Tavern on the Meta

@rene Hey! I was born in 78!

:D

@SonictheWizardWerehog nice... reminds me of the good days in aspfree forums, a decade ago. :)

"Internal 911" LOL, people are seriously running out of names for products

@ShadowWizard That's obviously why he moved only 78 messages

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ ?

7:26 AM

@ShadowWizard newest meta.SE spam

Apparently it was some kinda weight loss pill or something

@ShadowWizard Should I make fun of you for being old, or young?

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ ohh

> Internal 911 Colon Cleanse Detox Supplement

So a laxative? Haha

Yup

That help lose weight

@Alex try "haha ur fossilized, old kiddo"

7:28 AM

@Alex depends when you were born.... ;)

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Fossils are usually dead, no?

@ShadowWizard or gain, depending on the person

Living fossil

A living fossil is an extant taxon that closely resembles organisms otherwise known only from the fossil record. To be considered a living fossil, the fossil species must be old relative to the time of origin of the extant clade. Living fossils commonly are species-poor lineages, but they need not be. Living fossils exhibit stasis over geologically long time scales. Popular literature may wrongly claim that a "living fossil" has undergone no significant evolution since fossil times, with practically no molecular evolution or morphological changes. Scientific investigations have repeatedly discredited...

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I don't think that means that they're alive.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ waste has a mass, that's a fact. So have it removed, and you lose weight. ;)

oops loool

@ShadowWizard Or get hungrier and eat more to make up for it

@Alex are you assuming their life status?

7:33 AM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I have enough trouble assuming my own.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ why hungry? The food has already been processed, you take away only the waste that would have gone by itself anyway 6-8 hours later. :D

7:53 AM

@ShadowWizard you're old ;)

@rene you're not pingable in Den! ;)

8:15 AM

@ShadowWizard The way these drugs are supposed to work actually is by getting the body to throw out the food before absorbing all of its fat and carbs

But eh, if they were half as effective as other human inventions, obesity rates would have diminished

Also the fact that people tend to take them as an excuse to run away from their obesity than a way to help 'fix' it doesn't help it

8:30 AM

There is no math section here. You're in the wrong site. If you mean math site of Stack Exchange, I doubt homework questions are on topic there, better check their help center before posting the question. — Shadow Wizard 28 mins ago

@Sha actually

Shaymin

Achtachuahlly...

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ oh. Too bad!

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ ?

@ShadowWizard not a math.SE regular but my impression is they're way too lenient on homework compared to other SEs

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ well that's up to OP to check

Kinda understandable, considering it's much harder to tell them apart without context

> As one of those elements of the community who I consider to be 'bad' your opinion isn't really worth anything to me.

Talk about starting from a conclusion and working backwards...

wow

spammer for three years

@JNat cross site spammer, for your handle care. Exists for years this time.

lol they're suspended on SO already.

@ShadowWizard veteran spammer

With an eye-patch

And a sexy scar

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ silver badge?

Feeds

It's early 2020. The entire country is gripped with Marco Rubio fever except for Alaska, which is freaking out. You're frantically studying up on etiquette and/or sexting.

@Feeds so many whales

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ whatever floats your boat! :P

9:49 AM

@Magisch nom nom where is teh drama?

I love how if you respond to that by pointing out why it's a fallacy they'd get even more triggered

@ShadowWizard Did you see those pictures of that guy that got 'eaten' by a whale? :P

Link: livescience.com/64969-whale-almost-swallows-man.html

@Tinkeringbell Isn't that like a Tom & Jerry scene where Jerry shoves something into Tom's throat?

Probably, but scarier?

Considering most whales' diet, I wonder what could possibly make them crave for something as big as a man

@Tinkeringbell lol!

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ maybe if he stink like a fish?

9:55 AM

@ShadowWizard I don't think they smell food all that much

Just take it in by the tons

But if the food is actually in big chunks, their sensitive digestive tube could be in real trouble

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I think they said it was probably accidental, also proven by the fact that the guy wasn't swallowed

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, my point

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ so you say Jonah wasn't real? :(

10:16 AM

@ShadowWizard Who said that was a whale? I always heard it was a monster

Or a big fish. No one ever said it was a whale ;)

10:31 AM

@Tinkeringbell hehe, turns out you know Judaism better than me! lol

> Although the word "whale" is often used in English versions of the Jonah story, the Hebrew text actually uses the phrase dag gadol, which means "giant fish". In the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the species of the fish that swallowed Jonah was the subject of speculation for naturalists, who interpreted the story as an account of a historical incident.

@ShadowWizard He, there's a pretty big overlap in the Old Testament ;)

@Tinkeringbell overlap?

@ShadowWizard Between Christianity and Judaism ;)

I was raised well... with a good amount of 'fear the devil'.

oh

@ShadowWizard Yep, pretty much that ;)

Magisch

10:47 AM

@Tinkeringbell If you ever want to annoy your parents you can join the church of satan

@Magisch Oh, I'm already annoying them plenty enough.

12:03 PM

@Tinkeringbell doing it more is a sure recipe to be kicked out of the house.... ;)

So since @Magi suggested it, move to live with him..... :P

You're both in Europe, so close enough to work. No? :D

plz-delete batch of three (!): automation, Layer 3, Wordpress @rene @Bart @TravisJ

@ShadowWizard Nah, too far away

@ShadowWizard All gone

@Tinkeringbell thanks! You're the local JNat! :D

No I'm not. I'm me.

Nobody is me.

Except for @MEE

But two me becomes meme!

12:50 PM

Hello @Josh and welcome to the Tavern! :D

@ShadowWizard You forgot "This is an automated system message."

@ShadowWizard If I was simply ignorant I would have said so

I don't think the depiction of the big fish in that story is that of a hunchback whale

Some have hypothesized that it might have been a sperm whale

1:12 PM

@ShadowWizard Thanks for the warm welcome =P

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I skipped whale lessons in school... for me whale is a whale. :D

@JoshDarnell sure thing! I see Josh 2.0 is playing the organ already.... :P

Your brother also renamed?

hmm... don't think that's him... ?

Poke him with sharp stick and drag him back to SE!!! ;)

So, what triggered the major name change? @Jos

@jad sounded better.... lol

heh, people don't look at bounty reason, or question age... stackoverflow.com/questions/17993471/… lol

1:38 PM

@ShadowWizard It's easier to say than "jadarnel27" haha.

But really, I'm blogging now, and trying to get into speaking on tech topics, and thought it would be helpful if I had a more human-readable name out on the interwebz.

1:49 PM

@JoshDarnell late ~~bloomer~~ blogger.... kudos! :D

Haha thanks.

@JoshDarnell scratches head I always read that as 'jardanel27'
