So - there's a total of the earliest question, ^, two dupes on that same account, and then this new user dupe.
 
I've got two racks of spare ribs here, I can't decide if I want to marinate or dry rub.
I guess I want to actually eat at least one of them tonight.

@JasonC Marinate!
 
@LynnCrumbling Too late. I just finished concocting a rub, the contents of which I forget despite doing this all about 60 seconds ago. Gonna let them suck it up for about a half an hour then throw them in the oven for 4.
But actually I found a really great marinade recipe that's ridiculous on steak, I might pick up another rack or two next week because I suspect it will be awesome on pork too. Then I can think ahead enough to give them 24 hours to soak.
 
@JasonC Ever marinate chicken in Gazebo Room Greek dressing?
 
No
That sounds yummy though
I don't make chicken a lot; maybe that can be Monday.
 
Are you in the eastern us?
Gazebo Room is made in Mechanicsburg, PA... unsure of the distribution.
Looks like you can buy it online.
At least.. cases of it.
 
10:29 PM
Worchestershire Sauce makes everything better.
 
Yeah I actually know that company, I live in NYC, grew up in Pittsburgh, I drive through Mechanicsburg every time I go back and forth.
 
Ah - well, I work in York.
Frank and I live in Lancaster.
 
@LynnCrumbling It also makes shitty BBQ sauce better.
 
@AlexisKing Just read your profile for the first time. lol'd.
 
10:30 PM
I think I know this; didn't we once have a conversation a while ago about a business trip you were taking to Manhattan, and the best breakfast sandwich in NY?
 
@LynnCrumbling Hmm? :P
 
@JasonC Ah, that's right - when I came up to the Jacob Javits Center.
 
Oh yeah
 
@AlexisKing hahahaha
@JasonC How much of this snow did NYC get?
 
is confused
 
10:32 PM
We... got pummeled.
 
I want to get a smoker and be one of those dudes who stands out on the sidewalk smoking ribs
 
@AlexisKing Ah - "I'm a girl, k? K." -- your chat profile.
 
We've been getting dumped on at night, then 40 degree days follow and it melts right away.
 
Oh, that one. Haha.
 
@JasonC We got about a foot yesterday.. and it's 9 degrees.
@JasonC I'm hearing stories that the lancaster pikes are 1" of packed snow/ice... that even ice melt can't do anything with because it's too freaking cold.
 
10:34 PM
I've heard that too.
And I believe it.
 
@LynnCrumbling You wouldn't believe the number of "Thank you, sir"s I've gotten on SO. xD
 
@AlexisKing Thank you, sir!
 
@AlexisKing Infinite does a pretty good job of training us :)
 
whacks @hichris123
 
Shall I leave now? :P
 
10:36 PM
NYC winters always strike me as mild though, even the blizzards. The snow is usually cleared pretty quickly, and there's lots of foot and car traffic that pushes it around too. I got used to 2" thick sheets of clear ice in Pittsburgh every year.
 
The elevation here is real low and lots of wind comes off the ocean, too. I don't understand the weather here at all, it's too complicated.
 
How long have you been (actively) contributing to SO, @AlexisKing? I'm realizing again my 4.9k looks pitiful compared to all of you. :P
 
But so far this year we haven't gotten anything particularly crippling.
 
@hichris123 Trust me, your rep will never stop feeling pitiful on SO, what with all the 100k people about. :P
 
10:37 PM
@JasonC I've grown up used to hearing forecasts of 4-8", only to have it turn into all rain or some combination of sleet and x.... we're only 15 minutes north of the mason-dixon line.
 
@hichris123 I got your 5k/1 year about matched with 18k/3.5 years.
 
@AlexisKing I start to wonder exactly how long it'll be before I even hit 10k.
 
@hichris123 To answer your question, though, I think I've been semi-active since ~2012?
 
@LynnCrumbling Yeah that's exactly what happens in the city a lot too. Yay, snow! Oh wait, it's just gross and wet.
 
user259867
@AlexisKing I look at it differently: my profile says I'm in the top 4% of SO users for this year. Top 4% sounds good.
 
10:39 PM
@AlexisKing Hrm, okay.
 
@JasonC Yesterday came through for us, though. Forecast 4-8"... actual: ~12.
 
I like it at night though when there's heavy snow and not a lot of traffic or plows. Then it's just white and quiet.
Lol, surprise
 
@Woodface I just checked, and apparently I'm in the top 0.3% this quarter. I'm... okay with that.
 
@Woodface s/this year/this quarter/
 
user259867
@hichris123 Same difference
 
user259867
10:40 PM
It's March.
 
Where does it say top %
 
Actually, my quarter rank is one different from my year rank. :P
 
user259867
@JasonC In your profile on the far right
 
user259867
The system picks one of week / month / quarter / year, whichever makes you look better.
 
10:42 PM
Aww, @hichris123 beat me to it with the freehand red circle. :x
 
Wheeee - top 6% this quarter!
Same as the sales tax rate :)
 
@AlexisKing Hey, we need more freehand circles.
 
help
 
@hichris123 E_TOO_MANY_CIRCLES
 
Wait, MSO/MSE split happened almost a year ago? Wow, time flies.
@LynnCrumbling Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek that's PHP...
 
10:44 PM
 
@hichris123 COM Exception.
 
@hichris123 I know right
 
@LynnCrumbling Ah, good.
 
It's been too long, crazy gif
 
@AlexisKing Overachiever! :P
 
10:45 PM
@hichris123 Yeah. Php.... yuck.
@JasonC OH. My. God. Seizure.
 
@hichris123 It's okay, I'm only #3413 for this week. :P
 
@AlexisKing Slacker! :P
(see, you can never win!)
 
Your rank always seems awesome if you remember there's like 4,000,000 users.
 
@hichris123 I stopped rep-whoring after I hit 10k. ;)
@JasonC How many of those have 1 rep, I wonder...
 
@AlexisKing Look at the sidebar here: stackexchange.com/leagues/1/alltime/stackoverflow
 
10:47 PM
3.5 million have from 1-200 rep. But don't think about that. Just think about the rank.
 
I need
to scroll
this image
off the screen
right now.
phew
 
@AlexisKing 2417237
 
let me hide images on SE chat :P
 
Ok ribs, see you in 4 hours. I think I have enough teddy grahams to last me until then.
 
10:48 PM
@AlexisKing +100000
 
@rene That's a lot of people.
 
If you have to feed them all, sure
 
@JasonC I recommend a nice Caesar salad to go with your ribs.
 
user259867
@hichris123 That's the kind of post where I'd be happy to downvote and let it be. The chance is miniscule that someone would answer it in the present form.
 
That's a good idea. I need lettuce but grocery shopping will help kill time.
 
10:50 PM
@Woodface OP wasn't recently seen either.
 
Plus I somehow just ran out of black pepper, which is kind of an emergency.
 
@hichris123 Downvoted and closevoted.
 
user259867
yesterday, by Shog9
what happens to a question that can't be answered without edits from the OP if it doesn't get edits from the OP?
 
@JasonC Make sure you dry off the Romaine completely... it'll help the dressing stick.
 
that's tedious. Just use superglue
 
10:51 PM
^
 
@Shog9 Hey Shog.
Did you see the group of messages from earlier?
 
yeah
I deleted something
 
Also unclear (also crappy answer): stackoverflow.com/questions/28804326/…
 
Or someone
I don't remember
Something seemed to warrant deletion, and I deleted something
Then I felt I deserved a beer
 
10:52 PM
@Shog9 Well. As long as there was deletion at play. Delete all teh things.
 
@Shog9 That's all we ask. Anything will do.
 
@Shog9 Maybe you deleted yourself, then.
 
I didn't delete hichris, that's all that matters
 
@Shog9 I'm certain, that if you did indeed delete something, then you deserved a beer.
 
You didn't delete the beer, which also matters.
That'd be pretty heartbreaking though.
 
10:53 PM
'cause obviously I'm special.
Or not.
 
@JasonC This is a crucial fact. It needs a start.
 
actually...
...I need another beer now

Q: How move to the center in Raphael js paper?

socm_I have big paper - 3000px X 3000px. How do I can move to center position like javascript's scrollTo function?

 
@Shog9 Yeah but it was more of a migration than a deletion.
 
Since when do we have online paper? I want some of this!
@Shog9 What would you think of adding some tag guidance to [laptop] (Stack Overflow is only for programming problems, please check out Super User, yada yada yada)? Or perhaps just blacklisting it? (actually, should this be a meta post?)
 
10:58 PM
yes
 
@Shog9 Yes to meta post?
 
@hichris123 "paper" is the terminology used in Raphael for the drawing surface.
 
see if you can write a meta post before I delete all these questions
 
@JasonC Not canvas? Okay then.
 
@hichris123 Yeah I dunno, web programmers are weird.
 
11:00 PM
@Shog9 I feel so pressured now! (and I'm fairly confident you can delete faster than I can think up a good meta post...)
 
slacker
 
Time to head home.
 
Anyway, it's much easier to poke you, so...
 
Have a good weekend, all.
 
@JasonC +1
 
11:01 PM
Lol
 
@LynnCrumbling nice WE
 
one more cv req before I go:
 
@Shog9 Mmkay, I'm writing it... or should I even bother?
(meaning: are you taking care of it or does it still warrant a meta post?)
 
Three hours, 40 minutes remaining, arggggh.
Bbl, gonna go shopping. \o
 
@JasonC ... remaining to what?
 
11:12 PM
I can't believe how slow @hichris123 is

@Shog9 hey hey hey! I got distracted!
... oh, and the tag's gone.
welp, serves me right.
 
@SmokeDetector tpu, finally got to it

Q: You're doing it wrong: A plea for sanity in the Low Quality Posts queue

UndoIf you're reviewing low quality posts, I'd like you to read this. All of it. Not skim it, not just vote up/down with everyone else. In exchange, I'll keep it short. Or if you are too busy, here you go: TL;DR: Review carefully. Don't delete everything. Deletion is for things that actually aren...

 
user259867
That's a moderatorship-informed line of thought. Does this fit the definition of VLQ? Does this fit the definition of NAA? As a reviewer, I don't care about flag definitions: I don't even know how the post was flagged. If it deserves to stay on the site, I'll keep it, otherwise not.
 
user259867
What exactly is insane about bad answers getting deleted?
 
11:30 PM
@Woodface Mostly that we need to handle those through downvotes and comments - not by deleting what we think is "wrong"
 
user259867
Of course, I need to. Unless I can delete them, that is.
 
@Undo thanks for that ... it was overdue
 
user259867
Math subject also offers the luxury of knowing something's wrong, not just thinking it's wrong. Perhaps it's different on SO.
 
@bummi It's been bugging me for a while
 
@Undo me too ... just I have not dared to write because of my english
 
11:35 PM
@bummi You're ESL? Hah, I can't really tell natives apart from ESL speakers.
 
I can't tell bjb apart from... well either group
 
lol
 
ESL?
 
English as a Second Language
 
ok, thx
 
11:37 PM
I think it's fallen into disuse recently
 
@Undo Ugh, what new acronym do I need to learn now?
 
Sounds like Shog is in a deleting mood today

Q: Pirated software at a company?

Pro777I recently had a position at a small web development shop in the US where virtually all software used on a daily basis was cracked. My own IDE was paid for, and I used open source software personally while there, but I was still required to use MS Office and various Adobe products. For a myriad...

 
Oh :(
 
I poked someone. :)
 
11:45 PM
I feel like culture can split up and burninated
 
@KevinBrown Okay, now it should actually burn in a few hours.
