Q: Pictures in the sand to satisfy a guard

A party is being held at a local mansion. The host is very rich and his success is because of one thing - his famous recipe for spaghetti. He has pushed your tiny spaghetti startup to the side, and sabotaging him is your only hope of achieving dominance in the spaghetti marketplace. The only gu...

@Undo oh nice

Undo

@Doorknob bad doorknob

Frank

much better @Doorknob

Undo

whitespace somewhat important

Doorknob

@Undo I'm sorry, but I don't have a 5000x2000 screen. :P

Undo

10:17 PM

(sorry :P)

Frank

why

Doorknob

... oh, it is?

Undo

Well kind of, it gets even harder without it

Doorknob

Fine, then I'll just delete it. That way we don't have to worry about whether there's whitespace or not. :P

Undo

nah, I'll add it as a hint.

don't rollback

Doorknob

10:19 PM

okay

You could just link to puzzling.stackexchange.com/revisions/8023/2, I guess

Undo

yeah

done

this is so obvious

Doorknob

Well to you, of course it is :P

Bart

All I have concluded is that I won't be participating on Puzzling

Undo

yay, I'm driving people away

I need to do that in SO

Bart

10:28 PM

Next goal: get @Undo suspended on Puzzling for actively driving users away.

Undo

waits for canned 'abusive to others' message

Bart

Doorknob

@Bart Sure thing, just a second

There, that should do it!

Braiam

O_O

Bart

@Doorknob justice!

Braiam

10:32 PM

Bart

Just keep refreshing @Braiam

Braiam

@Bart no changes!

Is there an exchange where questions about the international use of television codecs are on topic?

I read an article on Cracked today on how the USA has 2 competing codecs for UHD television, and I was wondering if that's also the case in Europe

but Movies and TV shows don't allow questions on content technology

Not good. Power out and sun setting.

@NateKerkhofs I'm not sure if it's on topic there, but consider video.se.

@Fundamental now he only needs rats to make it special

@Fundamental Video.se is aimed at video production, not video consumption

questions about home theater systems are off-topic

user259867

Hmm. There is something like that on Super User.

user259867

But no general home electronics SE site; I think that was deemed too broad ("gadgets.SE")

user259867

I'm afraid a question of the form "Is it true that Europe has 2 UHD standards" does not fit anywhere on SE. It's more of a search task than a question.

Nate Kerkhofs

thought as much

user259867

Engineering.SE is in beta now.

Q: Should we change the order of things in the Asking section of the Help Center?

In our quest to improve the quality of questions, especially from newcomers, I wonder if we should change the order of categories in the Asking section of the Help Center. I especially think moving up some things that don't appear until "View More" is chosen would be helpful. This is a rough draf...
