The CWAL Rubber Room

Dear Lothos: Since you've shown an interest in the Ontario Provincial Election, Doug Ford's PC party is now being investigated for widespread electoral fraud, and identity theft, but it's so close to the election nothing might come of it until *after*, and his base seems to not care in the slightest! - Psycho Sam! 09:43:50 12018-05-21
- This is like, the absolute least important part of your post but: I'm pretty sure the 407 isn't part of the Trans-Canada highway. The Trans-Canada doesn't come this far south. [NT] - Fron 11:07:22 12018-05-21
  - That's weird, for some reason I thought all of the 400s were part of the trans-canada. [NT] - Psycho Sam! 11:14:39 12018-05-21
    - Some casual Googling tells me that is quite wrong... My bad. [NT] - Psycho Sam! 11:19:00 12018-05-21
All right, Book Squad, what should I read next?? And don't say "More Culture books" because they're all unavailable in ebook form for some reason [NT] - Dorg 08:31:03 12018-05-16
- John Dies At The End, and its two sequels if you fancy. [NT] - Jarick 07:30:43 12018-05-20

- I'll chime in with something I don't remember seeing mentioned here before: The "Rogues of the Republic" trilogy, which is by one of Bioware's main writers and is by no means Great Literature but was an enjoyable sort of fluff (renaissance-fantasy heist stories). - Fron 22:29:32 12018-05-16
  - We've got the first Rogues of the Republic book on a bookshelf and are looking forward to it. Read the blurb and was sold about four or five different times by the end. [NT] - Lothos 22:14:08 12018-05-17

- To break from all the sci-fi, the Witcher series is surprisingly (perhaps not so much when you consider the games are based on the books, not the other way around) great. Very "Game of Thrones" take on medieval worldbuilding, though it lacks the endless sprawl that will rob us all of closure. [NT] - Inconsequential Lurker 22:19:51 12018-05-16

- I just finished "The Stench of Honolulu" and it's one of the most CWAL-style books I've ever read. It's by none other than Jack Handey of Deep Thoughts fame. Also very short. [NT] - Arcturus 15:30:08 12018-05-16
  - I've just started reading this and it's mad and hilarious and so very CWAL. [NT] - The V Man 14:39:23 12018-05-19
  - Is it more CWAL than the opening chapter of The Gone-Away World? [NT] - Fron 20:14:22 12018-05-16
    - I haven't read that so I can't say. But as an example, here's one of the lines from an early chapter: "I went to check on the new sidewalk. It was smooth again. There was no sign anywhere of my footprints, my handprints, or my face print. It was as if I had never existed." [NT] - Arcturus 10:48:01 12018-05-17
- My most recent reads are the latest book in the Expanse series and wrapping up the Broken Earth trillogy. Both very enjoyable. [NT] - Frito 13:19:32 12018-05-16
- On a more serious note, I recently finished the Remembrance of Earth's Past series by Cixin Liu. Starts with The Three Body Problem. A very deep book series with some profound ideas. [NT] - Tssha 09:06:52 12018-05-16
  - Yeah, that trilogy was fantastic! I especially liked the first book. I thought it was going to be lame and hyped-up for the sake of political correctness, but it was legitimately great hard sci-fi IMO. The perspective was interesting too, it didn't have the same core philosophies that most other sci-fi sticks to [NT] - Dorg 09:22:46 12018-05-18

        Yeah, I last ran into him at a sort of highschool band reunion thing we had at a pub shortly after he finished his PhD and I was asking if he had a postdoc lined up and he told me sorta, he was getting his own lab and I was like :O - Fron 00:00:17 12018-05-15

Four devices connected to the TV, and the TV itself is a media player, and still I've got nothing I can watch from the couch that can play the stupid goddamn fucking hipster fringe video codecs that everybody uses to encode movies and TV shows.

  - But VLC doesn't run directly on my TV, or the PS4 or the PSR or the XBox 360 or the Wii U, and I prefer to watch movies sitting on the couch rather than having to grab an extra chair from the dining room to crowd around the desk with the missus. [NT] - Psycho Sam! 09:05:11 12018-04-29
    - We are in the same boat as you, Blinky: we're using an old laptop plugged into the TV via HDMI to play movies and TV off plugin storage drives with VLC, using a wireless mouse and keyboard. Of course, that approach assumes you have an old laptop lying around? [NT] - Lothos 22:26:29 12018-04-29

        h265 is a perfectly cromulent standard (it's like, the official MPEG group's next version of h264) and it encodes a fair bit smaller at better quality, it's just a lot of existing stuff was built before it started getting popular, and a lot of devices that play h264 rely on hardware decoder support, which isn't there for h265 - Vektor 00:57:12 12018-04-30
      - Basically smart TVs are trash, so never rely on them to actually do a thing (or not record your living room and transmit it out of country for analysis) and also embedded devices are trash and console makers have no financial incentive to help you watch shit you've downloaded from the internet. - Vektor 17:34:09 12018-04-29

        Hmm, maybe I'm mixing Plex up with something else.. as I understood it, Plex is intended solely for piracy and has lots of plugins to automatically stream pirated stuff. If you leave that part out, it looks like all it does is stream media files off a host computer to devices on your local network? And I guess that Plex is a proprietary fork of an open-source project that does the same stuff? [NT] - Dorg 18:43:22 12018-04-29
        It's a media library program. Photos, music, and video. In semi-current jargon, it's a "personal/private/home cloud" media server that can also function over the internet as well. Now as to how you obtain your library of media, that's another matter. (Paid version has DVR capabilities now as well) [NT] - TheDeamon 10:24:04 12018-05-03

        gonna guess some bug i don't feel like investigating right now where the code that turns urls into links recognizes https but the code that ignores them if they're in an image tag only recognizes http. [NT] - Fron 14:19:57 12018-04-28

        I've got a pile of 4GB thumbdrives here, but "4GB" drives only hold 3.7GB of data, and nobody makes 5GB drives, so minimum I'd need is an 8GB, which I know I have (and a 32 somewhere!) but cannot find to save my life. [NT] - Psycho Sam! 09:36:50 12018-04-29

  - I have an incredibly hard time taking seriously anyone who uses the term SJW unironically. As a phrase it's basically meaningless, and if it even had a meaning to begin with, it's been diluted by anyone and everyone using it to complain about anything. [NT] - Tssha 15:02:39 12018-04-27 [FB]

Can you wear something so long that your flesh actually grows around it and it becomes part of your body? The answer is yes I guess. - Rabbi Sheckles 10:58:36 12018-04-27

  - Like, how thoroughly were they cleaning this child [NT] - Psycho Sam! 12:13:09 12018-04-27
    - I'll be honest, if the kid picked it up without the parents noticing, and it was hidden beneath clothes or skin flaps, and given it was close to flesh coloured to begin with...it's not inconceivable that they missed it. And they likely refused to believe it at first for exactly the reasons you cited. [NT] - Tssha 12:41:16 12018-04-27
      - But, like, you have to take the kid's clothes off to bathe it. How long would something like this take? [NT] - Psycho Sam! 18:32:28 12018-04-27

So the Toronto guy was another incel rampage. Directly repped Elliot Rodgers and 4chan on Facebook before the attack. - Inconsequential Lurker 15:10:37 12018-04-24

  - These guys never actually shoot the actual bullies though. Just innocent people. That's what's really frustrating. [NT] - Rotten 12:40:49 12018-04-28
- Funny, I came here to post this too. I was going to say that, due to my involvement with CWAL and gaming forums ~15-20 years ago, I actually feel like I've seen this type of character close up.

That Lost In Space series on Netflix is really, really good. Watched about ten episodes in a day...series only has ten episodes so far. Consumed my whole Saturday. - Tssha 10:44:09 12018-04-22
- I still miss the fishbowl head robot, but didn't dislike the one they went with. I really enjoyed the series, and hope that it gets a followup, unlike the movie from the 90s that was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy and they never made any more. - Psycho Sam! 10:59:18 12018-04-22
  - Yeah, I kind of rolled my eyes at the robot when I watched the trailer. Still haven't checked out the series proper yet. [NT] - Sassypants McJerkface 11:32:30 12018-04-23
  - Not familiar with Matt Leblanc, but I did really like Don West. That guy was cool, hilarious and chill. [NT] - Tssha 11:13:47 12018-04-22

Is it weird that literally the only reason I've even considered getting an XBox One is because Microsoft is bringing back the XBox Live avatar system? I miss having a little cartoon me to interact in very limited ways with my friends. [NT] - Psycho Sam! 09:04:10 12018-04-18
- It's kind of funny to me that you're considering getting one since over here it just made it to the chopping block - Ravage! 17:10:04 12018-04-20
  - Oh, I'm not considering getting one, just lamenting the fact that I miss the fun little avatars, and worry that if Sony tried something similar we'd get Playstation Home back. [NT] - Psycho Sam! 17:43:54 12018-04-20
- Wait, are there other potential reasons out there or something? [NT] - Legacy 11:16:51 12018-04-20
