adders are kinda common too but they're too wimpy to ever show themselves, also they're lame as fuck

#

they just go limp when you hold them. Completely useless.

fresh ermine
#

Salamanders are pretty cool

heady spear

fresh ermine

i love this video

heady spear
#

Hm, apparently we have three types of lizards. Not that you ever see them

#

this is my favorite lizard species of ours :p They're all over the place

#

Like literally. My cats loved them 😛

fresh ermine
#

snakey looking lizard

heady spear
#

Ye, fakey snakey

fresh ermine
#

do they have super small feet or is it something else that differs them from snakes

heady spear
#

nah, they are legless lizards

soft knot
heady spear
#

They can also shed their tails which is kinda cool, I guess.

fresh ermine
#

imagine if humans shed their skin like lizards lmfao

#

just one big ol peel

heady spear
#

Peeling is dope except for when spiders do it

#

nasty fuckers. God damn I hate spiders, lol

fresh ermine
#

i dont mind them if they are in a tank but if its not

#

thats a no from me

heady spear
#

I mean yeah same, I don't mind a tarantula

#

but like when they're freely walking around your home like entitled fucks? nah

fresh ermine
#

my gf refuses to allow me to own any type of insect / bug lmfao

#

i've wanted to buy a Vietnamese centipede

#

they are so neat

heady spear
#

aren't those the super venomous kind?

fresh ermine
#

yeah they are

heady spear
#

I kinda like scorpions, those I don't mind

#

spiders are a big no no tho

fresh ermine
#

scorpions are pretty cool id own one tbh

#

i dont like being stung tho idk why

#

like being bit is a meh thing but if it has a stinger

#

i avoid it like a plague

#

especially wasps and hornets

#

fuck those

heady spear
#

I mean yeah, I guess it's easier to avoid a bite as well

#

those fucking stingy stings come out of nowhere

fresh ermine
#

i think i have a bias because when i was a kid, i was visiting my grandparents playing in their yard

#

and i stepped on this log

#

and a literal swarm of wood wasps just came at me

heady spear
#

omfg no

fresh ermine
#

and i had super long hair then and they got caught in my hair and shit

#

it was horrible

heady spear
#

We have some nasty fucking spiders that live in ventilations and crawl into bathrooms and then attack you

#

so I always look twice before entering bathrooms 😠

#

By attack I mean sit there staring at you

#

you feel hella violated

fresh ermine
#

ngl after seeing those videos of spiders sitting under seats

#

i always check

#

i would be one pissed person if my ass cheek got bit by a spider while i was taking a shit

heady spear
#

these kinda do bite you for no reason tho

#

like there are plenty of stories of people waking up after having been bit by those fucks for no reason

#

So first of all, they live in my house without paying rent

#

then they crawl on top of my face to bite me

#

fuck that

fresh ermine
#

ahhh i hate things like that

#

its weird how som bugs wil do all costs to avoid you

#

and then you have other things that just

#

want to fuck your day up

#

especially considering size vs us compared to them

heady spear
#

these fucks are supposed to live in Australia tho. We don't want spiders in Sweden.

#

Oh btw u mentioned screaming cayotes, have you ever heard a screaming beaver?

fresh ermine
#

nope, I never actually have tbh

heady spear
#

My sister used to scream at her horses to get them to come to her, because they're too dumb to realize that they should otherwise, and when once we heard something scream back

#

It was terrifying. But she screamed once more, and again we heard something scream back

#

Turns out there is a fucking beaver dam right next to the stable

#

i wonder what kind of info steam throws at paypal when a buyer files a chargeback with bank

#

gabe is one boy who truly knows how to deal with that

acoustic pilot
#

im guessing they maybe have an arrangement with paypal which allows them to directly deal with the banks thru their own fraud department

#

without having to have paypal arbitrate

limber knotBOT
#

paypal dispute system already supports dealing with banks

acoustic pilot
#

nope, that's just you talking to paypal

#

and paypal talking to the banks

limber knotBOT
#

attached delivery evidence files get passed to the bank from paypal

acoustic pilot
#

presumably

#

paypal filters what you attach, you have to assume they do

#

it's my understanding that larger merchants are able to deal with banks directly

limber knotBOT
#

had the biggest chargeback today of 2000$ it was a bank dispute, somehow i won 600$ in chargebacks out of that by providing quite a bit of info

acoustic pilot
#

that's awesome, but not really a counter-point

limber knotBOT
#

am now wondering what arcane jewery gabe knows

fresh ermine
#

im banned from paypal cus they caught me using it underage lmfao

#

which i regret heavily now

limber knotBOT
#

nowai

fresh ermine
#

im 19 and still can't use paypal

limber knotBOT
#

they ban for that?

fresh ermine
#

yes

limber knotBOT
#

hm

normal echo
#

I was banned and got told to make a new account

trim steeple
#

how old do you have to be? 18?

limber knotBOT
#

ive been banned from paypal when i was underage and did an oppsie that made my account go into negative value

normal echo
#

they gave me the funds but it was fine otherwise

fresh ermine
#

damn really?

limber knotBOT
#

but i am still using it under my name

fresh ermine
#

anytime i try to make a new account

#

under my name and address

#

it automatically gets booted

acoustic pilot
#

call them

normal echo
#

You'd have to talk to them probably

limber knotBOT
#

did you try to make a business account?

fresh ermine
#

yeah i prolly should call them

limber knotBOT
#

but yeah, will prolly have to call them

fresh ermine
#

it sucks ass not being able to use paypal

#

honestly

#

since a lot of major places use it

acoustic pilot
#

phone support has usually been helpful for me

fresh ermine
#

and dont support stripe payment

limber knotBOT
#

do you guys know if seller protection applies to digital goods?

acoustic pilot
#

it doesn't.

#

but disputes are often easy to win

#

nonetheless

normal echo
#

Did they not change something to do with that recently?

trim steeple
#

anyone know what plugin it is that's preventing me from placing saplings on 1-block-deep dirt? there have to be 3 solid blocks underneath the sapling in order for it to place now. I'm running Paper server, plugins are "CoreProtect, dynmap*, Dynmap-GriefPrevention*, Essentials, GriefPrevention, Harbor*, Orebfuscator4
"

limber knotBOT
#

disputes via paypal are ez, banks are much harder

acoustic pilot
#

it really depends on the kind of dispute, chargebacks are damn near impossible in my experience.

limber knotBOT
#

trying to figure out how the hell i got 600$ back out of 2000$ bank chargebacks, some of it was seller protection

acoustic pilot
#

i think unauthorized disputes are hard to win, but that's about it.

limber knotBOT
#

thats what i had, yet it was clearly fraud, still lost most of it ^_^

#

that particular boi opens a card just to chargeback 100% of everything after 6 months

#

guy will be a career criminal

acoustic pilot
#

you assume it's his card

limber knotBOT
#

it was, im 90% sure

acoustic pilot
#

but im also assuming i know anything about anything, which i don't so never mind me

limber knotBOT
#

combined logs from over 100 days

acoustic pilot
#

could just be another kid acting big on chat, just using mom's card

#

then again a parent would notice that pretty soon

limber knotBOT
#

kid, yeah, but moneys are his and he knows what he is doing

#

in my case it was a guy who creates a new account/card every few months, fills it with cash and does whatever he wants for some time until calling bank saying the card was stolen or some nonsense

#

the dude admitted to everything in chat logs

acoustic pilot
#

that doesn't sound right at all because a bank will typically put blocks on new cards for suspicious activity, you have to actually call them to confirm the transactions

limber knotBOT
#

still nowhere near enough to fight vs a bank

#

the guy is def having some hard time

#

i provided a shit ton of info on him

#

tbh if this goes to court i have a very good case and could win small claims against him

austere ivy
#

What happened with the rules!

#

?*

limber knotBOT
#

what are the rules?

austere ivy
#

They don’t seem different to me..

acoustic pilot
#

You could take it to small claims if you were in the US and you knew his real identity/address lol

austere ivy
acoustic pilot
#

If you were both in the same country, rather

limber knotBOT
#

eh, chargebacks are just part of it

stiff yarrow
#

small claims over 2k

#

I'd rather not

acoustic pilot
#

Well you'd probably be able to claim a little more than just losses

Guys, i have problem on 1.14.2 that if someone is fishing sometimes, when the fish catches, Fishing Bobber and line dissapear. What it could be?

Isn't that how it works? When you reel in a fish (or something else), your line and bobber disappear. You'll have to throw the line again to start fishing again.

how does 2080 compare to 1080?

I wouldn't suggest the upgrade lol

ah apple

somehow you have found a market of retards who will buy ur shit

heady spear

wait, what even is that?

unreal quarry

most fucked up thing about that stand? people will buy it.

heady spear
#

Like, what is it used for?

austere ivy
#

"TehBrian Today at 1:19 AM
So a $4999/5999 monitor, $5999 computer, $999 stand. That means barebones for a new 2019 Mac Pro would be 11,997/12,997."

heady spear
#

What the fuck

austere ivy
#

12997 is INSANE for a new computer.

limber knotBOT
#

why do you need a stand for a monitor?

unreal quarry
#

and since people will buy it. apple will still continue to do dumb shit like this

austere ivy
#

But then again, it supports up to 1.5tb of RAM.

#

Probably would add an extra 50k dollars to the price tag.

unreal quarry
#

^ 2 even

static badge
#

could buy an actual computer for 1/10th

strange bane
#

You guys are ignorant, that's a small investment compared to how much extra money can be made due to that stand's rotational abilities and aluminium build quality

austere ivy
#

Yeah, with that kind of money, we're talking 2x 2080ti, i7-9900k, 3 144hz 4k monitors, new corsair keyboard, g502 mouse, amazing case, new desk

heady spear
#

but apple makes qUaLitY pRoduCts

#

I mean sure, some of them break when coming in contact with dust

austere ivy
#

No seriously what are they doing to a cheap sheet of metal that magically makes it 1k?

fresh ermine
#

except companies dont have people build gaming pc's

#

lmfao

#

the stand is idiotic

austere ivy
#

people will still buy it.

fresh ermine
#

the mac pro is completely aimed at big businesses / enthusiasts

austere ivy
#

Reviewers will buy it, tech illiterate businesses will buy it, that kinda thing.

#

So no matter how high they price it, people will still buy it.

strange bane
#

I might buy it, would make a neat drink coaster

heady spear
#

The macbook pro is kind of neat, but there are better computers at a similar price point

unreal quarry
#

apple lovers like @austere ivy will buy it

Apple software has been consistently great

fresh ermine

it is

#

i agree

but i think this should be big too

#

and yeah it really has

austere ivy
#

Debatable.

heady spear
#

But, I don't think it's worth the sacrifice.

#

It's neat to have the operating system being tailored to the hardware tho

strange bane
#

Android doesn't feel as finished as iOS but I think it's a much better OS.

heady spear
#

Also yeah, no one cares because it's not meme-worthy

austere ivy
#

macOS is great, I love that. Nice interface, Linux-style cleanliness with Windows-style ease of accessibility. iOS is just superior to Android. In terms of configuration? Android, hands down, definitely wins. But in terms of the looks and feel of the entire thing, iOS just looks nicer imo.

fresh ermine
#

ive been stuck with apple since i was given a shoddy iPod back in the day and ive always jsut stuck because of the ease of interchangeability, tho i don't own a mac

austere ivy
#

Pages and iMovie is AWFUL though.

heady spear
#

Idk, I don't really like android all that much. Using the galaxy S8 atm and it's?? like

austere ivy
#

They put random restrictions on it.

#

Like Pages can't export with transparency, iMovie can't have instant transitions.

strange bane
#

macOS is far too buggy and unintuitive for me to like it.

heady spear
#

I would 100% go for an iphone tbh

fresh ermine
#

i bought a Galaxy S6 it was my first attempt and deviating from the iPhone

#

and i honestly hated it

austere ivy

And OH WHAT DO YOU KNOW, WANT INSTANT TRANSITIONS? You gotta pay a couple hundred dollars for our better Final Cut Pro.

limber knotBOT
heady spear
#

The S6 was interesting. I had the S6 edge

austere ivy
#

I just don't like the feeling of Android phones to be honest. That's the worst part though.

fresh ermine
#

the new AR tech in apples phones is pretty damn neat too

heady spear

The whole OS gets insanely slow after a while

fresh ermine
#

yeah

heady spear
#

Like, the phone is useless after a year

fresh ermine
#

that was my problem

austere ivy
#

I don't like Apple, but if I'm using an iPhone, mine as well sign up for iCloud, get a Macbook for compatibility, oh what do you know you're an apple lover.

fresh ermine
#

also i hated how far the camera jutted out

strange bane
#

You guys are confusing Android skins with Android.

fresh ermine
#

its a personal thing

#

but man

#

i cracked the lens so quickly on it

austere ivy
#

@heady spear wrong, no. I'm still using a 6s and it's still going well.

#

iOS 12 seemed to fix a lot.

fresh ermine
#

and i take really good care of my phones lol

heady spear
#

What do you mean wrong? I've had it happen to all my samsung phones so far lol

austere ivy
#

It's running fast for me, at least. I don't know what phone you use but 6s is working fine.

fresh ermine
#

hes talking about samsung 6s isn't samsung

austere ivy
#

oh, Samsung or Apple?

unreal quarry
#

i bought my kids some ipods back in the day. all same model, all purchased at same store at same time. yet when i went and bought them a dock or some crap i found out half of them wouldn't work on the dock and needed adapters. why? because color. turns out each color of the ipod uses a different damn pin configuration in the port

austere ivy
#

I'm talking about iPhone lol.

fresh ermine
#

what?

#

i have never heard of that

#

apple doesn't even sell ipods anymore

#

but

#

i know the ones ive had

#

they were all the same across generations

strange bane
#

Apple does make iPods still.

fresh ermine
#

no theyre getting rid of them

austere ivy
#

Never mind, I thought City was talking about that iPhone gets slower after time and while Apple did try to do that (they're a scummy company) the 6s is working fine.

strange bane
#

They made a new one less than a month ago.

#

"new"

fresh ermine
#

yeah it was their last ipod

austere ivy
#

They announced a new one, but that's the final one.

fresh ermine
#

because its a dead market

heady spear
#

My iphones haven't had that problem, so we agree Brian 😛

austere ivy
#

It's just the same iPod but they slapped an a10 or something in there.

heady spear
#

It's the samsung phones being completely useless after a while

strange bane
#

Nothing has been confirmed for the removal of iPhones, everyone thought the 6th generation would be the last.

austere ivy
#

Yeah I agree with you, City.

strange bane
#

*iPods

fresh ermine
#

but honestly ive never heard of ipod colours having different adaptors?

#

thats not something apple would do in design

strange bane
#

Very old iPods I assume.

normal echo
#

I've never had an issue with android slowing down but I use a OnePlus phone and not samsung 😛

heady spear
#

I am going to wait until this phone is completely useless before switching tho

fresh ermine
#

would have to be

strange bane
#

Exactly, myles.

#

It's all about the skin not Android.

heady spear
#

I had the original oneplus one, but I dropped it in the toilet a week after I bought it

fresh ermine
#

im not saying android is shit tbh because i get why people like it

#

but ill use iphones

heady spear
#

^same

austere ivy
#

^

#

Android is just worse than iOS in terms of how nice the UI looks, imo.

#

It's just a lot more consistent and clean.

unreal quarry
#

@fresh ermine the port was the same. it was the wires internally that were rearranged depending on color of the unit

heady spear
#

Idk ios feels way more polished. No Android skin has ever come close imo

strange bane
#

Samsung's Touchwiz is a horrible experience and Samsung's software in general has always sucked.

fresh ermine
#

huh thats odd

#

iOS has a head start in feeling like that because of how closed apple is too

#

with android being so large and open theres a ton of different brands with different standards making them

austere ivy
#

Yeah.

strange bane
#

Not even stock Android feels as finished as iOS does today.

austere ivy
#

Apple is just a scummy company but man, their phones and iOS are just.. nicer.

strange bane
#

There's no issues, but Android doesn't have the same feel.

heady spear

modern ios is pretty damn neat, isn't it?

austere ivy

Also their iPad is reeaaally nice for drawing on.

I was in an Apple store and tried out a bunch of stuff and iPads are amazing for drawing.

strange bane
#

Modern iOS is kind of insulting.

austere ivy
#

They are super fast and nice and big, touch sensitivity is great.

heady spear
#

oh yeah, the apple pencil is pretty damn neat

#

I use it in class :p

fresh ermine
#

the new iOS looks really intriguing

austere ivy
#

I just wish Apple wasn't so scummy in and of themself.

fresh ermine
#

im debating on upgrading

heady spear
#

The ipad pro feels a lot better than the cheap ipad tho, but it's still fucking great.

austere ivy
#

The things they do, the internal stuff they do, really messed upp imo.

#

Yeah.

fresh ermine
#

but i also just finally got a jailbreak for my iOS version

#

and id have to give that up for

#

who knows how long

austere ivy
#

There's just no other products that compare with the iPad in terms of how good it is. Surface Pros seem intriguing but I just don't like Windows OS or Windows on a tablet.

#

I mean I don't like Windows either way, so..

strange bane
#

Why are you buying iPhones if you're going to jailbreak them anyway?

heady spear
#

All other tablet pencil combos are useless in comparison tbh

fresh ermine
#

because i still like apple

#

jailbreaking is fun

heady spear
#

I even prefer this shit over my wacom :p

fresh ermine
#

i code stuff

austere ivy
#

James, because iOS feels nicer, and iPhones feel nicer physically too.

#

Really, City?

strange bane
#

When you jailbreak iOS, it feels horrible.

austere ivy
#

What wacom do you have?

fresh ermine
#

what?

#

you can jailbreak and not change any core functions of iOS

strange bane
#

Also, iPhones do not physically feel better, they feel like every other phone ever.

fresh ermine
#

you have to install tweaks first.

heady spear
#

idk, it's kinda old lol

austere ivy
#

My sister has a wacom and I tried that out. Feels nice.

fresh ermine
#

that makes no sense on how it feels horrible

heady spear
#

like, not one of those fancy models

austere ivy
#

iPad Pro feels.. different, though.

fresh ermine
#

because nothing changes until a user chooses too

austere ivy
#

It just feels nicer in a way?

strange bane
#

Without any tweaks, iOS feels worse when jailbroken.

austere ivy
#

I don't know how to explain it. Being able to draw on a surface and physically seeing that drawing is nicer imo.

fresh ermine
#

theres no difference lmao

heady spear
#

So I use the cheap ipad as my daily driver and I really like how the apple pencil feels

fresh ermine
#

maybe jailbreaks back on iOS 6

austere ivy
#

With a wacom, you have to draw on a surface and look up at a screen, and I know there are some that look like an iPad so you can draw on the screen and see it there too.

heady spear
#

Yeah, Brian, but there are also those hella expensive wacoms with screens in them :p

strange bane
#

I think it drops frames or something when jailbroken, it does not have the same feel.

austere ivy
#

Yeah.

fresh ermine
#

it definitely does not drop frames

austere ivy
#

But the iPad is kinda an all in one computer kinda thing so you can do some work on there, see it happening super fast.

unreal quarry
#

i feel like i'm surrounded by apple lovers :S i need to get out of here and go do something productive

austere ivy
#

Dunno.

heady spear
#

But yeah, idk, the wacom tries to feel like paper

austere ivy
#

I just really liked how the Apple pencil feels.

heady spear
#

but it just doesn't

fresh ermine
#

all it does is open rootFS

heady spear
#

I'd rather draw on real paper tbh lol

#

and I don't mind the ipad screen at all

austere ivy
#

The Apple pencil feels almost, weighted? Dunno.

heady spear
#

the pencil is hella neat

austere ivy
#

Yeah, it's really impressive how the screen doesn't detect your hand or palm and the screen doesn't stick to your hands or anything. Feels smooth.

heady spear
#

even for writing

austere ivy
#

The touch sensitivity is GREAT.

#

Really?

heady spear
#

ye I take most of my notes on the ipad

austere ivy
#

Didn't try it for writing, but I did like how expressive it is and how you can get small strokes that are very coherent, so I can see how it'd be good for writing.

strange bane
#

Uhm, can't you type faster than you can write?

austere ivy
#

You can type text faster, but for some things like math or physics or anything that needs diagrams, it's worse.

heady spear
#

I really don't like to type my notes

#

during lectures I'll write them down, then I'll type them in latex later on

austere ivy
#

You can draw out on different places or have arrows or something like that, or equations

heady spear
#

It depends on subjects tho, I suppose. Typing math is a pita

austere ivy
#

There's something about learning though, even though typing is objectively faster, I seem to learn faster and feel more involved in what I'm doing if I'm moving around my hands and actually drawing out what I'm thinking about

heady spear
#

I tend to just copy shit when I'm typing

austere ivy
#

Mhm.

strange bane
#

I think it's the other way around, writing involves more thinking so your focus is removed from what you're actually writing about.

heady spear
#

when writing I'm sorta forced to interpret the information as it takes longer to write

austere ivy
#

Same with piano. On FL Studio I can definitely draw out a melody faster with my keyboard and have it more perfect and all that.

cosmic raft
fresh ermine
#

i like typing more than writing because ill write really fast and make my notes sloppy

heady spear
#

But yeah, no, I wouldn't type my notes during lectures. Plus, I'm kinda anal about my latex documents so that'd take too long

fresh ermine
#

if i type i can get pretty fast and theres no chance of sloppy handwriting

#

maybe a spelling mistake or two but that can be easily corrected

heady spear
#

Just don't have sloppy handwriting then

#

🤔

fresh ermine
#

i dont if i don't write fast

#

i said that

austere ivy
#

On FL Studio I can definitely draw out a melody faster with my mouse and have it more perfect, but when I'm actually sitting down on my piano and I have it connected to my computer, being able to actually record myself playing and have that expressiveness and that PHYSICAL aspect of me actually hitting the keys and producing sounds, usually makes me a lot more creative and inspired.

fresh ermine
#

my handwriting is perfectly fine if im not being rushed, but note taking at least in my courses and college are all just rushed

#

typing is easier for me in those situations

heady spear
#

I'll take ugly notes during the lectures and then type them when I'm home

#

it's a nice opportunity to go over the information again

#

spaced repitition and all

austere ivy
#

I think people forget that humans are inherently very physical creatures. Typing things out works, sure, but just in my experience, if I'm actually physically drawing something out or doing something, it's a lot more benficial to me.

fresh ermine
#

sometimes i can barely read my ugly notes

austere ivy
#

beneficial*

fresh ermine
#

my handwriting turns into half cursive when i start going fast

austere ivy
#

Same with drawing, music, all that kinda stuff, for me, at least.

unreal quarry
#

@austere ivy you're just young. i've been on keyboard since mid 90s and now days i even type on my wife's back in my sleep :3

heady spear
#

I always write in cursive to begin with

fresh ermine
#

i was like the last generation of kids to even be taught it

#

in my area

heady spear
#

We were forced to write in cursive all throughout elementary school

austere ivy
#

I don't like cursive.

strange bane
#

I've gotten very good at typing too, but I've never used a number pad, so slip up on them everytime.

heady spear
#

and it really stuck with me

fresh ermine
#

i was also forced but i hated it so i only did it when needed, now they don't even teach it in my state

heady spear
#

I like it, because it enables me to write quickly without it looking like shite

fresh ermine
#

theyll teach you to write a signature

austere ivy
#

M or N? D or L?

fresh ermine
#

and thats about it

heady spear
#

my signature is bs lol

austere ivy
#

For me it's the opposite. I can't write quickly with cursive.

fresh ermine
#

mines different everytime lmao

heady spear
#

like, it's just a bunch of squiggly lines

golden gust
#

hand eye coordination == rip

austere ivy
#

s q u i gg l

fresh ermine
#

im waiting for the bank to call me and be like

#

"dude what the fuck"

golden gust
#

So, my writing is horrible no matter how I write

fresh ermine
#

because my signature is never consisten

golden gust
#

Even worse now that I don't have to write all the time, so I don't

heady spear
#

Mine is the same but it doesn't look like my name at all

strange bane
#

So, in America, are you guys not taught to join up your letters?

heady spear
#

I also had to learn cursive cyrillic and that is a real pain in the ass

strange bane
#

or rather, told.

heady spear
#

Cyrillic is so pretty but it's really hard to make it not look like utter shit when writing :/

austere ivy
#

My handwriting is the same as you see on the screen right now, lol.

#

Here's an accurate digital representation of my signature:

#

"Brian"

#

I should probably learn cursive though ;/

heavy rapids
#

swap the two vowels and you'll get insanely smart quickly!

strange bane
heady spear
#

I usually write Aleksandr instead of Alexander, because the x looks dmb :p

strange bane
#

This is my signature.

heavy rapids
#

wow, that's nice!

#

my signature is unreadable.

austere ivy
#

Nice, James!

normal echo
#

now all i need is your mothers maiden name and SSN

fallen oracle
#

@heady spear what about the e

unreal quarry
#

my sig is legit scribbles. and its different every time

heavy rapids
#

555-1234-4711

strange bane
#

Well, that's a font that I picked that looked the most like my signature, not my exact signature.

heady spear
#

why would I keep the e? 😛

#

Aleksandr > Aleksander

fallen oracle
#

Well you said the X looks dumb

#

Didn't say anything about the e

heady spear
#

yeah but then it's just not accurate

fallen oracle
#

Ahh

heady spear
#

no one names their kid Aleksander

#

I kinda wanna change the legal spelling of my name. The only reason it's Alexander is because everyone would have gotten it wrong otherwise

cosmic raft
#

I sense a theme in these white cards

heady spear
#

Yup, Trump did have a horrifying laser hair removal accident

pulsar wigeon
#

nazi hentai is an entire genre

#

don't knock it til you try it

heavy rapids
#

lol

heady spear
#

is Alexander a common name in the US? Or other English speaking countries for that matter

pulsar wigeon
#

define common

heady spear
#

Like, the only time I've seen it is Alexander Skarsgård, and he's very Swedish 😐

#

He's also Tarzan, so I guess that's cool

#

Well, is it uncommon? 😛

strange bane
#

What about Alex?

heady spear
#

I guess. That's only really a nickname over here

#

My parents have zero fucking imagination so they named my sister Alexandra.

pulsar wigeon
#

yea i definitely know a bunch of Alex people

heady spear
#

Alexander and Alexandra because why the fuck not?

meager token
#

Any idea what's causing all the lag on the MC Multiplayer Servers?

pulsar wigeon
#

dunno how many actually have a full name alexander or not

heady spear
#

I've never met anyone named Alex. It's always Alexander :p That's kinda interesting

#

Everyone calls me Alex. Only my grandma calls me Alexander

pulsar wigeon
#

I'll call you alexa

heady spear
#

Or well, Aleksandr, with a hard r :p

#

there's a dude in my class with the same first + last name combo

#

it's pretty annoying because it always causes issues when registering for exams, and shit like that

cosmic raft
#

makes me think of stanley yelnats

I remember reading that in school 😛

@strange bane I think my generation was one of the last to be taught cursive

strange bane
#

I think even today, in the UK, as soon as you start writing you're told to join up the letters.

stiff yarrow
#

in my mothers generation she had to use cursive, in my generation, we were taught it, but never required to use it

#

and I've been told they don't even teach it anymore

thats how i'm known these days? ^_^

is there way to switch from pexgroups to luckperms

without losing the commands

golden gust
#

There was some magical plugin that left in the pex commands that worked for LP

void void
#

I can't believe there still a plugin that tries to circumvent the EULA. Just follows it and think outside of the box to do so lol.

unreal quarry
#

wat? its either EULA compliant, or its not. theres no side stepping or grey areas

void void
#

Exactly what I means, people THINK they are when they aren't.

golden gust
#

am spr smrt

unreal quarry
#

well, most people think its violation of EULA to sell /fly but its not ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

its all about context

void void
#

Exactly it's HOW it's sells it is it a violation or not. 😉

golden gust
#

Reminds me of the server that "For free, with this donation"

void void
#

That's actually is allowed as long everyone is adhered to the same "fee".

upper flicker
#

You can buy one free ban for use on this guild by donating $10

#

(Offer not valid outside of Sealand)

void void
#

I never understood "unban" passes even before the EULA was actively enforced.

heavy rapids
#

let's move to an oil rig off the shore for that

#

well, the more money a customer gives you the more time you can spend dealing with his behavior

#

so it makes sense from the financial standpoint

void void
#

Not really, at 10 dollars that's not hard to figure out a unban is not worth it. Now if we are talking 50+ bucks it may be worth dealing with them.

#

Due to the past/possible damages of doing so.

heavy rapids
#

I'd make it scale by offence

#

insult ban? $10
hacked client ban? $50
caused staff a load of work? $100

void void
#

Crashing an entire server for an hour? $1000+ lol.

heavy rapids
#

yeah

#

now I just need a server and I can print free monies

void void
#

lol.

golden gust
#

It's pretty much just an easy cash grab

#

Especially for faction type servers where, well, finding people to ban is easy

unreal quarry
#

speaking of bans. someone got banned from my server this morning 😦 turns out the hacked clients have updated to 1.14.2 already

void void
#

I beaten you to thanks to idiots who happily burred it out. 🤣

unreal quarry
#

thinking about poking around stonar's xray patch this weekend, tbh

#

but i'm lazy so might not even look. just the thought of what it might contain scares me

golden gust
#

I have a gist with some level of progress on it

#

Just, overall :S

void void
#

That would remove most of the the annoying cheaters as the remainder typically shows up later. However minus the real disaster ones like item, lore, etc crashers.

unreal quarry
#

was going to PR to paper, but i vaguely remember you saying something about not wanting that behavior

golden gust
#

It basically ends up creating a similar type of confusion, and firing the event lets plugins touch it so servers can decide what they want to do with that

limber knotBOT
#

Is this the Krusty Krab

void void
#

No this is Patrick.

austere ivy
#

pretty sure this is papermc

tropic flame
austere ivy
#

^ yeah how'd that happen?

golden gust
#

lol

austere ivy
#

I'm confused on that. There wasn't any of that before so how were those rules needed?

unreal quarry
#

hmm. i see. i think i disagree. i'd rather have an extra 5-10 seconds of boot time where the server doesnt respond than to be responding with invalid information. kinda reminds me of how Windows 7+ claims to have faster boot times simply by showing you the desktop before its fully ready to be used and you end up with a desktop for 1-2 minutes thats unresponsive lol

austere ivy
#

are*

limber knotBOT
#

Cant read the rules on IRC

#

Its all a lie

golden gust
#

Because rules of common sense require people to have common sense

limber knotBOT
#

I'm assuming they are just basic human decency rules

void void
#

They are.

#

Nothing supernatural lol.

limber knotBOT
#

Oki

unreal quarry
#

i'm still waiting on Paper to enforce the EULA additions on all the taco haters

#

runs

austere ivy
#

Why were those rules suddenly addde?

golden gust
#

10:16 PM] electroniccat: Because rules of common sense require people to have common sense

austere ivy
#

wait with that EULA shouldn't leaf be prevented from using papermc?

limber knotBOT
#

Because the server has more members now I guess

void void
#

Probably because people brains probably gotten struck in their Minecraft servers lol.

unreal quarry
#

only ~1300 online right now, fuzen 😉

void void
#

Only? lol.

unreal quarry
#

how many on the irc side?

#

i'm not there to witness

limber knotBOT
#

Dunno

void void
#

Yea I don't think bridges provides IRC totals.

unreal quarry
#

he's on irc..

#

lol

golden gust
#

106 people/bots in the channel

unreal quarry
#

i'm impressed its still above 100, tbh

void void
#

Yea but I don't think it supply x amount of people online like Discord.

#

Pretty sure it's just a roster and that's it.

unreal quarry
#

guess it depends on the client. i know hexchat shows counts above the list

void void
#

I see, I haven't seen it but hexaclient is weird.

worn ember

Why...

#

you need to register

no one can get into my acc

They can lol.

how?

That why it's called offline mode.

i think they got g/f and wife backwards @worn ember

how oyu can get ?

limber knotBOT
#

@G​ym​bl​on​sk​i yes?

void void
#

you said something about getting in my acc?

worn ember
#

@unreal quarry obviously you marry her after the accident

limber knotBOT
#

Was just a guess

void void
#

all perms were reseted to my acc

limber knotBOT
#

Check logs / ops file

unreal quarry
#

is this what games are taching people these days @worn ember? lmao

worn ember
#

I'm telling you dude. Your uuid is changing...

void void
#

should i be coowner on pex gorups?

and if anything is missing it also a red flag.

#

does that matter ?

#

Yea lol

limber knotBOT
#

@D​ar​kE​ye​Dr​ag​on what kind of stuff are you doing online that you would have such degenerate ads being suggested for you?

worn ember
#

If everything is based on uuids yes

#

@fuzen#0000 honestly I don't know xD

void void
#

i think it always saying there coowner

#

because if pieces of the logs are missing then that means the hacker was trying/is covering their applesauces.

#

how to put it to say owner?

limber knotBOT
#

Report it for being an overly sexist game

what this has to do with logs

limber knotBOT

Not that google cares DarkEyeDragon

#

no one get into my acc

#

or some shit

worn ember
#

It's insta

#

It shows you everything that happened.

or if it isn't then that's a cause for concerns.

worn ember
#

Not that fb cares ;)

void void
#

what happened

limber knotBOT
#

Everything

void void
#

i just dont have perms

#

for everything

limber knotBOT
#

Read the logs

worn ember
#

Ur not even listening

void void
#

Why did you ordered a service that doesn't give you access to your logs lol?

worn ember
#

Why even bother asking

limber knotBOT
#

Maybe you should set online to true

worn ember
#

He probably doesn't know how

limber knotBOT
#

Just a thought

worn ember
#

On the logs thing

void void
#

and what i can do wtih logs?

worn ember
#

Read em

limber knotBOT
#

Read it, it will tell you what happened

#

Its kinda what a log is

void void
#

you can view everything that happened, at what time, who did it, etc etc etc.

worn ember
#

Just press alt+f4 3 times

#

Ez fiz

#

Fix

limber knotBOT
#

I don't have alt pls help

void void
#

But like I said if some of that is missing you should sound the alarms.

#

look how can it say in logs

#

that i dont have perms?

worn ember
#

I don't have an "any" key

limber knotBOT

no one deleted them

No u

They can delete IN them though so read them and see if that's the case OR if it tell you what happened to your server.

limber knotBOT

No alt

worn ember

He's not even reading our messages let alone read logs smh

limber knotBOT

UwU

#

I know right? 🤦

#

i dont get it

limber knotBOT
#

I'm taking #UwU

void void
#

i am saying no one came to my acc or deleted them

#

how it can be in logs when nothing happened

#

what should be saying in logs? Gymblonski permissions deleting...

#

processing 99%

#

stuck on 99%

golden gust
#

Did you switch permission systems or something?

void void
#

no

limber knotBOT
#

Have you tried using online mode

golden gust
#

Well, what's your perm plugin saying?

worn ember
#

It's his uuid changing

#

Cuz he's in offline mode

#

But he's not listening

void void
#

and how to fix it?

worn ember
#

Use online mode

void void
#

and?

#

i didnt had this problem for 4years

#

with offline mode

#

now i have it?

placid thicket
#

is there anywhere where i can get a plain English version of what was fixed between builds? the notes are always vague and hard for me to translate for users

golden gust
#

If your nick changes in any way, e.g. casing, it will give you a new UUID

void void
#

it didnt changed

#

when i relog i need to type /gamemode 1

golden gust
#

And the commit messages are basically all we've got, we try to keep it clear what it's doing but that's not always viable

void void
#

doesnt put me automaticly how i left

#

its like i give to normal player /gamemode 1

#

after the leaves he loses it

#

now that is happening to my acc

placid thicket
#

that always happens? there is a setting about forcing gamemode, i think its a gamerule but may be in server settings

void void
#

thta wasnt happening 5hours ago

#

now when i cape ig i didnt have anything

#

like op and other things

#

i had to go in console to give myself OP

golden gust
#

I mean, all it really takes to cause stupid issues is for plugins to load in a different order because you updated one or something

#

I'd suggest checking what permission lookups are done etc during login and seeing if anything sticks out

#

Something changed

#

be that something you changed or something that happened externally

placid thicket
#

go to your config and make sure force-gamemode=false is false

merry talon
#

config? my host doesnt give me that

placid thicket
#

the other part is being caused by you using offline mode. don't do that

#

server.properties

i would really hope you can edit your own properties file... if not get a new host

merry talon
#

well can you find me a good free one

placid thicket
#

i can recommend you a dirt cheap one. or you can host your own. you get what you pay for.

Lol imagine good free servers

Also retarded but cool

#

Does windows have something similar to /dev/events<deviceID> ?

#

lol

#

it has a system event logger

#

For keyboarder*/dev/input/events

#

That doesn't require a C-API phoenix616 ?

#

I have no idea

#

I know theres windows users here, so I figured id ask

#

I would assume that there are adapters for every language that is popular on windows?

#

so just use java xD

#

Just won't support windows

upper flicker
#

The smart choice thinksmart

limber knotBOT
#

choose whatever you want ¯_(ツ)_/¯

merry talon
#

on windows, nothing is a file

limber knotBOT
#

I can just use the C-API's just feels like aids tbh

#

So ill just not support it till I get around to it

#

I don't use java

#

well java isn't C so I think it fits your question :P

#

Just hate using C-bindings

#

It's an unhealthy allergy

Just buy a 999$ stand and all your issues are solved

A GRAND FER A STAND?!

limber knotBOT
#

people who use stands cleary have too few monitors

old badge
#

I use a shoe box for a stand

golden gust
#

Used to have two monitors, and one had a few dozen books to bring it to a decent height

merry talon
#

people who dont use lambos clearly have too little money

#

so who cares about other cars let's get rid of em

limber knotBOT
#

I used to have two monitors, was pretty horrible as I felt blind on one eye because my third one died ;_;

austere ivy
#

I have one montiro

#

help

#

is also very smol

unreal quarry
#

idk what monitors you guys are buying... but every monitor i've ever owned has come with its own stand

austere ivy
#

Well most have too short of a stand.

#

For the best posture, it should be at eye level.

#

Most monitors are too low.

stiff yarrow
#

wait is the stand actually not included?

unreal quarry
#

so slouch like i do

austere ivy
#

@stiff yarrow no lol

limber knotBOT
#

my stands are somewhere in a corner xD

unreal quarry
#

@stiff yarrow apple stand is $999

limber knotBOT
#

maybe I should sell them for a grand? 🤔

austere ivy
#

🤔

worn ember
#

@golden gust hey that's my current setup haha

unreal quarry
#

next thing you know apple is going to start selling things without power cords and you'll be paying $999 for a cord

worn ember
#

Isn't that basically what they're doing with their adapter

#

It's like $30

golden gust
#

That's cheap considering

stiff yarrow
#

@unreal quarry gold plated

golden gust
#

Oh, wait, you mean a dongle thingy?

worn ember
#

Yeah

#

Apple create problems and then sells solutions

#

Great marketing strategy tbh

austere ivy
#

I mean they're a trillion dollar company

#

seems to be working

golden gust
#

I ditch jira and now there is an app for jira

#

O well

unreal quarry
#

the trick is to do these stupid moves against humanity in bits over time. if apple was to pull anything they do today back in the 80s or 90s no one would have bought anything from them. do small things here and there and let people desensitize to it in between

worn ember
#

Yup

you mean like the bedrock store?

#

worn ember
#

Like I spend $60 on a game and you're going to make me buy more shit? Yeah no thanks

#

I'll just play my $10 games from 5 years ago

#

It's rediculous

unreal quarry
#

wish more people were like that. sadly, enough still pay to be profitable so it continues

limber knotBOT
#

tbh as long as it's just cosmetic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

austere ivy
#

terraria is the best

limber knotBOT
#

(and not secretly gambling I guess)

worn ember
#

No... Not even cosmetics

#

They should be unlockable

#

Through playing

#

I don't see an issue with a straight up "pay 15$ to get a skin"

unreal quarry
#

would you pay for a skin on minecraft if java edition suddenly made them paid only?

limber knotBOT
#

that's a different story

worn ember
#

Pay me $15 and I'll send you some pig skin

limber knotBOT
#

if minecraft never had the ability to freely change the skin? maybe

#

I mean it's worth way more than 5€ to me to begin with xD

unreal quarry
#

so you'll only accept it in bits and pieces like all the other frogs sitting in the pot of boiling water? 😉

pulsar wigeon
#

yea idc about cosmetics tbh

limber knotBOT
#

there's a difference between paying for a product and getting it directly and "hey, you can play and maybe you get the chance to randomly get a drop for a cool item or how about you pay and don't have to pay to get the chance!" (aka gambling)

worn ember
#

I haven't bought a triple A game out of protest in more than 5 years. And clearly I'm the only one lol

limber knotBOT
#

*don't have to play

#

I haven't bought a game for full price in over 10 years, lol

unreal quarry
#

@worn ember i wish i could say the same, but i bought assassins creed origins and all its DLC :3

worn ember
#

Well as long as it's good sure

limber knotBOT
#

only tripple A titles I bought are the ones that go on a 80% sale after 5 years xD

golden gust
#

I erm, "obtained" GTA 5 a few months after it came out on PC

worn ember
#

I have the DVD pack of GTA 5

#

It's 7 disks

#

:)))

golden gust
#

Might have actually been more close to a year or two, was just so fed up with the fact that it took too long for them to release it that I figured I didn't really care about it that much

limber knotBOT
#

what's a dee-vee-dee?

worn ember
#

A better floppy disk

unreal quarry
#

oh, and i've bought skyrim, like 10 times in total between different platforms for myself and a few others

heavy rapids
#

some kind of primitive network download

worn ember
#

I actually still got floppy disks laying around lol

#

And some floppy reader somewhere

#

I got a Leo game lol

limber knotBOT
#

yeah me too xD

#

well not THAT game but yeah

golden gust
#

I tried getting into skyrim, but never had enough time to sit down and play it through and so I wouldn't get back to it for months at a time and I just ended up losing my progress early on too many times that it got boring 😦

unreal quarry
#

its the best game i've ever played, tbh, cat

#

just with it was multiplayer

limber knotBOT
#

yeah I can never get into RPGs either :S

unreal quarry
#

ESO tried, but failed

limber knotBOT
#

they are way too slow for me xD

#

i also tried getting into skyrim but then I took an arrow in the knee 🤣

worn ember
#

I used to play Lord of the rings online

#

Fun mmorpg

unreal quarry
#

i'm an old school table top D&D player, so hearing a game like Skyrim be called slow doesnt compute lol

its extremely fast paced compared

Fun fact: The Electron Forge website doesn't load in Firefox. Proof that only Blink matters now.

@unreal quarry tell that to windows complaining about opened programs when it is almost full 🤔

It's fine tho. I got the extra 24 ram for cheap from download more ram dot com
