@SmokeDetector tpu

@bummi Blacklisted user.

See what I mean?

a "user didn't bother reading the error" close reason in triage would be so welcome

10:50 AM

The SO profile is hard to read because there is not enough contrast for the silvers.

@IanKemp AKA lacks minimal understanding.

In contrast :), on ELU it is easy.

@tchrist I agree. They should make the gold badges red, the silver badges blue and the bronze badges green.

@Unihedron yeah, good thing that one was removed

@IanKemp ... no.

10:51 AM

@Unihedron Do you do calligraphy that you should know that secret?

@Unihedron that was sarcasm

... no.

When laying down gold leaf, you put red ink behind it, and when laying down silver leaf, you put blue ink. This vastly improves the look.

:p

Old Illuminator trick.

They of course did not use bronze leaf because it is not a noble metal.

Bronze would sometimes be used to bind the codex, however, as it could be replaced at need.

My friend took a summer calligraphy course from one of ER2’s two Royal Calligraphers, and he taught her this secret of their guild.

@Unihedron uuuh. I didn't delete those :/

Well, I haven't checked elsewhere, but I think it is an SO CSS issue.

looks elsewhere

I actually think part of the problem is with these fat-screened monitors being too sensitive to angle of incidence.

Which is hard to solve.

Not much we can do about that one...

Where is that simulator that shows what the same image looks like if you are aged 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 again? It is useful for stuff like this.

it is pretty sensitive in that regard

[ SmokeDetector ] Repeating characters in answer: How to create concurrent queues properly with three requests at the same time by user3901596 on stackoverflow.com

@Oded Indeed true. But it looks fine on ELU yet lame on SO.

Remember all the CSS tweaks for contrast when the new CSS got rolled out to each site? Link contrast was a sore spot. This seems related.

Slap it on MSO then. With [bug] and [design] on it
