@ShadowWizard Skiing
9:01 AM
I see Google has uglyfied the image search page.
9:39 AM
by image search page, you mean... everything :D
pretty sure they're faux 3d buttons away from going full 90s
Just like clothing: Everything becomes back in fashion if you wait long enough :P
pray tell, dear sir, where can I get my mustaches ondulated?
That's horrifying
Some day what I wear might ... be in fashion?
I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING THINGS BEFORE IT WAS COOL?
Perish the thought madam. PERISH THE THOUGHT.
@Tinkeringbell I’m still waiting for those macaroni wigs to come back into style.
HEEEY MACARONI
@ElementsInSpace I have a very stylish macaroni necklace, never heard of wigs...
@SPArcheon-onstrike the british empire sent a telegram. You can keep the stash.
DISCLAIMER: it was @JourneymanGeek fault. They mentioned it
10:08 AM
I feel nothing but very old
that was nearly 30 years ago?
The wigs are from the 1700’s.
10:43 AM
@ElementsInSpace As in the song, Yankee Doodle.
Here's a guy with an impressive beard & moustache singing a song written a century ago. Paddlin' Madelin Home
11:14 AM
@ElementsInSpace You've been waiting a long time then :D
Nearly 300 years

hmm
meta.stackexchange.com/questions/34705/… I'm close voting this as a dupe to a newer question that reflects the current state of things to avoid confusion
I know there's enough mods and gold badgers here (and active community members). If y'all think it was in error, just act appropriately or let me know
I was reaching for the close button just seconds before you closed it :P
I don't see an issue. The situation is covered by the FAQ. In fact, the answer defers to the FAQ. No need to keep multiple sources that all need to be updated on change.
There was apparently at least one other occasion when the answer became outdated, looking at the comments.
@VLAZ Ironically for a long time moderator - I still don't like unilateral close powers :D
[FR] make Journeyman Geek's close votes require at least one more close vote.
3:04 PM
I mean, I'd be good with that
Now we wait for the next Community Asks sprint.
I'm also confused to why that's downvoted
it does bring up a flaw in the system as designed
Now I'm wondering if that was mod or community closed
3:34 PM
Catija is right that the FAQ doesn't quite cover what happens if you don't have answers on a closed question with a bounty. I mean, it should just lapse and you lose it. However, it's not very clearly defined in the section seeking to define it. Also, the situation can definitely be handled differently. If somebody adds a bounty to a question and that question gets closed, they certainly could get the bounty refunded.
Like, what's the worse that can happen? A user starts bountying closeable question and the community whack-a-closes them all? Seems the user is actually helping clean up the site.
Well the other bad thing is that the user gets frustrated and leaves forever. But there is a much higher chance of that if they just lose their bounty.
Yeah, there's no documentation here, cause we didn't really know it was happening
The criteria can be refined, like you lose the bounty if the question was open for X days (say, closed on the last or last two days). But the specifics can be ironed out separately.
And its a bit complicated to test
@VLAZ Yeah, I did a top of my head suggestion with reasoning but as much as I enjoy working out mechanics, one would assume that these sort of changes would come with them built in D:
4:30 PM
@JourneymanGeek see comments: basically because "Your linked question bad, now die for daring asking another valid unrelated question"
4:43 PM
@SPArcheon-onstrike Question would have been closed without it I'd suspect
@JourneymanGeek there is a common pattern of pilling up downvotes on valid questions from users who are blamed of "bad" behaviors
Which feels unfair.
it is.
and we keep saying "vote the question, not the user" yet we continue to do that
5:11 PM
Quite
but I figure I could (ab)use my standing to encourage people to go the other way :D

So, Internet Archive got hacked, 33M emails and passwords (hashed, but still) now out in the open. I wonder, did SE know anything in advance, deciding to move away from there? ;)
@SPArcheon-onstrike valid doesn't have to mean "good". It means it's on topic and should not get closed/deleted, but it can still be poorly written, or if in meta site, have content that the downvoter doesn't agree with.
@JourneymanGeek +1 this is fine.
@SPArcheon-onstrike there's no more image search, it's now called "Google Lens".
And yeah, they made it worse.

@Feeds Or make peace. The planet needs it.
