2:00 PM
@ShadowWizard Now, search for Ojés Zifnab ...
 
@UNIMATRIX424GRID116 starthere
> Your search - Ojés Zifnab - did not match any documents.
But I do know about Zifnab.
Read the books.
All seven.
I still wonder to this day if it was just a pun, on done because they were not legally allowed to use the same name.
(i.e. contracts with publishers)
 
@ShadowWizard That would be a little strange, first because they are the original creators of the character, second because it didn't stop them from having Haplo name appear in Dragon Lance...
 
@Derpy hmm... so likely a pun. Still, if different publishers it might also explain it from the legal aspect.
 
2:15 PM
 
@ShadowWizard I also think there is t least one mention of somebody called Majere in Death Gate...
 
@bjb568 recursive cat?
@Derpy really? Forgot about this one.... (read it looong ago, the Zifnab is just the thing I remember most :))
 
@ShadowWizard It is obviously just a regular cat with a special talent for finding other cats.
 
But -1 anyway, the circle is not free hand.

2:20 PM
> "The answer is that Fizban is a crazed wizard owned by TSR under copyright, while Zifnab is a completely different crazed wizard owned by Margaret and I. Incidentally, neither Fizban nor Zifnab have any relationship whatsoever to Zanfib—a crazed wizard from our Starshield series. I hope I have cleared this up once and for all."
 
Bifnaz
 
@Derpy omg.... where you found it???
huh, in the Wiki
slapping myself for being so lazy
 
Somehow, I never realized that @Benjol was British. Probably because of his excellent English. Does that make me racist?
 
@bacon abnoc
 
user202362
Only if you also only prefer black cats
 
2:30 PM
@Shog9 Everything makes you racist and not racist at the same time.
 
why is there a non-freehand circle on that cat?
 
user202362
?
 
user202362
coz ... effort?
 
@Shog9 usually those with excellent English aren't native English speakers, at least that's what I came to learn over the years.... with SE regulars being the exception.
13 mins ago, by Shadow Wizard
But -1 anyway, the circle is not free hand.
 
@ShadowWizard And also incidentally
> "I like to think that Zifnab is very well read." And so, as far as we know, that is all there is to it: the crazy old wizard was a fan of Dragonlance, as well as, apparently, Tolkien and James Bond. The rest is purely speculation.
Then, there are the ones that prefer to think that they now know where that old crazed unicorn went to after his latest dimensional trip.
 
2:36 PM
@ShadowWizard wait, is this whole English only debate a way to ban non-native speakers? So only the elite can chat?
 
What even is a 10000px * 340px image
 
@rene Do I count as elite?
If so, then BURN THEM ALL
 
user202362
... but ... but ... my native language is Gibblish?
 
user202362
am I banned from visiting here, then evade the ban anyways as ... always?
 
probably
 
2:38 PM
You're banned for reasons other than language
 
yup
 
@TIPS I dunno, I don't know what qualifies but I do know that I'm about to disqualify myself
 
Elite: Dangerous is a space adventure, trading, and combat simulation video game developed and published by Frontier Developments. Piloting a spaceship, the player explores a realistic 1:1 scale open world galaxy based on the real Milky Way, with the gameplay being open-ended. The game is the first in the series to attempt to feature massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining single player options. Elite: Dangerous is the fourth game in the Elite video game series. It is the sequel to Frontier: First...
 
@rene nah, no conspiracy here. Yet.
 
@Shog9 I'm in the adventure part.
 
2:39 PM
@ShadowWizard very reassuring
 
@rene yeah, I know. :D
 
user202362
@Shog9 I used to play a online game, exactly the same concept, except it involves shooting other players ...
 
ugh.... got a bite of a really hot pepper.... :(
 
games that don't involve burninating villagers aren't worth the time
 
user202362
it's motto was 'meet people all around the world! then kill them!'

@Telkitty This is what happens when everyone can be a programmer
 
user315433
It adds up to ... 180? I would understand 360, since the degrees are involved.
 
@sandwich the 60 is not percentage
 
@sandwich The rest is crap.
 
It's 100% organic, 20% sweet and the temperature is 60 degrees celcius. :)
 
user315433
2:55 PM
Yes, but it'd be somewhat clever to have a pie chart using 360 degrees instead of %.
 
@sandwich yeah, the design isn't that great...
 
@sandwich lol, @David looks happy.... maybe too happy.... :P

@sandwich 337 of them would be taken up by the scalding hot temperature.
 
user315433
3:03 PM
That still leaves 23 degrees for being sweet and organic.
 
What's wrong nowadays with 313 K non-organic hot chocolate which is 0.2 parts sugar?
 
user315433
Sugar content, to begin with.
 
Oh, you prefer more?
I like to leave some room for additives like chocolate, water, whipped cream, and marshmallows.
 
@ShadowWizard You mean Haney, right? ;)
 
user315433
@bjb568 I admit putting sugar in my coffee once or twice, but I was young and foolish then.
 
3:11 PM
@sandwich You need to become young and foolish again.
 
user315433
The second part is easier.
 
user202362
do you have to be young? that's totally age discrimination!
 
@hichris123 yup, not David the boss ;)
 
@sandwich I'm sure some people on Drupal can help you with the former.
 
3:14 PM
@ShadowWizard Both Davids are bosses.
Except one is the World's Okayest Boss.
 
user315433
SE has a policy of name collision => no hire ; so it's understandable Haney isn't using the first name.
 
@sandwich I used to put 3 spoons of sugar when I was 20. Then lowered to 2 spoons when I was 30. And for the last year or so, lowered to about quarter of a spoon. :)
@hichris123 ok ok, so I meant David the boss, but not the Big Boss. :D
 
3:36 PM
@ShadowWizard sugar in your coffee? Ewwww
 
Ewww? Blasphemy.
 
The only thing to put into your coffee is more coffee
 
user315433
Based on chat so far, plotting (age, sugar amount) data points would make a downward line.
 
Are you calling me old?
 
user315433
Ummm... let's relabel the horizontal axis as "wisdom"

@ShadowWizard pinch of salt in otherwise black coffee, imo.

@canon salt?? Nah... that's for salad, not coffee. Or any drink... :P
@sandwich who is aalear? If anything, it's alear... never had another a... or has he?
 
@ShadowWizard Get it? It's a battery.
Coming soon AAAlear
 
user315433
@ShadowWizard That was AL's nickname on several sites, example github.com/aalear
 
user315433
I assumed the second A comes from the patronymic name (Russian naming standard).
 
lol
@sandwich right.. weird, because alear was not taken until recently.
Now, that is weird.....
Can it be a typo, caught for all eternity by Google Cache? ;)

8:00 PM
@ShadowWizard No, this was a temporary display name change. Some of SE employees are fond of this.
 
@sandwich but... Gadam?
 
user315433
Some name changes are inside jokes. Either a reference to Gabe (their most prolific name-changer) or a play on "goddamn", or ?

@ShadowWizard v. Oracle.
 
Did they have a fight??
 
user315433
Yeah... a 9 billion USD lawsuit over the use of Java API in Android.
 
Oh.... isn't it ooooold thing?
 
user315433
It was going on for a long time, but the jury verdict came out now.
 
8:07 PM
Wow, didn't notice. Oh well, guess it doesn't really matter for us. :D
 
Oracle has now to run their RDBMS on Google Apps, so it does matter ...

I was offline for like 10 hours and I got 5 new pings and one VLQ answer on a old SO question
 
@Quill I figured that, just wanted to make my position clear
 
Apologies for the comment

Fuel issue.
I just saw them dump fuel out of the wing onto the ground.
I got patted for a "groin anomaly" in security. Their machine is borked.
 
@bjb568 the captain doesn't have enough money on him to pay the bill
 
People with orange jackets staring at the puddle of fuel outside, look concerned.
They have their phones out.

@bjb568 that happened to a friend of mine on a school overseas trip last year... I may have made the situation worse by whispering things in his ear
@sandwich there's a lot of Twitter conversations behind those.....
On an entirely different note.... It seems Pebble watches are back on Kickstarter

That's definitely not intentional. There's a test going on with single-job ads, but you should still see a bit of a variety. We'll see if we can figure out what's going on there. — Bret Copeland ♦ 7 hours ago
Aha. It's an A/B test.
I guess I'm on the B team...
