have you ever noticed how inconsistent the SE hamburger thing is?

@ItamarG3 it's a total mess, but soon it will be consistent when new top bar will be network wide. :)

It's a major move of cheese, but think the reasoning is fine.

no but it's even worse:

@Sklivvz because that menu is not really important. The actual menu is the tabs section: Questions, Tags, Users, etc, and they didn't touch this part. The menu which switched places is just for switching sites, and used only by very few users, who want to explore the rest of the network. Personally I'm of course one of those and find it irritating they moved my cheese, but I also get the reason and tend to agree with it. — Sha Wiz Dow Ard 2 days ago

so cheesy

they seem to be laughtose intolerant.

@ItamarG3 where are 1 and 2? Anyway MSE is special case as the site logo is the network logo.

And SE hamburger is the SE logo. lol

the 3 and 4 are the number of lines in the icon

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/301454/…

what exactly happened in that post?

I can't see it as I'm not 10k... but...

Journeyman said it needs killing, so I wonder what it contained.

@ItamarG3 ohhhh... lol didn't notice

@ItamarG3 spam

the one with 4 is a hamburger with 2 patties.

oh my

Nice, for a spam. lol

lol

I've never seen such a real spam

@ItamarG3 how come? You didn't have לוף in the army?

That's real spam.

/cc @Alon ;)

XD

Just so you know, I'm 17 yo... So... no, I didn't have... XD

But I'm not the youngest in SE. Mith is younger, and there's a mod somewhere who's, like, 14 or something.

@ItamarG3 oh.... for some reason was sure you're in univercity so in your 20's. Oh well... you'll see real spam if you'll be קרבי. :D

@ItamarG3 yeah @BoltClock, but he's older now, think 15

We have @ProgramFOX here who is younger than you

And @Uni is the youngest, 14 or so by now.

6:37 AM

Bolt? I think Mith told me of another guy.

@LunarWatcher is also 16

@rene is more than 16

oh my. I had no idea.

I always thought that teens were scarce in SE.

Q: Evaluating the risks of allowing teen moderators on the SE network

I have a David vs Goliath case here involving a teen moderator on Stack Overflow. His display name is BoltClock. I'm a low reputation SO user (less than 150 points) who was recently suspended for Voting Irregularities by BoltClock. Eventually the mistake was corrected by another non-teen moderat...

lol

I'll read that now.

We have teens for breakfast, that makes them scarce ...

6:40 AM

@rene but they're not ripe enough yet, it's like eating green bananas. eww.

:D

When hungry, green doesn't matter

Green?

@ShaWizDowArd He's 25.

@ItamarG3 oh, you're right @Bolt is indeed not the younger, probably @Myth was referring to Doorknob (Think he became a mod at 13 or 14)

I decided to undelete this, not so much because the answers are useful as for the sake of my own entertainment. Also, I turned 21 last month, so it's like a belated birthday present to myself or something. — BoltClock's a Unicorn Feb 5 '13 at 16:44

I wanted to be a mod. at CSE

@ItamarG3 no worry, keep trying :)

6:45 AM

yeah, if one of the pro-tem mods steps down...

@ItamarG3 there will be elections at some point, so just be active and make yourself valuable on the site.

yeah, in years.

Nah, think these days they start doing elections even in beta sites.

@ShaWizDowArd btw, IPS is doing absurdly well, isn't it?

IMO they will get rid of "beta" in few years.

6:46 AM

like, the only beta I've ever seen with so much traffic.

@ShaWizDowArd probably.

@ItamarG3 not really, many sites start this way, I remember Life Hacks in exactly the same position.

They start with a great buzz, then slowly fade to become "normal".

When all the "easy" questions are already asked.

@ItamarG3 not you

CSE never reached that point

green banana:

XD

someone just asked me "who is StackExchange". dafuq

@ItamarG3 lol... haaaaaa.... just realized something...... "de-fak" in English slang is the same as דפוק in Hebrew slang!!!!!!!!!!

6:51 AM

XD

never noticed that

Not 100% same but still.... what a coincidence.... lol

Same "D" and "K" sound.... lol

@ItamarG3 So who asked you that??

just some person.

In real life you mean?

yes

I never use the name Stack Exchange in real life, just Stack Overflow.

6:56 AM

He know SO

but not SE

sigh

oh lol

It's hard to explain to someone totally unaware of SE

"SE is network of sites like SO, but the other sites are small and most are not programming related"

How you called SE in Hebrew?

just

arrg My swag arrived a few days ago and it's sooooo coooool

hehe Google fails to translate it properly

6:59 AM

(mind you, I asked for a mug and got a sharpie and 5 stickers but that's ok)

so sad.

@ItamarG3 what is sharpie? I have T-shirt and a mug. :)

The mug is huge!

whaaat

a sharpie is a טוש

It's too big for coffee so I put shekels in it

7:00 AM

@ItamarG3 oh lol never heard that word

@ShaWizDowArd Huh?

How you got swag? @Itamar

won a topic challenge over at CSE

@LunarWatcher @Itamar said he's 17 so I just mentioned other teenagers here. :)

@ItamarG3 nice!

7:02 AM

@ItamarG3 That is the case. It's surprising how many actually ends up together though

@ShaWizDowArd rahul is 16 too

I got the T-shirt for helping fixing a major bug, and the mug for writing a story.

@LunarWatcher right! How I forgot @rahul ;)

@ShaWizDowArd which bug?

wow that's a much better way to earn swag.

Even though I'm disappointed you never edited to actually count down by 1s instead of 10s, I'm willing to send you something else if you have any ideas of something you'd want. Or I could send you something very random.

Counties of Norway

Norway is divided into 19 administrative regions, called counties (singular Norwegian: fylke, plural Norwegian: fylker (Bokmål) / fylke (Nynorsk) from Old Norse: fylki from the word "folk"); until 1918, they were known as amter. The counties form the first-level subdivisions of Norway and are further divided into 428 municipalities (kommune, pl. kommuner / kommunar). Svalbard and Jan Mayen are outside the county division and ruled directly on national level. The capital Oslo is considered both a county and a municipality. In 2017 the government decided to abolish the current counties and to replace...

hmm.... @rene the cat pictures cause https warning as they're on http now, e.g. 25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm4gglp04y1qdvbl3o1_1280.jpg

I checked and they work in https too e.g. 25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm4gglp04y1qdvbl3o1_1280.jpg so maybe change the code to force https, even in their API is returning http only?

That said, maybe better have the chat itself handle this in the onebox, e.g. check if https version exists, if so force https, otherwise don't onebox the picture.

@ShaWizDowArd So... we had an argument, a painful near-break up, but then we decided to start over

Keeping it semi-platonic for the moment, which is honestly awesome

I'm actually happier than I've been in months

I cycled some 30 km today
Went to visit a friend who lives faaaaar away

I don't think I've ever cycled this far before
And mum didn't know lol
It was fun
But I'd probably get grounded for a year or two if she ever finds out

lol you naughty boy!!

And my birthday was in April ;P

@ShaWizDowArd Ok.

@ProgramFOX hehe, it's Hebrew words written in English letters.... and it means Good Luck. "mazal" is written as מזל and means luck, and "tov" is written as טוב and means good. :)

We say that in birthdays though. :D

aha, I see
