Q: Why can't I equip the "Hunter's Vest"?

I just made a "Hunter's Vest", but the game didn't ask me to automatically equip it. When I went to my stash to try to equip manually, I got this message. Your Hunter Type can't use this equipment. What does that mean? Why can't I use the armor I just bought? Is there any way to tell when t...

Q: What are "slots" in items?

Every equippable item in the game seems to have "slots". There are 3 symbols, and the ones I have seen so far are a circle or a dash. It looks like a circle is an open "slot" and a dash is the non-existence of a slot, but I can't be sure. What are these "slots" for?

Q: How to get Reisminimap waypoints from inside the .minecraft folder

So I read this Where does Rei's Minimap store your waypoints? And I did what it said, but when I tried to open the POINTS files it either said it was empty or it wasnt supported. Please help.

So much stupid.

user15026

I am stuck in Luigi's Mansion already :(

user15026

@Ullallulloo "Critics have pointed out that a square flapjack has more sharp corners than a triangle shaped one."

user15026

"This is not the first time flapjacks have been banned for being a risk."

user15026

WHAT

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn Supposedly they were banned from cabinet meetings in the UK, although there's no good sources on that.

FEichinger

12:34 AM

I know kids across the board have gradually become more stupid ... But managing to hurt others with flapjacks? ... Good lord.

user15026

@FEichinger I don't even see how you could cause any sort of serious injury with a pancake.

user15026

Flapjack (oat bar)

A flapjack is a sweet tray-baked oat bar made from rolled oats, butter, brown sugar and golden syrup. This dish is found in the United Kingdom, Ireland and also in Australasia, but known there as a "cereal bar". In other countries, including Canada, the United States, and South Africa, flapjack refers to a form of pancake, and similar products are referred to as "granola bars". Overview In the UK, Ireland, and Newfoundland a flapjack is a baked bar, cooked in a flat oven tin and cut into rectangles, made from rolled oats, fat (typically butter), brown sugar and usually golden syrup. ...

Ullallulloo

Supposedly "flapjack" is UKnoid for granola bar.

user15026

Unless that is what they mean

user15026

and even so

FEichinger

12:35 AM

Obviously they mean UK flapjacks not US flapjacks ...

user15026

@FEichinger I didn't know that flapjacks were different

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger I've never heard of UK flapjacks before.

FEichinger

...

user15026

I can't imagine a granola bar being a terribly effective weapon

FEichinger

I'm just gonna cry in a corner for a couple of minutes.

Ullallulloo

12:36 AM

That would have disappointed me so much if I went to eat out for breakfast in the UK.

user15026

@FEichinger pats, gives tissues

user15026

@Ullallulloo I know, right?

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Depending on how crispy they make them, they can be pretty hard hitters.

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger Sorry that we don't know every foreign food, especially when we already have one named that.

FEichinger

And if you do get one in the eye ... That hurts like hell.

user15026

12:37 AM

@FEichinger I suppose so. Although cutting them into bars just means more sharp corners, yeah?

FEichinger

@Ullallulloo The article even has a photo of them, though!

user15026

I just think the fact that the issue is with the shape is silly

user15026

@FEichinger tbh, I didn't get the photo to load

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger Which is the only reason I realized.

@FEichinger Anything can hit people hard. You cannot ban everything.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn Well, the smaller angles can, for instance, penetrate deeper.

@Ullallulloo Did I say I agree with the decision? I'd be hella pissed if I got a flapjack in the eye.

Ullallulloo

12:39 AM

@FEichinger I'd be angry if I got anything in the eye.

FEichinger

But that's it.

@Ullallulloo 'xactly.

Ullallulloo

One reason I'm really glad I have perfect eyesight so I don't have to wear contacts. :P

FEichinger

There was this one time I got a weighted tennis ball in the eye ... from 50m away.

Ullallulloo

"We often come across half-baked decisions taken in the name of health and safety, but this one takes the biscuit.

Coronus

@FEichinger Was it a triangular tennis ball?

FEichinger

12:40 AM

@Coronus No, it was in fact a round one. But tennis balls are mean.

Coronus

@FEichinger Yes. I have never met a tennis ball that showed me the least amount of mercy.

FEichinger

50. Meters. Away. ... How people manage to aim like that, I do not know.

user15026

I have been hit with so many things in the face, and various other bits of me - my body seems to fail to understand the command "Move the hell away!"

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flapjacks.jpg <- Cut these in triangles and slam them into your face, sharp corner front. That's dangerous, girl!

user15026

@FEichinger Yes, but so are squares, rhomboids, and any other pointed shape ever.

user15026

12:43 AM

Why are we slamming them into faces is likely a better question.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I'm having spring onion flatbread for breakfast

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn As I said: Kids are getting stupider every day.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Well, I think flatbread is an adequate description

@FEichinger Because you keep smacking them with flapjacks

FEichinger

@YiJiang'sEvilClone No, we don't!

user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That sounds yummy

user15026

12:46 AM

user15026

That is a phrase I never thought I would put in a question, ever.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn > TEXT <-- Mind the gap.

Coronus

You lost me at "sucking on the ceiling fan"... >_<

user15026

@Coronus giggles What can I say, I like what I like.

Ullallulloo

TIL that you can't make platonic solids soley out of regular hexagons or more complex polygons because they can tessallate.

FEichinger

12:51 AM

"Innuendo Mania" so has to be a thing ...

user15026

@Ullallulloo I am going to pretend that those were words that I understood.

user15026

@FEichinger Meep? Are you referring to me?

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn No, of course not.

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn Soccer balls are broken.

Hexagon

In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ hex, "six" and γονία, gonía, "corner, angle") is a polygon with six edges and six vertices. A regular hexagon has Schläfli symbol {6}. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720°. Hexagonal structures From bees' honeycombs to the Giant's Causeway, hexagonal patterns are prevalent in nature due to their efficiency. In a hexagonal grid each line is as short as it can possibly be if a large area is to be filled with the fewest number of hexagons. This means that honeycombs require less wax to construct and gain lots of strength under compre...

user15026

@FEichinger I suspect that is a lie.

Ullallulloo

12:53 AM

They no fold good.

FEichinger

@Ullallulloo I don't think soccer balls are meant to be folded.

user15026

@Ullallulloo Ah, the pictures help :)

Ullallulloo

Like these do

FEichinger

But then again, I'm not a sports person.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Okay, at these prices I might as well buy my own paint and stencil the design on the shirt myself rather than buying it

FEichinger

12:54 AM

@AshleyNunn The probability of this statement being true approaches 1.

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger What if you want to make your own soccer ball out of polygons?

user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone What do you want to make?

FEichinger

@Ullallulloo Why would I do that?

I'd emulate a hexagon, simple as that.

user15026

@FEichinger Better answer, why not?

Ullallulloo

@FEichinger I don't know. I don't play soccer.

FEichinger

12:55 AM

... So, we're discussing something we have no involvement in for ... what reason?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@AshleyNunn Twilight butt tattoo design. The "official" one from WeLoveFine is US$25 excluding shipping, and they couldn't even get the color of the shirt right

user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Link, because I suspect what I am imagining is not even remotely right.

user15026

@FEichinger Because folding and soccer balls.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn WHY WOULD YOU FOLD SOCCER BALLS?!?!!??!?!?!?

user15026

@FEichinger Why not?

Ullallulloo

12:57 AM

@FEichinger Soccer balls was just an interesting byproduct.

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn What would be the benefit of it?

user15026

@FEichinger Compact, easy to store!

Coronus

@FEichinger How would I know? I don't play soccer.

Ullallulloo

I was trying to predict how many sides larger dice would have, but you can only go up to 12 like that.

FEichinger

facepalm

user15026

12:58 AM

@Ullallulloo So octagons don't fold either?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@AshleyNunn welovefine.com/890-twilight-sparkle-cutie-mark.html

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn no

user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Wow, that purple is so wrong

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn Don't try to make a soccer ball out of stop signs. It won't work.

user15026

@Ullallulloo Weeeeird. Shapes are bizarre.

user15026

12:58 AM

@Ullallulloo Awwwwww there goes my evening of FUN

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Because for goodness sake if you're going to sell a shirt for $25 at least get the color right

Coronus

@Ullallulloo Of course not, because stop signs are large and metal.

Ullallulloo

Octagon

In geometry, an octagon (from the Greek ὀκτάγωνον oktágōnon, "eight angles") is a regular polygon that has eight sides. A regular octagon is represented by the Schläfli symbol {8}. Regular octagon A regular octagon is a closed figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. It has eight lines of reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 8. The internal angle at each vertex of a regular octagon is 135° and the sum of all the internal angles is 1080° (as for any octagon). The area of a regular octagon of side length a is given by :A = 2 \cot \frac{\pi...

@Coronus Soccer might be more interesting if soccer balls were large and metal.

Q: How do I get the Strobulb?

I realize that the strobulb is on the chandelier, and I can get the chandelier to go down by sucking on the ceiling fan, so then I run down and try to suck the strobulb off the chandelier from the bottom floor when it is lowered...and nothing seems to work. Am I just not sucking properly? How do ...

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

These are mesmerizing

Coronus

@Ullallulloo It's the triangles. Did you know that they're banned in the UK now?

Ullallulloo

@Coronus Clearly for good reason. Someone could get hit in the eye.

user15026

@Coronus Triangles. So dangerous.

Ullallulloo

@AshleyNunn Triangles. Not even once.

user15026

At least we're doing something about potential weaponry!

Look at the US, they can't even get real weaponry right!

SimonL

if triangles are banned in the uk, does that mean iron man 2 is also banned?

Coronus

This, my friends, makes it perfectly clear why we should demand truncated cuboctahedron flapjacks.

FEichinger

@SimonL Imports aren't affected. The new ban is only on local products.

Coronus

Home time. Good night everyone.

Q: Should I still shake the lights?

In Luigi's Mansion a trick to get a bit of extra money was to shake every light; hanging lights could often be spun around, then releasing a bunch of cash after being spun enough. Lights don't seem to spin at all in Dark Moon. Are lights no longer treasure-keepers?
