I just found a site selling some kind of powerful flash light. It's measuring the color temperature at 3400°K and this is really triggering me (Kelvin is an absolute measure so it's never measured in degrees). I wonder if I should email them.
I also wonder if it would do any good.
Probably not, since they already call everything "military-grade" and "aircraft-grade".
Why do people sometimes spam with just random letters?
Like "asdlfisajdofisa" as an answer? It makes no sense.
It doesn't seem like they're trying to be edgy trolls, and they obviously aren't selling something. Are they just trying to see if it's possible to post or something?

@Mithrandir Looks great, big improvement, you're ready for the Photo of the Week Contest. I would suggest leaving out the bird Rock though. The image is plenty big enough to crop to the upper right.
a) they have already bought them, so it is not like they have much to do with them.
b) shipment already started, so probably they wouldn't be able to recover any "delivery fee"
basically, I think that there is little they can gain by trying to fix the error.
@Magisch I assume they will be in the same price range as the cheese board, maybe a little more. I try to not look into prices to much since it is still a free gift.
One watch for each arm. When someone tries the 'spill your drink' trick (ask you for the time, while you are holding a drink) you can fool them by looking at the other watch jealous.
@Rob I know - the sparkshop link doesn't seem to work right now. As I said, I found that watch on another site but apparently it is made by "Watch Creations"
...and they still think I'm coming to the summons this Thursday, but I can't, and they messed me up by giving me a date in May and then moving it to February
so I thought I had time to get e.g. med stuff in order but...
Personal rant: any army that expects 16 year olds to join and 18 year olds to run stuff has lost their mind.
My freak out is about Nespresso....
4 emails, 10 skype messages (despite the politest 'f-off, I'm on another team now, if you need me here's scrum master e-mail, ask them to make time')....
He's now sort of Skype rubberducking at me? I'm getting messages like 'found it', 'I'm starting to understand what went wrong + lengthy explanations'.... I'm going to mute him for now.
@Mithrandir So the process takes about 2 years to complete?
I guess I'm being a bit too harsh on him. He's a good developer, makes his deadlines, knows an amazing amount about the language we're working in... He's just used to doing stuff his own way and not good at working in teams (or working with multiple teams on the same thing).
@JourneymanGeek Mine wasn't there at all, until someone decided to complain about gender equality. Now there technically is a draft for women aged 17-45 as well, meaning that if some ... nasty person ... decides to start a war I'll have to go to war as well.
@Magisch When you consider that there's been a threat of war for a while, and several wars in recent history, and constant military action, then it kinda makes sense. I just... don't like it
That's called first-strike and is not a good way to avoid war.
@ArtOfCode No power plant I know of would be vulnerable to that (unless you have physical access). They have extremely strict controls (air gapping etc).
Now, destroying hydroelectric plants, on the other hand...
E.g. it's not cybersecurity, it's information security. It's not cyberwarfare, it's electronic warfare. The term cyber should have never survived past the 90s.
But at least the good thing about mandatory conscription is that the army will include plenty of people who won't think twice about stabbing their own country in the back.
That's something I can totally get behind, at least in war.
I think I turn from a libertarian to an anarchist when I'm high.
Are there some other sites where community bulletin went missing, or is this specific only for MathOverflow? I have just posted a bug report on MathOverflow Meta. I tried a few other sites - but I did not notice a site where it is missing.
@Martin I don't know... I can't see it on MO, but I also don't have an account there (would that matter?)... it looks fine on the few other sites I visit sometimes.
I think that CB is shown only to users who are logged in. At least when I try some site where I can still see it, after I display it as an anonymous user (in incognito mode) it is no longer shown.
The question On convexity tags was definitely shown there yesterday and I think it is eligible.
It is tagged (discussion), it is less than two weeks old and it has score well above 3.
@ShadowWizard As Tinkeringbell says, CB is not shown when there are no items to display. This might be case for some small sites. (But AFAICT it is not the case here.)
@forest should I remember you about the "smart talking doll" incident from some time ago? A doll with an app that could be used to have the doll speak custom lines? And the app was totally insecure and without any form of authentication?
No, at this point it looks like someone in Microsoft said "OK, let's have a feedback forum" and someone else said "I know this site, they can make it for cheap price" and that was it. And of course nobody bothered to review the product while or after it was done. lol
