foody friends

Proposed Q&A site for them who are the beginners and are lot more excited to know every thing about food

Currently in definition.

 
Hi all. Can anyone recommened a good, cheap gaming mouse? I've been playing Overwatch a lot recently, but I could do with at least one more button on my mouse for melee attacks, as whenever I try to use V at the moment (the default key) I end up jumping instead by hitting space bar.
 
@DrRDizzle Maybe remap the key instead?
 
@PrivatePansy I tried that, I set it to melee on clicking the scroll wheel, but you have to take a finger off a mouse button and move it to the scroll wheel, which isn't great when you want to be able to shoot and melee in quick succession.
 
I was thinking of another key on your keyboard that's further from the space bar
 
@PrivatePansy E would be my preference, but I'm pretty sure that's already in use.
As is F, I think.

How the fuck do you have Italy Spain as a round of 16 match
How is this a thing
How can you manage to make a tourney structure that is so ruined
How is this something that is the result of intelligent design
 
yawn
 
How can someone possibly sit down, think about it for a while, and cover up with such a system that leads to this result
and what does it say about existence at large
If intelligent design can lead to such disastrous result how can we possibly consider this as an even possibly true
Clearly
Clearly Italy Spain as a round of 16 match is the Ultimate Proof
the Ultimate Proof that there is no god and death is forever
ATHEISTS CHECKMATE
TERRORISTS WIN
IT IS OVER
YOUR WHOLE LIFE — A LIE
ALL YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS — AN ILLUSION
 
@badp well that was always true :D
 
YOUR ACCOUNTS — DESTROYED
VOTE LEAVE FROM THESE WRETCHED SPOHRTS
 
@djsmiley2k I know I think, therefore I am, but what about everyone else?
 
9:00 AM
You think you think.
 
Well no, my thought process is indisputable. That I am thinking right now is not in denial.
But everything else? Probably just a figment of my imagination
 
@GodEmperorDune Sorry, what I really meant was "since when OEM software can be sold as stand-alone"?
 
9:18 AM
@Lazers2.0 lol
 
Just ask a mod to delete it, no need to flag it
 
@Quill Isn't that what flagging is?
 
Flagging is for rude and abusive things, not for off-topic feed posts
 
@Quill The popup says spam too.

Q: What items can not be traded with other players?

KodamaI tried giving someone a pale tongue recently. I left it on the ground but despire me pointing down vigorously, he didn't seem to see it. I'm not sure if he just ignored it or if it was actually not visible for him. I've also read that you can apparently not trade upgrade materials. Are there an...

 
9:34 AM
Wow
Got Prof. Brian Cox discussing my question about calling gravity a 'force'.
 
@djsmiley2k neat
 
@Quill first flag? :P
 
yah
Nearly missed it too
just randomly noticerd the new uploaded show - listened and my questrion was on :O
 
Agreed btw, do NOT flag feed posts unless they contain extremely explicit content.
(nude profile pic etc)
Just ask a mod if it just has less "crazy" ones
 
Or a RO can move them to the Trash
 
9:42 AM
@djsmiley2k nice
 
what's a feed post? :/
Oh, I didn't flag it btw, just laughed at it
 
@Quill I used to do that, @badp said it doesn't solve the problem.
 
i checked and the actual spam was already gone
 
@djsmiley2k yeah, that's why the onebox looked different
 
Yeah, I made sure it was deleted before.
 
9:44 AM
@Ronan depends what the problem is... is the problem that the message exists, or that the spam exists on main site?
 
else I'd of flagged that
@Quill well, the link was still 'here' in the chatroom
 
@Quill I think that the link still exists and can be clicked on.
 
@Ronan I don't think people click links in the trash, but I understand the point... it's a hard line to distinguish

Q: ShadowPlay desktop capture resolution failure

Niet the Dark AbsolI have a nice pair of 4k resolution monitors, but I prefer playing my games in Borderless Windowed mode due to multitasking and frequent need to Alt+Tab. So I have ShadowPlay recording the desktop, which is fine. The problem is, it's only recording at 1980x1080, shrinking down the 4k image in a ...

 
@Lazers2.0 wtf
30fps at 4k is hard and you expect to record at reasonable frame speeds on 4k?
8.8 million pixels rendered, all at 3 bytes, at 30fps... Estimated I/O would be about...
 
@Quill well is the message spam? yes it is
there's no need to involve mods for run-of-the-mill garbage
 
796mb per second.
Most SSDs are not over 500mb/s
 
You need at least sata 3.0 to even have a storage connector for it
 
10:21 AM
1 message moved to Android Hell
There I fix, happy? ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
Links are nofollow anyway, so technically there is no reason to flag @Lazers
I mean, afaik anyway
 
dude
they're spamming on the site to post links in chat
 
So are you saying I've been informed incorrectly? Or...
 
10:37 AM
I guess what I'm saying is that we could delete spam, or shove it under the refrigerator
and deleting the spam can be done by regular users and it's cleaner
so we should prefer that
unless we really start annoying people with those flags
which I guess is a possibility
 
Well, I wouldn't necessarily say cleaner since the last time I did use flags for these things I got about a 30 minute lecture on why flagging spam oneboxes is a waste of moderators time or something
 
well yes a flag specifically for mod attention is probably silly
 
an RO can just trash it
 
@badp I flagged as spam/offensive.
 
It was a flag for 10k/mod attention, which is the extent to which regular users can delete
 
10:40 AM
@Quill so it's a waste of mod time, but it's not a waste of room owner time?
 
@badp RO's time is less valuable than mod time
 
Nah, room owners are expendable
 
Regular users' time is the least valuable
 
@badp It's a waste of time to everyone, just a flag takes much longer than a message move
 
I do suppose it can be more distracting
 
10:41 AM
Should we meta this?
 
It's probably already been asked
 
if you do, do it on MSE
 
I just don't understand why people feel the need to go "invalid because that's just oneboxed spam and let's go talk to the flagging room" instead of "oh, yeah, that is spam, that's valid"
 
You can bring it up in 7 hours during the Town Hall, if you like
 
@Unionhawk I can understand wanting to keep the flag volume down, before it just becomes noise
 
10:42 AM
@Ronan yes, me
 
The latter taking about 7 seconds to do
 
*me
* m s e
 
I'm just uneasy with the solution we've been using so far, ignoring the message
the spam has been getting more and more optimized for oneboxing
 
@badp yeah, that works the best
 
@badp I tend to agree, but there's always Nonsense and Drama involved with flags which is :|
Because spam is literally a flag reason
 
10:45 AM
Flagging the feedbot is the problem
 
Why?
You don't flag users you flag messages
The fact that @Lazers is unbannable is irrelevant
And/or, @Lazers is unbannable so it doesn't matter
 
Users face consequences, bans are there to improve content. Flagging a bot while you can just not look at it or ask a RO to move it is waste of mod/10k time.
You just waste time of 1 ro, but if you flag you waste time of tens of users that flood in.
 
And I say tens of users flooding in is stupid, it's obviously valid
 
serves those users right. stop being so nosy.
 
It comes to the point of "Why do we flag? What do we flag?", which is a meta discussion.
 
10:49 AM
Spam and offensive messages is the what, and self defining why
 
Why (to get rid of message or improve users attitude?) What (users or messages?)
 
This shouldn't be rocket science, spam is spam is spam, it belongs neither on site nor here
Here being slightly less important, but still
 
@Fluttershy Oh you don't know? Oh my. I won't ruin the mystery.
@monchéri Thanks!
 
By bringing it to attentions of tens of users, one could say that you are SPREADING the spam.
Just ignore the message
 
The only reason I've been using move is because people don't like saying valid on spam oneboxes posted by @Lazers for some reason
 
10:52 AM
Unless, the link or picture is adult content, you shouldn't need to urgently get rid of the message
 
@ardaozkal That's the worst logic ever. See also: Trolls, harassment.
 
They'd rather say that's an invalid flag stop wasting my time I'll have you know my time is very valuable I'll spend 10 minutes lecturing you about it
 
@GodEmperorDune I started typing up my answer before @Yuuki made his comment, so there.
I dind't even see his comment until this morning.
 
EJECT. I'm waiting for a meta, or see you in 7 hours.
In town hall

Q: Is a 9 or 10 cost minion hit by Freezing Trap unplayable?

thunderblasterToday I was playing a game and had only my C'Thun on the board and my opponent (a Hunter) played a trap. I figured I was pretty safe as C'Thun would survive a damaging trap and I had an Innervate in my hand if he were to get returned. However, the Freezing Trap returned him to my hand and increas...

Q: Old games on Windows 10 tablet

Zdeněk BraunI have a tablet with Windows 10 on it. It has an Intel Cherry Trail processor with integrated graphic card. I installed several games on it (Warcraft 3, C&C: Generals, NFS: Most Wanted, UT2004, DOOM 3, Flat Out 2, Counter Strike 1.6). While some of the games (Flat Out 2, NFS: Most Wanted, DOOM 3,...

Q: Crash with a weird headline

JohnWhy does Minecraft say this--> "Server forgot to send required information to construct BlockEntity" when I log into certain servers in 1.10. like mineplex or cubecraft

1:15 PM
ok, rest of today is a very slow "how to custom error in mvc 4" read info thing.
can't be bothered to do any more. if I have three weeks to fill with that last request they pulled up, I'm going to at least take a day...
 
The biggest problem with getting a new workstation is that I have to enter my admin password multiple times an hour for the first few days in order to get things installed.
 
@Arperum btw we have heard about futures can you rewrite everything using futures that would really help
we would like to start trading blue chips so we need that by the end of tomorrow

For @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
1:30 PM
that is a meaning of john that I was previously unaware of
 
@TimStone I am surprised there is nothing like this in my office.
Although there are also acres of new space in my office that I haven't explored yet, so maybe there is.
 
1:42 PM
hey guys, if I have an old question of mine that was based on pc specs that I no longer use, and the question was never answered, should I delete or answer it myself?
 
Up to you.
 
@Kaizerwolf I'd say if you know the answer then you should answer it in case it helps others, but there's no point deleting it if you don't.
 
@Kaizerwolf Can you link the question?
 
it was based on specs of an old PC, and i've since upgraded. I haven't tried the game again but I assume the issue is non-existent, as my new system is more powerful
 
Well, you can't really answer it.
 
1:49 PM
right, hence my dilemma haha
 
Do you think it will help others? Then leave it and let someone answer.
If you think it was localized to you alone, then delete it.
 
okay, I'll think about that. Thanks Frank!
 
Personally I wouldn't answer the question unless you've tested it on the new system and think it's working

Q: What happens with the Items in Corvo Bianco when starting a New Game+

raznagulIn the Blood and Wine DLC you become the owner of the vineyard Corvo Bianco. There you have armor and weapon stand where you can put some of your gear on display. When starting a New Game+ do you keep the stuff, put on display, or do you have to pick it up bevor starting a new game.

Q: Minecraft: Force a user to enable certain settings

Guy named JonJust wondering, is it possible to change the settings (e.g. Render distance) via commands? If not, is there another way to do?

 
Hi this site sucks bye.
 
@Unix Hi, Unikitty. Why aren't you banned?
 
It's over.
 
Yeah, with that attitude, that won't last.

Bah, no one likes Unix anyways

I don't really hate the idea completely
but having an header row is just asinine

Shouldn't that be

Nah, character array isn't going to separate words into subarrays

Q: Is it possible to play CEO and VIP stuff in a lobby with only organisation members?

H-HI don't have that much money to become one. So, Im wondering if I can become an CEO or VIP then can I deliver packages etc in a lobby where only my organisation members are present?

 
Either way it's separated
 
You mean you can't just code with commas and white spaces?
 
@Waterseas I like Unix. Just not @Unix
 
@SaintWacko everyone hates @Unix and @Unidoggx
 
@PrivatePansy ["comma","separated","strings"].map(x => {return x.split(/(.)/)})
 
2:42 PM
jk we love you
 
@badp You can just use split('')
split can also accept a plain string as the separator
 
@PrivatePansy that's not as splitty
 
@MadMAxJr I read a really interesting thing a while back, something about being able to write javascript, I think, starting with a very limited character set
I wish I could remember enough to find it
It was fascinating
 
@badp Making every character the splitting character, capturing it then returning it? Top notch.
@SaintWacko JSFuck
 
@MadMAxJr What do you need commas for?
 
` is a much better seperator
 
@PrivatePansy it's the difference between your flimsy ['c','o','m','m','a'] and my glorious ['','c','','o','','m','','m','','a','']
 
@Waterseas ` isn't on turkish keyboard
 
@PrivatePansy Ah, yes, that was it, thank you
 
2:46 PM
 
@ardaozkal Is ~?
 
yes
 
@badp For extra credit you should join it back with U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
 
also Win + Space + Ctrl + Shift + 6 launches visual studio on admin wtf
 
What's the shift version of ~?
 
2:46 PM
@PrivatePansy YOU MONSTER
 
@PrivatePansy that one or the non-joiner one?
 
Lol, yup, that's a thing that is happening
 
Whoever starred that, I commend your bravery
 
@Waterseas what ~?
 
I should make a language
an esolang
 
2:48 PM
@Waterseas The shift is the tilde. Unshifted is backtick
 
@fredley that did exactly what I think it did

Packet loss is typically caused by network congestion. When content arrives for a sustained period at a given router or network segment at a rate greater than it is possible to send through, then there is no other option than to drop packets.
 
there is a familiar face in comments too
 
2:52 PM
can low upload speed cause packet loss, in MP games such as Overwatch?
 
@Wipqozn Definitely looks like it's more likely to succeed than some other video games that have tried kickstarter. That said, it's still a video game on kickstarter.
 
@BlueBug yes
 
@MBraedley yeah, I ahve no intention of backing it, but I was hoping some of you would take on the risk so I don't have to!
 
if your upload is being used or if it is too slow, it'll cause packet drops
 
2:54 PM
@BlueBug It's unlikely just because of low upload speed. Running torrents or video streaming can do it though.
 
I am not running anything else. My upload download speed is supposed to be 20 Mbps and download upload 2 Mbps
 
@Chippies The amount of hnzo POTG has gone done by quite a bit since people learned how to play
 
You need dialup levels of upload bandwidth before it should become a problem.
@BlueBug I think you have those backwards.
 
@Wipqozn it's still pretty hard to avoid when it comes through a wall and there's not much space to run, but yeah, it's not as bad as it was at first
 
2:56 PM
@MBraedley u mean 2 Mbps is good enough for multi player gaming?
 
2Mbps is way more than you need for pretty much every online game. The only thing you can't do with that is stream
 
@BlueBug it is
as long as you're not capping out the upload with other applications and your latency is fine, the 2 mbps bandwidth is plenty for pretty much all multiplayer games
 
Games need about 12kbps (according to some sources I read this morning) to function.
 
@MBraedley that's a pretty generalized statement, it really differs from game to game and newer games can use more bandwidth than older ones
 
(Or it might be 12kBps, but either way)
 
2:59 PM
but 2mbps should still be plenty for at least 99% of multiplayer games
 
@Chippies That would be typical for a FPS
 
@Chippies That's just proper ult placement though
 
@MBraedley yeah, for most FPSs it's probably accurate
 
I think I need to go back to my psychologist
