The US has never taken my scissors, but Taiwan has.

What if... TWP and IPS (et. al.) required you to pay 200 rep to post a comment?

heh

Maybe get a refund if it's highly voted and an unrefund when flagged and deleted?

The meaning of a sunset is prescribed by us anyway.

It's been nice to share it the few times I have.

delv-pls 20K plot meta.stackexchange.com/questions/299611/… /cc @bart @sha @TravisJ (needs 1 more)

Kaboom

@Michelle must start with Sha... ;)

/Cc @Sha

@SagarV well that is true... ;)

BTW, @M.A.R. is to be blamed for my name change! He knows why. :P

nooo

@ShaWizDowArd oh man

This is too good to be true

@ShaWizDowArd Since your name is now Sha

Are you the embodiment of negative emotions such as fear, hatred etc?

And is your phisical form black grayish monstrosities with tentacle greyish arms

Something happends to ttavta pei ?

@DragandDrop all kind of things happen to him

You are right but I was talking about the 1y ban.

sure, if you don't want that to happen make sure your comments are not near the edge, or over it...

@rene 1 year is somewhat bad to cool down

may be they can suspend till winter to cool down but beyond that, doesn't make sense

Not sure what you mean, but assume joking, so: hahaha

O_O

brr

@Magisch nope. The Dow part is good and used to balance it.

I was suspended for six months once

From chat*

o_O

And you dare coming back !

@M.A.R. but it is!

Joke Joke don't ban me!

dragging @Drag into the shadows

ban @Drag

@ShaWizDowArd Drop @Drag in Den

@ShaWizDowArd Wiener?

status-trying-to-help-people-ask-proper-questions

@Magisch I'm lurking there. You're doing great!

(the others as well, ofc)

@rene nope

I did one, went pretty well.

boring Schnitzel ...

I can see this being like a review queue long term

Helping people can be very rewarding when it works. And when it doesn't, you're right there to kick it into the CVQ

true

I think I can dig it

Tis' the second question today that went from unsalvageable to quite decent

hoo completed a small component

perfect idea :P

huh now we've 5 mods on board

andy left

also can't find Ed

so now 3

Bha Jour and The

the proper short form for my name is geek ;p

(fun fact. I was originally the journeyman geek, but we dropped the the for easier pinging)

@Michelle It's funny, photographers have had photos ruined because the guests refuse to simply experience an event. They'll stand up with their phones or tablets and block the professional photographers/videographers... sometimes for the entire event.

And mine is BR

@Michelle And it's not just the shots of the primary subjects that get ruined, e.g.: a groom's reaction to seeing his wife walking down the aisle. When you're focused on your device, it's really tough for a photographer to capture you and your genuine, emotional reaction to the moment. Those emotional micro-expressions just don't happen when your brow is furrowed, fiddling with your phone.

@Michelle which is really unfortunate, since the family probably paid thousands to have professionals document the day.

@canon I pointedly do NOT whip out my camera/phone for most moments like that

I stop, watch THEN pull out the camera

@JourneymanGeek At what point, I wonder? Say that you're grandma. The bride definitely wants a shot of your teary reaction to the reveal/vows/kiss/whatever. Some brides never get that because grandma wants to take her own cell phone photo.

@canon hm. Often never.

Or if its something so damned cool someone else NEEDS to see it

heh

@Undo That was my take as well. That said, are there any stellar examples that weren't just ports of existing API documentation? Are there examples where real gaps were filled?

@JourneymanGeek that's good we already have another the it will make problem like when ping @Sha , it will ping @ShaWizDowArd not @ShadowoftheShadow

@ErrorinException besides, I've not had the the in... years

@BhargavRao BR is more suitable for Braiam or BrianNickel but it won't ping them

@JourneymanGeek the new the is new to Tavern if you have the the then we can ask him to remove the the unfortunately you don't have the the

@ErrorinException well, I've been on the tavern on and off

probably around more since I started grinding meta

@ErrorinException well, I don't need the the cause I'm the only journeyman geek ;p

(and at least vaguely SE famous?)

@JourneymanGeek well I'm the only Error in Exception in the world

~ going to kill chrome

~ @Shawiz

no one here?

well It's shog's fault

the room is empty, people linger on the edge of this dream. No longer sleeping, not yet awoke, the illusion will continue to persist for a while.

Real people hanging out in real taverns... ;)

and yet the taverns of their so-called worlds are no more real than this tavern. A tavern with a blue striped talking cat, talking flowers, ponies, penguins and space-invader sprites.

Yep, we could say this is indeed an amazing tavern

@ErrorinException it will ping both as it always did

really ?

Yup

@Feeds on the other hand, StarCraft 2

#exdevproblems

@Shog9 can you perchance try to award me the two badges manually?

Bluefeet and animuson have them because perhaps they got them before being hired?

@Sklivvz if memory serves, would have to alter the user history records directly

That can't be because I've already got the user history records for protem and election. I think it's a black list but it's not been kept up to date

@Sklivvz I'll have a look

I don't remember Jeremy being a mod on SO

Yup. Short tenure, but yes

and you are on an internal list of "former developer accounts"

presumably to stop you from getting mod badges on every site?

Almost certainly boils down to mod and employee records being extremely unreliable until about 2012

@Shog9 And what would be the problem with that exactly? ;-)

which may point to a better way of doing this

A manual award OTOH requires no work at all, just a db entry

true

Can't make a joke with 06-08-2068...

error post O_o

no!

yes

perfect

JavaScript Swift interpreter?

lol, I should write an essay about my ambitions

Sometimes I wonder when someone's last seen on SO is long ago... does it mean that they... stop programming? I really believe the other possibility of "rage-quitting and promise to never open SO link again" is small...

Maybe they stop living?

Who knows

Oh, Happy Hour in 5 minutes

@Elias or you can just... Log out and never log back in.

Happy hour, y'all

Hey, I demand that we express happiness through chat messages ASAP

I'm getting sleepy

@Shog9 d'oh, I forgot the obvious facepalm

Redemption Rye is the special today

Good for hard problems with no solution

Like helping new users

Why can't I find the meta thingy for the mentorship thingy?

As always, sleepy hour... 💤

@Elias that's what you get for holding an event where ShaWiz is asleep

I should've been asleep too

@M.A.R. the mentorship thingy was mentioned on DAG post, which linked to the SO Mentorship Research Project meta post

Yo DAG
