But curious... what did you hate about him?
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 01, 2014, 08:43 AMThat is true, he has a lot of improving to do. I've never seen him play as well for Barca as he did at the Confed cup last year, perhaps he just needs time. Although however good he is and will become, he is not worth the money it cost, I agree on that one.
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.

Quote from: ethomaz on Jun 01, 2014, 02:06 PMBarca 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.
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.
Quote from: Xevross on Jun 01, 2014, 02:08 PMI 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.

Cross gen games are really holding the new gen back. Devs should realise its probably not worth it anymore.
Quote from: ethomaz on Jun 01, 2014, 07:00 PMWhich 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.

Quote from: Xevross on Jun 01, 2014, 07:05 PMIt'll be a while, I think. It'll start to get less prevalent as games become more difficult to run on older systems. I'm thinking 2017, we'll see the end of cross platform titles for the most part.

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.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 03, 2014, 08:17 AMThey got into the semi-finals. I wouldn't say they sucked...
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 sucked. and they didnt get into semi finals, they got into quarter finals. they just played good against Man City.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 03, 2014, 12:45 PM
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.

I paid about that much last year for a 3 week trip to Cambodia+Thailand. Doesn't seem that expensive all things considered!
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jun 03, 2014, 12:51 PM
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.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 03, 2014, 12:52 PMYeah, but those places aren't Japan
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.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 03, 2014, 08:22 AMIt is a place I plan to travel in the future... it is expensive but I think it is worth of it.

Quote from: Pezus on Jun 14, 2014, 08:31 PMdang that sucks. Sounds much shitter than our public transport system :(
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...

@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
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 16, 2014, 04:02 PMit's still hit or miss with sales there though... usually some stuff is on sale for better than you'll find on newegg, but other stuff is cheaper on new egg and it depends on whats on sale at either retailer what will be cheaper... at least that's been my experience...
I guess I'll just stick with newegg.
Microcenter sounds cool, but there are none in my state. :(

Quote from: 7H3 on Jun 17, 2014, 04:06 PMLol I was talking about Soccer as you would call it. Rugby was also invented way before American football and is also much more popular around the world than American football. Soccer became big throughout the world with no influence of American football.
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)

Quote from: 7H3 on Jun 17, 2014, 09:57 PMSoccer is the third most played sport in the US though. It's not small at all.
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)
Quote from: 7H3 on Jun 17, 2014, 09:57 PM:P I wouldn't say the US is the #1 hub of sports in the world, simply because they have such different tastes to everyone else. Also, prize money in football is way higher than for nfl. e.g. Champions league winner gets 5x the amount of prize money. The huge ad costs are just weird really.

VR will be the biggest revolution since the smartphone.
Quote from: 7H3 on Jun 19, 2014, 03:58 AMThe problem with AR is that it's still very much science fiction.
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
Quote from: Legend on Jun 19, 2014, 04:15 AMTrue enough... I'd like the AR from things like "Her" and "Gamer" ... where as now basically AR is stuff you can do with your phone anywhere which isn't really immersive at all
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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 21, 2014, 02:08 AM720p 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+.
I don't know. :P
Just want an estimate.
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 21, 2014, 10:02 AMWhat 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.

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.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Jun 21, 2014, 04:38 PMFor small screen like notebook it will be fine but to play in a HDTV 40"+ you will see how crud it is.

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Jun 21, 2014, 04:38 PMCase in point: blu ray movies take up most of the Blu Ray disc. When you rip a movie you can lower the bitrate to make a smaller file. It's basically the amount of information or detail per second

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 22, 2014, 05:49 PM@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
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...
Quote from: 7H3 on Jun 23, 2014, 01:50 AMI hope so.

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.

Quote from: 7H3 on Jul 01, 2014, 02:02 PMWomen 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

Quote from: Pezus on Jul 01, 2014, 02:19 PMit's hard to explain... males tend to gradually mature, and hold more things as standards that become more defined over time. (those standards can change as well over time) However, females at about 18 ~ 22 start to question their own standards and are more likely to act out differently than one would normally expect based on that females normal actions and attitudes. This also happens again around 27~30 for females. Men have midlife crisis that may be more extreme in some cases, but this happens to females as well basically at those points in time and possibly later as well...

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

Quote from: Xevross on Jul 01, 2014, 02:06 PMI 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).

Quote from: Pezus on Jul 22, 2014, 11:42 AMCause I got it for free lol...No point in buying the PS4 version now.
Why didn't you just wait for the PS4 version? O.o
The performance is still a lot better than in GTAIV
Quote from: Pezus on Jul 22, 2014, 04:34 PMFriend let me log into his acc and I dled it...Gave him TLOU in return.
How did you get it for free?
Well, the PC version then. Mods will change the game.
Quote from: Pezus on Jul 22, 2014, 04:44 PMYeah I've gotten used to them now as well. The missions thus far have been pretty lackluster to be honest, but it's definitely much better than GTA IV where every mission was you going somewhere to kill some dude. GTA V seems to have more variety. Also the city is much more colourful and vibrant, whereas in GTA IV it felt grey and dull most of the time.
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

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.
Quote from: Pezus on Jul 22, 2014, 06:05 PMOn Tuesdays they have cheaper tickets. Plus I'm a scene card member so I get extra discount. In the end it's 6.75 for a ticket which is pretty good considering it's usually 15$ on a regular day.

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Aug 02, 2014, 02:16 AMAhh, you must've like just gotten home then.
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.

Quote from: Pezus on Aug 06, 2014, 05:31 PMI thought death rates were closer to 60% at the moment in Africa. Could very well go up though.
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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 06, 2014, 10:23 PMI've always read this 90% number but haven't really researched it myself. Maybe you're right. Where did you see 60%?
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.
Quote from: Pezus on Aug 06, 2014, 10:29 PM1711 cases, 932 deaths.
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.
Quote from: Pezus on Aug 06, 2014, 10:49 PMThe original outbreak had a 90% fatality rate. A more recent one had a 70%, I still expect this one to go up. Hopefully not too much.
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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 08, 2014, 11:03 PMI read that in Bill's voice
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.

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.

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.
Quote from: Legend on Aug 09, 2014, 03:00 PMHow 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.
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.
Quote from: Insanity on Aug 09, 2014, 03:11 PMThere was nothing wrong with 90% of those jump on posts. They are the result of the attitude kowen had in the thread prior.

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.

Quote from: Insanity on Aug 09, 2014, 03:58 PMI wasn't trying to get any reaction. The reason I wanted that gif to be posted was because of his RESPONSE to after he was called out over his comment he had made months ago. The guy can't handle being wrong actually believes everyone is out to get him, thus me wanting the salty gif to be posted.

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.

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.
Quote from: Insanity on Aug 10, 2014, 03:55 PMLike 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.
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.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Aug 10, 2014, 04:01 PMYoure not getting what im saying. kowenicki did deserve people jumping on him as so many people have had the same treatment in the past for stupid shame they say. What im saying is that users here shouldnt be causing aggro on vgc. Im pretty sure this is a one off and im only here to ask you lot to keep it as a one off.

He deserved it, it's done now. Let's just move on Carl.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Aug 10, 2014, 04:12 PMLike 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.
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.
Quote from: Insanity on Aug 10, 2014, 03:55 PMI 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?

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.

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.

Quote from: 7H3 on Aug 28, 2014, 01:13 PMYou don't really say public school in the UK, its just school. The alternative is private school which you have to pay for
i found it interesting that public school means two completely different things between US and UK
Quote from: 7H3 on Aug 28, 2014, 01:55 PMRight, 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.
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
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 28, 2014, 01:32 AMThe heck? It's both a school and a University...

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

Apparently the necks on their tvs break a lot.

Alright you got me.
All I know is they probably aren't in Iceland.

Quote from: Legend on Sep 10, 2014, 05:34 AMI'm doing something very similar. And by that I mean play testing 4 person splitscreen VizionEck.
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 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.

So my needs are 1080p, 60fps, essentially lossless video and essentially lossless audio. HDMI input and HDMI output right?

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.

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.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 05, 2014, 02:15 AMThis is something that I'm not sure they understand. Or maybe they think that the router speed helps the internet speed. It's not like they are trying to sell anything either. If they honestly believe another store has something better, they tell them to go there.
Yeah but only if they are talking locally right? The internet speed would still be the bottleneck.

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.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 08, 2014, 06:37 PMBecause 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.
Why?

You should be able to force them to secondary.
Also in screen settings you can swap the screens.

I think it depends on what you do with it. If there's a benefit/purpose to it, then yes. If not, probably not.
Quote from: Legend on Oct 09, 2014, 04:27 AMWell then go right ahead!!
Well it already has the points and essentially a mega clan including every player. Yeah I think I could do something cool.

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.

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

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.

Quote from: Xevross on Oct 28, 2014, 05:55 PMThat 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.

@Legend
Could you tell me about coil whine?
Quote from: Legend on Oct 29, 2014, 05:05 PMI know it's BS. :P
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
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Oct 29, 2014, 05:10 PM
I know it's BS. :P
I see lots of people basically say that high frame rates cause coil whine.

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.

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

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.

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!

Quote from: BasilZero on Dec 04, 2014, 04:53 AMIt ended with a cliffhanger? Hmm...Maybe they are trying to tie it up with Cross.
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 :/

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).

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.
Quote from: BasilZero on Dec 10, 2014, 12:38 AMMaybe it was just me then. Because I swear I crashed like 7 times in 5 minutes.
I have four browsers installed on my PC.
Internet Explorer (garbage)
Mozilla Fire Fox (Good)
Google Chrome (Good)
Opera (Garbage)
I've had 20+ tabs on both FireFox and Chrome and I've never had any issues o.O

All in all, I miss high school.

Quote from: Legend on Dec 17, 2014, 10:03 PMThat's why I was wondering.
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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 17, 2014, 08:21 PMDepends really. If you can get a good understanding it is good, but you need to realize that classes won't teach you everything. I had to learn most of what I know on the job.
Would you say Computer Science is difficult?
Quote from: Legend on Dec 17, 2014, 10:15 PMYou are a mind reader!
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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 18, 2014, 02:09 AM
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.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 18, 2014, 03:25 AMYeah, I know. :)
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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 18, 2014, 03:28 AM

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 ;)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 29, 2014, 10:16 PM
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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 01, 2015, 08:14 PMTake management courses instead. You're better off getting your PMP than the dead end of physics.

perhaps do a double major with a MBA?

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. :( )

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.

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.

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 07, 2015, 05:42 PMComplete 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.
Lol, wtf is that?
Looks really weird.

Basically, they are genetically male but look a lot like women. They also develop breasts eventually but have no menstrual cycle.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 12, 2015, 08:49 PMThat's not good. My maths teachers are amazing, wish it was that way for everyone.
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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 13, 2015, 03:58 AMMy math instructor, while I was at teacher's college, would actually teach us activities for the why. Like, he'd have very creative ways to get people to figure out why things are the way they are.
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.

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.

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
Quote from: 7H3 on Feb 24, 2015, 04:32 AM
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?
Quote from: Pezus on Feb 24, 2015, 12:19 PMJust to add to the confusion in an average person's life!

Quote from: Legend on Feb 28, 2015, 05:03 AM"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"
Agreed.

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."

Just donated £20 to comic relief! Feeling pretty good! Are there any fund raising shows like this in America?
Quote from: Legend on Mar 13, 2015, 10:47 PMA 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.
What is comic relief?

Last year they raised £71.8million and are on track to beat that this year
Quote from: Legend on Mar 13, 2015, 11:02 PMThat'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!!
We used to have a lot of telethons kinda like that, but sadly I can't think of any still popular today.
Quote from: Xevross on Mar 13, 2015, 11:04 PMweve 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.

Quote from: Pezus on Apr 09, 2015, 10:43 AMin 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

Quote from: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_DantzigAn 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.

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.

Quote from: Legend on Apr 19, 2015, 11:21 PMI feel like our political system is the one of the only ones that still works well
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 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.

There are just always 2 most dominant.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 20, 2015, 10:30 PMThe president isn't designed to put forward ideas and make bills. It's good that congress holds that power mostly over him. Checks and balances yo.
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

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 20, 2015, 10:40 PMGeneral election every 5 years makes up 650 MPs to represent constituencies. A majority of 326 seats are needed to form a government and once that is formed (either outright majority, coalition or confidence and supply) the prime minister is the leader of the largest party in power.
Thats so weird. :o
What do you mean voting for congress and president separately? How do you guys do it?
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 20, 2015, 10:46 PMThis 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.
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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 20, 2015, 10:54 PMWell both congress and the house of commons represent the population, so the PM is usually the guy who most of the population prefer.
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.

"Hmm I want to change this, where is its code?"
"It must have a text string, let me search for that."
"Found the text, now let me search for where it's called."
"Found the text's location, now let me see where this function is called."

Had this dream that this crooked Walmart person took over my house and made it a store called Wittmans.
Had products downstairs and people would come upstairs to buy them. Things were really creepy.
I was going to tell people on here. The site got updated as the page was loading. Went from the current style to a grid format, 3 by something with 3 across. Lots of people were posting, even people I knew. :o

Quote from: Legend on May 29, 2015, 08:46 PMYes 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.

Quote from: Raven on May 31, 2015, 10:04 PMThe 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.Pretty much how i feel. I'm having a hard time figuring out the point to most of their design ideas. The controller is to clicky for my

Yeah, I'm sure there's even a bunch that I could just download and use.
But I'm having fun breaking it down.
It's hard because there's a lot to consider, like checking between
sin(2pi)^2 and sin(2pi)*2
A lot of functions and have to be sure they are done in the right order so things don't go out the window.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 14, 2015, 11:11 AMA 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

To get from east to west coast is ~40 hour drive.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 21, 2015, 07:24 PMIf 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 21, 2015, 07:02 PMMy 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.
Quote from: Xevross on Jun 21, 2015, 08:56 PMI 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 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

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.
Quote from: NotBananaKing on Jul 12, 2015, 10:54 AMVan 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
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 12, 2015, 10:59 AMYou 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.
Quote from: NotBananaKing on Jul 12, 2015, 11:12 AMafter 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.
Quote from: NotBananaKing on Jul 12, 2015, 10:54 AMVan 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.

The goal now is to be contenders for the premier league title. Rebuilding takes time.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 12, 2015, 12:13 PMLol. 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.

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.

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.

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.Why didn't WW do that in BB then?? lol

Quote from: Aura7541 on Aug 22, 2015, 03:18 AMSo why is GAF so against GamerGate...?It's because the crazies/extreme members of GamerGate are completely delusional.
Quote from: Legend on Aug 22, 2015, 05:50 AMIt'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.

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
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 22, 2015, 06:30 AMCan 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.

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.

Quote from: 7H3 on Aug 22, 2015, 07:27 PMAnita 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....
Quote from: Aura7541 on Aug 22, 2015, 06:45 PMStarted 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):
Quote from: Legend on Aug 22, 2015, 08:00 PMStarted 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.

Quote from: Legend on Aug 22, 2015, 09:10 PMNo 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.

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
Quote from: Legend on Aug 22, 2015, 10:04 PMI 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 ;)

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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 27, 2015, 04:38 PMGame 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)

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)
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Aug 28, 2015, 01:22 PMThe only problem with that is that I don't think opinions are that predictable
Quote from: 7H3 on Aug 28, 2015, 01:37 PMnot 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

Quote from: 7H3 on Aug 29, 2015, 12:36 AMwell 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
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Aug 29, 2015, 01:06 AMPersonally 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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 29, 2015, 01:48 AMThe 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.

Quote from: Legend on Aug 29, 2015, 09:39 PMYou'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."

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.

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.

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.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Sep 15, 2015, 07:53 PMHow 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.

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.

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

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

Quote from: 7H3 on Sep 18, 2015, 10:46 PMmainstream 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...
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.
Quote from: 7H3 on Sep 18, 2015, 11:35 PMyeah 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!
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Sep 19, 2015, 01:31 PMImo 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.

Quote from: Xevross on Oct 25, 2015, 03:49 PMHow 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.
Quote from: Xevross on Oct 27, 2015, 02:28 PMThat'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.

Quote from: Aura7541 on Oct 29, 2015, 12:29 AMWhat 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.

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 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.

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.

QuoteTwo hundred years ago a writer in the London newspaper The Times would have agreed with you...
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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 29, 2015, 12:18 AMA great girlfriend is your closest friend.Finding one is the hard part...I always have a scenario in my head as to how I'm going to ask a girl at work that I like how their day was...How they're liking their job etc.

Then in reality our conversation goes something like:
Her - Hi
Me - Hey
...And we sit in the break room saying nothing for the remaining 20 minutes. =/
Edit - And if a girl asks me what I like to do for fun what do I say? I sit at home all day playing video games and browsing gaming sites because I have no friends?

What is important is getting to know her interests. Let her do the talking, many girls love that. Then just add in a bit between her talk

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.
Quote from: Raven on Nov 29, 2015, 12:57 AMAnother 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.

No one said you had to go, "DURRRRR I PLAY GAEMZORZ WILL YOU DATE MEH!?!?!?!?"

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.

Quote from: Xevross on Dec 03, 2015, 11:48 PMA 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.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Dec 03, 2015, 11:55 PMWhy 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.

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

QuoteThe 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!"
QuoteIn 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.

Not sure how accurate this one is though.
Quote from: Xevross on Dec 06, 2015, 11:01 PMInteresting, I'd say even without America Germany would have lost. Russia proved to be too powerfulHere's another one!
QuoteThe 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 06, 2015, 11:04 PMHere'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.

QuoteA liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, a known atheist.
"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.

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.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Dec 08, 2015, 06:10 PMSure, 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.

Basically they make the visas so hard to get it might as well be a ban.There's a lot of Filipino immigrants, and it sounds like the yes/no is random for deciding who comes in.
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.

QuoteI've never understood why British food is maligned. French food, I could understand - it's usually a tiny serving of a poor cut of meat drowned in enough cream to hide the poor quality, with an asparagus stuck on top. 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.
Episode 1:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Y1...nnel=Skythikon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Y1d4a4r-Q&channel=Skythikon)
Episode 2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_bI...nnel=Skythikon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_bI2pXRY4Q&channel=Skythikon)
Episode 3:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZWE...annel=Ilanna22 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZWE-5CeJbg&channel=Ilanna22)
Episode 4:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Yl...annel=Zhurka75 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4YlSagtGNQ&channel=Zhurka75)

I don't know any other way to access this show, paid or not so here are fansubs. If anyone wants me to remove it, I will gladly.

Quote from: Aura7541 on Jan 06, 2016, 12:34 AMNews 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 06, 2016, 12:37 AMI don't think that's what all shooters are after.Cracking down on bullying would probably do more than making even more gun laws.
Some of them are depressed, the only thing they are after is getting back at other people.
I think the number of shooters who are after some sort of 'glory' is actually quite small.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 06, 2016, 12:37 AMI 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.

QuoteIn 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.
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

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 19, 2016, 08:12 PMYou 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!
Quote from: Legend on Feb 19, 2016, 08:13 PMYAY!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.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Feb 20, 2016, 02:25 AMSounds 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.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 20, 2016, 10:39 AMYeah 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.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 20, 2016, 12:16 PMFrom 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.

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.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 02, 2016, 02:54 AMWhy does it say high school?It sounds like several teachers took questions from a joke test.
QuoteIn 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?
QuoteThose 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.

Also, Vermont has the least restrictive gun laws, but it has the least gun murders per capita in the US.

Quote from: Xevross on Jun 13, 2016, 11:15 AMI 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.
(http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/134DB/production/_85876097_homicides_guns_624_v3.png)
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.
I've always wanted to live in America, at least for a few years, but its stuff like this which really puts me off.

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.Yeah I agree with you here. 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.
Quote from: Xevross on Jun 13, 2016, 11:15 AMI 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.
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.
I've always wanted to live in America, at least for a few years, but its stuff like this which really puts me off.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 19, 2016, 06:22 PMSo today, people decide that "single mothers" should get a special mention on father's day.Who said that?
Okay, but where were the mentions of "single fathers" on mother's day? I haven't even seen a single mention today about single fathers.
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.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jun 23, 2016, 03:27 PMWhy 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.

Quote from: Raven on Jun 24, 2016, 04:13 AMThe 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).

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.

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
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 03, 2016, 09:17 PMSrsly 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
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 03, 2016, 09:19 PMYeah 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.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 12, 2016, 04:47 PMWhy?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.

Iceland, Germany, and a few others have some of the highest rates in the world with about 30 guns per 100 people.

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.

QuoteI know it has happened at least twice. To me and another user.
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?
QuoteThe 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.

QuoteThe 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! Even if the video is fake, it might be highly disturbing for some to watch!

QuoteHello 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.

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.
Quote from: Xevross on Nov 24, 2016, 01:49 AMWhite 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.

Quote from: Xevross on Nov 24, 2016, 02:09 AMThis 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.I think it'll get better in the next 10 years.

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.

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.

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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 08, 2017, 11:14 PMIt 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.

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.

Quote from: Xevross on May 21, 2017, 01:12 PMThis 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 21, 2017, 02:29 PMBaby 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.

Quote from: Raven on May 23, 2017, 01:38 PMOh 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.
Quote from: DerNebel on May 23, 2017, 01:44 PMSo 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?

Quote from: DerNebel on May 23, 2017, 01:59 PMSure 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.
Quote from: Xevross on May 26, 2017, 10:14 PMIts 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.

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.

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.

QuoteLost 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.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/)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 04, 2017, 08:05 PMIs 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".

Quote from: Aura7541 on Jul 04, 2017, 09:06 PMThere'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."

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.

Quote from: Cute Pikachu on Jul 18, 2017, 03:26 PMLol 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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 27, 2017, 02:05 PMSometimes 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.

They often coincide with the story leaving out information but for me they're separate things.

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)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 09, 2018, 04:40 PMWell 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". Salmann Tamimi, president of the Muslim Association of Iceland, described the proposal as an "attack on religion".Click to expand...QuoteCircumcising girls has been illegal in Iceland since 2005, but there are currently no laws to regulate the practice against boys. 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". Young men would be given the opportunity to decide for themselves once they reached the age of consent.Click to expand...QuoteMale circumcision is one of the most common surgical procedures in the world, with one recent study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4772313/) estimating that around 38 per cent of men globally have undergone the procedure. 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. That comes first, and before the religious rights of the adult.

"The body parts are different, the procedures are different, but in both cases they can be lethal and harmful to the child," she said.Guidance issued in 2013 (http://lapsiasia.fi/en/tata-mielta/aloitteet/aloitteet-2013/joint-statement-from-the-nordic-ombudsmen-for-children-and-pediatric-experts/) by the Nordic Ombudsmen for Children and paediatric experts concluded that "there are no health-related grounds to circumcise young boys in the Nordic countries". According to the paper, the procedure "violates fundamental medical-ethical principles, not least because the procedure is irreversible, painful and may cause serious complications".Click to expand...QuoteThe legislation has been debated once in the Icelandic parliament and will go through several stages of discussion and consultation before it could become law.

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 20, 2018, 12:59 PMWas 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.
QuoteNeonatal 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. The practice is so widespread, in fact, that one study of 90 active American medical textbooks and models found that less than a third featured a lollipop with foreskin intact
Most Americans assume the practice is medically useful, like a vaccination.

Quote from: Dr. Pez on Mar 07, 2018, 08:28 PMWhy 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.

Once again Scandanavian countries dominate the happiest countries study. 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

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.

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."

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.

Quote.. 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?

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...

That being said, I do make sure to shower at least every other day, just because of hair and general cleanliness.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 04, 2018, 09:37 PMI 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.

Wtf Sweden
Just 21 pts from the public?
While Denmark got something like 150 lol

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.

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.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 13, 2018, 12:55 AMDid 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.

QuoteTycho 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.

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.

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.

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

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

Quote from: nnodley on Jul 02, 2018, 12:14 AMYeah 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.
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 02, 2018, 12:49 AMHe 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.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 13, 2018, 05:08 PMI'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.
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 13, 2018, 06:27 PM60mph 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.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 13, 2018, 07:01 PMI 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.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 13, 2018, 04:44 PMTo me 100 seems like your going fast. You must like going fast with out the risk.Obviously. Bigger numbers are better!

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.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 17, 2018, 05:10 PMIs 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.

Meanwhile monty hall can work in real life.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 21, 2018, 05:01 PMThis 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.

Quote from: Xevross on Aug 05, 2018, 01:51 PMI'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.

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...

Martin on Winds of Winter: "I Wish I'd Been Done 4 Years Ago" - IGN (https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/09/20/george-rr-martin-on-winds-of-winter-i-wish-id-been-done-4-years-ago)Without a doubt the show and it's popularity has slowed him down. 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
LOL! I'm sure your fans would have loved for it to be done 4 years ago as well, GEORGE!!
QuoteIn 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.

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'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.

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.

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"

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.

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. ::)

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?

QuoteI 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?
Quote from: Xevross on Jan 22, 2019, 10:17 AMWhy does Canada lag so far behind Europe in terms of required paid vacation days for employees?

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?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 22, 2019, 11:58 AMPaid 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.

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.

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 .

Karma is real
QuoteIt 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.
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.

I mostly use chrome but tried switching to firefox since chrome is getting shaming with spyware and blocking adblocking etc. but dang firefox feels so shame compared to chrome. Its not anything major either, its just a few small things that disrupt the experience that jusrt add up to be annoying. Chrome is just so smooth and works amazingly but firefox pisses me off all the time ;D
Might try a different chromium browser like ... edge... I guess.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 02, 2019, 10:06 PMHuh. 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 02, 2019, 11:09 PMI 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 05, 2019, 05:50 PMThis 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....

Quote from: Legend on Aug 09, 2019, 11:55 PMDrivers 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 10, 2019, 12:20 AMDriving 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.
Quote from: nnodley on Aug 10, 2019, 12:38 AMI'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.

My oneplus 6 which I got for way less than half of that price over a year ago is functionally mostly the same for 90% of what phones are used for. That's why I'll never buy an iphone, its ridiculous.

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.

A lot of the electronics that the store uses are pretty old.
My store literally had an old monitor (natural reference picture ;D )

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.

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.

- 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)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Oct 06, 2020, 08:14 PMI 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.

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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 17, 2021, 07:21 PMI'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.
Quote from: kitler53 on Jul 18, 2021, 01:12 AMbatteries are terrible for the environment to make and recycle.
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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 18, 2021, 02:07 AM... 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.
QuoteCan I use a normal 110 volt outlet to charge?
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).
Quote from: kitler53 on Jul 18, 2021, 03:42 AMi 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.

QuoteHis 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.
QuoteIn 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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Oct 27, 2021, 03:46 PMI 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.
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.

Tom Scott has a video where he basically puts up science fiction ideas he's had. He puts a disclaimer that you're free to use these ideas for non-commercial stuff, commercial stuff he wants it optioned.
But to be honest, I feel like the ideas are too generic that he wouldn't be able to follow up on that....
Quote from: Legend on Mar 15, 2022, 06:29 AMAll his ideas focus on the negatives of a sci fi future. It's sad that most sci fi atm is dystopian instead of hopeful like star trek.I have a story concept, that I might want to write some day. I want to write an everything went right version, and an everything went wrong version.
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.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 19, 2022, 08:50 PMHave 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.

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.

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)
Quotethe 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.
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.

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.

There are certain protected classes like race, naughtiness, etc. But aside from those things, you can fire anyone for any reason.

Quote from: kitler53 on Jan 27, 2023, 11:17 PMthis is soo wrong at least here in america. part of my onboarding training was a section specifically on how conduct in my personal life can reflect poorly on the company. the quote was something like no headline will read "some guy did a thing" it will read "GE employee did a thing. i was not instructed on what i could or could not do but i was told quite flat out that any conduct that brings negative attention to the company will result in my firing.A persons personal life shouldn't have to anything to do with work. But as Pi pointed out to me, most if not all companies in the US use at will employment. So my original point of her suing her previous employers for millions seems unrealistic now.

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.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 19, 2023, 06:06 PMI'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

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 19, 2023, 09:52 PMMy 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.

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.

You can add subtitles or fix audio delays.
Quote from: Legend on Aug 15, 2023, 05:26 AMHow 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

QuoteQuoteThat's all you guys talk about are Movies on 4K Disc, because most of you don't have good Solid Fiber Streaming. So your Streaming is very weak and poor, but there are a lot of good Streaming options. Amazon Prime, ATV+, and Netflix have been putting out some very good Movies and TV Series...I'm just pointing them out!
I have fiber internet, and get 400Mbps download and upload.
None of these streamers will provide you anything close to even 50 Mbps. This is an issue on their end. They intentionally limit bitrates. I don't even think they provide 30 Mbps most of the time.
Bravia Core from what I understand is the best at up to 80 Mbps. Although I haven't used it myself, and I'm not sure how frequently it gets there.
A number of 4k discs will go up to 150 Mbps in short bursts. The highest that I have currently for an average is about 110 for Groundhog day, although that includes all the different audio streams.
The highest average bitrate for video I have is Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio at 95 Mbps.QuoteYou always lower yourself to name calling just because I prefer Streaming instead of Discs. My Symmetrical testing is below, with the setup I have the Streaming Picture and Sound Quality is very good. Even though WiFi gives me Pixelation on rare occasions!QuoteYour Test HistoryPeople shouldn't be name calling for having different preferences, if that's what is happening.
Date Download Speed Upload Speed Latency (Ping)
8/17/2024 1:42pm 90.30 Mbps 93.04 Mbps 42 ms
8/17/2024 1:42pm 92.22 Mbps 92.57 Mbps 43 ms
8/17/2024 1:41pm 90.77 Mbps 92.78 Mbps 34 ms
If you really wanted the best streaming experience, what you would need is better internet (optional for remote access) a better router or wired preferably, and plex/jellyfin and rip 4k discs.
That's assuming someone is most interested in getting the best quality.
Overall though, no matter how someone watches their movies and TV shows, there is always going to be some kind of compromise. Whether it's quality, cost or availability.
Availability: There's plenty of stuff that's not on disc obviously. There's also stuff that's not streaming anywhere. And you can pay more for more streaming services to get access to more shows/movies. Discs will obviously tend to be for slightly older shows. But we also are able to keep discs, whereas a lot of streaming shows get rotated.
Quality: Obviously this will vary per person and per content. Different people care about different video issues. Like I think I care more about aliasing issues, whereas if things are colored a little bit wrong, I'm probably not going to notice as much. I like to have the best versions, but there's definitely things I wouldn't notice.
Personally there are times where I think streaming looks fine, and there are times where I notice crushed blacks that I just haven't seen while watching 4k discs.
Cost: A single streaming service is pretty cheap, but if it doesn't have what you want, that might mean buying from Apple TV+ or subscribing to another service.
All of these factors are dependent on what matters to you as a viewer.
If you're someone who like to watch Breaking Bad 15 times a year at home, buying the discs is going to be pretty cheap, and high quality.
If you're someone who likes to watch a brand new movie every single night, and you don't care about quality too much, then streaming services just can't be beat. Unless you're reasonably wealthy and really want a giant shelf full of movies you never watch again.
If you're someone who wants to watch their favorite movies at the absolute best quality, then you're going to need to get those on 4k discs. Maybe that will change in the future.
Everyone is different. Most people seem to be pretty content with the quality and access that streaming services provide, and that's totally good for them, especially because it's pretty affordable for most people.

Quote from: kitler53 on Dec 22, 2024, 07:48 PMi need more than just an abort button.All self driving cars have remote humans that assist if the car ever gets confused. The san fran company was waymo or cruise, here is a vid showing how that is supposed to be solved now.
remember those cabs in san fransico where dozens got piled up and they couldn't figure out (automatcially) what to do? What I mean is a will demand I can put a car into a human driving mode when I want to to deal with those situation where the car is too much of an inbasicle to manage the situation.
I'm probably fine turning on an automatic mode on a freeway in perfect weather in the mid-day hours on an uncrowded travel time. an automatic driving mode for long car trips (like when i road tripped to yellowstone this summer) is probably awesome.
...but what what happened on my actual trip to yellowstone this summer where flash flooding closed the freeway while i was driving on it and the only sign of the road closure was a police officer waving at me from the side of the road. hell no do i trust automated drivers to handle this situation.
...but what about my trip to downtown chicago traffic in the snow to do the holiday lighting festival where lots streets are closed or disobeying typical traffic laws (a one-way street reversed) all the while hundreds of people are jay walking?? hell no do i trust automated drivers to handle this situation.
...but what about when i go camping with the boy scouts or when i cut down my christmas tree each year or when i park at the renaissance festival and i'm required to drive though a field that is in fact not actually a road? hell no do i trust automated drivers to handle this situation.
i need to be able to drive the car like a car as I do today or I will not buy it. even if the situations are few and far between i'm not buying a car that will leave me stranded 3 times a year because the tech can't adapt to a complex and uncommon situation.
...in case i wasn't clear i'm specifically talking to your "has no steering wheel or peddles" part of your post.

We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.

Fortune published an article based on false information I sent them from an anonymous email address.
They didn’t even bother to verify the details.

Quote from: kitler53 on Jan 23, 2025, 10:02 PMi did a rodeo on the way to yellowstone.
this kid that was probably 10 rode a bull. the kid got flung off and the bull stomped on his head. the kid stood up for half a second and than collapsed. two men picked up his limp and obviously unconscious body and drug him off the field while the announcer declared how great of a showing this was and something about how jesus would be proud.
i don't feel like ever going to a rodeo again..

By far the cheapest flight to Rome (sister's wedding is in Tuscany).
But the crazy thing is that I set up a 22 hour layover in Istanbul so I could visit a new country. And Turkish airlines will provide a "4 star" hotel for free. Might not actually be that great of a hotel, but still easily saving a few hundred bucks.
Hope this isn't too good to be true.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 30, 2025, 04:19 AMIt's always a tad frustrating when you have issues with something and can't Google it.Google has really gone down in quality from my experience.
Ben is playing Minecraft and for some reason the in-game option to delete mass worlds is missing. And I can't find anything about it through google. Found out you can delete through the save management on the system level.
Had a separate issue with a floor cleaner a few months ago, where it wouldn't turn off. And when googling basically all of the results were help with when it won't turn on.
So that was goofy.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 12, 2025, 02:26 AMAmazon is kind of frustrating.How would only two episodes fail?
I bought Doctor Who Seasons 1-4, two of the episodes won't rip.
Trying to get a new set, but for some reason Amazon doesn't offer an exchange for the same item. The exchange option gives you a bunch of different shows you can exchange it for. Which isn't super helpful.
Quote from: Legend on Apr 12, 2025, 06:58 AMHow would only two episodes fail?I feel like I need to give some context, overall I'd say that like 98% of discs work fine. 1% of the time I will try a disc in one drive like 5x and not work, but then it'll rip just fine with my other drive.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 12, 2025, 11:11 PMI have to make 3 returns this week.My family lives off returns. Literally just helped my sister return a dress to amazon.
I ordered the wrong thing from Gruv (Universal Studio's store), and I immediately realized it and emailed them literally 9 minutes after the order was made. It was too late, because the order was already processed.
Another item in that order though, was a trilogy that was missing the second movie.
Also ordered a used series from amazon, that for some reason came with two disc 2s, and no disc 1.
Gruv is really great though, they're letting me keep the two movies, and sending a replacement.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 05, 2025, 09:32 PMWow!yeah i have an old ethernet cable from when we first got google wifi extenders like a decade ago. So they definitely aren't capable of those speeds when wired.
I need to upgrade my ethernet cables. I only get 1GB.
Of course for downloading video games the servers never work that fast.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 09, 2025, 01:16 PMA reddit post is making me think of how confusing a lot of the time travel jargon is.Alternate timeline, from my movie watching perspective, is where a small change makes big changes. Diverges and stays diverging
"Alternate timeline" is probably most often used in a multiverse setting, where there are multiple different versions of everything. And multiverses often are effectively treated as alternate timelines that diverged because of different reasons.
I think they are distinct concepts, but there are plenty of instances where the writer says one but means the other.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 09, 2025, 01:54 PMAlternate timeline, from my movie watching perspective, is where a small change makes big changes. Diverges and stays divergingMaybe my verbiage is off too. Different kinds of multiverses ideas make it messy without more context.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 09, 2025, 01:54 PMMultiverse is where everything follows the same script but it has superficial changes. Stays parallel.I was also thinking about how this feels funny to me.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 09, 2025, 05:08 PMI asked Copilot for some more examples. Parallels (Star Trek: The Next Generation) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallels_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation))Yeah the multiverse is really stupid if you try to apply logic.
From the description here too, it sounds like they're conflating the two as well. They're talking about multiple universes, yet they refer to them as timelines.
I think that could be rather confusing.
I was also thinking about how this feels funny to me.
A lot of the time, they make a big deal about how infinite universes exist and all possibilities exist - and yet most of the time they stick with the stories where there are only really superficial changes.

I don't know enough about the Stop Killing Games initiative to have a strong opinion. It sounds like a good pro-consumer idea, but I'm not sure about the specifics.
But I'm a little sad that a YouTuber that I liked for a little while, has turned out to be so poorly executed.
