Hats are dumb.
Unless they're fedoras.
Then they're fine.
 
Bart

Where do you stand on brown hats?
 
jadarnel27
jadarnel27
Hats. spits on the ground
Oh. Those are good too, @Bart.
 
animuson

@jadarnel27 would probably only wear half a hat...
 
Undo the Snowman

throws @jadarnel27 on the ground and beats him with @Bart's smiting stick until he decides to like hats
 
Bart
Bart
8:27 PM
Hey hey hey. There shall be no smiting with my smiting stick without my explicit approval!
 
jadarnel27
jadarnel27
Well that seems like a silly thing to do, @animuson. Why on Earth would I only wear half a hat?
 
animuson
animuson
@jadarnel27 Well you only shave half your face... I figured you were a half person.

Where can you buy decent smiting sticks anyway, @Bart? I got one from Wal-Mart but it was made of candle wax and didn't smite very well.
 
jadarnel27
jadarnel27
@animuson Oh that. I just have a lazy eye.

See!

I am half deaf and half blind. Maybe I've been half a person this whole time. You've given me a lot to think about, @animuson.

It's, like, three days until I get my hands on hats.

@balpha Heck yeah! Where do I bribe someone for that? Er, I mean, sign up?

You might have just made half his brain explode @balpha.

@Bart Half of my brain is my whole brain! (I think)

You just hurt my brain.

Screenshot or it didn't happen, @animuson

I've got to move some things around.

By the way, update your avatars now to match this year's off-center hats.
 
Undo the Snowman

@Pops Eh?

It's 100% confused.
 
Pops
Pops
@UndotheSnowman If you look at balpha's screenshot, the hat isn't centered on his avatar. It's centered on his head. What could cause a thing like that?
 
animuson
animuson
Good thing I paid the $3 for insurance on that.
 
Undo the Snowman
Undo the Snowman
@Pops So we don't get to move the hats around ourselves?
(this is my first SE holiday season)
We have to move our avatars around?
Hmm...
 
balpha
balpha
@UndotheSnowman you couldn't last year. This year you can
 
Undo the Snowman
Undo the Snowman
Oh, great!
Woohoo!
@balpha So what's the CSS like to make the hat move the username around too? It seems it would be complicated, right?
 
balpha
balpha
8:40 PM
nope, the JS just gives the name some extra left margin if the hat would overlap
 
Undo the Snowman
Undo the Snowman
oh
 
balpha
balpha
the hats are pure clientside JS
 
Undo the Snowman
Undo the Snowman
I would be hopelessly lost in a sea of CSS
Trying to do it server-side
and we wouldn't get hats till 2015.
(reason #365 I don't work at SE)

@Undo Where's the rest of the reasons?
 
Undo the Snowman
Undo the Snowman
@hichris123 Primarily due to companies not really wanting to hire minors.

This is the "leave Jin alone - he already had to design the hats" method.

He outsourced them this year.

Still importing that ginourmous comments table.

So Jin also hates hats. Excellent. Excellent...

It's 22666468 rows.
203 seconds
I think I might move over to the ServerFault comments instead.
There's fewer of them.
I just got a lot more grateful for SE's db optimizing.
Whew, that's better
500,000 rows is more manageable.
