sings "Forgot about Dre"

So when I see a comment that politely points out that something can be found in documentation I can assume Brad removed the You're an idiot part?

@rene Unless the user managed to deserve that, in which case it should be covered by the this part:

> In the rare cases where the insult or rudeness are somehow core to the conversation (..............), I'll leave the comment alone.

?

@Derpy sure, that comment is not Larsoned then ...

@Telkitty yes, but this IS my name. I can't help that, sorry.

Oh ...

@Telkitty there are some SharePoint.stackexchange 20k+ users (which translates in 200k users on a SO scale) that continue to farm rep from the "turds" Shog used to mention in the old days (the "do not polish turds" quote), and I can assure that seeing those makes me feel...... "peeved" too.

Every day, they answer Off Topic / Dupes questions, trying to get that +1...

Some day, even the multiple dupes of the same original.

(The best one was when a new user posted the same question three times, and instead of flagging/voting to close/delete they replied each one with a variation of the same post)

@EdCottrell yeah, but @edc doesn't sound right... if anything @EdCo would make more sense. ;)

@Telkitty J&J aka Jeff and Joel?

@ShadowWizard No, no; @EdCo is my secret, stealth shell corporation that I'm using to take over the world. No fair mentioning it here.

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs huh? Any chance for a TL;DR about what's going on there?

Too late @EdCo your secret is no secret anymore! :P

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs oh, wow. Lots to read in my spare time... thanks!

Hi nerds.

WELCOME BACK J!!!

Oh sure, and no hi to me @JasonC?

lol

Lol

@Jason you can put the Tavern in a timeout now

runs

@Bart Come on. Your infinite glasses:face ratio puts you way deep in "nerd" territory.

@ShadowWizard Sigh. Now I have to start all over.

@JasonC o/

@JasonC I had hoped I was so much a nerd, it had wrapped around

@EdCottrell evil laugh

@Bart to a -nerd?

Well it depends on what data type you are using to store your nerdity factor.

@JasonC tinybit?

@rene for Bart it's UnsignedHugeInt

I'm in denial

Hi in denial, I'm Bart.

For some reason the image of a flower floating in a kiddie pool filled with denial just came to mind.

And made me laugh.

Mostly because lol kiddie pools.

:-\

And a search for kiddie pool pictures to laugh at incidentally yielded this gem:

Lol kids getting hurt.

Oh damn some of these are no joke.

I don't mind, I laugh anyway

IKR, I only really said that to put on an air of humanity in public.

air of humidity?

I already got that.

All the books on my bookshelf are damp today.

@JasonC that's bad... try hair dryer.

Or ask in LH how to dry up damp books...

It's a regular occurrence. They're already ruined. Actually I was recently toying around with designs for an air conditioned book case.

The real solution is to put an A/C in my living room though.

@JasonC that would be brilliant!

My goal is to come up with a compact way to a/c or dehumidify the case without having a condensation tank to empty. I think the volume should be small enough that I can just evaporate the water on the outside. I dunno. I haven't put much thought into it yet. I don't think it will be difficult.

I hear fire is really good for drying stuff out.

Have you tried lighting your books on fire?

Yeah but the neighbors complained.

That's just because they didn't think of that solution to their moist book problem.

Hehe moist

I approve of your level of maturity. snickers in the corner

Flammable pants with a strike-anywhere crotch would be a good solution to swamp-ass.

I think I finally found my big money making idea. Thanks.

Glad to help. All I ask is a small mention in the tiny words at the bottom of the packaging.

Innovative Cloud-Based Swamp-Ass Solutions, leveraging robust Crotch-Drying-as-a-Service architecture.

I'd put my name on that.

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs That's about an answer every 26 minutes, could be worse.

Maybe the answers are few but vibrant.

It might need more vibrantly worded questions.

Let's go suggest some edits.

I can make anything colorful.

Lol, Documentation is retarded, I want nothing to do with it.

I'm happy to just sit back and let it turn into a poorly-maintained, randomly-complete copy of the internet. It's like Wikipedia and archive.org's illegitimate child.

I think it's useful, but I think when it is posted in the election cycle is at the wrong time. Both the questionnaire and answers should be earlier in the process.

I think I saw an MSE post about that earlier this week

Oooh oooh @JasonC!

Agree with that completely.

On a related note, did anyone read my Docs remarks from last night?

No

Not sure if that's good or bad...

Therefore, cost should decrease until market equilibrium is reached.

I called mine remarks because I do like the idea and I was trying to be non-ranty. Not sure if I succeeded there.

Right now, we have a bunch of specific complaints and a bunch of specific ideas to address them. Those are valuable, even the ones that are stupid. It'll take a while to go through them, but the system will be improved by their existence.

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs Give more eyes so reading is cheaper?

...Then there are a bunch of folks prognosticating. Trying to predict what the future of the system will be based on observations of a week of use, past experience, prejudice, or simply a desire to say "I told you so" 6 months from now. Those are unlikely to improve things soon.

not that there isn't value in trying to guess at where problems will lie, or how they'll affect the future... But when you can look at what's actually working or breaking, you should do that first.

> So to steal my own thunder, Jeol said

@Quill I was going to joke that the audience was large enough. But then I hit the last few phrases. Since the wording is poor, I removed the reference to suicide, which isn't the call for help it sounded like.

(Probably could edit more, but I don't imagine this will go anywhere.)

@Quill I really liked that line. ;-)

@JonEricson Yeah, issue management over quality
