After listening to the whole thing, I can confirm I am more awake now than I was 12 minutes ago.
@LoganM This is what wakes me up:
Damn thumbnail ruins the whole thing. lol
Good luck falling asleep after hearing that for an hour.
@Eric I can't say I've listened to nyan cat for an hour strait, but I am 8 hours into this video, which is quite possibly even more difficult to fall asleep to:
@LoganM What the.. what am I watching!? What am I hearing!? WHY ARE MY SENSES DYING SO QUICKLY!? It's like I've lapsed 40 years in my life.
@Eric Very likely. This is advanced stuff. I don't recommend it to newbies.
I can see why. They'd lose their ability to reply.
23:13
So anyway, how is Madara doing in the election?
He's 10th.
Out of 27.
Not bad, but he'll need to improve quite a bit to get into top 4.
(I found voting stats on the election chat room)
@LoganM Couldn't you just.. log in to see them?
OMG, Neal is at +6. Wtf?
@Eric I don't even have an SO account, and voting stats for elections are a 1k privilege
Maybe in the second phase. Primaries require only 150 to vote. Anyone registered can see them, I think.
23:19
I guess technically he only needs to be in the top 10 to make it past the primary, but if he's last place among those 10 there's not much chance getting into the top 4 in the election.
@Eric I can see the candidates without registering. I registered just now to test, but I still can't see the vote totals.
@LoganM Oh, nuts.
@LoganM I enjoyed the smooth jazz ver
@Krazer lol, My friend does homework that in the background.
@Krazer Personally I prefer this version:
23:40
@Eric Probably there are a few people voting just based on rep or who they've seen around.
@LoganM Yeah, or just upvoting everyone.
What I want to know is what did he mean by "I will give you that I am not the best people person, but not everyone is, but that does not make them a good choice to be a moderator."
I think he's saying he's not good at interacting with users, but there are good moderators who also have that trait.
Terribly, terribly phrased. But I think that's what he meant. lol
That doesn't inspire confidence at all. To me it sounds like he's saying "I don't have any qualifications, but you should ignore the qualified people and vote for me."
Precisely.
23:44
Also " I know how to deal with people (sometimes)" <- the parenthetical note here really kills any merit I would have given him for that paragraph.
@LoganM Indeed. I wonder what his résumé looks like.
"Good skills with C and C++ (sometimes)"
"Meets expectations (sometimes)"
@Krazer Exactly, lol.
Why is every external HDD over 4TB insanely expensive? :(
@Eric Because they are.
I think the biggest internals are 4TB.
Anymore than that is usually 2 or more drives.
I found an 8TB. But it's $1,049.
23:55
I can build an 8TB for $700 or less.
Yeah, exactly.
The 4TB drives are bout $350 + a dual-slot enclosure.
newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145596 is the cheapest 4TB I can find. I don't know if I trust the quality, though.
IMO 3TB is the best bang for your buck. It's enough space that by the time you fill it up (at least at the rate I go at) prices will have dropped a bit. But it's large enough that you get some sort of bulk discount.
My Anime archive is a 2 x 3TB internal in an enclosure.
The 3TB drives were about $130 each at the time. (pre-Thailand floods)
23:59
@Mysticial How much was the enclosure?
$80 or so.
