tumbleweed passing through

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, I made it to the office ;)

Shadow Wizard

Dang... missed two coffees due to blood test. Should I drink three in a row now to compensate? ;)

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@ShadowWizard Try boba tea

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell did you show them your new diamond? :D

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog old habits die hard.. I do have a good tea in office, it's just.. well... not coffee. :)

Tinkeringbell

8:05 AM

@ShadowWizard Heh. Not many people are interested in diamonds here. I don't think many people even know about SO, let alone the rest of the network ;)

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell but if they have girlfriends or married, they can have good use for a diamond.... :P

I bought a good one when proposing. ;)

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@ShadowWizard I thought diamonds were for the sole use of the account holder?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard diamonds are a girl's best friend. Occasionally at the tip of a drill :p

Shadow Wizard

Think it was clarity level of I or something? Don't remember full details. Just the price. o_O

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog It's a joke

Shadow Wizard

8:06 AM

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog of course not! :D

@JourneymanGeek shhhh let me keep it little longer... ;)

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard or one, 3x the size.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek I'm referring to an internal bias that may have crept in there

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard I am still waiting for a diamond ring :P Over three years now XD

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek good idea... but the only container big enough is the SO mug... and it has shekels in it. :(

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

These kinds of things just glare at me.

Journeyman Geek

8:07 AM

@Tinkeringbell oooh? :p

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek well, I bought only one for my gf/wife. :)

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog then glare back

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek Hurts my eyes ;)

Journeyman Geek

But do remember that not everyone is literal

Magisch

@Tinkeringbell eh, diamond rings are unethical and uneconomical

Tinkeringbell

8:09 AM

@JourneymanGeek When I started programming, I used my first salary to buy a set of jewelry. I had a cheap ring that I really liked, so I asked the lady if she could custom make one for me in rose gold and with a real diamond. She said she could, but never finished it :P

Journeyman Geek

Ahhh alas

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell you know you can... take the first step... or last step... mumble ;)

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Oh, I did call on the jewelry shop a few times to ask if it was ready XD

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch pfft. Also carbon

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell ohhh thought you meant a secret bf you never told about! :P

Tinkeringbell

8:10 AM

@ShadowWizard Nah. If there ever will be a bf I'll most likely be so excited I can't shut up :P

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell we have a few places that do custom work my mom knows. Thankfully reliable.

Magisch

@JourneymanGeek I'm serious btw, anyone buying actual non-artificial diamonds is contributing to one of the worst human rights abuses currently ongoing

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek Would she fly to Singapore to get one?

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell will be glad to hear! :D

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Of course you will :P You're worse than a gossipy great-aunt! XD

Shadow Wizard

8:11 AM

@Magisch just don't let something bad happen to you over this... not worth it.

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch ah. I think I know what you mean.

Shadow Wizard

world is bad. We know it. We can't fix it.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard you can be aware and take a stand

@Magisch some stuff's inherited though

Magisch

Not buying diamonds is extremely easy and doesn't have any negative consequences

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek and ruin your life over this? Nah... not my cup of ~~tea~~ coffee. :)

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

8:12 AM

Well...I'm ace, so I'm not willingly participating in activities that might require me to hand diamonds to others.

@Magisch How about pencils?

Magisch

@JourneymanGeek hence qualifying with "Buying" instead of "owning"

Shadow Wizard

@Magisch same can be said about not eating meat... not drinking milk... not driving a car... and 10000 other things.

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch oh agreed there

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@Magisch Secondhand purchases, though?

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch I was assured the one I'd buy wouldn't be a blood diamond ;)

Shadow Wizard

8:13 AM

Such promise is moot and useless. Really.

Mithrandir

those bloody diamonds

Magisch

@ShadowWizard yes but all of those incur significant inconvenience on you to take a stand on

not buying diamonds is free

Shadow Wizard

We can't know where a diamond came from.

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch actually even a lot of legit mines have poor pay and working conditions

Magisch

in fact, it actively saves you moneys

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

8:14 AM

If you want to be a proud owner of carbon, no need to wear a diamond on your finger. Just carry a pencil in a shirt pocket.

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch despite the stigma... I think the idea of artificial ones is cool tho

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

It'll have the same effect in terms of embellishments.

Shadow Wizard

@Magisch what about China? It's said employees there are also slaves in horrible conditions. So we should not buy anything made in China?

and Amazon is even worse.

Journeyman Geek

Man took a lump of coal, then pressure-cooked it ..

Magisch

@ShadowWizard Again, if it doesn't inconvenience you at all to be ethical in your purchases, then sure why not

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

8:15 AM

@JourneymanGeek He got on Santa's naughty list?

Journeyman Geek

When that fat man gives you coal... Turn it into diamonds.

Magisch

or don't, coal is quite useful on its own, just look at charcoal

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch amusingly I assumed the same as @ShadowWizard

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@Magisch Yep, produced an excellent spam-fighting bot.

Shadow Wizard

@Magisch my point is that if I'll start thinking about those things, I'll have to stop buying everything, stop driving (it pollute the world) and stop using technology since electricity also cause pollution.

Journeyman Geek

8:16 AM

@Magisch hah... There's a few odd products

Magisch

@ShadowWizard or ... you can do as much as you reasonably can without changing your life too much

Shadow Wizard

So... living in a cave and living on water and maybe some fruits. :)

Journeyman Geek

Apparently coconut husk makes the best charcoal for filtering

Shadow Wizard

@Magisch so what's the point? Why stop with only this? It's pointless if not done "to the end", IMO.

Magisch

reduce unnecessary driving, reduce food waste, maybe buy food in season locally rather then imported (not always feasible). For non-necessary purchases maybe spend a small amount of time on ensuring it's ethically sourced

Journeyman Geek

8:18 AM

@ShadowWizard actually there's a broader point with diamonds

Magisch

You can't be perfect of course, but a difference is a difference

Journeyman Geek

It's one of the last few monopolies and supply is controlled

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch I have one thing that really annoys me when I see people ask for that... and that's that they're putting the responsibility on consumers to consume less, instead of on producers to produce better :/

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell ya

Magisch

@Tinkeringbell It is a two edged sword. Producers only really produce what consumers consume

Journeyman Geek

8:19 AM

Make fixable stuff at least an option

Magisch

And the only way the average person can influence a market is with their purchases

I have no power over what my grocery store orders and sells, but I have power over what I buy. If I don't buy imported out of season vegetables, and a bunch of other people also don't, whoever does the stocking of the grocery store will naturally by virtue of not wanting to buy vegetables nobody will eat, stock less of the out of season stuff

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch most stuff here is imported cause it's an island ._.

Tinkeringbell

Sure, but that also requires a.) a bunch of other people and b.) a store owner willing to change what they stock. I've seen b gone wrong a lot. :/

So, I'm not as optimistic when it comes to 'if people don't buy it, it won't get stocked'

Journeyman Geek

But we usually get stuff like that from small stores with smaller stock and higher turnover

Tinkeringbell

In reality, stuff gets stocked, people buy it because there's no alternatives, and if people stop buying it because they lose interest or whatever, it goes on sale and still gets sold.

Just take a look at e.g. women's clothing stores.

Everything in there is short sleeved, see-through thin and required 5 layers to stay warm. Yet stores don't stock sweaters, so people buy that crap :/

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

8:26 AM

A politician once used their political influence to coerce a commercial airline to keep an unprofitable route in operation, despite little people buying tickets.

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Link at end of answer (60): html теги и атрибуты, jsoup by А Б on ru.stackoverflow.com

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

So yes, low demand doesn't necessarily mean that it's not stocked anymore.

Magisch

@Tinkeringbell If nobody buys it and the store owner continues stocking it, the store will eventually close

literally the only thing you can count on mattering is money. The only way companies will abandon profitable but unethical business practices is if consumers make them unprofitable

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch True, but then we're back at a. There's many people buying stuff just because they need something, and that's the only option available.

The times I went to shop for winter clothes and came home with anything but a warm sweater can't be counted on one hand.

Magisch

I don't disagree

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

8:35 AM

@Magisch But in the above case, that airline kept running an unprofitable route at the behest of a politician, despite little consumer demand

Magisch

my original argument was that nobody needs diamonds

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog The airline calculated the blowback or regulatory exposure from not running the route would cost them more then just running it

Mithrandir

@Magisch Are you saying I'm unnecessary?!

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch Perhaps not ;) Well, then rest assured I never got mine :P

Magisch

@Mithrandir well you aren't your diamond are you

or am I talking to compressed carbon?

Mithrandir

You don't know what they do to you. You don't know, man. You can't know.

Tinkeringbell

8:42 AM

Uhoh... Mith has reached a breaking point. Pass the ductape!

Mithrandir

Mmmmm! Mmm mm!

Shadow Wizard

@Tink hurry, join your diamond with @Mith's to prevent it from breaking! :D

Mithrandir24601

Journeyman Geek

8:52 AM

@Magisch actually if you think about it -a perfect mod dosen't need their powers

:p

We evolve from relying on then to slowly needing them less and less

As a newbie RO here an essential step was winning the trust and respect of other users. On SU chat, I could probably drop my diamond and handle things mostly the same

Ugh. Don't mind me lol. Bored and drinking terrible cofee

Tinkeringbell

Meh.

Really quiet now, not much to keep me entertained.

Journeyman Geek

Which comes back to not really needing your powers

Magisch

IPS lost a lion share of it's traffic, even more comments, a lion share of answers and votes

so the mods probably aren't as busy now

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch That, and there seems to be less discussion about answers, answer quality, question quality, scope...

Journeyman Geek

And don't forget, as an elected mod - I've already won the popularity contest and I had experience + other mods to guide me. Beta modding is harder

Magisch

@Tinkeringbell I think there are just dramatically fewer active users in general

@Magisch hopefully it will recover

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch I actually think some core users stayed. The ones that seem gone were the ones that were prolific answerers, but that you didn't see much on meta or chat?

Shadow Wizard

@JohnDvorak M

@JourneymanGeek why on earth are you drinking army coffee?! :D

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard I was curious. Also wondering if enough sugar makes it drinkable

Shadow Wizard

but to be honest, it is effective. One pitcher full with turkish coffee kept me awake full nights without sleep during army. (drills or guard patrols)

Journeyman Geek

9:17 AM

Oh sadly that is not something we copied from you

This is local coffee, made in a sock

Shadow Wizard

nah, no sock for us. Finjan. I think.

Let's see how it translates...

Journeyman Geek

(nylon strainer)

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek A sock? Gross!

Journeyman Geek

Coffee needs a little while to give up it's flavor

Shadow Wizard

Tinkeringbell

9:19 AM

Don't worry. You'll survive :P

Journeyman Geek

ineedcoffee.com/brewing-coffee-coffee-sock

Magisch

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, but we kinda needed those

Shadow Wizard

I thought the word פינג'ן in Hebrew (Finjan) means a small pitcher with which we make turkish coffee. It's not!! Turns out ג'זווה is the actual word! /cc @Mithrandir

Cezve

A cezve is a small long-handled pot with a pouring lip designed specifically to make Turkish coffee. It is traditionally made of brass or copper, occasionally also silver or gold. In more recent times cezveler are also made from stainless steel, aluminium, or ceramics. == Name == The name cezve is of Turkish origin, where it is a borrowing from Arabic: جذوة‎ (jadhwa). Other regional variations of the word cezve are jezve, čezve, and xhezve. In Ukrainian and Russian the word is spelled джезва (where it exists alongside турка, IPA: [ˈturkə]). In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia...

We used those in army, brought from home of course ^

Mithrandir

*shrugs* I've never heard of either of those words

Shadow Wizard

@Mithrandir you never heard the word פינג'ן? Hmm... well thinking about it maybe I've heard it only in army too.

Mithrandir

9:22 AM

(re-insert shrug)

Shadow Wizard

Or my brother's army which was 7 years before my own. :)

@JourneymanGeek is it turkish coffee? Or filter?

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch I dunno. Yes, we can use good answers. Do we need people that answer everything? I'm not so sure.

@ShadowWizard neither

@Derpy ahhhh

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek for me it is. Tried dozens in USA, Canada, Spain, and Greece. ALL were just terrible for me. Maybe because I'm used to instant or Turkish coffee. :)

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard that ain't filter coffee

Derpy

@JourneymanGeek I heard that wool and knitting is the theme this year. Supposedly, @Tinkeringbell offered to make some hand-made wool sweaters for the swag prizes

@JourneymanGeek it's a coffee made with a filter... ;)

Or... We need to hunt sheep instead of chickens....

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Duh. That cloth probably weighed as much as the entire parrot XD

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek huh. Never tried this one... when I come to visit, will you make me this coffee? ;)

@Tinkeringbell lol... probably!

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard my mom would be offended if we did not

Shadow Wizard

It was during some really cold winter we had, it even reached 0 degrees and almost snowed.

Many trees died from the cold. :(

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard it even reached 0 degrees doesn't sound to bad XD

We had a week with temps close to -15 last winter

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell for a place used to 10 degrees as the minimum? :)

@ShadowWizard I'm coming over soon :P

What's the max in summer?

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek :-)

@Tinkeringbell o_o

@Tinkeringbell my area or Israel in general?

My area "only" 40, whole Israel 48 and even 50. (Eilat)

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Let's do general. But pick the most moderate spot, I don't like too hot XD

@ShadowWizard Ugh, that's too hot. Okay, bird migration it'll be.

Shadow Wizard

But average is around 30, in general. :)

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Still too hot. I like 25 ;)

Mithrandir

Up here it's usually nice...

Shadow Wizard

9:36 AM

@Tinkeringbell oh, maybe in the north of Israel where it's higher than ground level. :)

(Galil, probably there's Wiki)

Mithrandir

Or the Golan, where I am ;)

Shadow Wizard

Galilee

Galilee (Hebrew: הגליל‎, transliteration HaGalil); (Arabic: الجليل‎, translit. al-Jalīl) is a region in northern Israel. The term Galilee traditionally refers to the mountainous part, divided into Upper Galilee (Hebrew: גליל עליון‎ Galil Elyon) and Lower Galilee (Hebrew: גליל תחתון‎ Galil Tahton). In the modern common usage, Galilee refers to all of the area that is beyond Mount Carmel to the northeast, extending from Dan to the north, at the base of Mount Hermon, along Mount Lebanon to the ridges of Mount Carmel and Mount Gilboa north of Jenin to the south, and from the Jordan Rift Valley to...

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard But those are more likely to have cold winters?

Shadow Wizard

@Mithrandir until @Tink will arrive... good chance we won't have it anymore... :(

Mithrandir

define "cold"

No way, Israel's not giving the Golan back

Tinkeringbell

9:37 AM

@Mithrandir Anything under 20

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell hmm.. well, yeah.. it reach below 0 there.

Mithrandir

That's a very narrow definition...

Tinkeringbell

@Mithrandir I know. I'm picky...

Mithrandir

It's 18 now.

I'm not at all supporting this, just saying it can happen.

Derpy

@ShadowWizard I can live with a "copied concept". That is not new in books.... Eragon is basically "fantasy Star Wars with dragons", and yet that is not its greater flaw (being boring and filler-filled is probably worse...)

The minions instead are a full plagiarism copy of a similar character, then rewritten into a constant source of "toilet/uncouth " humor

Hey, a lego thingy

Derpy

@Tinkeringbell Nope. I don't like plagiarized Servbot.

Tinkeringbell

@Derpy But Servbot looks like plagiarized lego?

Derpy

9:52 AM

@Tinkeringbell that is on purpose, I think it started with a joke about Rockman Dash development, someone said Rockman looked like lego.

the point is not the design

the thing that bugs me is that they basically took the servbot - which even in the original source are the assistants / workforce of a self proclaimed super evil trio, changed them a little while keeping them very recognizable (same color pattern, same purpose etc)

And then turned them into a source of somehow vulgar jokes.

But yep, that is one thing that always gets my nerve

Tinkeringbell

@Derpy How are banana's vulgar? :P

I personally think there's likely to be enough differences (or there would've been a court case already)

Derpy

@Tinkeringbell like I said, that's just my personal view, and I try to not force anyone into buying it. That said. if a court case wasn't made for Disney's Atlantis, I can't see how this could deserve one...

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard If there's one thing I was bad at, it was remembering what teachers looked like.

@Tinkeringbell hehe. :D

Don't get me wrong, but while I understand that mith surrey didn't mean to give that message, pages like that one seem to have a passive-aggressive feeling to them
