I am going to this hard core camping trip, we need to bring tent, sleeping bag, stove, first aid kit, food, water / water filter. & I plan to bring a few more stuff, now I know what turtles/snails feel like, except they don't carry stoves with them

They don't bring first-aid kits either, although sometimes I'll bet they wish they did.

they don't move around in a herd like we humans do either

user202362

and they catch their own food (all natural, not some sun dried, perserved stuff), living in good quality homes not in some flimsy plastic things

Shog9

They're also much tastier.

COINCIDENCE?

user202362

I wouldn't know, I have never eaten a human before

Shog9

Well, I wouldn't recommend eating a whole one. Can't be healthy

Hard to find fit, health people who have a well balance of fat and muscles and fed on all natural ingredients.

user202362

SO is also probably the last place to find such people too - no hard feelings to all the software developers

Modeling data is hard. Time to break out the Godawful Folder Of Miscellaneous CSVs.

Do moderators get extra reviews now? The close vote review stats show Bill the Lizard having 50.

Or perhaps there is some other criteria that allows for extra reviews.

@jadarnel27 He was jealous of the top spot. He's cheating his way to the top.

Hi, do you think that this is an issue that has to be solved? meta.stackoverflow.com/q/167725/205508

Shog9

@John Not really. See my answer.

@jadarnel27 Review limits don't apply to mods.

If mods were limited to n < 100 close votes per day on SO, things would be... difficult.

@Shog9 Ah, I didn't think that exception would apply to doing things through the review queue. Thanks for the info.

I am confused by the new Google Hangouts app.

I can't seem to understand how adding symbols in your username on SE works.

Can anyone elaborate a little on that pls?

thanks

Michael Mrozek

@phpNoOb What symbols? Diamonds denote moderators, those are really the only symbols. You can stick random unicode in if you want, you just type it normally

php NoOb

No I means, like differenct characters, like Japanses chinese... Because, when I type it, it says, it can not accept such characters and so on... @MichaelMrozek

Q: Initial non-ISO646 character refused in display name

I tried to set my display name to: نصر الدين تهريب الحمير That is composed entirely of letters and spaces, Unicode-wise. Yet the profile editor rejected it on the grounds that it wasn't composed of letter and numbers and/or didn't start with a letter or number. So, either the message needs to...

Michael Mrozek

@phpNoOb There's a meta post about it, but it doesn't give much info. There's no trick to it, just some characters work and some don't

php NoOb

I found a post on it. thanks

John

@Shog9 Thanks. I waited for an answer from a moderator! :-)

this explanation is what I don't understand.

So, if I wanted to change my name to NOOBఠ_ఠ it won't let me

That is the problem

Michael Mrozek

These are the unicode categories: fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/index.htm

You can use symbols from: Ll, Lu, Lt, Lo, Nd, Pc, Lm

php NoOb

Sorry, but how does entering Ll, Lu, Lt, Lo, Nd, Pc, Lm generate ఠ_ఠ symbol?

Michael Mrozek

You can't use those symbols, they're not in the list of legal characters (I assume, I don't actually know what they are). I linked you to a list of unicode characters; you can only use ones from a few categories. There are lots of other categories, but you're not allowed to use them

php NoOb

this is weird, because I just changed my profile here

php Nఠ_ఠB, 31.7665N, 35.2338E

477 3 8

deskt google mobile privacy virus

SE is weird sometimes.

Michael Mrozek

It works on some sites but not others? I don't know what the issue is then

I have a question regarding the "linked" posts.

On Meta.TeX, I asked a question with some linked posts:

Q: Tag synonyms and how they work

There are a large number of questions on meta that deal with tag synonyms, requesting a merger via so-called synonyms. To name a few: Should {accepted-answer} be a synonym of {accepting}? Make {dashes} and {comma} synonyms of {punctuation} Make {external-images} a synonym of {graphics} ... H...
