Tavern on the Meta

o_O

Feels like I was on TV

huh?

The bookmark @Gemtastic

They're discussing doorknob's question on parenting

Also Google.

And advertising.

And... stuff in general. :P

10:08 PM

And Parenting.SE

It's like participating in a podcast.

That question though made me a little worried for doorknob though

The ones where people pull out their phone and pour nonsense.

@Unihedro Isn't that what I always do?

;P

@Unihedro We should actually do that some time, sounds fun.

10:11 PM

inb4 MSETavern youtube channel

@Unihedro Or soundcloud

I vote for this one: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/89/conversation/…

O_O

@bjb568 Soundcloud free accounts aren't unlimited in hours.

@Unihedro Whatever, it isn't hard to host audio.

Eg apache.

10:14 PM

inb4 rants.devdoodle.net

Nah, we would call that meta.

@Unihedro that would be fun. I could draw the art

Anyway, how would we record a podcast?

ventrilo or mumble?

Or... skype?

orrr

Code a conference on html5

10:17 PM

we let microsoft sam read it

you're a programmer right

Me?

You.

Well... I don't know what you mean by "a conference" nor how that'd solve the recording issue

Yes.

10:25 PM

@Unihedro Goodnight, and have a wonderful evening.

@Behaviour lol

@Unihedro The SE podcasts are actually really funny.

@hichris123 Night hichris

@Behaviour chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/89/conversation/… is one of the best

@bjb568 ... I'm in the same timezone as you! :P

@hichris123 Why did you say night then?

eats yummy sandwich with bird

!!/hats?

SmokeDetector

@Shokhet HATS ARE AWESOME. Winter Bash will end in 0 days, 1 hour, 32 minutes and 14 seconds. :(

10:28 PM

@bjb568 Isn't that a customary ending of a TV show? And/or if you want to go the presidential way...

Waaaiitaminnut... @Uni, it's like 4 or 5 am. Are you still up?

@Gemtastic Who are you talking to?

@hichris123 s/god/FSM

@hichris123 The not youngest teen in here

@Gemtastic Yes because you just pinged me. So I woke up.

10:29 PM

…

Turn sound off.

@Unihedro yes you fell asleep in 9 min :O

@Gemtastic It's possible.

@bjb568 Did just now. Also it's actually 6.29, school in two.

@Unihedro SLEEP!

2

@bjb568 yeah, but given the time uni mentioned... he could just as well be up early

10:32 PM

@Gemtastic Still better to sleep than not in most cases.

!!/turnoffuni'scomputer

Maybe the ping-filtrating app for uni should be my android project...

@bjb568 Did I say otherwise? :)

@Gemtastic idk

@bjb568 I know Uni from the Java chat, I nag him to go to bed a lot :P

is hard to type when hand covered in juicy bird

10:34 PM

@Gemtastic Develop a bot to turn off his computer.

Yay stars!

Poll: are you satisfied with your performance last semester?

No, but I don't really care.

GOTO BED

I'm confused

what is "sleep"

@hichris123 I'd probably be in more luck becoming a moderator on all SE sites and block uni when he needs to sleep rather that get him to use that bot :P

10:36 PM

@Gemtastic I'D VOTE FOR YOU

SLEEP BAN!

Whoops, caps wtill on.\

Or Timeout

ughm

/;

@bjb568 Still on? were you shouting at someone else in another chat? ;P

10:36 PM

Washed hands, can type now.

I should make tea

asdfghjkl

@Gemtastic "goto bed"

@Unihedro Sigh, fine, no bed for you!

You shall not sleep!

But...

hopes the reverse sociology will work

10:38 PM

@bjb568 Goto is a protected word in Java, maybe that's why uni has such a problem to goto bed ;P

{$usegoto on}

@hichris123 XD

No stay off that button what are you doing aaaaaahhhhhh nooooooo

@Unihedro HATS ARE AWESOME. Winter Bash will end in 0 days, 1 hour, 16 minutes and 38 seconds. :(

All of you mods are corrupt.

@SmokeDetector Oh, dear.

@SmokeDetector Noooo... I only need Red Baron :P

Oh, I better get a screenshot of me wearing a pirate hat.

@Doorknob冰 I'm trying to get that one also. Want to vote on some of my answers? :P

in In Praise of Moderators, Dec 31 '14 at 23:45, by bjb568

Suspender still shows bad attitude.

@Doorknob冰 is this sarcasm? *This room has nothing whatsoever to do with criticizing moderators behind their backs. We don't mock stupid things "the community" does either. *

10:45 PM

@Gemtastic ... no, really?

Better test out all my hats now!

@Doorknob冰 more like, I looked at that link and it looks like a lot of bad stuff about people are being said

@Gemtastic always friday in iceland

Just had to check if the description is accurate or not

Q: Always Friday in Iceland?

Possible Duplicate: The Many Memes of Meta Just because I can't find where this has been asked before, could someone explain the always-friday-in-iceland meme?

10:47 PM

Anyone made a userscript to keep hats after Winterbash?

MEh

There we go. :P

You like my nose? That's a yes?

...!

10:49 PM

@Gemtastic Yeah, we should probably get @Shog9 or someone to nuke the last few ones, which were... actually quite abusive.

@bjb568 You should... probably delete those. They're kind of insulting.

@Doorknob冰 It's too late anyhoo, but I served my 30m suspension.

WHICH WAS TOTALLY UNJUST, BTW

:P

Hm… unjust not injust.

Hi shog.

I think bjb should have to flag each message he doesn't want haunting him for moderator attention before someone flags them the other way at arbitrary times...

I mean, unless he wants Doorknob to have the ability to suspend him without warning.

…

Hater's gonna hate, moderators gonna moderate :D

You're expanding the permissions, shog?

10:51 PM

bjb568 v.s. to-be-chat mod GO!!

@Unihedro Is this epic rap battles?

I'm not saying I'd necessarily validate "offensive" flags on any of those messages... But, I'm not saying I wouldn't either.

@Shog9 Sounds to me like you're not saying much.

You still haven't handled my flag.

@Doorknob冰 Thanks for the reminder.....

@Shog9 Well, message not deleted and no declined banner…

(link to question)

Ugh, non-inverted colors.

No likey the color scheme.

What's with it with the slacking designers?

10:57 PM

It's been years sense responsive was established as good and nothing. Site designs are… meh.

No one looks at the list of sites in the footer, anywhere.

@Shokhet Yes.

if you make it that far without becoming enraged by the arguments above, clearly someone has failed.

11:00 PM

I just got 56 Charmeleon hats.

user259867

In recent weeks, there is not much to become enraged by. Meta users are slacking off.

^^^ tags on:hover

Should it be 2015 or a range?

Does it matter?

A: Is it important to show the current year alongside my (c) Copyright symbol?

@Behaviour I blame bjb for this too. He's clearly been spending too much time offering services in exchange for hats to focus on his strengths.

11

The date is supposed to be when it was published. So if content is ongoing then it could be a range or it could be the date of the most recent revision. If the site has had no changes then it should be the earliest date. Some people prefer it to be recent to look fresh, others prefer to make it...

I love this Google thing. Hope no one else discovers it.

@Shog9 Uh… blame Jon Ericson for suspending me without giving an actual reason. More details in the email which should actually not be ignored.

11:07 PM

selfish shog

On a completely unrelated note, y'know what always gets me? The folks who have serious concerns about their suspensions and then waste their one reply on some knee-jerk response.

Read the email instead.

It's still flamey of course.

It's my weekend. I'll read flaming user emails during work hours like everyone else.

Do people actually read those?

Awesome!

I don't read mine. But that's not my problem. IMAP doesn't work.

We get a lot of emails. And read many of them. Even reply to a few.

11:10 PM

On a completely unrelated note, why does "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same ? Weird to have it that way.

Q: Why are not "infamous" and "inflammable" the opposite of "famous" and "flammable"?

!find flammable vs inflammable

There's Your Mom's Poetry: Flammable VS Inflammable VS ...

Why are not infamous and inflammable the opposite of famous and flammable, like incomplete, inactivity, inappropriate and so on?

Ugh, why is there a limited "vote allowance"?

I don't understand this.

Because when there wasn't, someone got "clever"

Oh, Latin.

A: Why are not "infamous" and "inflammable" the opposite of "famous" and "flammable"?

27

(Just to be contrarian.) The word infamous is the opposite of famous! Just as the opposite of reputed is disreputed rather than obscure, and the opposite of hot is cold rather than not hot, the opposite of famous (having "good" fame) is infamous (having "bad" fame, having infamy, ill-famed). Th...

Electorate badge in one day @Shog9?

heh, no, much more interesting

@bjb568 It makes as little sense as when Jon Ericson said we should only offer encouragement to those attempting to get hats because hats are a fun positive thing…

And of course abuse isn't possible.

And of course LRiO only needs more encouragement.

11:15 PM

Yep.

And of course I was in the wrong for leaving a harmless comment which might offended or even dissuade LRiO.

Y'know what they say about people who talk to themselves and aren't me.

:O

@Shog9 no, what?

:[=]

Hm… that looks weird.

What's homeroom?

11:29 PM

IDK

user259867

Homeroom

Homeroom or advisory is the classroom session in which a teacher records attendance and makes announcements. It can also be called Registration or Planning Period. The concept is used in schools around the world. == Afghanistan == In Afghanistan home room concept ( نگران) is widely used in the schools. The home room teacher is responsible for almost everything concerning his class. At the start of the school year, it's the homeroom teacher's responsibility to make sure that everyone of his or her students get school stuff (like book, notebooks) that are provided by government. At they very start...

There's that Google thing at work again...

We only went to homeroom the first day tho.

Attendance is every period, announcements interrupt second

user259867

@anorton Did you have such a thing?

@Shog9 ... I swear that's self-plagiarized from something you wrote...
