No, not the normal tickets that make people mutter and sometimes curse the police for having to pay hundreds or thousands of shekels in fines. These tickets will be for being magnanimous on the roads and being considerate to other drivers. The ticket will look like a regular ticket but will say it is a positive ticket given with love from the police for the Day of Good Deeds.

Anyone used synergy with a multi monitor setup?

@JasonC Weather getting to you?

Jason C

Somewhat, the short days do magnify it. I'm actually not sure what the problem is. I go through regular cycles, been that way for about 16 years. It's an endless source of frustration.

ɥʇǝS

I have similar problems. Out here in the Puget Sound area winter is mostly just cold with constant cloud cover, which can lead to some serious depression. I don't know about you, but it helps me to get out and do stuff IRL with people.

Hiking, sailing, biking. Something like that.

Jason C

But actually seeing that somebody got that job and thinking that it's totally the job I wanted, and knowing I've literally been talking about "maybe applying" for at least 4 months, is a bit of a wakeup call.

Yeah absolutely.

@JasonC The PM offer comes around every 6 months or so. You'll get another chance.

And, for whatever reason, SE has a problem retaining PMs so you might even get QA..

Jason C

3:58 PM

Depression's a bummer because I'll get stuck in a feedback loop of a mounting todo list => stress => burnout => not having time for anything else => depression => not feeling like doing anything else => repeat.

Yeah we'll see. I'm sure there will be more openings in the future. I'm not worried about it. I'm just super annoyed lately at my lack of motivation. I think I'll just force myself to go do something social today. I'm on the trailing edge of the latest depression cycle. Based on past experience, I should pop out of it very soon and be a normal person again.

Plus the weather's improving. Working on my computer outside on my roof = excellent mood.

Long summer days, can't get enough. Some day I'd like to be able to afford a summer home on the other side of the planet.

6 months of the year in Australia or something.

This was one of my favorite questions on the survey this year, and analyzing these results has been quite the glimpse into the opinions of our community.

+mod, -mod, "e" indicates formal election, on the /election page.

The end of DMA57361's term remains a mystery.

user315433

And it looks like random was randomly appointed.

user315433

Oh, so Diago was kind of re-elected for second term there. So their end of term is also unclear.

New query for JCDE: busiest day in Tavern, i.e. day with most messages. @Jason can you do this? Please? ;)

@hichris123 Normal Human's flags?

I think a point could be made that D.P. was sometimes too aggressive in spam flagging... but at the end of the day, garbage is garbage and IP bans are temporary.

Sigh... a graduate student asked me about a problem on an old qualifying exam, and I couldn't solve it (at least on the spot). Sad thing, I was the one who wrote that exam.

@ShadowWizard We want to review when we were bored at most, do we?

Shadow Wizard

@πάνταῥεῖ nah, that's boring :D

@Jason is bored though

@NormalHuman so you can make exams that you can't solve yourself? Nice. ;)

πάντα ῥεῖ

@ShadowWizard I have to admit I'm bored a bit. I 'm an SO addict, missing those high traffic rates badly. I'm drawing aside for any medium I can actually participate. Drugs are shit :-P

"Drugs are shit" Well, I also have to admit my production equipment is down for various reasons as well. I've gotta completely consolidate again to my comfort zone.

@Shadow THX for calling me a nice person today BTW!

@πάνταῥεῖ hehe, my pleasure! :D

"production equipment"? @πάνταῥεῖ ?

πάντα ῥεῖ

@ShadowWizard That kinda: homebox.net/en/homelab

Shadow Wizard

oh. Nice!

πάντα ῥεῖ

Well, now that all those other PITA's are solved I've gotta set it up again. But that's another minimum 6-8 weeks to get it working out for me :-/

Yeah, I admit I'm an addict in various ways. But I aim to be self supplied!

And learn in depth about the problem domain of course!

@ShadowWizard docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/… first sheet has a chart, second sheet has days sorted by message count. i left out smokey.

1/19/2011	2666
1/4/2011	2573
4/8/2015	2550
1/25/2011	2496
4/7/2015	2397

2/2/2011	2074

chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/89/2011/1/19/0-24

It'd be fun if I had a way to send a message back in time and tell everybody there that that was the busiest day.

Like if you could visit a transcript day and just start chatting.

mind blown

@JasonC Mods can edit the transcript to the same effect.

Ha

@ShadowWizard oops i accidentally left out one-box messages. maybe later. i closed eclipse.

relative order should be pretty much the same though.

Btw, chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/89/2013/5/30, May 30 2013, the Taverns only completely silent day in its entire history.

Makes sense. It took a day to digest this statement.
