11:00 AM

I will never rewatch Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan ever again.

user226528

I have seen enough Saving Private Ryan derivatives to last me ten lifetimes.

user226528

And played.

@Bob Chuck Jones? This is when drawing style and graphics changed? There were no longer voice overs and when Tom/Jerry laughed there was sound instead of human voice?

Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes is a 2006 real-time strategy video game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ for the Microsoft Windows and OS X operating systems. It was the first title to make use of the Games for Windows label. Company of Heroes is set during the Second World War and contains two playable factions. Players aim to capture strategic resource sectors located around the map, which they use to build base structures, produce new units, and defeat their enemies. In the single-player campaign the player commands two U.S. military units during the Battle of Normandy and the Allied...

user226528

@Boris_yo There were voiceovers once? As far as I remember, when Jerry laughed (I don't remember Tom laughing ever) there was a cute piece of music that resembled laughter.

11:04 AM

@Boris_yo That was the really big/weird change.

I think I still have a VCD with T&J on it :P

user226528

The scream, however, always seemed vocal to me. Tom screamed a lot.

@FleetCommand Yes. For example in episodes where Tom, Jerry and dog live with family.

@Bob That was a weird one. I didn't like it. Hanna Barbara is best.

user226528

Don't they always?

@FleetCommand Usually there is only Tom and Jerry and sometimes dog.

Remember episodes with dog and his son? "That's my boy!"

user226528

Yes, but in a family house. And occasionally, a woman is shown. (but not her face.)

11:10 AM

Or annoying duckling that always cries/complains about something.

user226528

Does anyone remember Grape Ape?

any links?

@rah good morning

(yes I just woke up)

(it's 2pm here)

@Avery Hiya!

@Boris_yo that's spike

@Avery Right.

11:15 AM

What unites children (and adults) from all over the world? That's right... Tom and Jerry

True

Man, I'm loving this new computer setup so much

user226528

@Rahul2001 As long as it is not Doogie Howser, M.D., no complaints.

even if it dates back to 1946 (1946!), it was still very popular around here even in early 2k

@Rahul2001 Disney does.

11:17 AM

@Avery My mum watched it as a kid on TV, and after a couple of decades, so did I.

@Boris_yo Disney here is very boring, not a lot of fun.

user226528

@Boris_yo Especially, Pixar.

@Rahul2001 "here"?

You have different Disney?

@Boris_yo India

Yep

Localized

Didn't know they adapt.

Different language(s) and shows

11:18 AM

yeah

Localization is always different...

user226528

So, no Pixar films in India?

let me grab my wikipedia flash drive.

@FleetCommand Of course there are, I'm talking about TV shows

@Avery You have Wikipedia on a flash drive?

Journeyman Geek

11:19 AM

pixar wasn't always disney

@Avery lol :D

Journeyman Geek

and there was a BIT of good disney...

@Boris_yo Turkey has banned Wikipedia

user226528

@JourneymanGeek Amen.

Journeyman Geek

the whole darkwing duck/duck tales/tailspin era was awesome

11:19 AM

@Rahul2001 And flash drive is VPN?

user image

@JourneymanGeek Balu the pilot?

flash drive is wikipedia dumps

user226528

@Rahul2001 If something is stupid, Turkey does it. 98% Muslim and they ban Islam.

@Boris_yo She just has it downloaded

Journeyman Geek

11:20 AM

@Boris_yo tailspin did borrow a load of charecters from the Jungle book

@FleetCommand I... don't think they did that

@Rahul2001 Must be a lot of gigs?

@Rahul2001 she

@Avery Oh yeah, sorry, forgot :/

Journeyman Geek

yeah, cause her country is silly and banned wikipedia

11:21 AM

@Boris_yo english wiki is 18.8gigs

How do you download websites to flash? How do you run websites from flash?

turkish is 600mb

Journeyman Geek

@FleetCommand well, just cause people have a religion does not necessarily mean that a government should be run by it

@JourneymanGeek s/silly/scary

Journeyman Geek

@tereško other things are scary

11:22 AM

@Boris_yo it's through kiwix

user226528

@JourneymanGeek Of course it does. Everywhere in the world it is like that. Well, almost everywhere.

Turkey isn't. or rather, wasn't.

Okay, guys. What possible interpretations/contexts do you see of the phrase "Let them in"?

people I know from Turkey have either left or are about to leave

Except the obvious regarding immigrants

Journeyman Geek

11:23 AM

yup

@tereško if everything goes fine I'm on the latter half

@Rahul2001 hackers?

Journeyman Geek

Until the current government, the military essentially kept the country secular

@FleetCommand "It happens" =/= "It should happen"

user226528

More like trackers...

11:24 AM

car theives?

user226528

@Bob Regardless, it should.

feelings?

May 13 at 5:26, by Rahul2001

Why the world is worried about Turkey

@Avery Did I get this right, the military is trying to protect democracy?

why it's worried? Because it has 2nd largest standing army in NATO

@Rahul2001 the fired majority was.

Journeyman Geek

11:25 AM

@Rahul2001 yeah

the majority that tried coup and failed

:/

@Rahul2001 yes

military coups had been part of Turkeys democratical process for more than 100 years

I know it sounds strange :D

Not relaly.

@tereško So I see.

user226528

11:27 AM

Legacy of the Ottoman Empire

It was in 1960, 1671, 1680, 1997 and now in 2016.

user226528

You wrote 1960.

@Avery When we're taught about military coups in 9th and 10th grade here, they don't tell us that they can actually be good, we only learn about the bad ones, which is why it came as a bit of a surprise to me when I watched that video.

@Avery I dont think it was "majority". From were I stand, it looked like coup was either faked or instigated by Erdogan

@Rahul2001 i.e. the goverment don't want anyone thinking a coup could be a good idea, right?

11:29 AM

@tereško it was.

user226528

@Rahul2001 Really? They don't teach you about Indira Gandhi?

The %96.3 muslim mark of turkey is not correct.

@FleetCommand *Gandhi; That wasn't a coup, not really. And it wasn't good

and, who makes coup, while the person in power is actually safely abroad

It's a pain in the butt to get that removed, so people like me just doesn't bother getting it changed.

Ah... gezi videos, that brings up some memories.

user226528

11:32 AM

Bye superdudes! See ya around.

Ylvis - Jan Egeland [Official music video HD]

then it's first ip would be .... .64 ?

> Turkey now hosts up to 2 million Syrian refugees, according to the recent data. This makes it the country that has spent the largest amount of money — over $5.5 billion — on providing shelter for the largest number of middle-eastern immigrants. Although it was estimated that in 2014, Syrian refugees started more than a thousand businesses in Turkey, many immigrants cannot provide for themselves and their families, which is why they are aiming for Europe where economic conditions are the best, namely Germany, Sweden, Austria, and the UK.

And now people are escaping turkey.

Running SMB1 is like taking your grandmother to prom: she means well, but she can't really move anymore. Also, it's creepy and gross

Tweeted by NerdPyle on September 16, 2016 at 9:49 PM

@Rahul2001 And here we are in the UK essentially putting up a "No vacancies" sign on the door...

Day 700 without SMB1 installed: nothing happened. Just like last 699 days. Because anyone requiring SMB1 is not allowed on my $%^&%# network

11:49 AM

enjoy some rant (vulgar language)

some more

I'm posting those all without VPN so I can demonstrate how we've become a dictatorship with myself.

user image

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

aHAHAHAHAh

@Avery Can I have my rant in textual form please, too lazy to listen...

@Mokubai it's in comments

it links to the comments

@Mokubai Those are links to her comments

Can I be even lazier and ask for them here then? ;D

Journeyman Geek

user image

11:55 AM

no, I'd get flagged.

Is there a site that will zip another site for offline use?

@Nick wget, man

Or httrack

or curl (kinda inconvenient)

no no

I like httrack

I mean a webapp that uses those things on the backend

11:57 AM

Httrack > zip is your best option

so I can even do it from my phone or tab

@Avery So do I!

@Nick Eh, chrome for mobile has offline pages

@JourneymanGeek Where is this from?

It'd be stupid to make such a service

because it's sooo much storage space and internet usage

@Boris_yo Very popular internet meme

Journeyman Geek

11:58 AM

@Boris_yo the internet

@Avery might make sense with relatively limited storage times.

Opera had it long ago but it doesn't preserve interactiveness

@Boris_yo gunshowcomic.com/648

@JourneymanGeek That's internets. Not internet.

Journeyman Geek

but how would you monitarise it and deal with people sueing you for copyright violations?

Also the follow up: thenib.com/this-is-not-fine

11:59 AM

@Boris_yo It's a very popular meme

Journeyman Geek

@Avery in this case... clearly this person has not realised it is not fine

I wonder if there's a meme repository on github

@Nick there's knowyourmeme

Also, one day I shall successfully get a law passed which persecutes anyone who pronounces meme "meh-meh"

2

@Rahul2001 I neither know the actual meaning of persecution and prosecution and how it all defers from the percussion on my drum kit.

12:01 PM

@Avery Is this government's shill?

@Boris_yo no, it's the sheeple's shill

Oh my god, crazy people everywhere.

@Rahul2001 aand maymay

gtg byee

s.ave.zone/944.png - s.ave.zone/bd6.png - s.ave.zone/c62.png - dammit I'm depressed now

12:05 PM

@Rahul2001 meh.com

@Avery Sheeple's shill? Why is this bad?

because it's not all fine here.

not even close

american's are yelling they want to run to canada and hell, I'd happily suffer from Trump in US rather than deal with these people here

Journeyman Geek

:(

@Avery If it was not fine, government would plant it's shills to convince everyone that all is fine and dandy.

how do I know it's not govt's shill? I don't.

user image

WHAT THE HELL

Journeyman Geek

@Avery lots of governments have em

12:09 PM

lol

He can help you identify shill.

Journeyman Geek

And a lot of people... well, actually think things are fine, cause its fine for them

or are scared about the alternative

@JourneymanGeek Okay. You made it clear to me.

In this case it's not a shill really. Just someone who hates to be realistic...

what's the difference

Like that dog meme

@Avery There is no shill in this case. Sheeple don't have shills. It's the ones with evil agenda who have. They try to disrupt reality intentionally.

For it to work they need a social proof - a shill that would serve their purpose.

Journeyman Geek

sigh

12:12 PM

@JourneymanGeek You can explain better I reckon...

Journeyman Geek

@Avery totally feels like shrill to me

there is a type of people here that want to show turkey as all good anyways

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo yeah, you're doing a terrible job at it :(

so that "foreign forces" won't see them badly

Shrill...?

Journeyman Geek

12:12 PM

@Avery or are happy with the status quo

yes

there's 2 types of people who talk like that

@JourneymanGeek A terrible job? You underestimate me. I am follower of David Icke.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo I could say more, but I'm not sure it would be 'nice'

but @Avery's in a place where what she is could be dangerous

There's a time for humour and conspiracies, and there's a time not for it

@JourneymanGeek Most definitely is, not potentially

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 I grant that. My bad

12:15 PM

And I was offered transit flight through Turkey to destination country.

Good thing I didn't take the offer...

Even flying through their airport seems dangerous.

you'd probably be fine but "probably"

@JourneymanGeek You can always PM. I am not a narcissist and open to critique.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo we have no PM system

@Boris_yo or you could just take the (very obvious) hint...

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo but a little sensitivity would be appreciated hugely

12:19 PM

@JourneymanGeek Okay. I have increased my sensitivity.

Small kids who should be in school are coming up to me and begging for food and money. I hate this so much. Everytime that it happens. I don't see how most people just ignore it, I cannot.

@Rahul2001 Where are you from?

@Boris_yo IN

@Rahul2001 ugh, it also happens here.

This is one of the reasons I'm pissed with democracy. It's cool and shizz, but where's the end to the suffering of all these people? Where is the equality that's supposed to be the very foundation? Where's the justice which is promised but never delivered?

Because saying it's "better than the alternatives" is not good enough

Journeyman Geek

12:26 PM

@Rahul2001 cause that's nothing to do with democracy

its more economics

and to an extent, the economic system of the world isn't designed for equitability - simply cause people are... people.

Heh, funny them what they teach us in school is not very true.

@Rahul2001 Example?

Democratic leaders are supposed to be for the damn people. But more often than not they're just corrupt and care nothing about the masses.

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 The problem with most political systems is they're designed by dreamers and run by self interested realists

@JourneymanGeek s/realists/assholes

Journeyman Geek

12:29 PM

@Rahul2001 All a matter of perspective

They are not overseen properly.

Journeyman Geek

and what they do is the best, most self-interested options, for themselves

There is a need for a prime law, agreed by everyone.

It's hard to texualize common sense because it's so deep in your method of thinking, you don't evne realize it's thee until you see someone without it.

Journeyman Geek

Or once you rise high enough, you don't see the little people any more

12:30 PM

@JourneymanGeek A behavior exhibited by psychopaths.

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo lots of political animals are probably sociiopaths

When you become important, it gets hard to balance the ego.

We may not be able to achieve idealism, but that doesn't mean that we stop pursuing it

Journeyman Geek

(also, heavy topics today 0_0)

lol

Get as close to what's ideal as possible

Journeyman Geek

12:32 PM

@Boris_yo gee. In theory that probably refers to me too ;p

One must be pure enough to resist the temptation of ego of self-serving attitude and choose to serve people. Leaders eat last!

see if I got elected I'd probably be like that

it's just that I'm not corrupt enough to be elected

and you know, social anxiety

This might come in handy for those securing against WannaCrypt: support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2696547/…

@bwDraco that is very out of context

This might come in handy: archlinux.org

12:35 PM

lol

@Avery that's the thing. Those who should get elected don't. Often they don't even want to come anywhere near the collosal mess that politics is.

yup, there's also that

@Rahul2001 Politics is a dirty game and you can't come clean out of it. Kennedy tried...

I mean, I would totally dedicate my life to improving lives, but I don't want to go anywhere near politics.

@Rahul2001 It starts with people foremost.

12:38 PM

> Q: How do you know someone uses Arch Linux?
A: Don't worry, they'll tell you.

@JourneymanGeek You can't call them that!

@Avery (dis)advantages?

@bwDraco What you actually need is one of these:

lol

Journeyman Geek

@Bob the "societally challenged" ?

@Rahul2001 pros: full control over how your system is setup, small install size, short boot times cons: hard to setup, can break if you don't know what you're doing

my boot time varies between 4 seconds to 5 seconds

12:41 PM

@Avery here they threaten to stab you :/

@djsmiley2k we aren't talked about armed people, we're talking about beggars

Journeyman Geek

@Avery I think he is

@JourneymanGeek that would be me... I don't see myself using that...

Journeyman Geek

@Nick I think you're confusing that with socially challenged

@JourneymanGeek Ah, yes. And I thought I was good with English. Glad to learn.

12:56 PM

@Avery Also the beggers threaten to stab you

:/

Not even joking

Had multiple 'homeless' people threaten to stab / mug me

i'm 6'2 and not exactly the most friendly looking person either :/

there was a game on the google playstore called "Virtual Beggar", where everyone's a beggar. I thought I was actually talking to beggars o-o

turns out, only maybe yes

Stack Overflow en Español has Graduated!

Juan M on May 20, 2017

It’s been four years since the Spanish site was proposed in Area 51 and we’ve just proven once more that international sites offer much to the users of those communities and to our network as a whole. I would like to announce that the Stack Overflow en Español community has graduated and will form a part of the network of sites as a full-fledged community for developers and coders around the world!

There have been dissenting voices over the creation of other Stack Overflow communities in the past but our answer has remained the same—we will continue to be fanatically engaged in pro …

I'm back!

Journeyman Geek

No, you are @Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek Well, Rahul2001 is back!

Hah, let's see you get out of that one ;p

Who are you then?

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 no @Rahul2001 is @Rahul2001. Back is back.

1:54 PM

@JourneymanGeek Old one. No one laughs when I say that.

@Nick Yeah well, the only thing about you that makes others laugh is your face

@Rahul2001 was the terminator. Now, you're back. Henceforth, Rahul will be back.

(okay, sorry, it was just a joke)

@Rahul2001 No, what makes people laugh is your back.

@jokerdino I am @rahul2001. I am also back. @rahul2001 is also back. It's a triangle. We're one and the same

1:56 PM

Suddenly, the room is full of failing comedians who can't crack a joke.

Journeyman Geek

Naw, you aren't alone

:37535726 I don't get it. I'm their broken condom. I don't see the joke.

@JourneymanGeek @Nick? Of course he's alone. Always has been and always will. Single 4 Eva!

@Rahul2001 Actually, I've had girlfriend(s)

@Nick The joke is that you're a failure in pretty much every sense. And I guess that's not a joke, it's a pretty serious problem.

@Nick Notice the past tense? Failure at that too...
