Animuson got hired!

Congrats @animuson!
Oh, everybody has ignored me, of course.
@Woodface I just noticed there's a review history link :p

Should all the controls always be there for consistency, but greyed out when not applicable?
Should I ask ^ on UXSE?
Yes.
yea, use proper english though

@Woodface wait, where'd you find his title?
@Roombatron5000 animuson has taken over the Community User?
user259867
@hichris123 At twitter.com/animuson
@Woodface where did you see animuson's ? i couldn't find him on about page yet
00:23
@Roombatron5000 ^^^^
user259867
The combination of "specialist" and "operations" sounds ominous.
Rumour has it, when Shog was a young lieutenant, it was his assignment to Special Operations that resulted in his severed head.

so this must mean they'll need to have an SO election soon, since animuson won't be able to help out as much there now

Well, we are having elections in April.
like who would want to go clean the floors of their workplace after they clock out?
00:29
animuson, obviously.
"Community Growth Operations Specialist (animuson)" - Is he like, special ops, but instead of killing you he makes you exercise and drink a lot of milk or something?
@JasonC it means he hooks up stack exchange users to go on dates, that will hopefully lead to a baby, thus growing the community
Nice. Does he use CloudFlare for that?

Q: Should controls be removed or just greyed out in a tool for power-users where they repeat many times?

bjb568This answer by JohnGB on "Greyed-Out vs Invisible" by Joel B kind of touches on the idea, but this question focuses specifically on a moderation tool for power users. Should buttons that don't apply (e.g. voting to delete a post that's already deleted) be greyed out or completely removed? The sc...

Have any of you guys ever used an induction cooker? I just got one out of curiosity to compare to my gas range. I can't decide how I feel about it.
The results are in. It's the awesomest thing ever.
Turns out they make kick-ass deep fryers
00:37
/me wants a induction cooktop.
@bjb568 What's crappy about it?
I dunno. I just assume I can't write well.
I got an 89% last quarter
so cloose :(
@ɥʇǝS The counter top ones are super affordable (amazon.com/1800-Watt-Portable-Induction-Cooktop-Countertop/dp/…), but you'll probably want to invest in some tri-clad pots and pans. Or if you have a cast iron pan.
@hichris123 ...
But the gas range is still unrivaled for searing, or at least I'm really used to it, I rarely use the pan on it. It's great for boiling water, heating oil, making pasta.
00:39
@JasonC hey that's not bad!
@bjb568 That means you only 11% suck at writing. Seems reasonable. I'm sure @tchrist would be happy to convert your quote marks for you though.
my… quote marks?

everybody saw anyways @hichris123
00:48
@Braiam Oh, I would never. Besides, do you know how long it took me to find, copy, and paste those?
Yeah and we won't forget what we saw.
oh no!
Has Amazon always been blue? I thought it was yellow.
They switched to the dark blue top bar thing a few weeks ago.
@animuson eww
also, bad marketing idea
@Roombatron5000 *275 thousand
00:50
Man, I'm not really feeling it. Not that it matters. Every time I visit the site I accidentally buy something anyways.
user259867
*9 million.
@JasonC animuson has a wish list
Like just now after digging up that link for Seth I've purchased, uh, a watering fountain for the cats, two oven mitts, and a 20-pack of RJ45 connectors. Help.
I don't even remember clicking anything. I think it just confirms your purchase on mouse over.

It's so weird seeing @animuson being non-blue
Now @animuson is blue again, @Undo!

Is there any correlation between patient and patience. As in patient's usually have to wait a lot. Is this just a coincidence? Couldn't find on ELU. Someone start question there?
user259867
@Roombatron5000 Without patience you'll never be a doctor.

Without patient, no doctor is needed.
@hichris123 yay, order has been restored to the universe.

re: VLQ, what do you think of this answer? android.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/83186
@undo now smokey could just ping @animuson each time?
Morning
since Shog's post on MSO, I'd think it's a comment since it's a shaky attempt to answer (e.g. "try fooing the bar"), but if I remove the "try", it's an answer albeit low-quality (by definition of VLQ)

user259867
@AndrewT. I saw it but didn't flag NAA. By Android Enthusiasts standards it's not that bad. Maybe the OP indeed has something disabled in those settings.
01:15
@Roombatron5000 Oh right, @animuson can nuke mSE spammers.
and drupal spammers
@Woodface point taken, thanks.

If I proofread all of 175 joojaa's answers on Graphic Design (like this one), I'd have enough rep to vote in mod election.

@JasonC I didn't see it :(
@Roombatron5000 yes we love @animuson so much we should send him a dozen pings a day about MSE spammers :D:D
That's what I do to Shog.
@SantaClaus Yeah... and I forgot what it was.
01:21
I'm the only one to have reviewed in H&I today, and I'm already up to 20.
Why pick and choose, when you could ping all the moderators!
@AstroCB i reviewed a lot, did like 8 or so low quality flags
Why do people star faces? That just doesn't make sense..
@ɥʇǝS i starred a reaction
I was just wondering the same thing. I'm just going to star it because everybody else did.
01:22
@Roombatron5000 Oh, right – those don't count as a review action (for whatever reason).
@Roombatron5000 ah, well in that case +1.
@JasonC Peer pressure
Man, I don't mind downvotes, but un-upvotes are just cruel.
4
life is cruel.
Pure javascript is cruel @bjb568
01:26
I'm not sure I agree.
nuuuuuuuuuuu
Well
I think there is a lot to be said for Vanilla JS, but I also think there is a lot to be said for jQuery.
@ɥʇǝS I sure hope you would agree if you saw @bjb568's argument
01:26
@ɥʇǝS Life is hilariously cruel. Good fun every day.
I did ;)
yay
And it didn't make any sense..
nuu
@JasonC how about un-stars? :P
01:27
Hey I saw that.
Yeah. I slouched in my chair a little. Thanks.

@Andy Looks spam-like. Question author has posted an answer in the past, doesn't seem like seed. Also that nexmo service actually has its own tag on SO, so at least it seems somewhat legit.
In any case its a crap question.

it's a weird image to use, if it's not a spam edit
but pretty dumb to use an obvious advert
user259867
Wait... that image was there from the beginning, but as a link. The editor just wanted to embed it, as is often done.
user259867
Still ridiculous, given the image.
nah, have a look, the imgur parameters are different
but the image is the same, he uploaded it once again since he's using image toolbar
user259867
05:49
And the image does illustrate the kind of progress bar the OP wants. So... not spam.
ahh I see
user259867
But still better as a link than as a giant ad inside a post.
well, I admit my fault, since the image is ridiculously suspicious
me too
as soon as I saw it, I thought spam
