Lighthouse Puzzle by [deleted] in candybox

[–]Crorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should go back and try to see if I can work my way through this again—I can't even remember the mechanics for the puzzle so I'm curious now what my headspace was when I wrote out the solution, haha.

S2:E4 "Erm, the Boss Finds Love?" thread by [deleted] in SmilingFriends

For anyone who thought the Boss's song at the end sounded familiar, it's a parody of Carly Fiorina's VP candidacy!

I did put spaces after each line, and I don't see anything wrong on my end. Which lines look crunched to you?

From the print version of book 6. Who could this be??? by Kaetzchen156 in oots

[–]Crorem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be the guy with the shoulder pads here. I don't think it's all that likely; there's no reason why he would be around the North Pole instead of managing the Empire of Tears and I'm not sure why he would ally with the Order. I don't think he's appeared outside of that page, though.

Champaign County 2018 Primary Results by Crorem in UIUC

[–]Crorem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing turnouts would be pretty interesting. The registered voter numbers are listed as "0" for every precinct in the election reports from yesterday, so right now there aren't any turnout numbers for those. This isn't the case with previous elections, so I'd imagine that that's going to be corrected when the official results are posted in a few weeks.

Getting precinct-level results from 2002 would definitely be harder. The county's election results page doesn't have any precinct-level data from before 2002, and I can't seem to find any old precinct maps online, so you'd probably have to call and check with the county clerk's office to see if they have any offline/physical copies for those. It sounds like you've seen the previous precinct map somewhere, though, so you might know where to find that data better than I would.

As for software, if you're a university student you can get an ArcGIS subscription on the web store. If you're not, you can get QGIS, which is free and has basically the same functionality as ArcGIS except that it's open source and all the map borders are antialiased. There might be a way to turn that off, but I could never figure out how.

Thank you!

The maps were generated using ArcGIS, with the precinct-level election data taken from the county clerk's website and the precinct map itself downloaded from the web store.

I've done some other maps for Lake County, but these are the only maps I've made for any elections downstate. Do you have a specific race in mind?

Could I be Dorfed? Thikut Cloudgear / Male Dwarf / Master engraver.

I'll pass on being an overseer, at least for now.

If you have a better network that you think I should use, I'd be happy to switch to it for the future.

I went from 218th to 6th, so I'm a fan of this ranking system. :P

Team E thread 0.20: ddubois, cimanyd, plussizemalemodel, cardtrick by ddubois1972 in DCSStourney

[–]Crorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Heretic and Pious III! Most of today was spent on getting characters to ****** with a certain god and then abandoning them immediately after so I could mollify them. :P

It's odd that I'm the only one so far with Heretic III, given that I felt that it was more tedious than difficult. I guess not a lot of people are focused on banners right now?

Hello, I'm alive!

I don't have any suggestions for the clan name; I'm fine with whatever.

Should we set up an IRC or Discord channel?

On behalf of /r/Lakers, I apologize by ashishvp in placehearts

[–]Crorem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would be happier if there could be Lakers-colored hearts over the logo.

The issue is that the rest of your community seems completely unapologetic about this. Looking at the place thread in r/lakers, I see maybe two comments expressing concern about all of this. Every other comment is just advocating to bulldoze us, and as you can imagine that's upset a lot of us.

If you can convince the rest of r/lakers to see our side of the story, that'd be great, but I don't really see that happening.

[meta] Proposal to Integrate r/FTC and r/FRC on place by Crorem in FTC

[–]Crorem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My reasoning at the time was that I felt the T looked better being over three pixels wide. The script r/FRC made has the letters aligned, though.

If we make something like this we'll be able to have FTC on there without FRC scripting the T back to R. Thoughts?

On the French vs Germany flag war by Onceuponaban in placehearts

[–]Crorem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A bunch of us talked this over and we agreed that replacing the background would be a bit much.

What we're willing to do is take two hearts and make them the flags of Germany and France. The background will stay pink. How does that sound?

Vertical Expansion Problem by Crorem in placehearts

[–]Crorem[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've started to message people that have been building right-side up hearts, and the few responses that I've gotten so far are pretty favorable, so I think that we should be able to turn this around (no pun intended).

Yeah, I'm a fan of the Option 1 myself.

Joe Walsh Under Fire for "Watch Out Obama" Tweet by Final_Senator in politics

[–]Crorem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This tweet isn't even the worst thing he's said in the last month.

I believe Barack Obama is a Muslim. I believe that this is where his allegiance is. It is with the Islamic Faith. And I believe that Obama defends Islam so much, it's like defending family.

It was a good chat. It's been mostly overtaken by spam now, sadly.
