But I also see it as a start to rebuild things

Shadow Wizard

And in the meantime, while HNQ still alive, got another one in there.... this time question about android(s). ;)

hehe, best answer ever. Short, simple, and to the point.

A: Do moderators earn a salary?

No.

Wonder how it would onebox without the "No." lol

Andras Deak

@JourneymanGeek I never said it's the same thing. Just a bit in the similar vein. But Tim doesn't deserve to be treated like this. My point is that nobody deserves to be treated like this.

Shadow Wizard

Think it was something John said that triggered one of @Journeyman's buttons. :/

looking around in fear of more buttons being pressed

SmokeDetector

@ShadowWizard brews a cup of mint tea for @g3r

Journeyman Geek

1:19 PM

@AndrasDeak no one does. We're not equating this to anything SE has done right?

Andras Deak

Of course not. What happened now is that someone with a personal vendetta against Tim made attacks on his person on amazon, and they acted on the report without doing proper investigation. What happened back then was someone with a personal vendetta against SO made attacks on members of the community on SO, and they acted on the report without doing proper investigation.

very different

Journeyman Geek

Errrrrr doesn't sound like you think it is

Andras Deak

Nah, I do. Just don't think it's entirely without irony. Even if it's a cruel kind of irony that I wouldn't even wish for my enemies

Journeyman Geek

And I don't think it's personal as far as those tweets went

@Tinkeringbell rant about Bart not coming to this room

@SmokeDetector 🍵

Andras Deak

"Teacup without handle". Doesn't sound very practical...

g3rv4

it's mint tea... it doesn't sound practical

Magisch

Peppermint tea is very practical

it tastes and smells amazing

the nectar of the gods

Journeyman Geek

@AndrasDeak Chinese and Japanese teacups don't have em

Andras Deak

do they have hands covered in asbestos?

or are they just familiar with the proper way of creating heatproof cups...

Shadow Wizard

1:27 PM

@g3rv4 sure it is! It cured my flu this week. ;)

I had a flu with high fever. Drank mint tea. No more fever, no more flu. :P

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard maybe I have buttons. Or I am always angry :p

Shadow Wizard

(or maybe it was the double painkiller dosage ;))

g3rv4

@ShadowWizard hmm, interesting. I'll report back after my next flu

Shadow Wizard

!!/flu @g3rv4

SmokeDetector

@ShadowWizard No such command 'infect'.

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek oh you have... we saw what happens when they're pressed.... ;)

@AndrasDeak probably thick glass, I have few of those.

There's also the Hug Mug.

Andras Deak

yeah, I'm aware of the hug mug

Shadow Wizard

This is real. :D

oh lol

Andras Deak

Max Brenner

Shadow Wizard

1:32 PM

@AndrasDeak you know his story? (sad)

Somewhat

I... don't think I want to hug a mug...

Andras Deak

@ShadowWizard he lost his hair...? No

Shadow Wizard

@AndrasDeak hahaha.... no... lol

Well, yes.... that's not the sad part.

So I take it that you do if you try trolling me again.

:D

Andras Deak

No, I only know that he's a bald man with the Israeli chocolate :)

Shadow Wizard

Well, TL;DR is that he lost the company he created in Israel and was left with no money whatsoever and with warrants forbidding him from ever trying again anything related to chocolate in Israel.

That's why he was forced to move to different countries.

All result of business partnership going bad. :(

Andras Deak

1:36 PM

Whoooah, I had no idea

Shadow Wizard

Now you have. :)

Andras Deak

what crime do you have to commit to be chocolate banned?!

Shadow Wizard

Dunno about details, they're probably not public too, but I guess each of the partners thought the other stole their ideas, and the other one won in court.

Andras Deak

:(

that sucks

Somewhat

anyway, curious if there's a voting initiative on TL or not, because Italian.SE and Expatriates.SE recently posted a meta discussion about that :S

(oops, gerrit is not a mod, so forget about TL...)

Shadow Wizard

timesofisrael.com/…

Turns out "only" 5 years, and not only Israel.

But it's over by now.

Andras Deak

that makes more sense

Shadow Wizard

Yep

> Eleven years later, after a long court battle, Brenner signed a non-compete agreement with the company, which precluded him from working on any chocolate-related endeavors. According to the legal agreement, he couldn’t even use the word “chocolate” in any of his professional pursuits.

Andras Deak

oh, I thought Max was his first name. TIL

Shadow Wizard

lol all do

Brenner is the bald guy. Max is the other. :D

Andras Deak

next you'll tell me that Stack Atwood and Joel Overflow founded SO

Something Bad Happened

There we go. The bastard ran away before the protests reached his coast.

Shadow Wizard

'X' unit??

As in "xxx" stuff? :/

Something Bad Happened

In his case "X" stands for "making seXual advances on candidates during job interviews".

He was an eXpert.

Shadow Wizard

heh

These days men must be either REALLY brave or REALLY stupid to do those things.

I mean... they know it will blow in their face. So I'll say they're just stupid.

Though I assume most #MeToo cases are meant for old cases that are buried and to bring late justice. Which is also good.

Captain Man

2:04 PM

This is a random question. I remember seeing a post on one of the metas about not calling "frame challenge" answers as such since many people don't know what that means. Does anyone know where that was? I can't remember if it was on SE Meta or one of the specific ones.

rene

I don't recall I ever saw the term on MSE

Magisch

@CaptainMan When an answer challenges the framing of a question

e.g "What stance should I use when torching my house with a flamethrower to exterminate spiders" being answered with "You should probably use some pesticide instead of torching your house"
