funny thing is that was not the context I was expecting to see that being said in

also how does one even remember something like that :D

Journeyman Geek

@tripleee flagged, tho needs a local mod to handle in any case

the NAA flags don't do anything on their own IIRC

tripleee

yeah, I don't have privs to downvote (let alone delete vote) on that site, but on the off chance ...

I don't know any of their mods to mug them :D

I don't want to get my hopes up - but I noticed that there's some changes in how SE lists jobs

either as "remote - country", or in some cases "remote" and sometimes mentioning specific target locations

@JourneymanGeek there probably will always remain countries they can't hire people from

SPArcheon

7:55 AM

@Catija yep that one. Recently a new game was released and that gave me the idea. That said, the new game is also quite... controversial.... and most fans are split between "great game" and "horrible [redacted] made by Ron out of spite"

As for me, I will probably avoid that for now, but if you were interested you may want to do some research before spending your money.

That said, that is also a problem because the two main issues seem to be the artstyle and the plot... the first one you can see in any trailer, the second one is clearly a spoiler.

Journeyman Geek

8:25 AM

@Luuklag Well yes

And I'm certain if the one country that matters to me is on the can hire list, people will let me know :D

Tinkeringbell

You sure?

Do that many people still look at those things? XD

Journeyman Geek

lol

well optimistically not everyone in the company hates me and wishes I'd just go away :D

I was gonna say OI. Then, a link would help :D

Luuklag

while you're at it, the dupes on this could use updating, and invalidating of re-open votes: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/382343/…

Journeyman Geek

8:41 AM

I can add the dupes

invalidating reopen votes is - if I've not been doing it the dumb way, closing and reopening :D

Luuklag

whatever floats your boat ;)

Journeyman Geek

I'll leave it as such for now

Tinkeringbell

@Luuklag The answer to that is always physics... I don't see how physics is related to this.

mmmm curious what happened here, a revision without changes: meta.stackexchange.com/posts/382394/revisions

Tinkeringbell

10:00 AM

@Luuklag Someone moved a link from inline to footnote

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell what a useless edit

also strange that the markdown view doesn't see that as a change

Tinkeringbell

My markdown view showed that to me...

But if I switch to 'inline' and then back, it no longer will... something seems a bit broken.

Luuklag

Tinkeringbell

Don't have a screenshot. You'll have to trust that my fast answer was because I could see the change there XD

But if I now switch from inline to markdown, it also won't 'stick'. Next time I open de revision history, it opens as inline again.

Luuklag

yeah, I went to a different Q's history, switched to markdown there, went back and it showed correctly

we found ourselves a bug

Tinkeringbell

10:04 AM

Seems so, yeah.

Luuklag

feel free to use my screenshot if you want, I'm out for lunch now

Tinkeringbell

Heh, no. I'm going to fold some laundry and have lunch too XD

Luuklag

well I'll see if I have some spare time when I get back from lunch

@M.A.R. I finally Googled it ^

But... was it ever useful? I really doubt it lol

Police just arrives, taking the people by force and either throwing them away, or taking them to jail, end of story.

@Luuklag 100% useless, adds nothing, improves nothing. But that's just how the editor "works", useless edits are part of their ordinary activity. Luckily not too much, once in a while isn't hurting anyone.

M.A.R.

11:16 AM

@ShadowTheKidWizard yay! Welcome back! How was the journey to the other tab?

@ShadowTheKidWizard no idea. It does matter to show where we stand, because then the government can't call us looters, and can't pretend it's a handful of young thugs. I don't think any more violent methods are effective either, definitely not at this stage

@JourneymanGeek look, you have to be a realist in life

Journeyman Geek

@M.A.R. so some people hate me and wish me to go away? That's realistic :D

M.A.R.

@M.A.R. sweaty. I had to show.ER

@M.A.R. oh, hi! I'm not used you say serious things. Of course you're right, and of course any reasonable government would listen to the people they govern when those people protest, but in your case the government isn't reasonable. And not that it's better here, lol.

Q: Edit history behaves strangely when there is only an edit in markdown

I was trying to see what was changed from revision 1 to revision 2 of this post and it appeared that nothing changed in the side-by-side view: I switched to the side-by-side Markdown view and the view stayed the same. I brought this up in chat, and others were able to see that there in fact was...

@Luuklag Have an upvote :)

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell thanks :)

BTW, @Luuklag I already noticed the bug a while ago.

@Justin huh, so there's a bug, revision diff is empty, including the markdown diff.

Luuklag

@ShadowTheKidWizard you should've posted it ;)

Edited to link to that chatmessage

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R OK, here you go:

Luuklag

Would be nice if that was wodka xD

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. Well I didn't look very closely at the mug to be honest :D

M.A.R.

OK that's it!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Now that's worthy of @SPA red button ^^

Meh too lazy to find it

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. you don't have that button

M.A.R.

How can people post images and stuff

You could spend all that time looking for the image for chatting instead.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. forgot to ask, what kind of hair? ;)

M.A.R.

I'm talking pure efficiency here

@ShadowTheKidWizard no, you misheard. Hare. Like, those bunnies that look like morons

How did it get there? Because it's a moron

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. no no, it's black on white, written on my screen. Hair.

M.A.R.

12:55 PM

You can already tell Bugs Bunny is unrelated

curious

@JourneymanGeek curious and annoying :P

M.A.R.

I did something inefficient and posted an image, just to drive my point home. Now I know how you guys feel

I don't envy you

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. no

M.A.R.

You can't screenshot what I said! You can only give me a voice recording!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. cheating, that way no way to differentiate hair and hare.

Unless @Spe got some idea?

M.A.R.

1:00 PM

I was just in a hairy situation, okay?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. try different color then.

M.A.R.

Maybe it was hair hare I mean hare hair so you can't make me admit what I won't admit

curious

Would you like some tea with that hair in your mouth?ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/…

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@curious LOL

@M.A.R. ha! I got it. Her name is Hare. hmm

M.A.R.

How did you guys ever conquer Asia and Africa 300 years ago

Or hair.

Maybe if you have a comb

What if you have a comb and a hammer?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

1:04 PM

oh no, found the real hare.

Darius D. Hare

Darius Dodge Hare (January 9, 1843 – February 10, 1897) was a soldier, lawyer, and a two-term U.S. Representative from Ohio from 1891 to 1895. == Biography == Born near Adrian, Ohio, Hare attended the common schools. During the Civil War, he enlisted in March 1864 as a private in the Signal Corps of the Union Army, and served during the remainder of the conflict. He mustered out of the army in 1865 and returned home. After the war, Hare attended the University of Michigan Law School. He was admitted to the bar in September 1867 and commenced practice in Carey, Ohio. He moved to Upper Sandusky,...

So, you found his hair after digging something up?

M.A.R.

@ShadowTheKidWizard for a hair he has little hare

Spevacus

@ShadowTheKidWizard Hares have hair whose hares also probably have hair

Therefore

You are right

They're one and the same

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Spevacus not enough air

curious

as long as it's not affurgato

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Spevacus Agree!

M.A.R.

1:06 PM

@Spevacus you're saying slavery is acceptable in the hare society?

Maybe they're just really classist

Spevacus

LOL

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Language play time! Hair = "H" + "air"

In Hebrew, it's "שיער" which is "ש" + "יער"

M.A.R.

The airy hairy heir to the throne ruined season 8

I can already feel my English skills improving

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. the hair is a lie

M.A.R.

Or "lay"?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

1:09 PM

@M.A.R. only when down.

M.A.R.

You can't let your hair down in a Tavern!

Thrice uncouth!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. from what I remember, some parts of him aren't hairy :P

@M.A.R. four? ^

Luuklag

well this all escalated quickly

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Also, "snow" can't be a name of hairy person. :D

@Luuklag escalation is my middle name

M.A.R.

@ShadowTheKidWizard so what, he's supposed to be an albino?

Luuklag

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Luuklag hmm since I don't really do FIFO all the time, might be better idea for next name. Thanks!

M.A.R.

Floating is overrated

One minute you're like WOAH then you're like woah

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. no, just lack of hairs. And it's confirmed. :P

M.A.R.

What's confirmed?

Kit Harrington has alopecia?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

1:14 PM

Watched whole of season 8 only twice, so wasn't sure, had to check.

M.A.R.

You rewatched the whole thing just for that?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Think in previous seasons he had double, but not in last season.

@M.A.R. yeah, in 5 minutes. I'm actually a super computer. :D

M.A.R.

@M.A.R. it's doomed since before it was Created

Catija

@curious How are the littles? Doing well?

curious

@Catija my youngest has been sleeping from about 10pm to 7am... Everything is foggy :P oldest is learning to read/write, that's fun! And yours?

Catija

@curious We're lucky on the sleep - they both get put to bed at 8 and (other than a few visits) usually stay in bed. First year of kinder for the big one - he's at a Spanish immersion school, so that's a bit of a change for him but he seems to be doing OK. The little one is generally pretty laid back. Birthday in a month for him. :D

Luuklag

congrats in advance @Catija, or does that bring bad luck?

Catija

I think it's fine. :D We're doing a shared birthday with one of the kids he knows who's Bennett's best friend, snow theme, apparently :P In Texas. HAHA

Luuklag

8:58 PM

Their big into Elsa?

Catija

Gus loves Elsa - he watched Frozen at least once each flight to England and back... the other kid wants to be a snowman for Halloween, which is the following weekend, so it worked out.

Luuklag

Ah thats great, only one costume needed xD

Our youngest are about to turn 4 already. Looks like just yesterday that they were born

Catija

I haven't even started figuring out costumes... I'm so behind. ::P

@Luuklag Ah, so your twins have a similar birthday to Gus, then. He's October 23.

Luuklag

Making a snowman wouldn't sound too difficult

Catija

Ah, no but usually they've wanted to be spider-man or something like that for Halloween.

Luuklag

9:01 PM

No theirs is dec 31st, but already kinda stressing over their bday. My wife starts a new job Jan 1st, on the other side of the country

so we'll probably be moving around the holidays, which sounds like a great plan....

Wow. :D That's a busy holiday season.

yeah, really looking forward to it....

Q: Do Stack Overflow Teams sites support GIFs in questions and answers?

I'm having trouble adding a .gif to a question or answer in our Stack Overflow Team site. I've used the following tooling to add the .gif, and it plays in the preview window, but when it's actually applied to the question or answer, the extension is .png. For example: As you can see here, it...

support images stack-overflow-for-teams

there's no real way to get attention on something like that, I presume unless some mega corp went "we want to spend one MILLION dollars on teams instances but we need animated gifs" :D

Catija

I use MSE for all my image uploads to teams anyway... unless there's some reason I can't.

Enough of the stuff I have to post publicly eventually, I just save myself the worry of posting content with images only I can see.

Also, resizing imgur images is way easier.

Journeyman Geek

Possibly but I don't post gifs that often and its inconsistent behaviour

Catija

@curious It's super cute. I think that the snow storm from two Valentines' days ago was a big impact on them, so they like the idea of snow despite seeing it so infrequently.
