@PatrickHofman exactly, that's why I stopped greeting users, because that grumpy guy attacks me chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/89?m=2560481#2560481

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard wow! then there are skin creams for oily skin also. People here loose enough oil from their skin, most of them use oily skin cream, but, then I again wonder, why do we need those creams :/

@Unihedron Your flagging history? no, its not mine :P

Infinite Recursion

@DroidDev oily skin needs moisturisation more than normal, dry or combination skin. If you moisturize oily skin, the glands tend to secrete less oil, else they secrete more oil and lead to breakouts

DroidDev

@InfiniteRecursion ummm..... wow! I didn't know that :/ and what happens after "breakouts". Can't you just wash your hands?

SilentKiller

@DroidDev you are too curious to learn this. :P

DroidDev

@SilentKiller Its because, I am trying to figure out reason for other's curiosity in this

SilentKiller

11:13 AM

@DroidDev oh!ya i forgot you always do R&D :P

DroidDev

@SilentKiller lol, that's why I got the job :D

Infinite Recursion

@DroidDev by breakouts, I meant skin breakouts like pimples and acne, oily skin tends to breakout easily because oil clogs the pores of the skin

user259867

Actually, I'm in the market for skin cream currently. Cold weather -> dry, irritated hand skin. Any recommendations?

DroidDev

@InfiniteRecursion ok, thanks :D

@WeaponofChoice when encountered with this situation, I just rub my hands a bit on my head. My hair oil does the rest of job :P

I might even take a shower today...

Shadow Wizard

@InfiniteRecursion shower? aren't we talking about hand cream? :D

DroidDev

@InfiniteRecursion you can also try cream on top of boiled milk as skin cream, it's even a medicine for lips

or just try it for lips, when they get all torn up in winter

SilentKiller

@DroidDev maska. :D

Infinite Recursion

@ShadowWizard it started from there and reached hand cream...

DroidDev

@InfiniteRecursion and then hair oil and then milk cream...

Infinite Recursion

11:31 AM

@DroidDev I take very good care of my skin, so I never suffer from lip problems either

SilentKiller

now topic will move to lipsticks.

Shadow Wizard

@SilentKiller I never used lipstick (the makeup)

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard me neither

SilentKiller

Q: I'm seeing stars! (I can see who starred a message and so can you)

So I was making a chatbot in Ruby for SE chat, and I discovered that I could find out the starrer of a message. I'm pretty sure stars, like votes, are supposed to be anonymous. Although this knowledge would help for cases of star trolls like this. Here's the specific slice of code that do...

Ehm, guys, I have an very old flag on SO that was resolved when a answer was edited, but the flag's not been taken care of yet. Is there anything I can do about that?

ProgramFOX

@Cerbrus No, flags cannot be cancelled.

You'll just have to wait until a moderator sees the flag.

Cerbrus

I was afraid that might be the case

ProgramFOX

Then they will mark it as helpful or declined, that depends on whether they've seen the edit history.
