@John Clicking the "MS" link tells you why, with better UI.

If they say "why, why", tell 'em that is human nature... It's 35 years since Thriller release.

No meta post? Many mods do it. A recent example: So long, and thanks for all the herring! by Emrakul on puzzling.meta.stackexchange.com

Quitting the site implies quitting the mod role, anyway.

But it's true, mods who also leave the site aren't likely to publish a statement.

quitters never post, posters never quit ... those who posting quitting will always come back - rules of internet by Telkitty™

you know what can turn cold things into right temperature for you to warm up in freezing winter? your pet ...

you can do that too, but you will might get fat

so the right thing to do is to feed your pet, then hug them for extra warmth

obviously, if you want to hug your pet, you get a huggable pet :D

@JourneymanGeek do you minimum 3 months (if they pay you as per. contract), find a colleague who can act as your referee, start searching for another job after working there for 3 months

probation usually are 3 months or 6 months

unless casual, there usually is a probation period, at least here ...

Interestingly, in the past few years, I had a few ex-colleagues/boss wondering whether I would like to work for them. lol. I take that as a compliment.

On the other hand, I should feel slightly insulted - how do you know my company will never grow big and one day you could be working for me? Maybe not the current one, maybe not even in this industry. But who the heck knows.

yeah right :p

@NickAlexeev https helps. SE used to exclude links within the network but now they can't.

@Feeds I can't decide if I should read the Thrawn trilogy or not. I'd like to stay within the new canon, but Thrawn is a new canon character... and a cool one... it's just that the stories are Legends. :/

yeah, we all trust gerry here, it's the fastest way to lose your last pair of pants in a illegal casino

of course if you are in the northern hemisphere or wear skirt, you should be just fine ...

If Zahn followed the example of Lucas and remade the stories in a canon-compatible way... :/ but the stupid Aftermath trilogy left no room for that.

Christianity graduated 4 years ago today. Their most viewed post-graduation question: Which is the "correct" bible for Catholics?

And #2 is What is the difference between the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches?

Nobody mentioned the Julian calendar thing, which is perhaps less spiritual but more outward noticeable than most other differences.

I hear airport interviews are pretty common, but presumably they get a room for that.

It's like Midas touch but in the opposite direction.

sigh with 1 hour left in nomination period, GD election has three nominations, one of which is hardly credible. And two get elected, so... Westside wins essentially by default.

We don't see much black magic these days...

Wrzlprmft posted GD mod nomination at 19:59:14... the deadline being 20:00:00. Talk about "11th hour"...

@SmokeDetector Funny.

Meanwhile, WELZ replaced nomination text with "I have withdrawn, due to lack of experience with this site. Here as a filler so the election can start on time. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam at aliquam dui. Cras velit libero."

And Wrzlprmft opens with "I am running for moderator to ensure that there are three candidates." Such pressure all around.

This particular election would be way better with 1 open position.

No one votes? It's a tie, then. I don't know about tie-breaking rules.

This is what I get by running OpenSTV on a ballot file with no votes.

And this is what I get when running a 2-set election with three ballots 123, 231, 312 (perfect 3-way tie):

Candidates doppelgreener, the dark wanderer, and Joshua Aslan Smith were tied when choosing candidates to eliminate. Candidate Joshua Aslan Smith was chosen by breaking the tie randomly. Candidate doppelgreener has reached the threshold and is elected. Candidate the dark wanderer is elected.

Is that exactly the same q that throws q.status undefined?

I never heard of for/of loop in JS, to be honest... Isn't it for/in?

Usually, for (q in qs) would be a way to loop through properties of qs

I would extract that q into global namespace and play with it directly in the console.

@Elephant "ES2015+ only" is the reason why. Most JS I write is for Google Apps Script, which is frozen since forever.

What a weird thing for console.log to do.

I get the need for async execution, but async logging isn't really that helpful.
