@bjb568 AD/AS, all you need.

:3

What's with the red...

Good for the eyes.

Can't wait for macro to be over with, I've taken way too many exams this year...

@hichris123 I'm taking eight, I was going to sign up for nine, didn't realize that there were multiple makeup days depending on the exam.

@Gerry Probably not, most "selective" colleges only accept a handful of AP credits so it's not like it matters.

@Gerry My future is foggy, ask again in 4 years.

@bjb568 Yikes, I thought 5 was bad.

Hopefully I'll go to a college that I'll want to stay at.

I've realized that.

Sans anybody to do cool things with now, I'm going to try to write an AI that makes or analyzes music over the summer and publish a paper about it.

Eh, maybe. I'm happy when I don't set goals too tho.

:(

@Telkitty Do you remember all of your resource bunkers? Or are you just getting happy sometimes about finding some nuts again you already had forgotten about?

^True

Squirrels (the other ones) could become a plague :-P

At least forgotten bunkers will be helpful to grow further nut trees, so that investment wasn't in vane.

play Fallout series

@Telkitty data is 'cool'

....

data is uncountable.

data ain't cool

@Shog9 hence the quotes.

data interpreted appropriately can be useful. Also, makes pretty graphs.

lol

PERFECT TIMING

SO Trends... Google Trends...

yes; graphs are cool, and results are cool, and results that can be represented in graphs are extra-cool.

<-- currently looking for an excuse to post a directed graph illustrating some sort of result

yup

(but the only graph I look at a regularish basis, is my reputation ;) )

mine is phone's battery graph :(

I can trust my phone battery to go on all day

Other than definition of a sandwich

hm

True

@HyperNeutrino 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.

erf. THAT GUY

Oh well, free flags ;)

@HyperNeutrino might not want to engage the troll tho

I'd have commented there, but you'd probably have gone "who the hell is this guy" ;p

yup

(I'm not really a skeptics regular, or anyone of importance ;) )

Not often!

I usually do freerange flags

Might see me on meta or SU mostly

(and a bunch of assorted, seemingly random chatrooms)

I really need to get that discussion gold badge

@HyperNeutrino the privilege is set per room, so.. being a privileged user in one room doesn't mean being privileged user in all rooms

@ShadowWizard If you're curious meta.superuser.com/questions/1024/where-did-molly-go/1025#1025 is the old user whose posts I come across quite a bit

and feel terrible about deleting

just learned how windows 10 by default distributes updates.

Not really sure that I could trust that ideas as safe.

@HyperNeutrino There's only one smokey but the privileges are per-room or per-chat-server or something. Just ask somebody in charcoal hq to give you privs here in the tavern.

@JasonC Per room

Per YOUR FACE

Yeah you got nothin'

drops mic

@Shog interesting side effect of the top bar change on SO is that people review less suggested edits these days. I didn't see the queue being full for years, and I took a look now, the edits are pending for 2-5 hours, where before they were all reviewed within minutes. Wonder if you considered this when removing the suggested edits count from the top bar?

Probably many long time reviewers simply think the queue is empty, since there's no number there any more.

I wonder if it will reach the point where edits will take days to review, like on the smaller sites...

(on Health it takes over a month until a suggested edit is approved, actually.)

@JasonC what happened to MOM?

there's a live feed from iss up now it's pretty cool (youtube.com/watch?v=RtU_mdL2vBM). the astronaut was messing with the camera a few minutes ago.

maybe he'll show his face again

aw maybe he went back inside

@JasonC walks away angrily

Mumbling

> NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer will take a spacewalk outside International Space Station starting at about 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) and lasting about 6.5 hours.

so they're out there walking around they'll probably end up back on camera at some point

i think jack fischer might be holding the camera

oh no maybe he just tied it to something

This isn't a sandbox... what you trying to do? @Hyp

152859

you don't need to explain yourself, shadow is just a cranky old man

So you post here for people on other room to see? That doesn't sound weird at all. :D

@JasonC unimportant cranky old man

@JasonC let's go for a fist fight, see who is cranky old man then! :P

Zimmer frame fight!

unimportant, STUPID, cranky old man

You can be a cranky old man and hit hard.

and ugly too

but not FAT

but you smell funny

I was always proud being not FAT

@HyperNeutrino on MSE (and SO) it's the same.

@JasonC How do you know how he smells like?

@M.A.R. 64

@M.A.R. he got sensors in my room

smell sensors

Very elegant sensors.

they're iot-enabled

That reminds me of FeelReal VR

lol

opening perfume bottle next to @Jason's sensors so that he gets a smell boom

lol: Ocean, Jungle, Fire, Grass, Powder, Flowers, Metal

that's weirdly similar to the settings on those "relaxing noise generators"

wtf is "powder"

Marijuana

lol

faithfully recreating the scent of cocaine

now with VR enhanced visualization!

oh man

@M.A.R. you got some?

@Elephant considering that the more you played, the more psychedelic the world textures became... LSD Dream Emulator already attempted that too.

@ShadowWizard you want some? Come get some. Punches Sha

@Derpy that's a crazy game

@Jason can you please scrape the Den (full scraping) and share the data somehow, e.g. XML file on Google Drive? I want to re-calculate WAG stats, and prefer not to scrape it all by myself. (Both the time it will take, and unneeded load on the servers)

@M.A.R. thanks! Just what I needed. :D

@Elephant even crazier, from the Wikipedia link...

> An open source, unofficial fan remake, titled LSD Revamped, is under development for Microsoft Windows and Linux.[2][3] The remake, remade in the Unity game engine, was updated to include various new features, including mod support and original areas.[3]

That said....

Someone made a Desert Bus remake with VR support for Oculus Rift

so there is no end to the "crazy game" list.

@Elephant compu-lsd.com

is this...... A SEQUEL?

oo, incoming great games

nope, tried some who is. Probably someone managed to buy the old domain / url the game used

so... sorry, seems it is just a fake site after all.

we will still have to wait for media-molecule Dreams

@ShadowWizard Nope. Because I started doing it just now, then my PC locked up, then I rebooted, and Eclipse erased the entire un-backed-up source file.

And now I have no more scraper. Because awesome.

Well it's not as bad as it sounds I still have all the hard parts of the code, but I need to redo the main file.

@JasonC whoops. Sorry about that! cowers away slowly

Guess I'll do it myself, and put in Google Drive for others, or future use. :)

My bad for not putting it in source control

Lemme see if recuva finds a copy somewhere

any tips for the format? @Jason

I just used a csv

Which I recommend because it's a lot of data and low overhead = good.

XML will be huge

@JasonC good point. So CSV with every line as one message?

Don't you remember the csv I sent you last time? I thought I sent you one about a month ago. Same format, I did uh... one sec...

I had good results with one line per message

type,id,time,replyId,userId,userName,text,html,cleanText

When I remake this I'll add stars.

But that seemed to be enough info to recreate everything.

Oh and also message type (there's three: one-box, system, and regular)

Damn, 2 hours left on data recovery scan

:/

@JasonC how you get message type from scraping?

And I have a feeling it won't get it unless I get lucky and there's a really old version laying around, because the file right now is the right size but full of 0's. And I have an SSD with trim support. So, meh.

It's implicit in the structure of the html

@JasonC oh, thought there is some hidden attribute I missed

@ShadowWizard The chat has a div, transcript. Each of its child nodes are messages. Ones with class monologue are either normal or one-boxed. Ones with class system-message-container are system.

Then for monologue if there's a child node with class onebox it's a one-box, otherwise it's not.

Btw

I can send you the raw transcripts through April 17

Save you some work

@JasonC Well, for my needs I don't need it, but good to keep it in mind. :)

@JasonC hmm.... yeah, won't cause any harm. Thanks!

It'll save you a ton of time with throttling.

Gimme a minute to compress them

@JasonC plan to request one page every 5-10 seconds, won't it be enough?

Yeah but I'm sending you 1104 days of transcripts.

That's 1.5 hours of scraping at 5 second intervals.

whoa. :)

You just need to get April 17 thru now, that's what I was doing when my PC died.

Also, remember to disable macros when opening the .xls file that he will send you or you may end up as a new addition to his botnet.

WTF?! (aka plz delete anyone who can)

@ShadowWizard LOL

How do you think @JasonC manages to find the time to do all the scraping otherwise?

@Derpy can they be added to .csv as well? ;)

Well I'm just giving you raw html. It's the actual transcript pages. The rest is on you.

Going for shoppings, will be back later. Looking forward to get the pages! :)

@ShadowWizard dropbox.com/s/6mekma1ckqpdmal/721.7z?dl=0 - And delete 2017-04-17.html, that file is corrupt. I didn't notice until after I compressed it.

@ShadowWizard lol. I flagged

and that one is just. plain. strange

Haha

and is it just me, or is it rediculously easy to repcap on MSE?

@JourneymanGeek It's ridiculously easy to rep-cap on meta.SE. That doesn't mean it isn't just you

ah.

Ok

It's always you.

I posts my answers, I get my votes, no?

Also I know it.

So you can't fool me.

I know @Sha's your sock.

@JourneymanGeek It's pretty easy.

Heck, you've even created a very localized voting ring

Turns out it's actually probably not that hard to rep cap anywhere, you just need to shotgun enough crap. meta.stackexchange.com/a/295373/230261

@M.A.R. heh. That's my equivilent of imposter syndrome.

It's exceedingly difficult to actually lose rep.

@JasonC hah. On SU I've gotten about 87 over almost 7 years, and several thousand questions. Here I have 12 over 173, most of the time I ignored MSE unless I wanted to complain about almost half of them over a relatively short period of time

There's so many numbers in that sentence.

@JasonC Yeah. Confirmed, he's Gerry's sock too

@M.A.R. I can't be everyone's sock

Also, damn, SSD+TRIM = file recovery scans will never work. Sigh.

@JourneymanGeek So Gerry's your sock?

@JasonC back when I was doing forensics...

@M.A.R. Everyone's shog's sock

Clearly

and we're all figment's of Tim Post's imagination after that head injury

damn. he's got a pretty vivid imagination.

maybe he can imagine that i have a girlfriend

@JasonC it's 1080p

lol

@JasonC essentially the papers on whether data recovery is possible from SSDs, least 3-4 years ago were... entirely contradictory

the nsa knows the answer i'm sure

who knows, some weird quantum physics style echoes of data that they can scan with recovered alien technology or something

@JasonC beat you with a wrench until you tell them what you want to know?

an alien wrench

Actually... no

i just got an amusing image of them disassembling a ufo at area 51, then using the parts as blunt objects to smack people with.

lol

Btw:

chat one-boxes the real link and you get the mouseover when you do it

ah yeah

It's blasphemous to post an xkcd without a tooltip.

true

Actually, I really should just report your message for that. flags

erf

I miss being a chatmod ;p

piling on flags to pressurize Haney to nuke Journeygeek man

lol

I'd be able to ninja edit it otherwise.

is there an animal that goes "erf"

Dogs sometimes do

i feel like it would be dog-like, but dumber

dogs make the damnest noises.

@JasonC its kinda the "I cannot be bothered to even bark at you" sound

lol

the funniest dog sound is that half-hearted long, vocal cry+howl sound, i can't describe it. but it's hilarious.

arrroooroorooorooorooooo

My roomie goes from woof, to multiple barks to woof, to chewbacca sounds...

lol

a friend of mine used to have this huge dog, like bigger than a person. his name was Dog. and we discovered one day that every time we played the theme song from all in the family, no matter where he was, he would just start howling. it was awesome.

he's a lovely dog.

he'd do it from half speed to double speed playback. but not when it was played in reverse. we did a lot of experiments.

lol. Those are awesome. Also utterly impractical.

i know haha

My granma has a GSD. Big goofball.

@JasonC most people here live in flats

another friend had a big one named Hank who would stand up real slow and hug you.

there's literally a list of a dozen approved dogs..

@JasonC My gran's dog does that. Then realised it was my brother, not me, then tried to hide under the sofa...

lemme look at pics to see if i can figure out what kind of dogs Dog and Hank were

lol

i think hank was a white great dane

Is that like a great white shark?

and dog was a mutt but part corso probably

ah

mutts are the best dogs

some day, i will have two of these, and two of these. and a huge ass plot of land. some day.

more likely i'll have a mangy cat and live in a cardboard box under a bridge

BUT I'LL NEVER LOSE MY PRIDE.

lol

I think my dog basically has ruined everything not a terrier to me.

i think i saw a pic of your dog; is it one of those curly haired terriers or a short hair

better way to phrase that question: what kind of terrier

hm, straight, somewhat silky

mutt. White schnauzer mom

dad's unknown

boston terriers seem to be popular in nyc for some reason

unless you're a little japanese girl. then for some reason you probably have a yorkshire. </stereotype>

lol

There's a local yorkie

she used to be extremely high energy

we had some westies too, adorable but not that bright

i'm partial to beagles

my mom used to own a dog grooming place, she named it after my childhood dog.

but she sold it, which has always made me sad. still has the same name but the new owners don't have her charm.

ah

she was always doing like, suburb things. like little booths in the dog park and special events and crap.

lol. our usual grooming place loves ash.

it was a do-it-yourself grooming place. it was awesome actually. they had groomers on staff but the owners would come in and give the dogs baths and stuff and not have to worry about the mess. it was very popular.

ah

aw

they took the picture of our dog off their web site finally

haha, there he is on the top right‌​, archive.org immortalizing the hilariously geocities style small business web site.

also it looks like somebody's washing some kind of terrier

looks like a very cross yorkie

lol

my mom has an infamously poor eye for good pictures

We have a self service dog wash at our local dog park

aww

isn't it fun? people seem to get a kick out of washing their dogs. good bonding.

i want to open a self service cat wash, just for the comedic value

I'd like to link their webpage but self playing videos...

also, their condtioner smells damned good

ah

trubludogwash.com.au

Lol what: luckydawgsalongrooming.com/… accidental awesome find

lol

oh man

haha

awesome

buzzfeed to the rescue

aw it's kind of a letdown

#12 is pretty good

lol

hm pakistani spammers meta.stackexchange.com/a/295853/135565

@JasonC heh. those are pretty bad

@JNat cross site spammer: stackexchange.com/users/10689812/mahmood-mehar?tab=accounts posted couple of spam on MSE now, probably more on SO in the past...

@M.A.R. nah, I'm no sock!

@Jason thanks, looks good. Just to make sure, you handle cases like this? (i.e. days with many messages, where there are multiply transcript pages)

So @Journeyman how was your third day at work? Better than the first? You got the hang of things? ;)

@ShadowWizard all gone

Public holiday

so awesome. Just not work

2 more days this week

at least I think its a 5 day week

still no paperwork done

@ShadowWizard I'm still convinced that unless my actual boss turns up and is awesome, the cultural fit... just isn't there.

least so far

Of course, as the sole IT guy, I suppose I can (eventually) inject some sanity into things

since the other IT guy (so far) seems to be primarily handling facilities.

also, I donno why I've been so negative so far. I'm usually a lot more positive about these things.

I do note though, I typically had some pretty competant folk getting me onboarded, so.... there's that

here... er...

no

not yet anyway

in theory I don't even legally work there

no contract's signed

erf. Yeah, wee bit whiny. Its kinda frustrating.

I've been chasing HR, and my current temp boss.

@ShadowWizard yes i always request /0-24

so each of those is the full transcript for the entire day

lol

yeah, probably

and maybe keep looking

i don't know what to eat for lunch. i'm ordering food. somebody suggest a random type of cuisine.

Thai
