Something Bad Happened

Asking what to do with your frozen meat during a power outage is not a 911 call. Smelling weed coming from your neighbour's home isn't either. Cannabis is no longer illegal on October 17, 2018. Consumption is allowed for anyone 19yrs or older. Do not call police for this ^sm

@SomethingBadHappened difficult and confusing times ;)

5:49 AM

@rene Just wait until they legalize XTC and MDMA

Oh, you are in ADE mood?

6:01 AM

I hit my head with HNQ...

@rene Not my kind of music ;) the youngest brother is going to Hardwell tonight though. I just remembered a news article from last week where people were setting out arguments for actually legalizing that stuff :)

@Tinkeringbell hmm, well .. let's first catch up with the rest of the world again before we start talking about the next step.

6:16 AM

the earth is not fiat?

It is Fiat

@rene Sounds like a plan to me ;)

@Somewhat technically, marijuana isn't legal here, it's just .. tolerated :P

And with growing it still being illegal...

There's a kind of problem

You have all these big marijuana growing companies popping up in other countries legalizing marijuana and a knowledge drain over here.

@Tinkeringbell had a look at the videogame category...

Is it expected that 90% of the available items are utterly useless?

Gameboy game box replicas at 20$????

> ZELDA (Game And Watch) (Repro Box) 20$

AND THE BOX IN THE PICTURE ISN'T EVEN ZELDA'S ONE!

10:42 AM

@Derpy Yes. Etsy is for people to sell stuff they made, mostly creative items ;)

@Tinkeringbell ^ sorry, had assumed it was just a way to avoid having to download 6k different roms when modding a Nes Mini....

because obviously if it is on Etsy, the seller must have the license to resell the roms :P

@Bart I'v lost the kassabon

Ask Fred Teeven to find it for you

@rene Don't worry. You can still show up with your 'pintransacties' provided you didn't pay cash (you don't carry that much cash, do you?)

I'm pretty cheap ...

You certainly are incapable of taking a compliment... :P

Thanks

Great way to make people feel unwelcome, compliments :P

Maybe I should have followed my heart and choose Flutter instead.

I mean, the name was clearly a sign that that was the framework to use.

@Derpy "flut"? :P I wouldn't use anything that's flut..

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Non-latin link in answer (87): Programmatically create a Custom Content type on saving a form by user89751 on drupal.SE

@Tinkeringbell Flutter. Not flut.

@Derpy Even worse than flut :P

It is all flut

1:26 PM

flut flutter flutst

what does flut even mean

leaves room

@Magisch If something is flut... it's worthless :P

Translate gives 'trashy'

Translate gives 'flood', 'flooder', 'floodest'

@Somewhat Nah, that's not it. It's trashy, trashier, trashiest

1:31 PM

In my case, nothing, since I said Flutter, not flut - notice the (ter) and the capital F.
If you want the German meaning.... it is flood, high tide, tsunami etc.
.... and Tinkeringbell... don't know which made up slang meaning he and rene had in mind.

huh, weird... maybe Translate is flutted by flut...

but I am pretty sure "flut" is not a real word in English.

@Derpy 'Flut' isn't really slang. It's really used, by people that generally try very hard to exactly avoid slang.

@Derpy That's most likely to be true ;)

Perhaps because here is Kroeg on the Meta...

@Somewhat Meta in de Kroeg sounds like a better idea to me :P

1:34 PM

@Tinkeringbell so, you are telling me that they avoid slang... only to use "made up words" instead? oooook, I suppose

@Derpy flut isn't a made up word. It's in the dictionary

^ yep, like I said, in the Dutch language, maybe :P

@Derpy Okay... I misunderstood then. Sorry.

but as for English :P

It's not a word in English, I agree ;)

So. Where's the people behind Flutter based? :P

@Tinkeringbell Flutter should be made by Google.

@Derpy write an addon to it and call it shy

3:08 PM

anyone with 1.5k rep on SO could add a new tag to this question ?

what tag?

I need a nativescript-codesharing or @nativescript/schematics , whichever sounds better

@nativescript/schematics is the name of the npm package used to support Code sharing,

while Code Sharing is the official name the NativeScript documentation uses for the template

Thanks

job done, you might want to fill the tag excerpt in to explain what it's for

yep,

was just about to do that

3:21 PM

and done, waiting for review.

thanks again for the help, @ArtOfCode

precipitous lack of staff response on the meta thread

going to chalk it up to a busy schedule and hope for more soon

@Magisch That's correct. :)

you and your privileged private information

rants against the TL

@Magisch Hey... that's just my feelings too.

:p

5:29 PM

And yeah, TL is bad :P

(okay, it isn't. It's awesome but I'm not allowed to say that)

its a necessary part of stack, it just feels really awful when stuff actually happens there and I can't know or see

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch you'd be amazed how boring it is ;)

even though it'd interest me

the denizens of TL are just as pissed off with all this as you

@JourneymanGeek I'm a guy interested by statistics and probabilities

You have no idea there is no end to boring things I find interesting

@ArtOfCode really? Have you read my answer to the meta post?

5:31 PM

yup

re-reading it now I'm almost certain I did go for the unhinged rant

@Magisch Well.. there's a mod that gave you an edit, and there's not a single moderator in your comments telling you 'that's not an answer to the question'. So.... subtle signs? :P

Also, the post made 'HNQ' and the votes don't count. XD

tbh I freely admit a lot of that post was carried by some seriously negative emotions

@Magisch That's okay. Mine isn't the most coherent thing I've ever written too, but it was driven by my thoughts at the time ;)

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch I'm in a funny position about this

I really feel that TPTB could be doing things better but... well, its complex

you don't want to squander your social capital by being too negative

^^

Journeyman Geek

naw, I've not had enough sleep

;p

@Magisch Trust us... you didn't ;)

Journeyman Geek

5:35 PM

and some of the core issues are that, well...

I'm pretty sure I wasted any remaining ounce of goodwill I had with the staff by posting that non-answer rant that clouded the discussion so far

Journeyman Geek

things have grown quite fast without folks having much optics for Q&A

Nobody will say this in public of course, that'd be even more PR suicide then what spawned this, but

I'm still convinced that SE want to do things right and are not acting in bad faith. What I'm not convinced of is that they're thinking about what they're doing and how it might affect Stuff.

@Magisch Would you ... stop doubting yourself at every turn? ...

The post you wrote on MSE is more than SE could've hoped for...

Journeyman Geek

5:37 PM

@Magisch tbh, if we are not telling SE when they arn't, well, living up to our expectations, we can't really expect stuff to get better.

and sometimes we've gotta have our hearts on our sleeves for things to move

@Tinkeringbell self confidence is a fickle thing :p

Journeyman Geek

also, 122 people agree with what you said, and how you said it ;)

@Magisch Take your upvotes and enjoy them :P
