Have you showered between then and now?

kalina

not in general

I dislike your desperate grabs at straws

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley Oh, I'm fully aware. The point of my comment was just to make clear to the poster of the question that even if his HDD is the issue with his performance, his proposed solution is absolutely awful and pointless.

kalina

in 1088 views, I have a question with 200k views

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh yes, of course

@kalina Woo!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@YiJiang'sEvilClone You do realize that Rent Control is longstanding policy in NYC and has been for nearly a century. It isn't some kind of wacky out of nowhere idea.

kalina

in 20 views, I have one with 10k views

how do I find out the most viewed question on arqade?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

12:10

@LessPop_MoreFizz I know. That doesn't make it good. You can find it in economics textbooks as examples of problems price ceilings can cause

Ben Brocka

@kalina use the views:# operator

It doesn't sort by most views but it excludes everything under that view count

a little trial and error and you'll find the highest view counts

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina Try using the data explorer

LessPop_MoreFizz

@YiJiang'sEvilClone And you can find it discussed in sociology and urban planning texts as a useful tool for achieving all sorts of other social goals.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I'm not sure what the feel about the noises he makes when turning the knobs

@kalina Watch one of the videos for bonus double entendre.

kalina

ahem

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley It's true. Clicking on .co.uk links is risky. You might find words sprouting extra vowels all over the place.

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz you mean correctly spelled words?

I know, crazy isn't it

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina Don't you mean "Correcteley spelled wourdes"?

fredley

12:19

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's a lot of groaning

@LessPop_MoreFizz There is no such thing as correct spelling

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley Tell that to @kalina

fredley

12:21

@kalina Incorrect syntax

OrigamiRobot

@kalina I rest easy with the delusion that giving you an outlet for your rage is helping you.

kalina

at least you understand that you're delusional

Martin Sojka

@LessPop_MoreFizz "correct-lice spellianed wordas" if you want to go to (roughly) Old English.

fredley

kalina

@fredley I would have expected --method to be 'fire'

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:23

@MartinSojka Not enough thorns.

fredley

Shit, what's @OrigamiRobot doing in my home?

kalina

he does that

Martin Sojka

@LessPop_MoreFizz Those words didn't have any (and "correct" is French anyway)

kalina

from what I've heard, anyway

fredley

LessPop_MoreFizz

12:25

@MartinSojka I know, but quite frankly, there's no point in using Old English if you don't get to use lots of thorns.

kalina

@fredley I am still extremely high

I want to go and sleep

fredley

@kalina You at work?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina Y'don't say.

kalina

I am at work

fredley

@kalina Excellent

kalina

12:25

otherwise I would be asleep

fredley

@kalina How do you deal with the smell?

kalina

@fredley what smell?

fredley

@kalina of weed

OrigamiRobot

Aww man, deleted messages? :(

djsmiley2k

sounds like a wonderful life

kalina

12:28

If I had one wish, it would be that @OrigamiRobot stopped starring all of the mundane things I say

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina Be thankful he doesn't have a button to pin them?

Martin Sojka

@LessPop_MoreFizz I could have used "gerihtan" instead of "correct" (I think it's related to German "gerecht", meaning "right", "equal" or "lawful"), but sadly it has no thorn either. :(

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz yawn

it's because of that douche that I don't!

LessPop_MoreFizz

@kalina Now it's time to go back and read the deleted things I missed!

kalina

You missed nothing important

It was just an anti-star measure

fredley

12:30

@kalina I missed all of that.

kalina

one of these days he'll get bored with starring messages that get deleted

@fredley well, it was enlightening

you will never know now, unfortunately

I will be back in a bit. Need to go drop off the car.

kalina

@MartinSojka lol

I'm fine with "it didn't happen"

I have returned from an epic quest to obtain coffee creamer for my mother

kalina

nooooooooooooo

I need more tv shows to watch

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Uh... Pushing Daisies?

kalina

sounds like a bad show

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

No, it's brilliant. A little old now, though.

kalina

when you say a little old

do you mean as old as @LessPop_MoreFizz or as old as @agent86?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

No, I mean 2007 old

It only lasted two seasons

kalina

12:51

2007 is ages old

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

(I thought it was older than that, hmmm)

kalina

too much death in that show

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Maybe. But not much more than your usual criminal procedure show

kalina

not a huge fan of stuff like CSI either

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It's superficially similar.

@djsmiley2k You need to be running Direwolf20 5.2

djsmiley2k

mmmmm what?

@OrigamiRobot Ah. I've started a BioFuel extension to my tree setup, got the machines in place just need to add the engines

@djsmiley2k Did you read the meta post?

@fredley don't be silly, that'd be sensible

fredley

@djsmiley2k Have you got the FTB launcher running?

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Yea I did it backwards :P

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Ha, how did you even get that much biomass without a tree farm?

OrigamiRobot

Luckily, biomass lasts forever

@fredley I've been stealing @Unionhawk's

fredley

@OrigamiRobot I'm distilling mine to BioFuel

@OrigamiRobot Ah, cunning

OrigamiRobot

13:31

@fredley I might, but I might not bother.

Unionhawk

@fredley I've got an infinite supply of saplings, essentially...

OrigamiRobot

@Unionhawk I've stopped because my setup could burn through all your saplings faster than you can produce them.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot I believe it...

djsmiley2k

@fredley ah there we go.

fredley

@Unionhawk Me too. It's a pity it doesn't balance with apples so that you can run the fermenters on apple juice for higher efficiency

@djsmiley2k Select direwolf20 from the left hand side

SaintWacko

13:34

@OrigamiRobot I like them because I'll be able to actually roll them without damaging things

Unionhawk

@fredley It doesn't balance perfectly, but I ran it with apple juice all right. I had to wait a few times for the apples to refill, but other than that...

fbueckert

Good morning, Bridge

fredley

@Unionhawk I found it wasn't going nearly fast enough, My saplings were overflowing

Unionhawk

Okay, it doesn't even balance well, but, apples give a lot of mulch, so...

SaintWacko

Morning, @fbueckert

fbueckert

13:35

It's been snowing for close to 24 hours now.

fredley

@Unionhawk Yeah I'm mulching and using water to fuel fermenters

djsmiley2k

hmmmm there we go

OrigamiRobot

I can't decide whether I want to run mine on mulch or fertilizer.

fredley

@Unionhawk Voiding the apple juice

djsmiley2k

I have it 7.5gb ram :LD

fredley

13:36

@OrigamiRobot Mulch. Save the fertilizer for the farm

@djsmiley2k ign?

OrigamiRobot

@fredley They're both a pain.

I don't want to make both

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Store up fertilizer stuff then for when you need it, just make mulch from apples

At the end of the day, using apples is much more self-sufficient, since they're a by-product of the farm anyway

OrigamiRobot

@fredley Doesn't mulch need dirt to make with apples?

I'd rather get mulch from a wheat farm.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Nope

Just put apples in squeezer

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot No, just apples in a squeezer yields (a lot of) mulch and apple juice.

OrigamiRobot

13:39

Hmmmm

fredley

Go look at my setup

@Unionhawk For (some) read (way more than enough)

djsmiley2k

@fredley not white listed, my nick is djsmiley I think :/

just that reminded me

fredley

@OrigamiRobot @OrigamiRobot It scales proportional to the size of your farm...

OrigamiRobot

I am currently running at 1/12th planned production.

@fredley I'll need multiple farms.

One would need to be too big I think.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Still, the number of apples you get will scale, if you use fertilizer you have to worry about keeping the supply topped up from your quarries

OrigamiRobot

@fredley I'm not even talking about fertilizer anymore. I'm talking about mulch sources.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot Oh I see. Apples will give you enough. End of story.
