Sweet! If you use your tax refund to buy an Amazon gift card, TurboTax will give you an extra 10% on it! Might as well do that, it's probably all gonna go to Amazon anyways...
I feel like people use the "unclear what you're asking" close reasons on questions that are just long or complex (difficult to understand quickly). That is...annoying.
This just came up again:
homework is not acceptable if the asker has made no effort whatsoever
I'm developing a bit of an involuntary twitch that manifests itself when I encounter the word "effort" on Stack Overflow these days.
Don't get me wrong — effort is good. At least, productive eff...
I meant for never being offered again. I don't know about Arqade swag specifically, but the general rule is that we produce it on an as-needed basis, so unless it was -- ah, I see Anna jumped in.
Well, it doesn't sound like it was a limited edition thing, so I guess you just have to wait until there's a need for us to make a bunch, and then rabidly do whatever it takes to earn one.
As you may know, SE employees are never poked with sharp sticks, so our sharp stick poker guy is really happy when we give him a target. Trademark infringers make up most of that pool.
@Flyk Again, you joke, but I just had to deal with someone today who asked "can I do X?" on meta, was unambiguously told no, and then went and did X anyways because he had followed the rules and asked, and in his head that was sufficient.
One day you shall receive an email, with Hasbro copied in, requesting permission to make a mug with Stack Exchange on one side and Rainbow Dash on the other
@Pops if I was told no, I'd be sad but would not do it, obviously
even if it was never going to leave my house
and I think that such circumstances should be exempt
Skills that work with teammates
Akali's Twilight Shroud also hides other friendly Akalis.
Anivia's Frostbite will do double damage to an enemy that is 'chilled' by another friendly Anivia.
Brand's abilities will all gain their passive effect if a friendly Brand's Immolation is on that enemy.

Oh I have an easy job I could pick up in a couple months when Douglas County starts bringing back people for the 2014 election. I don't even have to apply for that.
At least if I do get fired it wont be too much of a ding on my resume. It's over a car accident so meh. Not like I'm ever going to apply to another job that requires me to drive...
Yeah I made too tight of a turn on one of my patrols and scraped the van and flattened a tired on a pole which for some reason had a screw sticking out of the bottom of it...
There's other factors. Apparently that's not the specific van of the three we're supposed to be driving, and it caused them 3 hours delay in the morning, blah blah blah. I stopped listening.
Well, I've got many times in this situation. And honestly sometimes I did correct the answer. So this time, it's about the following answer. There is already an accepted answer (a good one too), so it doesn't make sense to add another one. Meanwhile, I can't stand it sometimes that there's a wrong answer hanging around there ...
I would think, that "SO mods" would say "downvote and leave a comment. if it's improved, remove your downvote (or upvote it)"
You can't flag just because it's wrong. And editing a wrong answer to a right one loses the origional intent of the post. So the only way is just downvote and comment.
@hichris123 as with many things that take a long time and you don't know when they're gonna end, apparently you just needed to complain about it taking a long time ;)
One dark night, the night that Hats were turned on, a user was poking around the dev.so site. "A hole!" he cried, his smile quite broad, "I got in! I can see they post crap!" He was right - the devs do post crap to test stuff.
He poked around the site, looking at users. He found Tim Post, with ...
> Undo walked carefully along the pathway, eyeing the hillsides for unicorns. Rumors of their appearance had been trickling back to town ever since the Necromancer had disappeared into the wasteland. No one knew if they were connected, but Undo didn't like to take chances - an angry necromancer wasn't a person to trifle with.
@Anna I thought that would be the case, but for some reason it took like 0 seconds to evaluate something with checking if ClosedDate is NULL and I cancelled it at 14 seconds without that part.
