@HTTPS Doesn't look related. Ana wants to move to an engineering position. More fun to be paid for working with code than for listening to internet arguments all day. Probably pays more, too.

user315433

Similar moves were made by... Rebecca Chernoff, Adam Lear, and Taryn. I might be forgetting someone.

Journeyman Geek

@SFTP yanno, some folk listen to internet arguments for free

user310756

@TelKitty yeh I noticed that. Clearly some of us on the site didn't have enough Oompf when trying to get help on meta. Kinda annoys me

user310756

And I have to say - April makes a point - Joel has completely ignored me

user310756

@SFTP yep that would be better

user310756

1:17 PM

@TelKitty Cleo just stuck her nose in the window for a pat

user315433

Joel's approach is to post and not engage with responses.

user315433

(See also: Take a Stand)

user315433

Which may be frustrating etc, but saves time on his end, for sure.

user315433

Also avoids getting into a rabbit hole and saying way too much (see: Jeff).

user202362

Rofl, watching Jeff burying himself in a pile of sand was fun ... like he's trying to get out of it, but the more he tries, the deeper he buries himself

poor jeff

Journeyman Geek

@YvetteColomb or sometimes you just don't have the spoons or inclination to engage

and in a practical sense - you can't really win all the arguements that's sparked off - you pick the stuff that needs fixing, and try to fix them with the people in the community - not the folks who're standing outside throwing fruit.

So a lot of the time, listening and thinking seems better than well...

(I'm kinda vaguely baffled (my fault?) and sad by all this)

user315433

cv pls issues in my project

user202362

@YvetteColomb Cleo can be naughty :p

user202362

and very sweet/cheeky sometimes

Journeyman Geek

@YvetteColomb a pony bit me once ;p

@SFTP sigh today is a bumper day for people who are lost

The reason why I avoid social network was partially because once I was on one (linkedin), I did my normal 1337 trolling and ended up with head hunters calling me to stalk instead of sincerely offering me jobs and that scarred me a bit - there were a couple of them and one called me for years. And thank god I had tough, durable skin.

Journeyman Geek

Outside chat, SE is hardly social.

user202362

I social with @Yvette's horses ... and herself :p

Shadow Wizard

@TelKitty sounds interesting

@JourneymanGeek mod power, no?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard pretty sure anyone can do that

one moment, let me try my alt

Shadow Wizard

> However, a 2008 study concluded that, due to the extensive consumption of peanuts by infants in Israel, peanut allergy is rare. A control group of Jewish children in the UK had ten times higher rates of allergy; the difference is not accounted for by differences in atopy, social class, genetic background, or peanut allergenicity

Late bloomer.... ;)

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek what about it?

Journeyman Geek

I think @πάνταῥεῖ is globally chat banned cause his chat.se parent is SO

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek weird, chat.SE should be on totally different domain than chat.SO

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard but you need to be able to have SO as a parent for reasons - but its kinda...

OH

user202362

Shadow Wizard

1:47 PM

but how is this related to the invites? That's what I was referring to earlier. :) @Journeyman

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard oh

ANyone can invite?

the only things different are the graphs (oops) and the mod tools button

Shadow Wizard

but I don't think we can't see how many invites a user sent

Journeyman Geek

ohhhh

I guess so

shrug

I forgot mods had additional stuff there ;p

Shadow Wizard

yup

Journeyman Geek

can't you see that on your own account?

Shadow Wizard

1:49 PM

Don't remember ever seeing it, let me test it on you...

nope, don't see any such thing after inviting you to the Den. :D

Journeyman Geek

ah

user310756

@JourneymanGeek true true - wise as always dear Ash :)

Journeyman Geek

I guess its a mod thing

user310756

@TelKitty and we miss you dreadfully xoxox

user202362

<3 u n your crew

user310756

1:52 PM

@SFTP I meant Jeff

user310756

too many Js lol

user310756

@TelKitty I want to get out and snuggle my horses lol

user202362

seriously thinking of going camping with you for a night next week

user202362

needs planning though coz 5 hours return drive

user310756

@TelKitty she's pushy, but she's a good girl, she looks after her herd. I'm very proud of her and tell her that regularly

user310756

1:54 PM

@TelKitty hope so

user310756

I didn't bring a mattress this time. sitting in the drivers seat with pillow

Journeyman Geek

@YvetteColomb Jeff used to be super hands in the early days

user202362

@YvetteColomb thought you would have a semi permanent tent by now

user310756

@TelKitty nope sleep in my car

user310756

it's a wagon

user310756

1:56 PM

I sold my other car

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yeah in those days there were no discussions or data research taking months and years. Jeff simply decided and acted upon it whenever he wanted. Good or bad? Can't really know.

user202362

are you doing this every night?

user202362

or just occasionally?

user202362

wagon can be comfy to sleep in though

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard also the network was a lot smaller

user310756

1:57 PM

@TelKitty every night

user310756

bloody dogs

user202362

car is safer than tent

user310756

when she gives birth she will need to lie down

user310756

yes exactly

user310756

safer

user202362

1:58 PM

why not get a shed ... from bunnings say

user310756

I hope they don't come here - we are at the front of the property and I have lights set up - sensor lights and other random lights - so that should scare them off. As a general rule - they won't knowingly go somewhere htey know a person is on patrol

user310756

I spent $1800 on a fence! that is not dog proof

user310756

I can't leave my dogs here

user310756

sersiouly - it upsets me

user310756

it's not my property

Journeyman Geek

1:59 PM

:(

user310756

I'm not throwing more money at it

user310756

I have a dog that is bred to kill wolves. When he is a little older, the wild dogs will not stand a chance

user202362

some shed can be moved around

user202362

and not too expensive

user310756

they need to be put up and in this case, attached to the cattle yard. besides it doesn't solve anything - for it to be big enough to be purposeful you need council approval

user202362

2:02 PM

true

user310756

and the $$ do add up - particularly cos you need flooring

user310756

using treated sleepers even adds up
