Unihedro

The bookmark @Gemtastic

Gemtastic

They're discussing doorknob's question on parenting

Doorknob 冰

Also Google.

And advertising.

And... stuff in general. :P

Unihedro

10:08 PM

And Parenting.SE

It's like participating in a podcast.

Gemtastic

That question though made me a little worried for doorknob though

Unihedro

The ones where people pull out their phone and pour nonsense.

Gemtastic

@Unihedro Isn't that what I always do?

;P

bjb568

@Unihedro We should actually do that some time, sounds fun.

@bjb568 Soundcloud free accounts aren't unlimited in hours.

@Unihedro Whatever, it isn't hard to host audio.

Eg apache.

bjb568

Nah, we would call that meta.

Gemtastic

@Unihedro that would be fun. I could draw the art

bjb568

Anyway, how would we record a podcast?

Gemtastic

ventrilo or mumble?

Or... skype?

orrr

Unihedro

Code a conference on html5

Gemtastic

10:17 PM

we let microsoft sam read it

Unihedro

you're a programmer right

Gemtastic

Me?

bjb568

You.

Gemtastic

Well... I don't know what you mean by "a conference" nor how that'd solve the recording issue

Unihedro

Yes.

@Unihedro Goodnight, and have a wonderful evening.

@Behaviour lol

@Unihedro The SE podcasts are actually really funny.

hichris123

@Behaviour chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/89/conversation/… is one of the best

@bjb568 Isn't that a customary ending of a TV show? And/or if you want to go the presidential way...

Gemtastic

Waaaiitaminnut... @Uni, it's like 4 or 5 am. Are you still up?

hichris123

@Gemtastic Who are you talking to?

bjb568

@hichris123 s/god/FSM

Gemtastic

@hichris123 The not youngest teen in here

Unihedro

@Gemtastic Yes because you just pinged me. So I woke up.

bjb568

10:29 PM

…

Turn sound off.

Gemtastic

@Unihedro yes you fell asleep in 9 min :O

bjb568

@Gemtastic It's possible.

Unihedro

@bjb568 Did just now. Also it's actually 6.29, school in two.

bjb568

@Unihedro SLEEP!

Gemtastic

@bjb568 yeah, but given the time uni mentioned... he could just as well be up early

bjb568

10:32 PM

@Gemtastic Still better to sleep than not in most cases.

hichris123

Gemtastic

Maybe the ping-filtrating app for uni should be my android project...

@bjb568 Did I say otherwise? :)

bjb568

@Gemtastic idk

Gemtastic

@bjb568 I know Uni from the Java chat, I nag him to go to bed a lot :P

bjb568

@Gemtastic Develop a bot to turn off his computer.

Yay stars!

bjb568

Poll: are you satisfied with your performance last semester?

Unihedro

No, but I don't really care.

bjb568

GOTO BED

Doorknob 冰

I'm confused

what is "sleep"

Gemtastic

@hichris123 I'd probably be in more luck becoming a moderator on all SE sites and block uni when he needs to sleep rather that get him to use that bot :P

bjb568

10:36 PM

@Gemtastic I'D VOTE FOR YOU

Gemtastic

SLEEP BAN!

bjb568

@Gemtastic "goto bed"

@Unihedro Sigh, fine, no bed for you!

You shall not sleep!

Unihedro

But...

bjb568

hopes the reverse sociology will work

Gemtastic

10:38 PM

@bjb568 Goto is a protected word in Java, maybe that's why uni has such a problem to goto bed ;P

Oh, I better get a screenshot of me wearing a pirate hat.

@Doorknob冰 I'm trying to get that one also. Want to vote on some of my answers? :P

Gemtastic

@Doorknob冰 is this sarcasm? *This room has nothing whatsoever to do with criticizing moderators behind their backs. We don't mock stupid things "the community" does either. *

Doorknob 冰

10:45 PM

@Gemtastic ... no, really?

bjb568

Better test out all my hats now!

Gemtastic

@Doorknob冰 more like, I looked at that link and it looks like a lot of bad stuff about people are being said

bjb568

Anyone made a userscript to keep hats after Winterbash?

Doorknob 冰

10:49 PM

@Gemtastic Yeah, we should probably get @Shog9 or someone to nuke the last few ones, which were... actually quite abusive.

@bjb568 You should... probably delete those. They're kind of insulting.

bjb568

@Doorknob冰 It's too late anyhoo, but I served my 30m suspension.

WHICH WAS TOTALLY UNJUST, BTW

:P

Hm… unjust not injust.

Hi shog.

Shog9

I think bjb should have to flag each message he doesn't want haunting him for moderator attention before someone flags them the other way at arbitrary times...

I mean, unless he wants Doorknob to have the ability to suspend him without warning.

bjb568

Gemtastic

Hater's gonna hate, moderators gonna moderate :D

You're expanding the permissions, shog?

@Unihedro Is this epic rap battles?

Shog9

I'm not saying I'd necessarily validate "offensive" flags on any of those messages... But, I'm not saying I wouldn't either.

I just got 56 Charmeleon hats.

user259867

In recent weeks, there is not much to become enraged by. Meta users are slacking off.

bjb568

^^^ tags on:hover

Should it be 2015 or a range?

Does it matter?

Shog9

@Behaviour I blame bjb for this too. He's clearly been spending too much time offering services in exchange for hats to focus on his strengths.

A: Is it important to show the current year alongside my (c) Copyright symbol?

The date is supposed to be when it was published. So if content is ongoing then it could be a range or it could be the date of the most recent revision. If the site has had no changes then it should be the earliest date. Some people prefer it to be recent to look fresh, others prefer to make it...

I love this Google thing. Hope no one else discovers it.

bjb568

@Shog9 Uh… blame Jon Ericson for suspending me without giving an actual reason. More details in the email which should actually not be ignored.

Unihedro

selfish shog

Shog9

On a completely unrelated note, y'know what always gets me? The folks who have serious concerns about their suspensions and then waste their one reply on some knee-jerk response.

bjb568

Read the email instead.

It's still flamey of course.

Shog9

It's my weekend. I'll read flaming user emails during work hours like everyone else.

bjb568

Do people actually read those?

Awesome!

I don't read mine. But that's not my problem. IMAP doesn't work.

Shog9

We get a lot of emails. And read many of them. Even reply to a few.

Unihedro

11:10 PM

On a completely unrelated note, why does "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same ? Weird to have it that way.

A: Why are not "infamous" and "inflammable" the opposite of "famous" and "flammable"?

(Just to be contrarian.) The word infamous is the opposite of famous! Just as the opposite of reputed is disreputed rather than obscure, and the opposite of hot is cold rather than not hot, the opposite of famous (having "good" fame) is infamous (having "bad" fame, having infamy, ill-famed). Th...

Shog9

bjb568

@bjb568 It makes as little sense as when Jon Ericson said we should only offer encouragement to those attempting to get hats because hats are a fun positive thing…

And of course abuse isn't possible.

And of course LRiO only needs more encouragement.

Unihedro

11:15 PM

Yep.

bjb568

And of course I was in the wrong for leaving a harmless comment which might offended or even dissuade LRiO.

Y'know what they say about people who talk to themselves and aren't me.

Homeroom

Homeroom or advisory is the classroom session in which a teacher records attendance and makes announcements. It can also be called Registration or Planning Period. The concept is used in schools around the world. == Afghanistan == In Afghanistan home room concept ( نگران) is widely used in the schools. The home room teacher is responsible for almost everything concerning his class. At the start of the school year, it's the homeroom teacher's responsibility to make sure that everyone of his or her students get school stuff (like book, notebooks) that are provided by government. At they very start...

Adipocere /ˈædɨpɵsɪər/, also known as corpse, grave or mortuary wax, is a wax-like organic substance formed by the anaerobic bacterial hydrolysis of fat in tissue, such as body fat in corpses.
