lol

Swears at CF first

yeah, I'm middle of 2nd page

3:11 PM

@Quill congrats! What you choose?

uh you get all of them...

Well night!

oh, lol, thought you get to choose

@unikitty night

@UNIKITTY2.0 sleep tight!

What will you do with the rubber duck, @Quill?

3:15 PM

sit it on my desk, I guess

ask it Java questions

hmm.. @Quill off topic note - 2016 Winterbash will begin (hopefully) in 11 months or so.

You might win it too, but that's still not sure.

lol thanks

!!/hats

@ShadowWizard Winterbash is over. :(

When will Smoky begin counting again? @Pro

3:17 PM

When we know the dates of next WB?

oh. Makes some sense.

But we weren't sure about the exact date this year when it started counting, no?

It was a wise guess as far as I remember

there was a countdown on the page

I don't remember when we started counting for past WB.

Anyway I'm not going to add a counter when it's not certain yet. :P

I think @Norm did. Hey, why isn't he pingable??

Because he hasn't posted here recently, duh. :P

He gave up on us

@rene well, at least he keeps his zombie chat account.... ;)

Orphan is better word though, as it got no parent account

huh, OP approved my edit. Yay!

Sorry for the interruption, but how could we help this user?

@DamkerngT. I don't understand why I can't sign up. It is said English Language Learner Stack exchange requires external java script from another domain, which is blocked and failed to load. — student 3 mins ago

@DamkerngT. posted a comment. Those are usually tricky, as it's not on SE side, but on the user's end.

@DamkerngT. Load their Javascript for them? O_O

3:28 PM

Maybe their browser doesn't allow cross-site scripting?

@DamkerngT. there's no such thing to begin with in SE.

They're using plain AJAX, if anything.

@ShadowWizard Got it! Thanks for the comment over there!

No problem! :)

@DamkerngT. I left another comment with a link to what is supported/needs to work

3:33 PM

@rene Thanks!

Oh, that's a very good meta post!

Yeah, it might a bit technical though

@bluefeet hey, I got a pending flag on this question for two weeks now... any chance to put an end to its misery? Even decline, not that important for me. :)

She tramples on you, will that do?

@rene she's too light for trample, so I'm not worried.

@ShadowWizard well there isn't a shrug reason to get rid of a flag and investigating it isn't a huge priority at this moment so it will probably just sit until someone has time to review it again :P

Oh and I'll hurt you if I trample you!

@bluefeet holding breath for another 6-8 weeks

I think I made a mistake here, my last hours have started:

I will be deleted at 03:00 UTC when the clean-up script runs — rene 10 mins ago

@ShadowWizard good idea

3:45 PM

@rene lol!!

regarding 6-8 weeks what is with the swag? I got a mail at 2015-09-18; the swag was send out end of October let's say second November that means that the transport takes more then 10 weeks I am confused^^

@rekire create account on Code Review, reach top 72 users, and maybe you'll get swag next year.

or go for a site that is nearly out of beta

like PPCG

I would say I am not impatient, but this long time is confusing me

@rekire you can do what I usually do: expect the worst, and be surprised if anything better happens. :)

3:56 PM

it's better to always be pleasantly surprised than always disappointed

I do :) I just remember that everytime when I read this 6-8 weeks joke

When I was told I won a T-shirt I really didn't expect it to arrive. And was really surprised when it did. Profit. :)

@rekire huh, I see. 6-8 is quite popular on MSE and over here....

bye guys I have to go

wait, @rekire are you talking about this swag?

A: Where's my swag?

We just, as in last week, got the last round of corrections and stragglers that contributed but hadn't filled out their details so we could compile everything and send it off to our warehouse to be shipped. Normally, we simply send off orders one-by-one as they come in, but due to the number of p...

yep

4:00 PM

It says ~2 weeks and edited in December 31 so it means it should arrive in ~8 days.

wow I missed that update

I will inform you^^

Cheers!

[ SmokeDetector ] Offensive answer detected: What does it mean when a party has a mandate? by Rusty Shackleford on politics.stackexchange.com

@Pops Thank you very much for WinterBash 2015, it was an absolutely fantastic event and surely would've been anywhere near so without your ~~insomniac traits~~ dedication.

4:08 PM

@Jas @Inf Pin plz ^

(can you not use a countdown that is very slow to count with requestAnimationFrame next time though please - caveat of canvas is that it won't work when you tab out)

@balpha for future reference^

He had the WB page, IIRC

either that, or make sure to check the time between requestAnimationFrame so the timer actually continues (using interpolation) when the page is tabbed back in

@SmokeDetector wtf

definitely spam

uh dude that's a bot

@Quill ye, which is why I flagged as spam

@Quill Thank you! Congrats again. Your tub will live on forever....

@Pops why the first pic doesn't say who is the user? Is this on purpose?

The rest also include the name...

No reason. And not all of the others have names, if you read the entire post. That screenshot came directly from him, right here, at the beginning of the event. Most (but not all) of the other ones were taken by me.

Also I did get your mail, it's starred for a reply, just didn't look like something that was "immediate on fire" priority.

Today's xkcd comic (Judgment Day):

It took a lot of booster rockets, but luckily Amazon had recently built thousands of them to bring Amazon Prime same-day delivery to the Moon colony.

smokey is still not detecting Krojam ?

What's Krojam?

take a look here: krojamcleaner.com

they used it now with krojam cleaner

@rene That's sad to hear. Do we need to rise up against Roomba?

Hey @ProgramFOX does Smokey store statistics, like true and false counts?

@Quill metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com

@bummi Hmm, so "Krojan" as bad keyword?

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. If you feel it is worth keeping me ....

@ProgramFOX Bad site and bad keyword.

I think so, you took a look on this site :/

@rene If I don't?

@ProgramFOX what is black magic in *?

5:08 PM

But I have to. Flowers make life more beautiful.

@Quill Black magic spam.

There was a big wave of that a while ago.

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. use the contact link then to prevent my deletion ...

@ProgramFOX Does moon affect spam waves? O_o

@rene We need Shog instead.

@ProgramFOX So the green ones are tpu or fpu?

green = tp

O_O

Black magic in username is more effective than that.

The business I'm interested has been owner/operated from the same man for 21 years and he just wants to retire. The business isn't dying or anything, he's just ready to pass the torch. He wants 100k for the building (which is valued at 131k) and 100k for the business and all its inventory. Most b...
