Woah. :o
I've gained more distance from Bwest than I expected.
Think I was 18 days ahead a few days ago. Was worried I was gonna lose it.
Now closer to 20 days. :o
I'm not that worried about losing my title. :D
Oh noes!
Mario Kart 8 has a mode where you can play with everyone who owns a Wii U. It is called “single player modeâ€

32.
69 includes spambots from when we had to manually ban them.
I know. :(
I wonder why vgchartz didn't get a system like this in place.
We've had zero spamming (well zero spambots) since turning it on.

Well that isn't as big of an issue. Members can manage their own trees.
Moderators can manage their spammers. :P
So can people request a perm'ban or just delete their account ?
Only admins should have the power to deleate users.
No. Don't do anything.
Why is this place so un-busy during the late hours of the night?
haha thanx these are great

Lol what in the hell is your signature?
Okay, wat. I felt like I did horribly in the biggest exam I've ever taken (medicine/internal medicine), which I took just over a week ago and yet I was top of the class with 95%. They must've scaled it up. Wtf

dang bro, top of you class. Not bad. What did you pull on the exam?
What do you mean? o.O
I got 9.5, if that's what you're asking lulz
Came as a complete surprise, honestly. I, and most of my classmates, thought the exam was way too harsh, especially with one question that was worth almost 20%.
Wow. That's pretty cheap. Have you used one?
Oh okay, I thought you we're talking about the total for the class, not the one exam.
Pi-Guy : Doctor, what is this growth?
Doctor (possibly goes by Pezus): that's a lollipop.
Pi-Guy : Does it need to get removed?
So I need some sort of computers project for me to work on at school tomorrow. Thoughts?
Make an RPG
Lol, no.
It's pretty much 42 minutes for 9 days. I doubt I could make a text RPG in that time.
Who said text?
You could add some features to the forum? ;)
I would, but they wouldn't allow it.
What are the reqs?
-Something that I could do in class for the last 9 days of school.
-Follow school rules - no guns, naughtiness, non allowed websites.
-Can't download any software
No naughtiness?! Well, I guess you can't make Mass Effect 4 then

Yeah sounds cool.
Run with it!
Doesn't seem like I'll be doing it for class, but I think I'll do it on my free time for the heck of it.
What are you doing for class then?
How do we have so many new members per day (and 214 total) and yet on the front page it says 34 members? All spammers?
Sweden in only a few hours. Here we go! Can't wait to get some sun finally (it's currently around 20°C and sunny there, while here it's like 10°C and windy+rainy)
Gonna get those blindingly white buttcheeks some sun? :D
Well, fudge. Something came up and I had to postpone it lol. Next week it is then.
Ah shucks.
But next week is e3?
yes, I'll follow it from Sweden.
This has to be one of the most comical days of my life. Too long a story to explain here though.
Ooh make a thread about it hahaha.
Nah, it wouldn't really be comical for all of you lol. This is just a series of unfortunate events in the span of a few hours.

Everyone who isn't on a nude beach and/or a woman
My girlfriend just give me inFAMOUS today ;)

would you hate me if i told you that i hate naymar with a passion?
would you hate me if i told you that i hate naymar with a passion?
I will never hate you Banana ;)
But curious... what did you hate about him?
im a barcelona fan, a big one.
he is overrated, costed the club shame loads of money, he is a lair, and ultimately, he is not a good player.
People comparing him to Ronaldinho and Ronaldo (brazilian Ronaldo). should be ashamed. he isnt even close. those were legends. this guy falls down when ever he is touched.
...and this conversation is where we Americans just sit and listen.
or you can learn to watch and play real sports.
I played "football" when I was a kid. For four years. I find the sport very boring.
Must be because the teams in the US and A are not good. PSYCH.
Lol, kidding. Probably many better ones than we have in Iceland (and yet football is popular here)
Lol sucker.
I'm a hockey fan. All the other sports we have here can suck it.
Isn't the World Cup gaining more popularity in America now?
Maybe I'm just biased but in the Champions League Neymar one of the few Barcelona players to show a good football...
It even surprised me because I never saw Messi so bad in the field.
Barca haven't had a good season. I'd say Neymar's been average for their standards this season. Certainly not as good a start as Bale has had.
I think Di Maria made an amazing season on Madrid... even Ronaldo wasn't playing his best but at least it was making goals... Bale was average.
How old is Neymar anyway? Iirc, he is still very young so plenty of time to improve.

Cross gen games are really holding the new gen back. Devs should realise its probably not worth it anymore.
You have an over 150m user base lying on old gen.
Which is why devs need to try and encourage them to the new gen by stopping old gen support. Most cross gen games that have released this year have done better on the new gen. I think cross gen games are only going to be giving that much profit to devs of the big games like COD.
Still 0 topics today. This is getting too dangerous
So on Tuesday I have graduation practice.
Wednesday, my girlfriend who I haven't seen in 5 months is coming.
Friday, another graduation practice and actual graduation.
Saturday a graduation party.
Sunday my graduation party.
Monday E3.
It's going to be an awesome week.
Great. Where has your girlfriend been?
Also, why is there a graduation practice? What do you need to do that requires practice?
Girlfriend lives in Alaska, I live in Wi.
If you don't know what that means, imagine you live somewhere Iceland maybe, and you have a girlfriend who lives in Romania.
You live in a Wii?
Or you could also say Iceland and the North Pole!
Wisconsin = Wi if you're serious.
I could.
This site likes to triple quote while I'm on mobile.

OMG 5 months? That is really really long... I got crazy when we stay two or three weeks without see each other (FaceTime helps)... I never needed to wait 5 months :(
Sad :(
I hope everything goes well and you can see her in smaller periods of time.
What = PS then? Should be one state for each console
Ummm, Pennsylvania.
And actually the distance between me and my girlfriend is about the distance from Reykjavik to Baghdad.
Crazy. What is she doing in Alaska?
She used to live in the same town as me, but she moved to Alaska, about a year ago.
I don't know the exact reasons of why Alaska.
(Yikes, almost said where I live...)
I'm not going to stalk you...
Did she move because her family was moving? And Alaska of all places. Jeez
Yeah. :( the good news is that she will be staying in the guest room at my house for 10 days, so that'll be awesome. :)
After that though she goes back to Alaska.
I'm not worried about you stalking me. :)
Yeah, her immediate family moved there.
I think you need to be worried... Pezus is the best stalker I ever see (in the bad way).
I need to travel to some place with snow... I never saw snow... maybe Canada that is cheaper for me :D
Let me spoil it for you: It is cold and it melts if you hold it with your hands!
Edit: Also, I like eating it. Tastes fresh
That's the problem... I don't have anything close to that here and I traveled to Mexico, Spain/Portugal and US on summer... so I need to fell it.
I hear Alaska is like Iceland, only colder and more American.

Snow is awesome sometimes.
I like it most when it's almost melting, but not freezing cold. Make a snowman...
I love snow. Plus by living in colorado I have access to it 12 months a year.

your just biased ;-) because everybody at barcelona sucked. lol.
so there was a good chance i was gonna go to Japan, but trip was to expensive for me to go. i got really excited about the possibility of going. :-(
They got into the semi-finals. I wouldn't say they sucked...
How much was it? Im going next year or the year after.
they sucked. and they didnt get into semi finals, they got into quarter finals. they just played good against Man City.
around 3700 dollars, thats without personal expenses and dinner. the trip was good, 8 night, hotel, a translator im guessing and some guy was coming who lived there and was gonna show us around. i think transportation was included.

Well thats not too bad. The ticket alone was 1600 when I went to the Philippines, and it stops in japan to change planes.
Where in Japan?
I paid about that much last year for a 3 week trip to Cambodia+Thailand. Doesn't seem that expensive all things considered!
Whats iced up about that is its not. I was going to go from isreal to the Philippines, cause I thought it would be cheapest, but It was the same price, maybr 100 dollars less.
forgot the name of the place were gonna stay honestly, i asked about prices and expenses first. too expensive for me. i could go to turkey for like half of that. and thats the point, i could go to somewhere else for a much longer period of time, or cheaper.
so there was a good chance i was gonna go to Japan, but trip was to expensive for me to go. i got really excited about the possibility of going. :-(
When I've become an established doctor with hopefully some money to spend I will go to Japan. Until then, I will live like a monk

Oh and I'm speaking to you live from Sweden! Funny, the Swedes keep thinking I'm Swedish so they speak to me in Swedish. Thankfully I understand most of it. Too bad they always switch to English when they hear me speaking in English lol.
Accidentally went too far with the train today so I had to go a lot longer route than I otherwise would've lol. Public transport really isn't my strong suit
lol, how much longer was it?
Took like 2-3 extra hours lulz
dang that sucks. are you enjoying your trip though?

I finally got my BFH beta code... but destiny alfa is amazazing... MP is a lot more phone than I expected... I'm gonna need a bigger HDD before the year is out... deleted a few games and still have barely 100gb left
I have 1TB HDD in my PS3 with not much room on their either... will have to probably delete some stuff very soon on that as well :-p
I have a 3TB external hard drive with me right now and only 20GB left.
Can you play PS3 games from an external hard drive?
Silly Pez.
NO ONE ASKED YOU!! :P
Just kidding. I asked you. Is that for PC?

Went to Malmö today, took only about 30 minutes by train. Went to a big mall there and had a burger, bought one t-shirt for my nephew and tried Mario Kart 8 (dem jaggies; placed first). The ride home took me 4 hours though...The fudgy train just didn't go farther than to the end of Malmö (did I mention that the train was absolutely PACKED with people? I could not move at all). So, when the train stopped we had to move to buses to get further. No problem, right? Wrong...If it hadn't been for the lots of other people going the same way as me I probably would never have made my way back lol.
First we had to take one bus to another place in Malmö, where we had to walk some distance to take another bus that went to Lund. But the bus didn't stop in the center of Lund, oh no, it stopped some distance from it so I had to find my way there and walk to take a train home (nearby town called Kävlinge). BUT, there were zero fudgy trains leaving Lund which meant my ONLY option was to wait a fudgy hour and a half for a bus that would go to Kävlinge to arrive. Then the bus took fudgy ages to get to Kävlinge because it had lots of places to stop at (a train ride from Lund to Kävlinge normally takes 9 minutes, the bus took like 30 minutes).
tl;dr: 4 hours of my life I'll never get back only because I wanted to go to a mall. At least I got to try Mario Kart 8...
dang that sucks. Sounds much shitter than our public transport system :(
Oooh I forgot to say there's a strike going on + they had some repairs going on I think.

Whoot platinum! Transistor is a really great game. You guys should try it.
Nothing to really comment on Pi Guy. E3 has been unsurprising. Not much to really talk about.
Let me just turn on my PS.... :(
@Pi sometimes the small computer repair shops will have parts, but you'll get them cheaper via newegg most likely. Micro-center can have really good prices as well
I guess I'll just stick with newegg.
Microcenter sounds cool, but there are none in my state. :(
Some people are really upsetting me. :(
No one here.
On the bright side, college seems a billion times more affordable now. :)

Why is none of you suckers watching the world cup?
Why is none of you suckers watching the world cup?
world cup? is that for international football? I'm sure the all american team will win
Such faceplam, yes it is international. And what do you mean by the all american team?
You know like the best players from the NFL
But... the NFL is American Football...different sport....
And the USA team is pretty average at best...
there is only one football
You're right, American's are stealing the name :)
And the USA team is pretty average at best...
its called "liberating"
American Football or "Football" as it is called in its native tongue is one of the main reasons sports are so popular today other reasons being TV (American invention) and baseball (america's favorite past time)
Everyone knows what "American football" is in regards to a sporting event, but not everyone knows that there is another form of football (I assume your talking about rugby)
If I wanted to become a Vita dev, what would I have to do?
And what would I have to know?
Poor soccer. :(
world cup? is that for international football? I'm sure the all american team will win
pro soccer is still not very popular in the us (while it is growing) which makes it mostly a moot point if its the most popular in the world since the #1 hub of sports and media in the world is the US... meaning the saturation of that popularity isn't as meaningful as the million dollar 1 minute commercials for the superbowl... you know the real football game:P
besides that soccer is boring to watch... almost as much as golf or baseball
(hope you know I'm just teasing I was trying to play the dumb american part, the only sports I enjoy watching on tv are Basketball and Hockey which is rare anyways)

There's way too much money in sport.
Idea: Using VR online to simulate local multiplayer.
You're making me want to watch gamer again
You're making me want to watch gamer for the first time.
I hate it when people downplay VR.
I don't hate it, but I do disagree with them.
VR will be the biggest revolution since the smartphone.
I dunno I think AR will be more so the future than VR... but they both have their place... preferentially I'd rather spend my gaming time with AR than VR because VR would be to inhibiting requiring real dedicated time where as AR could be as simple for me as playing a quick match of COD or free roaming chicago... my current situation and gaming needs in life also prevent me from wanting to use voice commands via a stand alone mic attachment... or headset mic
The problem with AR is that it's still very much science fiction.
The AR today is like the VR from the 80s. Cool, but not even close to what the public wants it to be.
I don't hate it, but I do disagree with them.
VR will be the biggest revolution since the smartphone.
AR is interesting and I do have some ideas for it, but I much prefer VR.
I think VR is viable, but seems like it would be way more hardcore audience than currently exists and thus at best would only be a niche market.
Perhaps.
The best choice would be VAR. Virtually Augmented Reality. All of the benefits of both!
I think that would still be AR... you should watch gamer :P

Thanks for the advice, I'll bear it in mind.
Go on?
Just...homosexuality is a sin in Islam (well I guess it's also a sin in Christianity?) and since many of them are really religious you can kind of see how that would go. They think it's abnormal and they want to avoid them as much as possible (both lesbians and gay men). They think it's a condition that can be cured.
Mario is voiced by the same person as Paarthurnax.
The lines are getting sketchy at this point.
AR augments this reality while VR creates a new one.

I'm a Muslim and I'm fine with it.
Although to be perfectly honest I barely practice the religion...I eat pork, I don't fast etc...I'm pretty much an atheist...but I still call myself a Muslim lol.
Any reason a muslim would feel threatened by a flag?
I'm not sure I follow this comment... is it in direct reply to another post or are you inferring something else? Are muslims afraid of the rainbow flag?
are flags not scary?

that site doesn't seem reputable to me... its written with just enough skew in its voice to lead me not to trust it. I've seen other sites like that and don't trust them as reputable. Not saying the story isn't true, but I'd take the reporting with a grain of salt.
The American flag is awesome! of course we love it! :P its got like stars on it and multi-colored stripes what's not to love about it?
Lol I see that but there's American flags everywhere in the USA while you'll only find English/ British flags here on government building or during the World Cup ;)
It's about pride, unity, hope, and freedom.
It stands for everything America strives to be.

How big is a digital movie?
I don't know. :P
Just want an estimate.
720p with a decent bitrate is almost always in the 4GB area (4-5GB). Might be more if it's a very long movie. The 1080p movies vary widely depending on their bitrate. Most of them are 7GB+.
If you're not looking for HD, the SD movies are most of the time around 700MB.
riderz says 2-4GB for HD but the 2GB ones have shaming bitrate so I would not watch them myself.
What is up with this bitrate crud? I download 1080P movies that are usually 1.5-2GB and they look excellent. I always see people saying the lower the file size the crappier the bitrate, but I can't say I've ever had any issues with films that are 2 GB.

Bought Wolf Among Us on Steam. 66% off. Somebody help me
I'll take your card away from you.
weird gif
Lol, the sales haven't been that appealing for me so far.
1:
I'm very disappointed in how Marvelous Interactive is utilizing the Harvest Moon series. 6 DS games, 3 3DS games. I feel that is far too much. Mostly because they are pretty much ignoring other platforms. It makes sense for them to do that, but I don't like it.
2:
I'm very worried about LittleBigPlanet 3. The usage of new characters that do different things could divide the gameplay. I hope it doesn't become a necessity for 4 players. Multiplayer is nice, but it isn't something I want to use all the time.
3:
I think for the best PM experience (used with the Move controllers) would be to dedicate most of the buttons to leg movements. The back button, I guess feels incredibly natural for grabbing, so I'd use that for grabbing, and perhaps the trigger button for pressing some buttons.
But then all the other buttons, will be used for walking, running, etc, leg movements...
@2 I suspect they'll have sections for 2/4 players like they did in LBP2 or when playing solo have access to each character and have to switch
I hope so.
It was just too monotonous imo. I like a few minutes of talking...
A big pet peeve of mine is when in games, the camera switches to the otherside and the controls switch with it.

This is when it starts to get quiet. Hmm, need to recruit more peeps.
I'm really excited to start college.
I have been so bored today.
I have so much work to do, but I'm just having issues atm. It's been causing me to refresh this page every few minutes. Aw man do we need more posts and posters.
Ahh, I see. What kind of issues?
Sorry guys. I have a lot to say about the game but ive been out with the woman and my family. I started to feel rude looking and typing on my phone. Ill be back tomorrow, ive been up sense 4 this morning and im about to pass out sitting here....
I have a replay system, but it needs to be dynamic and run a large portion of its code in real time.
I've got it working so that position and other data sets work fine, but I'm having trouble simulating button presses.

Sorry guys, like I've been saying, Tinder is keeping me busy which explains my lack of posts here
What is tender?
that's great basil! we need more posters for active discussions!
also 80-90% of us are actively talking in a private area about creating a game together for fun. If you'd be interested in something like that talk to @mmmfishtacos or @Legend
What.the.hell
Where have you been? Lol. I even asked you if you wanted in but didn't get a reply. And the topic was public for at least two days. Do you want in?
I didn't know it was serious lol
Sure

Is she hot?
Yes. And she plays video games (quite a lot actually). AND she watches the world cup (soccer/football).
Yes. And she plays video games (quite a lot actually). AND she watches the world cup (soccer/football).
Sounds like a winner. There was once I time I would have said no. But I think now that I've grown older I've realized that way of thinking was flawed. If you like her, have things in common and get along well, then go for it.
In the grand scheme of things 5 years is nothing.
while that is completely true there is a big difference between an 18yr old female, and a 23 yr old male... compared to say a 25yr old and a 30yr old...
they say females mature faster... but that's not exactly true female maturity is more like a sine wave it goes up and down 18 ~ 22 is on the decline in that regard. On the hand you may get lucky and be able to train her, but on the other hand it just may be better not to get too attached until she starts leveling out emotionally again.
18 and 23?! Are you my sister's boyfriend by any chance, lol.

Women are as different as they are many. Thing is that I don't look at myself as particularly mature either. I'm still a teenager at heart xD
Guys, I need your opinion. 23 yo with an 18 yo. What do you think? Not that it's going to change anything but it would be nice to hear your opinion

Me and my girlfriend have 10 years difference... it is working fine and she looks way madure for his age (21).
Helping my mom with Chemistry homework.
i feel like something was lost in translation there etho... :P
Why is she doing Chemistry homework?
I'm sure he meant "her" instead of "his" but other than that I understood just fine ;o
See, he already edited (lol, or you did)

I wasn't trying to "sound sexitst" men and women are fundamentally different after all. That doesn't mean one is lesser than another, just different. That being said what I was referring to isn't a discriminatory statement, but more of an observation which is based on personal experience and "rumours" (things I've read or heard that seemed to be more scientific in basis). Life does go through stages and these are different for men and women. Also every individual will act and react to these stages differently to different degrees.

Me too, except it was just a pre-made bag into a coffee machine
And I thought Americans were lazy... :-P
Coffee is just ground coffee and water doesn't get much easier than that!
Haha well we only have coffee like that in my home hehe. I can do normal coffee elsewhere ;o
What are you going to do at Walmart? Human calculator?
I hate it when I notice a small error that takes hours to fix because you have to go back and change everything else too
What'd you do this time?
:( why?
For some reason I can't reply to a comment on Youtube, despite the fact I've done so several times already.
Have you set up google plus? They changed things just a few days ago i think
I was replying to someone today, and for some reason I can't reply anymore.
I'm not sure if my google plus is set up.
I can still reply to all the other comments.

Second interview today. This one has me more anxious than the first. :P
Why didn't you just wait for the PS4 version? O.o
The performance is still a lot better than in GTAIV
How did you get it for free?
Well, the PC version then. Mods will change the game.
dang son. Lucky. Still, I got used to the drops (they aren't that big most of the time) and enjoyed the game a lot. You should try that as well ;o
What's wrong with that?
It's just a bit...excessive? Two in a row? Also expensive
@above: A new world will open to you. Too bad you missed the steam summer sale but there's always the holiday sale and possibly the halloween sale.

Oh and DS with a DS is the only way to go. Controls were ported badly over to KB/M
Wow, really?! How old are you again? Well I guess it's not that far to go from the UK. I've never been to the North of Spain.
My hotel in luxemborg was... odd.
It had a toilet room, and then a shower closet sans doors.
You need pics @Legend.
I love belgium waffles.
And that was my first day of work. :)
awesome! how was it?
It had its ups and downs. Mostly ups. Overall pretty good. :) People there are pretty nice. I'm going to be working a bit more than I expected. Which is good and bad.
Why is it bad?
Well pretty soon I'll be going to college and long distance girlfriend make for a tricky combination.

Extra money is always good. But I personally prefer time over money whenever I can (in the future I won't have a choice so...better use what I get now).

Yeah I'm in Belgium.
@Pi congrats on landing the job!
Is this a Eurotrip or something? Seems like you're going everywhere in Europe. Iceland is next
Nah no Iceland.
I'm going around visiting castles and other old medieval places.
Today I touched a relic containing the blood of Jesus Christ.
Pif, that's nothing I walked most of the path he walked carrying the cross and touched a stone that had his hand print erroded in it.
Congrats.
I've yet to visit that section of the globe.
I just saw michele jeneki run a race on tv. She did her little dance like in the kaz gif lol.

Gratz on works and moneys guys. Bout to go have some roast chicken at my Spanish step mum's auntie's flat. Such close relations.
On that subject, has anyone here seen The Man from Earth? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/?ref_=nv_sr_5
No. Sounds interesting though.
Nice Pie I have my first day of work today too...It's at No Frills which is basically a grocery store here in Toronto
Finished first day of work as a Grocery Clerk.
I worked 2 PM to 10 PM (8 hours). Pretty tiring but it wasn't too difficult.
I had to keep asking this one guy what I was supposed to stock because he had the list and he was supposed to train me. I feel like it would have been a bit better if I had my own list though cause it was weird bothering him all the time to ask him what I needed to stock, because he then had to stop what he was doing to help me. I think it's just going to be like this for 3 weeks though cause the manager said 3 weeks is my training period.
Last hour was pretty chill...Pretty much no one at the store and all you do is walk around organizing all the things that the customers left in random places.
About to go to the zoo and later I am dj'ing a wedding... busy day
Texas is cool. Well not literally, but you get the point. ;)
Did you get a job down there? What's the reason for the move?
Graduate school :D I will be working as a Teaching assistant starting Fall next year too tho
Is it bad that I only just realised the new next to the thread title is a button?
So guys, Ebola.
Any thoughts about it?
Scary stuff.
we all have ebola?
The whole thing is really sad, Just imagine getting sick, then when you go to the doctor, your told there is a good chance your gonna die quickly and painfully, and youll be kept in an isolation chamber where no friends or family can be with you.
legend what you doing in canada? lol what province? :p or was it just lay over on the way back?

Well I think it's way more likely that they can avoid death in the United States than in Africa (where death rates are around 90%). Still a deadly disease though.
I thought death rates were closer to 60% at the moment in Africa. Could very well go up though.
Still, I read in the neogaf thread about ebola, that similar diseases in America, while they didn't affect very many people still had a pretty high mortality rate. Something like 33%. No where near as high, but that's still scary high.
I've always read this 90% number but haven't really researched it myself. Maybe you're right. Where did you see 60%?
@other thing: Yes, it's high but you also have to remember that the risk of getting infected is way lower due to much better facilities and more trained staff etc.
Yep.
This is probably what the news outlets I read have been quoting: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/
"EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%."
up to 90%
Maybe that 55% will rise once it stops spreading and more of those already infected die.
Yo, Legend! When are you going to set up a modded Minecraft server?
Once upon a time, I had a dream of a super fantastic device the size of a pool table. The device would project holograms above it and would have slots on all sides to allow any video game title to be played.
Ahhh, to be young again. And also a robot.
Whoever Ninsect is I love you
It's too bad VGC's background is white and you can see the salt shaking out
So you all leave one site to come here then go back to attack and annoy the usual members with petty crud like that.
I need to pm this shame to some people.
Relax Nsanity. How exactly are we annoying them if they don't even know this site exists. Even if we were annoying them, do you think I really care?
Go ahead and PM it, I'd love for Kowen to read this thread.
My word. The sheer pettiness of some people here is remarkable.
I'm rather disappointed that you guys went back to VGC just to cause a stir and to rile up other users. You left the site and set up here, fine. I agree with Nsanity. Just let it go now.
Kowen/seece/nsanity/whoever, cone, and rider.
Cut this shame out. We are all friends here or at least should be. Don't make things nasty.
Just chat without throwing insults and give other posters the benefit of the doubt.
How can you say that while at the same time condoning (by joining in on) the mass "pile on" of what you and members of your forum did to kowenicki? That the kind of rubbish you should be stamping out here from your userbase.
There was nothing wrong with 90% of those jump on posts. They are the result of the attitude kowen had in the thread prior.
If the posts were just out of the blue then sure. Id agree. Reading this thread and seeing the planned wind ups from riderz and pezus though... You dont see whats wrong with that? pezus doing riderz dirty work? ethomaz going back to post one little jab due to comments in this thread?

Apart from the salt gif, they were posted "out of the blue." Go back and read the discussion. Riderz doesn't have a vgchartz account so he posted his thoughts here, while everyone else just posted on vgchartz. Heck going off time stamps you can see most people posted over there before it was even brought up over here.
Thats what Im getting at. The whole Riderz/ pezus thing, causing trouble on vgc then you lot laughing and joking about it.
Yep. Posting a gif of salt dancing around is baiting. Its annoying. Its trying to get a bad reaction out of someone who is already seemingly annoyed.

Haha it's fine.
That's however why I have a fancy TV support that can be rotated.

Is that the TV you play your games on?
We have a 55 inch TV at my house, but the couch is far away from the TV and I hate playing on it. I prefer playing on my small one which is like 20 inches or something like that. I just prefer sitting close with a chair because I feel like I can see better and my reactions are quicker.
lol just went 30 and 4 playing cod ghosts... i barely have a positive kdr overall... 1.05 :P
COD is just full of kids and noobs. If you don't top the leaderboard every game you should be ashamed ;D
Camp? How dare you suggest such a thing? :P ... I've given up on cod now but I played best when my team iced off and left me to get all the kills ;D
well that works well as long as the other team isn't organized... if the other team is organized usually the second person will shoot you after you kill their friend

What are you talking about, carl? You don't get to tell me kowen didn't deserve that after what he said. Say shame and get shame on in return. It's fair play.
I was reading the sales thread and saw a link to his comment there and bumped the thread to not let the gold go to waste. It's not like I was actively waiting for a chance to annoy kowen. Heck, I would've bumped it regardless of who had posted it...
How is posting a funny gif doing "dirty work"? If I had been aware of it before Riderz posted it here I would've considered posted it since it was a good fit.
Are you lot playing name british people until we pin the tail on the vgc member?
The point im making is that you really shouldnt be doing it. It doesnt matter if you would have posted the gif anyway because that didnt happen. You posted it knowing that it was from someone else with bad intentions. You posted something from someone here on another site that you know for a fact would get on someones nerves and exacerbate the already hostile situation. Having fun at kowenickis expense is fine because he deserves it half of the time but posting bait from another user who has bad intentions isnt.
Its pleasing to know that it wont be welcome on the new forum.
Like I said before, had Kowen NOT posted that shaming reply where he says the whole "mob mentality" crud, I would have NEVER told someone to post that gif. You can even see I asked to quote him and linked it to the page where he makes that comment. The dude is just so salty so I thought the gif fit his personality well.
He deserved it, it's done now. Let's just move on Carl.
Let's be honest here, that salty gif didn't cause aggro. The damage was already done prior to that gif being posted, so I don't see the problem. If I linked to that thread and told someone on here to necro bump it, then I could see where you are coming from.

Like i said earlier it exacerbates the entire thing. Just adds to the verbal diarreah being flung at kowenicki and gets more people jumping onto the salty bandwagon. The aggro was already there, the gif multiplied it.
So again are we at an agreement?

I am pretty sure you're carl. But you're saying you're kowen then? In any case, I don't know why I should be making excuses. It was fun while it lasted and definitely something that needed to happen after his own claim. He called a user delusional and you had no problem with that, did you?
Why did the gif multiply it? Only one user responded to it, I believe. Everyone else was already saying how ridiculous kowen looked. Maybe it helps serve as a lesson for him to be less condescending in the future
I think you are overreacting Carl.
I mean there is no problem to post somebody else request in another forum... and the gif express exactly what most users in VGC are saying abou him.
At an agreement for what? You're telling us to not post insinuating posts on VGChartz?
Im not saying im anyone. Who i am doesnt matter be it carl or kowen or whoever. Think of me as a middle man.
Im not saying im anyone. Who i am doesnt matter be it carl or kowen or whoever. Think of me as a middle man.
He called many people delusional with what he said and he was wrong to do it as the numbers show. I disagree with it but what he said isn't at the core of what I'm saying or what I'm trying to do here with you and riderz. I think he was wrong to try put down VizionEck to Legend too.
It multiplies how much it will have been pissing Kowenicki off. Its a needless bump. It makes more people want to join in because its humorous. Look at it from a different point of view.
It is a problem when it is bait from a user who is banned ethomaz.
Im asking not telling. I cant do diddly squat to any of you but i can at least try to build bridges and cut down the hostility.
And splnter cell blacklist is brilliant.
and this forums quote function is a million times greater than vgc.
You're as much a middle man as mustacheman is.
I don't think someone unknown posting a dancing salt gif multiplied his feelings but okay, if you think so.
KowenCarl?
I kid. I hope....
I really don't think more people joined in because of the salt gif. Maybe if the mods had let the thread go on longer, but in the time that it was open I don't think the gif changed anything.
I wouldnt necessarily say that ninsect is an unknown.

I just made some shish kabobs.
GTA V online is so god dang shame. Game takes 50 hours to load, and when it does load online it puts me in a lobby all by myself...Then when I search for a new lobby I get to play in it for 5 minutes before it says disconnected from server!!! And barely anyone is doing any missions so it's near impossible for me to make money to buy shame...GARBAAAAAAAAAAGE
Let's hope it's better on PS4
mmm that makes me hungry.
gta online had so many problems :( but gta v was awesomly fun
no Legend posting about shish kabobs lol
Why does GTA online make you hungry? :P
no Legend posting about shish kabobs lol

i cant believe how big its got
@xev: No but i hope to some day lol
Does anyone find the ice bucket challenge funny?
I poured ice water on my friend today. That was fun
So you showered a friend?
"This may be how Icelanders keep useless foreigners away; by making all names unpronounceable.?"- comment.
Lol this guy is always making some funny videos. He is a cop. Dem teeth so white
Oh. I was hoping he was you.
What. How many tests were there again?
The fudge!

Booked a trip to Stockholm in October. Going to a conference + UFC :D
Congrats! I hope you enjoy my homeland.
I'm sure I will. Already spent 3 weeks there (Sweden) this summer xD
Did you try the lutefisk?!?
lol so apparently the PS4 has DRM, because it wont let you use a xb360 controller...
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=188956&page=1#
yes but it isnt DRM,
Controller exclusivity is supremely anti-consumer.
Certainly not. I try to avoid fish whenever possible

lol pezus drunk? are you guys celebrating the volcano? :P
^Vgchartz, I assume
OT: Slightly drunk
So a lot more drunk?
I'm actually not that drunk. Just slightly tipsy I'd say. Feel a bit numb in my fingers but other than that I am good
Well it's 4 AM here lol. I am going to sleep soon
oh sweet sounds fun, lol like iceland day?
Yeah...
Nah, it's a yearly thing which we call "culture night"...or something. Basically the city center filled with activities and cultural stuff all day and then topped off with some concerts and a fireworks show. Like half the country was here in a very small space.
Lol what does that mean
oh sweet sounds fun, lol like iceland day?
every july 1st in canada, is canada day, we have big partys, celebrate canada, get drunk and have firework shows lol
Well I wouldn't call it Iceland day. That would be more appropriate for something like our independence day. It's not necessarily "Iceland" that we're celebrating, it's just a day filled with cultural stuff (music, street events, free food etc.)
I don't know... even my girl said she gone sleep because she doesn't understand me lol
Wow it's so cool that you gave your right hand a gender!
Michael, you're awesome.
Your picture looks like you are a trouble maker.
Alright well if you insist.

You know how the website is black and white? We tried making it colored!
Indeed my good sir. Let us spread the glory of ?_?? for all the world to see!
Its very important but it still sucks :P
It's awesome!!
Friends! Learning!! Chicks!! (Boys too) Did I mention learning?
That's all well and good but there ain't no video gaemez!!!!
Buy a Vita, play games during class. The teacher will think you are admiring your junk.
To which you will never get a response.
That's all well and good but there ain't no video gaemez!!!!
Super smash bros was super popular at my university.
First time playing the original.

I'll be worldwide someday. :D

In North America, the term school can refer to any educational institution at any level, and covers all of the following: preschool (for toddlers), kindergarten, elementary school, middle school (also called intermediate school or junior high school, depending on specific age groups and geographic region), senior high school, college, university, and graduate school.
Worldwide in the UK.
Globally in the US

I actually found out about this when asking Cone about his school.
He said he didn't go to school, he goes to University. Which made no sense to me at all, until a minute later, I went investigating.
lol America just has to be different
Or maybe Europe just has to be different ;)
i found it interesting that public school means two completely different things between US and UK
from what I read (i don't live there so no firsthand knowledge) was that public school meant schools that were open to all students yet could still be what in the US is considered private schools, and private schools were more elitist in who was accepted

The heck? It's both a school and a University...
Just like apples are both fruits and apples

An Apple is a type of fruit, a University is not a type of school. School just refers to Primary and Secondary Education (Primary School and High School). To refer to them all at once you just have to say education system

lol Legend I'm not talking about official terms, just how its referred to in the UK. In the US I guess if you say school you mean any type of education whereas here if you say school everyone will think you are talking about primary or secondary.
Plz no fight we good friends
You brought this upon yourself. :P
This war has already started.
It ends when we die.

This is war! I'll do whatever it takes to keep my people safe.

UK vs NA!!
FIGHT!!
This time it's more like UK vs. the world I bet. Weird, since Americans are used to being different but now it's UK's turn

Right, public schools are free and anyone can get into them. Private schools are paid for (usually very expensive) and can be the type where you live at them as well.

Time to go to the gym
Gyms are boring. Imo of course. I like team sports or group exericeses more. In a gym its put on headphones. Do the same thing over again everytime and be done with. You dont really learn anything at the gym
I'm setting up another monitor at my workstation.
This brings me to three.

So expensive.. could have done it with a single projector! If you cant tell im now in the pro-projector camp.
Could have done it with a single cellphone screen too!
Also I go cheap on this type of stuff. All screens combined are under $200.
For final dev testing I'll move it over to my gaming set up, but for this stage I don't need that quality or screen size.
dang, where are you finding you screens?
Best Buy circa 2010 during BF. I bought a few of them and just rotate them around as needed.
Nice. I'll be doing it big (working on our game. no, i haven't given up) , once i finally move into my appartment.... My projector is packed up, waiting... :(
That reminds me, i should look for some software, see if there's anything cool.
Guys know anything about Vizio tvs?
Yes. I know a lot.
Before the game's reveal, when you googled VizionEck it'd say "Did you mean Vizio neck?"
Apparently the necks on their tvs break a lot.
I haven't seen a vizio in Iceland. Are they only in America?
For the most part they are only in America.
My first time learning of their existence was in London.
Alright you got me.
All I know is they probably aren't in Iceland.
Maybe....
Tomorrow I'm buying two 25' long HDMI cords and two HDMI to HDMI connectors.
The screen at my desk works fine for game testing, but it's extremely un-optimal for fine tuning 4 person splitscreen gameplay.
With the new cords I'll be able to directly hook up to the big screen.
I'm doing something very similar. And by that I mean play testing 4 person splitscreen VizionEck.
I mean... I'm connecting my big screen to my computer. But you know that already
Is the tv going to be in the same room?
I feel awful. Lost my lunch, laying in bed with a migraine. I shouldnt be here!
Also, quick reply keeps glitching on android chrome.
Chrome hates us.
Also you lost your lunch? :(
I can tell.
In at least 2 meanings of the phrase.
Why does it seem like everyone gets migraines but me? Hope it won't last long, in any case!
That's a weird question. Just lots of people I know!
You give weird answers.
I bought 2 HDMI cables today,
One for computer ->TV
One for PS3->TV
Tomorrow I get my TV. :D
And the day after you get a PS4
Yeah I get really bad headaches too.
That was until I learned how to detect them early and hit them at the source.

The source is a novel, and also a magazine.
Which is?
And a user on vgchartz.
Tylenol.
My headaches are almost always caused by stress. Not like life stress, but stress in the muscles in the back of my neck.
necks are nothing but trouble. We should cut them off
Oh gosh darnit.
I spent an hour debugging the scoring system. Kept having to delete parts and delete parts until I got it to at least work partially.
Even once it was just a single line of code, it still wasn't working though.
The stupid problem was that I accidentally dragged an object into that objects file. So when the code accessed the first child, it was accessing that object instead of the correct object.

I was on destiny.
Got to Level 26 in Destiny. It's better than the reviews suggest, but it's far from a perfect game.
Also I got a profile picture. Thanks to the-Pi-guy and to Kitler for making me get one.
did you join the clan!?!?!?!? :P
But do I need it?
(http://8bitchimp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/GlacialWhitePS4.jpg)
You tell me.
I already have six DS4s, so no.
You will have one more and in white, so yes.
Well yeah I mean I'd like to get 8 total eventually.
What's stopping you, then?
I don't like being stupid with money. I mean I already have 6 controllers.
6 isn't 8 though.
I already have six DS4s, so no.
Well that was a shaming match
And by shaming you mean very entertaining and absolutely hilarious!
Absolutely not. Went from 1-3 to 5-3 in like 20 minutes. shaming defense combined with shaming ref.
Hilarity combined with entertainment.

I'm needing to buy a capture card. I've used fraps in the past but at this stage that isn't going to work anymore.
So my needs are 1080p, 60fps, essentially lossless video and essentially lossless audio. HDMI input and HDMI output right?
BasilZero you have experience right?
Based on the little bit that I've read, 1080p60 is with slim pickings.

Well getting 1080p and 60 FPS is easy on a rendered video - I've done it through Sony Vegas. As for recording from the actual system - afraid I dont have much experience in that ;x.
I've been using FRAPs for all my videos lol.
I found http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/products/live_gamer_series/extremecap_u3/features/en
Looks like what I need, and is cheaper than the alternative. Look good?
Also how is Sony Vegas? I have to use blender for all my editing :(

I'm feeling really good about VizionEck.
I'm so excited for what I'll be sharing soon and I'm super excited for stuff that won't be discovered until post release.
Like you will be amazed.
tonight is my last day of doing display refreshing at gamestops in my area... been kind of fun setting up the displays
I have a phone interview shortly for a full time position with another company soon and I hope it goes well...
Best of luck!
Can anyone recommend me a good laptop (that can run games on high)? I don't want to spend too much either so the cheaper the better.
Do you have a specific price range?
Anything up to £800 I guess. not too bothered about resolution
No I don't trust it either so I'm going to leave it. I'll take your advice and wait for a while but I'll keep my eye out for good deals (on website I trust) :P
I like newegg.com and tigerdirect should be decent as well... or even microcenter
i think my ps4 disc drive just broke... fml
Have you tried turning it upside down?
i doesn't grab the discs like it used too... I dunno whats wrong with it... I'll try that I guess, but it isn't reading discs at all now... was working fine earlier
Send it in, let your warranty do the talking.
I didn't buy the extra protection )o:
and don't want to be without my ps4 for months...
-Guy was looking for Sims 3, but we didn't have it in stock.
-Bought a steam card to buy it on steam.
-I was super worried that he wasn't going to find it on steam.
-Find out now that The Sims 3 is the only mainline sims game on steam. Lucky guy. :)
So haven't been here much recently; but University has started again today.

I helped!
I just took an offer for a full time position at my company... a lot of hours but decent pay... still it means a lot of changes for me. I'm both anxious and excited at the same time
There's only been one post in the past hour. WTF people?
Bwest of luck man
been busy setting up my work email to work with outlook as well as some other things with it...
Thanks! I've been working part time for this company for over a year now and hopefully in another year I can find another position else where to further my career goals as the pay is entry level, but may easily transfer to other roles and positions that are more office / business professional related. Such as Marketing or Public Relations type jobs.
I forgive you. Now what's everyone else's excuse?
I am going to Sweden shortly
So are you there yet?
Which part of Sweden?
Stockholm this time around. Yeah I'm there. Chilling in my hotel room. It's very nice
Lightning just struck within a block of my house. So cool!
i havent even seen a kmart since i was a kid.. i thought they all bit the dust in the 90's lol I had a zellers nearby but it was replaced with a target.
Went to my local Kmart today.
That place really sucks.
It felt weird going in, but going to the game section was just awful. They barely had anything. Didn't even have a place for Mario Kart 8. Only notable thing they had was about 8 Wii Us, and 2 PS4s, and 1 3DS. That was all they had for systems.
About half the game case was empty, without even a tag for a place.

A few times, I've seen my coworkers push people towards a faster router, despite the fact that they probably wouldn't see any difference compared to a slower one. :P
But does the faster router have better wifi?
More than likely. Haven't looked, but they just talk about numbers.
"Streaming? You'll probably only need this 300 one." "Playing games a lot? I think the 600 or better would be better for you."
All these people online, and yet no posts :(
600 dollars!?
600 mbps. :P
Overall I doubt many people would have internet fast enough to take advantage of it.
Most of my coworkers know enough to be able to answer stuff accurately-ish, but then there's the other guy, who always seems clueless.
where that speed really comes into play is how many devices are connected to the wifi I think...
Yeah but only if they are talking locally right? The internet speed would still be the bottleneck.
I want to get back in to the puzzle business.
You're already in it. ;)
The current place I sell my puzzles is/has effectively shut down. I need to do some work in order to get back up and running.
I've heard that excuse before.
Hahaha the 3D printing company increased their prices by an extreme amount. A puzzle that would cost $50 to produce, now costs $300 dollars to produce.
So I'm thinking of bringing production back in to my control. Could make a puzzle that used to cost $50 to produce, only cost $10 to produce.
Man this site has been dead while I was in Sweden
Man this site has been dead while I was in Sweden
Maker bot.
Makerbot is too low quality. The 3D printers I use cost around a million.
There are others that do high quality prints in the thousands. The best one I've seen uses a projector and the part rises out of resin as it prints. Supper cool.
SLS is what I need. Cheapest ones of those are still more expensive than houses.
I'll look that up later. Have you seen the one I'm talking about? The parts look perfect. Sorry I don't know the name of it.
Yum waffles
I like waffles, but really dislike pancakes for some reason
a little bit more atleast! the parity thing got some people around.
Yay we are active today!

We tested a laptop with the GeForce GTX 980M card, the new Asus G751J. In our standard gaming benchmark tests, the Asus ran our Metro: Last Light test at high settings and 1080p resolution, at an impressive 45.7 frames per second. BioShock Infinite at the same settings ran at 115.8 frames per second. By way of comparison, a similarly high-end Alienware 17 laptop with a last-gen GeForce GTX 880M card ran the same tests at 25.3 frames per second in Metro: Last Light and 80.3 frames per second in BioShock Infinite.
That's pretty neat. There's no way I can afford that card though :/
Biggest thing is that it's a big improvement. 970M will hopefully be available in cheaper laptops sooner than later. :P
Also, I'd guess that a 960M would be faaar better than what you were previously looking at.
Why?
Because some applications only start in the primary monitor, and for some games I want it to start on my secondary monitor. Which is my TV.
You should be able to force them to secondary.
Also in screen settings you can swap the screens.
I'm trying to get it so I can have a console experience on my TV (or pretty close) and a computer experience on my monitor. :P
You could buy a console.
Dun dun dun!
Cause that seems to be popular hahaha.
If you can make some kind of functionality where clans could pvp together I could see them being decently popular.
The game.
Also you need to wash a pan.
Which game?
Wait, there's only one....
I think it depends on what you do with it. If there's a benefit/purpose to it, then yes. If not, probably not.
Well it already has the points and essentially a mega clan including every player. Yeah I think I could do something cool.
I feel like I would have a ridiculous amount of fun just programming rain and waterfalls and what else have you.
Yes and other things. :)
Like a waterfall and rain simulation?
I suppose thats one way of looking at it.
Well what's another?
PS4 advert just came on during England game, showed Destiny, Driveclub and Far Cry 4 then Destiny white bundle. Also said "the word's most powerful console"
I have yet to see a driveclub ad. Tons of fh2 ones.
So, I've been having this issue with my wi-fi.
Pretty much every time my mom's laptop connects, it kicks off all the devices from the wifi and most of them are completely unable to connect until the modem/router has been reset.
Yeah I had issues like that. Didn't notice a device was causing it though.
Heh
Guess I do still have xbox gold.
*dramatic music plays*
So I just got an e-mail from college and it turns out they've negotiated a deal to get windows for free for all college students! I'm currently downloading windows 10 technical preview, I'll post my impressions on it here if you want me to
Windows is giving me the "You need to format the disk in drive X before you can use it" shame for my 3TB hard drive filled with awesome stuff!! What can I do?
no ntfs
That's just shame! I bought it a few months ago...
how?
Oh I'm trying the chkdsk command
Yeah lol. We haven't conceded even one goal in 3 games. 3-0, 3-0 and now 2-0 against the Bronze team of the WC!
Windows is giving me the "You need to format the disk in drive X before you can use it" shame for my 3TB hard drive filled with awesome stuff!! What can I do?

Yeah. We need to build back up!
:O
Oh you edited my post n_n?
How'd you make it that size or does it auto resize them?
It auto resizes pictures.
Where you using the img tags?
Ooh ok
Yes the one that is embedded into the site and then linking with the photo links.
The previews for some reason showed it blown up o.O.
There's been PS4 adverts on during every single football game I've watched in the past week, looks like Sony may be really going for it this year. And that's on different channels as well (ITV and Sky sports)
Did you watch the NL vs. Ice game?
Fixed it so all images are now resized correctly. Let me know if you encounter any issues.
I've hit over 500 posts!
You're incredible! I sent you a gift ;)

Sooo, this gen is all about the 70-80 rated games!
yesterday I had over 100 stores to cover... today 1 whole franchise disappeared from my paperwork with no heads up or explanation given...
LAME!
lost 25 stores from my coverage
Ohhhkay...
well 2 out of those 25 I went to today, and they got removed from my paperwork while I was out so I basically lost about 2hrs of work... or rather did it for free...
I'm a product vendor so i go to a lot of stores to check on my product's inventory, displays, and stuff like that
Ahhhh, that makes sense.
Cool stuff, well not the losing business stuff though.
Yup. I personally blame the gaming journalists for this.
Scores were ridiculously bloated last gen so I blame nobody
Wait, can I get a summary? I don't know what I'm watching
Curse you low odds!
Some WIP shots of a pistol I'm modeling. It's really for my Stewie Griffin model that I have to do for my organic modeling class, so for that it won't be too high quality of a model. But overall as it's own model I want to make it as amazing as possible. I NEED THE PRACTICE!
I believe it's been maybe an hour to an hour and a half modeling it. I'm watching TV so I get distracted! :-p

What I'm thinking about right now is when you aren't as close to a friend as you used to be.
I feel like that happened on here, and in real life too.
I don't talk to some people as much as I used to, and some of my best friends I've hardly talked to at all over the past few months. It's just depressing.
Now I'm wondering how many people care about me as much as I care about them. That's a different ball game though.
Same way.
I have friends I haven't talked to in waaaaaaaaay to long irl.
Who doesn't care about you here? :(

I just had a Wisconsin Buttery Double Steakburger from Steak and Shake. It was amazingly delicious.
I miss teak and shake, the only thing we have close to that here is freddies.

I went to Five Guys a while ago. Honestly I found the burgers to be over rated.
Agreed
I'm slightly tempted to make a burger thread.
I don't know what it would entail though.
Living in Wisconsin is awesome. Cheese is super cheap.
Do you have a hat shaped like a cheese wedge? Cause that'd actually be a pretty fun novelty to have.
Remember how I used "forum announcement" as an example?
Nope. Its not coming to mind.

Do you ever come back to your game and go "When did I make this?!"
I gets ma fibre optic interweb connections soon!
I never do that, but way too often I come back and think "fudge this is good stuff! Which stars aligned to make my old work so perfect? I'll never be able to match that quality again. I must have just got lucky."

my local mountain got its first snow!!!! so excited for winter

My local mountains still have snow from last year!
lucky :( do they have summer glacier skiing?
dang lol it can get warm here in the spring. t-shirt skiing is awesome
They don't as far as I know.
dang lol it can get warm here in the spring. t-shirt skiing is awesome
lol you just gotta be confident you wont fall lol ive ski'd while it was like 18c out lol vancouver is really lucky to get weather like that in the spring lol
Wow, t-shirt skiing! That completely blows my mind
lol you just gotta be confident you wont fall lol ive ski'd while it was like 18c out lol vancouver is really lucky to get weather like that in the spring lol
lol try indoor skiing. I think the uk has a few I think. We also get cold in the wunter lol belaclava weather. Lowest ive ski'd was -40c with the windchill. That was brutal but fulfilling lol
Sounds awesome, I've just always associated skiing with freezing cold weather and big coats. I wanna go skiing one day but not on a mountain lol

ya I buy the little hand warming packets by the box load lol gloves wont keep them warm at temps like that. Also take breaks every few hours in a heated vehicle to eat. Usually its aroubd -10 to 5c up on the hills. Those are just the extrene temps we get. Good thing about nountains though is you can get days wuth 1 to 2 feet of fresh snow lol going off small cliffs is easy
Yeah there's a chill factor close to where I live. I'll have to go sometime. Holy shame -40C :o and we complain when it gets below 10!
UFO guys.
According to a retired general up here in Canada, they're real D:
Of course ufos are really.
It's alien spaceships I'm skeptical about ;)
I abducted someone in my UFO once.
Details man!
I was beamed into a space ship then came back pregnant and gave birth to an alien
I was beamed into a space ship then came back pregnant and gave birth to an alien
That's crazy! Did the gov. take your baby?
That sounds like an anime I watched once. Except, instead of space ships, it was the demon realm. Instead of aliens, it was demon monsters. Instead of birth, it was birth.
Nah I got to keep it and raise it but it didn't grow because I turned aging off
wtf why would you do that?
No one wants a baby forever.
But if I put aging back on for the baby to grow then I would grow too!
Geez you need better mods.
I can't mod life unfortunately
Why? Did you upgrade to the newer version?
Yeah I did, I like to keep up to date in life
Is that supposed to be on the front page?
I mean tay tay.
Well all the ad networks out there suck, so I'm making my own.

It's very strange knowing the secret behind the curtain, and still starting to personify it.
I know, but it touched my heart.
And several other places.
How did tentacles come out of your computer screen to touch you? @_@
@Legend
Could you tell me about coil whine?
Coil whine is mechanical resonance of the coil with the frequency of the signal passing through it. Physically, a coil is just loops of wire, sometimes with a core other than air. If the frequency of the signal is in resonance with the physical wires of the coil, the coil may vibrate. Oft times, the vibration is beyond human hearing (yokes in TV's can do this), other times it's in the range of human hearing.
There are many electrical parts/circuits which can cause whining noises, so don't just assume you are hearing coils. "Annoying buzzing/electrical sounds" are unlikely to eminate from a coil - you have something else making noise. Whining is caused by a part (or parts) physically vibrating.
Unto itself, voltage is not going to cause a whining sound. Voltage is electrical potential (actually, EMF); current through a device is dependent on the voltage across it. With a CPU, changing the voltage probably changes the operating frequency of various components within the processor (I really don't know what is changed), however something is probably in resonance with the signal. If you can narrow down the source of the noise, you may be able to reduce or eliminate it. Try using the paper tube from a roll of paper towels to "listen" to various parts of your system to locate the source.
Also your picture is bs. Yuck
I know it's BS. :P
I see lots of people basically say that high frame rates cause coil whine.
keep watching till the end, it explains the beginning ;)
you should be smart enough not to read youtube comments lol its one of the worst sesspools out there lol

Wait...
Also without your Crash Bandicoot avatar Xevross I barely recognize you!
Guess you could say the same with me, not having my dog...but I haven't had that in a while anyway. Well it'll be coming back this weekend so there's that to look forward to. Maybe I'll mix things up more here too.
I had Crash but decided to mix it up a bit. Dragon Age is the game I'm most hyped for right now so I chose that. Yeah sometimes if you go by avatars it can get confusing when people change. You're one of the names remember though, even if at first I remembered you by the dogs ;D
I remember playing hours of Spyro skateboarding, so your avatar gets a +1 Nostalgia!
Makes sense, DA does look amazing after all. And yeah, no doubt an awful lot of people remember me by the dog, at least before I became a mod anyway! Maybe I'll be more popular again when I get Flye back in a couple days.
Am I being blind or do most users not have an option to add as a buddy on their profile?
?
I'm going on to users profiles and where some have "Add to buddy list" most users don't have anything there and I can't figure out how to add them
Nope!
Lol maybe, why don't you have the dog at the moment?
Well there aren't any options to disable it...
Which user are you talking about?
I promised Ka-Pi that I'd keep it until the next episode of AT came out; thinking it'd be a week tops. Ended up being two and a half months...but I'm a man of my word!

I've typically found that Android is more open, you can get emulators and stuff.
Whereas the apps on iOS typically work better from my experience.
It's funny, cause Legend actually carved this pumpkin.
Lol I was about to say it looks so shame that Legend probably carved it

I showed you mine.
The truth is that I errr don't have a pumpkin
Nice profile picture. Very festive.
Thanks! I carved it myself.
We should have the pumpkin be our profile pics for a few weeks and set it up so that it start rotting. Once it gets gross we set up Christmas, and then on Thanksgiving day we will have Thanksgiving day stuff, then back to Christmas.
Got a free digital copy of Ryse for buying the sunset overdrive bundle, but I already got the game(for free) on disc so if anyone on here knows they will get an xbox one sometime I can give you the code.

Halloween madness.
Pretty much. Had to deal with lots of problems with friends, had to do lots of work and also had to deal with lots of issues on VGC. There really hasn't been a quiet moment for sure.
Getting any rest tomorrow?
Probably not, no. Didn't sleep last night (didn't go out but because of the friend issues I had to help them out) and was going to have an early night tonight, but there's things on VGC which require my attention right now so that seems unlikely. And tomorrow will likely be more of the same from today.

Let some of the other mods do the work, for pete's sake!
@Legend: I just had an idea. What about counting, for each user, the number of posts in threads we've authored and displaying said number below the post count?
Example for mustache:

Posts in his threads: 10051

Aside from that, I like the idea pezus. And yay, 200 posts!
just to explain the "why" for the idea: I think it can get people to make more threads and more importantly, more interesting threads!
Yeah I already added that info to the stats page, so adding it in threads aint a problem.
Why does it not work like that on Vita? :/
Apparently the remote play to an xperia z3 phone works over the internet not just local wifi! I had no idea... so that means if I bring a ps4 out with me I can play games on my ps4 as long I have a good internet connection (o:

There should be a way to make a bet.
A "machine" that works by having two or more users put in bets and the values that they want to determine on.
Then have users complete the bet by putting in the actual number. If the users do not put in the same value it goes through moderator review.
What will Uncharted 4's meta be?
Input bet
joethebro (92) 5 credits
Raven (92) 5 credits
Pi-guy (97) 10 credits
Ethomaz (82) 5 credits
Input result
joethebro (92)
Raven (92)
Pi-guy (92)
Ethomaz (92)
12 credits ->joethebro
12 credits ->Raven
or
Raven (92)
Pi-guy (92)
joethebro (92)
Ethomaz (82)
*mismatch*
Moderator (92)
12 credits -> Raven
12 credits -> joethebro
Thus allowing bets to be flexible, but also more automated.
But what about more complex bets?
Give an example of a more complex bet, that you have in mind.
"I bet you I can eat 10 marshmallows in a row without chewing"
joethebro (yes) 15 credits
Pi (no) 15 credits
moderator reviews video:
No
30 credits -> Pi.
Yeah I'll put it on the back log unless you want to code it. I'm having to focus on the game.
Also, so many downvotes makes me sad :(
i just applauded you. but i will smite you later.
Well, better than nothing!
Also where is your sig from?
you....... you..... never watched the simpsons?
I'm upset that the division will have dlc first on xbox one... I don't want to pay for two online services nor get a game that is nerfed to compensate for the weaker console
Waiting for the dlc is always an option. That's not really a downside since everyone on PS4 will get it late too. Plus, it will be like 2 weeks to a month at max
I must be really out of the loop. Fill me in, somebody. No, not you, @Raven.
Oooh, cool. Thanks!

how many people got gta? there is a glitch in it right now that is extremly useful lol
basically limitless cash as you can multiply your cash by 5x every minute lol
i dont think so lol the glitch uses the stock market, and when i hit sell all, it would only sell enough to get me to the max, and leave the rest in stocks. all of my guys now have well over 2 billion, as i just invested in other stocks lol just incase they patch it and i want money in the future.
But does it still have the negative glitch?

the glitch is weird, you find a stock on the lcn with the worst drop on the list, buy it with all your money. then instead of going to your portfolio, you go back to the list, click on the stock and then sell all, and it messes up the math and you gain a huge profit. so you just do it like 5 times and your a billionaire.

me... to install a nest thermostat in my house!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT, but since my breaker box isn't labeled I have to turn off the entire house )o:
dont you have a volt meter? Lol
dont you have a volt meter? Lol
Or a lightbulb and some spare wires?
ah okay, i have a couple left over from my apprenticeship lol they are good to have as you never know when they might come in handy. or as Legend mentioned you can just wire in a light to test it, or a plug and use a lamp lol you can also just short it out and see which breaker trips :P
I do not have a volt meter as I'm not an electrician or normally need one...I could have done trial and error to test which breaker it was on, but it was just quicker to turn off the main to the house instead

but i guess turning it all off isnt to bad if you have enough natural light
edit: this makes me think of a good question, how many people here have been electricuted? ive felt 240 a couple times, and 120a whole bunch lol
yea thats probably a good idea lol makes life easier for any emergency fixes. i hate having a breaker box that isnt labelled, both on the door, and under the cover plate lol
yeah it seemed like the quickest option lol... one day probably would be a good idea to test which breaker is what to label it though
ah okay. well that shouldnt be to hard to figure out if you ever get around to labelling it, and its better than have 4-5 different heating circuits lol
no baseboard heating, I have heat pump (electric)
I did the compatibility checker on nest.com before installing the new thermostat
ah okay. well that shouldnt be to hard to figure out if you ever get around to labelling it, and its better than have 4-5 different heating circuits lol
have you done much electrical before? some people get intimidated and confused, but its rather easy if you understand it.

Yeah I made a post explaining what was going on in the other thread.
Web page development class.
Yay or neigh?
Depends.
What do you want to do?
The same thing as you, but I have a 2 - 3 credit gap that I could fill in for my course load.
Well for game development html isn't really that useful. It's a coding language not a programing one.
However it's a nice skill set to have and the "design" aspects of it certainly help with game UIs.
Will the class cover PHP?
Yeah I know. :PThis is what the description gives me:
Development of web pages using HTML and Cascading Style Sheets. Introduction to XML documents and XHTML standards. This course involves extensive hands-on experience.
Eh sounds fun.
Go for it!
Maybe, your "Eh" sounds very unconvincing.
Otherwise I was looking at EGR 105 or 201.
105 doesn't seem as interesting as 201, but 201 doesn't transfer to my next school.
Or not take another class and leave it as is.
Haha I'm not you. I don't really know your situation.
So you want to be an engineer?
No, I just want to have fun.
In the same way I don't want to be a chemist, I would take Chemistry because I'd like to have the class. Learn something, have some fun.
Engineering is not that fun at the lower level.
Why's that?
All conceptual and more of the tedious basics. You probably wouldn't make a lot.
We're going on 3 hours with no posts.

Anyone here played Xenosaga? I'm thinking of hopping into it.
I have all 3 of the Xenosaga games on PS2.
I beat the first one and played halfway through the 2nd one (bad habit back then when I use to quit RPGs halfway XD).
Anyways Xenosaga is pretty fun - the story is really deep and the music is amazing. I recommend it!
Alright. I hear the second one is the underdog of the trilogy, and the third one is the best. I'll have to keep this in mind. How is the gameplay by the way?
Yeah the second one is really weird - ironically its very similar in design to FFXIII (no NPC interaction, shops, etc).
Gameplay in Xenosaga Episode 1 is like a combination of Valkyrie Profile (you can have 4 types of attacks), you got your ether attacks (which are magic spells) and there is a little turn map (indicator similar to Final Fantasy X where it shows you who will go next in turn) and they got this thing called "Boost Gauge" which increases as you attack more or do certain commands and lets you go another turn before the boss kinda like intercepting attacks if I remember right o.O.
Oh and the Mech system is kinda similar to what they had in Xenogears.
Shame the series ended in a cliffhanger from what I heard due to developmental heck and all sorts of issues going on with the dev group :/
It ended with a cliffhanger? Hmm...Maybe they are trying to tie it up with Cross.
Nah there was supposed to be more games but the dev group broke up after several issues (mainly being III selling poor as well)
Supposedly Episodes IV, V and VI were in the works or ideas were being made but were all cancelled by Namco.
Any chance of a Xenosaga sequel after III is gone since Nintendo now owns Monolithsoft and the "Xeno" series is pretty much being reimagined in their point of view (i.e. Xenoblade).
Though there is a high possibility that Cross is a prequel to Saga.
Really? Source o.O?
e3 trailer shows a hologram of the Zohar in the background. I haven't gotten that far in Xenosaga, but they said that they abandoned earth for some reason. This might be explained, but if not then that's exactly how cross starts.
So my dad complained to our internet provider today and this happened:

A young girl is playing in her bedroom when she hears her mother call to her from the kitchen, so she runs downstairs to meet her mother.
As she's running through the hallway, the door to the cupboard under the stairs opens, and a hand reaches out and pulls her in. It's her mother. She whispers to her child, "Don't go into the kitchen. I heard it too
What the shame??

Yeah the second one is really weird - ironically its very similar in design to FFXIII (no NPC interaction, shops, etc).
Gameplay in Xenosaga Episode 1 is like a combination of Valkyrie Profile (you can have 4 types of attacks), you got your ether attacks (which are magic spells) and there is a little turn map (indicator similar to Final Fantasy X where it shows you who will go next in turn) and they got this thing called "Boost Gauge" which increases as you attack more or do certain commands and lets you go another turn before the boss kinda like intercepting attacks if I remember right o.O.

She wants you to teach her Python, duh.
Btw I hate Mozilla for ending their relationship with Google - now we gotta deal with fricken Yahoo on Mozilla search engine >_>.
What?
Yeah what?
Mozilla Fire Fox will now use Yahoo Search Engine as its default built in search engine instead of Google.
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/11/mozilla-ends-google-relationship-firefox-will-now-default-to-yahoo/
You know whats sad about this? Mozilla's already putting up "Please Donate" ad like signs on their browser front.
By the way the article reads - it seems like 85% of the monies Mozilla's been able to make to stay strong was from Google so...ya XD.
Hmm.
Maybe I should use bing.
Alright guys, the first problem here is that you guys are using firefox.
Just switch to Chrome, and all problems will be solved.
There was one time I opened 5 tabs in firefox, and it crashed. Multiple times. "Oops, this is embarrassing, we just crashed, would you like to restart?" Or something like that.
And here I am over here with 30 tabs spread across 3 windows on chrome. Running smoothly.

That one and the java book should come today.
Is this a thing? Never heard of it before
Nice.
Which game design book is it?
i caught this guy this morningSpoiler for Image:
its pretty big although it looks a tad hungry
edit: I think its a Hobo, but not 100% sure. If it is, not one you want to get bit by lol gonna b hard to find this guy food, its been so cold other bugs are mostly gone
but its so awesome! and huge. you can actually watch it drink. and although i dont have a good enough camera, you can actually see the fangs lol
You aren't human.
but its so awesome! and huge. you can actually watch it drink. and although i dont have a good enough camera, you can actually see the fangs lol
its poisonous to, most likely wont kill you, but would mess you up pretty bad and would need an ER trip lol when i caught him i thought it was just a normal house, but when i took the pic i realized the markings on the abdomin and ID'd him. atleast im pretty sure thats what he is, matches all the "look fors"
:o You're a madman.

I was looking at some online collages, Anyone hear anything good about them?
I was checking out the university of phoenix and the job placement rate was scary...
ooo awesome im excited!!! ive caught many over the years, but never had them proper id'd. just did my best doing reading and matching pictures. i love catching them, but they do give me the crawling feeling. after a day or 2 though of catching a new one i get past it lol they're fun pets
Once Neverdies gets on he can confirm that for you. He knows so much about spiders and insects.
I've had a few pet spiders through the years. They are fun!
ive heard of those guys, i wanna see one lol we dont get any really big spiders here. Do you know if mine is a hobo or giant house? im still trying to determine
These suckers run so fast and have such long legs, they GALLOP when they run.
Literally galloping giant spiders.

Apparently I lost 7 lbs in the past year. :o

Yep. I look forward to 12/13/14 next year!
But it was 13/12/14..... :(
Crazy! Aren't you supposed to be growing??
Is that good or bad? I've lost about 17 lbs in the last year, which is a good thing for me :)
How tall? I'm 80 kg, I think I've gained about 3kg in the last year (which is a good thing!)
It's not good, I'm pretty trim as it is.
Before - 70 kg.
Lost - 3 kg
How tall? I'm 80 kg, I think I've gained about 3kg in the last year (which is a good thing!)
Hmm in that case 67kg is not much! Do you go to the gym/practice some sport?
183 cm.
Hmm in that case 67kg is not much! Do you go to the gym/practice some sport?
I am 186cm and 80kg.
Your BMI is almost exactly 20. It's a bit low but not "too" low. Mine is around 23.
6 ft.
155 lbs before. There. :P

Did you think 23.5 was too high?? That's perfect!
Just worked out my BMI, 20.9, down from about 23.5 a year ago :)
Well what could be the reason? Eating less than before? More exercise?
Nope, I don't.
Doctor was more concerned about the weight loss than my new weight.
You changed this one??
So what's with the colored titles?
Did you think 23.5 was too high?? That's perfect!

suckers, this is my view right now
BougainVillea in Barbados
What resort are you at?
I had a dream I was in school. I wasn't confident I knew which locker was mine, but I was able to open it. I grabbed a bunch of stuff to take to lunch. My brain started fast forwarding through something.
All in all, I miss high school.
Would you say Computer Science is difficult?
Would you say Computer Science is difficult?
If you do work? No. If you wait till the day before an exam/assignment, then why sir, yes.
I only had a few CS classes but yeah it's not a cake walk.
Also Legend, are you planning on finishing school?
It's something I'd really like to do, but I'm not sure if it really helps my career at all. I can get most of the game development knowledge myself and save thousands of dollars while I'm at it. Plus game companies care way more about experience and skill verse having a related degree. Right now my plan is to finish VizionEck and go from there.
That's why I was wondering.
Would you say Computer Science is difficult?
Well for me it just depends so much on how successful VizionEck is. If the game bombs every way possible, then I'm definitly going back to school. If it does ok, then I'll probably do part time school while I work on my next game. If it does great, I'm probably not going back to school till after my second game. If it does amazing, I'm probably doing full school for three years and game dev just on the side.
Honestly I've heard so many different opinions on the difficulty of CS just from reading today.
I've heard pretty much everything from "It's one of the easiest majors you can have" to the easily one of the hardest.
Well everyone is different.
Judging off how most of my friends handled it, it's hard but nothing horrible. I personally found it really easy but mostly because I started programing at the age of 5.
Yeah, I know. :)
Cool, that you started at 5. I was afraid of programming until I was about 16 or so.
My aunt is a programmer and I always visited her for take your child to work day haha. Only thing I made was a text input you'd type your name in, and then it'd say hello to you. Just copied a guide and didn't understand any of it ;)

Still waiting on 8 books to get here.
6 school books, a C++ book and C#.
Wait the school books aren't for programming?
Why??
My life is great right now! :) :)
Why??
Congrats!
Mine too, just turned 21!!!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Party was fun. Made a bunch of cocktails and stuff. Martinis are ok, wild turkey drinks are bad, and white russians are great. Cosmos are pretty good too lol.
Was also great since I got to see some friends I haven't seen in a while.
Why do you ask? :O

I expect to see a thread tomorrow about what presents everyone got.
Be there!
I see 3?
First two are good, avoid the third.
They look the same to me lol? Will you use it as a gaming laptop?
How good is good, and which is better?
They look the same to me lol? Will you use it as a gaming laptop?
I think I'm gonna jump on the 2nd one but I'll give it a few hours in case someone points out something wrong
The first two look the same. Both are decent laptops, and from the sounds of it, are about what you are looking for.
Yep it's probably the best choice!
Yeah I think they have the exact same specs but I prefer the look of the second one, its keyboard and mousepad so I'll go with that. Thank for the help, guys!
Should I go 4 years or should I stay one more year to be able to triple major?
go for the triple
Really? :D
I really want to, but I'm not sure if I should. :P
Should I go 4 years or should I stay one more year to be able to triple major?
I'm currently majoring in Computer Science and Math, and I should be able to complete both in 4 years with relative ease.
The major I'm thinking about also doing is the Physics major, I'll already be taking a few of the Physics classes for my Comp Sci/Math stuff, but no where near enough to be complete a major. But if I decided to stay another year, I should be able to fit in a couple Math/CPS classes that otherwise I wouldn't be able to do, along with completing a Physics major.
@Legend
What do you think?
I don't think it would help me with anything career wise, but I am interested in doing it.
Bad idea?

After a four years of school, you might be getting tired.
How soon do you need to decide?
perhaps do a double major with a MBA?
well with the course load you were talking about it would be good prep for being a physics programmer should check out some physics engines and programming and look into further to see if you would really enjoy it
Thank you everyone for your input! Very much appreciated. :D I'll get back to you all in a few years about it. :P
I'm thinking about taking an AP test.
But you're in college?
yay i got a loyalty offer from my cable company lol free internet upgrade + HD cable box :D
So many new avatars!
Well it's not Christmas anymore. You need to mix it up, clearly.
I'm keeping as is for a while longer. The hat looks sweet.
I haven't posted much lately because my lady friend was visiting the past two weeks. Just dropped her off in Milwaukee a few hours ago. Going to share some random thoughts.
1.) Milwaukee is very different in terms of diversity of what I'm used to. Here, 97.5% of people are white, 2.4% are Hispanic, and 0.1% are African Americans. There, there were some streets where I didn't see any white people and only saw lots of African Americans.
2.) Technology is incredible. Just incredible to be able to talk to someone who lives hours away, or lives some 3000 miles away from me.
3.) I'm like 99% confident that I'm going to triple major. I love physics and pretty much the only way to be able to take another physics class would be to be there another year. And if I'm going to be there another year, might as well fill up the schedule.
(Though I'm thinking that it'll make me look like a jerk or something. :( )
Don't do it! You'll end up like @manbearspurge with 3 degrees and working at Walmart!

Anyone watching the Nintendo Direct?
Using Samsung VR to visit Iceland
Using Oculus Rift to watch the stars.
#TheFuture
No. We have a Nintendo thread lying around somewhere, go resurrect it and let us know what's happening XD.
I put together a new habitat for my spider, much better then what he had been living in. He instantly loved it and started laying some web to soften up the place. and exploring the few twigs and leaves i put in there.
What kind of spider do you have?
its either a Hobo spider or a Giant house spider. (Eratigena atrica or Eratigena agrestis) So relatively harmless or medically significant lol ive been trying to read up on them to ID it properly, but i think to do so ill have to handle it and use a magnifying glass, and i dont wanna get that close to it lol was scared no nuggets just trying to get it from its old home to the new one
What kind of spider do you have?
Ive decided to name him Webley Crusher
Did you see the other pic he shared?Spoiler for Image:
Yup lol i was looking up bad spider jokes and i saw webley, and star trek came on in another room and it just sorta came together
Cleaning out my drawer where I store all my school stuff. :D
Found some interesting things in there.
Where is everyone?
The hell happened to my karma?
I can relate. Lol
Nothing like waking up at 4 with a nosebleed. :P
webley got out last night :( no idea where he is.. rather sad now
yea lol and im actually more sad that hes gone, then i am freaked that i have a giant dog spider walking around my house lol
Shucks. :(
yea lol and im actually more sad that hes gone, then i am freaked that i have a giant dog spider walking around my house lol
he must have contort himself through one of the air holes.. arg :(
haha that would be funny. oh well
Oh well maybe one day in the future you'll find him living in your attic with a huge big family :)
Maybe they'll send some post cards.
I don't know what it is exactly, but I'm really nervous for school.
Math will be interesting and horrifying!
History will be interesting and horrifying!
CPS will be interesting and horrifying!
Being in class, etc.

more like nebula, and if a bright spot is a star that is super close in comparison, or a large clump so it looks like 1 lol or idno i dont know enough, plus the pic i posted lol
Oh dear :P
The names of all the stars?
Assuming someone named them all, and you learned 1 star every second, you could go full out and learn every star in about 3-4 years.

My new laptop is here! I'm loving it! The keyboard is much better, it has a numpad which is a big improvement. Also, I can type faster on this, probably because its a better key design. Had no problems so far and its been running fast. It was trying to make me spell things theAmericanwrong way though, which I'm not happy about.
:(
American way?
What are the specs?
I usually play my handhelds when I'm at home, and my consoles when I'm on the road.

No, I suppose I'm fine for now.
Why on earth would you do that?
Yeah its pretty good!
I was just asking in case I forgot something tbh :)ikr, I never drive when I'm on the road
Congrats!
Exactly!
yea that was last years, they have one for the year before that aswell, i just love these
what?
Omg usa lost!!!! :(
Tomorrow is the first day for my first CPS class. Excited and nervous.
I looked over the book though and I think the class is going to be 'fairly' easy. Which makes me a little bit more excited.
Who won?

Because I can't talk to strangers.

Netflix goes down?
anxiety?
Haven't been able to sleep any of the nights before school. :P
No idea why.
anxiety?
Do you study until late at night?
and when did you stop studying?
Goes to bed (24:00) -> makes post (1:30) -> falls asleep (2:00)->wakes up (6:00)
and when did you stop studying?
How did you sleep the night before?
Didn't study at all yesterday.
How did you sleep the night before?
Do you watch TV/play games in your bed?
Well if it's a chronic problem you might want to look into changing your habits. Personally I try not to study late and I try not to lie in my bed all the time when watching tv/playing games. I also eat a banana like 2 hours before sleep, it works!
I slept well?
Yes.

Hahaha lots of times I've thought a song was perfect, only to yrow out of it years later.
Never growing out of taylor swift though. She's about my age and her music seems to be growing as I do.
why is nobody posting? Maybe they are and I just don't see their posts
yep but it's like a blast from the past

Goes to bed (24:00) -> makes post (1:30) -> falls asleep (2:00)->wakes up (6:00)
Makes you more sleepy :o. Bananas have tryptophan actually.
What does the banana do?
This is everyday of my life :(
That's pretty bad! I make sure that I always get at least 7 and a half hours sleep. I think it takes me longer to get to sleep than most people, but I don't have much problem sleeping. I'm an insanely deep sleeper too

I rejoice if i get more than 5 hours sleep. Unfortunately i tend to only get about 4. My own fault though...
At my worst i was getting 2 - 3 hours of sleep....back then i had some serious problems.
Don't expect it to work like a sleeping pill though lol. Still, every little thing helps!
Well dang I'm definitely going to try that.
When I had tonsillitis I got about that much sleep for a few days, one day I didn't sleep at all. That was horrible, I guess it does take a big problem to sleep that little.
Don't expect it to work like a sleeping pill though lol. Still, every little thing helps!
If you're having major sleep problems you could possibly make the room where your bed is completely dedicated to sleep (and not TV watching/studying/gaming etc.). Having a place that you only connect with sleep can help. Milk and bananas could help.
Also, making yourself tired over the day can be a big help (both physically and mentally) but try not to workout or study too late because that can fire you up instead of cooling you down.
Interesting that Pi has been quoted exactly as many times as he has quote someone and that I have been quoted a lot more than I have quoted someone lol
That is good to hear! (even though I probably wouldn't be able to cope with only 5 hours of sleep chronically o.O )
OT: Is wikipedia down for anyone else?
What's your analysis on that doctor?
That you probably try to keep that ratio exactly 1:1...actively :O
What's your analysis on that doctor?
Did you know that, following the first un-bracketed link on the main text of each wiki page, 95% of wiki pages eventually take you to philosophy. I found that out during a maths talk, interesting stuff.

/o: They decided to hire someone else for the position... sucks, but I've only been full time since october so its great that I even was able to be nominated for the position since that was the only way to get interviewed for it.
travel would have been state to state visiting different markets

Lol, wtf is that?
Looks really weird.
Complete AIS occurs in those who are genetically male but have not produced the male genitalia while in the womb. In these cases, the external genitalia appears to be female while there are no female internal organs and, instead, testes which generally are not descended. Quite often in Complete AIS cases, the ball may be visible but is generally short and without a cervix.
Basically, they are genetically male but look a lot like women. They also develop breasts eventually but have no menstrual cycle.

I fell asleep at 3 or later even. And I woke up at 6.
Yay! A maximum of 3 hours of sleep. Today's gonna hurt, maybe.
I wouldn't
NA you'll be okay.
I wouldn't
But I had to stand in a surgery today. take an exam in medical genetics, participate in a team based competition about infections in children and then listen to a lecture. I wouldn't have been able to function with 3 hours. I got barely 6.

Never get less than 6 is my motto. I feel awful if I get less. I can get by with 6-7. 7-8 is best though.
Wow, sounds like a busy day. Days get so much easier the more sleep you have. Never get less than 7! ;)
Never get less than 6 is my motto. I feel awful if I get less. I can get by with 6-7. 7-8 is best though.
One time in college I decided to switch to just one thirty minute nap each night. The first day sucked, but the second and third were pretty fine. Got a lot of great work done. Then by like the 5th day I started hallucinating and stopped.

I feel awful when I sleep too long. I can go of less sleep it's just harder to get out of bed. But once I'm up it feels the same if I had gotten 8.

Sometimes I kinda wonder if the math teachers completely understand what they're teaching.
It seems like it happens often that a teacher won't explain why something is, they just know how something is.
Which makes it difficult to understand as sometimes the why makes things so easy.
That's not good. My maths teachers are amazing, wish it was that way for everyone.
I think my math teachers are amazing, but they aren't perfect. :)

Good gravy, I have 66 days logged in. :o
I mean they are teaching how it is. Not why it is.
For example, they might teach what the quadratic equation is, but they don't show you how they know that.
It's just "Here it is, use it."
It's very easy to see why it is that way, but I haven't had a teacher teach me that.
Or why is a circle 2pi radians. Why not just Pi?
Super easy concept too, but I haven't seen anyone teach it.

In the past two days, our server errors have exploded. For months we haven't had a single one, and then two days ago we had 26 and yesterday we had 522. Wonder what's causing that.
Wait, what are you talking about?
Something is causing a bunch of server errors.
What do the notes say?
New money system?
Just got a couple of emails about messages which I got a a couple of days ago and a few hours ago :-\
No that's a good thing!
I fixed the server, and then those were just in the outbox but couldn't be sent.
Thought as much, just thought I'd let you know :)
Wait, why did I lose like 100 credits in my bank?
It's ok though, cause everyone lost an equal percentage :)
Why did that happen? :P
When I fixed the server it had all its tasks from the past few days to do, such as sending email and calculating bank interest. However when doing interest it merged the days or something so everyone's banks had like 5,000% interest applied to them. I just manually cut them down to what looked like the correct values.
All my effort...forever forgotten
Out of my own pocket I paid you guys for the mistake.

It just seems that it used to be faster when it first came out and I was downloading games from psn... now it seems to take twice as long
It's really quite disturbing and unsavory of companies to tout speeds as they do... who cares how many bits i'm getting when everything I download is in terms of bytes...?
1024 MB = 1GB
8Mb = 1MB
1GB = 8000Mb
50Mb = 0.00625GB
So normally you might think I'm getting 50Mb/s d/l speed so a 1GB should take ~1000/50 seconds... but nooooo it'll take 8x longer than you would expect...
why is this done this is rediculous and should not be allowed as a standard of measurement for internet speeds as nothing else uses this measurement...
20Mb = 2.5MB
50Mb = 6.25MB
100Mb = 12.5MB
has it always been this way? I mean file sizes have always been in bytes as far as I remember... I remember 56/28 k d/l speeds but were they bits or bytes then?
No idea why we use bits for internet speeds tbh

"As the dancing plague worsened, concerned nobles sought the advice of local physicians, who ruled out astrological and supernatural causes, instead announcing that the plague was a "natural disease" caused by "hot blood." However, instead of prescribing bleeding, authorities encouraged more dancing, in part by opening two guildhalls and a grain market, and even constructing a wooden stage. The authorities did this because they believed that the dancers would recover only if they danced continuously night and day. To increase the effectiveness of the cure, authorities even paid for musicians to keep the afflicted moving.[2] Some of the dancers were taken to a shrine, where they sought a cure for their affliction"

A passenger discovered the item hidden partially under a seat of the MV Burrard Beaver boat during the evening commute between Vancouver and North Vancouver, said Transit Police spokeswoman Anne Drennan.
The RCMP explosives unit dispatched a bomb-sniffing dog and robot to investigate the "package" which had wires sticking out of it.
"What was found was a very old Walkman-style device. You couldn't tell what it was until the robot got right up to it and it could be viewed from the robot video," Drennan told The Huffington Post B.C.
"We apologize for any inconvenience to passengers but I think most would agree that you have to take all precautions when you don't know what you're dealing with."

Jason on MKX announced~
Just donated £20 to comic relief! Feeling pretty good! Are there any fund raising shows like this in America?
What is comic relief?
A charity which does a fundraising TV show annually at this time every year. A lot of supermarkets, shops, schools, famous people etc. do loads of work to fund raise around this time of the year as well. It alternates, one year people do funny things for comic relief then the next year they do sports events and its called sport relief. All the money goes to helping people in the UK (young carers, old people with dementia, people with disabilities) but most go to Africa to support education, improve health care, fight malaria etc.
Last year they raised £71.8million and are on track to beat that this year
We used to have a lot of telethons kinda like that, but sadly I can't think of any still popular today.
weve got a couple local ones that do it every year, i know theres a christmas one, a variety one that covers a range of childrens charities. The canucks, our hockey team, used to do one for a game during the season, They arent really as popular as they've been in the past though.
That's a shame. We have 2 every year. Children in need and comic relief. They made a combined total of £104 million last year ( $153 million). Such a huge amount of money, helps so much!!

The funny thing is, is that we have different ideas about what a football is.
in baseball, if your not standing on a base, and are tagged by the ball, your out. while not seeing how that play started, most of the time that is from a player attempting to steal a base. the pitcher or catcher will noticed and throw the ball to the baseman that is covering the base the runner is attempting to steal. Now because it is a steal, the runner isnt forced to the bag, so the only way he can be out, is if he is tagged. On his way to 3rd, he woul have noticed the 3rd baseman has the ball, and instead of diving in for the base right away he turns in hopes to make it back to where he started, 2nd base. This creates what we see, where the runner needs to get to either 2nd or 3rd in order to be safe. So they chase him down, until he gets to close to a base, then they throw it to the other guy, so he has to turn around or dive, and the cycle repeats lol The vast majority of the time the runner will get tagged, but if he manages to pull it off, like in this gif, It ends up looking pretty cool, or pretty hilarious lol
I don't quite understand what is happening
Nah, I know you know about the real thing but you just choose to call a handegg football

An event in Dantzig's life became the origin of a famous story in 1939 while he was a graduate student at UC Berkeley. Near the beginning of a class for which Dantzig was late, professor Jerzy Neyman wrote two examples of famously unsolved statistics problems on the blackboard. When Dantzig arrived, he assumed that the two problems were a homework assignment and wrote them down. According to Dantzig, the problems "seemed to be a little harder than usual", but a few days later he handed in completed solutions for the two problems, still believing that they were an assignment that was overdue.[4][7]
Six weeks later, Dantzig received a visit from an excited professor Neyman, who was eager to tell him that the homework problems he had solved were two of the most famous unsolved problems in statistics.

Got unity 5 up and running on the new pc. Followed along with a guy on Youtube and made a level with a house and a few trees. It seems pretty simple to use, It didn't take that long and had a some what decent final looking product. I'd say early PS3 looking stuff. I guess the real challenge starts with writing code... I'm going to try to work on something at least an hour a day for now.
Nice!
Do you ever have problems with unity hanging up when accessing the asset store? Or loading a broken unity?

Do guys ever just read a comment online and think "wow that's messed up" and then you notice the vast majority of people agree with it?
It can be so disheartening at times.
Yeah. :(
What comment?
If adblock won't work on a website, I just won't use that website. Simple as that.
It's irksum how this comment practically mocks the situation, at least from my perspective.
When people try to justify the use of Adblock to me, they always say "but the ads suck, I don't want viruses, they use my bandwidth, etc." My response is to just vote with your "wallet" and don't visit the website. This is usually a preposterous idea to them and unthinkable, yet now in this situation boycotting a website for bad ads is the smart and good thing to do.
Not as bad of a comment as I had in mind. Oh wells.
I feel like I read that comment.... probably on the Chertz.
Either A.) they have no idea how big of an impact it has, or B.) they are trying to make themselves feel better or C.) both.
A.) Self explanatory. People are generally clueless, outside of things that concern them. Even if they are well educated.
B.) Imagine an alcoholic who keeps insisting that the alcohol is just to help them cope with their situation.
C.) Self explanatory, see A.) and B.)

Oh I just heard an interesting political idea. Make votes in congress anonymous, in the same way public votes are anonymous. Then buying off politicians wouldn't really be financially viable since there's no way to know if the bribe worked or not.
I think the idea has some merit, but imo it fixes a smaller problem at the expense of a larger one. Corruption is something that certainly exists in Washington, but I think ignorance in DC is the bigger cause of issues. With anonymous votes we'd lose the ability to hold them accountable.
Done.
I feel like our political system is the one of the only ones that still works well
I think the opposite. Our system has worked great, but as of late other systems have grown and rivaled it.
Also being the best system doesn't mean it's without flaws.
I don't get how being limited to a choice of two is great in any regard.
Political parties?
We're not "limited" to 2. :P
There are just always 2 most dominant.
Well other parties barely exist. At least here there's quite a few who have a good chance of some power, although its been mostly dominated by 2 as well.
I don't understand how the voting for congress and president work separately. And it can't be good that the system works so most ideas put forward by the president can be blocked
Spoiler for Image:
Cray cray nature
I don't understand how the voting for congress and president work separately. And it can't be good that the system works so most ideas put forward by the president can be blocked
Thats so weird. :o
What do you mean voting for congress and president separately? How do you guys do it?
Almost always either Labour or the Conservatives win 326 seats in the election, so the prime minister is the party leader at that time. Whatever ideas and policies they and their cabinet ministers come up with is then usually passed because they have the majority, so nothing can be blocked.
This can be good or bad though. Having opposition might mean that half the population doesn't want something to happen and if that much of the population doesn't want something to happen, it might not be a good thing.
So having the president on the opposite side of the majority of congress can be a good thing. If they both agree, it's clearly something that needs to happen. If congress disagrees overall, they can make things happen themselves and over ride the president. President has a huge amount of power, but congress can still veto him/her. President isn't there to make unanimous decisions, but he does have the power to sway or give suggestions and bills to congress.

I hit a bird while driving yesterday. You think bugs leave a mess on your windshield, wait till you hit a bird. I'm just glad it didn't break my windshield.
It stormed so bad here in Texas last night.
Woke up to the entire road and my driveway under water (along with my poor mailbox lol).
Had no electricity since 8:30 PM last night - electricity came back up at 9:00AM this morning.
It is 9:46 AM right now ;o.
Nice, we've been getting hit too. But flooding has been minimal in the area I live

I saw a quick news story about how most of the top officials were being arrested.While this is true... an international corporation is not being thrown in jail :P seven top fifa officials have been arrested but fifa itself is very much still operational.
While this is true... an international corporation is not being thrown in jail :P seven top fifa officials have been arrested but fifa itself is very much still operational.Yes obviously ;)
Yes obviously ;)God knows, he has a way with words and must have convinced them its not his fault. The way I see it, he's either corrupt himself and is in on all this, meaning he is not fit for office, or he is incompetent and has not seen that the people he works with have been taking bribes, meaning he is not fit for office. There was only one other option but surely the voters should have seen that change was needed?
My comment was meaning why the hell did they reelect the same president while all this controversy is going on.
The voting was rigged, obviously. FIFA is a despicable corporation. Everyone knew corruption was involved when Qatar and Russia got the next world cups...Qatar?? How many people can actually point to Qatar on a map let alone know the country even exists?
Qatar?? How many people can actually point to Qatar on a map let alone know the country even exists?I think a lot of people know that they have a lot of money ;)
Qatar?? How many people can actually point to Qatar on a map let alone know the country even exists?Its reasonably well known but they couldn't have picked a worse place tbh. There's been so much hassle over it because its going to be too hot in the summer and inconvenient at any other time. If the voting wasn't rigged I don't see how Qatar would have won

How do you feel about it?The UI is garbage if you don't have Kinect. Too many steps to do anything. Sometimes forgets that I wanted a certain app closed because if I hit B "too many times" it will load an app I previously closed. Almost like the UI is trying to guess what I want to do and getting it wrong every time. The snap feature has its uses but it feels more like a burden for simple things. A lot of the menus for things like the Store are just a clutter of crud. Overall, too complicated for its own good when only using a controller. It's like Microsoft thought going "LOOK AT ALL OF THIS STUFF!" was better than going "Hey! What exactly are you wanting to do or see?". The PS4 UI is much more friendly. I'm still downloading the Master Chief Collection so I haven't been able to play anything yet. Tons of apps but most of them are useless for my tastes. I do like the dedicated Twitch app, though. I already know how the controller feels since I played it plenty of times at a friend's house. It's not bad but I prefer the Dualshock 4. I really only picked it up for Halo and some exclusives I'm interested in but by no means am I sold on the idea that this thing is worth taking over a PS4 if one had to choose.

I don't follow soccer/football that much, but after hearing about the arrests, I delved into the matter and was appalled by the terrible things FIFA did over the past decades. The situation with Qatar depresses me.

Q: What's the difference between an American and a European?Hahaha true.

A few people responded to that post. A few said that they had European family members who wanted to visit LA and New York and stuff, under the impression that it was a few hour drive apparently.This caused me to look at America and google maps and hot dang I forget how big it is. Over here we'd consider a 4 hour drive (roughly how long it takes from where I live to drive to London, almost the length of England) a very long drive. While that's just a short drive between two cities over there ;D

I'm getting tired of these shootings. I wish they just stop because this is getting crazy.Giving so many people access to guns can do that. Guns don't kill people, people do. But those people couldn't kill so many so easily if they didn't have easy access to guns.
Gafs been down for a fair bit today.We need an app to let us know when gaf and vgc are actually up.
Giving so many people access to guns can do that. Guns don't kill people, people do. But those people couldn't kill so many so easily if they didn't have easy access to guns.While I agree, taking guns away will be impossible.
SEPSY BACK on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/129916157)
holy shame I love it
If someone wants to cause harm in the world, it's practically impossible to stop them impersonally. Ban guns, they just get them illegally. Get rid of the gun black market, they just use home made bombs.I agree. The US is an entirely different beast when it comes to gun violence and taking away guns isn't going to solve anything (maybe, slow things down temporarily, but that's it). Your last point hits the nail on the head.
I've always believed that the better approach is to attempt to stop people from becoming violent in the first place. Happier and smarter citizens are a good thing.
My hypothesis is that guns have a parabola effect.I disagree. All you need to do is look at a country like the UK where guns are illegal. I can't remember there being a shooting here, while I can remember loads in America
More guns will have a similar effect as no guns.
Obviously gun related violence is impossible with no guns, but also I suspect that the more people that had guns would deter others from using their guns for most people.
There have been incidents where a civilian stopped someone with a gun, if such incidents were common place, gun usage would go down I suspect.
Though, there's always the opposite effect that's possible too.
I've heard an argument that taking away guns was the first thing Hitler did.
I disagree. All you need to do is look at a country like the UK where guns are illegal. I can't remember there being a shooting here, while I can remember loads in AmericaNot enough guns in America to prove that point.
I disagree. All you need to do is look at a country like the UK where guns are illegal. I can't remember there being a shooting here, while I can remember loads in Americabut i've heard of knife slashing being a problem there.

Well, thanks to him, Jim has more than enough content to make The Slaughtering Grounds: A Steam Meltdown Saga, Part II :P
I think my favorite was when he said jim wouldnt be able to make all his money if video games didnt exist, and because of that Jim is a leech .. that or playng the 10 second clip from a jimquisition from a few years ago where he make a joke about creating little monsters to go around destroying things, and tried to say it was the smoking gun that jims plan is to grow a legion of internet followers to harrass people lol

Probably just a scientist not wanting people to know what he was up to. Although I do love the theories that it's from aliens and contains ultimate truths about the universe.Lol, not so similar. :P
On a similar note, there was writing on an ancient rock that no one could decipher.
Ended up just being cracks lol.
Lol, not so similar. :PNah the rock was a pretty big thing that for hundreds of years was one of the top projects for linguists to figure out. At least that's how I'm remembering it.

What did you get up to?Went downtown during the day to a food market and had some lemonade and a belgian waffle with duck meat on it lol. Walked around a bit too and the weather was decent, which is rare. Then we went to a hamburger place for dinner, called "hamburger factory" (in Icelandic), and the burger was very good. Lastly, we hung out with some friends and had a few beers in the evening.

Nobody has any decent funds to steal... :'(That's why I said items cost too much. People tend to put their money way when it gets to a certain level. And tgat way before the cost of a steal.
That's why I said items cost too much. People tend to put their money way when it gets to a certain level. And tgat way before the cost of a steal.They put their money away because they know people can steal. If items cost less, people would just put their money in the bank sooner.
They put their money away because they know people can steal. If items cost less, people would just put their money in the bank sooner.No really, if a steal was say 10 , people wouldn't put money in their bank every day, it would give the option to steal smaller amounts more often.

For someone who doesn't follow soccer, what's wrong about it?Henderson is a mediocre player playing for a club that has been very mediocre lately. He really shouldn't be there lol. Messi is one of the top players in the world and deserves to be there on the cover.
It should be said that Henderson is only on the UK cover. I find it hilarious that he won the vote. Not sure what happened there.And therefore also the cover in Iceland lol (we get our games from the UK).
And therefore also the cover in Iceland lol (we get our games from the UK).Messi + another. Different regions had their own votes for who's on the cover with Messi.
Is Messi the only one on the cover elsewhere?
Good day for Man United fans with both Schweinsteiger and Darmian confirmed as new MU players!Van gal is a shaming coach, as long as he is in charge Man UTD wont return to former glory like in the days of Fergi.
Schneiderlin is rumored and Ramos has been rumored for a long time now. Hope they get them too.
Next season should be great with Depay also being a great recent addition to the team.
Van gal is a shaming coach, as long as he is in charge Man UTD wont return to former glory like in the days of Fergi.You may be eating crow in a few years time ;D
You may be eating crow in a few years time ;Dafter they spend a another few hunder million dollars too? even so, with Van Gal they wont be a top team with a consistent performance year after year.
after they spend a another few hunder million dollars too? even so, with Van Gal they wont be a top team with a consistent performance year after year.No English teams do well in the CL any more, it won't just be United. They need to spend that much money, the quality of their players is not good enough.
mark my words, next year Man UTD will be outclassed easily in the champions league. they might do good in the premiere league, but they wont in the CL.
Van gal is a shaming coach, as long as he is in charge Man UTD wont return to former glory like in the days of Fergi.Lol. Not true.
mark my words, next year Man UTD will be outclassed easily in the champions league. they might do good in the premiere league, but they wont in the CL.No shame, sherlock, lol. The goal now is to be contenders for the premier league title. Rebuilding takes time.
Lol. Not true.Definitely agree with this, Fergie left a team which had no chance of getting near the top, it was old and past its best. There's nothing wrong with spending money and spending money is what they need to do. Grab a top quality defender or two and another striker and they have a good shot at the title I think
Do you even know how out of date and mediocre Man Utd's players were when Van Gaal took over? They desperately need more players, especially defenders. Darmian is a great get and so is Schweinsteiger, a proven winner. Schneiderlin would be an amazing get, since he is still very young but really talented.
No shame, sherlock, lol. The goal now is to be contenders for the premier league title. Rebuilding takes time.
As Xevross said, no English team is really contenders for the CL title these days
What's wrong with spending money? When most of the team is either mediocre or bad you don't have time to build up a great team over the many years it would take if they got young, inexperienced players. MU is one of the biggest football clubs in the world (the biggest?) and so it has a reputation to uphold and money to spend.
Definitely agree with this, Fergie left a team which had no chance of getting near the top, it was old and past its best. There's nothing wrong with spending money and spending money is what they need to do. Grab a top quality defender or two and another striker and they have a good shot at the title I thinkYep, just the fact that they hadn't spent much money in a long time really justifies their spending now.

pretty upset with sony phones right now... finally used my z3 for underwater pictures... which saved to the cloud and came out pretty well, but then the phone overheated and the screen doesn't work anymore... also my wife had a problem with her z1s which was never underwater or any sort and Tmobile wants to charge us "non-refundable" $300 due to some agreement we never agreed too...Sounds like Tmobile sucks too

"And Apple said its gross margin - the difference between the amount it spends on making the products versus how much consumers pay - was 39.7%, up slightly on a year ago."Which is one of the main reasons I will never buy an Apple product
Says it all, really. People are buying their overpriced products like there's no tomorrow and Apple just keeps increasing their gross margin while nobody notices. The watches especially are ridiculously priced.
Do you have a cold/runny nose or something like that?No such issue.
Apple is a mixed bag for me. They make decent products, but price them way waayy too high.Same.
And I'm off on holiday, to join most of you in America!! (Florida)! I'll pop on from time to time on my phone, don't have too much fun without me ;D
No such issue.I'd really like to have a mac PC, but the price point is just so high I can't justify it when I can build a much better rig for the price...
Did have a bloody nose the day before, unrelated incident.
Same.
I like their products, the OS is nicer in some respects than Android, but mostly just overpriced.

Lol! I do really like it here in America and I would definitely enjoy living here but I'm seriously put off by the shaming health care system and gun laws.Have you ever shot a gun?
The system does suck, but there isn't any where else on this earth that I would want to be worked on.True, the system provides good service if you've got the money. The problem with the Icelandic health care system is the reverse imo, it doesn't cost much for people but the wait for a specialist is often way too long, the only big hospital we have is way too small and always overflowing with patients, and health professionals are underpaid and therefore always somewhat unhappy.
Lived here nearly all my life and never had a run in with a gun. Most of the gun violence come from low income areas, the poor killing the poor.

Once you get billed you can either pay it monthly, if you can't afford that then you can give them 10 bucks a month which will keep you credit clean and if you really wanted to you could file bankruptcy and wipe out the rest of you debt while your at it. Our system might be iced, but there's ways around everything.

Here?He is in Alaska! Didn't you meet?
Health care works well, if you have money/insurance!
Also guns aren't really an issue. I have only seen a gun in cases.
And I'm off on holiday, to join most of you in America!! (Florida)! I'll pop on from time to time on my phone, don't have too much fun without me ;DI missed this and two other posts!

walter white in breaking badoh I dunno, Selling drugs is more fun?
I missed this and two other posts!I could ask my dad but I don't think he'll want to! I do want to visit a lot of America when I'm older though, so you might see me one day ;)
:o
Why can't you come to WI?

But that's the thing, They can not deny you service.

Our system might be iced, but there's ways around everything.I'd rather just not have to think about money at all when I have a health problem. Although as pez said, the waiting times here are also pretty terrible.

@Xevur mom
By the way, what field are you going into?
ur momOh snap.
@XevI'm going to do Physics at University, hopefully Oxford. That I know for sure. I'm not certain what career I want to do yet, although I've always wanted to research future technologies or emerging technologies.

A word of advice to you all.I don't. Can't remember the last time I got the flu.
Never catch the flu, its not nice.
I don't. Can't remember the last time I got the flu.I don't remember anyone I know having it, its quite rare. I'm almost over it now anyway.
My Android does weird things at times.Yeah that sounds familiar. What phone do you have?
The keyboard crashes a lot, and Chrome has this weird thing. I literally visited a site once and it somehow knocked out my most visited site.
Yeah that sounds familiar. What phone do you have?Think it is a moto G. Otherwise it's a moto E, but think its G.
Think it is a moto G. Otherwise it's a moto E, but think its G.Ah ok. I have a Sony Xperia M2 and that happens to me a lot. Quite annoying
It was a fairly cheap phone.

Has VizionEck been a little odd for anyone else today?Seems to be fine with me now.
Wasn't responsive earlier, and just now it wouldn't load for a bit for me.
Also, just spent 5 minutes unresponsive, with a loading circle in the tab name thingy on top for chrome.
Or is it just me?
Seems to be fine with me now.I'm not sure if it's irregular, or if it's good now.
I'm not sure if it's irregular, or if it's good now.It hasn't happened to me today, but I ran into that problem a few days ago.
But, it'd be fine for a while, then I'd go to the main page and it wouldn't load.

So why is GAF so against GamerGate...?It's because the crazies/extreme members of GamerGate are completely delusional.
It's because the crazies/extreme members of GamerGate are completely delusional.I agree that it has been a total shitshow, from both sides. The main problem I have with anti-GamerGate people, though, is that they keep bringing misogyny into the conversation. That is their go-to argument, almost every time. Yes, Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, and Anita Sarkeesian have received threats. However, it hasn't been proven that all threats have been linked to GamerGate. People just assume the threats to be done by GamerGate supporters. Unless an FBI investigate confirms those threats to be linked to people who support GamerGate, we can't say one way or another.
Plus there are so many things messed up about "GamerGate" itself. Origins are sketchy/weird, many people disagree on what they're even fighting for, and the general media has presented it in a horrible light. Like look at this (http://www.gameskinny.com/xvxch/anti-anita-sarkeesian-posters-seen-plastered-at-e3-gamergate-supporters-to-blame). Doesn't matter who put the posters up, it still makes the GamerGate movement look like shame.
The whole thing is just a shame show. IMO it's best to just stay out of that mess. I'll debate ethics and sexism in the industry and I'll actively do what I can to help the industry move forward, but I won't hitch my wagon to a horse I can't control.
Can someone explain gamergate?A reporter was naughty with people... GamerGate people want a higher standard of journalism instead of shrills... anti-GG are mostly SJW's who I think just tagged along for the ride to boost their own infamy ...
I'm home from RomeThat rhymed! ;D
A reporter was naughty with people... GamerGate people want a higher standard of journalism instead of shrills... anti-GG are mostly SJW's who I think just tagged along for the ride to boost their own infamy ...The Zoe Quinn scandal was the tipping point that caused GamerGate to take off, not the instigator. Gamers were calling journalists out on corruption before the scandal happened. The reason why Zoe Quinn got so much attention over Jeff Gerstmann's firing from GameSpot or the Doritos/Mountain Dew product placement in Geoff Keighley's interview was because of the misogyny narrative.
very very short of it
Can someone explain gamergate?Well sure! Both 7H3 and Aura gave you pro gamergate answers, so I'll balance it out by posting a washington post article.
@Legend Have you watched the #SPJAirplay #GamerGate debate, by any chance?Nope.
Nope.You should. It's done quite well and I think it represents both sides fairly.
You should. It's done quite well and I think it represents both sides fairly.If you have a link sure, but I don't really care about the "sides" in a gamergate vs anti-gamergate fashion. Gamergate isn't an organization, it's a bunch of people all using the same twitter hashtag. It has no leader, no official policies, no official stance, etc. Everyone has their own interpretation of what gamergate stands for.

Anita is a shrill and a plague on the community... The validity of the threats on her is highly questionable... she uses various hot topics to further her own career rather than social issues themselves... those like anita utilize and attack #gamergate for their own purposes and demonize proponents of ethics as misogynists and likewise... the SJW's like Anita are more discriminatory and generalizing towards their opposition than their opposition really is at all... it's all craziness to me...Remember the threat at Utah University? The FBI investigated it and deemed it not be a legitimate threat, but Anita decided to cancel her talk anyways. Also, when you report threats to the police, one of the first things they tell you is to not publicize them. What did Anita do? She publicized the threat.
there are issues to be addressed, and naturally are being done so, but the little benefits shrills are adding to the conversation are out weighed by them pursuing their own goals of infamy rather than actually helping anything
I do not participate in GG just have been reading news and sometimes tweets about it over the course of these things coming out....
Started watching the 15 minute one.
Sargon's summarization of the debate if you're not going to watch the whole thing (in which I won't blame you):
Started watching the 15 minute one.Though what has Derek Smart not been honest about? If he has been dishonest about his products, for instance, then that's irrelevant towards his opinions about GamerGate as they aren't related to each other. It's like me saying a KKK neo-Nazi's calculation of 2+2=4 is wrong because he's a racist terrorist.
Haha Derek Smart. Stopped watching there. I have no clue of his involvement with GamerGate, but as an indie dev he's not really the best at being honest and truthful.
From the four minutes I watched, the video presented things as I already understand them. I've been following GamerGate since the start. There are lots of good and smart people fighting for better ethics in the industry.
I'll finish up the video later.

No that's an absurd. No need to appeal to extremes.so is he the #GG equivalent of Anita S.?
Derek Smart is more or less a pathological liar who over promises and under delivers. He bans people on steam who find his games buggy and organizes campaigns against games he's competing with, trying to get them shut down. He's not a voice of reason and not a reliable source for information.
so is he the #GG equivalent of Anita S.?Haha I disagree about Anita S. but that made me laugh.
No that's an absurd. No need to appeal to extremes.I will admit that the example I provided was too extreme, but I can easily come up with another example that is not extreme.

I will admit that the example I provided was too extreme, but I can easily come up with another example that is not extreme.I only paused the video since I laughed out loud when it presented him in such a positive light as an indie.
To play devil's advocate, the problem with your argument against Derek Smart is that it's based on ad hominem (not to be confused with insulting people). While the stuff you said about him is true, you're attacking the person's character rather than his points. He could be right in spite of his shady character, who knows? However, stopping the video when it's his turn to talk doesn't help.
But dang... Derek Smart is pretty much the Randy Pitchford of the indie industry :o
I only paused the video since I laughed out loud when it presented him in such a positive light as an indie.Ah, I see. I never heard of Derek until I ran into the debate, so I didn't have any pre-existing impressions on him. After you described what a s****y person he is, I do have suspicions that he's doing this for PR. After thinking about it more, Derek is a hypocrite because he's doing the same things some anti-GG people are criticized for doing: censorship and libel. I think I'm going to actually retract my ad hominem claims.
Went back and finished watching after I posted that first impression ;)
Someone get ryng tolu signed up here. Cus he ain't gonna last much longer over on chertz!Why, what's going on?
Why, what's going on?He's banned for a month and is one more moderation away from a perma. I don't think he really deserves it because he's not a combative person. There are other users (whom I'm not going to name) on that forum that are far more deserving of a perma.
Someone get ryng tolu signed up here. Cus he ain't gonna last much longer over on chertz!Yeah that would be great, I love that guy :)
Yeah that would be great, I love that guy :)Have to agree. While he is over dramatic at times and gets frustrated he's a sound person.
The post linked for his ban is just stupid, how's that worth a ban? I would say something similar there!
Have to agree. While he is over dramatic at times and gets frustrated he's a sound person.One of those people thinks that stating his opinions is a right, not a privilege. There's a distinction between having an opinion based on facts vs. an opinion based on beliefs.
When you see those 2 or 3 people who've been sitting on everything Sony recently it makes you wonder about the moderation process. Gotten to the point where I find it funny and not sad. The agenda is so obvious.

I do loot crate, because of the shirts, but the last two months no shirt and the last box was shame. So I'm thinking about switching.But there are shirts in nerd blocks too ;)
Seems pretty cool but that isn't my kind of thing. I'd rather buy my own stuff, which I know I'll like and use :DI like the surprise, but I mostly bought it because they teased a Star Wars VII item + I get a bonus package for free. I wonder how much I'll need to pay to get it through customs
Game pages with user reviews.Yeah that's a cool idea. I don't think there's anything out there that does that yet.
-User would post reviews.
-Based off the reviews, the site would find people who liked the game about as much and suggest other games based on what those people liked.
Ex.) Legend gave Skyrim a 7/10. -> Bananaman gave Skyrim a 7/10. Bananaman liked the Witcher 3, and suggest The Witcher 3 to Legend.
-We could go even further, once it gets big enough and offer "expected scores."
Ex.) Legend gave Skyrim a 7/10. Banaman did the same, and gave The Witcher 3 10/10. Pezus did the same and gave The Witcher 9/10. Expected score ranged 8.5 - 10. (Maybe even offer buy links?)
-Multiple games comparison.
Ex.) Legend gave {Skryim - 7, The Witcher 3- 8.5, etc}, based on these scores and Banana's same reviews, we expect Legend to score game A, 8/10.
(Maybe even give users numbers based on their taste and match them up with other users of similar taste numbers, kinda the same, but a little different than what I was suggesting)
Yeah that's a cool idea. I don't think there's anything out there that does that yet.I'll look into it when I have time. :)
Do you want to try coding it?
Woops. I accidentally locked this thread a few hours ago. ::PSad part is. Nobody noticed.

not sure I like the prediction idea on scores unless it was a soft meta prediction... because then I would give a rating to throw off the prediction of my own review out of spite :PIt'd be statistically based. Doesn't have to be right at all. And it's be a gigantic range just because of how few people are here.
and my tastes vary depending on the game
The only problem with that is that I don't think opinions are that predictableMachine learning is pretty powerful. As long as Pi had enough data per game, and we had enough users using it, he'd probably be able to get spookily good results.
School yesterday from 9 AM to 3 PM. Straight to work on a 16 hour shift, managed to sleep 1+3 hours total. Straight back to school around 9 AM again where I had to do a presentation.

Silly question, I assume that's a yes lol
No! it's magic! ::)Then what's the point, lol??
Yeah, it comes with it's own wall charger, just like the one the came with the phone. You just plug that into the wall then set it on the pad.
Then what's the point, lol??because you dont need to fight with the usb port anymore.

Now how many of those where legally bought guns and how many where gang violence?Does it really matter? There is a clear problem in the USA that doesn't exist elsewhere in the Western world.
(http://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Screen-Shot-2014-03-31-at-Monday-March-31-3.17-AM.png)All this tells us is that USA is somewhere in the middle of 2nd-3rd world countries when it comes to gun murders while the rest of the Western world has much less of them.
(http://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Homicide-rates-across-all-countries.jpeg)
well chicago with extreme gun laws have one of the top spots on gun violence... also suicide accounts for nearly 40% of gun related deaths in the US1) Chicago: Well the guns are out there everywhere. Not sure how the laws are there but given the laws elsewhere in the US they could just take guns from there.
Also the UK has 8* the violent crime rate as the US per capita
Personally I am very happy that I don't have to worry about getting shot on the street, at the movies, at school, at work.The reality of this information, is that America is massive. Many parts are amazing, and some parts are beyond awful.
Watching Bleach and my hulu data gets corrupted.it was probably the hallows!
it was probably the hallows!Spent like 35 min, and only managed to watch about 10 min. I've never had anything like it. :P
The reality of this information, is that America is massive. Many parts are amazing, and some parts are beyond awful.Alright. So some states in the US have even more massive problems with guns (although I've seen reports from all kinds of states) while others are closer to the Western "norm". That doesn't mean we can eliminate those states, they are still a part of the US and something that the government has to worry about.
The equivalency would be saying Europe has a problem because random other country is a bit worse than other areas. I'm not going to Iceland because this random other country has issues.
Overall on average, the US is much worse than Europe in some of these issues, but the reality is that America is no where near as bad as things are often proclaimed.
The vast majority of Americans don't go through life worrying about getting shot.
Lot of low income areas, and some areas like that, that have a disproportionate amount of crime, but the vast majority of people do not live in those areas.
There are likely areas in the US that are safer than the vast majority of Europe, just like there are likely areas that are only slightly safer than some parts of Africa.
The US is gigantic. My moderately small sized state is still much bigger than Iceland, close to double. There's a ton of variance with people, where they come from, their attitudes, etc.

The place I live in Colorado is well in line with most European countries. Meanwhile Denver county has averaged 5 gun homicides per 100,000 over the past 11 years. It's not the access to guns, but the poverty and gang type violence. There are countless neighborhoods where gun shots are heard throughout the day. I've had friends who grew up in those places and have seen people murdered on multiple occasions.

It's horrible and most definitely something the government has to take care of, but it has very little to do with gun laws.
Persistent cannabis users show neuropsychological decline from childhood to midlife (http://www.pnas.org/content/109/40/E2657.abstract)You're the doctor here so does this study show the drug directly causes this, or is the drug just making people less likely to push and exercise their brains?
For some reason Icelandic media decided to report on this now, 3 years after it was published. Still is interesting
My town hasnt see gun violence in 8 years(heck my state and general outside of 1 little area) has not a lot of gun violence.My town has hardly any day to day violence, but sadly this area has had a lot of tragedies. The Columbine school shooting happened here, same with the Aurora theater shooting, and a less publicised school shooting two years ago.
Mostly wreckless driving.
Oh and heroine lots of heroine. 8)

We have marijuana, lots and lots and lots of marijuana.
You're the doctor here so does this study show the drug directly causes this, or is the drug just making people less likely to push and exercise their brains?"Neuropsychological testing was conducted at age 13 y, before initiation of cannabis use, and again at age 38 y, after a pattern of persistent cannabis use had developed. Persistent cannabis use was associated with neuropsychological decline broadly across domains of functioning, even after controlling for years of education. Informants also reported noticing more cognitive problems for persistent cannabis users. Impairment was concentrated among adolescent-onset cannabis users, with more persistent use associated with greater decline. Further, cessation of cannabis use did not fully restore neuropsychological functioning among adolescent-onset cannabis users."

Never qualified?Nope. We have never had a team as good as we have now.
Nope. We have never had a team as good as we have now.Yeah, the netherlands are really under-performing! I'll be rooting for you :)

You failed to steal, and were caught by the police. You paid $200 as bail.I feel you bro.

Iceland the third nation to grab a place at the Euro 2016 (after the hosts)!(after the hosts.... and England.... ;) )
First time ever that our male football team competes in a big competition like that.
(after the hosts.... and England.... ;) )No I meant third if we don't consider the hosts ;)
Congrats to you! Looks like Wales are going to qualify for their first major tournament in 58 years as well. I'll be rooting for you, after England that is.

what is labour?One of the two main UK political parties.
Not that you Americans care, but Labour has elected an extreme left winger as their new leader. God help us all if he gets into power, thankfully most think he's going to fail.You mean a communist??
You mean a communist??Not quite that far, you'd describe him as a socialist really.
Not quite that far, you'd describe him as a socialist really.Just waking up the Americuhns
Just waking up the AmericuhnsIn America, socialism and communism are treated as pretty much the same thing. They're interchangeable when insulting politicians.

Not that you Americans care, but Labour has elected an extreme left winger as their new leader. God help us all if he gets into power, thankfully most think he's going to fail.What are his views? If he's an extreme left authoritarian, then yeah, hopefully he doesn't get into power.
I won't do any big forum work till VizionEck goes gold.So 2017 then?
I won't do any big forum work till VizionEck goes gold, but wouldn't it be cool if the forum had its own programing language?That would actually be really cool.
Having the list of youtube videos auto update was really cool, and having metacritic scores auto update would also be pretty cool as Pi suggested. The problem with things like this is each one needs to be hard coded into the bot system. It's a bloated and convoluted solution.
Instead, the forum/bots should have their own high level programing that can be entered by any user in any post. Wouldn't be too user friendly, but it'd allow unlimited forum features.
What are his views? If he's an extreme left authoritarian, then yeah, hopefully he doesn't get into power.He wants everything to be government controlled: he wants a national education service, government controlled railways, he wants the energy sector controlled by the government (no more energy companies). He also wants us to leave NATO, doesn't support the EU, wants a national maximum wage and wants to allow people to claim more benefits. Of course, taxes will have to rise to pay for all this as well.

Those are all terrible ideas... What the hell is the Labour party thinking?They were thinking they want to go back to their left wing roots I guess. Its funny, there was so many senior figures in the labour party calling for their members to vote for someone else, because Corbyn is "unelectable" ... now they've got to try and convince us that he actually is the right man for the job. There's some predicting Labour might be on the fringes of politics for a generation now

My god this refugee crisis is totally out of handhow so?
how so?European countries are starting to badly fall out over it. Borders are being closed, no one wants to take the refugees in. It's just gone crazy. Imo we should let them through and I think we (the UK) should welcome them, at least 20k per year.

Imo we should let them through and I think we (the UK) should welcome them, at least 20k per year.Indeed, I think so too. Many here in Iceland don't even want to take in a few. Every little thing helps imo!
Indeed, I think so too. Many here in Iceland don't even want to take in a few. Every little thing helps imo!Yeah some don't want any, some think we shouldn't take many. I think we should take as many as the EU wants us to, maybe more. I don't get disappointed by many news from the con government but when they announced 4k per year for the next parliament I was gutted, these people need us.
How many are there?over a million was the last I heard, but the minority are trying to go to Europe as far as I heard (maybe a few hundred K in Europe)
How many are there?Well the numbers are increasing all the time. Last year about 280,000 refugees entered Europe. This year there's already been more than 500,000 with 146,000 in the last month alone. Most are heading for Germany but after they accepted about 40,000 last weekend they're struggling and are now tightening their borders and trying to get others to accept more instead.
@Dr. Pezus seen that Luke Shaw injury? Its absolutely horrific, I'd link a video if I wasn't going to throw up if I saw it again. I feel so bad for him.Yep I was watching the match. What a nightmare of a match, especially that incidence. His leg was flopping around.
Yep I was watching the match. What a nightmare of a match, especially that incidence. His leg was flopping around.Yeah I know, losing is bad but that was just awful. I was watching the city match but a couple of my Man Utd friends messaged me about it so I watched a video and it was just awful. They've confirmed it as a double fracture. I'm worried he'll miss Euro 2016 now

They've confirmed it as a double fracture. I'm worried he'll miss Euro 2016 nowYeah it seemed like a double fracture, just straight through it all. Otherwise the foot wouldn't flop around like that.
Yeah it seemed like a double fracture, just straight through it all. Otherwise the foot wouldn't flop around like that.Yeah he was playing very well. It'd be great if he could get back playing before the end of the season. I can't believe anyone could recover from something like that in just half a year
He had been playing so well this season too. I'd say he'll be out at least 6 months, but hopefully not much more. Unfortunately that will kill his form though so he will need more time to get back into the game.
Yeah he was playing very well. It'd be great if he could get back playing before the end of the season. I can't believe anyone could recover from something like that in just half a yearWell at least he is young. If he was closing on 30 it would probably take more of a toll long-term
Iceland will be featuring on Snapchat tomorrow! Whoop whoop. Prepare for a million of my snapsIt's happening!!

He just keeps impressing.Yeah just look at some of those comments. Ugh
Sadly might not do as much damage as it should.
There are actual case studies... I don't know if its an epidemic, but big pharma is out of control in USThere is 1 case study that supports the autism vaccine link, but the case was fraudulent.
and unless Trump drops out he will probably be the next president. The only possible way the next prez is a democrat is if a newcomer comes along that is more charismatic than the existing possibles, and repubs put up JEB...
If it turns out JEB vs Hillary the country loses...
Charisma always wins the presidency regardless of party lines
There are actual case studies... I don't know if its an epidemic, but big pharma is out of control in USNo, there is not. The doctor that fabricated that study is a laughing stock. Other, better, studies were done after his that confirmed that there is no link whatsoever.

That doctor stood to gain financially from his "research". Money can be dangerous, even to people who are supposed to care about their patients before all.
There is no way that trump becomes a president. There has to be something on the way that stops this racist, uninformed man that only seems to care about money from becoming the most powerful man in the world
Don't forget sexist.Oh I forgot that. I guess "manchild" would suffice.
Think itd be more accurate to say child.
The doctor responsible.
On 28 January 2010, a five-member statutory tribunal of the GMC found three dozen charges proved, including four counts of dishonesty and 12 counts involving the abuse of developmentally challenged children
I know a guy that knows a guy who knew Trump as a teen. Told some story about how trump bought this girl a really nice car. They ended up getting married.So that's what I'm missing
No, there is not. The doctor that fabricated that study is a laughing stock. Other, better, studies were done after his that confirmed that there is no link whatsoever.I thought he was running for US President. ???

I thought he was running for US President. ???Is the American president still the most powerful man on earth? - Telegraph Blogs (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/seanthomas/100257505/is-the-american-president-still-the-most-powerful-man-on-earth/)
mainstream Media news outlets are a joke... Who cares if trump didn't defend obama... that is not his job... Trump laughed at the question and moved past it appropriately he didn't give credence to what the crazy guy said... just like when a "911 truther" asked him about the twin towers going down he just blew him off and moved on..."Officers said Ahmed was being "passive aggressive" in his answers to their questions, and didn't have a "reasonable answer" as to what he was doing with the case. Investigators said the student told them that it was just a clock that he was messing around with.
Trump is not a racist/sexist/biggot like the media will have you believe at all... Media loves taking things out of context and making a big deal out of nothing...
Like the kid with the "clock and briefcase" in Irving... probably shouldn't have been handcuffed, but it sounded like he was being unruly towards the police to begin with... also the faculty acted appropriately.
In 95-96 my middle school was evacuated because a girl had brought a prop for a play which looked like dynamite with a timer. Very similar situation, but the girl wasn't arrested because they didn't know at the time who had what they believed to be a bomb as a younger student had reported it to the faculty.
yeah like I said I don't think it was necessary, but I wasn't there. I just don't think it should have been made into the big deal it seems to have become...Imo Trump is all about his own money. He doesn't care at all about other people, except maybe his friends and family lol
The main reason I like Trump is that he isn't a politician. As far as I'm concerned politics is a game where the people lose. Ideally I'd prefer a more republican lead country, but ultimately they both play for the same team and it's not the American people. I'm still not sure if Trump is for the people, but I'd say it's more likely than a majority of others out there. Bernie sounds like he is as well, but can't say I agree with his means. Government is supposed to work for the people not the other way around!
Imo Trump is all about his own money. He doesn't care at all about other people, except maybe his friends and family lolperhaps, but the economy overall isn't doing that well despite fraudulent reports. The only reason it's doing better than the past is because of the american people's' resilience in spite of the government's actions to hurt it.

I'm working on computer homework.Well that's a good thing to do!
Well that's a good thing to do!Yeah it is! :D
Yeah it is! :DHow many lines are just comments? ;)
It's kind of a lottery game.
69 lines of code. Many of which are blank, or "}"
How many lines are just comments? ;)None of them yet. :(
None of them yet. :(It wasn't till my second year of game dev that I realised how awesome comments are. I'd come back to some old code and think "why the fudge did I do it this way? Let me fix that" only to completely break everything else.
I have bad form.
"Back in my day, there weren't any nice ways to write comments. Additionally we could only look at 8 lines of code at a time."

just moving out from my parents lol, to live with my gfThis is your last year of school right?
just moving out from my parents lol, to live with my gfDOOOOOOM!
just moving out from my parents lol, to live with my gfYou still live with your parents?
You still live with your parents?It's expensive becoming a doctor, medical school and whatnot.
You still live with your parents?Of course! Moving out on your own really isn't an option in the capital area now for students (hasn't been since...2008/09 or something). Plus, I've been a full-time student for a long time now and didn't get a real well paying job until this summer and I'll continue taking shifts there with school to be able to pay for rent and other stuff to survive.
This is your last year of school right?Yes, in theory lol
Today I wrote a program that allows the user to store a list of complex numbers, along with multiplying, subtracting, adding, any of them.Like a calculator, or am I imagining that wrong?

Microsoft announces Surface Pro 4. Says it will replace your laptop. Announces Surface Book, a new laptop.Lol, what a coincidence is that? :D
HoloLens devkits to cost $3,000. It also sounds like Microsoft was cautioning people about what to expect for the retail price. Making sure people understand it's a standalone device.That's a pretty cheap dev kit. They must be trying to get these into the hands of app developers and the like.

Cricket is almost as bad tbh but there's so many sports I'd rather watch. Where's the fun in waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting ... then watching a few seconds of play and waiting forever again? Boring afA lot of people feel the same way about hockey and soccer (football). Maybe a few seconds of intensity around the net followed by a goal or the puck/ball being shot back out to the middle and guys just dancing around each other for a while. Baseball is another sport one could consider far more boring.

While the day is still young, today is the most active day of October so far! Tomorrow will surely beat it, though.
HALO AND PARIS!Yeah, like that would do anything for this site's activity ;D
All we need next is a big thing from Nintendo.
Yeah, like that would do anything for this site's activity ;DI'm always here.
Who's gonna be active in the live view thread tomorrow? I will be, for sure.
I'm always here.Great! You better post a lot though. Sony's TGS show was disappointing, pretty much no one showed up so the thread got barely any posts

How on Earth do people watch NFL?what you need to know is that football is a very strategy heavy game like chess. don't get me wrong,.. there is still athletic skill involved but the coaching and play calling is a huge part of winning or losing. get the right formation, make the right call, then execute the play.

I always just got the impression it was mainly a sport about brute force and tackles
think of it like this:
if soccer, basketball, hockey are all action adventure games then football is a turn-based RPG.
That's a nice analogy actually. I always just got the impression it was mainly a sport about brute force and tacklesi mean it helps to be a great athlete but if you are an amazing running back and your offensive line doesn't make the right blocks to create an opening in the exact spot the running back expects to run you won't get very far.

Jim Sterling is starting to really annoy me.What is he doing that's annoying you? Is he SJW'ing again like he did with Quiet?
What is he doing that's annoying you? Is he SJW'ing again like he did with Quiet?Not really. He's just taken the role of the cynical Brit and jumped off the dang deep end with it. Ever since Konami blacklisted him and their AAA development went two natural pines up he's just been almost nothing but a ball of negativity. He went on a dang bender and rant on Twitter. It was like he was trying to take a record for the number of times someone on the internet could tell a company to go fudge itself. He also can't help but point and laugh at people in the comments section of his own website. He seems to constantly talk down about.... nearly everything. Even decided to take some shots at David Cage right after Sony's conference.

What do you guys do to get your sleeping pattern back to normal? Currently staying up for 2 days so I can go to sleep early tonight and hopefully keep it like that.If I need to go to sleep early I turn all my lights dim earlier then usual then come off all electronics really early. Then I read a book until I feel tired and go to bed. If I'm staying up later I just... don't fall asleep.
I keep getting stuck in limbo and it's too hard to fix it by going the opposite way..
So Im watching this video about haunted roads.I'm shocked!

What do you guys do to get your sleeping pattern back to normal? Currently staying up for 2 days so I can go to sleep early tonight and hopefully keep it like that.I jerk off. No seriously. I figure out what time I need to pass out to get my sleep schedule in order and I rub one out. But I don't use any material. Just my imagination. Makes it take a lot longer. It ends up feeling more like exercise.
I keep getting stuck in limbo and it's too hard to fix it by going the opposite way..
Dim the lights, don't use bright screens (that includes your phone), don't study or work at least 1-2 hours before bed. What Raven said can help, tooYeah avoid blue lights.

Taking my Oxford entry test tomorrow. :'( Very nervous right now but I think I'm well preparedI believe in you.
I believe in you.Thanks Pi! They can ask a really wide range of questions, there's some I'm not so good and and some I can do really well. I hope I get a bit lucky. Doing past papers, I've got between 53 and 75% depending on the questions, so I hope its kind! (You usually need just under 50% to get an interview)
I'll be right behind you, giving you answers.
Okay, maybe not. But I'll be believing in you from a distance. A respectable distance.

That's terrific!Oh you had a look, yeah they can be quite fun to have a go at its just the time pressure of 2 hours kinda ruins it a bit ;D You can't think about one question for too long.
Yeah, it looks like the aptitude tests asks a bunch of calc, probability, and others.
The physics questions look fun though!

No pressure."your family will disown you, your friends will become your enemies and make fun of you for the rest of your life, you will be banned from all corners of the internet, and a very good chance that you will be deported from Britain into Australia. My goodness, you don't want to hear how good of a chance you have. Absolutely dreadful, absolutely. But no pressure. There's absolutely no pressure, nothing to be worried about. Just some awful things that will happen and could happen, should you fail. Just don't worry about it, put it in the back of your mind, and forget I said anything."
Oh you had a look, yeah they can be quite fun to have a go at its just the time pressure of 2 hours kinda ruins it a bit ;D You can't think about one question for too long.Well yeah, I was curious. It's Oxford after all! I was curious to see what kind of material would be on it.
Yeah... that or I go to a different University which is almost as good and get the same degree ;)
Honestly the best thing about Oxford is the name. A degree there is just as good for getting a job as a degree at others. Once you get an interview for a job its a level playing field and where you studied doesn't matter at all. My second choice is Imperial College London and that has just as good a reputation for Physics.
When will you know? :Doh yeah I forgot to say it went well but that could mean anything. It felt a little easier than usual, I'm not sure if that just means it suited me more or whether it was easier on the whole. I'm fairly confident I've done enough to get an interview but I don't think my score will be anything special, which puts pressure on me for the interview.
And then when will we know? 8)

I won't find my score unless I ask for it but I'll know if I have an interview some time before December 7th (which is a week before the interview dates of 14th-16th) :D
That is terrific! :DThanks! I wouldn't say its terrific but I'm happy. I can only think of one question where I got it wrong and I should have got it right... which has probably lost me 3 or 4 marks. Other than that I think I couldn't have done better, so I'm pleased!

In 2011 it was about

2.7 bars for every grocery store.

Then there's a town a few miles down the road that has like 7 houses, 2 bars, and 1 gas station, and that's pretty much it.
Wow, amazing!I'm exaggerating, but it's not actually a town.

A lot of people misunderstand PEMDAS/BODMAS/BEDMAS/ETC.Math is hard and the average human is stupid. Not hard to see why most people fail at math
-I could not count the number of posts where PEMDAS people think that either multiplying comes before division.
-I also could not count the number of posts where people think all problems are solved left to right. 1+1+1+1+1+1*0=0
-I even saw a post about how BODMAS and PEMDAS came up with different answers, because of some junk. So it's not just an American thing. Europeans suck at math too.

Some math is very hard. Math as an entity is very very very hard but this is basic stuff.If you're talking to me then indices. That's just the way I got taught it about 5 years ago.

Two hundred years ago a writer in the London newspaper The Times would have agreed with you...Leah Earl's answer to Why are high school dances just filled with grinding nowadays? - Quora (https://www.quora.com/Why-are-high-school-dances-just-filled-with-grinding-nowadays/answer/Leah-Earl?srid=CQ4i)
Quoteit is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs and close compressor on the bodies in their dance, to see that it is indeed far removed from the modest reserve which has hitherto been considered distinctive of English females. So long as this obscene display was confined to prostitutes and adulteresses, we did not think it deserving of notice; but now that it is attempted to be forced on the respectable classes of society by the civil examples of their superiors, we feel it a duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion.... except that the dance he is describing is the waltz that you regard with approval.
And therein perhaps lies some of the answer - outraging the more small-c conservative observers has been an important aspect of popular dance trends for so long now that it's unlikely to change any time soon.

Charlie Sheen HIV positive. No idea why this is like a big surprise or a huge deal in the media. He's both a drug addict and has had naughtiness with a lot of people (according to him). It's not a huge deal because modern therapy for HIV is really good. Most of the time it is one tablet per day and you barely have to worry about anything.I don't think it's the surprise.
"By the way I do have a strong sense of honesty and ethics... why are you suggesting I dont?"Well, Bananaking handled him perfectly. He called Kowen out on his obfuscation and did not bite the bait. Kowen knew that he could not offer a valid argument, so he tried to change the subject to gain foothold elsewhere. However, that ended up backfiring.

Just went to the chertz and this "self-assessment" just made me chuckle, Kowenicki, if you happen to stumble upon this, you're a joke and an utter fanboy, who does anything but care about honesty when it comes to defending and applauding dear old MS for whatever BS spin they throw at you.
Lol, and this is like the only thread he has been active in lately, right? God, welcome to da chartzChartz has a lot of bad apples, but Kowen doesn't even fit among the bad apples. I never see him talk about games. All he seems to care about are Microsoft's financial performance and in this case, Halo 5's sales.

Me - Hey
...And we sit in the break room saying nothing for the remaining 20 minutes. =/

FML man I'm so screwed -.-
The only person I have to go to the movies to is my eight year old brother...and I'm 21. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy taking him to see movies he's interested in, but sometimes I wish I had someone to go with when I want to go see something a little more mature. And I'm too self conscious to go by myself.
I go to school and leave 3-4 hours later without having said a SINGLE word out loud to anyone. Don't even know why I'm writing this here I just felt I needed to vent a little.
Another way to look at it is this. If you don't do any talking at all, nothing is going to happen anyways. So you're guaranteed to be screwed. If you strike up a conversation and just be honest you have an actual chance that she might either be cool with that or even be in the same situation. So if your choices are do nothing and definitely lose or try something and possibly win... which is the better option?I'm more worried about the fact that, if she says no/rejects me it'll be extremely awkward around her because we work at the same place...If I never had to see her again it would be a different story.
Plus, if she's not cool with you playing games why would you want to be with her anyways? That makes you happy and she doesn't approve. To heck with that.
I'm more worried about the fact that, if she says no/rejects me it'll be extremely awkward around her because we work at the same place...If I never had to see her again it would be a different story.So you're just going to continue making it awkward and unfortunate for yourself? No one said you had to go, "DURRRRR I PLAY GAEMZORZ WILL YOU DATE MEH!?!?!?!?"
So you're just going to continue making it awkward and unfortunate for yourself? No one said you had to go, "DURRRRR I PLAY GAEMZORZ WILL YOU DATE MEH!?!?!?!?"Good advice. If I do see her from now on I'll make sure to ask her how she is and if we end up being in the same place at the same time for an extended period of time I'll try to ask her how she's enjoying the job (she's new) and ill see how it goes from there.
Just talk to the baby. Strike up conversation. Just let it happen naturally. Become friendly. If things don't look like they're working then just back off a bit. This really isn't that hard but you're making it sound like the only option is the example I gave above. Your problem is you're so afraid that it's not going to end in her dating you that you're making excuses to yourself to just not do anything at all. Find your spine, grow a pair, and just be yourself. Don't worry about trying to be impressive. Don't put so much stock into it working out with this one dang broad. Stop putting the bedspring on a pedestal. Get friendly. Feel out the situation. Don't make it clear you're into her. Just make her believe she's another person to you instead of someone you want to bang. Then when it seems like she's taking the bait, ask her if she'd like to do something with you at some point. If she turns you down just play it cool like a buddy just said he can't come over tonight because he has to work in the morning. Allow yourself zero expectations no matter how good things look.
Good advice. If I do see her from now on I'll make sure to ask her how she is and if we end up being in the same place at the same time for an extended period of time I'll try to ask her how she's enjoying the job (she's new) and ill see how it goes from there.Just be a nice guy.
Her brother works here too, so I hope he won't get to defensive/protective.

A lot of my facebook friends are evidently unhappy about our Goverment's decision to start bombing IS in Syria and are sharing loads of things saying not in my name and stuff like that. I've seen a lot of posts about it today.Why are they unhappy about it?
I would have had a lot of fun with a dislike button, that's for sure.
Why are they unhappy about it?Because they're against the air strikes I guess. I'm all for them. Yes there are obvious downsides but there's downsides to anything we do in this situation and I think bombing these terrorists is the right decision. I'll accept people's views when they say that innocent people may be killed but I think that's failing to see the bigger picture, ISIS kill hundreds if not thousands of innocents every day and we need to do everything we can to stop them. Imo we should be pushing to do more than just air strikes.

It's very easy to become that kind of righteous when you aren't the one being told to risk everything.
Labour's leader Jeremy Corbyn really makes my blood boil, he keeps repeating that we need to try and find a diplomatic solution to this war. What a load of nonsense, not only is that never going to possible because none of the rebels will give up but its also disgusting. He's saying that we should just leave ISIS be, let them carry on beheading people, committing mass murder and acts of terrorism... because that's what they'll do if the war ends and they get to keep all of the land they control. I really hate that man.
What if Batman had only 1 rule, and it was: don't eat ice cream on Sundays.Joker would've been already dead lol

They don't care if they die because they think they will be awarded in the afterlife for beheading non-Muslims and raping women.

There's a storm called Storm Desmond which is sitting right on top of Iceland today and is causing weather warning across the UK for heavy, sustained rain and gale force winds. Nice.The weather is pretty bad in many places in Iceland. Plus, many cars are stuck on the street and people had to be rescued by police lol. They've given out a warning for my area to not drive anywhere today
What's it like up there, @Dr. Pezus ?
The weather is pretty bad in many places in Iceland. Plus, many cars are stuck on the street and people had to be rescued by police lol.

The Western Allies ceased having serious doubts the moment the US entered the war. There was almost no doubt in the heads of Churchill and Roosevelt that Germany would end in defeat. Upon hearing that Germany had declared war on the US, Churchill declared, "We have won!"Not sure how accurate this one is though.
In his memories, lord Churchill says that after Pearl Harbor, he had his first night of sound sleep in a long time. He felt sorry for the US, but he knew that if they were on the Allied side, victory was inevitable.
When was it known for sure that Hitler was going to lose the war?Interesting, I'd say even without America Germany would have lost. Russia proved to be too powerful

Not sure how accurate this one is though.
Interesting, I'd say even without America Germany would have lost. Russia proved to be too powerfulHere's another one!
The British knew for sure when the US entered the war.
The Soviets knew for sure after the winter attack around Stalingrad.
German officers came to this conclusion gradually, between Stalingrad and the 1944 operations ( Overlord and Bagratian)
Hitler knew for sure in 1945.
Modern historians believe the outcome was decided by the relative sizes of the German and Soviet economies, before a shot had been fired.
Here's another one!That is probably true. The Russians owned the Germans really. The only surprising thing is how far the Germans managed to advance into Russia before Russia turned it around.

A liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, a known atheist.NeoGAF - View Single Post - the student's name...EINSTEIN (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=188399993&postcount=36)
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!"
At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.
"How old is this rock?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied "4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian"
"Wrong. Its been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real then it should be an animal now"
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears. The same tears liberals cry for the "poor" (who today live in such luxury that most own refrigerators) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from the deserving job creators. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, DeShawn Washington, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a sophist liberal professor. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!
The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Small Government" flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.
The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.

Donald Trump's Muslim US ban call roundly condemned - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35037701)
Just lock him up already before he does more damageYou do know we already ''ban" certain groups of people from coming to our country, it just not out right called a ban. But all the sudden some one suggest doing to the same to a group of people based on a religious beliefs and everyone looses their shame?
You do know we already ''ban" certain groups of people from coming to our country, it just not out right called a ban. But all the sudden some one suggest doing to the same to a group of people based on a religious beliefs and everyone looses their shame?Sure, why not.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I'm sick of people jumping on a bandwagon they know nothing about. If we let a group of people in our country that we know is going to let in terrorist, then fudge it I should be able to bring over my wife's parents with out an issue.
You do know we already ''ban" certain groups of people from coming to our country, it just not out right called a ban. But all the sudden some one suggest doing to the same to a group of people based on a religious beliefs and everyone looses their shame?What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?Yes, that's why I said its not called a ban. But you should look into how hard it is to bring a Filipinos into the country. The only way to do it is to marry. There are ways to bring family but it's a hard long drawn out process. Basically they make the visas so hard to get it might as well be a ban.
We certainly make restrictions for the quantity of people coming in, but we (as far as I know or can find) don't have any laws restricting a group of people coming into the country.
Sure, why not.Which were stupid statements on his part.
Everyone is losing their shame because Trump is a racist nationalist and he is winning (on one of the two sides). He is talking about excluding all muslims from the country. Earlier he said he wanted to mark them so all would know they were muslims. History repeats itself, they say, but I never thought it would be so obvious.

A little bit of insite, it took 2 years for my wife's to get approved with 2 battleship rejections. Plus a year of work prior to the actual start of the paper work.
I would lover to bring my wife's parents over so they could help with the kids and see their Grand babies, but they would be nearly 4 years old by the time that happen, if we could even get it done.
But I can agree with not flooding them into our country. There's already enough places in America you wouldn't want to go. We don't need to add even more. Just look at Frances no go zones for example.It's a difficult subject.
YeeeI agree with most of the parallels, with the exception to the last one.
There's a lot of Filipino immigrants, and it sounds like the yes/no is random for deciding who comes in.Yes, because at one time it was fairly easy. And we had a base in the Philippines. Now it near impossible with out marring a U.S citizens.
It's a difficult subject.

I've never understood why British food is maligned.

But, British food - although no Italian - is wonderful. I cherish my opportunities to go home and enjoy it.

I guess this serves as a LTTP, so a little explanation! I recently stumbled upon this show, and its adorable. As one of the works of Lev Atamanov (AKA the Miazaki of russian animation), it is a children show but is extremely well directed and adorable as hell. It revolves around a kitten who calls himself gaf (or woof, depending on the translation). There are five episodes in total, the last being after Atamanov's death.

News channels should also stop disclosing shooters' names. Do not give them their moment of 'glory' just so you can gain more viewers and money.I don't think that's what all shooters are after.
I don't think that's what all shooters are after.Cracking down on bullying would probably do more than making even more gun laws.

I don't think that's what all shooters are after.I know. Obviously, not all shooters are looking for attention. Therefore, we should find various simple solutions rather than looking for a "one size fits all" policy.

In 1980, Rhode Island accidentally legalized indoor prostitution, but nobody appeared to notice until a 2003 court case. It took state lawmakers another six years to close the loophole and re-criminalize prostitution. But a new study that examined those six years finds that between 2003 and 2009, there was a "large decrease in rapes" and a "large reduction in gonorrhea" among both men and women.Study: Rhode Island's accidental experiment with legal prostitution sharply cut rape cases (http://theweek.com/speedreads/450011/study-rhode-islands-accidental-experiment-legal-prostitution-sharply-cut-rape-cases)
The researchers, Scott Cunningham at Baylor University and UCLA's Manisha Shah, speculate that the up to 31 percent drop in per capita rape cases was "due to men substituting away from rape toward prostitution," and the drop in sexually transmitted diseases is likely because indoor prostitutes tend to be safer sexually than outdoor ones. "The results suggest that decriminalization could have potentially large social benefits for the population at large -- not just naughtiness market participants," wrote Cunningham and Shah. Their working paper was published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Peter Weber

Woooooow, it's amazing bread.
I bought myself a SJcam, supposed to arrive tomrrow. cant wait to try it outthe old fasion way, or with a bread machine? homemade bread is so dang goodI use a bread machine to basically make dough, then I bake it in the oven.
haha this camera is freakin tiny, its pretty sweet so far, and looks like itll also work as a dash cam. I knew it was small but it surprised me when i got it lolWhat camera?
cant wait to try it out underwater

As to what I saw that day, I am not certain.
You guys might remember that I was having some interviews for Oxford University a while ago. Well I heard back from them last month saying I wasn't going to get an offer. I was a bit upset but it was fine by me as long as I got into Imperial College, since I couldn't decide between the two anyway.YAY!
Well I had an interview at Imperial a few weeks ago and found out yesterday that I've got an offer from them. Now I just need to get to A*s from further maths and physics this year and I'm off to study in London. Exciting!
YAY!Well I haven't yet, need to get the grades. Further Maths won't be a worry, I've got amazing teachers and I'm doing loads of extra modules as back ups. Its just Physics I'm worried about, my teacher this year is terrible.
Glad you've made it in.
Well I haven't yet, need to get the grades. Further Maths won't be a worry, I've got amazing teachers and I'm doing loads of extra modules as back ups. Its just Physics I'm worried about, my teacher this year is terrible.That sucks. :P
That sucks. :PYeah it does. Luckily the stuff we get taught at this level is so simple I can work it out myself pretty easily. The only problem comes when answering exam questions and I haven't learned the proper approach for them.

Thanks! Hopefully I won't need it!Sounds a lot more expensive too.
I'm really excited to go and live in London, it'll be so much fun compared to living on the outskirts of a small city :)
Sounds a lot more expensive too.Yeah it will be. Student accommodation near Imperial in London is about £235 a week for an en suite single room, for example.
Yeah it will be. Student accommodation near Imperial in London is about £235 a week for an en suite single room, for example.From parents?
I get lots of extra financial support if I study in London though.
From parents?No. They don't have much money to give me. I get a government loan to fully cover tuition fees, same as everyone (this is £9000 a year but you never see this money, it goes straight to the university). You can also get a maintenance loan which increases depending on your household income and whether or not you'll study in London. I'll get £10,700 a year from that because my household income is low. I'll also get a £4000 bursary from Imperial because of my low household income as well, which I don't have to pay back.

I had a feeling this would happen, especially after the New Years Eve Cologne sexual assaults.
You cannot take in such a large amount of people suddenly whose culture and moral barometer is very different from yours and expect smooth results. Especially when you're not actively keeping them under control from the start. Sometimes, the price for being the good guy is too steep and preyed upon by people who just don't care.Unfortunately, Merkel isn't admitting that she really screwed Germany (and Europe) up. Instead, the German government is following Sweden's example when it comes to censorship, i.e. forcing Google, Facebook, & Twitter to remove anti-migrant 'hate speech'. When you try to cover your dog like that, the citizens will obviously get pissed off, hence why the AFD made significant gains.

On a different note, my next few physics classes will be out of order due to AP stuff and weird scheduling.
Basically Physics I -> Modern Physics (basically 3rd semester) ->physics II (basically 2nd semester) and Classical Physics (basically 4th semester).
Aww how cute ;)I don't think it does. But usually they require Physics II for Modern Physics.
Nice one! Physics is always fun though, does the order matter that much?

90% of my phone calls are for a specific dude that's never lived here. Pretty sure a collections agency found our number and it's the only info they have on the guy.That's when you start pranking them.
Not too long ago they called pretending to be a long lost friend that heard he died, hoping to "trick" us into correcting them and giving more info.
Why does it say high school?It sounds like several teachers took questions from a joke test.
In 2007, Will Klundt, a teacher at Moriarty High School in Moriarty, New Mexico, incorporated the following question into the final exam he administered to his fall semester algebra freshman class:QuoteSmoky J. sells meth. Smoky's source says he has to sell a G's worth of meth by the end of the month. If Smoky sold $240 the first week and $532 the second week, how much money must Smoky make if he wants to avoid the beat down from his connection?
Those named in these later examples are far from the first persons to have been disciplined for distributing the "L.A. Math Test." In 1997, six teachers at the Elsie Robertson High School in Lancaster, Texas, and another at the Norte Vista High School in Riverside, California, were suspended for doing the same thing. Likewise, in 1994, a Chicago elementary school teacher who gave a similar test was suspended for thirty days without pay and then resigned. Also in 1994, an Indiana high school teacher who gave the test apologized but was suspended anyway. And in 1993, a similar test was printed on phony school letterhead and passed around at workplaces in Redwood City, California.The most recent one is this 8th grade teacher.

That seems in pretty poor taste ???Ha sure

Yes it willRates of other types of violent crime will rise in place of gun crimes. Violent crime per capita is actually higher in Europe (http://www.germanjoys.eu/2015/10/violent-crime-is-more-common-in-europe-than-the-usa.html) than in the US despite the former having more restrictive firearm laws. Also, Vermont has the least restrictive gun laws, but it has the least gun murders per capita in the US.

I did see the news and I was angry and sad at the same time. I shouldn't have reacted in here so strongly. Sorry guys.I thought this was about something from a few days ago. But I just saw the news. "Horrific", "disgusting", those words, they just doesn't cover it. Your emotions are understandable.
I was being stupid yesterday but this is the point I was trying to make:Mental health is a gravely overlooked issue in the US. It doesn't help that decades ago, a lot of mentally ill patients were released from psyche wards because someone convinced a politician that mental illness was battleship. In the US, you're three times more likely to get killed in a car accident than you are to be murdered by a gun. The Orlando shooting was a domestic terror attack. A terrorist does not obey your laws. Making guns illegal wouldn't have stopped what happened in Orlando just as it wouldn't have stopped 9/11 or the Boston Marathon bombing. What happened in Orlando was carried out by someone with intent. Not by someone who happened to have a gun on them, got into an altercation with someone, and shot them unnecessarily. The only thing I do agree with is the ease by which a person can acquire a gun. A much more thorough background check and lengthy "cooldown" period can go a long way. However, this idea some people have that if we just take away the guns we'll all be safe is entirely ignorant to the root causes of these issues.
There's a serious issue in the US with violent crime and homicide and I believe that it being so easy to get hold of guns is one of the main reasons why.

This chart points out the issue very well.
Its just too easy to go out and get a gun. I remember seeing on BBC news a while ago one of their reporters flying to America and they managed to get hold of a pistol within 4 hours of landing.

Although I think there would be a lot less mass shootings and alleged terror attacks if it wasn't so easy to get guns. Things like that could happen in the UK but they don't as much and that is down to guns and, like you said, other root causes.
I was being stupid yesterday but this is the point I was trying to make:Even if we took away every gun we would still have twice the murder rate than the next closest country. They would just replace a gun for another weapon. And theres many legitimate reasons to have a gun here outside of self protection. Poverty here is beyond bad. Education is a big pile of shame here, and there are far too many gangs and mobs.

If you think single moms deserve 2 days, while completely ignoring single dads (especially on their day); you are a sexist (arguably against both genders).
Either give them both 2 days for working extra hard, or stop giving women special attention on father's day.
Who said that?Who said what?
Oh okay.Is it?
Is it?No, mothers have thier day. They dont get two.

Well finally the day of our referendum has come. I'm expecting remain to win but it'll be interesting to see how close it is.I kinda want a shame storm to happen. So part of me hopes the vote is to leave the EU.
I kinda want a shame storm to happen. So part of me hopes the vote is to leave the EU.Same ;)
Why do you guys want to leave the EU?They're "special"
Why do you guys want to leave the EU?Sovereignty. Pro-Brexit voters want the UK to have more control over UK matters. The European Commission is not democratically elected and as a result, the public does not have the power to keep it in check. There are also financial reasons for Brexit, most namely in regards to immigration.
I'm back!!!wow i need to read this thread more, where in canada?
Fun trip. Drove up to Montana for a wedding, and then hit Canada and yellowstone on the way back. Seems I spend too much time inside staring at a computer screen because my eyes got sun burnt.
wow i need to read this thread more, where in canada?Waterton Lakes national park and Cardston for some pizza.
Why do you guys want to leave the EU?What Aura said. Plus the EU is going severely downhill and I don't think its going to prosper for long. The Euro was a massive disaster and most countries that adopted it are struggling.
Waterton Lakes national park and Cardston for some pizza.nice, but explains your description of the scenery lol

The thing is, people are solely focusing on the short term economic shakeup for the UK in light of its departure. This isn't likely to be something that causes the UK to be in a long term financial rut. Trade will happen regardless. New deals will have to be made for an independent UK now. It'll be entirely on their terms, though. The UK will come out of it. This actually has far greater consequences for the EU.The successful Brexit now allows the UK to control its borders and illegal immigration, which has costed the country (and Europe, in general) a lot of money. The rate of migration is accelerating to the point where accommodation will be extremely difficult and it will come at the cost of taxpayer money (and lack of integration).
the gaf meltdowns are hilarious lolGAF seems to be very pro remain. As we can now see, GAF is an outlier.

I went to the makers fair in KC. I got to see a few 3d printers. I want an ultimaker 2 now. It seemed to have the best quality prints. Over all i was surpised by how strong 3d prints are.
Yes, id have a hard time buying one at that price. I dont think you could sell much you make on it. Unlike a cnc that could pay for its self.
Good gravy, that print job.
The price gave my wallet a heart attack though. I think I'll try finding an okay used car for that price....

The FTSE 250 is still down a lot though and the pound isn't recovering that well.

Sounds like Britain is bouncing back much faster than some expected.
The FTSE 250 is still down a lot though and the pound isn't recovering that well.A lot of investors bet on Britain staying. It was also a baby move by Cameron to resign before issuing Article 50. Now he's left it to the next PM and created a gap of uncertainty. Like it was a "fudge you" to those who voted Leave.
That being said, we haven't felt any effects yet
A lot of investors bet on Britain staying. It was also a baby move by Cameron to resign before issuing Article 50. Now he's left it to the next PM and created a gap of uncertainty. Like it was a "fudge you" to those who voted Leave.I don't really interpret it that way. He didn't want to invoke article 50 himself because he wanted the next prime minister, who supported leave, to do it and start the negotiations themselves. However, he also wanted to stay for a long time in order to keep some stability in the country, if he'd left instantly the effects would have been much worse as we'd have no prime minister. So he had to balance it.

That penalty shootout was woeful at first...It truly was.
yup, grabbed a used van for a grand canadian. low mileage, and been taken care of well. runs beautifully and actually has ac. lolHow much did you spend on it?
i also saw a car that me and my brother are pretty sure had a murder or something inside... blood splatter all over the interior ceiling lol
It truly was.How much did you spend on it?1000cad, which is a great deal. cant get a deal like that at a dealership lol
That doesn't sound very Canadian.
It truly was.How much did you spend on it?In reality it was a moose that got stuck by a car, that the person then shoved inside of the cab to run it to the nearest hospital.

There it is... France is playing amazingly while we are not playing well. Seems like all their shots go in. Is France really so much better than England?Well the english team is always gloriously shame at tournaments, so yeah they pretty much are. But hey, we're gonna avenge you in the semi final. :P
Well the english team is always gloriously shame at tournaments, so yeah they pretty much are. But hey, we're gonna avenge you in the semi final. :PI hope so, although I predicted France would win the tournament before it started. Maybe it's also the additional strength of playing at home that's helping a great deal.
There it is... France is playing amazingly while we are not playing well. Seems like all their shots go in. Is France really so much better than England?Yep, our teams always do hilariously awful at tournaments. Our players never care enough to be honest, England doesn't mean much. I can guarantee for all of our players they would want to win the champions league more than the Euros
Srsly though, France have so much quality up front. Payet has been a rockstar (why is he playing for West ham??), griezmann is the French Messi, Pogba is strong and creative. Their defense is not quite up to par with the rest of the team imo.Yeah they have a very strong attack. Payet has only really made a name for himself this year with West Ham. A lot of clubs will be interested now.
I'm predicting a French win though, 3-2 or something and I'm hoping that Ronaldo gets to the final too and gets humiliated
Yeah they have a very strong attack. Payet has only really made a name for himself this year with West Ham. A lot of clubs will be interested now.Maybe. I just see more chance of that happening vs France. The semi match will be close. I mean, Portugal has got this far without even winning a single match (in normal playtime) :o
It would be much better if Ronaldo got humiliated by Bale in the semis.

I don't think Brexit is going to happen.Why?
Why?The referendum wasn't a legally binding vote. It was advisory in nature. British Parliament could vote to stay and the referendum would be meaningless. The Prime Minister does not have to enact Article 50. Just watch. Over the next couple years you're going to see some political gymnastics and the end result will be Britain stays with a superficial "deal" with the EU. They're going to silently kill the vote by dragging this out since none of the politicians want to touch this right now. It's too hot. Guarantee that in the next 12 months the US will initiate a meeting with the EU and UK. Of course, this meeting will largely be a farce and just there to give the appearance of outside intervention.

I think it's interesting that a lot of those people call to full out ban guns like Europe, even though a lot of those European countries have very high rates of gun ownership.Well, gun ownership as well as ownership of other self-defense tools like pepper spray have significantly increased pretty recently in some of the European countries.
Iceland, Germany, and a few others have some of the highest rates in the world with about 30 guns per 100 people.

This isn't a time to be joking about gunsI disagree. Any time is time for a joke. It's all in delivery and intent. I was making jokes when my uncle died this past November and it helped me and everyone else come down. Also, if you're that sensitive about a joke over something that happened to people you don't even know, I'd say you're a little too sensitive.

Armbrust is German for crossbow. Haha we even ran into an Armbrust festival in one city.

Yes, we are basically under Sharia Law now. /sWell, one of the attacks wasn't even motivated by Islam.
Well, one of the attacks wasn't even motivated by Islam.I know, it was a shooting by a bullied maniac, those have unfortunately been happening once every couple years or less since the 90s.
I know, it was a shooting by a bullied maniac, those have unfortunately been happening once every couple years or less since the 90s.If they do start getting out of hand, send them to Poland for a tour of Auschwitz. They'll get the idea.
Germany is fine, there have been some horrible incidents, but those are naturally blown out of proportion by the media, cause they know that shame gets them attention.
I've personally only had positive encounters with refugees up till now, something I can't say about all our "worried citizens" some of which have gone full on 1933 again, I've talked to people that had no problem joking about killing all the refugees.
The whole situation is difficult as fudge but the armchair politicians online are really blowing things out if proportion.

I hate that Hololense has "turned me" against AR. Pre hololense I was super stoked for AR and imagined a future with it more common than smartphones.You're telling me Hololense isn't a device to shoot lasers into my eyes? :o
But I love VR too, and the stupid xbox and sony fanboys have turned it into a battle where my brain is forced to pick a side. Plus all the deceptive marketing of Hololense has turned me against the device in spirit. No they are not holograms, no it isn't cool the photons are shot into your eye, no AR gameplay like that is a gimmick, no the fov isn't anything close to that large, no the tracking isn't that good, no the resolution isn't that good, no it can't show dark colors, etc.
I hate this and it sucks. If hololense wasn't popular I'd probably be the one annoying people by posting updates on it. Arg anyone else have these kind of struggles? Logically you know something to be 100% one way, but your gut reaction goes a completely different direction. Or maybe that's just my inner hipster.I don't really feel that way.
I hate that Hololense has "turned me" against AR. Pre hololense I was super stoked for AR and imagined a future with it more common than smartphones.I'm still pretty excited about AR, though my opinions of Hololens have gradually declined the more I learned about its limitations. I do see your point on how the fanboy wars has created a ridiculous AR vs VR battle. I remember last year, Vasto was outright shilling for Hololens left-and-right and aggressively pushing the "VR sucks. AR is the future" narrative on Chartz. However, I try not to let my opinions on AR get affected by those of other people.

I remember one member who complained about Chartz showing a bad stuff ad. I wasn't sure if I should have laughed or facepalmed.I even made a thread about it.
I know it has happened at least twice. To me and another user.A few people even said they had the same thing happen. Two of them were even mods.
Went to vgchartz on mobile, and randomly got redirected to a never-before-seen-by-me bad stuff site.
Has this happened to anyone else?
The thread title does an accurate job of summing things up, but for more background, I was driving to work this morning on a 4-lane road, the bus was on the far right and I was in the next lane over. I was the first car in my lane and the bus was a few car lengths ahead of me when it turned on its flashing lights and prepared to stop. Despite there being a dozen schools in the area, I don't normally encounter school buses during my commute, so I didn't know whether I should slow down and stop aside the bus or keep going so as to get out of the way. In my indecision, I essentially did both - I slowed down to about 15 MPH and kept going, passing the bus as its stop sign began to extend.
Nobody honked or yelled anything at me, but here it is two hours later and I'm unable to concentrate at work because I'm wracked with anxiety and guilt. Am I a complete bumb, or am I making too big a deal out of this? Both? I don't know what I'm expecting with this thread, but I needed to get this off of my chest. I feel lousy.
It's funny how people are so confused by this.NeoGAF always produces the best random threads.

The video was uploaded on 11.10.2009, two months after a girl went missing in Wisconsin. The man in the video references stores which the girl might have visited shortly before going missing. It recently surfaced and I found out about it on reddit.Warning!

Hello People of VGChartz!
I'll keep this one simple and to the point - the time has come for another Moderator Evaluation Survey.
Each Moderator makes a commitment to the community when becoming a moderator. We'd like feedback from you about how we're living up to that commitment.
There are 10 questions in this survey. The name of each moderator is included in each question. For each question, please choose an option from Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, Strongly Agree.
A few comments and answers to likely questions:
- Please look at the rating scale carefully to ensure you provide the rating that you intend to provide.
- You do not need to answer for every moderator for every question. If you don't have enough information to answer for somebody, just leave that row blank. Leaving a row blank is the N/A option for this survey.
- That said, please do your best to answer as completely as possible.
- I intend to run this survey quarterly going forward. I'll use learning from this round to fine tune the survey next time.
- I haven't left space for comments. If you have comments that you'd like to share with me privately, you can. You can also message me with feedback about the structure of the survey itself.

It'll be upsetting to see how much Trump's establishment reverses the social progress we've made over the last few years.
The alt-right can fudge offThe alt-right used to be an umbrella term describing people of the right who weren't neoconservatives or part of the conservative establishment. Right libertarians would technically be part of the alt-right. However, the "alt-right" has been co-opted into a white nationalist movement.

I saw on Pi's facebook before people talking about 'white pride' and getting upset that white pride is labelled racist while black pride, gay pride, asian pride etc. are progressive and good movements. I can see where they're coming from but its a totally different thing.
White people in the west have never been opressed and have never faced the issues that these minority groups have. The pride is about them coming together as a minority group and celebrating their survival against all the hate they get. White people are in the majority and are still the most privalaged group of people. I do worry about what this white supremist movement is going to do now. I hope that black people, the LGBT community and others don't lose any rights they've fought for as a result of this.Maybe someday, everyone can either not have pride or have pride without worrying about anything. But right now, white pride is just like straight pride.
Someone reads my facebook? :oHaha well actually it just came up on my news feed :P
Gotta hide those underwear pics now....
Maybe someday, everyone can either not have pride or have pride without worrying about anything. But right now, white pride is just like straight pride.This is what I hope for. I don't think we're too far away from that in the west to be honest. Mnorities are becoming more and more accepted all the time, which is awesome. Our generation is, on the whole, extremely accepting. I think racism, homophobia etc. will mostly die out in the UK quite soon. I would say other countries but I don't know their culture well enough. I'd expect a lot of European countries and Canada to be similar. I would say the US too but the alt right stuff is going against this, and also Trump could fudge it all up.
You know, it's just so hard to come out straight. /s
It's just downright insensitive to the the people who have to struggle with bigots every day of their life.
Haha well actually it just came up on my news feed :PDoesn't matter, you still read it! :D

Richard Spencer thinks that the reason why Europe and NA is so successful is because white people are better.

Don't know why he thinks skin color is the determining factor between success and failure. Could it be that Europeans and North Americans are more successful because people who happen to be white had better ideas?Or that we don't really think about the advancements from other people and places?
Don't know why he thinks skin color is the determining factor between success and failure.Because he literally thinks black people are dumber, and whites and also asians are smarter.
Could it be that Europeans and North Americans are more successful because people who happen to be white had better ideas?I'd argue that it has almost everything to do with resources and culture.
Or that we don't really think about the advancements from other people and places?is a gigantic part of it as well.

Just seen HDTV Test put this review up they are one of the best TV review sites on the internet and provide a really good look into this 4K HDR TV cover many aspects which is important for gamers, so I thought I'd link it for people looking to buy this year.http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/ue55k...1609174362.htm (http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/ue55ks8000-201609174362.htm) They confirm the HDR Game mode Samsung enabled is legit and not watered down so very impressive 22ms input lag which is pretty much the lowest HDR input lag you'll find on a 4K HDR TV this year I'd say. Also, they go over the bad points of the TV so people looking to buy can make an informed choice.

4000 a year, thats cheap.It's cheap, if you're making something. But nothing beats free.
I pay a lot more than that but it all gets covered by the government's student loan system :DThe way, it is looking is that I'll have to repay back about $30,000 in loans. Which actually ends up being pretty cheap here. I don't want to add additional expenses. If I were to live on campus, it'd end up being like $50,000 in loans (If I started living on campus next semester). :P Which would suck greatly.

Luckily the student loans here aren't really proper loans. You only have to pay back 9% of what you earn above £21,000 a year if you are in a job which pays that much, if not you don't pay it back. Then it gets written off after 35 years.

I lived an hour away from my University and lived with my parents so I didn't have to worry about anything except school. Now just imagine adding another 100,000 debt or more maybe! That could likely be me if I for sure go to gnomon. Don't want to have that much debt, but I honestly don't feel confident in working at a studio right now. i just feel I have way too much to learn for 3d environment art. i know I'd learn a lot at a job, but who knows when i'll get that first job.

This fits with the all the rumors suggesting they were, and confirms that there are now three studios on the game (Bungie, Vicarious Visions, and High Moon).
Bungie is about 800+ people, Vicarious Visions is 200+ people (minus whoever is on Crash, but I can't imagine that's many), and High Moon is 100+ people.

"Papa Johns, will this be for delivery or carry-out?"
"123 Main St."
"Ok, then. Delivery it is. What would you like?"
"I'd like for my husband to stop beating me." (oh great, another prank call).
"Ma'am, you've reached Papa Johns."
"Yeah, I know. Can I have a husband who doesn't physically and emotionally abuse me?"
"Ummm…. I'm sorry, you know you've called Papa Johns right?"
"Yeah, do you know how long it will be?"
"Ok, Ma'am, is everything ok over there? Do you want a pizza or not?"
"Yes, I do."
"..And if you call 911 he'll just kill you when he gets out of jail but a drunk man will stop anything to eat a pizza?" (moment of realization)
"Yes, that's correct. Do you know how long it will be?"
"I have a delivery man about a mile from your location. Is there any parmesan cheese in your house?"
"Nope."
"We've got you covered. Thank you for calling Papa Johns."
"See you soon, thanks!"

Amazon files a patten for a floating drone base. A warehouse will be suspended by a blimp. Then drones will take off from the blimp to deliver your packages.That does not sound cost effective at all!
We need to do GOTY 2016 voting!Do it!
Also I think it'd be fun to do a 2015 recount type thing to see if people's opinions have changed.

@XevrossThe UK billion is a lie. I've never used it
When you read a billion online, do you think of the UK billion or do you assume it's our billion?
The UK billion is a lie. I've never used itAmerica gives back!
The UK billion is a lie. I've never used itOh I didn't realise it was phased out. That's lame.
Oh I didn't realise it was phased out. That's lame.Well it didn't make any sense so its not surprising. I wouldn't say its lame
Well it didn't make any sense so its not surprising. I wouldn't say its lameQuirks of foreign countries are fun imo. Everyone being standardized is lame.
Well it didn't make any sense so its not surprising. I wouldn't say its lameIt was based on millions.
Quirks of foreign countries are fun imo. Everyone being standardized is lame.While this is true, when talking numbers and currency this difference would cause lots of misunderstandings. Numbers should definitely be standardised. Words, though, definitely should stay different.
It was based on millions.Yeah I do prefer the triple system, its much nicer.
1,000,000^1= million
1,000,000^2= billion (bi=2)
1,000,000^3=trillion (tri=3)
Etc.
But I like:
1,000,000 million, then the next triple makes it bi, and the next triple makes it tri.

Parliament shooting: Woman dies in Westminster attack - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39355940)Was just reading about this on my lunch.
A car ran into a large group of pedestrians on westminster bridge and a police officer was then stabbed before the attacker was shot.
One of the pedestrians had died and others are severely injured.

Well, one of the best perks of shopping on amazon is now gone. All states that have a sales tax now requires amazon to collect it. For the first time ever i just paid sales tax on amazon.For me, Connecticut always collect sales tax from Amazon. Is sales tax collected from 3rd party sellers, too?

Well, one of the best perks of shopping on amazon is now gone. All states that have a sales tax now requires amazon to collect it. For the first time ever i just paid sales tax on amazon.I've been paying sales tax for pretty much over a year or so.
Theresa May triggered Article 50.So what happens now?
So what happens now?Within two years, the UK will become completely separated from the EU.
So what happens now?2 years of preparation and then we leave with or without a deal
Yeah the S8 looks fantastic.2 years of preparation and then we leave with or without a dealYeah. Technically it's pretty much a done deal. In practice, this will probably see a whole lot of politics behind the scenes trying to change the course. You probably could have counted on the US to intervene had Clinton been elected. With Trump, any such intervention will almost certainly not come from the executive branch. They're too busy smelling their own farts and convincing everyone it's amazing.
I don't like the curved edges on their screens. It's so yucky having to type or do stuff on them. Would much prefer if the infinity screen was 100% flat.

I don't like the curved edges on their screens. It's so yucky having to type or do stuff on them. Would much prefer if the infinity screen was 100% flat.Edge>no edge imo
Cool they removed the home button.
Edge>no edge imoI'd be fine with it if the keyboard and stuff didn't extend over the edge but my short time with the s7 edge just made me go for the regular one.
You get used to it and it looks a lot cooler
I'd be fine with it if the keyboard and stuff didn't extend over the edge but my short time with the s7 edge just made me go for the regular one.I don't remember the keyboard doing that on my s6 edge so maybe they changed it for S7. I definitely think it will be weird, but if it's in the s8 I'll just have to get used to it.

Does anyone have any experience with determining what text says in low resolution images?I could imagine it is possible to train a neural network to do this, but short of that I did find some of these.
A few years ago I knew about software that could do it. Basically it took the sample image and isolated each character. Then it referenced each character to other ones in the image searching for probably matches.
And now I know all this.
This election campaign is really bringing up how pro-choice the UK is on abortion. Its never really been a debate between politicians, and pro-life is often seen as wrong and offensive.Baby killers. /s
The lib dem leader Tim Farron appears to be pro life but says he thinks abortion should be available to women in law - because he knows its an extremely unpopular opinion. However, he has refused to deny that he thinks abortion is wrong and that is causing quite a big outrage.
Baby killers. /sYeah I think that's a good stance. Even if you're pro-life, why force everyone else to be the same? Pro-choice legally seems like a no brainer to me.
My position on it has changed slightly.
Im pro-life, but legally pro-choice.
I don't like abortion, but I think it's better than not having abortion.
Explosion at Manchester Arena just after an Ariana Grande concert, multiple deaths confirmed.Evil.
Manchester incident: Latest updates - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-manchester-40007967)

I can't believe this, who the fudge would attack a concert full of children and teenagers?

Manchester incident: Latest updates - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-manchester-40007967)
Reports that it might be a suicide bomber.
I can't believe this, who the fudge would attack a concert full of children and teenagers?
The first confirmed victim out of the 22 is Georgina Callander, I didn't know her personally but she was only a year below me in my sixth form college, I probably saw her around sometime. The second victim is Saffie Rose, an eight year old girl who went to a school in the same town as my college. This is heartbreaking.dang it. :'(
Not to make light of a tragedy, but I wish the bomber would have taken out Ariana Grande and no one else.Dude...
Dude...I'm not trying to be witty. She's a crustard.
That's not even witty.
I'm not trying to be witty. She's a crustard.Why? Because you don't like her music?
Why? Because you don't like her music?Oh yeah. That's totally it.
Oh yeah. That's totally it.So you think that's justification for her to die? Coolio.
No. It's because she got caught on camera in a bakery licking doughnuts she didn't pay for and left on the counter for other people to unknowingly buy while out of nowhere blurting out "I hate America. I hate Americans". Then when she got blasted for it, she put out a battleship apology video about how she was really speaking out against excessive consumerism. You know, the same kind that made her famous.
But no, yeah. It's totally just her music.
So you think that's justification for her to die? Coolio.No. I happened across a video about it on Youtube. And I'd rather she be the one to go than an 8 year old. That piece of shame gets to keep sucking air while fans of hers get killed? I hope that's not too hard for you to understand.
Like, who gives a shame? Are you 16 that you're socially obligated to keep up with what a random pop star does or doesn't do?
No. I happened across a video about it on Youtube. And I'd rather she be the one to go than an 8 year old. That piece of shame gets to keep sucking air while fans of hers get killed? I hope that's not too hard for you to understand.Sure I guess, but that's not what you said. You said "I wish the bomb would have only taken out Ariana Grande and noone else" instead of the normal thing to say "I wish the bomb wouldn't have taken out anyone".
Not to make light of a tragedy, but I wish the bomber would have taken out Ariana Grande and no one else.Black humor woke up early, eh?
Sure I guess, but that's not what you said. You said "I wish the bomb would have only taken out Ariana Grande and noone else" instead of the normal thing to say "I wish the bomb wouldn't have taken out anyone".Think of it as commentary on how unfair it is that an 8 year old got killed at a concert for someone who spat on a huge number of her own fans, after she basically spat on a doughnut and left it for someone else to buy. Piece of shame or a number of her fans? I'll go with piece of shame. To be clear, I don't actively wish death on her. I do wish to see her career crash and burn as karma for clearly not appreciating it. But if you ask me "who should die at an Ariana Grande concert if someone had to", I'd waste no time in choosing her. Not a child.
Its funny the small differences in speech. Personally I never say double 8 or whatever when saying numbers, I'd just say 88. You do hear it very often though.I think it's fascinating that just a couple hundred years of the populations being separate has yielded so many differences already. Minor as they may be. Though I would say it's pretty clear that other languages from the other European powers who influenced America long ago had a hand in it.
The rest of it is pretty accurate. When I was younger I and others very often counted with elephant as the gap between numbers ;D
And yeah coming to think of it, I've never heard of any house number greater than 1000 in the UK. You get used to odd and even house numbers being on different sides as well, although its only like this for streets which are through roads, so you can go in and out at either side. If you live on a road like I do, with lots of dead ends (cul-de-sacs) and only one way in or out the house numbers just go up in order.
I think it's fascinating that just a couple hundred years of the populations being separate has yielded so many differences already. Minor as they may be. Though I would say it's pretty clear that other languages from the other European powers who influenced America long ago had a hand in it.On that point though, we've both been heavily influenced by Europeans, just at different times. We can trace a lot of our language back to the Anglo-Saxons and then the Normans later on, with some influence from the Vikings and others as well. So at its roots our language is a mix of old Norwegian, French, German, Dutch etc.
Man, its going to get nasty today. Watch out Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas.Due to the weather? What's forecast?
Due to the weather? What's forecast?Baseball sized hail, and something about Armageddon.

I love thinking about how every country in Europe is so unique, often having their own language even.Psh, think we are all the same. Bet you don't know what a bubbler is. Or spotted cow.
Then in America our 50 states are practically identical by comparison. The interconnectedness of the world and lack of historical background really forced us into a giant melting pot. Once Mars and the like are colonised, we'll probably have whole planets that more or less have the same culture.
Baseball sized hail, and something about Armageddon.Oh wow that sounds pretty rough. Thank god its the weekend so people don't have to go to work
Really bad storms, tornadoes and hail. Baseball sized is probable 80 mph winds.

Lost among the day's news about the Paris climate change accord was this email that Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent out company wide the previous day. This email has been confirmed as real by multiple employees of Tesla.Id work for this guy.Quote(http://i.imgur.com/F8HjUa0.jpg)For the many people who are ignorant of this person on GAF, and we know that most of GAF is incredibly ignorant regarding him from the Elon Musk/Paris accords thread, I will offer only a brief explanation.
Musk is very well-known for being very hands-on as a manager. This goes back to his days at Paypal where he actually wrote a lot of platform code himself. He is also well-known for being very engaged at SpaceX and for basically learning advanced rocketry from books himself just so he could understand what his engineers were doing and engage with them to solve problems.
During the early troubled launch period of the Model X electric SUV, he became famous at Tesla for pitching a tent at the end of the assembly lines for it and sleeping on the factory floor overnight for several weeks so he could be there to inspect every car as it came off the line. I'm not making this story up.
Knowing a little about how Musk operates, I can really see him going down to the factory floor and working random line jobs there to verify if something there was reported as being dangerous or causing working injuries. He has long had a reputation for wanting employees at his companies to bring concerns directly to him bypassing intervening layers of management so this is not anything new to him.
The Reddit thread about this can be found here:https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors...conditions_he/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/6erjqi/elons_letter_about_factory_working_conditions_he/)
What the fudge... this is getting out of hand. Its nearly once a week we hear about something like this.Each time I'm getting more scared that it could happen to me. That's twice in London in three months, where I go to Uni, now. And where I live at home is close to Manchester. God I just want this to end
"More than one fatality"Yeah :(

I was camping over the weekend and man were the stars beautiful. Been a while since I've seen that clear of a sky.That means a dragon has been born!
Could fairly easily see the general hues of the milky way. Felt like being in a planetarium since everything was so bright. Only saw one shooting star though.
Oh on a similar note, I saw a meteor a few days ago from my back yard. It seemed to make it fairly close to the ground and was bright red.

Is there possibly a not one hour long summary?
Is there possibly a not one hour long summary?Anita is a piece of shame. She verbally attacked people in the front row of Vidcon who said nothing the entire time but knew of them from their own videos. She called them shame heads and human garbage. Which, by the way, was a violation of the rules. To her, their very presence was enough for her to consider it harassment. Though instead of being chastised for that she was apologized to by one of the heads of the convention for something else. You see, when people asked her tough but fair questions during a Q&A she immediately became dismissive of them and even asked that one of them be removed from the line. Yes, she was apologized to because people asked her fair questions that she didn't like and wanted them removed and censored. Then when Boogie, who was nervous about the panel because he was afraid of upsetting her, made his final speech at the end talking about unity and treating the issue as a human problem instead of dividing people and making it about specific groups, she confronted him right around the corner and told him that, "It was fudgy uncool, what you said". She didn't like his message nor did she like the fact that between his statement and others, she herself didn't get a chance to say much. In other words, "fudge you. You stole my spotlight and your message doesn't help me make this about specific groups instead of unity".

There's also this video:According to Rags in the video I posted, she even admitted that she's not really doing this for gaming. She's doing it for social justice, period. For her, it's not about making the gaming industry better. It's about pushing a third-wave feminist world view. She's only in this for the notoriety and money she gets from it. She has openly admitted that she believes certain people and even entire development groups should be black listed from events for, basically, having views that stand contrary to her.
At the UN in 2015: "Harassment is not just what is legal and illegal, right? Harassment is threats of violence, but it's also the day to day grind of 'You're a liar', 'You suck'..."
At Vidcon 2016: "We can't define online harassment based on what is legal currently. Cause the problem is that you make a video on YouTube, and it's not harassment, it's just, this is my opinion about how this baby is horrible, you know? And how her ideas are bad."

She can't even answer a fudgy "Yes or no" question about her past tweets. There was also an interview she had with CBC where she instantly dismisses her critics as harassers:
And it's not surprising considering her behavior at Vidcon 2017. She can't even answer a fudgy "Yes or no" question about her past tweets. There was also an interview she had with CBC where she instantly dismisses her critics as harassers:Interesting, isn't it? That if you criticize her then you're automatically committing harassment against her. Because instead of attempting to defend her points, which she knows is next to impossible when going up against someone with half a brain, she decides that the best course of action is to make you look like a villain. Because if she can do that then she can justify not engaging you in any way beyond name calling. Meanwhile, she herself bullies people. Like Boogie and the guys in the front row she didn't like. Engaging in the same kind of behavior she supposedly condemns. The truly sad part is that there are people like Hank Green who allowed her to violate the rules of the convention and shame talk (aka harass) people who paid to be there and did nothing but simply be present at the panel. A panel.... about harassment, among other things. These white knight, beta male losers who enable her to get away with the stunts she pulls.

Lol Reviewers think Splatoon 2 should be an expansion but after seeing tournament gameplay and all that the pace is faster and the weapon balancing is completely different(250+ hours of Splatoon btw). Expansion my dogThey've played it, you haven't (at least not the full game), so if a lot of them feel that the game doesn't deviate enough from the first game to feel like a full sequel then they are probably in a better position to judge that than you are. Also it's not unheard of at all that the pace and balancing of a game changes over the course of its life, I've experienced it even in the few MP games that I've played, so that's certainly not a point that means this is deserving of being called Splatoon 2.

Got my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday.I take it you just got them pulled and not cut out? Getting them cut out is infinitely worse than just getting a tooth pulled. Pain was pretty substantial after I got my 4 cut out.
I'm doing great. Very little pain and barely using pain killers. Just a little sore. Probably overdid it yesterday and extended the bleeding.

Why the heck would you have them cut?Because they were sideways/impacted so they would never come in and would have eventually cause me more problems down the road if I didn't have them cut out.

Sometimes people complain about a story and it's really confusing to me why certain aspects are issues to them. Like especially plot holes. Sometimes people complaining that everything is answer for them and other times they complain there's something that was left unanswered. And sometimes the answer seems really obvious to me and I don't feel it needs to be answered.Plot holes really annoy me in serious stories. They basically feel like the writer was lazy and didn't care about the overall story itself. They want a scene or event to happen so they make that scene or event happen regardless of how their universe/characters are set up.
Plot holes really annoy me in serious stories. They basically feel like the writer was lazy and didn't care about the overall story itself.

They often coincide with the story leaving out information but for me they're separate things.
But do you ever disagree with what's a plot hole?Sure I sometimes disagree but it's still the movie/story's fault for not showing it better.
Like someone is complaining that X was never explained, even though you felt it was clearly explained?
Or they are complaining about something that might not even make sense to add?
Something like that.

this morning:Edit, now that I've recovered...
1) Russian collusion has not proven to be a "total hoax" -- rather, it has already resulted in two guilty pleas, two flipped witnesses, and two indictments. With more to come a near certainty.
2) "Fake News" yawn
3) Reagan did suffer from Alzheimer's
4) "being, like, really smart" -- like OMG, totally to the max!
5) "VERY successful businessman" -- successful at going bankrupt, stiffing contractors, dubious finances with Russia because legitimate banks will no longer work with you, and refusing to release your taxes to substantiate your success.
6) T.V. Star -- Reality. fudgy. Television.
7) "I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!" -- because that's exactly the sort of thing a smart person says.
BONUS: "President of the United States (on my first try)" -- except for the fact that he ran a presidential campaign in 2000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2000)

What makes you say this?Well it might be different in the UK, especially since you are at a big university.
Well it might be different in the UK, especially since you are at a big university.Oh, that is kinda weird. There's probably way more than 10x more possible teachers than subjects at my Uni. They usually know the course they're teaching like the back of their hand, but that doesn't mean they're good at teaching it.
But here, we are a pretty small university, with more subjects than teachers. For like Computer Science, some of the teachers specialize in a thing or two. Some classes don't have a teacher with that specific specialization.
I've had several professors make comments like "I understand most of this, but not quite everything." Its just a little bit outside their specialization. Even some more staunch teachers.
Well, the networks book has lots of comments about being challenging and that there's 1000's of PhD's worth of challenges in the field. So even a specialist wouldn't know anything.
It's just a little different from what I've seen in high school and under.

The bill proposes a six-year prison term for anyone found guilty of "removing sexual organs in whole or in part".

Describing circumcision (http://www.independent.co.uk/topic/circumcision)as a "violation" of young boys' rights, the bill (http://www.althingi.is/altext/148/s/0183.html) states the only time it should be considered is for "health reasons".

According to the same study, around half of circumcisions are carried out for religious or cultural reasons. While the importance of male circumcision in Islam is disputed - some Muslim (http://www.independent.co.uk/topic/Islam) groups say it is obligatory, others only recommend it - it remains a major and celebrated rite wherever Islam is practised. For Jews (http://www.independent.co.uk/topic/Judaism), circumcision carries profound religious significance and most baby boys born into Jewish families are circumcised within a week of birth.Click to expand...QuoteProgressive Party MP Silja Dögg Gunnarsdóttir is the driving force behind the legislation. "I didn't think it was necessary to consult," she told The Independent. "I don't see it as a religious matter." "Jews are welcome in Iceland. But this is about child protection and children's rights.

What have I found here
Why?On the one hand, it's pretty terrible to think about.
On the one hand, it's pretty terrible to think about.Was it for religious or medical reasons?
On the other hand, I'm circumcized and I couldn't care less that it happened.
Was it for religious or medical reasons?In the US it seems like they do it for no reason at all but tradition or something
Was it for religious or medical reasons?In the US, circumcision is basically the norm. A lot of people that are not religious get it done.
Neonatal circumcision has been the most common surgery in America for over a century. Nearly six out of ten newborns are released from hospitals foreskin-free.

Most Americans assume the practice is medically useful, like a vaccination.

Yeah I think I will wait and see what comes with the rumored galaxy X foldable phone. S9 doesn't look like a big enough upgrade for me to switch to it after my S8.Yeah the S8 is so good that I'm happy keeing it for a while until there's something new and big like maybe the foldable phone.

I've been making my own bread for the past few months, and I have to say store bought bread is garbage.Welcome to a world with no preservatives. To be honest, I toyed with the idea of making my own bread after I move out... if I ever move out.
And home made bread is one of the most delicious things out there.
Yeah he's the CEO of Amazon. They recently started making a lot of profit so the stock price has been soring.Why only recently?
Why only recently?I believe they had a huge amount of income but they also had to spend a ton on operating costs. Lots of this was R&D and so it didn't necessarily scale with the company's size, so as they got bigger they made bank.

Interestingly, the report also found a very strong correlation between happiness of immigrants and happiness of local-born people. Who knew that treating immigrants well and making sure they're happy will also make you happy? :o

My house loses power multiple times a year. This time it was gone for 13 hours.But why?
But why?Cause it snows.
Cause it snows.It snows here too, but we don't usually lose power.
It snows here too, but we don't usually lose power.Lots of time it's from late snows that snap tree branches. Mostly it's because our power sucks. Like a decade ago from a big storm we went almost a week without power.
*laughs in Icelandic*Colorado is in a drought so doesn't snow as much as we'd like, but up in the mountains it's probably pretty similar to iceland. Just a lot colder.
Lots of time it's from late snows that snap tree branches. Mostly it's because our power sucks. Like a decade ago from a big storm we went almost a week without power.You're not in the mountains though, are you? ::)

You're not in the mountains though, are you? ::)It's Colorado: everyone lives on the edge of them.
The eastern third isn't too mountainous, but the rest of the state has some pretty serious elevation.All the big cities form a line along the foothills. Very few people live in the eastern third, which is as flat as Kansas.
My state is pretty flat.

There's a Reddit thread about what's the worst state. Most of the top comments say Mississippi. Lol.Why is that worst?
My state came up, only to say it didn't have to worry about being brought up in the thread. :D
Why is that worst?"The state is worst in education.
"The state is worst in education.How much of that is true?
It is the poorest.
It is the fattest.
It has the worst life expectancy.
It has the worst infant mortality.
It has terrible weather all year.
It's um-not-technology-or-art-oriented. Mississippi's neighbor, Alabama, at least has Huntsville full of rocket scientists and Muscle Shoals full of musicians."
How much of that is true?Just checked them all.
How much of that is true?As Pi says it's basically true, but I don't think it has a stigma as a bad place to live. Mostly just a place people love to mock online.
So Tesla is in trouble.I wouldn't say they're in trouble, but they could be in trouble. I think the quarterly results will push them one way or another.

Elon's April fool's was bad timing.
A large recall last month
And a lawsuit.
I wouldn't say they're in trouble, but they could be in trouble. I think the quarterly results will push them one way or another.What was the April fool's joke?
Also the april fool's joke was kinda stupid but it's only kinda funny because of the timing. Wouldn't work as a joke under different circumstances.

Tesla Goes Bankrupt
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 1, 2018
Palo Alto, California, April 1, 2018 -- Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it.
Elon was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by "Teslaquilla" bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.

I wouldn't say they're in trouble, but they could be in trouble. I think the quarterly results will push them one way or another.It doesn't seem like they are doing very well, though.

.. Or a bath. Personally, the longest I've gone was 24 hours, during a road trip. I felt like the filthiest creature on earth by the end of it, and the shower at the end of it was one of my top 3 experience of my life. I actually avoided interacting with people at rest shops, and tried to keep a distance of a few feet between me and other people when forced to. I was more concerned about them than myself. I usually shower twice a day. What's your record?Why do I find OP extremely unbelievable lol? No way the longest he's gone is 24 hours. Why shower twice a day though?

Lol what the fudge?Similar here lol. Although I do sometimes sweat a bit due to feeling hot a lot. I shower usually once a day but when I'm having a lazy day and not going out at all I tend to skip it.
In the last week I've gone 48 hours without a shower, when I was staying with a friend and couldn't be bothered showering til I got back home.
I'm reading some comments like feeling hell after not showering for 12 hours? What does that even mean? I never feel dirty or anything, just a bit sweat occasionally. But if I don't get sweaty then I don't really feel the need to shower. I usually only do it to wash my hair so I can style it after...
edt: I went a week without showing when I was sailing the Florida keys. Was in the water a lot though.I've gone a week +-2 days or so before when studying for big tests back in the day lulz
Similar here lol. Although I do sometimes sweat a bit due to feeling hot a lot. I shower usually once a day but when I'm having a lazy day and not going out at all I tend to skip it.Yeah I'm exactly the same. Sometimes if I wake up before uni in the morning and I'm feeling really tired I just won't bother showering. I skip days quite often, but only if I haven't gotten sweaty :P
Yeah I'm exactly the same. Sometimes if I wake up before uni in the morning and I'm feeling really tired I just won't bother showering. I skip days quite often, but only if I haven't gotten sweaty :PYou're me!
That being said, I do make sure to shower at least every other day, just because of hair and general cleanliness.
I shower every morning. I sweat over night and feel gross in the morning.I don't sweat overnight unless I'm ill or really hot :P
Only exception in the past few years was when the water was out. That was terrible.
Those guys talking about 12 hours though, must have some kind of sweat gland issue. Idk.
I also shampoo and conditioner every day. Even though that's not really good for hair.
I don't sweat overnight unless I'm ill or really hot :PSomething about blankets.
Sometimes my hair will basically stand up on its own after sleeping. Kind of like this, sometimes more extreme.Yeah that's why I shower in the morning lol

Would fit right in with their other titlesA nice prequel to the original.
Holy shame, Roma. They did it :o :oHahaha I loved that. Barcelona did a PSG
Hahaha I loved that. Barcelona did a PSGYeah they did. Liverpool completely minced City as well. Its going to be a very interesting last 4.
Facebook self-censorship: What happens to the posts you don't publish? (http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/12/facebook_self_censorship_what_happens_to_the_posts_you_don_t_publish.html)I don't think I've ever done that.
....
I don't think I've ever done that.Maybe not on facebook, but I see tons of half written posts you never submitted here.
Yeah they did. Liverpool completely minced City as well. Its going to be a very interesting last 4.I love Pep's meltdown. 3 losses in a row and one more on the way hopefully.
Maybe not on facebook, but I see tons of half written posts you never submitted here.Never mind.
Wait I'm not supposed to admit I track that...
I love Pep's meltdown. 3 losses in a row and one more on the way hopefully.Its amazing. Finally they're being put down a bit, it was making the PL look bad. Hopefully Spurs can beat them as well.
Never mind.Glad you changed your mind. Your original post was uncalled for!
I came home and found two dogs in my backyard. :PWere they good boys?Spoiler for Hidden:
Were they good boys?Yes, they were dogs.
Yes, they were dogs.Correct answer
Yes, they were dogs.And not cats
Person: "So Matt, what's the first thing you did when you turned 20"I thought it was tomorrow. Happy birthday!!!
Me: "Oh you know, I made an accurate linear representation of a guassian model of video game review scores which are 94 and above on metacritic"
Person: "...........uhuh....."
I thought it was tomorrow. Happy birthday!!!Thanks! I can't believe I'm not a teenager any more :o
I thought it was tomorrow. Happy birthday!!!British time .

Global Rich List (http://www.globalrichlist.com/)I remember seeing this a few years ago. It really helps put stuff into perspective
I remember seeing this a few years ago. It really helps put stuff into perspectiveYeah it's a good reminder just how relative everything is.
Wow, my student loan alone puts me in the top 9%. If I include all the money I get (so basically adding money I get from my dad + a bursary) I'm in the top 2%.Do loans count though lol?
I'm in the top 1/50th of the income of the world as a student. That's crazy.
Do loans count though lol?Well no but I was just saying this is how much I'm living on.
So im in the top .10% adding my benifits like the site asked.No idea how to calculate everything so I basically just put my wages in
No idea how to calculate everything so I basically just put my wages inIt asked to add income and benefits. So lile health care and such. If yours are provided by the government then id see if you can find out what it cost per person there. I also added my employer paid 401k.
Wait, you mean income or wealth?
Income taxes? I owe 450ish :(That's what you get for making money!
That's what you get for making money!It's from my part time job, I make so little money it doesn't get taxed from the company.
Who wants to make a sports thread?I can probably do it tomorrow
Weird thing.Haven't really seen many I'd call small
I really really really don't like small toilets. I don't understand how people use them.
I'm so used to elongated toilets.
With the small toilets, I either feel like I'm pooping on the seat or my junk is touching the bowl.
Weird thing.I can't think of any toilets I've used of different sizes, so I'll assume I'm using regular sized toilets :o

It's actually round vs elongated

No Eurovision fans here lol?Oh hi there. I'm looking forward to all the sympathy votes. SuRie held it like a champ.
@Xevross
Oh hi there. I'm looking forward to all the sympathy votes. SuRie held it like a champ.Sweden, Israel, Bulgaria, Czech top 4!
Moldova and Israel are my faves, so Eurovision. Finland/ Sweden probs my favourite proper songs.
Austriaaaa and Sweden!Yeah Sweden getting only 21 was a big shock. I'm happy with our audience score but not with the Jury, oh well. Denmark was robbed by the jury, they were one of my favourites.
Wtf Sweden
Just 21 pts from the public?
While Denmark got something like 150 lol
Yeah Sweden getting only 21 was a big shock. I'm happy with our audience score but not with the Jury, oh well. Denmark was robbed by the jury, they were one of my favourites.I've no idea what people liked about Denmark. We gave them 12 (the audience), while we gave Sweden only 2 pts
Israel winning I'm happy with, good to have a proper Eurovision song win for once.
I've no idea what people liked about Denmark. We gave them 12 (the audience), while we gave Sweden only 2 ptsIts a great Eurovision-ish song. Sweden is just a decent song. You're people have much better taste than ours, for some reason we gave Lithuania 12 points ?!??? That's incredibly shocking, I don't know anyone that even liked it that much. Maybe I live in a bubble.

That's incredibly shocking, I don't know anyone that even liked it that much. Maybe I live in a bubble.Did they change the voting this year?
Its weird though, normally we like Ireland, Eurovisiony songs and good pop songs. UK audience vote was:
12 - Lithuania - doesn't fit at all. I don't understand.
10 - Ireland - this is Ireland. Also added bonus of the gay dancers this year, with a big majority of our voters being gay men.
8 - Cyprus - great pop song, makes sense
7 - Israel - really Eurovisiony, and just awesome all round, makes sense
6 - Bulgaria - one of my favourite singles although I don't think its that great live, still makes sense
5 - Czech Republic - good pop song, was always going to be popular in the UK
4 - Moldova - should be higher, this is Eurovision in a nutshell. I loved it.
3 - Germany - we love Ed Sheeran so discount Ed Sheeran is good too
2 - Denmark - awesome song and we like Danish stuff
1 - Australia - good pop song, and hello fellow English speakers <3
Anyway, two biggest shocks in the result for me were Finland being so low and Italy being so high.
Plus how awesome is the new voting system, it was super tense and exciting right until the end even though Israel won by 100 points. In the old system it would have been obvious Israel were winning and it would have been nowhere near as fun.
Did they change the voting this year?No but its still new. And this was the best its performed, it was suspenseful until the second to last call, that's almost as good as it gets.
Thought it was the same last year
If you look up the definition of torture in the dictionary you'll find it says Solid State Physics.It's okay. That's what happened to me with QM.
I can't fudgy stand this topic. I think I'm just going to give up on it and do the bare minimum to get an okay score. The exam is only worth 7% of the year, its the lowest out of all the 6 exams I have to revise for (which is a god-send, if it was worth the most I'd probably off myself).
It's okay. That's what happened to me with QM.Yeah, I'm going to be relying more on QM now though :P
Well kind of, I still did pretty good.
When did we out law abortion?Well the US hasn't, but there's been some laws passed to make it harder. (I think mostly at the state level)
When did we out law abortion?Nobody said you did. You've just been going very backwards in the area recently, with lots of added restrictions and reduced access.
Ireland has voted yes in their referendum on abortion, finally legalising it. Fantastic news. Its good to see Western countries still progressing while America travels backwards at 100mph on issues like this.Took them long enough
Nobody said you did. You've just been going very backwards in the area recently, with lots of added restrictions and reduced access.I'm not sure why you act like this is a purely American thing. It's a hot debate around the world. More so anywhere that religion is popular.
The fact its still a debate means you have a long way to go.
I'm not sure why you act like this is a purely American thing. It's a hot debate around the world. More so anywhere that religion is popular.Not in the well developed western world though.
My feet are killing me.Don't give knives to feet.
Now I'm light headed.Blood loss in your feet will do that.
Blood loss in your feet will do that.Cause I'm falling apart.
But why?
Cause I'm falling apart.Huh
HuhI'm outside too much in 90 degree temp and walking 10 miles a day.
Not strictly a plot hole, but I'd probably choose the two Mongol invasions of Japan that were stopped both times by typhoons. Can't think of a more Deus Ex Machina moment than that. And to top it off, it happened twice.
Tycho Brahe's life. It's like a child wrote it. He lost part of his nose in a duel about a mathematical formula, and wore a brass nose around for the rest of his life. He hired a dwarf named Jepp to be his assistant/pet because he thought Jepp was a psychic. Jepp lived under the dining room table. He had a pet moose that got too drunk at one of his 16th century ragers and died from falling down stairs. Tycho died of a ruptured bladder from holding his pee for too long. Rumor is he didn't want to be rude and get up from the table during a dinner with the king of Hungary to pee. And after all that Johannes Kepler got credit for his work in astrophysics.
I'm not sure what or who to believe in this Chris Hardwick abuse allegations. I've always liked the guy and he always seems genuine so if she really is telling the true he is a piece of shame. But now with the text messages coming out it tears down some reliability of her accusations.Its frustrating that people are getting fired before there's any proof. It seems these things are legit most of the time. But it's at the point now anyone can cry wolf and it will be believed before any facts come out.
And his wife is standing by him and not saying he is doing anything like the accusations to her so who knows.
His career is likely ruined either way which is sad if he is innocent.
Its frustrating that people are getting fired before there's any proof. It seems these things are legit most of the time. But it's at the point now anyone can cry wolf and it will be believed before any facts come out.Yeah I could understand firing someone if 2, 3 or more people started coming out and saying the same things that he did. But 1 person should not be enough until proven true for firing someone. Based on the text messages that came out she was begging to get back with him after she supposedly cheated and broke off the relationship. And she claims she has proof but I haven't seen anything released yet. So far I'm calling battleship on her claims cause the texts contradict stuff in her blog post.
I'm back!You missed nothing, tbh. :-\
What did I miss?
Time to go through and watch all the E3 stuff outside the conferences.
You missed nothing, tbh. :-\Half a world cup
You missed nothing, tbh. :-\Well that's ok as long as people are still happy and enjoying life.
Half a world cupWell I wouldn't have cared either way :P
Well that's ok as long as people are still happy and enjoying life.Too bad USA couldn't join!
Well I wouldn't have cared either way :P
Too bad USA couldn't join!Sports are bad!
Sports are bad!Trump is bad! Bad!
My pet rabbit has a broken arm wrapped in a splint. I've never seen something so simultaneously sad and adorable.:'( ;D :'( ;D
Worst June ever for me and most capital people. 70 sun hours in total all month ffs lol. Least in 100 years. Also highest temp was just 13 degrees celsius and average temp far below the average in JuneWow that's awful. Why was it so bad? Just unlucky with cloud cover?
Meanwhile, the rest of Europe is bathing in the sun. Even other Nordic countries are having amazing summers. Even if you go to the east or north of Iceland it's been a great June. It's just the capital area in Iceland
This would be acceptable if the weather for the rest of the year wasn't always terrible and we have like 2-3 months at best where we can potentially get some good weather
Wow that's awful. Why was it so bad? Just unlucky with cloud cover?Eh multiple factors I guess. Mostly the gulf stream. On the bright side, there's always next summer!
Meanwhile I can't remember a sunnier or hotter June in the UK. I've been absolutely boiled, high 20s/ low 30s every day for a few weeks is not something I'm used to. Still, not hot enough or long enough to warrant any AC. Maybe should have bought myself a fan though ;D
I wish we were having more clouds here. My grass is so brown.At least you have grass.
At least you have grass.Do you have rocks/some nice thing or is it just dirt and concrete?
Do you have rocks/some nice thing or is it just dirt and concrete?He has sand! ;)
Or just no yard to begin with?
Yeah we are probably borderline drought here. We don't get hardly any nice all day soaking rains and it's usually heavy downpours so it all runs off and doesn't help water anything. Not the worst or hottest summer we have had here, but we have had better.We've been borderline drought before but its not usually because of hot weather, just a weird lack of rain. I think its been raining enough in the hills for us to avoid a drought. Maybe we'll get there, but normally we'd have had a hosepipe ban by now.
He has sand! ;)We have been having these close to drought or full on drought more and more frequently. There actually is a line of rain heading for us right now, but it will either die out or will be heavy downpour for 30 minutes and thats it. So it will run off most peoples yards into ditches and then run to certain areas that always have standing water. And then have our poorly executed midwest super humid hot weather. Heat indexes up into the 110's or higher. Not as bad as some people have it but it still sucks.

Happy bad choices day to my 'Murican friends ;)Well maybe you guys shouldn't have taxed the tea so much!
Well maybe you guys shouldn't have taxed the tea so much!Hey, our King needed that money for his big parties and feasts! ;D
Nah the real problem is that we weren't allowed to representated in government.That's not how colonies work!
Should have given us a seat or two in parliament.
Its 37c here. I'd take you 30c all day everyday and be super happy about it.You probably have air conditioning though right?
Its 37c here. I'd take you 30c all day everyday and be super happy about it.We had our 37c weather for a weekend. Not a fan.
That's not how colonies work!Yeah, well we don't wanna be colonies anymore. On this day, July 4th, we declare our independence!
I actually know about 100x more about American independence and early American history than I did this time last year. Listening to Hamilton made me look it up and read about it to learn what actually happened. It is very interesting.
Yeah, well we don't wanna be colonies anymore. On this day, July 4th, we declare our independence!Why do you guys more commonly call it "fourth of july" rather than "independence day"? Seems weird to me.
So you went from knowing nothing to knowing a few things! Good man. ;)
That's not how colonies work!Yep, and my electric bill will be close to 250 this month and next.

Seems weird to me.And yet it seemed weird to me, that independence day would override July fouth. :D
Yep, and my electric bill will be close to 250 this month and next.Ouch. Point taken.
We call it 4th of July so that way we don't forget the dateLol, but do you call any other important dates by their dates instead of names? Just seems weird that its this one only.
Its 37c here. I'd take you 30c all day everyday and be super happy about it.Me too
We had a high of 27C today. Perfect temperature.It's 28C now.
It's 8° here. You're welcome to switch!As long as that's C, I'll switch.
As long as that's C, I'll switch.Lol. I like 14-16 more. And yes it's celsius of course
If it's F, I'm good.
But 8C is like the perfect temp.
As long as that's C, I'll switch.Whaaaaaaaaaat? 8C is way too cold. Low - mid 20s (around 80F) is the perfect temp for me.

Whaaaaaaaaaat? 8C is way too cold. Low - mid 20s (around 80F) is the perfect temp for me.50-70F is perfect.
50-70F is perfect.England is pretty humid in my experience
80F is awful.
But we have different humidity here.
This kinda seems like a red flag, but I really like the taste of NyQuil.I wonder if it's some chemical thing like that type of paper. Some think it tastes like paper while others find it disgusting based off their genes.

Me: yeah we are going like 110 kphYeah we've changed to metric for most things but still use mph, not sure why :P
Xev: I thought you guys used mph?
Me: we do, I converted for you.
Xev: well I had to convert it back!
Lol.
TIL: UK uses mph.
Yeah we've changed to metric for most things but still use mph, not sure why :PBecause mph is clearly better.
Yeah we've changed to metric for most things but still use mph, not sure why :PMiles suck!
Because mph is clearly better.Lol
0 to 60 vs 0 to 100. Metric always makes more senseWhy is 60 mph/100kph the standard here?
Miles suck!To me 100 seems like your going fast. You must like going fast with out the risk.
Lol
0 to 60 vs 0 to 100. Metric always makes more sense
Miles suck!I've never understood the obsession with units of 10. When doing math, metric is the superior system no questions asked.
Lol
0 to 60 vs 0 to 100. Metric always makes more sense
I've never understood the obsession with units of 10. When doing math, metric is the superior system no questions asked.Yeah.
But for day to day stuff, 100 is just as random as 60. It's just a number on a sign that you have to compare with numbers on your speedometer.
60mph is the standard speed limit in the UK, called the national speed limit, on any roads without a speed limit marked. Motorways and dual carriageways are 70, but you can drive low 80s without being actually caught for speeding on motorways. My Dad always cruise controls at 83.I believe 60mph is what I have always heard is the speed limit for no speed limit signs here. That's mostly just back roads anyway so no one really cares. The interstate I always drove to school was 70 with the rate of traffic being usually around 80 so I would usually drive that or 85. I get up to 90 or so in stretches where our side of the road is split from the other side by a little forest between us.
So 60 is a standard number here I guess.
I recently drove to Florida and it was odd having 70 mph be the max for most of the trip. From Kansas to California it's normally 75 mph max.I wish some of our roads would be upped to 75. Everyone mostly goes 80 already.
To me 100 seems like your going fast. You must like going fast with out the risk.Obviously. Bigger numbers are better!
Lol, unreal.
Holy shame

Speaking of maps, look up Disneyland Paris on maps and marvel at the perfect circle of road around it. I fudgy love it, best thing the French have ever made that is.Better than the statue of liberty?
Better than the statue of liberty?Lol that's a fake statue made my dem liberals to try and start a war with the French!

Anyone buying anything on amazon on prime day??I've got nothing I've been wanting to buy, so no. Prime day can be deceptive if you haven't previously researched prices.
I've got nothing I've been wanting to buy, so no. Prime day can be deceptive if you haven't previously researched prices.Wanted to buy a microsd card but apparently they don't ship that to Iceland :-\
Anyone buying anything on amazon on prime day??Nah I want a laptop, but the sales are mostly on overpriced stuff. I've seen similar prices elsewhere
Nah I want a laptop, but the sales are mostly on overpriced stuff. I've seen similar prices elsewhereA lot of items seem to have their prices raised, so the 'discount' doesn't make them much less than normal. And the majority of items sold on prime day are available for cheaper at other parts in the year.
Unless they had video games really cheap, I don't need anything.Well the UK has an Xbox1 S
I really really want a tesla model 3. And now that orders are open to everyone it's making not having money right now even worse. I've had a chevy cruze for 6 years. i'm ready for something new. Hoping when the standard battery is available to buy it will cheapen it up enough. The dual motor with all the extras is like 59,000 before the $7500 tax rebate thingy. Hoping the standard battery pulls it under 50k. If some of my work starts up i'm gonna try and save up for a big down payment on it.Is the current model 3 expected to get full autopilot.
I'm also hoping if I get the standard batter that I can upgrade to the better mileage or dual motors later on. Not having to ever get gas again and then being able to do autopilot.
Is the current model 3 expected to get full autopilot.yeah it has the basic autopilot and then has the upgrade for full self driving capability once it releases. You can either add that as an option at the time of buying or upgrade to full self driving after. But it's like double the price to add it after you get the car.
Outside of being broke, my problem right now with buying a new car is that it seems the really really cool features are still a few years out.
Buying a new carBuying a new car.
Keeping the old one too. Zomg my wallet

I've given up on tesla for now. Will maybe buy down the line but for now it's a cheaper family carYeah I gave up at one point and was going to get a dodge challenger. But looking at the model 3 again it's definitely the car I want. I figure I might as well try to get one soon before I possibly have any sort of family.

Isn't this just an extension of the Monty Hall problem?
My first thought:Its different to Monty Hall but not by much. You can apply the same kind of logic to solve both.
Only People With an IQ of 115 or Higher Can Get This Right | ResetEra (https://www.resetera.com/threads/only-people-with-an-iq-of-115-or-higher-can-get-this-right.56803/#post-10618607)
This one feels less honest than the monty hall problem.An interesting difference between the two is that in this case, the choice has already been made.
The problem itself tells you you picked a yellow ball so you jump into thinking it's a box vs box question, ignoring that initial part.
Meanwhile monty hall can work in real life.
This one feels less honest than the monty hall problem.Its still a given scenario and a problem for you to think about, sure it leads you a little bit but that's just in the nature of the question and is more a fault of the human mind. Regardless, it shouldn't take too long for you to work out 2/3 or be convinced of it.

Its the one with three doors and a car behind one of themI don't think I've heard about it. Is it something you're taught in school? Maybe I know of it in a different form
I don't think I've heard about it. Is it something you're taught in school? Maybe I know of it in a different formIt was from a game show.
It was from a game show.Ah then I've seen it before!
One door has a good thing behind it, the other 2 have a bad thing behind them. The player picks a door and then the host shows one of the other doors has a bad thing behind it. Then the player can stick with the door they selected or switch to the other unopened door.
Ah then I've seen it before!As you should!
I would switch
Anyone else's chrome updated so that if you put the cursor right to the edge it goes off the scroll bar and changes to the re-size icon? Its pissing me off, I just to just shove my mouse to the edge and click to scroll but now I can't do that.Not for me in full screen.
What is this?
Really sad watching all this unfold. What's even sadder is that it seems not many are aware of the symptoms of mania.
Not for me in full screen.You don't know fousey?

We might be getting some rain this weekend! Hurrah!Give us your sun
Give us your sunOh gladly, you can have it for a week and it can rain non-stop here and refill our reservoirs.
4 sunny days since late April now
Oh gladly, you can have it for a week and it can rain non-stop here and refill our reservoirs.Lol. Where's the perfect balance Thanos promised?
Jesus, I feel like we've only had 4 non-sunny days.
We might be getting some rain this weekend! Hurrah!A couple days ago we got rain and hail. Flooded some places and destroyed a lot of things.
Apparently it's going to be up to 25 degrees celsius this Sunday for a few hours. Wow.It reached like 24 degrees but little sun and it started raining at like 4pm. Not very exciting but the heat was really strange and unusual
Can you access the recovery screen? Hold down F8 or something similar when trying to turn it on.I've tried everything like that, one time it caused it to stay on and do nothing and no matter what I did it wouldn't turn off.
I'm having laptop problems. It overheated and shut down (which isn't uncommon when I'm playing a game, it's a shaming cooling system) but now won't switch back on. I press the power button once and then it plays a short beep and shuts down without the screen coming on.I sent this to the proper people, will get back with an answer (hopefully).
I tried removing the battery and holding the power down for a minute like suggested online but that didn't do anything. Apparently it could be a RAM issue, I remove one of the RAM sticks and instead of beeping it stays on for a bit longer and then shuts down. No idea what's wrong with it but I don't want to have to pay someone to check.
Any of you guys know what's wrong?
I sent this to the proper people, will get back with an answer (hopefully).Who are the proper people? :o
Who are the proper people? :oMy brother in law.
Complex logs are complex.Complex analysis was a fun class.
Complex analysis was a fun class.Yeah the infinite solutions is something I figured out myself when I ended up with -2=2! :P
There is also a difference between log(z) and Log(z).
One is a subset of the other, and the other has an infinite set of solutions and the latter has only 1 .

So who else plays Magic: The Gathering? Bunch of my friends went to a game shop in vancouver to buy some more cards and ended up buying a starter deck from the core 2019 sets. It's super fun. Told myself I would never get into it cause it can be a money pit, but I think I still start working on a few decks that are pretty good without spending too much.Neverdies could probably get into it.
So Henry Cavill has been cast as Geralt in the Netflix adaptation. Not sure how I feel about this. I like him as an actor, but as geralt I'm not sure.Could be good. Geralt doesn't say that much, similar to superman
So Henry Cavill has been cast as Geralt in the Netflix adaptation. Not sure how I feel about this. I like him as an actor, but as geralt I'm not sure.I think he'd be great, he really wanted it so I bet he'll be enthusiastic about the role.
I think he'd be great, he really wanted it so I bet he'll be enthusiastic about the role.Yeah the more I see him in some of his other roles he's done I think he can nail it. I just hope the show is actually good.
I think he'd be great, he really wanted it so I bet he'll be enthusiastic about the role.Agreed.
Agreed.Doubt it, since it's based on the books 8)
Wonder what he'll sound like though. Will he try to mimic the voice? That could end up sounding really bad...
Also I fixed the forum clock.
Doubt it, since it's based on the books 8)Well they might say it's based off the books, but they'd be crazy to not try to please fans of the games.

Correct.Ok I understand.

Over 100k people on youtube watching this livestream from the frying pan as it gets battered by Florence. The flag has been named Kevin and people are cheering him on.
Hulu is amazing.shame I just looked at mine and my $6 deal is extended to Dec 2019. That's dope. I was gonna cancel in Dec once my deal expired, but I'll just keep it now.
I think I had it for a while, and ended up ending my subscription.
Then got an offer for $6 a month, for a year. So why not?
Just got an email, that they are extending the offer another year. ;D
I'm like 90% sure, this is the second time they've extended it.
So $6 a month for Hulu for 3 years.
Meanwhile Netflix is costing me like $14, right now. Still a bargain, but...
Hulu has ads though right?The regular ads version is $8 a month. Still fewer ads than on TV.
Hulu has ads though right?yeah I want to watch that one here soon.
I wanna see their Mars show :(

The mosquitos we have been getting don't seem like the usual flavor.Are these mosquitoes on your property or out in the wild? IDK what's up but you can at least decrease the amount by getting rid of any standing water.
They are very persistent and their bites hurt immensely.

Add to that the fan expectations that keeps growing year over year, progress will be slow, but it's just way to slow now. It's a shame the series was forced to deviate from the books, as the quality clearly dipped

In the wake of an earlier thread showing that people may not know the definition of socialism even when they consider themselves as one, I feel that the best way to rectify this is to find a way to identify oneself based on issues. The 8values poll may well be the closest thing to a decently accurate take of your political leanings.Saw this on Era, interested as to what you guys would all get. Only takes 5 mins.

Most of the time I only ever see portfolio sites for mostly art based stuff, like photography, environment art, texturing, etc. Though if you are going to show off programming stuff i'm not sure how best to showcase that on a site. I've never seen anything like that, tbh. Maybe just didn't look enough for that type of stuff though.

Vgchartz mods can be a bit retarded sometimes. Angulus said i ignored a clear thread warning. The warning carl linked was from March. Maybe they should include the warning at the top of every monthly thread. How they expect people to remember that after so long and if you only post 3 or 4 times a month in there.Not sure how that's being retarded... Rules are rules.
Not sure how that's being retarded... Rules are rules.It's retarded. What if you were a new member in the last 6 months? What if you don't remember everything from 6 months ago. If you're going to enforce warnings from a different thread 6 months ago then put it in the OP of the new threads.

Just signed up to neogaf and resetera. Was very surprised nobody had taken that name. Happy days.Is it a popular name or were you just shocked no one's trying to impersonate you? :P
Is it a popular name or were you just shocked no one's trying to impersonate you? :PNo i just said somebody did take my name. Devastated tbh
Not popular but yeah I'm shocked nobody tried to impersonate me or use up the name to prevent me having it when I finally signed up. So anybody who wanted to troll me over the years missed a good opportunity there.Well Era and Gaf are fairly annoying with their sign up procedure, so I guess not many people would want to risk taking someone else's name.
But I'm also surprised a hard-core MGS fan didn't either as the Kerotan is a very cool collectable from MGS3.
Well Era and Gaf are fairly annoying with their sign up procedure, so I guess not many people would want to risk taking someone else's name.Well it's a pity it didn't work for me then. Probably someone on chartz trying to annoy me.

There's a big outcry atm about these homophobes on fallout 76. I'm a supporter of gay people but I actually find this funny. I never got the impression they genuinely hated gays. Like all things in life sexuality should be made fun of if in jest.

Interesting comment
This is a troll incident and they should be banned of course.
But this incident aside, This issue will prove to be very tricky in this game going forward. Because the premise is to role-play a fkd up person in a post apocoliptic fkd up wastland, which is why NPCs don't exist, and some might want to role play the bad guys, like the slavers from past fallout games for example ? Or even Nazis.
Bathesda should define ingame where the line starts and ends. So players and specially kids can read it. Maybe have a paragraph at the start in tutorial and some sentences during loading as tips.
I've never heard anyone who truly supports LGBTs refer to them as "gays", outside of ironic joking around inside friends groups. Just putting that out there...What about Irish people or black people having to hear stuff against them? Why are gay people exempt? I'm talking in games or movies from the devs not the people playing them.
Sure some people can play the bad guys, but specific targeting of any groups like that is just horrible and they deserve the perma-ban. LGBT people go through enough shame as it is, hearing stuff like that over voice chat is always horrible.
What about Irish people or black people having to hear stuff against them? Why are gay people exempt? I'm talking in games or movies from the devs not the people playing them.What? The same goes for every minority...
And you never heard people refer to homosexuals as gays? Do you live on the moon or what? Not only have I heard people who support the movement endless times use the word gay but I've also heard gay people refer to themselves as gay.
What you think the word gay is classed with other words like nigga and n word? Hahaha hahaha

Well my finals are coming up. I'mFinals for what?
Not excited.
Both gaf and resetera had big updates in the same week. Gaf update was good while resetera update broke everything.Probably won't be too much of an effect.
Wonder how this will impact both forums in the short term. I'm essentially avoiding resetera right now while they fix things.
Probably won't be too much of an effect.Won't have any effect. Resetera is my go to forum these days.
I'm avoiding both right now.
Well, Era is avoiding me right now. A lot of maintenance these past few days...
Finals for what?University
I've got
- Linear Algebra
- Statistical Mechanics
- Algorithms
- Chinese
Exams next week.
UniversityGood luck to both of you!
Lot of business related classes
I found that video funny. The guy apologised to her back stage saying it was a joke and she said she knew it was and didn't take offence.A joke is supposed to be funny though. Why didn't he joke about the male players?
Resetera is fixed now.
David Jaffe wants to debate Resetera user Phantom Thief.About what?
Curious how this will go
About what?David Jaffe's insecurities it would seem? Phantom Thief just made a thread about tweets Jaffe made that were fairly political. Standard Era stuff, Jaffe has shaming political opinions so they called him out (he basically said an alt-right transphobe should be able to speak loud and proud). And now Jaffe is all upset about it.

Oof, yeah.Uhuh, same here. I don't like people who are hateful and try to promote backwards thinking. Jaffe has no problem with alt-right people speaking out, but he has problems with Era criticising him. So yeah, I have no time for him.
My problem is society will never heal with name calling.
Each side is so friken stubborn about this simple concept. I lean towards the left side , but the far right it's fueled through name calling. They do it for "liberal years"

Close your fudgy tabs! Problem solved 8)Yeah I currently have 7 open and it feels like way too many. I don't get the point in having so many tabs open.
What kind of monsters can have that many open at once. I hate having more than 10 open
It's called being a programmer!nah still seems excessive! 8)
You'll have tons of tabs open while working on something. Best feeling in the world is when you finish that chunk and can close a bunch of tabs.
It's called being a programmer!I'm not a real programmer.

On a different note.Yeah I have that same feeling. Me and my mom went to IKEA and I got a coffee table and a bunch of kitchen stuff and it's really cool knowing it's going to be "mine". I honestly can't wait to be able to find my own style of how I want my apartment to look. But that's still 3 to 5 months away cause I'm trying to save a lot before moving out.
I'm kind of really excited to move out. Just because it's so cool how much stuff my wife and I have. I'm excited to be able to look around and know that everything around me is something that I worked for or was gifted to me by someone. It's just kind of crazy, I'm able to look around right now, and see how much stuff we have.
Hundreds of books, several tubs of clothes, a king sized bed, a big TV, a few bookshelves, a couch, etc.
On Reddit someone made a comment that Uncharted 1-3 was available separately on PS4.Well there's your problem, you thought downvotes made sense ::)
I looked on the PSN store, it wasn't true.
So I corrected them. But then I decided to check the UK PSN. They sell them separately. So I corrected myself. Sold separately in Europe, not in the US.
Despite the correction, all my comments got downvoted. ::)

So I corrected them. But then I decided to check the UK PSN. They sell them separately. So I corrected myself. Sold separately in Europe, not in the US.
Despite the correction, all my comments got downvoted. ::)

@Dr. PezusProbably inflammation settling in. Should get better with time. Also even if it was broken there's no reason to worry about your little toe
I stubbed my small toe yesterday against a door. I'm pretty sure it's not broken but the pain is slightly worse today. Kinda feels like the pain is coming from the muscles attached to the toe instead of the toe itself. I'm assuming this is just one of those things that will take time to heal but is otherwise fine?

I mean, look at this. Canada ranks 3rd last in nations (10 day mandate), the only ones being worse are Japan and the USA.[/size]
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-ranks-3rd-last-in-paid-vacations-1.1306523 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-ranks-3rd-last-in-paid-vacations-1.1306523)
Canada ranks third last among economically advanced countries in the amount of paid vacation time it guarantees its workers, a new U.S. study indicates.
The country, which for the most part mandates 10 vacation days annually, ranks ahead of only Japan and the United States, which is in last place.
Japan also requires 10 days paid vacation for workers, but unlike Canada has no paid statutory holidays. The U.S. -- the "no-vacation nation" -- doesn't guarantee any paid vacation, the study says. Click to expand... "In the absence of government standards, almost one in four Americans has no paid vacation (23 per cent) and no paid holidays (23 per cent)," says the report, which was published in Washington by the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Click to expand... The authors call the U.S. "the only advanced economy in the world that does not guarantee its workers paid vacation."
They don't delve into the economic or health effects of vacation laws.
In Canada, provincial law governs annual paid leave unless the employee falls under federal jurisdiction, the study notes. All provinces guarantee two weeks paid vacation, except for Saskatchewan, which mandates three weeks. Click to expand... The best countries for paid vacation are:Click to expand... I'll repeat, employers in countries such as France and the United Kingdom are required on part of their governments to grant A WHOLE MONTH of paid vacation time to ALL employees.
- France: 30 days.
- The United Kingdom: 28 days.
- The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden: 25 days.
Why is Canada so far behind in this requirement?
And are most Americans even aware their worker rights are total crud compared to a bulk of European nations?
Why does Canada lag so far behind Europe in terms of required paid vacation days for employees? (3rd worst, behind USA which is 0 days) | ResetEra (https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-does-canada-lag-so-far-behind-europe-in-terms-of-required-paid-vacation-days-for-employees-3rd-worst-behind-usa-which-is-0-days.94971/)Paid leave is to the discretion of the employer.
TIL you don't have legal rights to paid leave in the US... wtf is wrong with you America?
Kinda surprised the UK is the second most with 28 paid days leave a year, I always thought that was just kind of standard.
You still get paid leave on bank/ public holidays in the US right?
Paid leave is to the discretion of the employer.Seems like a no brainer. 20+ days paid leave is probably a bonus for small business, due to the productivity increase. I couldn't imagine going without any paid leave, those poor people in the USA (of all places) who have to suffer that. Mind blowing.
"Similarly, 77% of private employers give their employees paid time off during public holidays, on average 8 holidays per year"
Oh it's even in the Era page!
"In the absence of government standards, almost one in four Americans has no paid vacation (23 per cent) and no paid holidays (23 per cent)"
There are still some people who likely think paid vacation hurts small business.
But the biggest reason, we don't have some of these things is because politicians don't realize how popular they are.
Seems like a no brainer. 20+ days paid leave is probably a bonus for small business, due to the productivity increase.There are some people who don't believe it exists. That the more you work, the more productive you are (see Elon Musk...)

Had a dream that Legend had a thread about how he liked border walls, but only because they are smooth unlike mountains.Oh man did I love building walls in Age of Empires.
He included some comparisons that looked like Age of Empires walls.
Oh man did I love building walls in Age of Empires.I've had a couple that I can remember vaguely right now. They do seem pretty rare, I don't get many despite how much time I spend on computers.
Also have you ever had a computer dream before? They're supposedly really rare.

That's why i dont work at small companies anymore. I get almost 40 days off a year at my current company.Gotta get my freelance work going better so I can just take as much time as I want off when I want. Thing I hate about only getting 10 days off is that I can't really do much traveling I have Florida vacation in may that will have to take 4 or 5 of them. And then we want to go to Vegas which will take another 2 or 3 depending on if we go over a weekend. Leaving maybe 2 to 4 for not much else. Me and a friend have been wanting to do a national park road trip across the US but now its kinda impossible.
There's a lot of people that think every item in the store has a security tag on it that gets deactivated as soon as it gets scanned.I guess people thinks those entrance/ exit scanners are more clever than they actually are.
It's super bizarre to me.
It's happened a lot where people will make a comment about how they don't need the alarm going off so please scan my water under my cart with the hand scanner.
Despite the fact that most items don't have a security tag like that.
And the hand scanner doesn't deactivate anything .
I guess people thinks those entrance/ exit scanners are more clever than they actually are.I just think it's weird. I've always known it was only on certain things.
On the topic of theft, it's insane how common it is. I meet my mom for lunch a lot and you can just sit in parking lots watching cop cars pull up to stores.(My) Walmart doesn't call the cops too often.

For reference, the usual average for this date is around 8C, so this is way, way above that. Although last Feb it was freezing and we had lots of snow, so I guess it all balances out.

Karma is real
It has been proven time and time again that people can only gain muscle if they take steroids and other chemical to put on muscle mass. Eating more calories and more Protein does not help anyone gain muscle mass it only converts to body fat and you get fatter over time. Some bicep curls, push ups, sit ups and the 20 to 30 minute weight sessions will not improve muscle mass unless you take steroids and the other chemicals the body builders use.Uhm, yeah. You can't get stronger/gain muscle except without steroids. Tell that to the millions of people who already have.
Weight lifting is out for me because I am weak and I can not lift weights and I find bicep curls, push ups, sit ups and the other weight exercises boring. I discovered focusing on cardio like walking, jogging and cycling are good enough to keep fit. Body mass index is the best measurement for health and I fit well within the 18 to 25 BMI range. BMI is calculated by height in m/(weight in kg(squared)). There is nothing wrong with weight lifting/body building if that is what you enjoy doing and you are strong enough to do it. Some of us like me look stupid attempting weights and it is best doing activities that are less impact than weight lifting.

Sunday! It's the first day on the start of every row on a calendar.....so yeah.Because calendars are just following traditional ordering which comes from old religious shame.

Might try a different chromium browser like ... edge... I guess.
I use chrome on my desktop and firefox on my phone. Still have firefox installed on my PC but I only use it when testing the website.Its not visual at all, its all to do with function, chrome is just much smoother, faster and well designed overall.
Firefox had a recent update that made it "better" than chrome on the tech side so maybe you could find a skin that makes it work better visually for you?
Its not visual at all, its all to do with function, chrome is just much smoother, faster and well designed overall.Huh. Outside of user experience things, I've heard nothing but praise for Firefox Quantum till now.
Tried edge and it feels okay but went back to chrome and man its sexy after using firefox for a while. Eh, guess I'll just have to suck up the privacy cost and all that for what's obviously the best browser. (also firefox uses like 3x more RAM than chrome which is crazy).I feel like Chrome works better, but I'm surprised that it'd have an advantage for RAM usage for you.

Huh. Outside of user experience things, I've heard nothing but praise for Firefox Quantum till now.Yeah firefox quantum is so much better than firefox used to be, but its still bad compared to chrome. Page load times are quite comparable now (although I found chrome to be faster still) but chrome is much faster when flicking through tabs quickly and bringing up menus etc. Chrome scrolls much smoother and just generally gets all the small things right while firefox still has a few hitches.
I feel like Chrome works better, but I'm surprised that it'd have an advantage for RAM usage for you.Thought I'd give edge a try since people said its improved a lot lately but its still super crud compared to chrome. I haven't had any issues with chrome but if they start blocking adblockers then there's gonna be issues, thought I'd switch to firefox and get ahead of the game but I just can't stick with firefox, it annoys me too much.
Why would you use Edge?
Use Chromium instead?
I havent had these issues with Chrome.
This happened a while ago, but this lady at Walmart was talking about how if you saved a quarter every day, you'd save over $10,000 in a year.I'm pretty sure the original form of that thing was about interest, showing how a small amount of money can grow into a large amount. Guess it has been warped over the years since I first heard it.
When I pointed out that didn't make sense, she was confused. 0.25*365=91.25. Not even a hundred dollars. She said she didn't remember what the math on the Facebook post was.
The Facebook post was dumb though.
It was basically save 25 cents day 1, 50 cents day 2, 75 cents day 3, etc. That means by the end of the year, you're putting away almost $90 a day every day of the week.
Which is kind of dumb. If you're making enough money that you can still put away $90 after expenses, you probably don't need a savings plan involving quarters....

Drivers have gone crazy in the last few years. About a week ago I was driving in Boulder. Speed limit was 30, I was going a bit over 30, and this truck following me wasn't having it. He tried to pass me in the right turn only lane (even though this wasn't even a one lane road) yet at that exact moment I was getting over to turn right anyway. He almost rear ended us. I have no clue what he was thinking. After swerving back he just got stuck behind the next car.Driving irritates me so much. People are just ugh.
Driving irritates me so much. People are just ugh.I drive about an hour a day on average. Don't know how you would classify that.
Do you drive a lot?
Another story:
I was driving through town. I started slowing down because I saw on the sidewalk a lady was losing control of her 3 year old who was going towards the road.
Guy behind me started honking.
I'm a pretty fast driver, but i'm also very cautious. I don't ever try and shoot past people that aren't getting out of the passing lane or are going slower then speed limit. It's those people who just have to get past you without allowing you the time to get over are the issue. I never ride peoples rear end either. All those types of drivers irritate me to no end.For whatever reason, I greatly prefer highway speeders. 99% of them don't go that fast and in general people understand when there is an exit on the left. Residential 40 and under zones are just the worst in my experience.

My important passwords are randomly generated and stored on paper but everything else is fairly vulnerable.I found out one of my first accounts was part of a data breach a while ago. But I hadn't gotten around to changing the couple of accounts that had the same details. But finding out someone signed in, was definitely motivation to change it. :P
YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO SEE THIS CONTENTThe top post is amazing though

It kind of amazes me how clueless some people are about how some things work.I remember thinking that when I was younger haha.
Some people think that the scanner when you are ringing up items, also deactivates the alarm thing. They also seem to think it's on every item.
I've had several people make comments like "please scan our case of water. Don't need the alarm going off."
Just one example I'm thinking of right now.
I remember thinking that when I was younger haha.It'll get there eventually I'm sure.
It's kinda crazy that companies don't have better tech solutions to fight theft. Would save so much money to have RFID tags in everything. Heck my local library even does this!
Something to add, a lot of people think that the check reader reads the whole check.The what now who?

The what now who?cheque for the non-Americans.
cheque for the non-Americans.Yeah we know that, but why on Earth does a walmart have a cheque reader? ;D
Yeah we know that, but why on Earth does a walmart have a cheque reader? ;DA lot of old people still use a lot of cheques.
A lot of old people still use a lot of cheques.God dang America, I had no idea cheques in shops were ever a thing. Only cheques I see nowadays are when my grandma wants to gift me a decent amount of money. Cheques are just annoying.
They suck, tbh.
At least all of your card readers are contactless right?They support it, very few people have contactless cards though. Slowly moving toward it though.
Y'all need to do more business stuff. Checks are the default way to handle payments.Bank transfers?
Bank transfers?Bank transfers are common for some things, for example my game profits are wired directly, but checks are still pretty popular for service payments.
Bank transfers are common for some things, for example my game profits are wired directly, but checks are still pretty popular for service payments.dang, so much wasted paper.
dang, so much wasted paper.Here a lot of that stuff is usually by cheque.
idk what its like for big businesses here but my Dad's estate agency businesses pay all services with bank transfers, no cheques anywhere. iirc they don't accept rent from tenants as cheques either, has to be cash or bank transfer.
It'll get there eventually I'm sure.Hobby lobbys don't even have scanners lol.
A lot of the electronics that the store uses are pretty old.
My store literally had an old monitor (natural reference picture ;D )
(https://us.123rf.com/450wm/naumoid/naumoid1811/naumoid181100018/113609979-vintage-crt-computer-monitor-with-black-screen-isolated-on-white-background.jpg?ver=6)
That was used for the front desk. Even had the login screen burned into it.
It only got replaced like a year ago. There's still an older TV that shows the Electronics department. It actually has the aisles burned into it.
There have been a lot of updates recently. Especially the scanners. Now they are more like mobile phones that connect to the store's wifi.
These were the old ones.

*opens Reddit*Did it force you on to the new design?
What in tarnation...
Did it force you on to the new design?Not forced. I am set up to get the new designs, but this is just eh. Now there are avatars next to comments and a handful of minor design changes.
https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Headphones-Lightweight-Foldable/dp/B076HPB1HQ?th=1&psc=1These sound a lot better than any sound devices I've ever had. Pretty happy.
Thinking to get these. I'm not really an audiophile so I'm not sure what's good.
I know no one cares about the headphones...I love stuff like that!
But it's just weird listening to a song I've listened to dozens of times before and hearing sounds in it I've never heard before.
Like the song Arms Wide Open apparently starts with a few seconds of a heart beat.
It's also weird hearing a door open in a video, and not being sure if it came from the video or an actual door in the room I'm in... That happened too.
Kinda unbelievable to me, but I saw someone spend an extra $40 so they could get a non-smart TV. They didn't have Internet so they didn't want the Roku TV and opted for a more expensive one.Did the smart TV require internet to use basic features?
Did the smart TV require internet to use basic features?I do not believe so.

Got a new phone.Sounds like any phone nowadays lulz. Model?
Bigly. Huge screen, lot of memory and storage .
Sounds like any phone nowadays lulz. Model?Moto G7.
I think weather is weird.I love being able to look out and see rain clouds in the distance. That happens a lot here.
It's obviously regional. But it's weird to think that there's a line somewhere where it's no longer windy, or no longer raining.
It's like it's obviously regional, but it almost feels universal.

Has anyone else felt like Google has been kind of bad lately?I've noticed too... Like, I can literally not find stuff I've found often before through google
Google has been feeling like Yahoo did during my transition period when I switched.
I've been finding it harder to find a lot of stuff.
I feel like Wikipedia has taken a tumble down the results, sometimes onto the second page even.
Feel like lately most of the time when I try looking for something fairly specific, Google will ignore 80% of my inquiry and I'll be given generic stuff that's just somewhat related.
I thought about it a couple weeks ago, that it seems like googling data has gotten harder. I have some repeat conversations with my uncle about some topic and data that I shared last time just doesn't come up.
And I thought it was just me being silly, but my friend brought it up today.

I'm pretty sure that netflix might have some patents on some of the stuff but I honestly can't wrap my head around some features missing or absurd behaviour:[/size]
- disney plus where is my "go to the next episode button"
- hulu why to go to the next episode I have to click on an actual thumbnail of the next episode
- amazon why is it so painful to actually manage languages preferences
and the list goes on and on... honestly this is almost like console makers removing folders at the start of a new generation: some of this things should be obvious and you should have them and honestly they should be copying netflix UI as much as possible...
skipping the previous episodes summary should be a default tbh (although netflix might have a patent there?) and same applies to opening credits and definitely closing credits (looking at you disney plus)
what really I can't understand how it is possible that companies that are worth billions and have seen competitors in this space for years are not able to understand or design a decent UI / UX
Disney plus has a great UI, its basically the exact same as Netflix.Yeah.
I really like debunking websites.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS_H_4AmsqC705DObesZIIg
Snopes is a big famous one for politics.
skeptical science is another I've found. It does a lot of climate denial debunking. It goes into scientific explanations with different levels of explanations.
I really wish there was an antivaxxer debunking site.

It feels so surreal that this guy is president of one of the largest countries in the world. It is what it is.
How can he constantly be trying to show how he is doing better than other countries and blaming others. dang

I really like my headphones.You should try the Sony wh1000xm ones
Work gave me some headphones for meetings. They spent like $60 on it, and yet they feel really cheap and incredibly uncomfortable compared to my own.
I used to hate headphones, now I feel like the issue is that people gave me cheap ones to use.
I've been using my headphones quite a bit. For work, been using them to play God of War on a monitor that doesn't have speakers.
Decided to buy a couple of Aux cables to make it easier to plug them in.

Them: The real mystery is how does it work?
Okay? Doesn't really give me anything to go off of.

You know the saying about lies spreading faster than truth?

So I don't have ms office. Instead I'm using Libreoffice.You don't have access to office through work?
I don't understand why the default is so bad.
You get this single worthless menu. If you want to do anything basic like changing the font size you have to go through the header and look for the right menu and then find the font menu. It actually has a menu just like new word, but it's not the default. (It might not be a terrible menu, I'm just not used to it.).
Or why the color scheme is so bad. The icons are the same color as the MS office ones. But the apps themselves are like check out this white document and this slightly off white menu. There's barely any contrast.
You don't have access to office through work?Not for personal use. :P

What are the odds that two related numbers intuitively should be identical but instead split apart after 4 decimal places? This keeps happening to me time and time again and I feel like I've joined the occult, looking for patterns for the sake of patterns instead of following the math.
Haha I'm using numbers with 500 decimal places just because I'm paranoid my results can't be trusted.

I've seen a few people have the opinion that electric is just a mid point before we get to hydrogen cars.batteries are terrible for the environment to make and recycle.
But it doesn't really make sense to me. Unless the issues with the batteries are unsolvable from a law of nature point of view.
batteries are terrible for the environment to make and recycle.That's what I mean about batteries being unsolvable. They're not environmentally friendly to produce, charging takes a long time, and range leads more to be desired. But are all these problems fundamentally unsolvable due to laws of physics or are they just difficult problems with our current technologies?
lithium is a very limited resource on earth,. there really isn't enough for it to be the backbone of our energy needs.
hydrogen is more energy dense. to get a car to go a mere 300 miles on EV batteries it currently takes hundreds of pounds of battery. a compressed hydrogen car will exceed 1000. a liquid hydrogen car would be 10,000.
EV is slow to charge hence why no is talking about battery as a service. to go long distance you need to swap batteries. compressed hydrogen could be refueled like a gas car.
... doesn't mean there can't exist "miracle batteries" in 20/50/100 years that have 3 or 30 times the energy capacity and able to charge in 30 seconds.i mean, there are some basic laws of physics to talk about.
Can I use a normal 110 volt outlet to charge?The wall adaptor is to increase the voltage to get the change time down to about 12 hours.
Yes. An adapter for a 110 volt outlet (NEMA 5-15) is included as standard equipment with all new Tesla cars. This provides approximately two to four miles of range per hour of charge depending on the car. For the best home charging experience, we recommend installing a Wall Connector (https://www.tesla.com/support/home-charging-installation/wall-connector).
i mean, there are some basic laws of physics to talk about.Why would you need to charge at home? Do you get gas at home?
An iphone has about 3000 mAh of storage capacity. When changed on a 110 V source (N.America's standard) it will take 15 minutes to transfer the required power to charge the phone.
A tesla has waaaay more capacity. what i found online is 8640000 mAh. So when charged on a 110 V source it should take 720 hours to recharge. to quote tesla: https://www.tesla.com/support/home-charging-installation/faq
The wall adaptor is to increase the voltage to get the change time down to about 12 hours.
...but if you are talking about a miracle battery with 30 times the capacity you're also talking about 30 times the charge time (12 * 30 = 360 hours) or 30 times voltage. there is kind of a limit of how high you can take that voltage before it's just not safe to be installed in a home. it's kinda like trying to fill a pool with a garden hose and then saying "but what if i make the pool bigger?"
i mean, i'm not going to say that there is no room for improvement on batteries but from what i understand battery technolgy has hit a wall. the hydrogen economy isn't without problems either. platinum is more plentiful and less toxic than lithium but it's still not great of the environment to make a fuel cell. most fuel cell how issues with poisoning. but, imo, the problems are more solvable than seeing vast improvements in batteries.
in the end,.. cars are a bit of the more challenging problem. the hydrogen economy will probably replace fossil fuels in industrial power generation first.
The plane had a selection of games to play. Most of them were normal like flappy bird, 2048.easy.
Then there was a game called mod7. I can't find anything about it online. No idea what the rules are.
easy.You know what they say, 100% 7 is 2 after all.

easy.I know what modular arithmetic is. :P

The game was weird though.Sounds like...
Selecting a 9 or a 6 was an automatic lose.
So I figured that the rule was 2(mod 7) or -1 (mod 7) were fails. Strangely didn't seem to hold, selecting a 5 and a 4, I believe wasn't a loss.

I really hate browsing on my phone (Android) right now.I dont like the groups either. It annoys me too. But I just got used to it.
Google Chrome has been close to perfect, but now they have groups, and for whatever reason I haven't been able to disable them. And I really hate the feature. Completely messes up my flow.
Tried several other browsers, and I don't really like any of them. And it's really over minor stuff.
Edge seems slower, and going back to the home page requires two button presses (I know I'm very picky).

Blender is good. Lots of tutorials out there. If you have no 3d experience though it'll take a lot of effort.

I skipped Veritasium's video when it released because it seemed like the standard oversimplified promotion but I didn't think it'd be that extreme.I think something worth pointing out there, is that part of the trouble is that it's a video that Derek would make in the first place, even without sponsorship.
His later video about clickbait really solidified my views on the current state of the channel. It included a quote about how Derick feels slightly manipulative tactics are ok because his videos are too important not to be seen. It's such a ridiculous perspective for a channel that is already so successful and has such a large outreach.And to be honest, this is probably a bigger issue with the channel than the sponsorship.
In general it sucks how almost every educational content creator treats their channel as a source of "truth" instead of a source of knowledge. Great examples of the opposite are Tom Scott, Scott Manley, Smarter Every Day, and Tim Dodd. Even fact based channels can avoid this trap, like PBS Infinite Series and 3Blue1Brown, which focus more on sharing than telling.Tom is the goat.

A lot of the issues brought up in the video, with the statistics and the elevator story were also put in a video 4 years ago without sponsorship.
And to be honest, this is probably a bigger issue with the channel than the sponsorship.

I'd really love a sci fi story that shows a seemingly dystopian future but inverts the trope, arguing that present day beliefs are flawed and the "dystopian" future is actually a good thing. Lame example would be a sci fi future where everyone is hooked up to IVs and their brain chip just simulates flavor. At first it'd feel shocking and wrong but if it's genuinely preferred within the future society, who are we to judge? Maybe it's way better for the environment.

Have you ever seen it where someone like needs to compensate for something by being against a claim outright?The PS5 SSD is impressive. A curious question is, does high end PCs even utilise a super quick SSD like PS5? I say this because games that are built with the PS5 SSD in, tends to perform a fraction of what it could. Does PS5 take an advantage of being a closed system with games built for the PS5 better than games on the PC with a similar spec SSD?
A silly example:
If someone thought X = 10, but then they found out that X is actually only 9, then they respond by insisting that X is actually 0.
A more concrete example. A lot of people with the PS5 SSD, seem like they needed to respond to it not being the fastest thing ever, by insisting that it isn't fast at all, and if you even say the PS5 is just fast, then you fell for the myth.
Like it's impossible for someone to hold the position that yes the PS5 SSD is fast, even if it's not the fastest thing ever.
I hope my example makes sense.

everything is down in market cap.Money printing isn't true:
the fed printed 9 trillion dollars during the pandemic which caused high inflation and a huge stock market bubble.
now the fed is just starting to remove 9 trillion dollars from the economy. tbh I'm surprised tesla hasn't crashed more. it reached 1200 a share but a more reasonable "fair" evaluation is like 200. it's still over 700 and has a long way to crash.

The Federal Reserve does have a balance sheet of $9 trillion, but it hasn't added (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttrends.htm) $8 trillion anytime recently.The link in her source linked to the wrong part of the fed's website. Here's the data charted:
That was quite possibly the worst journalism I've ever read.Both of these charts show the same data.
Of course when I say "printed" I'm talking about the balance sheet and not literally printed dollars. And this line was the most hilarious:
The link in her source linked to the wrong part of the fed's website. Here's the data charted:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL). (Notice the massive spike since the pandemic lockdown)
the fed has been actively quantitative easing (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/q/quantitative-easing.asp) since the start of the pandemic and just starting quantitative tapering (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tapering.asp). It took me a long time to get my head around all of the jargon and nuance but to say the fed has been "printing" money is accurate enough.Same general pattern, but MS, Apple, Google dropped around 16-19% YTD, Tesla has dropped 35% of it's share value this year.
for the article to even suggest the fed hasn't added to the balance sheet recently is the most financially illiterate journalism though. I've been watching ever jpow address to the nation recently and changes to the balance sheet is literally all that is being talked about…
With respect to the twitter deal,.. it had little to do with it. Go look at apple or ms or google stock prices aligned,.. they all dropped in unison with Tesla. This is a market wide selloff right now driven by the fed.
Both of these charts show the same data.apple had a pe of ~30 at the top.
It shows a 3 trillion dollar spike at the start of covid and overall a 4.5 trillion dollar spike since the start of Covid.
It's not 9 trillion.
Same general pattern, but MS, Apple, Google dropped around 16-19% YTD, Tesla has dropped 35% of it's share value this year.
Even in the past month, Tesla dropped 15%, whereas the rest dropped less than 6%, Google actually gained.

Besides that, companies want to set up their image. It's kind of hard to market your rainbow logo during pride month, when the people that are in charge of your marketing are actively spreading homophobia/transphobia/etc.

This is completely wrong in the US, which is at-will employment everywhere. The US doesn't have the employment protections that the UK or other countries have.Well I guess you're right, companies in the US use at-will employment in most states. I went and read a bit about it now
There are certain protected classes like race, naughtiness, etc. But aside from those things, you can fire anyone for any reason.
Social media is a huge reason for firing people. Get drunk, and post about it on your social media, companies could let you go for that.

Except the page isn't interactable whatsoever. It's still executing the original page I was on. And continuing to type will cause it to swap back.

A bronze sword more than 3,000 years old , which is so well-preserved that it "almost still shines", has been unearthed in southern Germany, officials say.(https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/20af7bbb01e9e4b7f14bbb66abb7c366e82ef7e9/0_378_2268_2268/master/2268.jpg?width=620&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none)
The Bavarian state office for the preservation of historical monuments (BLfD) said the sword, which is believed to date back to the end of the 14th century BC -- the middle of the bronze age -- was found during excavations last week in Nördlingen, between Nuremberg and Stuttgart.
The worst thing about setting up the new wireless routers, is being reminded that I only have 10 Mbps upload, but at least I have 300 Mbps download! (Also for some reason my PC is getting closer to 350.)That's one thing I love about fiber. Upload is almost the same as download.
I've been thinking a lot about going back to university for a master's degree.Very cool. I've also been thinking about getting a master's to be able to teach environment art at the college I went to. They desperately need someone who really knows unreal engine and their current is good, but I've always felt his skills were limited. No one comes out of that school as an amazing artist, it happens very rarely. I'd like to change that.
I have a pretty good idea of what I want to get. CS degree in either AI or graphics. (Also hoping to take some Japanese classes, either part of a program or not.)
But I have no idea where I want to go. I think the closest graduate school is like 2 hours away. And it's a great college, but that's quite a distance for a routine thing with life going on.
Finding a good online program is probably easier for my life right now. But I'm not sure where.
I've been thinking a lot about going back to university for a master's degree.You're probably better off doing an online program. I'd look at UK universities as well, their Masters degree are generally 1 year, compared to 2 years in the US. And they are cheaper. I know the issue is the time zone, but some universities might have work around for that and flexible hours

My reasons are pretty dumb.Then I wouldn't take one tbh unless you get some sort of scholarship.
I don't need a masters for my career or anything like that.
I think I would benefit career-wise from taking a few specific classes, but I don't think a masters would help my career.
But I like taking classes. And it would make me feel good to be working towards something. And financially we are doing very well. I have a good job. Finances aren't a huge issue.
Then I wouldn't take one tbh unless you get some sort of scholarship.My work is partially remote, but largely flexible.
Is your work remote?
My work is partially remote, but largely flexible.I mean, I thought if you want it for the experience, you could go to the UK. What a lot of people do is go for the UK for 2 semesters (which is about a total of 6 months) because the third and final one is your thesis, and you can do that back home in the US. Its just an idea.
I'm not really in a position to go to the UK.Yeah I figured. I just shared an option that I've seen some people do. As I've net people from america who done it
Have family, my wife has her own job, two years into paying for a house. :P
I've talked to people all over the political spectrum. But I've only recently read posts by people who are "left wing tankies", and that has to be some of the biggest nonsense I've ever seen.I don't know what I did wrong because I've been seeing posts by tankies for years.
People that think North Korea is good because it's democratic, but struggling because America is bad to them.
And that Russia is in the same category.
I don't know what I did wrong because I've been seeing posts by tankies for years.Any particular subs that you see that on?
Hopefully the US soldier that ran into North Korea wasn't a tankie. I can't think of any reasons to do that, but it would really suck if he thought it'd be better to live there.
Any particular subs that you see that on?Lots of the political subs during 2020, but I just used r/all.
McDonald's Announces Spinoff Restaurant Coming to Limited Markets in 2024I don't think I've ever seen a "legit" article/page that was so funky. Why are random words linking to unrelated articles!? I know it's a common trend to link to related articles in the text like they do with the grimace shake or "confirmed aliens," but why do they also do it with "geography" and "December!?!?"

Since isn't much in the way of details please enjoy this 80's commercial featuring the CosMc character the new restaurant will be themed on:
I hate it so much when a small bit of music comes into my head randomly or a line of dialogue, where I would know if I heard it again, but none of it is descriptive enough to be able to search for it.I'm having that right now with that one game Sony showed off a few years ago. Catchy music and almost a chibi like art style yet the dance animations were hyper realistic.
One hypothetically nice aspect of having movies/TV shows as video files on your PC is that you can fix video issues.How many movies don't have subtitles? I hardly ever use them but I thought dvds made them incredibly standard?
You can add subtitles or fix audio delays.
How many movies don't have subtitles? I hardly ever use them but I thought dvds made them incredibly standard?If you live outside an English speaking country, sometimes subtitles on Netflix are just of the language of that country. So it's very very annoying, specially when you know for certain they have English subtitles, they just don't give you the option to use them
How many movies don't have subtitles? I hardly ever use them but I thought dvds made them incredibly standard?I haven't noticed any movies without subtitles. I have at least one tv series without subtitles, unfortunately. Which I haven't fixed yet.
Weird question.I know Pi to a useless amount of digits 3.1415926535897932384626433
Does anyone have useless talents?
I can wiggle my ears.
I can snap with any of my fingers + snap with 3 of them in succession.
This is the general discussion thread so I legit thought you were posting a cheese grater!same lol.
I was holding on to a bunch of digital codes that came with the blu-ray discs, not planning on using them, but figured the option was worth something.I've never bothered with those. I assume they're all expired.
Decided to use them, and recycle the paper; was thinking it was silly to hold onto them.
Movies Anywhere is kind of nice. It feeds back into iTunes so all of the movies I redeemed were available on both. Also already had the 30 movies from that $8 DC bundle.
I've never bothered with those. I assume they're all expired.All of my movies seem to be 1080p.
Are they improved quality or just identical to the disc?

Good to see some good changes with Twitter.Community notes aren't perfect but they have so much potential.

Exactlythat was the point.
Was trying to share an image, but I can't figure out how to embed Reddits weird images.The community note was removed because it was incorrect (unless this is a different image)
Elon was asking why Wikipedia needs money, since all the text they have could fit on your phone.
Community notes swooped in and corrected him.
What the fudge is this? Reddit - Dive into anything (https://www.reddit.com/r/shiftingrealities)Some people think drugs can make you do so as well. So I won't be surprised if a lot of people think that
Some metajoke I'm not getting or did I just stumble into 100 thousand people that think you can literally travel to different realities by sleeping?
Real filters produce dark and mucky water when you first run them.Not sure if this is necessarily true.
Not sure if this is necessarily true.It's only one specific filter made by GE, there isn't supposed to be any variation RPWFE | GE® RPWFE REFRIGERATOR WATER FILTER | GE Appliances Parts (https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/RPWFE?rrec=true)
When I looked this up, everyone is like "sounds like you have a charcoal filter", which seems to imply there are other kinds that don't do this.
Where did you buy them from? What kind of filter are they?
are those your hands?!?!? are you like 70? I thought you were younger than me!?!?!You've got baby hands?
Have Covid for the second time.Ouch. Glad you're starting to feel better.
It's been a long time since I remember feeling this sick.
Been in bed for most of the past several hours. Was trying to play on the switch, but that became too much. Even turning around in bed became too much at one point. Would feel like throwing up.
This is the best I've felt in like 4 hours.
Have Covid for the second time.I got covid for my second (confirmed at least) time recently as well. Thankfully wasn't very sick, mainly a really runny nose for a few days and felt ill for maybe 1-2 days. My girlfriend was a bit more sick with cough and such. It's like a roulette how sick you'll get it seems.

Guys, I feel like I should tell you here since we're all sharing about ourselves and stuff.Congrats!
I finally have finished my specialty training and can now call myself a specialist or a consultant in internal medicine. Just 13 years since I started my basic doctor training! Heh. It's a bit funny to think about that when I started on the Chertz I hadn't even started on my journey to become a doctor. It's been a long time but time truly flies!

at home covid tests were never very reliable. false positives are rare but false negatives are pretty common.Or it's developing slowly. I've taken a few tests so unless covid tests just don't work on me, 80% accuracy should compound to 99.2% accuracy.
Lol. I assume because of the McDonald's news, we have had two bots hit the same five year old, within the same morning.Lol I think that's the first time we've been astroturfed.
It's covid, 5th test was positive.Sucks. I had it january 2021 I think and have never gotten again despite being around family for prolonged periods that have had it again.
Very first time catching it.
Sucks. I had it january 2021 I think and have never gotten again despite being around family for prolonged periods that have had it again.Luckily I wasn't too bad either. First day I just kept having the urge to swallow which made my throat sore. Second and third days it was like extremally bad allergies, fourth day I was mostly fine.
Mine was real mild since it was like maybe 5 months after I got the moderna shot.
Luckily I wasn't too bad either. First day I just kept having the urge to swallow which made my throat sore. Second and third days it was like extremally bad allergies, fourth day I was mostly fine.thats good. I know the first or second day I felt super tired as well.
I caught it while taking care of my parents and they had it a lot worse than I did, but they're both mostly recovered too.
Did Google undo some of their image search breaking?That'd be cool.
It seems like it usually goes out of it's way to be useless whenever it comes to identifying people. But I just did a Google Lens search and it just told me the two people that were in the image.
I'm way more creator focused than I used to be.Nice. Just wait till you're following individual producers like Dana Goldberg.
Used to have a hard time finding new movies, shows and whatnot. Now I'm like "I really liked Inception, what else has Christopher Nolan made?", "What is Studio Ghibli making now?", "What is Shinkai making next?"
I turned 30 today.I turned 30 November 1!
I'm a dinosaur!
I'm in a weird mood today.(https://snogthefrog.com.au/wp-content/uploads/costume_1337062238_Disney-Character-Goofy-Male.jpg)
Feel like I want to be goofy.
I think most smartphones are way too big for that, but I love the tech behind a bendy phone.about 20 years ago i was making bendy OLEDs as part of my graduate work. i love seeing the tech going mainstream.
Some people are bothered by YouTube's new UI.I think I'm on an older version of youtube but yes every update always makes it worse
I'm more bothered by the playlists not showing you the first video they're going to show.
