Anybody with 500 rep on Stack Apps want to resolve this (4+ year old old) review task on Stack Apps: stackapps.com/review/low-quality-posts/12

Hmm. Might've picked a slow time of day...

Somewhat

bounty me 500 then I'll review it :p

Awesome Poodles

Sure. Write a kick-arse answer and I'll do it.

Tinkeringbell

@AwesomePoodles Sorry! I'm not awake yet (I also don't have the required rep :P)

Awesome Poodles

5:48 AM

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, very few people who are still active, do. But they do visit the Tavern, just apparently not this time of day. ;)

Journeyman Geek

And not many people hang out on stackapps

Awesome Poodles

Even fewer on the Stack Apps chat.

@AwesomePoodles that site has two active mods, @TimStone is even pingable here... just flag the answer and a mod can delete it. :)

@ShadowWizard I am one of those mods (Brock Adams). If I wanted to delete the answer, I can do it. I just want to clear the review item. The answer is borderline, so I won't delete it unilaterally unless a fresh set of eyes agrees that it should be coment-ized or deleted.

PS: I see that you flagged it. Good enough. Thanks.

@AwesomePoodles oh lol, had no idea! :)

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Welll... 'Awesome Poodles' and 'Brock Adams' do sound really similar :P

Shadow Wizard

8:31 AM

@Tinkeringbell really similar, yeah... almost like Shadow Wizard and Meadow Walker! :D

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard It looks like socks are more common on SE than people want you to believe ;)

Or different usernames for different parts, at least

Journeyman Geek

Lol

Somewhat

Meadow Lizard?

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell yeah, that's not socks... :)

@Somewhat sounds just right!

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard I know... I'm not fully awake yet. I blame delayed trains and a significant lack of coffee

Shadow Wizard

oops

Bart

9:01 AM

gg well played

Shadow Wizard

Well surely @Bart can make you a double strong espresso, @Tink. ;)

Bart

Sure, come on over

Shadow Wizard

Careful, she might just do that!

:D

Tinkeringbell

Nah. Delayed trains, remember? :P

Shadow Wizard

I wonder, apart of Sonic and @Catija, have any Tavern users ever met IRL?

Bart

9:03 AM

It's only 10 hour by train from Amsterdam

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell but why the delays?

In Israel our train system just... suck... but Europe should have good system.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard One train was broken, and that meant the next one had to leave from a different track, which meant more delays as they needed to put the switches in another order.

Bart

It's quite okay. But after privatization of a lot of rail systems (NL, UK, etc.) it hasn't really improved

It's good here in Switzerland, but it's also expensive.

Bart

That's because there's always something to complain about :D

rene

Is this complain Thursday?

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell really?? lol never noticed :D

Tinkeringbell

@Bart That's true. Right now, it's the office internet connection.

@rene Yep.

rene

9:10 AM

Awesome, I leave you to it then ...

Bart

Every day ending in "day" is a day for complaints.

Tinkeringbell

@rene Hmmm... where to start ;)

Magisch

with complaining, of course

Tinkeringbell

Okay. My very funny mouse is losing to a cheese overflow logo!

(and the cheese overflow joke isn't even original, it was already made in the post :P)

My skin hurts and itches, as I wore make-up yesterday

My feet both have blisters from the high heels I wore too

This morning the train was delayed

And now I'm at a noisy spot in the office

But spotify won't work so there's no music to filter it out.

My direct access connection has been horrible for three days now.

And if I'm lucky, there will be only vegetarian snacks for lunch.

But that's about it :P

Oh. I just got some 'good' news too ;)

That's nice.

Magisch

I still have to take antibiotics till next wednesday, work is a bit cramped today, and there will be no lunch

Tinkeringbell

9:22 AM

@Magisch Oh. Still not better?

no lunch? I'd quit my job on the spot :P

Magisch

@Tinkeringbell is that good or bad?

Shadow Wizard

Depends who makes it:

Aug 20 at 13:50, by Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Right. So, that says a little about how much I hated the vegetarian/vegan food. (I've since had some good vegan/vegatarion stuff too though ;) )

@Fabby can most likely cook awesome vegetarian food. :D

Magisch

10:36 AM

@ShadowWizard i'm 99% my company has a lower market cap then SE

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek In this case, it would've been bad. Looks like last weeks fiasco was only a public relations stunt related to World Animal Day though

Shadow Wizard

@Magisch so what? They can sell assets in order to pay me after I win the court lawsuit. :P

Magisch

pretty sure all the assets of the company and everyone working for it would not be enough to buy SE. Not even close.

Shadow Wizard

So not buy... invest. This will give enough influence. ;)

Dang, someone went on a Downvoting spree in the last 5-6 hours. These three questions, plus a few others, got a LOT of attention from someone:

Disappointment :( When icons light up green, and you think something happened, and nothing is there ;(

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell where?

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard One on of my open tabs ;) I got a silver answer badge, but while the achievement icon lit up on the two tabs I have open, I only see the notification on one, in the other it isn't there ;)

My mouse finally made it past cheeseoverflow again :)

Something Bad Happened

12:29 PM

The “International Stack Overflow” effort is well and good, but its primarily focus on supporting the Soviet enemy in this time of war may lead some on the HUAC to doubt your patriotism.

Tinkeringbell

@SomethingBadHappened Ehhh... HUAC?

And I don't think SE supports politics in any way?

Q: Time to take a stand

I am extremely upset by President Trump’s executive order on immigration. It is immoral, unconstitutional, and fundamentally un-American.

You're not a good listener! Go have a course on active listening or something XD

@ShadowWizard I saw that post once ... Forgot all about it, that's how important it was ;)

Rainbow SO...

Journeyman Geek

@SomethingBadHappened I don't think people here are old enough or American enough to get the McCarthy reference

Tinkeringbell

12:54 PM

@JourneymanGeek I know the name, not really what it was about ;) Just that it's old XD

Shadow Wizard

@Somewhat that wasn't political actually :) (I think?)

But when targeting specific political figure, it is.

Somewhat

Ok. I will take a seat...

Shadow Wizard

Better than a stand!

:D

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard It can be seen as making some kind of statement...

I'm empowered to talk for the company a fair bit (even though we rarely have an "official" view), but you can take this post as my personal take. We didn't share thoughts, feelings, suggestions for how the justices should vote, etc. while this was being decided. We only shared in the celebrati...

Looks like it .

Ah well, you can't expect anything to be neutral these days anymore....

I've learned that much lately XD

Shadow Wizard

True!

If you're happy for one side, the other side will get mad at you.

Somewhat

I'm neutral: both pro-left and pro-right

(j/k there's no left and right in my country)

Shadow Wizard

@Somewhat you live in Dream Land?

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard More like the people/companies/movements around you aren't neutral. They're always pulling you in a certain direction

And if they're not pulling, they're pushing;)

Somewhat

nothing left in my no-rights country :'(

Tinkeringbell

1:26 PM

@Somewhat I try to be, doesn't work ;)

Shadow Wizard

@Somewhat ohh lol

(sad lol that is ;))

Tinkeringbell

One way or the other, you will find that one side is doing something that you won't tolerate and end up 'on the other side'

Sides are subjective. You can be smack in the middle of a spectrum, and be seen as 'the other side' by both the high and low end of such a spectrum ;)

Shadow Wizard

Wise words!

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, I'm sounding like a confused confucius

Let's get back to our scheduled programming of fun XD

Mithrandir

since they became cheesy

Shadow Wizard

@ShadowWizard Yeah, that's cool, but now you haven't set the 'punchline' variable

Tinkeringbell

@Mithrandir Like this?

Shadow Wizard

Mithrandir

I more often see it called "string cheese", but yes

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard That is starting to look like we're getting somewhere.

Shadow Wizard

1:34 PM

@Tinkeringbell this makes me @Somewhat happy! :D

Tinkeringbell

I think now we need a JokeListener, and some kind of JokeEventHandler?

@Somewhat have to admit that I chuckled.

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell I think that the company has a whole, and as a private organisation, dosen't need to be apolitical.

Tinkeringbell

1:54 PM

@JourneymanGeek They simply can't be. No need to pretend to be either then ;)

Somewhat

@Bart I stole Tinkeringbell's joke, thank her instead :)

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell some folks feel though...

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Sure. I'd rather it was possible too

Would make some things in life a lot easier.

@Tinkeringbell Well, in a sense, they could - but as an organisation, they would be poorer for it.

Shadow Wizard

@Bart drink more, take painkillers. We need you! :D

Journeyman Geek

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Could they really though? There will most likely always be people that perceive an apolitical stance as yet another form of politics

Like I said, there's no way to satisfy everyone.

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell or as a way not to hear voices they don't want to hear without saying so

@Tinkeringbell I can talk

Why scroll up though?

The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)

"The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)" is the debut single by Spanish pop group Las Ketchup, taken from their debut studio album Hijas del Tomate (2002). It was released on 10 June 2002, and became an international hit later that year. In addition to the original Spanish version, the song exists in forms with Spanglish and Portuguese verses, although the nonsensical chorus is identical in all three versions. This song reached number-one in the United Kingdom, as well as 26 other countries worldwide. As of 2006, the song has sold over 7 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of...
