"Is the conversion of the codes successful?" I think he might be talking about crypto here…

Maybe his whole answer is a code in that case!

Frank

Wow, only 7 people did the self evaluation so far, on GL.

Unihedron

Let's face it; It either gets through beta or it doesn't.

Jan Dvorak

@Unihedron false dichotomy

it can stay in beta forever

Unihedron

6:09 PM

If it's staying in beta forever then it doesn't get through beta. Simple! :D

Jan Dvorak

except it doesn't get closed either

Frank

It is staying in beta forever. Over 3 years anyway.

Jan Dvorak

six to eight more years until graduation?

Frank

@JanDvorak yup

Unless I leave. That would be bad, I answer more than half the questions. They would have to close it.

bjb568

Somebody has too much time.

Unihedron

6:12 PM

Potential for ragequitter alert!

How to get titanium in kittens game? I have 3.19 titanium. Can I automate that or something?

Frank

@bjb568 Actually, it takes 5-15 minutes to answer a question, so answering half the questions when we're getting 4.8/day isn't very time consuming.

Unihedron

@Frank I should find a beta site. It takes me 1-3 hours to find a question to answer on Stack Overflow.

bjb568

Same.

Frank

@Unihedron You could answer junk as it comes in.

bjb568

And it would be an excuse to carry a diamond too…

Unihedron

6:14 PM

@Frank Blasphemy!

bjb568

@Frank Not very furfilling.

Unihedron

I wants diamond!

Frank

There are over 1m unanswered qs there.

@bjb568 Ha! you're a comedian!

bjb568

@Frank 99% should be instadeleted.

Unihedron

@Frank feature-request allow custom "hide this" flag so it doesn't show up

bjb568

6:15 PM

@Frank Actually, I just can't spell very well. But hahaha!

Frank

@bjb568 Which would leave over 10,000 questions for you to answer.

bjb568

@Frank 99% of those aren't in my area of expertise.

Unihedron

@bjb568 Then learn them! :D

Frank

@bjb568 You have an area of expertise?

Jan Dvorak

@Unihedron I don't even try looking anymore

Unihedron

6:18 PM

Speaking of questions in answerable state I happen to know an answer of, I just found one! Brb!

Frank

@Unihedron Answer it, get more rep. You'll do better running for mod.

Unihedron

I don't forsee myself running for mod to be honest. :P

Frank

@Unihedron Do it anyway. You obviously have the time. :)

ProgramFOX

Got to go now, see you!

Unihedron

Bye bye!

@ProgramFOX Leave us...

@ProgramFOX Sorry, cya later! :)

Thanks @Unihedron (I didn't know how). Now that I have someone's attention, I'd like a mod to help confirm I've been victimized by serial upvoting

Unihedron

6:46 PM

wait for a reversal by 48 hours...?

hichris123

@kolossus Yeah, that'll be reversed. :P Even not being a mod... 8 or so upvotes is very suspicious.

kolossus

solid

feels icky; just want to wash it off sharpish

thanks guys

just to be sure, only the serial upvotes will be reversed yeah?

I believe I have earned some rep legitimately today

bjb568

@kolossus Yup.

yup, the serial voting system is awesome. If it's still there in a few days and it bugs you, flag one of your posts with a custom flag explaining the situation.

bjb568

I tried doing that with my serial voting that happens every couple weeks. Flags marked helpful, nothing happened.

kolossus

No thanks @Braiam. Thanks for offering however

We're just having a bit of a chin-wag eh @Braiam. Curb your vitriol

Braiam

@hichris123 people shouldn't make their life propose so easily fulfillable

humans needs to be greedy, or they can't develop

kolossus

You should be able to determine when one is being facetious @Braiam

You're joining a thread that's be loaded with whimsical bursts for the last 15-20 minutes

none of it should be taken as seriously as a pryon like you're taking it

or would you be inclined to believe it's actually raining tacos as well?

Frank

7:33 PM

@Braiam *purpose

kolossus

or are you going to descend into some diatribe about the meaning of life ( I bet you are you life-coach you)

settle down and stop being so serious eh?

Braiam

being able to produce tacos rain is an excellent idea... you end with the global hunger

kolossus

that's the spirit old chap

Braiam

@Frank can't edit anymore

Frank

@Braiam Except tacos aren't a balanced diet for dogs, so they would probably eat many and die young.

Die young is a dumb song.

Just remembered it when I said that.

kolossus

7:37 PM

which @Frank

?

Frank

@kolossus Which what?

kolossus

which "Die Young" song is daft?

I feel like there are a bunch of them

Frank

@kolossus KeSha's

kolossus

Righto. Daft as a boot.

It is catchy however.

"We're gonna die young, ya, ya , ya. I'm lorde"

Frank

@kolossus Hahaha.

@kolossus Then there's Daft Punk, which is daft as a boot and not catchy.

kolossus

7:42 PM

Take that back!

Frank

At least nothing of theirs is in my opinion.

Tecnologic was funny.

@kolossus No.

kolossus

takes off glove I demand satisfaction

ok

state exactly what you don't like about daft punk

Frank

@kolossus rolls up sleeves

kolossus

gasp!

Frank

@kolossus repetition - which is why the only one really like is harder better faster stronger.

kolossus

7:45 PM

hmm. repetition of style (a la AC/DC and practically anything considered "Classic Rock")?

or repetition of theme @Frank

?

Braiam

@Frank who told the dogs to eat tacos?

Frank

@kolossus Reality: I can bench-press nearly 400 lbs now. For your benefit, I suggest not fighting.

kolossus

@frank - Fighting? scoff

Frank

@Braiam Dogs love tacos. If they were raining, they'd gorge themselves.

kolossus

Pistols at dawn old chap... glove slap

Frank

7:47 PM

@kolossus Hahaha. :) Fighting is fun, when you always win.

@kolossus Repetition of everything.

kolossus

well, I'll give you that

Frank

@kolossus You don't call a bloke like me 'chap' or 'old'.

@kolossus Good, I'll take it.

kolossus

pish @frank. Landed gentry like myself would not even consider engaging in fisticuffs with...common men. Pistols at dawn, man, for sullying the name of good group

See, there are some bands/groups/artistes I like to call fit-for-purpose
