope is really great people and there's a Trans Rights Supercut in the video archive

(Also, enby rights, ace rights and other human rights)
 
What does that have to do with Child's Play?
 
Cc @Ash @Elva
It's only regular nail polish, so it won't last long 😭 but I got gel thermal polish in mail today 😍
 
12:57 PM
Oh cute! :o
 
@Elva but did you see the video? It changeeeees colors 😍
 
Oh that's a super fast reaction :o
 
Yeah, it's pretty much instant
Can't wait to go freeze my hands off at work tonight (just kidding, I'd rather stay home, but at least I'll be amused by it)
 
Heh
 
Work is gonna destroy my nail polish 😭 but also it's the only place it really gets to shine
 
1:07 PM
Put on a dozen layers of clear coat!
 
@Elva that actually makes it more likely to be ruined
 
Oh
 
I did anyway tho 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
I dunno how it works, I'm currently just living vicariously through you
 
That's why I'm happy to share my nails here 😄
Have you tried clear coat yet?
Or just buffing your nails?
Some people also do "naked" colors, which is just skin tone nails

Q: Where's the Magnetic Field?

PhoenixI want to evolve my Charjabug, but I'm not sure which area is the supposed regional Magnetic Field. So, uh, where is it?

 
mmm, coffee
 
@Elva that's fair, the first time is quite stressful
Gets much easier after a while of wearing nail polish in public
At first I was kinda sketchy about keeping my hands where people could see them, but at this point it doesn't bother me at all
And no one has really said anything negative about it either
Sometimes there is a short double take when people first notice my painted nails, but nothing is ever said about it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why is the gain so low

Yes for sure lol
 
@Ash I got gel thermal polish today in mail, so once this one is ruined, I'll do gel and that will hopefully last a long time

They're under $2 per bottle on AliExpress
Now, they're not big bottles, but that's okay

Q: You have reached your question limit

HeronPlease explain me why my account is blocked when I asked for the logic of legend experience in Dying Light. What can I do to get back my account to healthy condition?

 
2:46 PM
@SepiaLazers do mods just have a standard thing they can copy paste to such questions? :o
 
@TimStone I kind of want to get an XAC and build a virtual pinball enclosure with it. Potentially a bit more expensive than an arduino virtual pinball controller kit, but much more flexible.
 
@Elva Not really.
 
Huh
 
I just knocked it out in the middle of doing other stuff.
 
@Frank You can at least see why they're rate limited, though, right?
 
2:47 PM
Well it's nicely done!
 
@MBraedley Isn't it always the same reason? Low scoring questions?
Or answers, I suppose
 
@MBraedley Yes. It's both good and bad news.
Good, it's easy to understand why.
Bad, because all the deleted questions are old, and inaccessible by them.
So they have no way to see what's contributed to the ban.
@Elva I totally missed a couple super important letters. Good catch, @Wrigglenite!
 
Just fixing small typos
 
That's a medium sized typo at least

Q: How do I evolve Leafeon or Glaceon?

PyritiePrevious games required an Eevee to be levelled up while near a Mossy Rock or an Icy Rock in order to evolve it to a Leafeon or Glaceon, respectively. Where do I find these two overworld objects in Sword and Shield?

 
2:52 PM
Now if we had headings in chat this is where I'd put "No, this is a medium sized tyop" in like... h3
 
I have made mistakes in the osrs twisted league
One of the relics gives you 3x as much stuff (no bonus exp) from harvesting activities
this includes barbarian fishing, where the product is useless and you just always drop everything
so I have to drop everything 3x as often this is so painful
I should have gone with "pick your own farming contracts and slayer assignments"
that sounds way cooler anyway why did I do this to myself
 
@Nzall Inside of you are two... rats? You should probably see a doctor, the recommended amount of rats inside of you is zero.

3:40 PM
@Yuuki looks like cats? Or foxes
 
@Elva Cats were going to be my second guess.
@Lazers2.0 You could always taint the needle and kill him with Hepatitis C.
 
@Yuuki CATS!
how do you even see rats there? 🤔
 
Yeah, they're not nearly cute enough to be rats

@Yuuki Well, I need something quick
 
4:25 PM
 
@GnomeSlice The problem with this is that's it's false equivalence.
Most people aren't going to sign up for every single streaming service.
 
It's just supposed to be funny but yes
 
@Frank At least not at the same time.
 
@MageXy Sign up for Netfix. Binge watch it all, sign up for Disney+, binge watch Mandalorian, etc., etc.
 
I think most people will pay for one service, binge whatever shows/movies they want to watch, then cancel and swap to another service.
 
4:33 PM
I'm considering swapping to Disney+ because I don't watch much on Netflix these days and Disney+ already has all their nature documentaries, which is the bulk of what I watch on Netflix anyways.
 
Does D+ have the "classic" TV shows from the 90s yet? Darking Duck, DuckTales, Chip & Dale, etc.
 
@MageXy I know it has Darkwing Duck

A: New tags page mangles tag wiki excerpts

Jeff Atwood The layout script, or whatever it is, tries to be clever, and removes some stuff in front of the tag excerpts to avoid repetition, presumably Correct. You can take a look at the tags on stackoverflow.com superuser.com serverfault.com (all page 1 only, for now) to get a sense of what th...

Specifically if one of the Bad Phrases™ appears within the first 40+n characters of the excerpt
 
I mean not wrong that, in general, "this tag is" should be excluded from excerpts, however, in particular,
 
@TimStone Wonderful
 
@TimStone Ooof, mmmhmm
 
(and extremely right that the "in general" case should be handled by editing the tag wiki excerpts but alas Jeff has helpfully done that work for us I guess)
 
The bar to editing tag wikis and their general lack of discoverability was so high that I guess this made sense from a quick and dirty practical perspective but as you can see many people disagreed with the decision
Also whew was that a long time ago
I'm not sure what it says that I remembered that existed 🤔
 
5:40 PM
My headcanon is that you just had this open as a tab this whole time just in case it came up
 
I mean essentially yes, in the browser of my brain
 
@TimStone I love the downvotes on that post
Oh SE, NEVER CHANGE.
 
Looks like they haven't

So I had hot pot for my birthday. May have had too much hot pot.
 
@Nzall Noone is going to comment on this?
 
Ave
@Nzall problem to me seems like there's no interesting outfits
not that there's no paid interesting outfits
 
@Ave True, but some people are conspiring that this was a deliberate move from EA execs to spite people
 
That always happens when it comes to EA.
Everybody's got an axe to grind, and to be fair, quite often EA deserves it.
See: Anthem/"Live Services"/etc., etc.

Q: Can I get Alolan Forms of pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Shield?

Paul O.In the Pokemon: Let's Go games, you could obtain Alolan forms of pokemon by trading with NPCs. Are there similar NPCs in Pokemon Sword and Shield, or some other way to obtain Alolan Pokemon?

@Yuuki 1. Happy birthday 2. This implies an existence of a limit to hot pot and I am skeptical of this claim

@murgatroid99 That one does not ring a bell.
 
@Frank It's on Kongregate if your browser still supports flash, and it's also free on Steam

I generally refer to it as "the one with the pope", if that triggers any memories
 
...sort of?
I think so.
 
9:28 PM
@Batophobia oh, that seems way too complicated for me
I'm really not good at games that require me to do urban planning at this scale
 
@Nzall It's more resource management than simply number-goes-up
 
@Batophobia yeah, that's not really my cup
 
the grid size doesn't get that big. I think it's like 5x5 max
 
@Batophobia Yeah, but I'm really shit at any urban planning that isn't simply Frostpunk-style "put down a building anywhere or directly next to a resource node and assign workers". I always end up putting down a building in just the wrong place and end up having to rebuild my entire layout an hour later because I can't fit in a building
 
You can move things at any time
and you'll have to to meet different requirements
 
9:37 PM
@Batophobia You're only making it less appealing
 
it's less building planning and more piecing components together to make a machine to achieve a certain goal
 
Isn't that just building planning?
Or rather, isn't building planning just putting components together to achieve a certain goal?
