Q: How close am I to earning the Gonna Find Out hat?

Per the answer to Winter Bash 2018 Hat list, it takes 150 votes to earn the Gonna Find Out hat. I have voted more than 150 times on this site alone, so I assume that I must vote 150 times during Winter Bash to earn the hat. And if my assumption is correct... How do I find out how close I am to ...

@ShadowWizard yeah, saw that one. It kinda inspired mine :*

:)

@YvetteColomb just don't do anything crazy, people still need you... here and IRL. Good luck with your impossible mission to stop it, you get my virtual blessing. :)

8:48 AM

@ShadowWizard ^^"

user310756

@ShadowWizard oh god no. I'm not going onto the army base. During an aerial culling. With armed helicopters letting off automatic rifle fire into the scrub

@YvetteColomb glad to hear. :)

9:05 AM

@ShadowWizard running towards guns is generally a bad idea anyways :*

@SmokeDetector k

@PrincessLuna well... activists are sometimes blinded by their agony/rage and do stupid things, like getting themselves suspended from Q&A networks. o.o

So...

!!/amiprivileged

@PrincessLuna ✓ You are a privileged user.

Huh, look at that

Journeyman Geek

@PrincessLuna I read that as nuns...

9:09 AM

@PrincessLuna "k" is "tpu-" i.e. silent, no reply from Smokey

@ShadowWizard yyeeeaaah, but getting suspended is very different from running to literal guns

@ShadowWizard I know, but I thought I only had privileges in SOBotics and CHQ

Journeyman Geek

@YvetteColomb your government's idea on population management of introduced species is shitty :/

@PrincessLuna not sure. In the state of mind leading to posting bad things, some might do stupid things IRL too.

@ShadowWizard but rarely stuff like that. If there's a fighting chance? Sure. But from aerial weapons? Doubt it

May 1 at 9:32, by Princess Luna

I have code privileges

9:12 AM

@ShadowWizard yes, but I still don't have per-room privs automatically

@PrincessLuna one can always grab a gun and try to shoot down the aerial weapons.

@ShadowWizard that're likely armored?

They might "just" end up in jail.

True. But still

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard ._.

9:13 AM

@PrincessLuna doubt they send armored battle crafts against animals...

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard australia lost a war to emu once

@PrincessLuna looks like you have. No? :)

oh wait...

Mar 17 at 22:18, by SmokeDetector

@PrincessLuna You are not a privileged user. Please see the privileges wiki page for information on what privileges are and what is expected of privileged users.

So someone added you. ;)

Oh

Journeyman Geek

and its probably pretty damned hard to hit a moving aircraft with a gun

I forgot about that ^^"

Journeyman Geek

9:15 AM

Political pressure in theory is a better idea, assuming there's enough backlash

@JourneymanGeek If GTA has taught me anything, everything is possible if you have enough ammo

Journeyman Geek

._.

@ShadowWizard doubt they have anything but armored battle crafts

@JourneymanGeek I imagine the aircrafts shooting the animals won't go fast. Probably they send helicopters anyway.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard helicopters move fast.

compared to well... things that are not helicopters

9:17 AM

@JourneymanGeek when moving, of course. But in order to... fulfill their goal.. I believe they'll hover in the air for a while and be in static position when shooting.

Especially if you turn off the engine off in mid-air

They don't plan for the animals to shoot back.

Journeyman Geek

@PrincessLuna funny thing that. Helicopters probably would just land safely if that happened

@ShadowWizard what if they're traps? ;p

@PrincessLuna booby trapped animals?? lol

9:18 AM

@JourneymanGeek unless there's enough height

Journeyman Geek

@PrincessLuna even if there is

@ShadowWizard you'd be surprised what can be made into traps. Like a wolf in pony clothing :p

Journeyman Geek

Autorotation is a state of flight in which the main rotor system of a helicopter or similar aircraft turns by the action of air moving up through the rotor, as with an autogyro, rather than engine power driving the rotor. The term autorotation dates to a period of early helicopter development between 1915 and 1920, and refers to the rotors turning without the engine. It is analogous to the gliding flight of a fixed-wing aircraft. The most common use of autorotation in helicopters is to safely land the aircraft in the event of an engine failure or tail-rotor failure. It is a common emergency procedure...

Every movie I've ever watched with crashing helicopters did it wrong o_o

Movies showing things for real are usually boring. ;)

Journeyman Geek

9:20 AM

now, in theory if you lost your tail rotor...

Special Effects are what making the movies interesting.

blame Capcom for every helicopter crash on Resident Evil?

Journeyman Geek

well if it got hit by something... sure

Nah, let's blame @ShadowWizard :p

What about a crash triggered by an EMP?

Journeyman Geek

I'm not sure. ;p

9:22 AM

(anyway, didn't expect to get Freehand Circle Hat on Anime.SE...)

Journeyman Geek

but someone survived a flame out

which was literally the engine not having enough oxygen and noping all of a sudden

@PrincessLuna I blame @M.A.R.!

@JourneymanGeek "And engine two is no longer on fire."

@Tinkeringbell lovely!

lol

@Derpy you still got some?

@ShadowWizard added a lot of random messages on this one. Even if the joke is very plain, I suggest you wait a little to see some of the options.

turn of should be turn off

9:58 AM

Please do not turn ~~of your connection or disconnect~~ your pc.

10:11 AM

@ShadowWizard blame me instead!!

@ShadowWizard Mmf.. Did you at least bring enough muffins for everypony?!?!

@Derpy :)

@PrincessLuna didn't I already tell you mff sounds better? :P

But yeah, there are enough for everyone! :D

@ShadowWizard So, everyone is getting a Derpy action figure?

@andmyself you didn't notice the intentional flipping of the usual canned message most app have?

@ShadowWizard Didn't I already tell you it's a non-lewd sound? xd

missing Rarity you two?

Huh?

nah, I'm just missing a decent Windows package manager .-.

10:27 AM

I am sure @ShadowWizard understood what I meant....

@PrincessLuna hire someone! ;)

@Derpy yup

@ShadowWizard Software package, not mail package xd

You said you need a manager... ;-)

@PrincessLuna really?? :D

@ShadowWizard yeah xd

I'll manage your computer if you make me root

10:32 AM

No root in Windows

look up "how to root a windows (insert version here)" on youtube or something

@Unihedron Okay, sure!

My IP is 1.1.1.1, the username is "user" and there is no password.

tanks u :p

tanks in advantage...

tanks after advantage

1.1.1.1 is a thing btw

of course it is, 1111 and 8888 are public knowledge

10:43 AM

meh

If you talk to the right groups, they don't know what it is

^tru

been browsing the other swag contest submissions.

not going to flag this one this one too since they already didn't care for my previous reports about answers plagiarizing each one

but yep, there is an answer that doens't feel very original -_-'

Quora also didn't care about my plagiarism report -_-'

11:01 AM

Rip

@Derpy If it's entirely copied from somewhere, that's enough reason to report. If there's so much as a single character they added that's original, then yeah... not much we can do apart from not voting on it :)

> "...rip...tear...kill... soo hungry... for so long..."

(Sorry, that's what I think of when someone just says "Rip" like @PrincessLuna did...)

@Tinkeringbell look . It started as "posting an image from an external site" without even a proper attribution. And deleted by JNat. Then after some days, based in some users commented suggested changes, the image was very slightly altered. Then, JNat undeleted.

True. That's the one I sent to JNat for 'this is just ripped of off google'

Now they've made some changes (and you can't really blame them, as they had quite a positive score)... then it's not fair to leave it deleted

@Tinkeringbell next time, I am just going to copy one of Skeet answers and change a word. Those will get upvoted even when they have nothing to do with the current context :P

anyway, fine with them, fine with me.

It is their contest.

11:10 AM

Only 10 days to go :)

Unfair Use Policy?

?

@Tinkeringbell only 7 days to rest.

Only 4 more days of working with co-worker :)

so many plans, so little time, so SMALL EDITOR.

11:12 AM

Actually 3, as I'll be working from home on Friday too

@Derpy You need to stop editing btw :P You're starting to raise autoflags ;)

@Tinkeringbell huh? found another place?

@andmyself Nah, new project, for the same client, next year :)

@Tinkeringbell Either I keep editing or I forego the last days. Your choice

At least, that's what I was promised

@Derpy Just kidding ;) Have at it

I like dismissing easy flags.

And..... autoflags for editing YOUR POST?

this is very useful indeed. Can't blame them though, the site is not built for handling contests

I wonder if trying to handle those like a moderator election would work better.

11:19 AM

@Derpy Too many edits raise an autoflag. Just so we can make sure that someone's not bumping their post unnecessarily, I guess.

Or that they don't keep changing their post every other day to say something different.

@Mithrandir ~~How uncooth!~~

:p

@Mithrandir I must-..have brains

Ugh, someone doesn't know her franchises

@Mithrandir ever heard of a crossover? :p

@andmyself That's why everything smells so fishy!

This is an official reference to Invasion of the Body Snatchers

as for the zombie one...

@Tinkeringbell forgot "The"! You'll usually have a co-worker... no? ;)

@Derpy blame something that made me reading it from right-to-left

@ShadowWizard Perhaps? :P I was actually thinking of becoming my own team :P

And then in a few years, when I get a co-worker, complain about how they don't know anything ;)

@Tinkeringbell Parrot Team!

@ShadowWizard It's borderline, I think. The previous one didn't upload :P

@ShadowWizard 'bag' it's not big enough to be a proper bag ;)

@Derpy Hahaha no, yarn ;)

@Tinkeringbell looks big in the pic... ;)

@Tinkeringbell 20cm are just enough. I can put my wallet in there. :D

@Rob thanks for making me think of it this way, now it all makes much more sense! :P

@JourneymanGeek The word is French so it doesn't belong to a group probably

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ it's a religious thing?? Didn't know. lol (i.e. it's forbidden by religious laws to use paper?)

We do use paper also to dry it sometimes but "only paper" is scary

@PrincessLuna what

@ShadowWizard Well, not using water is against the doctrines

Some golden words from Deadpool 2:

@PrincessLuna it was just a guess, someone rolled it back. (Tink, perhaps?)

> Now I'm gonna tell you what the big lie is: Toilet paper

@ShadowWizard Yes, well you look through the toilet roll and sit on the waffle.

Google the rest if you're interested, potentially possibly too gross for chat

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ not for Den chat. ;)

@Rob very useful. Thanks! :D
