@InfiniteRecursion There's no "mandatory" anything. Consider that mods are expected to use their best judgement, so if the answer looks like it may be at all useful, you're making the decision harder. If you put in a comment and there's no response, that decision gets easier.

@Sam I win. See this vs. this.

Sam

@Frank Meh. Well, you have been around longer than me.

Frank

@Sam only a little over a year.

And I joined the Tavern first in August '14, right after Inf.

@Sam hag

Sam

@Frank I joined only a couple of months ago (I think).

@Frank Swag.

Wait, cough the den cough.

Frank

@Sam bag

@Sam Huh. I thought you were there when I joined.

Sam

19:24

@Frank Nope, I've been on SO for almost 2 years, but I only started chatting here in the last few months.

cVplZ

looks like @sam joined in August too

Frank

@Sam What was your first starred message?

Jason C

I think I might win for lowest activity:time ratio.

Interesting that chat keeps track of all the display names, unlike the sites.

Jason C

@cVplZ Oh nice.

Frank

Aug 4 '10 at 6:43, by Dexter

Okay I just looked at the oldest members profile: http://stackoverflow.com/users/5/jon-galloway and he has already been on SO for 2 years. It got me thinking shouldn't the yearling badge be yearly?

Frank

The highest starred things I starred are both by @Uni. :(

cVplZ

Oct 13 at 13:35, by Unihedron

Horror is when you find an old, unanswered question and want to write a decent post, so you do, but halfway the "1 new answer" banner appears. o_O

@JanDvorak 000 000 sorry, I beat ya

Jason C

19:51

God, the meta user profile and chat room info maze is so confusing...

Frank

@cVplZ Ha! That's funny...

How many flags do you get per day on SO?

is forgetful

I did 12 so far today, wonder how many I have left.

cVplZ

Aug 5 '10 at 9:37, by millenomi

mmmm; anyone other than me sees potential for star abuse (assuming all my starred comments also appear in your sidebar?)

user259867

@Frank It depends on your flag history and rep. (In your case, only on flag history).

user259867

The number slowly grows as you get more flags marked helpful.

user259867

The way to find out is to pretend to flag something.

Google will take my Div's out of my cold dead hands!

user259867

@Frank No, it shows how many you have left. In bottom right corner of flag dialog.

Frank

@justabrickinthewall It says 14 remaining...

20:02

Discovery of the day (much belated): API returns close vote counts on questions, not just up/down vote counts.

user259867

For those unhappy with Close Review Queue limit, this bookmarklet gives a list of newest possibly-closable questions (those with CV and DVs on them).

Frank

Why is there a missing number there^

user259867

I find this helpful on Math because of 50 CVs / 20 Reviews disparity. I think AU has the same thing, right @Braiam?

cVplZ

@Frank ~~probably still active?~~ no. I don't know

Frank

@cVplZ Nope, I have two still active. 1 ot and 1 tb, I think.

Braiam

20:08

@justabrickinthewall yes meta.askubuntu.com/a/8883/169736

Jan Dvorak

@Frank disputed, perhaps?

user259867

^^ AU does not want to downvote closable questions? (up : down : close). Or maybe they are all dupes.

Frank

@JanDvorak Shouldn't that show in the history?

Jan Dvorak

@Frank I think not

Frank

20:10

@JanDvorak Why not?

Jan Dvorak

@JanDvorak the general mod flags show disputed.

Jason C

the best thing that's happened to me in 2014 just happened to me

I found a new, faster way to slice kiwis

I can eat them so fast now.

Sterling Archer

Why do I recall something on imgur about that

Jason C

@SterlingArcher I don't know, but if there is something on imgur, it exists for a good reason.

Not that, but lol

Sterling Archer

Jason C

Oh man the thing I was talking about before was only the second best thing because THE CUP THING IS NOW THE BEST THING

Sterling Archer

@JasonC ... did I just invalidate your entire 2014?

Jason C

@SterlingArcher No you totally upgraded it

Sterling Archer

20:39

By breaking it down and making you realize "2014 sucked until just now"

:P Let me know if it worked, man

Jason C

Well it sucked until this morning, but now you made me realize that the time between this morning and now also sucked. I am going to buy more kiwis right now. Bbl.

Sterling Archer

lmao see ya

Braiam

@JasonC "THE CUP THING IS NOW THE BEST THING" I better don't repeat too much

jadarnel27

Dedicated consumers eat kiwi whole, without wasting time on "peeling" and junk.

Frank

@jadarnel27 fuzzy

Sterling Archer

20:46

I think a solid combiniation of the image above + a cup is in order

jadarnel27

@Frank Yes.

@jadarnel27 yup

@Mooseman Is there any reason you want to expedite the flag handling? Other than just not wanting to have the pending flags? If it's something pressing, you could always use the contact link to reach out to the SE team about it.

Jason C

I also discovered these awesome things called "sunshine raspberries"

Sterling Archer

Frank

@SterlingArcher I can eat 1 1/2 lbs of bacon in one meal.

@JasonC I weigh 215. But then, I'm 6' 3 1/2" tall, so still skinny.

Sterling Archer

I'm 6'3 195lbs

Jason C

21:19

I'm 6'0, lol.

Sterling Archer

Finally more muscle than fat

Bro do you even metabolize?!

Jason C

@SterlingArcher I don't even know how I'm alive

@JasonC I know!

Frank

@JasonC yeah, I meant if it was a side. If it was all I ate...

Shadow Wizard

Jason C

@Frank Nice cover up

Sterling Archer

Dat accuracy

Frank

@ShadowWizard featherweight...

Shadow Wizard

@Frank on 5.90551181 feet? not sure

Frank

@ShadowWizard How much can thee bench-press?

Shadow Wizard

21:21

@SterlingArcher blame Google, I have to convert

Sterling Archer

Dear Google, how dare you.

Shadow Wizard

@Frank these days? not much. when I was at gym 10 years ago I got to 50 kg, 110 lbs

Frank

@JasonC I know a guy who's 6' tall and weighs 130, so i can pretty much picture you,... you skeleton.

@ShadowWizard Ha ha that's featherweight.

Sterling Archer

To be fair I can only bench 135lbs comfortably

But I go to the gym errday

Jason C

@Frank I would love to gain weight. Even when I go through workout phases I get stronger but my muscles don't really get much bigger.

So I wear baggy clothes and pretend to be manly.

Frank

21:24

When I work out for real I gain >10-15 lbs/week.

Sterling Archer

I tend to replace weight more than gain weight. I would think I will start gaining (good) weight soon enough

I still have belly to lose, so that's why my weight is dropping

Frank

@SterlingArcher Haha, I can bench-press 385 lbs. No wonder I... never mind

Sterling Archer

...Are you a cloud?

Jason C

Lol a cloud

Frank

@SterlingArcher Huh?

No.

Sterling Archer

Sterling Archer

Frank

@ShadowWizard Oh cool!

@ShadowWizard but I can only do 5-8 reps.

Jason C

21:29

Why do they even counts lift with shirts as records

Frank

@SterlingArcher #meisnotacloud

Jason C

Like yeah I can bench 2400lbs, with my bench press hydraulic jack.

Sterling Archer

I just go to the park and lift people on benches

That's the natural way

Jason C

I just make a lot of bench juice

Frank

So weird, if I went back in time, i could become a world record holder!

My chest is only 42", though...

Jason C

21:32

If you print the record list and grab it you can become a world record holder too

Sorry guys I'm on this awful pun kick right now I'm going to go away from chat rooms and cool down

Sterling Archer

No idea what my chest is

Shadow Wizard

hmm... is this you, @Frank?

:D

Frank

@JasonC Ha, no, you're good.

Sterling Archer

But I'm a 34 waist and shrinking

Frank

@ShadowWizard No.

Why?

Jason C

21:33

@SterlingArcher It's that place where your boobs aren't

Frank

@SterlingArcher My waist is 30.

Shadow Wizard

@Frank just a J. Musser I found ;)

Frank

My jeans are 30-36. Very hard to buy.

Jason C

@Frank That's a tiny waste; I'm 31 and like half your size.

Dude I know; 30-anything is hard to buy. Also clothes from the 90's are hard to buy, and I'm stuck there. You can't find 31-30 cargo pants in real life anywhere.

Frank

@JasonC Yeah, /me is skinny at the waist and wide at the chest, rather funny looking if I dress wrong.

Jason C

21:37

I hope there are replicators like in star trek some day.

Then we can just be like "computer, pants"

Frank

@JasonC Ha!

@ShadowWizard That guy lives in Nevada.

Shadow Wizard

OK, so this guy fits your description much better!

Sterling Archer

Turns out 34/34 are pretty tough to find as well

Frank

@ShadowWizard I'm not that well toned...

Shadow Wizard

You know guys, I have no idea what is the size of my jeans

When I go shopping I let the shopkeeper decide and try some until it fits

rene

21:41

Above the age of 35 you really don't care...

Frank

@ShadowWizard which is absolutely fine

Sterling Archer

I thought that just meant you don't wear pants

2

Shadow Wizard

without pants, bad things are bound to happen ;(

Frank

@ShadowWizard That guy looks like a challenge.

Shadow Wizard

@Frank lol, good luck then! :D

rene

21:42

@ShadowWizard depends on location....

Shadow Wizard

@rene anywhere except at home, I guess... ;)

Jason C

@rene The location would typically always be the area below the waste

Sterling Archer

Sorry for dominating the stars, gents.

Tavern can't handle Duchess

Jason C

What's like, the style of pants now

I guess tight jeans?

Sterling Archer

Almost skinny but not "sit down and they're gonna rip" jeans

Frank

21:47

@JasonC Those are awful.

Jason C

Like if I were to see "That 2010's Show" in 40 years what would they wear?

Ugh

Frank

@JasonC I go to work in carpenter jeans.

Jason C

Hipster style I guess
