hmm

@starball couple of thoughts here - its an 'update' and I'd almost say the culture of 'we can just edit someone elses answer' isn't 'natural' to a lot of people, and certainly weaker than it used to be

on the other hand, it does give Phillippe a little visibility on Meta and that's pretty important

on the gripping hand, I believe meta needs a little chaos

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda as I don't speak English at all, I quite don't care about pronouncing it as "Mem-See-Pee-Why", lol.

There's high quality spam?

@JourneymanGeek yup

@PetəíŕdTheSpringWizard I notice that you’ve got double spaces in your name now.

@ElementsInSpace yes lol

@ElementsInSpace What's your English level?

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda You should watch the whole series and check if she ever mentions SharePoint.

Surely she is oddly adept in pony names and lore.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact That is youtube for you

!!/coffee HamVocke

@rene brews a cup of cappuccino for @HamVocke

probably not strong enough

One of my former classmates used to do a red eye with 8 extra shots of expresso

@JourneymanGeek There was one that managed to add Fisherman to coffee.

as in...

THESE.

That is strong

hm

I always thought that was a south east asian thing

Fisherman's friend

and people ruin modify coffee in lots of ways

Even though I pretty much stopped upvoting staff posts a while ago (except very few), I just can't not upvote this, it's stronger than me. :D

@JourneymanGeek like the coffee mentioned yesterday? ;)

exactly

or adding butter or coconut oil to it

@SPArcheon of course! :D

@JourneymanGeek ah, so it goes more smoothly through the digestive system?

@JourneymanGeek Well, I once said I was studying some basic of tea ceremony, you could join @Shadow in his tinfoil hat theories.

Maybe I live there, who knows?

@SPArcheon yay

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda oh you should add castor oil for that

But they claim it helps you focus better or something

hehe, that would make a mess. :D

pinches @Shadow

pinch from @Pet causing a chain response

whistles innocently

throwing the result on @Pet

dodges

Noob question... If I buy a new activity tracker with bluetooth 5.1, will it connect to my phone which has 5.0?

Or does the 'backwards compatibility' only work when the phone has the highest version?

yes

it should 'just' work

Some capabilities might be inactive, and/or the connection might be slower

but for a activity tracker I don't feel like it needs to go plaid

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard I’m a native speaker of Australian English, I think that corresponds to C2 level.

@ElementsInSpace wow, very good

I'm B1+

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, same. As long as it counts steps, tracks sleep, and syncs with the phone, I'm good.

Oh, and as long as it doesn't fail within the year like my past two Fitbits did.

Thanks :)

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard I’ve noticed that your English has improved since we met, and it’s pretty good these days; there’s a few minor grammar quirks, but nothing particularly significant.

I learnt english watching cartoons :D

@ElementsInSpace thanks :)

@JourneymanGeek "Hi, I am Amanda Dora the Explorer!"

lol

mostly warner brothers and such

@JourneymanGeek hopefully you, like, didn't learn all you know from, like, Shaggy Rogers...

@ElementsInSpace agree, +1

@JourneymanGeek we can see dat

;)

Yosamite sam

I had a texan accent as a toddler

?

ah. Yo-Sam-ite

Yo-sa-mit-eh sam :D

Samsonite

@SPArcheon I see MLP, I run to hide.

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact and seek?

@ElementsInSpace specifically for AusE, it counts as B2 instead :p

@M.A.R. How polite you are.

@ElementsInSpace sorry, sorry

@M.A.R. No you’re not.

To be fair, sarcasm is indicative of high fluency

@Tinkeringbell this being Iran my devices have all sorts of Bluetooth versions, but they work fine.

Mostly.

I've never used one of them fitness thingamajigs though

@JourneymanGeek I learned English reading Finnegans Wake

@ElementsInSpace my friend says AusE sounds like fighting words.

It’s spelt “Ozzie”.

@M.A.R. I've had fitbits for years now. The first two or so, I replaced when fancier, smaller devices came into being (and I had someone willing to give me some money for the old ones). The last two have broken way too soon though, both have severe battery issues where the battery suddenly doesn't last much more than a day. No gradual decline, just straight from 'charge once every 7-9 days' to 'charge every day'.

I got a newer fitbit model when the last one broke, but that one didn't even pair to my older model phone.

So I've decided to go get something completely different and wanted to check this one will likely pair to my phone :P

@Tinkeringbell ... check android or iphone version compatibility for the app

@JourneymanGeek Yep, have done so :)

It was just the bluetooth thing that was confusing me :)

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact obviously doesn't know about "Saw and Pendulum" if that is their idea of "cursed"
