done all [CV]

user13500

Once I got what the "Review audit" was all about I like it. It is a good way to keep people on their tows =)

rene

Hehehe we're getting close to the virtual bottom

TGMCians

@rene done today work

user13500

Have noticed the Close Votes queue and it looks like you people are doing an awesome job. Wish I could be part of it :)

@TGMCians nice, tnx

@Doorknob: I followed your run for mod. Hope you keep going strong and apply in the future as well.

Jan Dvorak

@ManishBot what a terrible title

Doorknob

@user13500 Thank you ;)

jadarnel27

@Doorknob Same sentiment here. When I commented earlier that I thought your nomination was a joke, I was thinking you were someone else (that briefly went by "Doorhandle" in here, and was annoying as crap).

Same OP new question

This time I put an edit in their queue

Jan Dvorak

@rene accepted 2/2

and yet downvoted into oblivion

Braiam

@rene do not add tag likes titles :/

rene

Someday I will be a high rep user on math.se

homework is a tag?

Jan Dvorak

6:45 PM

yep

allowed on math.se

the site that approves of having questions in french

rene

Initially I wanted to delete that all together

Jan Dvorak

@rene too radical, even if probably correct

rene

The other question got answers rather quickly...

Jan Dvorak

weird folk IMO

rene

indeed

TGMCians

6:49 PM

this seems to me weird stackoverflow.com/a/7491448/1741671

Jan Dvorak

they seem to like "gimme teh links" questions

rene

@TGMCians just downvote?

TGMCians

Well, I have also

Doorknob

@jadarnel27 Thanks also! :) That user is actually a friend IRL who enjoys copying everything I do... :/

jadarnel27

@Doorknob Ah, I see!

Well...he does not do it very effectively.

Because you are easy to get along with.

Doorknob

6:56 PM

heh :P

The Wobbuffet

Hello, it is me, Doorhandle

Doorknob

you summoned him! :O

The Wobbuffet

I personally don't think crap is annoying

I mean, it doesn't annoy you... it's quite quiet.

Not a very effective simile if you ask me.

@Doorknob Actually, I just wanted to have more power than you, not necessarily copying you by nominating.

Idiom

An idiom (, "special property", f. , "special feature, special phrasing", f. , "one’s own") is a combination of words that has a figurative meaning owing to its common usage. An idiom's figurative meaning is separate from the literal meaning. There are thousands of idioms and they occur frequently in all languages. There are estimated to be at least twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in the English language. Examples The following sentences contain idioms. The fixed words constituting the idiom in each case are bolded: ::a. She is pulling my leg. - to pull someone's leg means...

The Wobbuffet

I know :P

jadarnel27

7:06 PM

If you are joking (and based on your track record, I would think yes), that is a really insensitive thing to joke about.

There are people that spend a lot of time in this room that have dealt with suicide among their immediate friends and family.

And if you are not joking, that's a really serious matter. And you should seek help from a professional immediately if you feel that way.

The Wobbuffet

Yes, okay, no

Shog's been updating his answer there.

@jadarnel27 I wish I could do that.

But the kids are hogging the TV.

The 3 y/o is currently into fighting dinosaurs. In whatever language youtube happens to serve them.

jadarnel27

That's a little funny, @Oded. Considering you can't watch a kids show because your kids are watching TV.

TGMCians

jadarnel27

@Oded Not brown at all. Fighting dinosaurs sounds pretty exciting, though =)

Doorknob

...someone flagged that?

TGMCians

my message ?

Doorknob

yes, the link to the user profile

no idea why

GnomeSlice

@Doorknob User thumbnail probably.

jadarnel27

7:27 PM

That's weird.

Bart

Wasn't me, I swear

Doorknob

yeah, but that's not "spam or offensive"

GnomeSlice

I've been banned for less revealing pictures than that.

Doorknob

(maybe under a very liberal interpretation, but...)

GnomeSlice

So I guess somebody disagrees

Doorknob

7:28 PM

I disagreed

GnomeSlice

Let's test it

in The Bridge on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 5 secs ago, by GnomeSlice

Doorknob

test what?

Bart

If that profile pic is problematic now, then I know of a man-in-bra post that should get some renewed attention.

Doorknob

oh, lol

@Bart don't remind us... :/

GnomeSlice

Huh, no flags.

Must be a weekend

jadarnel27

7:31 PM

I don't your test was really equivalent.

GnomeSlice

@jadarnel27 Probably not. I've been banned for less than that in the same room.

Doorknob

sublime, your CTRL+Shift+V is amazing :D

jadarnel27

@GnomeSlice Well, you posted a much larger image in The Bridge. It was just a thumbnail here, in a user profile link. So if you got flagged over there, that still wouldn't be conclusive =)

GnomeSlice

@jadarnel27 I've been flagged for less, as a thumbnail, but I guess you're right.

It's not a contest!

jadarnel27

I don't know how my brother and his wife get themselves into these computer shenanigans.

GnomeSlice

7:40 PM

@TGMCians Nice ass.

The Wobbuffet

Back

Doorknob

Highcharts is pretty nice. I just started using it

jadarnel27

First, they pushed the "reset" button on their router, and I had to come over and reconfigure it. Then, they did it again. So I came over, reconfigured, and put tape over the reset button.

GnomeSlice

@Doorknob Is that for like, tracking your drug usage?

Doorknob

@GnomeSlice Lol, I'm making something with the SE API

jadarnel27

7:43 PM

Now I get a text from my brother saying that his wife flipped "a switch on the back of the computer", and it turned it off.

Doorknob

@jadarnel27 facedesk

GnomeSlice

@jadarnel27 lol

jadarnel27

Haha, indeed =)

Bart

@jadarnel27 ... so flip it the other way?

jadarnel27

@Bart He did that haha. But he was asking what it was, and if it was a problem.

Bart

7:45 PM

Just inform them to call the authorities to stand down because all is under control now.

Don't want a SWAT team barging in just because you "flipped the switch"

Q: How can I get a day-by-day history of a certain user's reputation?

I'm currently working on a small project with SE data, and I can't find an API method for this, so I'm asking here. Is there any way to get a history of a certain user's reputation each day? I know this is possible because I can see the raw data by viewing the source of http://stackexchange.com...

support reputation

Bart

He was more concerned that flipping that switch (the PSU on/off switch) might have damaged his computer in some way =P

@TGMCians I never voted to close as a dupe; I actually VTC as unclear/doesn't provide enough information... but it goes with the majority sigh... :(

This question is not a duplicate. However, as we really don't have enough information to help you with your problem, I would vote to close it as unclear what you are asking. — hichris123 6 secs ago

^ @rene @TGMCians better?

jadarnel27

What other information would you have the OP add, @hichris123? The question is brief, but I don't think it needs to be closed. And the OP has responded to comments for additional information.

rene

8:57 PM

We voted to close as a dup of a better target duplicate

hichris123

@jadarnel27 Mm.. honestly, not sure. However, the problem is more of it just says: This doesn't work. I tried this. Why doesn't it work. It doesn't provide enough information for solving it...

@rene Really? Then I can remove my comment?

rene

Yes, I rather have you folloe our CV as dup :-)

hichris123

@rene Can't, already VTC.

jadarnel27

@hichris123 "This doesn't work. I tried this. Why doesn't it work." - that...sounds like a great way to ask a question.

Show your problem, tell / show what you tried, ask what's wrong.

rene

Too bad...some other might follow our dup suggestion, It has already two votes for the same dup

hichris123

9:00 PM

@jadarnel27 Well, if it was a code question, sure. However, I guess what I'm getting at is it doesn't give us enough information to solve it. It's a vague wording of a problem... and not descriptive enough to tell us specifically what is wrong.

TGMCians

@hichris123 hmm okay

@hichris123 "Barely" is a very subjective term.
