Maid Café (メイド喫茶)

@arda true but since when is anyone able to correctly guess another's gender

if i was to be picky i would complain when people said guys when i'm around because i'm a maiden

i seem to recall an internet rule that states that everyone on the internet is a guy

arda

I'll go ahead and write an answer.

Hakase

the whole thing started because OP doesn't know that guys is not gender specific

Memor-X

well my computer may have blown but my mum wont let me test to see if it can startup or not

Hakase

if it produced an audible explosion then it might not start up

Memor-X

@Hakase there was a burst and a light and i smell something like if it's burnt. if i could confirm if it starts up or not i could then start tomorrow looking to see where i could get it repaired

Riley

12:14

@Memor-X Somehow I expected a bigger rant

Hakase

@Memor-X quite possibly the power unit

iirc you're in australia so you might wanna check for bugs inside it

Memor-X

@Hakase yeh, what i think is the power unit seems to be the source of the smell. can't see anything though

Hakase

gonna have to take it out and look inside

Memor-X

@Hakase the best i can do is take it out but i rather not open it up incase if i void any warrenty

given it's been like 6 years since i brought it

Dimitri mx

yoho

Hakase

12:22

6 years seems like it expired twice

but idk better call the shop

maybe you can still fix it for free, who knows

(the shop might)

Memor-X

@Hakase it was a custom build from a market guy. i do still have his card so i might call tomorrow to see if he's still in the business

Hakase

if it was a custom build then the warranty probably never held power

separate components could still be up for warranty repairs though, if you have the papers for them

Memor-X

@Hakase i'm just hoping it's just the power supply. that can be replaced

if any components other than that also blew, might need a new computer itself

Hakase

otherwise just buy a new power supply unit, it's probably gonna be cheaper than calling up the guy and paying him to do it for you

arda

I need to record a video of me reading this answer, it'd be great

Hakase

12:25

hmm I don't think you can diagnose it easily if you suspect everything else might be dead

Memor-X

@Hakase i'd rather call the guy to do it if he can. i have multiple fans and lights it connects to. especially if he can check everything else

Hakase

I remember there were pci diagnostic cards which showed you some codes that meant which parts had issues but I don't think that would work if the mobo is defective

hmm alright

sounds reasonable

Memor-X

luckilly most of my stuff is on a portable harddrive which i backed up like a month ago. but i do loose all my progress in my visual novels and emulators

also don't really want to upgrade to windows 10 for my main offline PC

Hakase

better set up a cloud sync for those save files

Memor-X

@Hakase i can't. offline PC

Hakase

12:27

ah

a horrible fate

then just multiple usb drives

should be good enough

Memor-X

@arda for a moment i thought the new answer by seth was you

@Hakase if the main harddrive is gone then it'll be pointless but here's hoping

hard drives are usually good enough not to die from this stuff

A: Gender exclusive language and moderator abuse

I can understand how terrible being discriminated... ...but you are not being discriminated. "Guy" is not gender specific. Guy is gender-neutral when talking about a group of people. 1.1 (guy) People of either sex Reason of removal of gender specific parts SEN is a platform where everyo...

Hakase

well, I guess we'll know

I think enough has been said already on that post

I have nothing to add

except I could rephrase it shorter but there are already answers like that too

goddamit why does .net do the file name ordering differently from windows

now I gotta find some sorting algos to fix it

arda

12:40

I really hate getting into gender equality discussions on stackexchange

Riley

@arda I hate getting into gender equality issues anywhere, everything you say is wrong and offends someone else

It's like they want to be offended

arda

On other parts of internet, I can say stuff like "you are not a feminist, you are a disgrace to us, you damage our public image" but I'd get suspended if I said that in SE.

Hakase

@Riley which they do

remember not everybody has fun in a way that doesn't cause trouble to others

Riley

@Hakase True that :/

Hakase

also I think the word feminism has gotten a "female supremacism" meaning in the last years, so I prefer to use the term "equalism" which doesn't have a confusing meaning to it

it's like a lot of people confuse atheism with agnosticism

or don'tgiveafuckism

Riley

12:46

I didn't even know agnosticism was a thing until a few years ago

Hakase

coz sometimes people haven't really thought of something like that coz they just didn't have it brought up as a topic of a conversation

guess you could call it don'tknowwachutalkinboutism

just give things straightforward names and it's gonna be alright

arda

@Hakase yes. I personally say the message above to all people thinking that way

Ah, unsolicited life lessons. This is certainly what we lacked in this thread. — ayhan 1 min ago

sigh

If you need a life lesson, I'll go ahead and give that. IDC if you want it or not.

Q: Why so few Iwatobi Swim Club members?

In the first season of Free!, the three main swimmers of Iwatobi Swim Club could only manage to add one new swimmer, Rei. (Gou, while a member, was not a swimmer.) In the second season, even though it was an active and ongoing goal, they never managed to add anyone else. While the issue was not...

free

Hakase

and then they remembered the hitler and nazis law

which is for some reason called after some completely random dude which only adds more questions instead of answering what that law is about

this is what I call bad naming

or confusing naming to be more descriptive of its badness :p

Q: Documentation Update, September 12th

This is the fourth post in our series of regular (roughly weekly) updates on the Documentation Beta. See also the previous post in the series. Shipped Changes Proposed Changes Review Queue It finally happened. We're still working through a bunch of little bugs, so keep the reports/upvotes ...

discussion featured documentation

a cool update in my opinion

arda

@Hakase feminazi :P

Hakase

13:04

reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/52i96e/… jeeesus christ man she really wants to marry that guy already

I wonder why he hasn't proposed yet

there might be a good reason

after all, marriage is a legal obligation, and weddings cost a shitton of money

commenters don't seem to even think that there might be any reasons he hasn't proposed yet other than he's just stupid

he could've gone and bought the ring the same day

Unihedron

maybe he's living in a romcom world

Hakase

definitely seems like it

with the several other situations like that

or maybe he's just in it for the upvotes and it's all made up, I would not be surprised

Riley

@Hakase 95% of TIFU

Hakase

it's pure entertainment

Dimitri mx

13:53

@arda I just can't understand why people would bitch about something so simple

Next time a woman calls me 'man' ill be offended. I ain't no man. I am a boy at heart!

Matt

Afternoon~

Matt

@Hakase Hahaha, that is good

Hakase

aiming 2 pls

@Dimitrimx I was at a store returning an item yesterday and the lady called me a man to somebody over the phone, I felt uncomfortable

arda

14:29

I mean, some words do make me uncomfortable too, but I don't go around vandalizing my post, making a meta and contacting se.

Hakase

a guy was a dick to me in comments on SO once, I flagged it and he got suspended :p

I didn't really feel uncomfortable during the whole thing though

Dimitri mx

Yep, new policy. Lets just include ALL genders in each and every question so non shall be offended ever again.

Riley

@Dimitrimx I never knew there were so many different type of Unowns

Hakase

that is by definition offensive to non-genders

Riley

Ah damn, they already made the joke in the image ;.;

Dimitri mx

14:34

@Riley this is but the begining

Ayase Eri

Hakase

Dimitri mx

I identify as will of fire.

Hakase

you were supposed to say "limb o"

Dimitri mx

@Hakase Those can identify as a turn off

Riley

I dentify as a Demi-god

Hakase

I don't identify

arda

@Dimitrimx I identify as a mayonnaise

@Riley dammit

Dimitri mx

I wonder how gender Identification would be handled at the identification SE

arda

@Dimitrimx I feel bad for laughing at that

Poor @dragan

Dimitri mx

Riley

@Dimitrimx One has the gun in front and the other does.

Dimitri mx

@Riley But what about bi-propelar's ?

Hakase

how about dyson bladeless propellers?

Riley

@Hakase Those are fucking magic

Matt

@Dimitrimx hahaha, "Nurgle"

arda

@Hakase I hate those

Hakase

14:40

@Riley there's just a cooler hidden in its base

@arda are you bladeist?

arda

My arms are so weak that those make my hands fly off

Not like I'm a robot b-baka!

Hakase

bladeists sounds like those kids who cut themselves with razors

arda

A: Is there a full explanation to the purpose and use of this site?

This proposal is a non-starter on several levels. If a community can make their "identify this…" questions work, great! But if a community cannot make these questions work in their own subject space, gathering them all up into one un-scoped site isn't going to make them work any better. There h...

Hakase

ye turns out that actually reduces the total air flow coz the air generated by the propeller has some obstacles in its way in the shape of the "bladeless" circular part

in terms of getting the air flow straightened out though it's a great help

it's a real aerodynamic conundrum to figure out how to use these things to ventilate a room efficiently

arda

Oooh

Hakase

most of the times it's just easier to stick a big-ass fan into a window and make it suck in all the outside air into the room

arda

14:44

I meant the Dyson hand cleaner thingies

Dimitri mx

@Hakase or AC

@arda Oh you mean the germ blaster 5000

Hakase

oh no those suck balls and then spit the ball juices all over everybody's hands

arda

The fans aren't in Turkey but the dyson hand thingies are in every single mall

Hakase

I read an article that explained how it's completely disastrous in terms of hygiene

Dimitri mx

iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/…

Hakase

14:46

basically it just disperses bacteria and shit'n'piss particles all over the bathroom instead of safely drying your hands

ya

Taisho

Dimitri mx

@Hakase They even made a little experiment where they would highlight the germs as such. And see how they go. It looked like a mini nuclear explosion.

Riley

@Dimitrimx link?

Hakase

well, those are usually pretty exaggerating coz the bacteria just flourishes in an otherwise sterile environment, but in reality it contacts other bacteria that's already present on your body and it doesn't grow nearly as fast

arda

15:06

And I wish there would be only one gender (actually, I don't) so we would not have to deal with stupidities like this. As a female I am sick and tired of other females overreacting to completely benign stuff. Get over it. If you feel the need to go around and yell "I am a girl" then first it is you the one with gender issues, and second don't be surprised if you stir up responses of any kind. — Dalija Prasnikar 4 hours ago

Hakase

people will always find differences to argue about

Ayase Eri

Sometimes those bacterias take it further by conspiring against you

Dimitri mx

@AyaseEri whats the bacterias gender? if they are female that is sexist :|

Riley

@Dimitrimx They are not on the chart, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Dimitri mx

@Riley ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11624415

or if you rather have a chart

Riley

15:17

I'm confused

It's too warm for this

Winter, save me

pls

Dimitri mx

Riley

That abstract text in the article could just be gone and make no difference

Dimitri mx

or the sexist variant

Riley

Ayase Eri

@Dimitrimx If they are male then that is sexist too :|

Btw, anyone plays Panzer Waltz?

It is like Kancolle Tank Ver.

Android game

Riley

@AyaseEri And what's Kancolle?

Ayase Eri

Riley

Girls in matching outfits at an construction yard?

I like the outfits tho

Kantai (Fleet Girls) Collection was a web browser game with the characters based on WWII Japanese Warships

Riley

15:27

I'll take a look when I'm home, @Dimitrimx "tried" to explain it to me and made everything much worse

@AyaseEri Ah, that actually explains stuff, thanks.

Ayase Eri

It has the anime too.

Btw, the girl in the image posted by Dimitri mx is Shimakaze, the fastest destroyer in the game (and during WWII)

Q: How much does the light novel of Re:Zero differ from the anime at the end of episode 21?

In the anime, there is a touching scene between Subaru and Rem. But according to a person who's supposedly read the light novel, the producers changed this scene. In the light novel, Rem faked her death (she pretends as if she was dying in Subaru's arms) with the goal to hear his deepest feeling...

Q: Why fade out meta answers that have high down-vote count?

This tag is for questions specific to down-votes, the community's way of telling peers that their content can be improved. Down-votes on meta site have different meanings. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/down-votes It seems that people use the down-vote button differently...

discussion down-votes meta

> The effect of fading a user's meta answer takes a minority voice and makes it even quieter. This is unfair, imo.

If people are going to scroll down, they'll probably bother hovering over the your post.

Toshinou Kyouko
