Anyway, do you see that?

bjb568

@hichris123 Flagged offensive

:P

hichris123

The weird casing & not enough spaces.

bjb568

@hichris123 Yeah.

hichris123

Huh.

bug report time.

Jan Dvorak

@hichris123 no SE results on the front page

Unihedron

17:38

Wrong room, head to the MSE Tavern. Oh wait...

hichris123

@JanDvorak Then go to the second page.

bjb568

@JanDvorak Google personalizes things. Google is creepy.

hichris123

Even in incognito it was on the first page...

Infinite Recursion

It's there Jan, 5th on google search

Unihedron

... I don't see it

hichris123

17:39

@Unihedron What do you see?

ProgramFOX

@hichris123 No, I don't get an SE result and if I add "earth science" to the search query, I get that question and the spacing and casing is correct.

Unihedron

10th page now

I found some BuzzFeed...

And some "hot girls with goats" (wtf)

bjb568

Jan Dvorak

@hichris123 not there either. And if it's somewhere in the results, it's below "hot girls with goats", last result on page 4

Infinite Recursion

Seriously, google is that bad for you. What did you guys personalize it with??

ProgramFOX

17:42

google.com auto-redirects me to google.be, so what I see is the Belgian version of Google.

Jan Dvorak

I'm looking at the link Hichris posted here. www.google.com/...

Q: July/August hottest months (northern hemisphere): because of continued warming or other effects?

In the northern hemisphere July and Augusts are the hottest months statistically(*), but the days start shortening after 21. June. Is this just because these parts keep heating up after 21. June (just like the hottest part of a day is not when the sun is highest, but some hours later), or are ...

Duckduckgo doesn't show me the earthscience page at all. What search string are you using bjb?

Well... how 'bout this: would anyone complain if this was the answer:

> You forgot to include dataManager.cpp in your build. Including it will solve your problem.

Bart

Just edit the damn answer already. Just make it "Make sure you include dataManager.cpp. The problems you're encountering seem indicative of an absence of the file" or something along those lines. Same message, and it's a clear answer. Then we can all move on.

hichris123

@Bart Oh, hi Bart. The star wall seems quiet without you!
