@Bart I like to think lifehacks.stackexchange.com/a/7395/4658 was pretty useful.

I'm already laughing

@Unihedron Could "By posting a train of ponies pictures" be the answer?

Most of them are.

@nicael really? I thought it's a real living banana who created the account :D

@Mooseman What was the deleted comment at lifehacks.stackexchange.com/q/7078/4658?

Ah, that Peter :D

3:26 PM

e.g. meta.stackexchange.com/posts/258651/revisions

yes, that Peter :D

@JasonC Which one?

@nicael only SE staff knows, maybe

@Mooseman The very last one made by me on the question.

this mean I flagged myself?

3:28 PM

@nicael no, you flag your own mess

@JasonC I undeleted it

Or am I tripping? I am 90% sure there was a comment there.

@Mooseman no, you deleted the whole question

Oh the question's gone now.

(wrong button?)

3:29 PM

maybe that comment?

last one.

But anyway, question gone :D

@nicael Thanks.

@nicael question is no more you say?

Well the question arguably should be deleted, but that's a different topic.

@SPArchaeologist deleted by @moo

This is a better answer than what LH had.

lol, @balpha is messing with my room :D

@SPArchaeologist It's on Health.health.stackexchange.com/questions/52/…

@Mooseman why not leave it closed? Or is that LH policy to delete everything once closed?

3:31 PM

@ShadowWizard This question is a special case of health advice on LH.

@ShadowWizard It's not LH-specific policy. Questions that can't be fixed or used as an example should be deleted.

@nicael site... specific?

Can a moderator around here answer me the following: Can moderators send a question to the close queue, e.g., by flagging to close? I.e., can they have the community decide about its closure rather than unilaterally closing it?

well, have to go for now.

@Wrzlprmft no

Q: Add a way for moderators to cast a normal, non binding close/open vote

I think moderators should have the ability to cast a normal, non binding close and open vote like they were a normal user (while of course retaining their ability to cast a binding vote where necessary). This can be used in "grey areas" where a moderator can choose to give his or her opinion, bu...

@bjb568 looks like you need a flag to have . match all... instead of that [\s\S] business there.

eh whatever

The real problem is that there are no lookbehinds.

Yeah, JS has neither that flag, nor lookbehinds. Not too late to switch to Python...

HI BLUEFEET!

Shog9 on June 15, 2015

Long-suffering readers may have noticed that, as we’ve expanded Stack Overflow into strange and exciting territories, we always start by hiring a new community manager. These intrepid souls act as emulsifiers, enabling and promoting communication between the company and the growing community. This role is just as critical for our 140+ English-language sites, where our small team works to ensure that requests and concerns are addressed in a timely fashion (6-8 weeks, give or take). Whenever possible, community managers are hired from within the community itself – after all, who knows its needs better than someone who has been a part of it? …

@hichris123 I don't see bluefeet...

@JasonC Who the hell has a teaspoon?

@bjb568 I have a drawer full of them...

They're the smaller spoons.

I'm never going to get one, I'll never use it.

Hiya booby!

5:40 PM

@rene NOW YOU DO!

Don't your parents have silverware? The big spoons in the drawer are tablespoons and the small ones are teaspoons.

@JasonC IDK

...

No way I'm going to bother looking thru drawers.

Teaspoon

A teaspoon is an item of cutlery and/or a measuring instrument, as well as a unit of measurement of volume (usually abbreviated tsp.) in some countries and customs. == Cutlery == A teaspoon, as an item of cutlery, is a small spoon, commonly part of a silverware (usually silver plated, German silver or now, stainless steel) place setting, suitable for stirring and sipping the contents of a cup of tea or coffee, or adding a portion of loose sugar to it. These spoons have bowls more or less oval in shape. Teaspoons with longer handles, such as iced tea spoons, are commonly used also for ice cream...

Spoons are useless anyway, forks are how you eat food.
