This is really cool. It will guess the character you are thinking of very accurately

http://us.akinator.com/

I love the way you can add a new character and suggest pictures and such.

simple.
it has thousands of different names stored in it's database
whenever you post an answer, it filters all the names matching your answer

lemme give you an example:

Q: Male?
A: Yes.
Q: Real?
A: No.
Q: Famous from TV series?
A: Yes.
Q: Plays in a cartoon?
A: Yes.
Q: Younger than 20?
A: Yes.
Q: Wears a hat?
A: Yes.
Q: Lives with both parents?
A: No.

who am I thinking of?

Wow. It knew it was thinking about the Heavy from TF2. :D I would give you +rep, TH, but the site doesn't me allow to. :(

PS: I have won Akinator! He didn't know my character.

It's gotta be a relatively famous figure, lol.

Fun app on iPhone. I remember it guessed my Grom Hellscream.

Well, he got JC Denton. Well played, Akinator.

EDIT: And Alex Roivas. I suspect actual magic.

EDIT V2: And Maximilian Roivas. Yes, actual magic.

it got both of my anime questions right

L and Takashi Komuro from HOTD.

It even got Chuck norris.

The only person he got wrong was the main character from sekirei, Minato

It got really close with when they picked sing of kung fu hustle, i was thinking of the steel leg from shaolin soccer.

It even got DAY9, Husky, and Freddie wong, and Chopin

It got Grigori Perelman after like fifteen guesses. It also got that dwarf from Morrowind, and Akinator's Brother.

I tried Grigori Rasputin.

It got Leon Trorsky first, but that's inaccurate since he did rule Russia at a point, though briefly.

Second, it got Mikhail Bakunin.

Third it got Rasputin.

Darn.

    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
