@twobugs Speaking of mosquitoes, I'm surprised at the relative lack of mosquitoes recently given the recent floods.
Although... how long does it take for a mosquito to mature?
@twobugs two mosquitos
@Yuuki It takes a while, and they need standing water, which I imagine they don't really have much of despite the flooding
Yesh, the water needs to basically be completely still
Yeah, we have a lot of standing water in Houston.
Drainage is still a problem in a lot of places.
Well, it does take a while
14:05
@Yuuki Very fast. Less than a week IIRC
The new Batman is pretty fun
#fun

My spider sorcerer died last night.
...huh?
D&D. I've mentioned the character here before.
14:09
Ah
@StrixVaria Yeah, you gave him weapon focus. You should have seen this coming
I was RPing a high-charisma low-wisdom character by bluffing/intimidating my way through every conversation.
I intimidated the wrong person.
YOU CAME TO THE WRONG NEIGHBORHOOD.
I pretended to yield after he hit me, then did a charge attack with a longspear from spiderback, which as a sorcerer even though it landed was not the smartest, and then he killed me.
It was fun.
14:11
Fantasy RPG characters are so violent.
They need to use their words, and merely beat into submission
It's like murder isn't a crime or something!
Well he was the village elder, so I guess in that town he is the law.
I was also a sorcerer engaging in melee combat with a fighter 3 levels higher than me.
I AM THE LAW
Never pick a fight with Judge Dredd
And the rest of the party was trying to restrain me rather than help me.
(Hence me yielding and surprise charge attacking from spiderback.)
Oh man
The party just lost serious face
They just stood there while one of them got murdered
Bros before elders
14:13
No, they did their best to save me. But he hit me so I wasn't going to let that slide.
True friends would resurrect you so you could murder him in his sleep
I was tired of that character anyway. I didn't intentionally get killed (I planned to expeditious retreat-enhanced run away after the charge attack, but didn't survive long enough), but I don't mind rolling a new non-awful character.
Now that a POE expansion/update is in the pipe, I feel like I should just not bother with that game until the new stuff hits
I wanna play D&D now.
So, in a week, we'll (hopefully) find out if Aksys's 4infinity.co site was teasing the next Zero Escape game or not.
14:18
@badp So apparently where I work has millions of lines of COBOL in other applications... And all the COBOL developers are getting old... >_>
On a scale from "NONONONONONONONO" to "Yeah, okay, that might provide some slightly more guaranteed way to gain a full-time position", how bad of an idea is me approaching that rabbit hole
@Unionhawk Once you start on COBOL, you will do nothing but COBOL for the rest of your life.
@Unionhawk I've never used COBOL. I think the main question you want to consider, though, is whether you want to enjoy what you do for work, or whether you just want to treat work as a time-suck that gives you money and you'll endure whatever it is.
It's good job security, but... yeah.
Hmm
So, like... 3?
Oh man, I missed my chance to make a no parents Batman joke.
@fredley I think that last one is Photoshopped, but I hope against all hope that it isn't.
@Yuuki Sadly, I think it is
Damn, that would've been gorgeous.
But also:
Deploy the dockboat. They'll never see it coming.
14:28
@twobugs It's like an aircraft carrier but boats
@fredley a boat carrying aircraft carriers
I can't remember the last time I've seen this few people in the Bridge.
Not even 2 full lines of avatars?
Really? This seems like the usual number of participants
it's @Wipqozn's fault
14:29
@StrixVaria I see three, but maybe that's because of screen resolution
@StrixVaria I've got 2.5
2.5 is more accurate. 1440x900 screen
Hm...maybe I'm just comparing what I'm used to from my smaller home monitor to what I see on my bigger work monitor.
Bridge full again
I've got 1
When... I stretch the bridge across 2 monitors
14:32
@Unionhawk Your browser bridges two monitors?
I can make it do so if I make it not full screen and just manually stretch the window
@Unionhawk whoosh
Note to self: do not stretch browser across three monitors. My head hurts.
GODDAMMIT I HATE YOU GUYS
>:(
14:33
Bridge empty
oh friday...
It's all perspective though. Is the Bridge half full or half empty?
@fredley Given that a virtual chatroom has room for an infinite number of participants, the bridge is empty, since anything divided by infinity is zero
14:35
B+ for effort.
@PrivatePansy Isn't there a rule against dividing by infinity?
Really
This is the same logic H2G2 used to prove that the universe is indeed completely devoid of people, and any that you may come across are just the products of your deraged mind
14:36
I mean, the population density of the universe is 0 and the average population of a given body is 0
Hello guys, I would like your help finding an old game. If I'm correct, it is should be a puzzle ame with some sort of extendable tank. It can extend itself, then grab walls with some sort of grapling hooks and if needed ride those hooks. That's mostly all I can remember :/ Any ideas?
user15026
Huh, today boss is buying pizza and wings for the office, so I didn't even need my stupid lunch that leaked all over.
Forgive me my poor drawing skills :D
> Arithmetic operators - add, subtract, divide, multipy, raise to the power of - are defined on a particular set of numbers: such as real numbers, or complex numbers.

The set you use for definition, will determine what you can and can't say meaningfully. Typically (but not always), infinity is excluded from that set.
10
A: One divided by Infinity?

EnergyNumbersyou could say that $\frac{1}{\infty} = 0$, so $1-\frac{1}{\infty} = 1$. But then, you're stretching the definition of division past breaking point - division as you know it isn't defined for infinity, so the answer is undefined. Otherwise you can quickly get yourself into a pickle and end up sayi...

Q: Different version With No caves & mobs?

Richard YenMy MCPE version is 0.11.1, but the pocketmine shows that it's running the 0.11.0 ver. That was so weird but I can still login. I changed my gamemode into spectator mode and looked around, There's No Mobs and No Caves. Can anyone explain why, and how can I fix it. Thank you.

14:37
@Yuuki limit as n goes to infinity of x/n for any real x is 0
@Unionhawk But that's a limit.
@Yuuki you're a limit
user15026
has no idea what is going on, because numbers
The division itself is undefined, but can be understood to be the same as the limit
As n approaches 0 the stupidity of your face approaches infinite
14:40
WOW
UNCALLED FOR
@AshleyNunn Basically, the argument is that infinity is more of a concept than a number so you can't add, subtract, multiply, or divide with it.
INSULTS TO YOUR FACE IS NEVER UNCALLED FOR
@Yuuki Right, and the argument I'm making is "shut up I know the limit isn't technically the same thing but I don't care."
@PrivatePansy this is true
My face is pretty stupid
Ha, I'm looking through the /r/batman subreddit. These people are just about as delusional as the Joker.
> Batman is super stable mentally and physically
Latter? Yes. Former? HahahahahahahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH‌​AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Batman has arguably the best superpower, and also the worst: super popularity.
He's so popular that people like him without really understanding him
user15026
14:45
I've never really liked him but I've only like watched a couple of the movies
Batman and Joker are such an iconic duo because, the thing is, Batman is the Joker. It just so happens that his lunatic obsession puts him on the side of the heroes.
Batman's superpower is that he's f--king insane.
You have to be to do the things that he does.
No, I'm pretty sure his superpower is he's loaded.
@Unionhawk Okay, his superpower is that he's loaded and batshit crazy.
Maybe literally on the second one too!
\o/
That would explain it
Batman is boring.

Q: Can I still interrogate an informant that fights back?

Jeff MercadoA new mechanic was introduced in this game. In previous games, interrogating an informant would always reveal locations of Riddler puzzles. However this time, there's a chance where an informant would fight back and attack you. Countering the attack seems to always knock him out. I think when...

THINK ABOUT IT
user15026
@StrixVaria This has always been my feeling but I didn't know if I was just missing something because I didn't really interact with it
14:49
GG US of A
user15026
@Unionhawk Oh, I followed the logic, no worries
cc @Unionhawk. I know you've been wanting some good news from your country after the past couple weeks
@Wipqozn Has the GOP backlash happened already?
@StrixVaria I think he can be good, but he can also be bad. It's more about who is writing him
@Yuuki Probably
14:50
@Yuuki They've been pregaming the backlash for a couple weeks now
@twobugs I always find Ironman more interesting than Batman.
Wasn't there some crazy Republican judge that said the Supreme Court has no say in legal matters in the US or something?
With shit like "well we'll pass an amendment" (when you need 75% support to do that and I seriously doubt they have that kind of support)
They both have essentially the same superpower: money and intelligence.
Except one is super badass and the other is whiny and lame.
@StrixVaria I haven't really read many Iron Man stories, but he seems pretty cool
As with every major character sometimes he is forced to do stupid things because editors
14:51
@twobugs Yeah, they really bungled him in Civil War. That was garbage.
That's exactly what I was thinking of, actually
user15026
I wish I could read comic books.
@AshleyNunn If you ever want to, there are some self-contained storylines which are quite good
@Yuuki Accidentally started reading this backwards due to reading a lot of manga recently.
@AshleyNunn Libraries might have them
14:53
@AshleyNunn i never know which bubble to read
All Star Superman is one of the most celebrated graphic novels of all time and it requires no prior reading
@Rapitor Left to right, top to bottom. Unless it's manga, in which case right to left
All Star Batman, on the other hand, not so much.
@twobugs I feel like you need to read a bit of Superman canon to get the full impact though.
@Yuuki It certainly helps, because Grant Morrison is a crazy genius who references decades worth of material effortlessly
user15026
14:54
@PrivatePansy It's not lack of access, it's that even knowing what direction to read in, I get overwhelmed with all the visual info on the page.
Pfft, if you're worried about canon, just read independents Saga then :P
@AshleyNunn Oh, that's totally fair. I have to just not pay too much attention or that happens to me
In other terrible news. Loads of people were shot in Tunesia because some shooter decided to go murder tourists.
I've been reading more manga and less American comics recently. Not happy with the direction DC is going in and Marvel has never interested me as much
14:56
@twobugs there's more comics than just those 2.
There are, and I read them sometimes. Haven't been following any current series though
Y the last man was cool, Transmetro is cool (although people turned Spider into a meme which was dumb)
I was reading Irredemeable and Incorruptible for a bit, but they went full on ridiculous
@twobugs Yeaaaaah...
Incorruptible was nice for a bit, but the ending was just wtfbbq.
I stopped reading when they went to the prison planet and the Pluton was like drugged or something and getting fondled by aliens while another alien watched it on TV
Plutonian
There's a lot of unnecessary fondling and borderline rape stuff in that comic.
Cool premise, but the author just took it in such a bad direction.
15:04
Granted, it's mostly used to show how powerless the most powerful man in the universe is in certain situations, but it's still rather messed up.
The premise is basically: Superman snaps, turns evil. One of his main bad guys realizes he is the only chance to save the world, turns good.
Has some neat ideas and some good themes, like Yuuki described
but it just gets weird and gross.
Max Damage had an interesting superpower for sure.
But some of the art direction in the later issues was also messed up.
The art had already started falling apart when I stopped reading. It was just getting goofier and goofier
> No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded
Supreme Court's ending statement.
Should've been changed to this:
> It is so ordered.

@PrivatePansy Next job, try and arrange for INT_MAX + 1 chat participants
15:08
(finger snap and head wobble)
This may require many socks
@Yuuki you're fired again.
@fredley Can we not do socks for a while?
@StrixVaria Good point. I have sock fatigue.
Huh. I actually kinda agree with Justice Robert's dissent.
> Although the policy arguments for extending marriage to same-sex couples may be compelling, the legal arguments for requiring such an extension are not. The fundamental right to marry does not include a right to make a State change its definition of marriage. And a State’s decision to maintain the meaning of marriage that has persisted in every culture throughout human history can hardly be called irrational. In short, our Constitution does not enact any one theory of marriage. The people of a State are free to expand marriage to include same-sex couples, or to retain the historic definit
15:11
@fredley Ew
@Yuuki The flaw with this is that state's have to honor things officially recognized in other states. That's a clause in the constitution.
@twobugs Yeah, I agree with the point he's trying to make, but I realize it's impractical as hell.
I think Roberts is also the one who said the first amendment grants "freedom OF religion... not freedom FROM religion!"
So he's a real stand up guy.
Yeah, the most rosy idealistic outcome would be every state legalizing gay marriage on its own, through the power of the populace.
But that's going to be a loooooong time in the future.
Public opinion is changing, but there are a lot of holdouts
15:15
@twobugs There have been some arguments that Roberts has been much more concerned about the status and legacy of his Court and so has been leaning towards more popular opinions, especially after all the backlash from Citizens United.
That wouldn't surprise me
There are others who have just given up, like Justice Thomas
I don't think he should have been appointed in the first place, but that's a different matter :)
Thomas is just a contrarian.
instant regret
Scalia is possibly insane.

Q: Owls at sunset - find the odd one out

BmyGuestQuite contrary to the common belief, owls are very social animals and indeed form flocks or rather tightly bound families with a common social codex. At sunset, they all meet before going on their individual hunting trip, and they eye themselves very carefully. Any owl not belonging to the group ...

The image alone is amazing
Meh
MEH I SAY
It's a 5-4.
GG
Hell, the ACA was a 6-3
There's precedent for the court to decide this sort of thing. So yeah.
All I know is the tears are gonna be good.
I bet freep is exploding

Hello Bridge
HELLO
15:31

FAE
Yay SCOTUS \o/
RIGHT?
@FAE Hi! Been a while since we last saw you in here.
15:32
@Unionhawk i believe that much of our COBOL pains come from the terribad tooling
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Personal stuff has been busy/heavy lately
But I am very happy about the Supreme Court's ruling
@Yuuki Nobody tell 12 year old me that, who thought Zeratul was the coolest thing ever
People will try to tear it down, but, I mean...
Current dentist costs for this month: €550. Expected costs for the visit on monday: €200-€250. I don't like it at all
@twobugs Zeratul is pretty cool.
15:34
Actually, no, people will say they're going to try to tear it down, realize how steep their uphill battle to do that is, and not actually do that.
FAE
FAE
I am also kinda scared because in sharing my joy and support on FB about marriage equality, I also took the opportunity to come out as queer on there to the people who didn't know that, so uh, I guess I'll see how that goes.
@Yuuki ehs a cool guy who fights zarg and doesnt afraid of anything
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Euuugh. What happened?
@FAE (hugs)
> "I gave that bitch Stockholm Syndrome. Bitches eventually love Stockholm Syndrome."
@FAE New dentist, and the old one sucked it seems, loads of big holes in my teeth. One even had to have the nerve removed.
15:35
EUGHL:IAH:LKTH
NOPE
FAE
FAE
@Yuuki hugs back Thankies
@Arperum Waugh, that's awful, I'm sorry. :(
@FAE best of luck!
@Arperum ow ow ow ow
@FAE And the worst part is that it isn't over yet. I have to go back in august for a final filling type thing, and then go to the hospital to get two wisdom teeth removed.
FAE
FAE
@badp Thank you! I'm very open about it on teh interwebz and such, but I wasn't out to extended family on there or anything. Who knows even if they'll read it, but I posted before I lost my nerve.
@badp Not really, I din't feel anything.
15:37
STILL APPLIES
FAE
FAE
@Arperum I just had two wisdom teeth removed and it was luckily not too bad. They had to drill in the one quite a bit because a small, crooked root broke off and they had to dig for it, but even that wasn't painful, just felt weird.
I always have the teeth falling out or breaking or whatever dream
@Unionhawk Monday I have a double length visit planned because I want to get done with it. And there are three holes left.
It's bad. I don't like it.
If I was President I would make sure teeth always work. Vote for me.
Are you 8? They'll grow right back
FAE
FAE
15:40
@Arperum When I got my wisdom teeth out, I found out that they weren't the reason my bottom teeth are misaligned, it turns out my jaw grew in crooked. :| So now I have an appointment with an orthodontist to see if I need/should get jaw surgery to fix it and what all that'd entail.
I hope you're 8
@FAE I've been under full narcose for teeth related stuff when I was a kid, I had 9 teeth removed at the same time (four kids teeth, the real teeth below them and an extra tooth that grew in between (extra as in: other people don't have that one, and it confused the dentist)
@Arperum wat
FAE
FAE
@Arperum My sister had extra teeth too! We used to call her Sharky.
I had to have braces twice. My teeth hate me too
15:41
@FAE Yikes. I had these teeth removed because I had not enough place for my other teeth.

Q: EU4 Can't Core Any Provences!!! help!

RandomGuy36726731Ok so I'm playing as Brandenburg on EU4, just took a ton of provinces from the a Teutonic Order and I want to core them but it says that they are 999999 from a core Provence with a port but I don't have any core provinces with a port so how do I core any provences, thanks.

@badp I don't like dentists for reasons...
For @AshleyNunn, because you sound so down recently
I am very glad I don't have wisdom teeth
Like, at all
15:42
Also because Katie Cook draws ridiculously adorable pones
@PrivatePansy that's not how any of that works
@Unionhawk Hah, I didn't have them at your age either.
I had 6 wisdom teeth
FAE
FAE
@Arperum Yeah, not happy about that possibility.
@Arperum No, like, they don't exist.
15:43
@Unionhawk Neither does the rest of your face.
@Unionhawk That...explains a lot
@twobugs must have gotten them instead
My father also doesn't have any wisdom teeth
FAE
FAE
@Unionhawk I didn't have wisdom teeth on top, just the bottom.
@badp shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh It's a magic horse moon Princess
15:43
Every time I get an xray the dentist is like "there are the wisdom teeth" and I'm like "nope, count again"
FAE
FAE
My dentist made a joke that I'm more evolved
I still have all of them in my mouth and three are out
The fourth not coming out kind of worries me slightly!
My brother has to get his removed this summer
user15026
@PrivatePansy I love that!
15:44
Alright, who's getting wisdom teeth out this time?
user15026
I want to stick it on my wall.
@FAE Please don't make me extinct. Then I won't be able to play video games
@Yuuki old joke is old
I think I have two, both of which are partially erupted, if I get the jargon right?
@GraceNote Uh, past @FAE I think
15:44
And my brother, but, meh
user15026
I am so glad I am done with wisdom teeth.
He'll live. Maybe.
user15026
My sister didn't have any, lucky kid.
15:45
@FAE I have four of them, and the bottom ones are problematic for sure.
I didn't have any problems with mine
Just so long as we don't discuss brain teeth
They came out clean, I had no pain at all, I was good to go less than a day afterwards.
@Yuuki Slightly newer joke is slightly newer.
(discussion on brain teeth ensues)
15:46
@badp Wat
Nevermind I don't want to know
user15026
@GraceNote I had to go to the hospital to have mine out, but that's more because of other health issues than the actual teeth being problems
user15026
The whole thing was rather effortless.
There's a BoI item called Teratoma
My mouth lacks place for extra teeth, I need the open space so I can produce a stupid amount of sound.
15:47
@Arperum how about a second row of backup teeth
user15026
@GraceNote Dental work for me is fun, I have to always take super powered antibiotics and stuff because your teeth are super close to your brain, so it is a very easy infection vector, and I really don't need help with adding more weirdness to my brainbox
@badp I was already cultivating them, but then they got removed.
That sounds very bothersome, to put it lightly.
user15026
@GraceNote It's my normal, so I don't think about it too much. Just gotta remember the antibiotics before I go.
FAE
FAE
15:48
@GraceNote I just had them out this past month
user15026
@Unionhawk Oh my gosh I love this so much
user15026
Especially "horse tornado"
@AshleyNunn I don't like horse tornadoes, they make me sick.
Assuming they are not aimed at kids of 5 years old max.
user15026
@Arperum I've not been on one in years.
"cat puppies" are pretty good too
15:50
pork sicles.
@AshleyNunn Neither have I , because I know I end up sick if I go into any kind of very spinning thing.
I think "sand moose" is the best though

@Unionhawk Ugh I wanna go there so bad
@FAE It's fantastic and apparently they have a floorless coaster now. I am unsure what this entails, other than... lack of floor? I guess? Just seat?
user15026
@Unionhawk dangling feets? People losing shoes?
@AshleyNunn Typically on inverted coasters (track is above you), they allow you to remove flip flops
user15026
pictures flip flops going flying
FAE
FAE
15:56
@AshleyNunn I'd imagine it's something different than that because they have dangling feet coasters already
So I imagine the same is the case here
user15026
@Unionhawk Smart.

FAE
that is weird
user15026
@FAE I am mostly amused my first instinct is "what would people lose"

@AshleyNunn I was always too scared about losing my glasses on coasters, so a lot of the ones I went on I just took them off. So young me was mostly screaming and blind.

15:58
"BUT I NEED I--" "I'm not closing the ride for your hat."

@FAE There are only a few that I don't trust my glasses on
Flying coasters, in particular
