I've got to build up more rep on SO so I can actually close stuff...

user259867

But at least that question defines the terms.

Patrick Hofman

Hi

user259867

@anorton There are ample opportunities for downvote-to-delete, though. :P

anorton

True, but I feel so important when I vote to close...

I ran out of reviews in the cv queue on Math.SE when there were still 26 q's to review.

user259867

@anorton I don't know what happened there. All of a sudden someone dropped a bunch of votes or flags on not very new posts.

anorton

23:02

Yeah... that seems to happen every once in a while.

Shokhet

000 000 users approve this message.

I'm trying to get hatz on MSE < hint, hint >

Thanks! :D

Unihedro

Now your message broke.

anorton

You need to use spaces instead of commas, and make the number of digits a multiple of three.

Shokhet

@Unihedro I think it still works.

anorton

for instance, 000 000 users approve this message.

S.L. Barth

23:04

Happy new year everybody!

anorton

Then the spacing lines up.

S.L. Barth

(It's midnight over here now :-) )

Shokhet

@anorton I thought of that, but then a single star wouldn't work

Unihedro

IT's... 7am

user259867

@Shokhet DREAM BIG

user259867

23:04

not of a single star

Unihedro

@Shokhet Someone will add a double star to fix that, don't you worry!

Shokhet

@Behaviour :)

Unihedro

You're in the Tavern, where it's full of stars!

Shokhet

Fixed :)

S.L. Barth

@Unihedro Where are you, then? Over here I'm in NL.

user259867

23:05

S.L. Barth

(And in the tavern :-) )

user259867

^ joining @Unihedro

Unihedro

@S.L.Barth HKSAR - somewhere in asia

S.L. Barth

@Unihedro Ah, I see.

@hichris123 It's closed now.

Braiam

@Unihedro meh, just say Honk Kong and be done with it :P

Unihedro

23:09

@Braiam I was going to answer "Earth", and then snapped - it was not what they asked for

S.L. Barth

@Unihedro Technically correct though :-)

Braiam

@Unihedro who ever know what they want?

S.L. Barth

Well, if someone's unclear on chat, you can ask for clarification....

Unihedro

... Yes, I assumed.

Packet of ramen @Behaviour ^

user259867

@Unihedro Oh, I've had those too. Somehow the black stuff wasn't for me, or maybe the noodles were too thick for my taste. It's an interesting variety, though.

user259867

23:21

Hey @bjb568 are you back with us?

bjb568

I'm back!

user259867

^ timing!

Unihedro

Yay!!!

anorton

Yay!

bjb568

@JonEricson Not clear enough!

S.L. Barth

23:24

Hello @bjb568!

bjb568

Hi!

I can finally talk!

S.L. Barth

You were away for a while?

Jon Ericson

@bjb568 It's really not my place to say more.

bjb568

@S.L.Barth Suspended.

@JonEricson Whatever, if you want more complaint, you can read the email I sent :)

S.L. Barth

Sorry to hear that @bjb568.

hichris123

23:26

@bjb568 Did it have URGENT in the title?

:P

bjb568

@hichris123 There is no title field.

user259867

I'm sure there was thru in it.

bjb568

hichris123

@bjb568 If you actually send an email, there is.

bjb568

^^ Why is the box so small?

anorton

23:27

:D

bjb568

@hichris123 Oh, not actual enough.

Unihedro

@bjb568 That's not an email. ... ... It looks like the "contact us" box.

bjb568

Anyway, it appears the only damages have been to Jon Ericson's reputation. (cough 551)

@Unihedro It is.

Borked?

Probably not!

Yay, bot here now.

user259867

Jon Ericson

@bjb568 I don't go looking for trouble. It finds me.

hichris123

@bjb568 Seriously?

bjb568

@JonEricson Well, suspending a user without explaining why, when the purpose of suspension is for a user to improve their behavior seems like looking for trouble.

user259867

bjb568

23:32

That's what I see, if you were trying to send a different message, that didn't happen.

So… I'm going to eat sushi in UTC 2015, i.e. ~19:30 here.

After the stars and hats, of course :P

S.L. Barth

@bjb568 Very appropriate... a cat eating fish :-)

bjb568

Yup!

Yummy fishy!

SmokeDetector

@Behaviour ... did I miss something?

Braiam

23:38

@SmokeDetector yeah...

user259867

Did I misspell the mistletoe command? It had no effect above.

hichris123

@Behaviour There isn't one.

Braiam

@Behaviour who is the one that answers? isn't not doorknob?

hichris123

... right?

Braiam

mm... double negation

anorton

23:42

SmokeDetector

@anorton HATS ARE AWESOME. Winter Bash will end in 4 days, 0 hours, 18 minutes and 24 seconds. :(

user259867

^ That works; just ignore the days and subtract 5 minutes from the time..

Braiam

HA!

needs to think something star worthy for the 00:00

anorton

How about "don't star this!"

?

Braiam

too obvious

rene

23:44

busy in here...

anorton

@rene We're excited about the -new year- mistletoe hat!

Hm. How does one do "striked" text?

user259867

The strikethru is ~~triple dash~~

Unihedro

---this---

anorton

oh.

I was 1/3 of the way there.

Shokhet

@anorton --- on both sides

rene

sure.... and after that you'll all be gone and never to be seen again..

Braiam

@Shokhet s/either/both/

Shokhet

@Braiam Correct.

@Braiam though it either in this context could be correct also

anorton

@rene I'm afraid you guys are stuck with me for a while... :P

nicael

Interesting, oohh, interesting, what will happen at 0:00 utc? Just new year?

rene

23:46

hichris123

@AstroCB Your clock is broken.

bjb568

@nicael (till hats)

S.L. Barth

I wonder if messages have to be starred to count for the Mistletoe hat?

Braiam

@S.L.Barth yep

> post a chat message within five minutes of 0 UTC 1/1/2015 that gets starred

PeterJ

Braiam

If this weren’t chat, I couldn’t understand my own word.

Unihedro

This is an automated message. If you star this message, you are a great person for giving me Mistletoe hat and you deserve a cookie from ProgramFOX. Except, he's not with us right now. :(
