But on the whole, those expenses, even for a single night out, just don't make sense.

HazyKingdom

@TimStone whose spending 20 dollars on parking for a club each night? lol

MBraedley

@HazyKingdom Someone who wants to get a DUI charge.

Tim Stone

I'm still trying to figure out how you down that much alcohol and have time to pick up your car Sunday after the hangover but before needing to drive back to the club, apparently

MBraedley

For a club with a $20 cover, $20 valet parking isn't out of the question.

HazyKingdom

@MBraedley I'm sure whoever put those numbers together already has a few DUIs.

@Lazers2.0 where do action replays fall in the legal spectrum?

and other such software

HazyKingdom

@TimStone This. If drinks are even 10 dollars, that's 15 drinks. You're driving after this?

MBraedley

@HazyKingdom Even if they're $15 or $25 drinks.

Dragonrage

@BlueBarren well, it is a recommendation question, so i vtc for that

Tim Stone

It's so ridiculous and that's before you get down to where he thinks you're getting away with a 5% down payment on a 500k house

BlueBarren

6:06 PM

@Dragonrage to me it looks like he's asking if he's missed an update

Dragonrage

what is the lethal limit for alcohol poisoning? because I feel like 10-15 drinks is probably going to put you somewhere close to that

Avery

Nope.

Dragonrage

@BlueBarren last sentence

BlueBarren

@TimStone it's similar to the no smoking equals a Lamborghini thing.

MBraedley

@Dragonrage It depends on a lot of factors.

BlueBarren

6:06 PM

if I didn't use any of my money I'd have tons of money

so clearly I shouldn't spend any money

Avery

I know someone who shot 17 glasses of raki and he survived well

except he destroyed his stomach (and a carpet) but meh

BlueBarren

@Dragonrage but it's in brackets without a question mark; I don't consider it a question just a remark on top of the user's question

Avery

Depends on the alcoholic beverage and your body's resistance though.

user15026

@Dragonrage I've done that many shots in a night and survived but they weren't $10 each

Yuuki

@TimStone I don't know why this coming from Hugh Jackman makes things so much better.

BlueBarren

6:08 PM

@Ash I don't think I've had that many drinks in my entire life

Dragonrage

@MBraedley i guess it would depend on alcohol content of said drinks, the bmi, and over how long a period of time you drank them among other things

user15026

@TimStone The nightclub stuff aside how are you getting away with just a 5% down payment

Avery

@BlueBarren yay for naive users' club

not the best word but meh

BlueBarren

@Avery alcohol just doesn't taste good

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Let alone spending every Saturday and Sunday at a nightclub.

user15026

6:09 PM

@BlueBarren If someone else is buying the shots, it's easy to just drop them down (I'm also 6ft and 295 pounds and I have decent tolerance)

MBraedley

@Ash I could have gotten away with a 5% down payment, but I also didn't buy a $500,000 house.

BlueBarren

why would I drink it when a nice juice tastes better?

user15026

@BlueBarren I can totally find you alcohol that tastes like juice :)

Beedrill

@Ash In the US, 5% down is the minimum but you have to pay PMI (mortgage insurance) until you've paid off 20% of the value of the house.

Avery

@BlueBarren what are you drinking though? Some stuff tastes really well but some are bitter etc.

BlueBarren

6:10 PM

@Ash all the liquor I've consumed has also been free but it all comes down to taste for me

MBraedley

@Ash I was going to say just add vodka.

user15026

@MBraedley That works decently well :)

BlueBarren

@Ash well this is the reason I actually got drunk for the first time on friday, I now understand the appeal

Tim Stone

@Beedrill Yeah, it's still exceedingly unlikely you'd qualify in the proposed situation though

Dragonrage

well, ive never had an alcoholic beverage, so ill let you guys figure it out

Beedrill

6:11 PM

@TimStone I put 5% down on my house.

BlueBarren

@Avery a friend of mine who wishes I got drunk more mixes me drinks

Avery

ah

Tim Stone

@Beedrill On a $475k loan? O_o

Beedrill

@TimStone No, my house wasn't that much.

BlueBarren

I mean I'm not opposed to the idea but it's still a, "why bother?"

of drinking or getting drunk

Tim Stone

6:12 PM

@Beedrill Right, okay

Beedrill

I think the prime audience is people who are stuck in rentals so they can't save money but as soon as they don't have to pay for the rental they can make the mortgage payments just fine.

Frank

@Beedrill Manitoba had a first time homebuyers program when I bought my first house; I needed 0% down.

Dragonrage

but it seems like if you are tossing back 20-30 drinks a week, you will probably have a shot liver and stomach

Frank

But I'm putting ~25% down on this next one.

Yuuki

@Dragonrage And you'll die because your provider will consider that a preexisting condition under AHCA!

Beedrill

6:13 PM

Yeah, I'm not planning on buying another house without at least 20% down.

BlueBarren

I want a penthouse

houses and lawns are inefficient

but I want space

and a pool so this equals a penthouse

Frank

@Beedrill Easier when you have equity in a place.

Dragonrage

@BlueBarren but in the event of an apocalypse, you need plants to produce oxygen

Beedrill

@Frank Yeah, selling the existing house will go a long way towards a new down payment.

user15026

I have no real desire for a house, to be honest.

Avery

6:14 PM

@BlueBarren You need to get a Small Loan^TM for that big of a place

I could probably live in a 1+0 place (are those called studios in <places outside turkey> too?) without minding it too much, then again I'm very introvert so shrug

MBraedley

Barenaked Ladies - Alcohol

►

Beedrill

@Ash It has its pros and cons. I wouldn't want a house just for myself, but since I have kids it's nice.

Yuuki

@Ash Same here but local apartment prices are also ridiculous.

user15026

@Beedrill Yeah, since I'm still living alone for the next year or two, a house would be kinda lost on me

Tim Stone

That you can deduct mortgage interest and save on car insurance if you have a garage is also not bad even if that's nonsense

Beedrill

6:20 PM

@TimStone Actuaries, man.

Frank

@Beedrill Around here, its actually cheaper to buy.

MBraedley

@TimStone Not sure you can deduct mortgage interest in Canada.

Frank

@MBraedley You can for rentals. Not for your primary residence.

user15026

I just don't want all the space and all the costs and stuff - an inclusive apartment works for me.

Tim Stone

@MBraedley Stop being sensible

MBraedley

6:21 PM

@Frank Yeah, for rentals it'd be a business expense, so makes sense.

user15026

And I know renting is "throwing away my money" or whatever, but a house is a lot more in terms of upkeep and costs and all that stuff, and it's not just money but also time and such at play there

Frank

The flip side is that primary residences are exempt from capital gains tax.

Avery

One of the issues with house owning (and especially paying over time) is the risk of a disagreement with copayer which can cause unfun effects.

Frank

When you sell it, anyways.

Tim Stone

@Beedrill I was thinking more of the mortgage deduction being nonsense, tbf

Avery

6:22 PM

Which is what we had happen.

Rent is flexible.

BlueBarren

@Dragonrage isn't that ferns are for?

MBraedley

@Ash I don't think it's throwing away money, but it's a cost/benefit question.

BlueBarren

@Avery oh it'll cost a pretty penny but that's why it's one of those "If I ever have excess money" goals, that and a Cadillac CTS-V

Beedrill

@TimStone Oh that does sound like nonsense.

Dragonrage

@BlueBarren ferns are a tad small

Beedrill

6:25 PM

Also I don't think I'm getting that discount but I have a garage.

user15026

@MBraedley For sure, and for me, the costs (money/time/emotional stress etc) of owning are so much higher than renting right now. Especially with not knowing where I will end up depending on where @WorldEngineer gets a job or whatever here when that eventually happens

Tim Stone

@Beedrill Yeah, you can save on car insurance for all sorts of rational and silly reasons, I'd look into it if your insurance bill is a notable expense

Frank

@Ash There are definitely advantages to renting.

BlueBarren

@Dragonrage okay what if I invest in big ferns?

Tim Stone

Like here you can get Nationwide credit for being a member of the Farm Bureau? Zero clue why

Beedrill

6:26 PM

@TimStone I'm really close to not having PMI, and I just redid all my home/auto insurance which made it considerably cheaper.

Tim Stone

They're also notoriously bad about removing credits, I think I had the "Good Student" credit for years after I graduated

@Beedrill Woo!

Car insurance really annoys me because of how much of a rigged game intro deductibles are

We got a credit for paying our bill online but it was only good for a year, added $20 a month when it expired

Beedrill

Someone backed into my parked car and I had to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, and then the insurance mailed me a check months later to reimburse me.

That was stupid.

Dragonrage

@BlueBarren well, according to NASA, Bamboo Palms are among the top 10 most effective plants at removing formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene and carbon monoxide from the air. so maybe get some of those

Tim Stone

Ugh, that is stupid

BlueBarren

@Dragonrage but don't I also want ones that output a lot of oxygen?

Yuuki

6:29 PM

@BlueBarren Why?

Oh, I see.

Dragonrage

@BlueBarren try areca palms (4 plants head high per person), mother-in-law's tongue (8 waist high plants per person), or a bunch of money plants

they produce the most oxygen, that should be enough to help keep the air cleaner, but idk if they would produce enough oxygen to live off of by themselves

BlueBarren

If Morganstein ever pops in here, maybe give em a reminder not to mass edit everything because of how it bumps questions.

Yuuki

@Ash I think you'd find this fascinating.

Dragonrage

@n_palum at least its only 3 questions

MBraedley

6:41 PM

So I just looked into Ubuntu offline upgrades, and they're (mostly) not supported either, so that wouldn't have been a solution anyway. I really don't want to have to rebuild this server, but it's looking like I might have to.

user15026

@Yuuki I knew about the word order, but not the sound order! (there are exceptions to the word order thing, but I can't think of any right now)

user15026

I love stuff like that, how we know without knowing

badp

@MBraedley hm

install media should count as a software source

and you should be able to use it as such

it's how you install off a CD to begin with

MBraedley

@badp Yeah, I'm going to try that first.

badp

otherwise you can set up a local mirror of the ubuntu repos

Yuuki

6:45 PM

@Ash Well, there's "big bad wolf" that they bring up in the article.

badp

then use that mirror

with the necessary fires and walls

Yuuki

Although they say it's an exception because perhaps the sound order supercedes the word type order.

MBraedley

@badp It's actually a CentOS install, but I was complaining about it's worse than Debian based distros.

user15026

@Yuuki Yeah, I meant outside of that.

badp

Ah yes totally

If you're going from 6 to 7 you just have to reinstall from scratch

user15026

6:46 PM

(Although I didn't know about the sound order so maybe they fall into that!)

n_palum

@Dragonrage It's been a few every day for a bit now. It's only 3 questions because another decent amount have been rejected for minimal edit

MBraedley

@badp It's 5 to 6. There's a whole convoluted reason why I'm not going to 7 involving another server that's running RHEL 6 right now, and is not slated for getting updated.

Dragonrage

@n_palum yea, it bugs me a bit because i have sorted by active

badp

well now you know that 6 to 7 is another rebuild

I mow my grandpa's yard every Wednesday; today I decided to bike there. which was fine.... but the way home was against a 30km/h wind. for 8 km. x.x

Yuuki

@TrentHawkins Something something 3.75?

MBraedley

@badp Even the yum update failed. I really, really don't want to have to go through the Oracle install process for this.

Dragonrage

7:01 PM

@TrentHawkins rip. i used to bike to mow my grandparents house. it was about 3 miles

badp

sorry I thought you were talking apt and debian

Dragonrage

it was mostly downhill the way there, but uphill the way back

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Oh yeah? Well, back in my day, I had to walk to my grandparents' house. Uphill! Both ways!

(And also, they're on the other side of the Pacific, so there's that too)

Dragonrage

and once the back tire of my bike popped out of track, so i had to carry it home

and it wasnt one of those lightweight street bikes

MBraedley

@badp The Debian talk was just a comparison of how equally hard it is.

Dragonrage

7:04 PM

@Yuuki let me guess, it was through snow in a hundred degree weather?

badp

@MBraedley I've done pretty much every upgrade between 10.04 and 17.04

MBraedley

In practice, both Debian based and Red Hat based systems should work pretty much the same, with the former using apt and the latter using yum.

badp

sometimes you need to untangle things by hand with aptitude but it's not rocket science

MBraedley

@badp But I'm also doing an offline upgrade.

badp

okay, so getting it running is probably harder

Tim Stone

7:06 PM

@MBraedley Does the process inexplicably involve a GUI wizard that needs a forwarded XServer because they're horrible, horrible monsters?

MBraedley

I'm relatively confident an online upgrade would (mostly) work, but this machine isn't allowed on the corporate network, let alone the wider internet.

@TimStone No, the box has a head.

Tim Stone

Ah

Well at least there's that!

badp

if you're using actual RHEL, and you don't follow RHEL procedures, will Red Hat still provide support

MBraedley

@badp maybe? I'm just waiting for the customer to let us do the hardware refresh we proposed a number of years ago, and provided a rough order of magnitude quote a little more than a year ago, and then all my problems will disappear. Or rather, I'll have new problems, but not at the same magnitude.

Well, that's all the time I have for this problem today.

@Wipqozn How spoiler-y is this?

Wipqozn

@Yuuki a bit maybe

Yuuki

Sony's in charge of the marketing and I know they've already released a really spoiler-y trailer for this Spider-Man.

I mean, Marvel tends to be fairly good about not spoiling in their trailers.

It helps that most of their movies have an Act 1 enemy that they tease so they don't spoil the Act 2/3 Big Bad.

@TrentHawkins The one thing I didn't like about the first Spider-Man movies was they rather de-emphasized Peter's underage genius.

His most iconic ability isn't something that comes from his radioactive spider bite but rather something he invented himself.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki Indeed, but looks like the suit was provided by Stark, and not invented by Peter

@Wipqozn I'm wondering if that's going to be a plot point in the movie.

@Yuuki Actually the trailer makes it really obvious it was made by stark, now that I think about it

Yeah, I think it might be a thing. Like he builds his own suit or something.

Oh apparently, Trump not only told Duterte that there were nuclear subs in Korean waters, he also told him that they were 30 miles off the coast.

if planes didn't work on magic unknown to man, we wouldn't tolerate this

If we could just evolve wings already

I mean, birds have done it, why can't we? Are we not the superior species or what?

user15026

Like I will pay them what tehy want but I am kinda like "oh does that mean its going to be more by like 9 pm when I get home to book it"

Chippies

Man, getting one-upped by birds!

user15026

@Chippies I know! I eat birds. How does something I eat have the cool biology?

Chippies

@Ash you know, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually got cheaper after you book the tickets

user15026

@Chippies oh yeah, once they've squeezed the coins out of me

> Sorry, you think you might be immortal?
> I've never died.

can't argue with that logic

user15026

(Sorry for being grumpy about this. I just want to see my fiance and stuff and aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

user15026

@Chippies that is pretty sound logic

@Dragonrage immortal and invincible are not the same

Dragonrage

you just reminded me of that

Chippies

@Dragonrage that... is correct, yes

@Dragonrage I think I should point out that the source of that comic is NSFW, if anyone was considering going and looking

Dragonrage

@murgatroid99 oh, well i didnt know that. just saw it on imgur thanks for pointing that out

Q: How is it possible to have 2 different SteamIDs64 linked to the same account?

I don't know if it's the right website to ask. I'm currently developing a Discord bot in Python and I have a command fetching Rocket League stats through an API. I also use the Steam API to convert custom URLs to SteamIDs64. This is where things got weird. https://steamid.io/lookup/765611936705...

@murgatroid99 It's oglaf isn't it?

murgatroid99

@Ash yes. The domain name is actually written in tiny letters in the bottom middle panel

user15026

I just recognized the style, but I see that now :P

murgatroid99

I mean, I recognized the style too, but I checked for that because without the comic name in there somewhere, people who were unfamiliar with the site wouldn't really have anything to go looking for

Dragonrage

hmm, went back to the dump i found that in, and apparently it is 88 or so sfw pannels. didnt realize that it had a lot of nsfw stuff

user15026

@murgatroid99 Makes sense :)

On the other hand, a reverse image search goes exactly where you'd expect, so it's probably worth having that warning anyway

Q: Item description box Skyrim

Let's face it, Skyrim's design is great. When you see an item in inventory, it has a characteristic item description box under its 3D image. So, is there an item description box template and the descriptions are saved somewhere? My point is, I would like to design my own item descriptions in th...

@Chippies Thank you!

It's almost like the GOP is actually evil.

GodEmperorDune

> But Rep. John Faso (R-N.Y.), who supported the House bill, called the CBO’s assumption that waivers would affect that many Americans “grossly wrong.”

“Frankly I doubt any state would try to take advantage of that provision,” he said. “I think that is completely out of the ballpark.”

then why put it in the bill if you don't want states to do it?

fucking unbelievable

@GodEmperorDune "We needed this clause for people to vote for the bill, but nobody actually wants it"

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 clearly somebody wanted it

passing laws that no one wants sounds like poor policymaking

passing laws that literally only Paul Ryan would ever think about wanting is basically the strat

murgatroid99

It's not "literally only Paul Ryan". There's a clear segment of the population that would benefit from the AHCA

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 people that want to pay less taxes and healthcare for the poor and the sick gets in the way of that

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune yes, exactly

It's not like it's surprising in any way that a Republican-controlled government is trying to pass laws that cut taxes and benefit the wealthy to the detriment of others. That's been their modus operandi for decades.

In theory, this is even how a democracy is supposed to work: people vote for policies (or representatives who support policies) that align with their own self interest, and the policies that align with the largest groups' interests get implemented.

The problem is that wealthy people have convinced large groups of poor people that things that are good for poor people and bad for wealthy people are actually bad for poor people.

All Paul Ryan clones. Duh

Q: Desolator, Echo Sabre or Maelstrom?

Out of Desolator, Echo Sabre and Maelstrom, which yields the best damage per second per gold? Assume "one enemy with average attributes" and yourself in early to mid-game with "average attributes" as well in DOTA 2 7.06.

Of course, simple tyranny of the majority isn't really the ideal implementation of democracy. The result of that is minorities getting consistently shafted. Which is why we have lobbyists and special interest groups and other things that are intended to convince people to vote for benefits for other people

Dragonrage

this kinda looks like self advertisement

murgatroid99

@Dragonrage Maybe. But it also looks like a genuine attempt to answer the question

user15026

@Dragonrage It just looks like a link to me, I don't see anything that screams self-promotion
