Tavern on the Meta

00:09

It's so quite in here. :P

animuson

I'm eating gluten-free burgers. :3

Starting #4.

jadarnel27

00:27

That's a lot of burger.

animuson

This wouldn't be a proper tavern without burgers.

hichris123

00:55

@animuson I thought for a second you were saying that there was gluten in the meat. :D

Amaterasu

01:11

@Shog9 thank you for helping me out before, concrns were raised in chat of the site (Cog Sci) that there were a lot of new rubbish questions - I hd only made a question (and an answer), but was a newbie, so I did not want to add to their nuisance any further

Amaterasu

02:50

phew, that was a close call - meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/217443/… would have no doubt have been downvoted to heck if I did

hichris123

@Amaterasu I don't think it would have - it's a good idea, but the point is that are flags like that common enough to have it?

Amaterasu

maybe I should ask that?

hichris123

Hmm, I don't know. It does seem like it would come under other as a flag, so I don't know.

Amaterasu

true, meh, I won't ask it

hichris123

03:06

@Undo You have your own tag! undo :P

Amaterasu

tis a stupid suggestion I made really

hichris123

@Amaterasu I'm sorry, but no, it's actually a good idea. It just wouldn't (probably) be used enough for it to be nessecary. Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because someone points out a flaw in it, it's a bad idea. It's not.

Shog9

@Amaterasu meh. Take things folks say in chat with a grain of salt.

And some tequila.

And a lime, of course.

hichris123

It's not happy hour anymore, @Shog9.

Shog9

bullshit

just finished a couple of really nice porters

hichris123

03:14

Shog9

yesss

hichris123

Is there a Don't chat drunk rule?

Shog9

no

are you crazy?

no

Jan Dvorak

I love chatting drunk

Shog9

If you can still type, you can still chat

Jan Dvorak

03:16

One beer is the ideal amount for me

Shog9

At 7000ft, 3 about does it for me

At sea level, it takes a few more

Jan Dvorak

I've never been that high

Shog9

Fortunately for my wallet, I'm at 7000ft

Amaterasu

okay, I'll post it and see how it goes

Shog9

DO IT!

The most you can lose is worthless meta rep and privs

Jan Dvorak

03:17

At 3 beers, my stomach starts to complain

Amaterasu

@Shog9 that is not reassuring..... anyways, I am posting it as an answer to the threead

hichris123

@Shog9 I am crazy, shouldn't that show up on my user page?

Shog9

?

but, yes, probably

hichris123

Like the leaving out my milk option. It should be there, right?

Shog9

naw. You're just crazy.

hichris123

03:24

Darn. I don't know my mod/CM tools.

Amaterasu

alright ... answered meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/217443/…

@Shog9 @hichris123 I put my idea in an answer

Shog9

so i see...

would want a specialized flag, not a close option; we don't close plagiarism; we edit it or DELETE IT

ruthlessly

no ruths allowed

...i'll see about writing that up

Amaterasu

should I edit or delete my answer?

who in the heck is Evan Carroll?

just had an ..'interesting' chat with him chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/13389701#13389701

Shog9

@Amaterasu he is... An interesting fella

Amaterasu

@Shog9 he is indeed and as you can see in my chat with him, he was quite a charater

@Shog9 did the wording of my answer make sense at all?

Shog9

03:36

yes

@Amaterasu edit, yes. Let's face it: folks plagiarize answers way more than questions. No need to bother considering closure.

Amaterasu

i am wondering should just delete it?

Jan Dvorak

The most plagiarism is in the tag wiki, isn't there?

Amaterasu

I edited my answer a bit

Pëkka

@Amaterasu looooooool

evancarroll.com

Amaterasu

@Pëkka he referred to Amaterasu as 'Fido'....

Pëkka

03:40

There is a ppor guy in North Carolina who happens to share his name.

evancarroll.net

He must have a tough time finding customers

Amaterasu

I wonder if he is a membr?

Pëkka

"Hello, my name is Evan Carroll, I would like to make your communications experience more personal!" click

Amaterasu

@Pëkka did you like my chat with him?

in other news I am slightly less of a fat, ugly socially inept and rather stupid slob... lost 2.7kg in 3 weeks

hichris123

@Amaterasu From the looks of your chat... an interesting character he is...

Amaterasu

yup, he seems to not be as 'awesome' or 'great' as he claims to be

hichris123

03:55

Oh, is he that person who has a Wikipedia user page about himself and has a link to his mSO profile?

Lemme look.

Pëkka

@Amaterasu very funny.

@hichris123 yes

hichris123

@Pëkka Link please for my amusement?

Amaterasu

he definitely did not know my nickname is named for the Japanese mythological sun goddess

calling it 'Fido'

hichris123

Here we go:

User:EvanCarroll

Future President of the United States, Dr. Sri Sri Evan John Carroll GBE (born September 10 1985 CE – never) aka The Evan Carroll, or simply The Evan is totally awesome. He is known for his ability to split water as he walks on it. Evan is currently employed as a highly senior computer software engineer or programmer and ruthlessly wastes lots of time improving technical and local articles on Wikipedia. His public distaste and abhorrence for sarcasm is well known. Also known, is his willingness to create words when they don't exist, claiming them for the betterment of the language. ...

@Amaterasu You'll get a laugh out of this page

Amaterasu

holy crap...

I am seeing a lot of '[citation needed]' in there

Shog9

04:00

huh... Never really considered his birth date before. I have 3 relatives born on the same day of the year. 9/10 is an auspicious date.

hichris123

Heh, what a coincidence.

Amaterasu

lol, instead of [citation needed], there is a [weasel words]

That was terrifying reading

Jan Dvorak

04:32

Is this too minor an edit?

Dennis Meng

04:51

how goes the tavern this lovely friday night

Jan Dvorak

05:03

Met this on my closevoting spree :-D

If you can use regexes, you can assuredly use std::string. And regex for a single char is just, kinda, moronic... — Lightness Races in Orbit yesterday

Dennis Meng

I want to say I saw that too

Made me chuckle a little

Amaterasu

05:18

can someone nuke this spamtard chemistry.stackexchange.com/users/4287/user67848 - spammers are useless scum

Jan Dvorak

on the same note, there's a lot of outstanding spam on Magento. Again.

Amaterasu

spammers, once caught, should be castrated so they don't breed and hung, drawn and quartered and eaten alive by fire ants and frced to listen to the dribble that comes from One Direction and Justin Beiber

Jan Dvorak

Hate to be unoriginal, but Beatles once were singing the same kind of stupid love songs 1D does.

OK, I'm out of flags on Magento. Again.

Amaterasu

overpaid pretty boys

Jan Dvorak

Open your realtime tabs, I'm out of my spam flags.

animuson

05:25

Finalllly got the platinum trophy on Assassin's Creed 4. Man was that a boring grind.

Amaterasu

@JanDvorak how?

nm found it

Jan Dvorak

Step 1: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/193646/spam-deluge-over-at-webapps-and-pretty-much-all-over-se/193681#193681
Step 2: http://stackexchange.com/questions?tab=realtime#

Note: 1 request per second is considered too much by the Stack Exchange bot, and it's counted network-wide. Stupid spammer.

Amaterasu

all spammers are stupid, like advertisers

animuson

mashable.com/2014/01/24/google-gmail-outage-response

Who was complaining about GMail being down? ^

Amaterasu

06:54

damn worthless piece of subhuman crap spammer is back on chem.SE chemistry.stackexchange.com/users/4288/user4288

All spammers should be put to a slow and excrutiatingly painful death

michaelb958

in Whining Room, 1 hour ago, by michaelb958

Don't they ever stop?

Jan Dvorak

07:54

aaand another one

also, one on magento

the ones on magento are getting boring...

Amaterasu

and another on on chem.SE

Jan Dvorak

I've called out the chem.se one already, or do you mean a different one?

Amaterasu

these subhuman spammers need to be tracked down and incapacitated in a way that they can never send their crap and also so they never breed

there is another one

this piece of trash chemistry.stackexchange.com/users/4290/user4290

michaelb958

@Amaterasu Use $.castrate(), but always supply an argument.

Jan Dvorak

magento - magento.stackexchange.com/questions/13843/…

I'm outta flags

Amaterasu

08:02

@michaelb958 lol

Jan Dvorak

08:45

flag-pls magento.stackexchange.com/questions/13844/…

I'll leave the rest of magento.se to you

Amal Murali

lolwat

Jan Dvorak

09:11

yesss!

Now this suggested audit was slightly tricky :-)

Amal Murali

"navigator drawer ands hit the tablistener interface win32 version" is enough to know it's a suggested audit :P

It's easy for suggested-edits queue, but CV audits are harder (at least, that's what I think)

Jan Dvorak

I passed it, but I had to read the text :-)

I pass CV audits by observing the timing

should I be ashamed?

I'm out of CV review points for today, but I still have 11 votes to spend. Any volunteers?

rene

09:29

I think I casted the last spam flag needed on that question on magento @JanDvorak

@JanDvorak the timing is the give away I wanted to keep for myself :-)

No shame needed, you pay attention (sort of)

animuson

Hrm, anyone recommend a free video editor that doesn't leave stupid watermarks?

Amal Murali

Can anyone take a look at my reputation history?

Bart

What kind of editing @animuson? Something like Lightworks or Blender perhaps?

Amal Murali

I was serially upvoted twice within the last two days, and after that some of the upvotes weren't removed during the reversal. Any ideas why this might be happening?

animuson

@Bart Just basic tools. Cutting things together, compressing.

Jan Dvorak

09:36

@animuson does the MS video editor leave watermarks?

animuson

Microsoft has a video editor?

Jan Dvorak

indeed

Amal Murali

Should I ask a question on Meta about it?

Jan Dvorak

you can flag suspicious voting patterns after the script is done not kicking in

animuson

@AmalMurali Which votes? Your reputation history looks fine to me...

rene

09:39

@animuson windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/… but if it's packaged with Windows Live be prepared to install Writer, Email, Messenger and a lot of other useless stuff as well...

HALP?

animuson

Haha that's the first thing it asks.

Like noooooooo nonononononono

rene

It is a package deal

animuson

You have to install Photo Gallery to install Movie Maker, but you can skip all the other stuff.

@rene "I'm writing PHP, here's some SQL."

Jan Dvorak

0_0 I've just seen a question with this exact title:

> HALP DEBUG MY ASSIGNMENT ASAP

And this in the body:

> but it no work for mysql database plz give me teh codez

rene

look up 7 messages ^^^^

Amal Murali

09:44

@JanDvorak: this one right?

Jan Dvorak

@AmalMurali aye

Amal Murali

Smells like a troll.

Amaterasu

@JanDvorak that has to be fake

Jan Dvorak

@AmalMurali *smells himself* indeed

Amal Murali

@animuson: You're right. I was confused. I just re-checked and I see all votes were removed correctly.

rene

11:01

@JanDvorak If you still have CV left stackoverflow.com/questions/21349654/…

I just screwed my debian server...

Bart

Well done good Sir

rene

Turns out that installing from unstable means that your box becomes unstable. Never knew that.

jadarnel27

11:18

I think animosity expressed in here towards the people posting spam is...weird.

One should reserve one's animosity for truly distasteful things. Like Active Directory. We have flags for spam. There are no flags for AD.

This question appears to be off-topic because it's about the horrifying piece of technology know as Active Directory OH GOD RUN GET OUT WHILE YOU CA-

Bart

Well thank you @jadarnel27. I just paid a hypnotist to remove all traces of AD from my brain, just so I could close all such questions as "Unclear what you're asking". Now that has all been for nothing.

jadarnel27

11:43

Uh...whoops! Sorry 'bout that, @Bart!

The close reason probably still applies.

Or "off-topic" -> "belongs on another site" -> "Server Fault."

What made me think it was a good idea to wake up this early on a Saturday?
