8:01 PM
I may have to get some friends together to go watch it as a possibly terrible movie
 
@KevinvanderVelden Oh, it's definitely going to be a terrible movie.
 
@Yuuki A terribly nostalgic movie.
 
The real question is whether it's going to be "so bad it's good" or "so bad it's bad".
 
Totally going to see it.
 
8:05 PM
@Yuuki yes
 
can it be so terribad it overflows into awesome tho?
 
No
 
@djsmiley2k Pacific Rim did it so it's not impossible.
 
Indeed, that's underflow
 
8:11 PM
Well, one thing I've realized that no one's mentioned about the Nintendo Switch: no region locking.
 
Yeah it's a thing
 
Whoo, importing discs from Japan~
 
I have just learned of a (now murdalated) bill in AZ to penalize public universities teaching ethnic studies classes
@Yuuki They're carts
 
> (The proposed digital sales tax) envisions the possibility of extending GST/HST to foreign-based digital services that are currently exempt from collecting and remitting sales taxes. While the law technically requires Canadian consumers to self-declare the sales tax they owe on those purchases, few are aware of the requirement and presumably even fewer actually do it.
 
Like the Dragon Quest games that are releasing for the Japanese launch.
 
8:13 PM
Huh, I've been breaking the law all this time...
 
Couldn't you always play JP games on NA systems?
 
@Unionhawk Not for Nintendo.
 
Huh
 
I know you needed a Japanese 3DS to play the Japanese Monster Hunter games.
 
And I imagine that so has @Wipqozn, @GnomeSlice, @Frank, @JasonBerkan, @Ash, and all the other Canadians here.
 
8:14 PM
Ah
I'm pretty sure some of the other systems are NTSC/PAL locked but otherwise open
 
@MBraedley I'm a criminal
Thgat honestly seems like a stupid law
 
How it typically works in the US is an online retailer won't charge you sales tax unless they have a location there
 
@MBraedley Meh. If a company isn't going to tax me, I'm not going to help them.
 
@Ash I have no idea what this is about
 
8:15 PM
and you're typically supposed to keep track of this
 
I wonder if T_D is going to be this annoying for the next four years?
 
We get taxed enough, thank you.
 
@Yuuki yes
 
@GodEmperorDune My confusion grows
 
@Ash You are now such a good cook, you can make flour and bread.
Oh and @Fluttershy is now a Knight.
 
8:17 PM
@GodEmperorDune That sounds terrible
 
(I played a little bit during lunch break and found enough iron to cobble together a shield)
 
@Sterno yeah I saw that. Very surprised.They made it seem like it was a few weeks away from release.
 
@Unionhawk Yeah, a consumer is supposed to keep track of all the purchases they've made where they didn't pay tax, and declare that on their income tax returns. Thing is, I've never seen such a field when filling out my taxes.
 
I've seen it for state taxes
 
A nice surprise, though, @Sterno. I should give that a roll after my current Ironman run.
 
8:18 PM
 
@Wipqozn Hmm... do I have to download and install it separately or can I get it through Steam Workshop?
 
But I've always gone "nothing to declare"
 
user15026
@Wipqozn Your name fits very well into songs from Hamilton because it's the same number of syllables as various names
 
user15026
@Yuuki heck yes go me
 
@Yuuki I'm assuming it's on the workshop
 
8:18 PM
Anyways, it's home time for me. Nice early day tomorrow as well, but probably won't go late.
 
@Ash I guess I just don't know what/who Hamilton is
 
Amazon has a location in this state now anyway, so they're collecting sales tax now
or something
 
@Ash I'm hoping now that you can make bread, you'll be able to level a lot faster. Up until now, you've just been making vegetable soup (which requires 10 vegetables) and bales of wheat.
 
The law, as it is, is dumb
 
user15026
@Wipqozn It's a musical about Alexander Hamilton
 
8:21 PM
TIL @Wipqozn lives in a cave
 
Oh, a founding father
I only know the important founding fathers
 
Name one
 
Like George Washington, Winsten Churchill, and George bush.
 
@Unionhawk Aaron Burr.
 
@Wipqozn You should just quit your current run of lameness and go right to Long War
 
8:22 PM
Abraham Lincoln.
 
Acceptable
 
Martin Luther King.
 
but actually I know 3, I think
georrge washington, thomas jefferson, and benjamin franklin
 
Pretty sure you were right about GW Bush being on that list
 
@Wipqozn And Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.
 
8:23 PM
I'm no historian, but
 
dont forget urmom
 
user15026
sigh
 
My mom was not a founding father, she was born in the 20th century
 
I actually have heard of John Adams though
upon looking up the complete list
 
@Unionhawk How do you know she was born in the 20th century?
 
8:26 PM
This is a silly line of questioning
 
urmom is a silly line of questioning?
 
To be fair @Unionhawk could be a time traveller
 
@Dragonrage Yes
Exactly
 
@Dragonrage Also btw, that sigh and no reaction from me was because we're trying to decrease the total number of your mom jokes made in the bridge
BECAUSE REASONS
 
oh, didnt know. thanks for sending me the memo
 
8:28 PM
We actually rigged The Bridge to self destruct if we surpass a certain quota
 
though i feel like we would destroy the bridge from science before we got that quota
 
I lobbied for the quota being set at 0
 
@KevinvanderVelden I approve of said quota.
 
I vote we replace "urmom" with "ur@Wipqozn".
 
That sounds flaggable
 
8:33 PM
That sounds like "you're @Wipqozn" which is a terrible thing to say to someone
 
@KevinvanderVelden ur@Wipqozn sounds flaggable.
 
@Yuuki that's what I said
 
@Yuuki That sounds dirty
 
Unless that person is, in fact, @Wipqozn. That guy would probably take being called @Wipqozn as a compliment.
:thinking:
 
@Unionhawk I definitely would
 
8:35 PM
@Wipqozn Would you, @fredley?
 
@Sterno but all the bridge folk haven't died yet
@Yuuki Yes
 
Gosh being drunk is fun
 
> Nine soldier classes: Sharpshooter, Shinobi, Ranger, Assault, Gunner, Grenadier, Specialist, Technical and Psionic (plus Sparks for DLC owners), each with unique secondary weapons
 
Do Rangers get a bow and arrows?
 
@Wipqozn You're just going to be bored of it by the time you're done with this one
 
8:38 PM
And Sparks should get a full collection of romantic novels as a secondary.
 
I should play XCOM 2
@arda pls
 
@Yuuki are you watching the eu lcs?
 
@Sterno That's true. At a minimum, though, I need to toss all my soldiers lives away.
 
@Unionhawk so basically i'm celebrating 3 stuff
1) I got reaccepted into MSP program. IDC.
2) I GOT A GREAT JOB IN A GREAT STARTUP (in a company of another MSP)
 
@Dragonrage Not currently. Will it be over in two hours?
 
8:43 PM
oh help.
 
Or rather, will it still be going on in two hours?
 
My sister just send an sms asking what happens if you archive an email.
 
dont think so, they only have two matches today
 
@arda Here, have a reward.
 
origen vs h2k and fnc vs g2
 
8:44 PM
@Arperum "It stays on the server in the 'All Mail' box"
 
 
you should watch the fnc vs g2 vods though
 
And congratulations.
 
@Yuuki besides adorable, what is that?
 
assuming gmail that is
 
8:45 PM
@Unionhawk Ya, sure about that, pretty sure it might also depend in what thing she is doing that.
 
because if not gmail then ugh
 
I have no clue what she uses
 
@KevinvanderVelden Dwarf hamster.
 
3) I accepted myself, yet again. I'm taking my time to be comfortable with stuff (and went with this on other platforms for a few days and am very happy with it), and I hope you'll respect my choice of name of "Avery" and pronouns of "she/her".
and I'm too drunk to discuss the details, and will likely regret this in the morning (I'm still in a period of getting used or whatever and stuff) so whatever GOOD NIGHT
 
user15026
Get some sleep, @avery!
 
user15026
@Yuuki this is DELIGHTFUL
 
@Yuuki you are familiar with the term pulling an xpeke?

Q: Playing wii games and it won't let me back to the Wii U home. Been stuck for 24 hours

user177442I was playing on my Wii U, and I had gone onto the Wii setting to play a game, I was playing for an hour and a half until it showed up saying "Error: Out of memory" and it won't let me close that, the Wii remote isn't showing up. The Wii U is very new for my family, we have only had for a year an...

 
@Dragonrage Ooo, backdoor strat?
 
This is the startup btw: cyanlog.com I have a title of tool developer and my linguistics capacities are lower than average to actually say what it actually means.
 
8:54 PM
@Yuuki yes, game 2 fnc vs g2 is a very fun to watch. definitely recommend watching the vod of it
i dont want to give too many spoilers though
 
I should go watch some LCK games too.
 
I always see league in monthly highlights and I'm just like "I have no idea what's going on"
FPS and fighting game highlights are fairly straightforward to me, but league starcraft and dota aren't
 
@Unionhawk Which makes it pretty hilarious when /r/CompetitiveOverwatch gets regular complaints about how unwatchable the games are in comparison to League.
 
wat
 
I mean, I understand both probably because I play both, so I don't know which one actually is more watchable.
 
8:58 PM
I mean
Overall watchability to the layperson, CSGO isn't bad, I think
Overwatch has tons of hero complexity added to the equation
same with league
 
competitive Overwatch is really all over the place
 
There are some nuances to CS but it's not terrible
 
it's weird to watch
 
also, mobas have a somewhat different gameplay compared to fps. you have to know mobas to really understand league
and then understanding the abilities allows you to put things together
 
CSGO, Street Fighter, and Smash aren't terrible to watch
Rocket League is pretty similar
 
9:00 PM
Rocket League is very watchable by virtue of just being football/soccer with flying cars.
 
Yeah
 
Brawlhalla is pretty fun to watch
 
Although I do wonder what football/soccer would look like if there were no positions.
 
This company will be fun because they apparently have no sense of source control
 
lol run
 
9:01 PM
@Avery lol gl/hf
 
@Avery You did say you're working for a startup, after all.
 
boss (who is 17), said that he's fine with me setting up a git server
 
technically the cars dont actually fly. they just have rocket propulsion
 
17 o_O
 
@Yuuki they have 9 frigging servers. Git is lightweight as hell.
 
9:02 PM
g2 just picked ivern
 
is he even old enough to like...... pay you?
 
@djsmiley2k yes
 
can't copy regular YouTube urls from mobile anymore i guess
 
wat
 
9:03 PM
cool, i canhaz jorb?
 
best part is he's this guy
 
@Dragonrage That's interesting.
 
So we'll have fun in a few days when the other friend learns it
 
There I guess, have to make sure to open in browser
 
@Avery wait, ur arda'?
 
9:04 PM
Also, you guys should play this game. It's free
 
Yes.
 
rumble, ivern, syndra, ashe, mf vs shen, lee, ori, kennen, zyra
 
so, i can haz jorb?
 
I think that long messages tend to go unread. Meh, psa time.
 
@Dragonrage you misspelled zarya
flees
 
9:05 PM
PSA: Arda is now Avery, he/him is now she/her.
PSA: Arda is now Avery, he/him is now she/her.
8
 
@Unionhawk i will just continue to ignore you
 
not sure if srs, doesnt really matter.
 
@djsmiley2k It's a startup that's dealing with stuff on a risky market, one they founded themselves. It's much, much more likely to go bankrupt than traditional startups.
 
moar fun
need sysadm?
 
@Arperum I'm pretty sure that's incorrect
 
9:07 PM
aren't you currently employed tho?
 
well yes
 
@GnomeSlice It goes for oral herpes anyway.
 
Yeah
I actually forgot about that bit
But that is a thing
 
@Dragonrage Shen, Kennen, but no Akali or Zed? :(
 
I had a thing i thought was a bug bite on the back of my thigh a while back and I remember not thinking much of it but that it last a long time
apparently a quite common symptom
 
9:08 PM
Actually, when was the last time Akali was meta?
And did she get any changes in the assassin rework?
 
s4?
yes
 
I don't give a damn on it being likely to go bankrupt. I want a team, I want freedom on what I work on, I want to do stuff that's actually good, I need money. This job gives me all that.
 
EVERY GAME A HANJO
 
also, in case you didnt notice, its adc kennen
 
We have a hanzo. We have a genji. UGH. DEFEAT.
 
9:10 PM
I wish I had time to finish my S3 placements :?
 
@Avery sounds fun, enjoy it, dont invest everything
 
@Unionhawk when do those end?
 
k so 2.1 woke up, cried at me, and went back to sleep :O
 
Not sure
 
not used vto the last bit
 
user15026
9:11 PM
@Avery You should sleep soon, no?
 
> // TODO: ??????????
 
@djsmiley2k I won't invest anything but time, tbh.
@Ash I should, thanks for reminding. Good night, all.
 
enjoy then
 
@Avery did you change your username?
 
yes
 
9:12 PM
why?
 
7 mins ago, by Avery
PSA: Arda is now Avery, he/his is now she/her.
 
Reasons
 
because @badp
 
 
cc @fredley
 
9:12 PM
cc @fredley
 
hopefully that helps if you dont want it starred, i can remove it @Avery
 
were/was there an avery prior?
 
No
 
huh it is starred isn't it
 
@Dragonrage Thanks for starring. Less people asking me why I changed my name, the less annoyance.
 
9:14 PM
np
 
hmmmmm who do i remember o_O
 
iunno
 
me nither
 
kalina
 
help me

9:14 PM
Note to self: no more Ritz crackers. They're incredibly messy.
 
@Yuuki eat them whole
 
@Yuuki But they're so delicious though
 
@Avery see, this is better because you kept your avatar so i know it's still you
 
@Memor-X it was the greatest hint
 
Things I enjoy about League. The most represented country among all players in the European League is South Korea.
 
9:18 PM
yeeeeeep
 
@BlueBarren yeh but on discord @Avery went and messaged me and i thought i was being spammed because her avatar is different there
 
Though then again, Overwatch has NA teams consisting entirely of EU players
 
at least at the time it wasn't a Steven Universe avatar. if it was i might have made a connection
 
(EnVyUs comes to mind)
 
doesnt csgo have that too?
 
9:19 PM
Probably
 
@Dragonrage yes
 
@Memor-X I think I already had her on discord, that was you who added me on discord, yeah @Avery ?
 
Isn't there a Brazil team that's lost favor in Brazil for having no Brazillian players?
 
@BlueBarren Yes. I was going to invite you to the discord group which I believe I still didn't. Fixing that.
Sent invite link.
and I'm off to sleep. Gnight folks.
 
@Wipqozn xcom commander @Wipqozn / troops are waiting in the field for you / If you learn to git gud, together we can turn the tide / Oh, xcom commander @Wipqozn / I have soldiers that will yield for you / If we manage to get this riiiiiight / No need to kill every bridger in siiiiight / the world will never be the same ...
cc @ash
 
9:21 PM
@Avery thanks!
 
So I caught a glimpse of some primetime comedy last night and they made an anti-vaxx joke and I'm somewhat disappointed.
 
do discord invites last more than 40 minutes?
 
@BlueBarren Depends on the invite.
By default, they last 30 minutes, but they can be configured to be permanent.
 
I made it permanent with one use limit.
 
well that solves that problem then
 
9:22 PM
So you should be able to join as long as someone doesn't revoke the invite, which is honestly a rare thing to happen.
 
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER
 
if it does happen I blame @badp because of his avatar being weird that one day
well time to leave work
yaaaaaaaaaaay
 
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
pls
 
when you let devs brand
 
9:29 PM
@badp ://
so are you supposed to urlencode it in the domain name?
also why aren't they using SSL? it should be mos://a
 
@Avery I'd be lying if I said I wasn't glad I'll no longer be filled with the pure misery of RIP @ArdaXi whenever I ping you.
 
RIP @ArdaXi
the terrimod
 
o
hmm
 
turns out that $1100 per month for 20 years is probably about right
dammit
 
9:42 PM
College loans?
 
yep
It should get better because I have a huge chunk of stock I can use to destroy some principal
I think I can knock out the highest interest rate account altogether
 
@Unionhawk 264k in college loans? What are you, a surgeon?
 
140, but, high interest rates
 
still, isn't 140k like, insanely high?
 
It is
 
9:48 PM
I thought 40'ish was the norm
 
No
 
which is still pretty high, but manageable
 
University of Cincinnati will run you 80 if you stay in on campus housing 4 years
40 if you don't at all
Except that's in-state tuition at one of the cheapest public universities in the state
 
 
in other words - go USA!
 
9:50 PM
I went to a private university with all-told annual cost for me around 30 or so
Which is honestly comparable to a higher cost public university
 
@Chippies aren't you also in canada, which is not the land of insane college loans?
To my knowledge at least
 
our house cost 200k CAD, which is about the same as your student loan once converted to USD
 
Yeah
"That's as much as our first house" "That's in 1990s dollars, Dad" - literally a conversation I had yesterday
 
@KevinvanderVelden Idk, I never had the opportunity to go to university/college in Canada
 
Aren't 1990s dollars worth more?
 
9:52 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I don't think so?
Well, wait yes
 
I haven't heard of anyone I know having that much in loans though
 
Hold on
 
1862 dollar is best dollar
 
@Chippies Incidentally, Betsy DeVos has ties to student debt collection
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
 
9:54 PM
as far as I know, if you have a place to stay, university isn't overly expensive here
living on university grounds adds a nice chunk though, it's cheaper to rent
especially if you can split rent with other students
 
@TimStone "Strawberry skittles = Strawberry milk" if only
 
ping
 
pong
 
10:08 PM
if i ever meet the guy who did this in magento i'm going to punch him. i get the need to separate included tax from an item but when you has a detectable flag that an item's price also includes tax, you allow percentage based tax and you round numbers....why is it a good idea to total up price to charge from your split up values rather than using the original whole values you had from the begining
 
@Wipqozn I KNEW THIS ALREADY. YOU ARE SO SLOW. OMG WTF BBQ
 
Have you guys seen this?
 
Want to unsee
 
@BlueBarren i saw a trailer of it which didn't even look like Power Rangers. the only hints were the last short where a guy was partically being transformed into the Red Power Ranger and the fighting stance one of the girls took out of custume
that kind of stance really gives it away
 
the peeing in the cup line was amusing though
you have to give it that

Q: Can I change the Mo' Creatures config to make it so that mini golems can't pick up blocks?

ExoMuteMy mob farm in Sky Factory is pretty good, but I have to check on it more times than I'd like to because every so often a mini golem spawns, falls into the trap (spiked bottom), and picks up a spike before his death. Then I have to go down there and place the spike back, which I feel is a process...

 
 
though this came before i saw the trailer of Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Power Rangers get stuffed BABY GROOT!
 
Lighting is beautiful.
 
@Sterno you'll forget about it before long. Benefit of advanced age.
 
Every OW hero intro but by cats imgur.com/a/HNOKn I thought it was hilarious and cute

there is OW room?!

user15026
@Avery Have you gotten any sleep? :)
 
user15026
@TimStone It's funny to me that everyone is surprised that this happens
 
Yeah, I was super confused about the people upset by it
 
user15026
Because as a kid my one uncle trucked for a company that transported stuff like that for cattle feed
 
"My steak can't be raised on candy!"
????
 
user15026
11:06 PM
(I remember feeding cattle Lucky Charms)
 
I was briefly surprised they liked Skittles, to be fair, but then I said "Who doesn't like Skittles?" (and then also said "Probably @Wipqozn", but)
 
@TimStone What do you think goes into your steaks? Other steaks?
I mean, farm animals are literally "turn things humans don't want to eat into things humans find delicious" machines.
 
Subsidized feed corn, obviously! If it's not propping up another industry what is it even doing?
 
It stands to reason they can also turn things that humans do want to eat into things that humans find delicious.
 
@TimStone Hey now, even I like skittles
 
11:11 PM
Whew
 
Only in small amounts though. Too many at once and it hurts my teeth.
 
So I edited this answer to remove a non-functional attempt at promoting an external site, then remembered this post. Should I rollback the changes and flag as spam or leave it as is?
 
@Vemonus It... looks like an answer.
 
@Vemonus to me that link was noise so it should be removed. it wasn't like "you can find your answer here www.youranswer.com"
 
@Frank so leave it (for now)? I guess if I see another post by that user, I'll flag it.
 
11:15 PM
@Vemonus If there's another, just flag it as spam.
And mods can burn the whole account.
 
you know your scraping the bottom of the barrel for solutions when your mind comes up with the solution "shove the serves in a vault and the error wont occur while the great war is going on"
 
@Memor-X If you've hit that point, then the meeting should've been over an hour ago.
 
user15026
@Frank Well, if it is warranted.
 
@Frank this isn't a meeting, it's fixing magento
 
user15026
@Memor-X I always always always read that as magneto and get SO CONFUSED
 
11:19 PM
@Memor-X If you're discussing how to do it, it's a meeting. :P
 
@Ash when we used to develop for it a few years back we did that on purpose
@Frank well i am discussing it with my brain. maybe your right
 
11:38 PM
@Ash I thought it was just a typo :P
I TYPOED TYPO
 
user15026
@SaintWacko hahahahahaha <3
 
@Arperum I get a 404 when I click my tracking link :(
