The Wal-mart brand was the only brand they sold that had medium-sized bags. :(

Undo

You can fit more stuff in the large ones, so you should buy those.

animuson

They're too big for my trash can though.

Undo

@animuson try a different store. Don't contribute to the walmart monopoly on medium-sized trashbags!

(or you could buy a bigger trashcan)

animuson

I specifically bought a smaller trash can so that it would fit nicely next to my new desk.

Undo

Then you should buy a bigger desk too.

animuson

12:03 AM

Then it wouldn't fit in my room.

Undo

Hmm...

animuson

And don't say I should buy a bigger room.

Undo

Buying a new house so that you can avoid contributing to the wal-mart dictatorship is a bit much

animuson

That's already on the table, actually. Well, not for reasons of avoiding Wal-mart's dictatorship though.

Undo

Add wal-mart to the reasons for buying a new house.

animuson

12:05 AM

I did find out recently, though, that when my parents die I get a lot of money.

Undo

undefined method `>' for false:FalseClass

^ Ruby I hate you

@animuson All hail animuson the to-be-rich-in-hopefully-a-long-time moderator!

animuson

My parents are only 50, I don't know why they're pressuring me so much to make sure I have all this information. -.-

Undo

lol

So that you have all the information, of course!

(like how to avoid buying wal-mart brand stuff)

animuson

This isn't something I want to think about though! I have enough things on my mind lately...

Ooh a meta flag!

animuson

There's always Meta flags, you just don't see most of them. :P

Undo

Grrr

bad animuson, lording that diamond over me :P

GnomeSlice

^ This is so good.

Undo

@animuson Soon you won't be able to see meta flags either :P

animuson

Meta SE flags*

Undo

12:10 AM

Well yeah

animuson

But anyways, when my parents are gone, I will be an instant millionaire. :3 Yay for not having to work for money.

Undo

Not if they take up gambling in their later years :P

GnomeSlice

@animuson But not yay for your parents dying.

animuson

Well, a huge portion of it is in life insurance policies - so they can't exactly spend that.

I have no idea why they have such massive life insurance policies... Or where the hell they got them.

Undo

They could gamble enough that they can't pay the life insurance policies :P

@animuson That is a ginourmous policy...

animuson

12:14 AM

My first reaction when he showed me that printout was "why the f***........"

But I guess it makes more sense when you consider that I used to have a brother... I was only supposed to get half of it.

Undo

true

animuson

Then I could buy things on everyone's Amazon wish lists! >:D

I'm sure my parents would love me spending the money that way.

Undo

@animuson You could buy @jadarnel27 (was it him?) that watch he always wanted!

jadarnel27

You most certainly couldn't buy jadarnel27.

Oh.

I read that wrong.

jadarnel: making assumptions on sentences since... (insert assumption here)

animuson

He's clearly too distracted by his wife and whatever that food was she made him. We're losing him! We need to get him back!!!

Double the brown!

Pops

Great, now you've reminded me that I need to obtain a dinner.

We should send him a coupon to that restaurant name the Tavern.

This doesn't seem to be an answer worth keeping around:

A: PHP Get user input without user having to press return key

Those seem to be the only two options which are both extremely complex to get working especially on windows :/ Death and destruction :( If it's for a petty thing, save yourself the trouble and forget it. Thank you both for guiding me to my options.

animuson

Lol someone flagged that as other with the comment "other" xD

hichris123

@animuson Heh. Maybe I should have flagged it as NAA so I got a helpful flag... :P

animuson

Holy crap. Amazon handled my flag within 15 minutes? o.o

hichris123

What flag?

animuson

I flagged a product review for not being a product review.

hichris123

1:44 AM

You're not an Amazon moderator? What kind of moderator are you? :P

animuson

I think Amazon's moderators actually get paid though. ;P

hichris123

Is that your feature-request for you to get paid for being a mod?

You really know it's an audit when there's unformatted code and the edit summary says added type declarations. This is the audit.

Someone please give a final close vote. :D stackoverflow.com/questions/21093334/…

hichris123

@animuson I feel like you've been trained to be a good mod. You actually go through the flag queue, and close questions. :P

hichris123

Heh, got my flag in on it before it gets destroyed.

Laszlo Papp

interesting flagging reason.

animuson

Don't worry, I eventually delete things after I stop laughing.

Laszlo Papp

2:44 AM

why did the flagger think it is a non-spam link-only answer?

hichris123

Ooh, not an answer – hichris1232 mins ago helpful .

@LaszloPapp Did someone comment that or something?

Laszlo Papp

@hichris123: I am 335 reputation away to discover such things. :D

but it was marked as link-only answer (not spam).

"While this may answer the question, it is better to include essential part..."

hichris123

@LaszloPapp Where? In the Low Quality Posts?

Heh.

Laszlo Papp

(writing from memory)

hichris123

I don't see any link... :P

Laszlo Papp

2:46 AM

no, the post animuson linked.

hichris123

@LaszloPapp I know. Weird.

Maybe if you google i reccomend eating alot of paper until u implode you get some magical link... :P

animuson

@LaszloPapp That's an automated comment from the Low Quality Posts review queue. There isn't actually a "this is spam" comment that you can select.

Laszlo Papp

even though, it is an invalid flag, it gets the attention closer at least.

animuson, I would use no comment needed.

hichris123

Darn.

Kielbasa

Kiełbasa, kołbasa, klobasa, kobasa, kolbasi, kovbasa, kobasi, and kubasa are common North American anglicizations for a type of Central and Eastern European sausage. Synonyms include Polish sausage and Ukrainian sausage. In English, these words refer to a particular genre of sausage, common to all Central and Eastern European countries but with substantial regional variations. In the Slavic languages, these are the generic words for all types of sausage, local or foreign. Etymology and usage The terms entered English simultaneously from different sources, which accounts for the different...

It's a kind of sausage =)

animuson

Oh, my grandparents make Polish sausage all the time.

jadarnel27

And it is rather tasty. If you like that sort of thing.

hichris123

@animuson I figured out how to get more helpful flags; flag all posts you recommend deletion for.

animuson

Ok I'm leaving for a bit. Have fun.

jadarnel27

3:14 AM

Peace out, yo.

hichris123

Mods sleep?

Or do they just "rest"?

animuson

No, I'm headed to Lincoln.

jadarnel27

@animuson I've been to the college there.

hichris123

¿Por que?

(Sorry for the Spanish, couldn't resist) :P

jadarnel27

Or no. I went to a different middle of nowhere college. I just talked to the people at The University of Nebraska at Lincoln a lot. Never mind, @animuson.

Tech support.

hichris123

3:17 AM

Oh, did anyone see Google bought Nest for $3.2 million?

jadarnel27

That was when I updated this old, classic-asp web app to connect to a SQL Server database (before that it was connected to an MS Access DB on a shared drive...).

hichris123

@jadarnel27 You actually dealt with that pain called MS SQL Server? Ouch.

jadarnel27

@hichris123 Haha, that statement makes me think you've never used MS Access.

hichris123

You're right, I have not.

Is it actually really bad?

jadarnel27

Well...yeah. It is useful for some things.

But definitely not as the backend for a web app.

hichris123

3:23 AM

Like what?

Can you type random stuff in it and it makes a unicorn? :P

jadarnel27

Or for any large scale data. Once you get beyond a few thousand rows, it starts to slow down quite a bit.

Or maybe it's more like a few 10's of thousands of rows.

Anyway, nothing like what SQL Server or MySQL can handle.

hichris123

Me prefers MySQL.

jadarnel27

@hichris123 It has this forms designer thing that allowed people to make very simple internal apps very quickly. They would throw it on a shared drive, and people could do data entry.

You could write VB Script / VBA event handlers for the operations performed on the forms.

@hichris123 I've recently had to start using it for this WordPress thing. It's growing on me, but I still prefer SQL Server.

That web-based admin console is annoying.

hichris123

PHPMyAdmin?

jadarnel27

Yeah. That.

hichris123

3:28 AM

Just execute queries onto the database. It's so much better. :P

I get so confused by the admin thingy.

Laszlo Papp

hmm, I may have misremembered.... I thought there would be a badge for the first awarded bounty when you answer such questions.

hichris123

@LaszloPapp I don't think so... I thought it was just for awarding/starting one. Maybe I'm misremembering too....

Laszlo Papp

Nah, you seem to be right. I have not even noticed I answered a bounty question to be honest. :D I still wonder why such a simple question got a bounty. The answer is pretty much a trivial one-liner. :D

hichris123

Heh. What one?

jadarnel27

This is meta-land @michael, we don't discuss practical matters such as SO being useful here.

jadarnel27

Complaints! \o/

jmac

6:37 AM

I would like to complain about the poor service in this tavern. Over 30 minutes in, and nobody has offered to take my drink order.

I would also like to complain about users who believe that "community moderation" is equivalent to "making things the way I want them"

jadarnel27

Aw, there used to be a whole awesome room for complaining.

Pops has unfrozen this room.

jadarnel27

@Pops You're my hero.

Pops

I know.

jmac

Please rename to Whining/Whinging room. Give it that international flavor that complaints deserve.

Pops

I believe it was named by a Canadian, and therefore already qualifies as internationalized.

jmac

What, they gave Canadians their own country now?! What's next? New Zealand?

Jan Dvorak

7:26 AM

@jmac already happened :-/

jmac

Reminds me of a song by Tom Lehrer called "Who's Next?" about nuclear proliferation. Specifically, "Luxembourg is next to go, and who knows maybe Monaco, we'll try to stay serene and calm, when Alabama gets the Bomb, who's next?"
