| Topic | man, walmart clearance is the cats pajamas |
| Sahuagin 06/04/18 11:44:27 PM #8 | helIy posted... I got a 30ft cat6 ethernet cable for $3 definite good price. if you aren't aware, note that monoprice.com regular price for 30 feet of cat6 is about $5 (with regular ~20% off sales which would make it $4 (not 100% sure sales apply to cables though)). additionally you can make your own 30 foot cables for about $2.70, not including crimping tool, ends, and time. --- |

| Sahuagin 06/04/18 3:08:16 AM #12 | rounding, a gallon is ~3.8 litres a quart is ~0.95 litres (as indicated by the images you posted) 0.95 * 4 = 3.8 --- |

| Topic | Rosanne might be coming back yet again, without Rosanne |
| Sahuagin 06/03/18 3:23:45 PM #32 | Mead posted... What else could she have possibly meant? What other reason would there have been for her to bring up The Planet of the Apes? a general similarity in appearance. the reason I suspect this is that I know I could easily make the same kind of mistake. also, there are ways of saying "you're just an <adjective> <racial slur>" that are clearly offensive, but this isn't one. it's only being interpreted racially, but doesn't have to be. again, maybe even without the racial part, it's still bad enough just to mock someone's appearance like this. --- |
| Topic | Rosanne might be coming back yet again, without Rosanne |
| Sahuagin 06/03/18 3:07:42 PM #30 | Mead posted... No one is debating whether her tweet was appropriate, because it plain as day was not, was incredibly and needlessly offensive. She herself has made this clear after apologizing. personally I'm doubtful whether she meant it that way. can't know for sure, but I have a feeling she didn't realize the racial interpretation of what she was saying. (I guess though, even if it weren't racial, publicly insulting someone's appearance just because you disagree with them is still pretty low.) --- |
| Topic | Lease or buy a car? |
| Sahuagin 06/03/18 11:14:41 AM #19 | Mead posted... I prefer leasing since you still build equity reading about it, it sounds like the only equity is if you happen to drive it less than predicted. you aren't "building equity" with your payments, it's all about how much you drove it. --- |
| Topic | John Goodman looks FURIOUS after hearing Roseanne got CANCELLED!!! |
| Sahuagin 06/02/18 12:28:42 AM #26 | can't know for sure, but I really doubt she meant it racistly. I think probably she thought they looked similar and didn't think of the racial part. --- |
| Topic | When is SBAllen going to come out and admit that flairs are a failure |
| Sahuagin 06/01/18 11:34:04 PM #8 | I don't get it either. there's a million things they could be doing, and that's what they pick? and that's how they implement it? why even bother? they must have to justify someone's salary or something. --- |
| Topic | Do you enjoy bloodshed in video games? |
| Sahuagin 06/01/18 11:31:33 PM #24 | a violent game can be fun, and it can be fun to some degree because of the violence (doom), but it's just one of many different kinds of fun. Far-Queue posted... When things venture into the area of torture or overly sadistic violence it can become uncomfortable. agreed, and I think that's because "blood and guts" is not actually the problem with violence. the problem with violence is suffering, not the way it happens to look. --- |
| Topic | Have you ever met a famous person? |

| Topic | How are the painted lines on your streets? |
| Sahuagin 05/30/18 2:16:45 AM #7 | they actually seem to paint the roads surprisingly frequently here. what they don't do often enough is repave the road or fix potholes. --- |

| Sahuagin 05/29/18 11:11:37 PM #21 | helIy posted... I definitely have a screwdriver and bits that are a triangle shape I can see that they exist, but are they common? where can you use them? are they actually good? --- |

| Topic | How do you prefer to screw? |
| Sahuagin 05/29/18 11:00:36 PM #16 | If I had a choice, robertson, but for some reason almost everything is phillips or slot. I always wonder why there's no triangle, or maybe deep slotted, screwdriver bit. the two most common are the two easiest to slip, but it doesn't have to be that way. thinking about it, I guess it probably has to do with the mass of the head or something. something like robertson probably requires a relatively deep head, which works if you can drive it into wood, but not metal. something like slot requires the least massive head, I guess. --- |
| Topic | bethesda teasing some something related to fallout. |
| Sahuagin 05/29/18 10:15:38 PM #23 | TES_Nut posted... That's why NV is better than 3 NV is "better" but that doesn't necessarily translate to funner. it's mostly subjective, but there's a lot more that's fun about Fallout 3 than NV, even if NV is better designed from top to bottom and F3 is broken in as many ways as you'd expect from a Beth game. neither is perfect, but F3 manages to be extremely fun despite its flaws, and NV manages not to be fun despite its clearly superior design. --- |
| Topic | Ireland legalized abortion |
| Sahuagin 05/29/18 10:06:52 PM #37 | adjl posted... *Moonwalks out of topic* Made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural. artificial should be in contrast to something non-artificial. normal human reproduction is natural. artificial would mean that human consciousness has intervened in the normal process and done something different. hence the term artificial insemination (which is in contrast with natural insemination). --- |

| Sahuagin 05/29/18 11:12:49 AM #26 | adjl posted... Is it murder to take somebody off life support? it can be, can't it? the distinction here is that no one has a right to use your body for life support. --- |

| Topic | Do you support Coke Freestyle? |
| Sahuagin 05/25/18 10:06:45 PM #54 | Chewster posted... Do they have a Pepsi version? I was kind of wondering when Pepsi would do something like that, considering that Coke has had it for a while now. I'd try it even though I don't like Pepsi I can now confirm that yes it was Pepsi. I could choose Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew, and some others I don't remember. Upon choosing Diet Pepsi I could choose Regular, Cherry, Vanilla, Strawberry, or Lemon. --- |

| Sahuagin 05/25/18 10:46:11 AM #23 | Yellow posted... I giggle every time. why? especially if you "only know SQL and some basic HTML". but I minimize the ASP part down to basically a single div and a bunch of page methods (basically ajax wrappers) and I construct the entire webpage at runtime from typescript/jquery/javascript --- |

| Topic | Trying to learn more web design skills. Any suggestions? |
| Sahuagin 05/24/18 11:33:40 PM #6 | I don't think I can help much since I work at a much lower level than you're probably looking for, but I can't resist barfing all my "advice" out anyway... the hard part would be deciding on the backend. I use ASP.NET so C#/SQL Server. I'm not 100% sure of the alternatives. PHP and Node.js are two of the main ones, I think, but I have little experience with them. I tend to try to write client-side applications, so most of my skills are on the front-end programming. for the front end, obviously it's HTML + CSS + JavaScript. And then I recommend LESS for CSS, and TypeScript + JQuery/JQueryUI for JavaScript. Angular and I think React are other front-end related frameworks, but I have yet to get into them. (LESS 'transpiles' to CSS, and improves on a lot of the problems with CSS. TypeScript transpiles to JavaScript, giving it strong typing and probably the single best static type system in any language in the world. JQuery is a JavaScript framework that allows you to manipulate and query the DOM (HTML) in a much more convenient fashion than in pure JavaScript. In particular you can use CSS selectors as queries. $(".someClass") finds all elements with a particular class, for example. JQueryUI is an extension of JQuery that adds some very nice user interface controls and styling.) For learning JavaScript, I recommend the lectures by Douglas Crockford. I had been trying to learn web programming *forever* and watching these, everything finally clicked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ifWcnQs6M&list=PL5586336C26BDB324 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxAXlJEmNMg&list=PL7664379246A246CB Warning: Crockford is extremely opinionated and is probably wrong about a lot of things (opinions), but he gives a really efficient and thorough explanation of pretty much every nuance of JavaScript programming. --- |

| Topic | Which of these badass movies do you like the most? |
| Sahuagin 05/24/18 1:28:54 AM #25 | Terminator 2: Judgement Day > Predator > Robocop honestly, those three are essentially flawless and probably the best action movies that will ever be made the rest are good, but not quite that high on my list --- |
| Topic | Lately I've been thinking... |
| Sahuagin 05/24/18 12:05:34 AM #10 | if that were true then "killing" a zombie or skeleton should result in a fight against a ghost they're considered different things because they require different tactics. depends on the game but often something like: all vulnerable to holy/light/anti-undead all resistant or immune to cold all immune to poison and death/dark zombies: resistant to physical, vulnerable to fire, slow and awkward skeleton: resistant to piercing and slashing, vulnerable to crushing, relatively fast and agile, often wears armor ghost: very resistant or immune to physical; often has magical attacks and requires magical damage to kill also, zombies and skeletons would be animated, whereas ghosts would be actual spirits. they're actually kind of opposites. zombies are animated bodies without spirits; ghosts are disembodied spirits. --- |

| Topic | Do you support Coke Freestyle? |
| Sahuagin 05/22/18 8:49:33 PM #48 | Chewster posted... Do they have a Pepsi version? I was kind of wondering when Pepsi would do something like that, considering that Coke has had it for a while now. I'd try it even though I don't like Pepsi I guess I can't remember for sure. If I look up whether Subway is Coke or Pepsi, I get Coke, but then it also says that Papa John's is Coke, but I know the Papa John's near here is Pepsi, I'm drinking a Pepsi from them right now. So I won't know for sure till I go back there if ever I do. --- |
| Topic | Do you support Coke Freestyle? |
| Sahuagin 05/22/18 4:02:50 PM #43 | I think I saw the Pepsi version of this at Subway. The cashier didn't say anything about how it worked, I just paid for a drink and got nothing, I was so confused. She didn't even point towards the machine or anything. Once I figured it out it was kind of neat. I liked that I could fill up with pop and not ice for one thing. --- |
| Topic | A gif of an actual comet. It's pretty cool. |
| Sahuagin 05/22/18 1:01:59 AM #7 | it's cool but there's not a lot to say it looks like the worlds worst stop-motion animation, of... some barren terrain if someone cleans it up a bit, so you can see the stars in the background, it goes a bit slower, maybe interpolate it a bit? maybe it could look pretty awesome. maybe not though, since there's not really that many frames to work with. --- |
| Topic | four monitors? |
| Sahuagin 05/21/18 1:47:24 AM #16 | Chewster posted... Sahuagin, it's not like you need to look at all those things at the same time... right? Sounds pretty intense anyway. Is that your work setup or you do all that at home too? that's work. at home I have only 2 right now, but would prefer at least 3. at home (and when not working) it's at most some combination of email, internet, game, and video. 2 is pretty limiting. 3 enables email, video, and game all at once, which is nice. it is hard to think of a use for a fourth monitor without working. --- |

| Topic | four monitors? |
| Sahuagin 05/20/18 11:58:33 AM #6 | trodi_911 posted... What you even need 4 monitors for is beyond me usually mine only just start off like monitoring, email, main code window, and internet (from left to right). but there's still other things needed as the day goes on: program being tested, secondary code window, call stack/stack trace, debug output, performance or memory profiling results, SQL server, MySQL workbench, netbeans, remoting windows, windows explorer/command line windows, etc.etc. basically, the more monitors the better. even the difference between 3 and 4 is painfully noticeable when you don't have that 4th screen to place things. --- |

| Topic | Is it true that most girls think a lot of guys are ugly? |
| Sahuagin 05/17/18 10:56:55 PM #44 | jramirez23 posted... What are you trying to say? lmao funny video aside, you can tell biologically that women reproduce successfully at twice the rate of men. so, as women's reproductive rate approaches 100%, men's only approaches 50%. thinking about it, though, it would still be a leap to say that that is necessarily because women are picky. I think it could even just as easily be because men are picky. also men's chance of early death being astronomically higher probably has a lot to do with it as well. --- |
| Topic | Do you watch streamers? |
| Sahuagin 05/17/18 12:45:30 PM #19 | only if they're really interesting people and have really good taste in games. quill18 mostly. it's actually somewhat handy since they'll introduce you to games that you might not have heard of or would otherwise not know to try, but seeing them play it, you can get a sense of how interesting and deep the game is and whether you should get it. I can't remember but I think it must have been Gastroid that showed me quill18. --- |
| Topic | Is it true that most girls think a lot of guys are ugly? |
| Sahuagin 05/16/18 10:59:49 PM #24 | women are picky maters. you can measure biologically that as women's chance of procreating approaches 100%, men's only approaches 50%. (that is: whatever women's chance is, men's is half of it.) not sure if that still holds in the present day, but it's at least written into our biological history. --- |
