Random Questions: The Revenge

[Marelo]

Why are people so dependent on mp3 players? I accidentally separated a friend of mine from her iPod for a week, and she couldn't stop thinking about it, and said she was going crazy without it, even though she knew where it was and that it was safe.

Why is it that I had a great question when I thought to make this thread a few hours ago, but can't remember it now?

[Pip Boy]

I don't have an iPod, but I know that I like to have music playing for a variety of things. I actually keep a playlist on my computer for whenever I'm playing WoW or Xbox LIVE, and am working on making a playlist tied to each game.

[Viridis]

I have one and see everyone around me wearing one. Makes me a little worried everyone's getting a little too shut in. I've had a small group of friends walk somewhere in silence because everyone was listening to something, and that really bugged me.

[Marelo]

Viridis gets it.

Why is it that Kansas weather is so ridiculous? Yesterday, we had 70 degree weather... and then it snowed at 1 in the morning today.

[Lady Cygnet]

Why do people insist on having computers and high speed internet choose to remain willfully ignorant about how their shit works? I have the worst luck when it comes to callers, and I always get the biggest idiots possible. I try to be patient, but I always end up wanting to strangle someone by the end of the call.

[Nique]

If there's anything that tells me that the robot apocolypse will destory us all, it's when someone tries to change the channel on their television with a turnstyle telephone.

[CelesJessa]

Why do people insist on having computers and high speed internet choose to remain willfully ignorant about how their shit works?

I'm guessing the same reason people use electricity or televisions or pretty much any technology ever and don't really know how they really work.

Although it is really frustrating explaining anything about computers to someone who knows nothing about them. I can understand your need to kill them. XD

If someone were sent hurtling into the sun, would they be crushed by the gravity or incinerated by the heat first?

[Tev]

If someone were sent hurtling into the sun, would they be crushed by the gravity or incinerated by the heat first?I would imagine heat first since being on the day side of any of the inner planets without a protective atmosphere is a recepie for flash-burned lifeform.

[Bells]

If someone were sent hurtling into the sun, would they be crushed by the gravity or incinerated by the heat first?

I'm pretty sure they would die of old age... or lack of Oxygen. Seriously, there is like, totally not air between here and the sun. Put your head outside the planet, you can check it for yourself!

On a less jackassly note, The heat would do it first. It has waaay much more range.

now here is a noodle burner.... what the hell did i just typed "noodle burner"?

...ok.

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?

[CelesJessa]

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?

Because of tradition. The same reason girls spend crazy amounts on a wedding dress when they could buy a much cheaper dress to get married in.

EDIT: Also, Chocolate eggs are dang delicious, moreso than just a normal chocolate bar.

[Tev]

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?Because everyone knows bunnies don't lay chocolate candy bars. It takes time and money to get them to lay those chocolaty cream filled eggs once a year.

How did you make it through childhood without learning that? 0_o

[The SSB Intern]

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?
It's what Jesus wants. And the creme stuff that's in the eggs. I like it, but I guess most people don't.

[phil_]

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?Because their children want them and they want to give them to their children.

[Eltargrim]

What is your opinion of this (http://www.zewars.com/aw2k/LotImg13226.jpg)?

[bluestarultor]

What is your opinion of this (http://www.zewars.com/aw2k/LotImg13226.jpg)?

It looks too big for you. :p

Naw, but seriously, it's simple and elegant, and while the stone isn't huge, the thing is either silver or platinum, which are both real metal, and white gold otherwise, which, while not real gold of any quality (lots of nickel, most likely), is still worth something.

[Eltargrim]

Well, given that the stone does not need to be huge, and it is 14 carat white gold, I think it'll be acceptable :p

The idea was more for comments on the style; you're basically thinking the same as I am, and given I've seen some hideously ornate rings out there, I felt that a simple, modern counter is appropriate.

I'll be going to get it tomorrow, methinks.

Here's another question: where do your tastes lie? Simple vs ornate!

[bluestarultor]

Frankly, it doesn't matter how complex something is (to me) so long as it's elegant. Obviously, if it's busy, it goes off the deep end into gaudy, but even a complex pattern can be elegant if done correctly, which can show a lot of class in the buyer. For instance, there's nothing wrong with a marquis cut if it suits the style of the ring, where a brilliant might not do it justice by being too big or just plain too round when the style doesn't call for it. It's perfect for a more angular ring, where a brilliant looks best with other rounded forms.

[Eltargrim]

I have *no* idea what you just said. My policy on buying jewellery is as follows:

1) Is it pretty?
2) Is it classy?
3) Can I afford it?

If I can answer yes to all three, then there we go. It's served me well so far.

Taste is something I have a hard time acquiring. On the bright side, some things I just have a feel for (Furniture is my bitch).

EDIT: Oh, gemstone cuts. I see now. Kind of.

[bluestarultor]

A brilliant cut is what you have there. A marquis cut is shaped like a lemon, with the same idea for the bottom, and often preserves more of the stone.

[Eltargrim]

Cool. I learned something today. Cheers :D

Random question: If you had to watch all of Star Wars, would you watch it 123456, 456123, or 451236?

Why was I so dang cynical yesterday? Sheesh. Sorry.


Here's another question: where do your tastes lie? Simple vs ornate!

My tastes lie in cheapness. XD The girl next to me in my art history class is always talking about her jewelry and how the cheapest piece of jewelry she owns is $40, and I secretly say to myself "man, I don't think all of my jewelry added up equal $40." :sweatdrop
But I do like simple. At least as far as jewelry goes, although I like it to have some sort of unique feature, AKA it doesn't look like every other ring out there. So something more like this (http://www.aclutx70th.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/blue-diamond-rings.jpg) or this (http://www.sndgems.com/pink_sapphire_diamond_rings1.jpg) rather than this (http://www.anzorjewelrycorp.com/jewelry/ring-russian-5028.jpg).

Random question: If you had to watch all of Star Wars, would you watch it 123456, 456123, or 451236?

Probably 456123, just like I did originally.

New Question: (I like these question that actually get people to answer instead of just rhetorical questions)
What is your ring tone right now?

Mine is currently the Codec call sound from Metal Gear. XD I have it so my miniscreen has a picture with "[CALL]" on it that I see when checking the caller ID.

I'm a nerd!

[The Argent Lord]

What is your ring tone right now?

I honestly have no idea. It is always on vibrate. Always. It used to be the Doom Song from Invader Zim, but then I got a new phone that doesn't let me set recorded sound as a ringtone. :/

[Corel]

What is your ring tone right now?


This lovely gem! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UYwh_DfuL0)

So I have been informed that girls from the Asia-Pacific area wear a key as jewellery (In the form of a necklace or an earring) once they reach 21 years of age. I'm not sure if this is a Malaysian tradition or whether this spans into other countries like China or not. Anyone know the origin or the symbolism of this?

[phil_]

My phone rings when it rings. Also, it does flip open or out, nor does it slide in any direction. It doesn't take pictures and it doesn't play music. It's just a phone.

I'm not saying I'm happy with it, but it works well enough most of the time, except when it doesn't.

[Melfice]

What is your ring tone right now?

I have a ring tone now?
When did I get a mobile phone? o___0

My random question(s):
Why is it I always get weird looks from people when I mention I don't have a car/driver's license or a mobile phone?
Why do they give me a look of pity when I tell them I don't need either of those?

[Marelo]

My ring tone is a funky jazz number which came with the phone.

How many people are dyeing eggs tonight?

[Wigmund]

My phone's on vibrate, can't have it ringing in class - bad things happen.
Used to have the theme to the old Battlestar Galactica for my ringtone, then I sent that phone through the wash :(

[PyrosNine]

My ring tone is a funky jazz number which came with the phone.

We have the same ringtone, you and I. Don't doubt it.

Why, on Easter, people pay a lot of cash on those chocolate eggs when they could buy a LOT more chocolate with the same cash if they bought chocolate bars?

I don't know what you're talking about. Usually you can get a giant chocolate bunny of pure milk chocolate for less than $2 at the local pharmacy or grocery store, which is often cheaper and more accessible than buying huge chunks of chocolate at a chocolatier.

After Easter, you can get them for $0.50 each, so that's a lot of good, thick, chocolate, perfect for keeping in a clean cupboard and cutting off chunks to sate a chocolate craving with a warm knife.

I will being getting my choco-lat on tomorrow, and I shall be a happy Pyros.

...oh, you said Chocolate Eggs....my point still stands though, sorta.

[synkr0nized]

What is your ring tone right now?

the flute solo starting at 6:49 here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1bkcnMC1yk) [source]

alternatively, Osaka's flute solo at 9:28 in AMV Hell 3 - The Motion Picture [where I first heard it]

Now and then I've also used Asuka's theme, the opening to Trigun, and Dizzy's theme. I really dig your codec use, though.

[Mirai Gen]

Depends on who's calling me, as I have them all set to different Robot Masters from Mega Man 9.

Kevin is Magma Man, John is Plug Man, unknown numbers are Tornado Man, and the list goes on. And my mom is Splash Woman, cause I'm single and I have no chick friends who call me except for Cheyanne and she's got the Gundam Wing song for a reason that takes too long to explain.

Its worth noting that text messages is Navi's "Hey!", E-mail alerts are the "Dominating!" theme from TF2, MySpace to my phone is "Revenge!" from the same, and Bout Won! from Mike Tyson's Punch Out is new Facebook messages.

I've been either thinking about the Codec Call or Alert! as well, but CJ beat me to it.

Holy shit I am a colossal geek.

[Meister]

Pig Mask Army.

[Kim]

If my cellphone let me download custom ringtones I'd probably either have the same as Meister or Unfounded Revenge.

[Meister]

I painstakingly pieced the thing together with the built-in ringtone editor. My cell phone is from ancient times. Doesn't actually sound quite right yet but the editor's pretty limited.

[Kim]

That takes dedication. I'm impressed.

[CelesJessa]

I painstakingly pieced the thing together with the built-in ringtone editor. My cell phone is from ancient times. Doesn't actually sound quite right yet but the editor's pretty limited.

Ah hah. Is that why you needed that score of the Pig Mask Army theme?

One thing I always make sure of when getting a new phone is that it allows me to set recorded sound as the ring tone because heck if I'm going to download anything.

New Question!
What music are you listening to right now? Not necessarily what is playing right now, but what kind of stuff have you been listening to lately?

I've been listening to Metal Gear music as well as Disney music (I got a huge CD of, like, 80 Disney songs for my birthday). A strange mix but... Oh and "Still alive" from Mirror's Edge, which I also got for my birthday, but it doesn't work on my computer. :(

[Kim]

Been listening to the MadWorld soundtrack, full versions of the Fullmetal Alchemist opening and closing themes, and some Hyadain.

Question: Is it bad manners to assume that any artist who says they're interested in working with you on your comic will immediately fall off the face of the Earth the day before they plan on getting a page done?

[Melfice]

I've been listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan almost exclusively for the past few weeks.
Such sweet music.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

What is your ring tone right now?

Mine vibrates, nothing more, mainly because I never hear it and/or because damn ringing phones annoy the fuck out of me.

What music are you listening to right now? Not necessarily what is playing right now, but what kind of stuff have you been listening to lately?


Well, right now I'm listening to a whole bunch of Demon Hunter tracks that I just stole from a friends computer, along with a shit ton of Disturbed, Amon Amarth, Bullet for my Valentine, Devil Driver, Dope, Incubus, Korn, Lostprophets, Mudvayne, Muse, Mushroomhead, Pantera and a little bit of Dragonforce that I didn't have before.

But mostly lately I've become obsessed with Kamelot, who I've introduced to most of my friends, because apparantly no one has heard of them and they are awesome beyond words.


Why can I not think of a decent question to ask to finish off this post?

[phil_]

I'm listening to the same garbage I've been listening to for at least a year: The Aquabats, the Eureka Seven OSTs, Mario Galaxy's OST, Brawl's soundtrack, and スーパーシャッターガール.

Maybe I'll get some more COOL & CREATE to hear something new.

[Meister]

Is there such a thing as garlic flavoured potato chips? Cause I could go for some right now but don't think I've ever seen some in a store.

[Melfice]

Is there such a thing as garlic flavoured potato chips? Cause I could go for some right now but don't think I've ever seen some in a store.

... I'm fairly certain Pringles at least had something like that, but I haven't had Pringles in a LONG time.

[synkr0nized]

I have seen garlic and onion (http://www.taquitos.net/snacks.php?snack_code=265), but I can't recall ever seeing a garlic alone. According to the Pringles website, they do not have a garlic flavour currently.

Along similar lines, when it comes to popcorn, which of the following do you prefer?
- kettle
- bag/microwave popped
- movie theatre
- bought in the store in bags pre-popped

Alternatively, buttered, caramel, or cheese popcorn?

Either cinema style, or one of those nifty spinning cooker things. Those are awesome.

As for additives; salt. Lots and lots of salt.

[Mirai Gen]

Cheese popcorn is awesome, though I try and refrain from any of it since it usually means my salt intake goes through the roof which results in any decent length movie being interrupted.

I painstakingly pieced the thing together with the built-in ringtone editor. My cell phone is from ancient times. Doesn't actually sound quite right yet but the editor's pretty limited.

So THAT'S why you wanted the notechart for Pig Mask Army.

EDIT: I should really figure out what to put Might is Right but Tight to.

[mammothtank]

Why are people so inattentive when ordering food at a fast food place? Many times have I seen people come into Wendy's or pull up to the drive-thru and ask for Chicken McNuggets, a Happy Meal, or a McDouble. Do people just assume that every fast food place is a McDonalds?

Oh, and white cheddar popcorn is where it's at. Totally. Butter is good, white cheddar is better.

[synkr0nized]

I went through a McDonald's drive-thru and ordered a Blizzard. I blame the fact that I don't ever go to McDonald's, not liking them overall, and that I was actually on the way to a DQ when I realized the former was closer and turned. Thankfully they didn't correct me and let it slide, while I did a mental "doh" when it came up on the screen with the correct name.



Can you still name the capitals of all fifty states? I sure can't anymore, though that's one of the things everyone seems to have learned back in grade school (interestingly the names of the fifty states, the national anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, the quote on the Statue of Liberty, and things like the Bill of Rights I can recall, but these city names, save for a few, didn't retain).

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I learnt the Capitals from an animaniacs song but don't really remember them. It came up at pub quiz the other day. I got about 10.
Fortunately my teammate who is our geography freak got all 50.

[Mirai Gen]

I learnt the Capitals from an animaniacs song but don't really remember them.
This is something cartoons should do more often; hey here's a completely hilarious song about geography or history.

Lake Titicaca is frequently stuck in my head for days.

[Funka Genocide]

My coworkers and I tried to name as many state capitals as we could a few weeks back, for whatever reason. We failed miserably. I think I can remember more capital cities of European countries than United States capitals.

[Eldezar]

Ringtone: A version of an old-style of phone from the forties, because it is actually one of the least annoying tones my phone provides. If I can ever figure out why my music won't transfer from computer to phone, then I want to give all of my contacts individual ones. Particularly ones like "I'm so Emo' for my emo friend, something Jack Black or Chris Farley for my outrageous friend, Limp Bizkit or Metallica for my asshole friend, Leo Laport for my tech friend and other crap.

Music: Lots and lots of Power Metal, Kamelot included, one of my favorites.

The Drive-thru: I had the same thing. For me, if someone asked for McNuggets, I said "Sorry, but we can get you a 5 piece with real chicken in them and a breading that doesn't make your mouth feel pasty." People asked for McFlurries a lot, too. Do you ever have people who ask "Is a frosty like ice cream?"

Popcorn: I like the variety packs that come in the big tin. I think they normally have regular, caramel and cheese, so no need to pick and choose.

Question: pending

[Meister]

I've been listening to the first two Pogues albums. Ownership should be mandatory.

[Funka Genocide]

oh, drive thru!

I've never worked fast food, so I have no sympathy, I'll order the vaguest possible thing ever.

"Uh... let me get some chicken and uh... stuff"

My girlfriend works at a drive thru though, so I've curbed my malicious tendencies a bit.

[CelesJessa]

Can you still name the capitals of all fifty states? I sure can't anymore,

I don't think I ever could. I never had to learn them for school. Bravo, public education.


Popcorn- I love Kettle corn! But pretty much any popcorn that isn't too salty is great.

[Loyal]

Popcorn: I work at a movie theatre, usually working as the upstairs doorman, so I'm right next to the room where we make the popcorn.

It is so delicious fresh out of the popping maching you hvae no idea. The heat and oil even softens up the unpopped part of the kernel so I can chew on it.

[phil_]

"Theater workers who understand that theater popcorn is the best popcorn" high-five!

Wait, can I still technically do that?

[synkr0nized]

I feel like it's the worst for me, but it is no doubt the best in its buttery goodness. I am a fan of most popcorn that isn't cheese or caramel (those I enjoy but in much smaller amounts).


Do you folks enjoy camping?
I do.

[Cloud Strife]

What is your ring tone right now?

This one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0KOfTV1dbc)
I always love showing that off. :D

Also I love kettle corn and I've sadly never really been camping. :(

Anyone else itching for the realms to get back up so we can check out the new patch?

[Corel]

Do you folks enjoy camping?
I do.

Depends on the type of camping really. Camping on it's own is alright enough. However going on several day hikes which just so happens to include you camping in what could perhaps be the worst places to set up camp for the night is when it is most fun.

I find Biviwack-ing more fun than traditional camping. There's something very gratifying of building your own shelter (Even if it does flood completely from torrential rain the next morning, or is trampled on by Cattle...)

[Loyal]

As I recall, patches could be downloaded regardless of realm status. They were very clear on that much.

So question: Why do 8-bit versions of songs (those few that actually are 8-bit) sound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKCOuCDCfAA) so (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFgboslz29E&feature=related) great? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skUaBs23ji0&fmt=18)

[MasterOfMagic]

I "had" to learn the capitols, but avoided it. I don't have a good mind for memorizing seemingly random information like that. That teacher made me cry once, though, so I made up for it.

What the hell was Newton on when he came up with polar coordinates?

[CelesJessa]

Do you folks enjoy camping?
I do.

I enjoy camping, and I'm talking, like, with a tent camping, not a camper camping. There's nothing like sitting around a campfire, making cobbler and hot dogs.

[Eltargrim]

CJ, word to that. I'm a canoe camper, myself; nothing like paddling down a river. Went 140 km in two days once. That was fun.

Oh, and wave trains as tall as I am. What a ride. Thank god there was a portage nearby; it meant we could offload our gear and ride that train all the way to the end :D

EDIT: Oh, and hot dogs? Pfft. Got us some steaks from the local community, plus some Montréal steak spice. Best steak I'd had in years.

[synkr0nized]

I consider going out with campers less camping and more hangin' out in a shoddy house while near some nature. Each can be fun, of course, provided the right friends are along, but *shrug* the latter's not camping.

That said, provided it wouldn't take forever, I'd consider going on an RV-based road trip for a week or so.


More questions to fuel the fire:
Those of you who use an OS that lets you move your taskbar (i.e. not OS X), top, bottom, left, or right (or, if it applies, more than one)? Mac users, where do you put your dock (left, right, bottom)?
- I have done them all, but didn't enjoy the sides for in Windows and have settled for top for the taskbar (no auto-hide). I use the left for the OS X doc, and Ubuntu's top/bottom default has been fine (though I may switch back to an auto-hide left).

[Rokrin]

I personally throw it on the left side. At first it was really awkward but now I cringe when I operate a Windows OS that doesn't have the taskbar on the left. I shrink the bar down enough that the bars for the various applications are just symbols, and the only thing on the "Start" menu is the Windows symbol.

[Corel]

On Windows I have it to the default bottom left, as a result of years of interface conditioning.

However on Kubuntu I never even touch the taskbar; ALT + F2 all the way baby!

On other distributions I tend to just use the command line.

What is the mechanism psychology for hibernation? Would humans ever be able to do such a thing? I wish we could for the Winter months. I even made a name up for it and all; Siestamester!

[Cloud Strife]

Loyal: Well yes, and I have the patch downloaded, however, I want to actually -play- the new content, not just read up on it.

Also, I put my taskbar on the top. Dunno why, but I love it.

I used to keep my taskbar on the left, but I just do the default now. Too lazy to set everything up, just to be thrown off a bit when I use other computers.

How many people here use a lanyard to keep track of keys?

[Loyal]

Wherever I go, my lanyard goes.

[synkr0nized]

I am one of the only people I know, offline anyway, who has one.

[Mirai Gen]

I like camping but I'm such a brain-hungry person I often end up taking my DS for those long nights where you have literally nothing to do cause its so dark other than sit around and talk, just in case you run out of stuff to talk about (or hate the company you're with).

[Eltargrim]

If you are actually awake for those long nights, you're doing it wrong. The idea is to be so tired that you sleep from dark to at least dawn, if not well past dawn.

Or you could look at the stars, what with there being no light pollution and all.

My lanyard is for my flash drives. My keys are on a carabiner, as is my multitool.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Nah nighttimes when camping are for pulling super pranks on other tents and also playing cards with mad bluffing because the opponents can't really see your cards when they on the table. And for gin. Bottles and bottles of gin, the one and only camping drink.
Also yeah kayak camping is awesome. Last tie we went we had too much stuff so our kayaks were very low in the water and everything got soaked. Our tents dried out pretty quickly, our clothes not so.

[Zilla]

People move their taskbars?


Why?

At school, I had to use OS-X, so I put the dock on the bottom to try to emulate Windows as much as possible. RTS games usually have their interfaces on the bottom also (I guess WarCraft 1 and 2 are exceptions, but StarCraft made the bottom the standard).

Also whoever posted the 8bit remixes neglected perhaps the best one ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCTjdEYpD2I&feature=related)

Edit: found a much better version.

New question:

When you're sick, what do you do to get better ASAP. Grandma's secret recipe soup? Sleeping all day?

Myself I tend to start drinking apple juice and cranberry juice (I don't like orange juice) and eating soup in hopes that it will fight it off. I have been taking some cold medicine but I ran out. Blah.

I tend to try and pump myself full of Vit C. Oranges or Vit C chews do the trick. Cranberry juice is also nice, as is apple juice. Depends what kind of sickness it is otherwise. If it's a stomach thing, I have some dry toast and ginger ale and try to lie down. If it's a cold, I blow my nose a lot to get the snot out and just try and take it easy.

[Funka Genocide]

When I am sick, I just remember that I am a hard man, and hard men do not have time for illness.

Yours are the antibodies that will pierce the heavens! Who the hell do you think we are?!

I haven't been bedridden with illness for 4 years. I've had sniffles that may have been allergies, considering their timing (spring after it warms up, fall when the leaves are blowing around).

Also, except for the last time I threw up from reacting to a test drug at a drug study program, I haven't thrown up in even longer.

[Mirai Gen]

Mostly I just drink tons of water and sleep it off. My immune system is mostly built out of steel so half the time I don't even get sick but when I do it puts me out.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Yeah I am generally pretty healthy and don't really get flus and colds and aches and things. But when I get sick, I get really really sick.
Then I load up with drugs like a small africa country.

[Melfice]

I prefer the "Kick back and take it easy" method for whatever illnesses I have.
Generally that approach means I get rid of whatever bug's in my system within the day.
However... bosses usually disagree with this method, preferring me to rather down half a carton of paracetamol before letting me go home and rest up. (understandable, of course, don't get me wrong!)
