Hi
 
There are no humans in this room @Inf. You should know that by now
 
8:09 PM
Bye
 
You don't want to welcome me back?!
The people I expected to see are absent, just some robots
 
beep boop
 
Are you the guy whom our mods have kicked for excessive pinging twice already?
 
Are you confusing him with Revious @JanDvorak?
 
perhaps
oh. Are you the monologue guy?
 
8:15 PM
Hahaha, I think I missed something.
 
yes @bart
 
@JanDvorak it was some weeks ago. Why? and what is the way speaking?!!
 
@JanDvorak Are you ok?

8:16 PM
Sorry for the confusion. NVM then.

How did I end up in Shadow's Den?
 
Oh I forgot how I hate you ;)
 
*hated
 
^ yep
 
I looked for to see some people here, and they are absent! their treat was very shameful

@Bart wizardry
 
But I also had some questions, is there anyone here I can ask?
 
8:21 PM
@InfiniteHappiness should have guessed
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza answered your q on lifehacks.
 
@rene How are you?
@Bart How your doing?
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand downvoted :(
 
Welcome to LifeHacks @LynnCrumbling :D
 
8:23 PM
Fine @Ahmad.
 
@LynnCrumbling I didn't dv, my friend who has a dog says it's a bad idea.
 
@InfiniteHappiness Meh.
@Moosemaniseatingpizza For the dog or for the jar? (grin)
 
I didn't dv, just thought of welcoming you :)
 
OK have fun, as I thought I made some connection to this room but I mistook!
 
@InfiniteHappiness @Moosemaniseatingpizza Posted a "lighten up" response.
@nicael oh.. cool... your suggested edit just appeared for me..
@nicael I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
 
8:33 PM
Ana Havesi replied, it was regarding my profile deletion. Nothing bad, phew! :D
 
....ok night
 
....ok night
 
....ok night
 
@InfiniteHappiness ah i flagged your profile..are they taking action ? :P

@InfiniteHappiness sigh haters gonna hate.

@rene heißt für mich ohne SO auskommen, Termine :(

Note to idiots (eg buzzfeed): Defying gravity isn't a thing. Magnets! Ugh.
 
cough mobile site @bummi cough
@rene :D
@bjb568 cause gravity is just a theory, right?

@Moosemaniseatingpizza Ugh.. I tire of your friend wasting my time with off-topic comebacks :-(

I'd take a humongous lump of coal instead.
 
@bummi veileicht ist das echten leben besser? This is it. I'm not using my Deutsch enough to be any good at it ... ;)
 
Sure, but a slight dependence has unfortunately crept
 
@rene Mein Deutsch ist auch nur Rudi Carrell Deutsch.
 
lol
 
@Bart klingt zumindest für Deutsche aber nett :)
 
8:44 PM
Why thank you good Sir. I can read it, I understand it, but I haven't used it in such a long time now that it's all rather rusty.
 
So cringeworthy
 
sure
and you're welcome
 
@Bart Ganz genau!
 
I like the new user hidden avatar, it's so cute

hiya bobboubka, welcome :)
 
8:54 PM
@JanDvorak is it possible to del a question that had a bounty on it?
 
Apparently
 
@JanDvorak huh. imagine that.
 
Delvote at least
 
user259867
@LynnCrumbling Bounty prevents closing (hence deletion by regular users), but only while it's active. After that, it's not a factor.
 
oh. Wait. NVM. The question I'm looking at isn't bountied.

user259867
The score of the question and the top answer factor into the required number of delvotes, however.
 
@JanDvorak HAHAHAAHAHAHA
@JanDvorak And for that, you get starred!
 
user259867
Yes. SE seems to be scraping the bottom of Area 51 pool.
 
@LynnCrumbling Who?
 
8:57 PM
@Moosemaniseatingpizza I was thinking it was MattS; perhaps I'm wrong?
 
@LynnCrumbling Uhuhuhu...sure
 
@JanDvorak Zero left :(
 
@LynnCrumbling idk who he is outside of se...
 
@JanDvorak needs 5 more...
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza Ah, ok. That user posted the same comment that your friend said; I thought they were one-in-the-same. My mistake.

Get moar repz @Frank :P
 
@InfiniteHappiness waiting for it. :)
 
9:05 PM
@Moosemaniseatingpizza Yeah - I thought ("your friend" == "MattS")
 
I haven't a clue...
 
@InfiniteHappiness Yes, I made myself scarce.
He doesn't know I changed my dp I think.
 
OFFENSIVE! meta.stackoverflow.com/a/278842/2371861 (insults flaggers saying that they are bad programmers)

@LynnCrumbling I know Matt S.

Most of the posts on MSO were bad today, I hope someone posts something good there.

If we poke him a bit more @rene, I think I can call it a day.
 
@bjb568 why offensive, lively controversial discussion
 
9:11 PM
The comments move in a different direction @bummi
Does my fish slapping room still exist? I should direct more people to it.
 
@Bart sad that people can not turn off
 
@Bart It got renamed but yes: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/807/…
 
@Bart your fish slapping room was a terrible idea
 
I agree @InfiniteHappiness. The pay-per-view model wasn't nearly as profitable as I expected it to be.

9:21 PM
@Frank Is that OP as snarky there?
 
@LynnCrumbling Not at all - great fellow.
 
@Frank Ok... unsure what happened here, then.
 
@LynnCrumbling where?
 
@Frank Encounters like that make me just want to delete my answer and stop wasting my time.
 
@Bart I would have taken it as the final insult of the day...
 
9:28 PM
@LynnCrumbling He has a point, but I wouldn't delete the answer, because you haz one too.
 
@LynnCrumbling, after my first 15 minutes in there, I too felt the same. I won't be returning to that site anytime soon :/
 
Phlume's on there too.
I know him.
 
@Frank Yeah.. I'll probably leave it and just not respond.
@InfiniteHappiness The difficulty is that I'm used to sites that aren't subjective.
 
that ^^^^

A: How can I clean a vase that I can't reach inside?

J. MusserThere is a tool I use for these cases: You can fit it into almost any vase, even if the neck curves. Letting the vase sit with hot soapy water in it for a while can help too.

My first answer
 
only 3 periods in that wall of text
even if i wanted to read it i would need to take a big breath
 
@LynnCrumbling me too...
@Frank that user writes posts with lowercase i's lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/51/…
It's a bit inconvenient to read
 
@InfiniteHappiness Perhaps I'm overreacting and I just need to be a bit more fluid?
 
...or that site isn't for techies like us...
 
10:08 PM
Great. The site now has a question on removing blood from both coloured and white clothing .... see there the launch of SerialKillers.SE
 
BREAKING NEWS HATS CAN BE ROTATED FOR WINTER BASH 2014
"turn your hat sideways and place it in the bottom left" -- testing bug fixes like a boss!
 
You still need the question of "How do I remove blood from carpet?"
 
Or the classic "removal of a thick mist of blood spatter from the inside of my car"
 
user259867
@Doorknob冰 Old news, see the title-text of the screenshot in this answer.
 
"Does paint cover blood splatters on the wall?"
 
10:12 PM
"How can I easily fill the gunshot holes in my wall before leaving my appartment?"
It was at this very moment that Bart realized he would become Lifehacks.SE's most promiment troll
 
Toothpaste and paint. For an added bonus, that might answer my question too
 
@Doorknob冰 A leak!
 
"One of my developers seems to leak. How can I repair this for less than $50?"

Let's not forget bladder control. That's pretty important too.
 
This question appears to be off-topic because it is not about a problem that would require a lifehack to solve. — Matt S. 35 secs ago
 
10:18 PM
@bjb568 oh come on ... how can you not go troll that question?
 
10:34 PM
 
10:48 PM
 
@bummi just close it as too broad
in the case the other question gets deleted, you don't have a dangling duplicated
 
@Braiam lets keep the chain, some more a are depending e.g. stackoverflow.com/questions/27387008/…
 
@bummi that's not a good example...
actually, that makes my delete finger itch
 
@Braiam yes, I'm dangling between delete and apply for historical lock
just since these questions will return an will need a close targed.
 
@bummi the perfect close target is "POB", it sends the message "you should not ask those kind of questions here"
with time, you will not see them at all
 
10:59 PM
@Braiam ok, just to late for my vote, I voted for dupe before

@Moosemaniseatingpizza Aren't you done that pizza yet?
 
Question: do we ever get the rep gained from upvotes after hitting 200?
@LynnCrumbling 30 days until I can change my name, I'm afraid. Until then...
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza Isn't that 200 per day?
 
Yes. I hit 200 today, but have gotten more upvotes. Will I get that rep in the future, or is it vaporized?
 
11:05 PM
@Moosemaniseatingpizza No, that would defeat the whole point of the repcap.
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza No more rep for you today (other than bounty).
@Moosemaniseatingpizza No, you won't see it.
@Moosemaniseatingpizza Add comments: "Please wait to upvote my questions/answers until tomorrow!!!" <grin>
 
@LynnCrumbling 53 mins...
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza Yep, UTC in 52.
 
@LynnCrumbling ಠ_ಠ
 
@AnnaLear better?
 
11:09 PM
@Moosema rep from upvotes is capped at 200, after that the only way to keep getting more rep is with checkmarks and bounties
note that if you hit the rep cap from accepts only, the same applies
 
@LynnCrumbling haha I don't even disagree about that...
 
@AnnaLear :) Wasn't sure if someone had flagged it for use of the phrase.
 
Nah, I was referring to your "add comments" suggestion :)
 
@AnnaLear Ohh! hahhahahahaha. Yeah. Sadly, I'm willing to bet someone, at some point, has added that comment to an SO post.
 
Oh, it's happened on multiple sites at this point.
Kind of sad and hilarious at the same time.
 
11:11 PM
gasp! It's a @YiJiang!
 
@AnnaLear Is all of this craptastic whether up in NYC too, or are you actually getting snow?
 
user259867
@Braiam Wait, what about accepts? I thought they were completely exempt from capping?
 
@LynnCrumbling Just rain so far. We'll see what tomorrow brings - the forecast went back and forth between rain and snow a few times now.
 
@AnnaLear Our forecast keeps threatening freezing rain and sleet. So far it's been rain. I'd much rather just have snow. At least then you know what you're driving on.
 
Indeed. Or, in the case of living in NYC, which shoes you need to wear because some of them really have no traction. :)
 
11:16 PM
@AnnaLear Does the frozen slop impact subways in any way? (directly or indirectly?)
 
Tends to slow things down. Not all lines are fully underground, so things tend to get jacked up a bit in a bad storm.
plus going down stairs to get into a station gets more interesting
 
@AnnaLear That's what I was thinking of the - the ones that are exposed.
@AnnaLear Hadn't thought of that. Slip 'n slide :)
 
it really doesn't snow that badly here, though (compared to, say, Canada or the more northern states)
Apparently last winter was really bad and I barely noticed vs what I was used to in Ontario. :)
 
The privileges that I inherited just from the association bonus are crazy. 100 and I'm an established user.
Someone dropped a zero off of all of these.
 
Private beta privileges are dialed way down.
 
11:19 PM
@AnnaLear Ontario gets a lot?
 
Assuming you're talking about Lifehacks.
 
@AnnaLear yep.
 
@LynnCrumbling Varies by the area a bit, but quite a bit, yeah.
 
ok.. speaking of driving .. it's time.
'night all.
 
see ya
 
11:22 PM
night all again

A: If I break a window, How can I keep out cold air while I buy another?

MastDuct-tape My personal favourite for a lot of 'let's fix this quick-and-dirty' situations. No cutting involved, again available at most hardware stores. It's quite strong and will hold a lot of wind. Applying multiple layers is usually a good idea to keep it airtight.

Can't all questions be closed as dup of a canonical duct tape one? :P
 
user259867
No, there should also be one about WD-40. Then close everything else.
