Morning!

Morning!

Any damage due to last night?

Tinkeringbell

@rene My faith in meteorologists

rene

lol

Tinkeringbell

7:00 AM

Everything over there survive too?

rene

yeah, nothing happened really. At most it rained cats and dogs for 15 minutes or so, with some wind picking up. Nothing too serious.

Tinkeringbell

I didn't hear or see any bad weather.

I know it rained because there's a pool of water on the bikeshed roof...

But that's about it.

I have a question regarding languages and their prevalence in the 19th century. Where would be the best place to ask this question?

rene

@hohenheim maybe history.se?

Erik A

Was about to answer the same. They have a language tag with the excerpt Questions on historical use of languages and their development. Be sure to check their help section first though.

rene

@hohenheim or linguistics.se linguistics.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic

@ErikA yep, their help / on-topic states something similar.

Q: Why was this comment flag on a rude comment declined?

I raised a harassment, bigotry, or abuse flag in a, now deleted, comment in this question with the following content: sir i dont care if you believe me or not?! im not here to improve my self to you, second thing if you read my comment well you know its copy past, third thing if you want to a...

Dude. Am I missing something? What's wrong with that comment?

BTW, I like that meta.SO hasn't lost its touch

People still ask for downvote comments.

@rene because of the aggressive (as in it happens a lot. Not as in "moderating while angry") moderation that keeps quality high and Stack's standard pur.......... OOOOOH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE — Patrice 1 min ago

spoiler ...

Marshmallow

@rene Point being, careful around Canadians. They always see what you did there.

I did too. Don't do that thing.

rene

Noted

Marshmallow

Well, that one got boring too fast. The OP was not frustrated enough.

rene

Marshmallow

@rene It wasn't outrageous either. They didn't invoke the blog post. Or that other blog post.

Or the other one with soup. The soup one was articulate and well-reasoned though.

I missed the tweet that Usenet has died.

Where could one check their age, again? I forgot whether I'm 20 or 21

rene

@Marshmallow SE api

Tinkeringbell

@Marshmallow It's 2019 minus your year of birth and then minus a year if you haven't had a birthday yet this year :)

Marshmallow

@rene Whoa, I'm pretty sure there was a way for muggles.

@Tinkeringbell nervously accepting the proposed formula

Hmm, I'm 20.

The problem arises when people have conflicting definitions. 19.5 is 19 for some and 20 for others. I don't understand that 20 group.

Tinkeringbell

@Marshmallow It's pretty easy: You'll be almost 20 if people are mad at you :P You'll be only 19 if people are trying to smooth over something for you ;)

Marshmallow

And 'kid' if they don't know how to counter my argument. Ugh.

Grown-ups.

Mith can relate. Except he's usually wrong in arguments I bet.

Magisch

6:17 PM

@Tinkeringbell or the other way around, depending in which way you're self conscious about it

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch Hmm... never had anyone do the other way around :)

I guess they figured out my weak spot :(

Magisch

they're just parroting

<punofquestionablequality/>

Bart

6:34 PM

Shameful ... I leave you guys alone for a while, and this is the level of the puns?

Marshmallow

@Bart we're not the ones neglecting

Bart

I didn't neglect. I trusted you guys could do fine on your own. But apparently that's not the case.

rene

In my defense: it got all blurry without glasses ...

Bart

Even blurrier than normal?

rene

I might call it misty

if that is a word

Bart

6:57 PM

Sure is

Tinkeringbell

7:19 PM

@Magisch You were saying? I'm sorry, I was busy parrotting :P

Bart

That parrot has seen some sh*t

Tinkeringbell

@Bart I had to stage an offscreen explosion to get it to look that way. But my explosions suck, so I didn't include it in the picture :P

Bart

XD Very cool though. Do you work from patterns for those things, or just freehand it (I have no idea how that works)?

Tinkeringbell

@Bart I mostly use patterns. I only rarely freehand stuff.

I've freehanded these

Though I don't know if that still counts as freehanding, because I made notes after the first pair and now it's just a pattern too :P

And they're based on examples

Bart

Counts for me. I have difficulty lacing my shoes, and you just make those appear out of thin air (and thread ... ) Magic!!

Tinkeringbell

7:25 PM

Other things I freehanded (looong ago): 1, 2, 3

Again, the last one is based on a picture...

Bart

3 is hilarious :D

Tinkeringbell

@Bart I also made a really, really really bad pikachu cell phone cover for my brother, but I can't find any pictures to share. which is probably a good thing ;)

It was just plain yellow with black marker drawings XD
