A. Because everyone else was already there.

I'm just gonna tell Pham to reflect everything here, then. Since he crossed the road already, so I've been told.

Q: Defining Local Variable const vs Class const

Stealth RabbiIf I am using a constant that is needed only in a method, is it best to declare the const within the method scope, or in the class scope? Is there better performance declaring it in the method? If that is true, I think it's more standard to define them at class scope (top of file) to change the v...

Q: Add Web Apps SE to Migration dialog

MoosemanWe get a lot of "questions" (such as this one) that are blatantly off-topic on Stack Overflow, but are on-topic at Web Applications Stack Exchange. Please add Web Apps to the Migration dialog.

damn :D

A: Why do the client and server sides of StackExchange use different abbreviations for time spans?

Nick CraverWell that sucks! We have no clue why it's different - I'm sure at some point there was a reason. In the next build the base page will also use the "mins" format like other question lists to.

Q: How to clean off my touchscreen without baby swipes?

BraiamThere´s no baby swipes, because... there´s no baby and buying some to just seems wrong, but my screen is still dirty with my oily fingers. I know how to fix the fingers but the screen is still dirty. How can I can clean it off without damaging the screen?

dupe somewhere for sure, I saw similar question...
for monitors
saw it, and since there´s no baby swipes....
swipes? :D

Q: Review Link in Navigation Bar shouldn't appear on Meta at 500 Rep

nicaelI have more than 500 rep and able to review First Posts and Late Answers on the main site. But on Meta I can't review anything yet. There are no First Posts and Late Answers review queues there. Why do I need to see the link in the top bar if there is nothing for me to review? If I have more th...

Q: MSO Review Queue Privileges are Misleading

WendiKiddWhen I visit Stack Overflow, I see the review option in the bar at the top of the screen. However when on MSO, I don't see it. I assumed this was because I didn't have enough reputation to access the queue. I was curious what the requirement was on meta, so I moseyed on over to the privileges ...

ahh my hat... :(
@nicael I gave it an edit
@Shog9 This applies to all the per site metas, thats what I mean.

Q: Why can't we see who reviewed our flags?

Mooseman is eating pizzaI would like to be able to see who reviewed my flags. Whether is is a diamond mod reviewing a custom-reason flag or the users who reviewed a naa flag in the queue.

@Shog9 No, I mean per-site metas.

Q: Dupehammer causes comment notifications

Mooseman is eating pizzaThe dupehammer is a good system. But when a gold badge holder closes a question, the OP gets a "possible duplicate of" comment notification.

user259867

@TGMCians If the whitelist works the same as blacklist, it records the user account (site/userid), not the display name itself.
user259867
I.e., you whitelisted the user, not his name.
ahh ok :)

Yeah, I ran out of items before I used all of my reviews so that seems about right
@bummi I can't but maybe @ShadowWizard can help?
would be a endless story in CMS
Yeah, but easy close voting...
@bummi should we rollback that last edit? (on the question)
and/or extract it to an answer post

user259867
@hichris123 ..... and that is surprising????
22:31
@hichris123 What an interesting behavior on his part.
@Fundamental No, just confusing my memory. ;)
@Pops lolyeah. Well I do some commercial landscapes so I know why they go around with leaf blowers. We're done that already here.
user259867
Hm, this may be a use case for a userscript that renames chat users based on their ids. Can assign any name you want. Using Chrome storage, if it's a Chrome extension.
I never "got" leafblowers, since I'd always see folks using them in their grass yards. "Why not just rake?" I would think. Then I had to get leaves off of a gravel yard...
@hichris123 If it is, you can expect a really cheap house to show up on the... whatever the slang word for real estate market is, tomorrow afternoon.
22:33
Hi @WarmFuzzies/@Raff/@Behavior/@whateveryournameis!
@Pops You do at least have swords at Community Team meetings (when they're in person)? :P
Or sticks to poke people with?
(but not sharp sticks of course!)
@hichris123 Huh, I've been doing it wrong the whole time.
@Shog9 I use them for all kinds of bed cleanup, especially getting leaves out of groundcover beds, but also blowing dirt, grass seed, fertilizer, etc off folks' driveways after moving the truck, and for cleaning off lawn mowing equipment.
I've complained about leafblowers there already. Apparently someone on the team has past experience, and the people I'm seeing are Doing It Wrong by not bagging what they're blowing around quickly. No big surprise.
@Frank I suppose, once you got it handy there are no end of uses. Now you can add "annoying Pops" to the list.
Jul 18 '14 at 17:18, by Pops
@hichris123 It was my understanding that I would not be poked with any sharp sticks as a Stack Exchange employee. Your request for room unfreezing has been put on indefinite hold until HR completes its investigation.
22:36
@Shog9 Yah.
in The Nineteenth Byte on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, Aug 20 '14 at 15:02, by Doorknob
I'm poking more people with sharp sticks to figure out if there would be something like a hard limit on answer count, if we do go with the "no retiring sandboxes" thing.
... lesson of the day: if you poke people with sharp sticks, HR gets involved and ties up your request.
Okay, so it looks like I didn't actually go through with the sharp stick thing. :P
@Pops You guys should hire me to do groundskeeping around there
:D
If only it were up to me.
22:38
Their hiring page claims that no sharp sticks will be involved, so...
@Doorknob Ooh, not good
:D
a past office had this great room built for acoustics testing. Soundproof walls, ceiling and floor, sealed door, mounted on springs. I think that's what Pops needs.
If only. I have a secondary complaint. My laptop is making a barely perceptible whine.
Actually today I was brick-laying, so I only used the leaf blower to clean up crushed rock.

Whining Room

This room is for whining in. All manner of QQ will be tolerated.
Go whine about your whine in the whining room!
22:39
It is a conspiracy, I tell you.
@Frank Wait, that works? Huh, learned something new today.
Then, I washed it down with a hose, and it was so cold the water froze on to the brick staircase I'd just made.
in Whining Room, 9 secs ago, by Doorknob
I will now proceed to whine about @hichris123 whining about @Pops whining about his laptop whining about who knows what.
Now it's slippery.
I told the folks to stay off til it wasn't shiny :D
Must resist... urge to change... Doorknob's name... to Xzibit....
22:41
@hichris123 Depends on the blower. I have a hand-held, two backpack blowers and a huge backpack blower
yo dawg I heard you like whining
this room is filled with whinnies
I'm not a whinny xD
@Shog9 Those things don't have a catalytic converter so only good in an open area.
Cool tho
22:43
@Frank Which one did you use for today?
@hichris123 One of the backpack blowers.
@Shog9 Huh, cool. I swear I watched that episode of Mythbusters now...
@Frank next you're gonna tell me not to use it for cleaning under furniture
@Shog9 lolyeah. That answer is actually a bad idea
Leafblowers are also great if you're constipated.
22:49
I was about to post inb4 Bart... I see I was late
@Frank Just like all other answers on LH?
@Doorknob I have some answers on there too.
So there are some good ones
no, actually, I think there are quite a few cool ideas on there
@SmokeDetector THAT IS THE MOST INCREDIBLY USELESS TITLE I HAVE EVER SEEN
@Doorknob I bet I can find less useful ones
22:52
Way to go Undo
You are so good at finding useless things...
Argh, I really need edit privs on AU. I have more rep on Parenting than on AU, Unix & Linux, and Android combined. :/ (not counting assoc bonus)

@Doorknob THE QUESTION ITSELF IS PRETTY MISLED TOO
Apparently I'm also a "top new Parenting user" according to this annoying automatic email Stack Exchange sent me.
22:53
@Doorknob You'd make a .. weird parent.
uhhh. @Doorknob has little knobs already?
user259867
@Doorknob The title has some information, "new to Ubuntu". I saw "CAN ANYONE HELP ME?" once.
@Braiam Lol, no, it was all from a single question asked as if I were a parent.
@Fundamental "YES"
What exactly is wrong with an image?
Like a character in a custom font inserted in a pseudo element via CSS on an italic element?
How SE can make bjb happy: all icons are SVG
22:57
Pekka's been asking questions on GL recently
@bjb568 Looks like something done via fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome, maybe. Not sure.
Haven't seen him for a while
@Braiam … and not an SVG font character inserted in a pseudo element via CSS on an italic element.
user259867
@bjb568 Isn't this a valid use of ::before, to include fancy "bullet points"?
@Fundamental It's not really a bullet point.
It's an image.
user259867
22:59
Any sufficiently fancy bullet point is indistinguishable from an image.
> a bullet ( • ) is a typographical symbol or glyph used to introduce items in a list
> An image (from Latin: imago) is an artifact that depicts or records visual perception, for example a two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some subject – usually a physical object or a person, thus providing a depiction of it.
You see, it's a delicate balance between bullet-point-fanciness and image-being-ness. I'm a scientist.
IOW, a bullet point does not convey meaning on its own, it only introduces items in a list.
Here's a question: What kind of clock is the more accurate than the most accurate working clock?
Is that a trick question?
@bjb568 That sounds like the typical terrible low quality question on Puzzling
23:09
Is the answer to this question no?
@Unihedro yes
@Frank Depends on what this is.
@Doorknob yes
It's one of those "a clock that stands still because it's absolutely correct twice a day" type deals I guess?
23:10
> wheather
I don't have enough helpers at GL.
That's, like... the worst of both worlds
@Doorknob :D
@Doorknob uh?
@Bart … maybe …
argh... I was trying to create a dotfiles repo and I copied all my .foorc's into it and then I wondered why ls was returning nothing...
23:19
bye bye dotfiles...?
No, it's because... they're dotfiles...
I'm sure you would be weeping if they were your 20 years of carefully customizing
I'm not sure how I could carefully customize longer than I've been alive, but sure. :P
