Gust is a flying type attack that is usually actualized by a feathered pokemon creating a gust of wind (sometimes containing feathers) depending on the version of pokemon and the animation

Oh I call that laser feathers

@Magisch I'm not sure where the Einstein came from, but as that co-worker always makes me go 'who else' I named him Nespresso :P

Ha I like this one

Q: Everyone is off line on SO

I asked this question which did not get any answers in a while. I need answers asap How can I get answers fast and why is noone online? or am I just fake news it is not the same as the other one

I need to check my meta.SE clan to see how many people are online

Maybe we can do raid someone's castle

@Tinkeringbell Well the Einstein label in my creation. You said he's a great thinker and spends most of the time alone. Well, only the second part.

1:06 PM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Was about to close that one as site-specific, but decided to be a bit "nicer" and close as dupe instead

Oh, yeah, that was it. He was used to working alone and not so good about working in a team

The interesting thing is, that question was posted only 30 minutes after the question it's referring to. How impatient.

@Tinkeringbell Is this situation applicable here?

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog but . . . but . . . the exam ends in 20

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ If their teacher doesn't take steps to make sure students aren't accessing the Internet during their exam, I'll be astonished.

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog Not really.

1:10 PM

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog Maybe the teacher is on a wheelchair and can't take steps

Rimshot

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Then they can get a TA

Also you're underestimating the ingenuity of students when it comes to slacking off

One of my professors allowed students to use computers during an exam, which was open-resource. They ran a script that kept scouring the web for code similar to expected answers to the questions, and ratted out people who asked on SO during exams.

> Rick was a very talented developer. He could solve complex business logic problems and create sophisticated architectures to support his lofty designs. But he could not solve the problem of how to work effectively on a team.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ that might get me another reversal badge

1:17 PM

@JourneymanGeek Huh, checked the badge FAQ and it seems like closed questions aren't excluded. But even if they were, you could just reopen the question, wait for the badge script to run, then re-close it.

@Tinkeringbell Does that paragraph (beginning with "Rick") apply though? 'Cause if so it might be worth reevaluating his role.

I'm not in a position to reevaluate his role. And I'm no snitch either.

He's just not great at working in a team, doesn't mean he needs to fired right away

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog naw

@Tinkeringbell Didn't say he needs to be removed; just that your team needs to have a discussion with him

I have like 12...

@JourneymanGeek Doesn't matter; they aren't excluded anyway.

1:21 PM

Type: spider - poor team attitude, mostly nocturnal with poor eyesight, but an excellent web designer and an invaluable companion as long as you don't invade his personal space?

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog also needs 9 more upvotes which is unlikely. And reopening to get a badge just isn't cricket

Without clicking on "Everyone is offline ..." it seems rather self-evident: 20+ people are not offline, thus "everyone" is not offline; there's simply a limit on the time spent with them, they ought to have asked about how that works instead.

@Rob also less popular tag, code dump...

@Rob they did specify "on SO" though, and the votes came from MSO.

No contradiction there.

s/(?<=MS)O/E/

I was a very similar person like that in high school. I was the lead coder for an autonomous robotics competition. In the end, my code ended up very convoluted because it was the result of fixes applied at each test run, and it wasn't very well understood by my teammates.

1:24 PM

Sometimes people come to Meta, or here, to vent or question their suspension.

questioning should probably be allowed if they keep their civility

Absolutely

venting toxic fumes is an EPA violation though.

Yesterday there was someone whom seemed quite civil about their week suspension. As soon as my avatar appeared in the lineup they were asking if I was the mod where they were suspended.

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog Had to follow a course some time ago. Never saw the professor once - 90% of the lessons where done by his assistant, the rest... videoconference.

1:28 PM

Well if you have a valid problem that you're willing to bring up assuming reasonably good intentions... Sure

Others and myself went on to speculate, based on what little we could see and what they told us, about the reasoning behind their suspension. So being polite doesn't mean you are not Sealioning.

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog At the exam, he came just to give us the exam papers, then left leaving us with the assistant .

some days later, we went to the campus board to see the exam results.

Many of us got a L.I.T. as the result.

@Rob .... Did they confuse you with other Rob, or did you get shanghaied into being a mod?

Turns out their mind-reading twin had used their computer without permission, thus they ought to have the suspension lifted.

Robception: They were Robbed

1:31 PM

Oh that

No, I don't impersonate the other Robs.

So, in a F instances

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog when asked what L.I.T. meant... the teacher said "Lost In Transit". He had the exams papers sent to him via snail mail. Some were lost. Those had to take the exam again thanks to HIS "error".

So, in a few instances- you can get a suspension reviewed with contact us

Robbery is more common than you think.

1:33 PM

You do probably need a great story though

to rob or not to rob, that is not rob's question about the other rob

My grandma's dog apparently hunted and brought back a coconut

'hunted'.

1:36 PM

I do wonder about domestic dogs sometimes

I'm sure his lupine ancestors would be proud. Or confused to what a coconut was

They've gone from fearsome hunter-companions employed for protection and assistance to basically just companions for companionship

This is a German Shepherd

He is a big sweetie

like a small terrier is probably getting cuddles every day and walked just for their benefit, not a real need to patrol the neighbourhood with your fearsome dog

The person should have said it was their coconut hunting dog.

1:38 PM

@Magisch actually terriers are pretty fearsome.

@Magisch when lucky. Otherwise, living doll toys to play with

please, notice the "Why are you doing this to me" eyes.

Corgis are amazingly badass

@JourneymanGeek When I see a terrier, my first instinct is to cuddle it

Even angry barking terriers are more cute then angry

@Magisch they're proper hunting dogs. Basically went into burrows to hunt things... Including Badgers

1:59 PM

I just want to woof for no reason

Woof

a small dog can also be called a puts on sunglasses subwoofer yeeeeeaah

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog I'm just now reading your comment; somehow I didn't get notified via email. I do have some subroutines to make this possible, but it's probably just easier to edit the post manually.

@Glorfindel this is somewhat funny because it reads as if you were an AI with subroutines

which of course fits the narrative :p

@Magisch another Turing test attempt foiled

2:41 PM

I am impressed. I go for 30 minutes and two downvote rants appear on meta.SO

Not to mention neither is aiming for a constructive discussion. Those are the worst rants

I'm talking quality stuff here. And from a guy that has more rep than my top two sites combined.

Let's run an experiment: Go for 30 years and we'll see what happens in the meantime.

I bet he gets another kidney

Or 10

@Alex cats and dogs living together.... Mass hysteria....

@JourneymanGeek Sounds like fun!

A new kidney every three years? He's gotten only one extra one in the past twenty or so, so either another one or two in the next thirty years

2:47 PM

Am I the only one who doesn't understand where all these additional kidneys are coming from?

@Alex So, you get yourself some kidney beans... then there's this whole ritual of sowing them under a full moon and growing them, adding potions and the blood of virgins and stuff... and then after a year or twenty... :P

His kidneys don't work, so he had to get another one, so now he has technically three

@Tinkeringbell Cool... does this ritual work for anything else besides kidneys?

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword in answer (86): Blogspot website not opening on Browser by user922636 on askubuntu.com

@Mithrandir Which explains how he'd get another 10...

2:50 PM

@Alex Hmmm. Perhaps, but adapting rituals is always a bit fickle. Before you know you've awoken something else :P

CTHULHU FTAGHN

I'm going to need a large budget and an R&D department :P

@Alex @M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ what are the chances of you getting more kidneys?

@Tinkeringbell And helpful coworkers?

Or at least bearable coworkers?

@Alex A few unhelpful ones are okay too, we need sacrifices :P

2:51 PM

I volunteer to be the unhelpful one.

Wait... I think I misunderstood that. I unvolunteer.

Too bad. You've already entered this contract now!!! Muhahaha

Do you need a knife?

A silver dagger :D

And I need an astronomer on the team, as I don't know enough about stars and stuff.

B-blood of the enemy... forcibly taken... you will... resurrect your foe.

I need a lab, preferably something with underground facilities and a church nearby

2:54 PM

You've got HDE...

Did someone unvolunteer to not to be the unhelpful one?

True! :D.

@Tinkeringbell Take your pick.

Do I need a facade? Some kind of company to make things look legal?

Meh. You're a parrot, who cares about legality?

2:55 PM

@Bookends No. I unvolunteered to be the unhelpful one.

@Alex Oooh! This person looks dresses appropriately for the job! :P

That said, I think I need to catch up the rest of the ~~fun~~ downvoted Friday meta posts...

@Mithrandir I don't want to end up in parrot jail ...

@Tinkeringbell Especially this part: ʎzɐɹɔ ʎןʇɥƃıןs

Parrots have jails?

2:57 PM

@Mithrandir Apparently? Or madhouses, your pick :P

@Mithrandir google.com/…

Welp.

THOSE ARE GREEN!

subtly shuffles out of the Tavern

ok time to stop the demonic zealots ritual with something even more fearsome

have fun.

2:59 PM

@Tinkeringbell Don't the green ones deserve to be in jail?

@Mithrandir You can't shuffle out of a tavern.

runs out of the Tavern because I'm out of time

@Mithrandir Yeah, kinda. You're right ;)

@Derpy You show no understanding of proper demonic zealous rituals. That's an addition to it, not something to stop it!

Wow. For some reason I thought that said "democratic zealots rituals".

@JourneymanGeek Why not?

Cause it's silly

@Mithrandir Legends of transplant manage to keep their kidneys for up to 30 years, so 1 or 2 more in the span of a lifetime

Really, it could stop working this very moment

But lifestyle can tinker with the probabilities, and that's what I should be doing
