@iDebug there's usually a delay

Fine.

Does anyone have a rough estimate about the time of delivery, to China?

"Reviewed" is anything but "No action needed"

Rob

Yeah; just double checked myself by checking the history of the queue

@SmokeDetector naa-

Hmm, interesting...

Eh, nvm.

12:53 AM

@iDebug iirc they use a courier - and its tracked

but initial shipping will take a while

@JourneymanGeek There's a huge problem for me to submit receiving address.

It's near the traditional Chinese Spring Festival

and I'm on a move

@iDebug ehhh can't ship it to the parentals or something?

over 1,000 km, among 3 cities, two of which may be temporarily unavailable.

I'm in a university and my parents go to take care of their parents, who don't live in the same city.

12:57 AM

that's messy.

Yeah.

or ask your friend a favor...

I'm in Hefei, Anhui. My family owns a property in city A, and my grandparents live in city B.

@AndrewT. I'm considering that.

Rob

Does your post office offer 'virtual' addresses / boxes?

My parents and I will be moving to A in mid January, and we will be moving to B in early February, and I'll be moving back to Hefei in late Feb.

@Rob Lol. Never heard of that. Likely unavailable in China.

Hmm, well you may also be able to ask SE to hold on to it for a little while, until you finalize your move

Does anyone have an estimate of the average time of delivery?

When the package enters China's territory it's only a matter of no more than 3 days.

So I can calculate the time with a satisfactory precision as soon as I know the time it takes to get to China.

user202362

I think it depends on when the package is sent, and how it's sent

user202362

in it's sent a few weeks before the Chinese new year and in a cargo ship, at least give it 2-3 months

@Telkitty Surely it depends on when, but what is how?

user202362

I am still waiting for my tent, it's 7th week

1:10 AM

Tent?

user202362

from the day I bought it, that is

@iDebug to china, no idea

@Telkitty International shipping over 7 wks?

user202362

the longest was 5 months - bought in Nov, got in Mar next year

@iDebug Tent

1:14 AM

hah

from china varies massively

@AndrewT. Another dialectal word perference?

no, just a bit history of Telkitty's tent

I thought it's like the difference for pant or football between BrE and AmE...

Bad luck.

I didn't achieve full mark in the final exam of my C language programming course.

I thought I should with 6k+ on Stack Overflow.

SilentKiller

is it possible to reactive any frozen SO chat room ?

@SilentKiller yes, mods can do that, in some cases.

but it the room is frozen by a mod instead of inactivity you have to have a good case for requesting that

SilentKiller

Its because of Inactivity.

@SilentKiller flag one of your posts for mod attention and link to the room you want defrosted with a rationale why you want that

@rene already did

BTW you can use @Sha, no need for the looooong name... @rene ;)

8:47 AM

@ShadowtheHedgehogWizard I used the autocomplete

SilentKiller

Thanks @rene

@ShadowtheHedgehogWizard also when you reply it longnames ;p

@SilentKiller here is an example of a mod unfreezing a room: chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/39905720#39905720

@rene lazy flower!

@JourneymanGeek yeah can't avoid that!

@sha could avoid replying ;p

with the added bonus of driving you (more) mad

@JourneymanGeek noo

Can mods force undelete posts that are deleted by their owners?

@iDebug yes, even 10K-ers can. Only mod deleted posts can only be undeleted by a mod.

@rene So mods can delete anything and undelete anything?

Except self-deleted comments.

12:19 PM

@iDebug yep

we can't undelete comments we delete either

Allow my ego to be bigger for a while.

I think my skills in programming is much beter than average among my peers.

Age 18, university freshman of China.

I wonder if there's an SEDE query to sort selected users by reputation.

Possibly Select user.rep Order Desc Where user.age <= 1;8

I don't know anything about SQL, however.

3:02 PM

is age even visible to normal users?

not any more!

I know it was once

what?

When editing my profile it always tells me "birthday is used for displaying age"

@iDebug removed this year: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/294637/…

so SEDE is your only source

@rene I know you're good at writing SEDE queries.

better learn SQL a bit. Just the basic is enough...

starting from basic SELECT, WHERE, and ORDER BY is already good enough

later on...

I found a good use of gaming keyboards, lol.

Markdown sources of comments can be placed into "clipboard macros", and posting a comment would be only a matter of two key strokes.

A macro key, then Enter.

or you could get an extension ;p
