7:00 PM
I don't even know how I would find it
 
@Gerry on Math meta, I think.
 
@TravisJ I really want to somehow tie this in to a joke about Private Browsing (that's all I could think of) but I dunno...
 
eagerly awaiting privates joke
 
Oh I didn't know anybody was waiting
Um...
 
eagerly awaiting privates joke
 
7:01 PM
@StevenVascellaro - To be honest, I don't think that bountying that is a good idea. balpha was pretty final in his answer
 
user315433
@ShadowWizard Yeah... not one of my favorite places, but worth a shot. But after a while, since the feature seems experimental.
 
> Either way, wanting to force the codeblock to be separate from the list is not the most common situation, and thus should definitely not be what the button does.
 
@Gerry yup. Good luck with that!
 
Well I found a web site with jokes, and its meta description tag is "OVER 900 JOKES ABOUT YOUR PRIVATES! Did you leave the barn door open again? ROFL with our huge collection of professionally written jokes."
So this seems like a reliable source, let's see...
 
@TravisJ Well it's already been bountied, so I can't take it back now
 
7:03 PM
what is good about this topic request: stackoverflow.com/documentation/c%23/topic-requests/24306 ? Am I missing something?
 
@rene God dammit, the ellipses obscured the link, I feel like you tricked me into visiting Documentation.
Can't unsee
 
happy dance
 
When flagging to close a question as a duplicate, is there a way to specify that one of the answers should be moved/reposted from the duplicate to the master?
 
@Jason being phished attacked by @rene
@StevenVascellaro nope, only a custom flag
 
Should I just repost it via community wiki and cite the original answer?
 
7:09 PM
@StevenVascellaro You could raise a custom mod flag. But first ask if, in the grand scheme of things, doing so helps anything, remembering that questions closed as dupes are still accessible.
 
@StevenVascellaro no, no point in that.
 
Question A has more upvotes and is phrased better, but question B has a better answer
 
@StevenVascellaro so maybe worth reversing the dupe direction. What question?
 
oh, no hammer there. Thought you mean on MSE. :/
So just flag, and wait. :)
 
7:11 PM
@StevenVascellaro ask @JourneymanGeek to have a look , oh I just did
 
lol
Is @Journeyman around?
Usually he reply fast, so guess not.
 
In particular, this answer should be transferred, since it works for Windows 10 home users. superuser.com/a/1128286/358766
 
Nope, it is their bed time
 
Not sure mods can transfer single answers, they can merge the whole question though.
 
7:13 PM
Merging may be the best choice
They are pretty close to exact dupes
 
@rene how you know? you stalk him?
 
Though I already did the dupe flag, so it's too late to do a custom one I think
 
@ShadowWizard I watch their webcam ... oops ....
 
@StevenVascellaro I voted to close the newer one as a dupe of the older one because it really doesn't matter here at all. It will sort itself out and all this information is still just as accessible to the world regardless of which direction the dupe goes: It doesn't matter.
 
@StevenVascellaro nope, you should be able to raise a custom flag in addition to other flags. I think.
@rene naughty flower! :P
 
7:14 PM
Oh huh. There's a bug. I think the "One of your flags was recently denied" message box may be preventing me from changing my flag
 
You can't change flags at all, can you?
 
@StevenVascellaro you can't change. What you see under the "Other" option?
 
@StevenVascellaro try ticking the "in need of moderator..."
 
Clicking "In need of moderator intervention" does nothing
 
7:16 PM
oh
 
I cant select it
 
So guess you'll have to wait for the dupe flag to be handled, or retract it.
 
Or, seriously, stop overthinking it, lol.
 
OCD
They can't stop
 
Pick one, vtc as the other, raise a mod flag if you want it merged, 10 seconds later, done. The world will be fine.
 
7:17 PM
Otherwise bad things happen
 
No matter which direction you go in, no more or less people will be stuck with a OneDrive pop-up.
PLEASE HELP, I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS POP UP BUT I CANNOT BECAUSE SOME QUESTION ABOUT IT ON SU WAS CLOSED AS A DUPE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND NOW OMG THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
 
that is basically my reaction ....
... and then ask on Quora instead ...
 
No love for yahoo answers?
 
blech
 
@JasonC meh
 
7:22 PM
derp derp derp
So I just ordered some food online by reordering a past order. Then it came and there was a coffee cup full of coffee! And I was super stoked because I didn't notice the coffee on my past order, so I felt like I was somehow looking out for future me in the past, and that I won. Sweet, coffee.
But then I opened it up and took a sip without looking and it turns out they just put a bunch of marinara sauce for my cheese sticks in a coffee cup. :(
Also I already ate the cheese sticks and was kind of bummed that they didn't include sauce.
So much fail :(
So I had sauceless cheese sticks, I'm still without coffee, I have a coffee cup full of marinara sauce with no purpose, and I've had a fairly large number of hopes dashed in the last 5 minutes.
2017 sucks.
 
You talk about yourself @Jason or was it supposed to be the joke you promised? o_O
 
I promised no jokes
 
Sounds like something that happened to you, yeah.
@JasonC :(
 
Also chunky marinara sauce is incredibly disturbing when you're expecting coffee
 
That's true... the surprise is unpleasant.
I once ate something that appeared to be sweet.... turned out it was super spicy instead. D:
 
7:28 PM
blech
 
What did your cat eat? @Jason
 
Cat food
 
lol
so informative
 
Lol well I mean, how much more detail did you want?
 
Good question! Let me think...
 
7:29 PM
3/16 cups royal canin dry, adult indoor cat formula
 
That's better!
Reminds me of Nick's answers compared to other developers.
Many details, useless to most, but priceless for few. ;)
You and the cat eat together so she won't be jealous? @Jason
 
that's not many details. i can give you many details. i have all the nutrition info from the packaging, plus potassium, vitamin b12, tyrosine, and phenylalanine content obtained via email, and i can get plenty more if you want :P
it's a she
 
at lunch we don't eat together but i feed her breakfast and dinner generally at the same time i eat
the one that died was a he
 
I see
 
7:36 PM
the calico one is the one i have still
also i just realized i've been fending off being upset by avoiding looking at pictures of him

Q: "Not an answer" flag declined with "This is NOT spam. Use 'not an answer' for this."

nhahtdhThis is the answer that was flagged: Passing data to a bootstrap modal Is this because of another user flagging this as spam, and the tool for community moderator doesn't allow for flexibility in declining flags?

 
user311528
what happened there? with the reopening
 
user311528
cc @ShadowWizard
 
i'd assume he was either investigating the auto inserted text, or just pressed the wrong button.
 
user311528
7:47 PM
hm, okay
 
user311528
maybe to clear it from the reopen vote queue, if he just edited it
 
user311528
@JasonC this is adorable
 
that's my kitty
 
aw
 
He is a siamese ragdoll mix
 
user311528
7:49 PM
is adorable
 
Got him from the SPCA in honolulu :)
 
that's an interesting mix. and makes for a super affectionate personality.
 
Yeah, he is a little eccentric, but really gentle. If he bats at you it feels like getting attacked with a small stuffed animal since he never uses his claws.
UCD (or other places, but that was the closest to me) allow you to send in a small cheek swab to do a DNA analysis of your cat.
 
that's neat i always wanted to get something like that done for vinnie (the black one, he died last month). i know his mom was a mutt, but i don't know what his dad was. some kind of ragamuffin or ragdoll.
he did have the classic maine coon heart defects but i don't think he actually had any maine coon in him.
cake (the white one, that i still have), is just a street mutt, lol.
she has a disproportionately tiny head and a huge bushy tail, that picture is way too flattering to her. she's incredibly sweet and cuddly to me, but mean as shit to anybody else.
i'm pretty sure she only tolerates me because i feed her.
 
lol, you are part of the pack
My cat is basically a mutt as well. While they ID'd the top 2, there were another like 4 types in there as well.
I am not sure how to properly socialize cats towards other people, perhaps putting a leash on her and taking her for a walk would help? Unsure. Jackson Galaxy would know, that guy is totally a cat whisperer.
 
8:02 PM
i've found that it's important to expose them to other people when they're really young. like first few months. otherwise it'll be a challenge their whole lives. but even if you don't, it's not too hard, mostly it just takes time.
depends on context. if you keep them in a place where other people randomly come in and out a lot too they'll usually eventually realize that humans arent a threat, but still, mostly in the first years of their life. old cats, good luck.
walking her on a leash could work but only if she's tolerant to being walked on a leash. if the leash and walking is a negative experience you'd only do more harm than good.
some day when i have a bigger place to live i want to get a couple of these
 
If I put a leash on my cat he army crawls around outside at first lol. After he gets used to being in new territory though he adapts quickly and will walk very similar to my dog will, sniffing small things, and looking around.
Those need a lots of space
heh, this image is pretty cute though
 
8:30 PM
is it cinco de drinko time yet?
 
8:48 PM
Happy Day day!
 
user311528
9:09 PM
@TravisJ you put a leash on your cat? lol
 
user311528
mine just follows me
 
@Riker - Too many cars, dogs, and distractions in my area unfortunately. What also doesn't help is that someone would probably steal my cat =/
You take your cat for a walk outside and he/she follows you? How far do you go?
 
user311528
1/4 mile at the most
 
Do you live in a rural area?
 
user311528
suburban
 
user311528
9:13 PM
near LA, but near = 3 hours away
 
Yeah, I am familiar with the area. But south of the 210 is like pure city, and north into the hills can get fairly spacious
Anyway, that's nice. Not really an option for my cat though. I would worry about him getting lost and someone not returning him.
 
@Riker it was closed as duplicate in the old mechanism, which left the message inside the body itself, not as a notice like the new dupe mechanism is doing, so I used the hammer to close it "properly". I do that a lot, since this probably won't be ever done automatically:

Q: Two kinds of Duplicate closing are too confusing - suggestion for a possible fix

Shadow WizardQuestion closed as duplicate before Changes to "close as duplicate" (part deux): Question closed as duplicate after Changes to "close as duplicate" (part deux): This is confusing. This is two different designs for the same thing. To sum the changes up: Different banner on top of t...

 
user311528
@ShadowWizard ah, okay
 
Then after reopening, the text is still there, so need to manually edit it out.
 
9:50 PM
@ShadowWizard meta.stackexchange.com/q/295370/230261, dupe of meta.stackexchange.com/questions/285220/… -- his edit just changed what it was a dupe of.
 
erps, created a stack overflow
 
10:19 PM
morning
yeah, I do actually sleep ;p
 
If by sleep you mean you close your eyes and let your subconscious make all the decisions, then suure, we believe you.
 
@JasonC I know, already closed it but other hammer reopened it. :(
 
Oh oops I didn't check the edit history.
OHHH WELLLL
 
10:51 PM
Can we have a "shake my head" close reason?
 
@TravisJ Well we used to have "lacks basic understanding of problem being solved". Then too many people warped it to "shake my head" so it got canned, lol.
@ShadowWizard LOL (or possibly: facepalm)
 
11:18 PM
custom close reason "I'd like to have some of what OP is smoking"
 
11:28 PM
I'm voting to close this as off-topic because "arbitrarily closing your question gives my sad, angry existence a tiny sliver of validation and a modest, temporary sense of control".
 
11:43 PM
hah
