@Shog9 @GraceNote some members are concerned that 2 new moderators is too much. Would one of you be kind enough to weigh in

user315433

Buyer's remorse

Photography election is now open (nomination phase)

Journeyman Geek

Wasn't he complaining about it on meta yesterday?

user315433

1:04 AM

@JourneymanGeek On Meta.SE? Don't remember. There was a discussion on Meta.GD, Is there a risk that we do not have enough community moderation with this election

user315433

I hoped joojaa would go for it...

Journeyman Geek

not what I saw

And this seems to ignore the fact that moderators are users first

user315433

Mr poop still needs flags, apparently was detected but wasn't posted to the Tavern.

Jason C

1:20 AM

@Gerry Awww I wanna see mr poop.

user315433

@JasonC not much to see

Meta-overflow: Konamiman edited a meta post about translation of meta tags to translate a meta tag in the post.

I admit estado-completado sounds better than status-completed

@Gerry It is the other official language of SE's HQ country, you know...

Mr. Poop, btw, was a little bit of a letdown. Which makes twice today that Mr. Poop disappointed me, so to speak.

@Shokhet "Honored" is correct. It's sort of the same feeling you get when somebody Godwins a conversation you're having.

Lol...

Congrats, as of last week, you're now the proud holder of one of two self-answered Reversal badges on the entire network. — Jason C 2 mins ago

@JasonC 0_0

there ought to be a badge for that

What does that even mean... "Your question is terrible and lacks research. Your answer on the other hand is sublime and enlightening..."

Jason C

Lol I don't know. I thought about that for a while then got a headache.

Journeyman Geek

.... I just realised the sign in front of me reads <name> International Academy Academy Academy

Jason C

Haha wtf

And speaking of wtf

"error_message":"too many requests from this IP, more requests available in 52119 seconds"

I call BS. I had like 20 queries left on my quota.

14 and half hours...

@JasonC just register an app and get your self a key. It is free and will put you in a much better throttle regime.

Jason C

@rene Yeah but it's such a massive pain to deal with authorization from userscripts.

Hey @Shog9 skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/38514/21485 is causing problems to the point of being reported on mse (meta.stackexchange.com/q/296561/230261). Maybe an IP ban is in order.

Q: how to pagination system?

Hi guys! I'm developing a new theme. I can not combine parts with WordPress codex. I can not understand. I think you will help me. Literally a system like the one pictured. How it should be and what cycles to use I have tried many methods up to now and could not. Actually my system is working p...

totally bad question, nothing shown (like effort made etc), and swear words in last line

...and there are two upvotes

Elephant

PHP. It's so bad that it's good.

Elephant

8:56 AM

Well, apart from the MCVE, for a first-post it's not that bad. He made some efforts by at least trying something.

hmm....

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

feature-request Hire @Bart to work as the official tavern Jester.

or at least implement a bot that will move a small laser pointer so that we can at least watch @bjb568 running around trying to catch it.

Derpy

12:50 PM

So, is the board just empty or do I really have to star @Oded message to exit this weird form of hell-ban?

Oded

???

Star this message if you don't want a chat ban.

Admit it: you hell-banned all the poor souls that didn't star your message to live in an empty Tavern forever. ^_^

Oded

Bliss

Derpy

1:01 PM

In the meantime, Bart is entertaining the others with fun jokes and magic tricks in the real room

user202362

but do you know who didn't star your message, I assume that you can find it out right? :p

Oded

Well... it is just !thoseWhoDidStar ;)

user202362

so is thoseWhoDidStar a function or a variable (container)?

Oded

1:17 PM

I went serverless with that one

user202362

Oo ... magic

user202362

maybe ancient magic was just current technology, like wifi, time travelled back some 2000 years

user315433

Yay Facebook-style UI for SO profiles.

Bart

1:34 PM

@Derpy Rest assured that I'm not entertaining anyone

Elephant

Ha, you're entertaining, @Bart.

Bart

You think I'm funny? Funny how?

Elephant

lol

user202362

1:50 PM

@Bart like you name sounds like 'butt' but with more emotions

Bart

And I'm full of shit. So that kinda fits.

user202362

emotional butt, that's hot

Bart

I may state that in an online dating profile

user202362

2:07 PM

passionate hot butt looking for true love of his life!

user315433

:3 may qualify as emotional butt

user315433

I never use smileys, but I always interpret the first one as buttface. So don't listen to me. — Cerberus Nov 21 '11 at 3:54

Clear case of buttface

2:15 PM

@Bart dare you to go and repeat that in the anime room.

Journeyman Geek

Not quite I expected to walk into...

@Gerry I had a friend who thought :3 looked like.. a pair of...

Journeyman Geek

2:41 PM

So, my workplace bought a baking school ...

Shog9

this story better end with you getting free cookies

Journeyman Geek

they just stripped down a classroom and painted it baby poop yellow and smelling of puke...

@Shog9 they're still moving in, and the place is fairly terrible so far

Shog9

disappointed

Journeyman Geek

Oh, my mom is an excellent baker

Shog9

that's usually not a job perk though

Journeyman Geek

2:43 PM

;p

I guess not

I suppose if it stops smelling of sick.... but then there's the other school so...

Andy

@JourneymanGeek That smell is so that you better appreciate the smell of cookies.

user202362

@Shog9 so you want a stalker? that's what some website cookies do - stalking you

Journeyman Geek

@Andy so I was told

I suppose its going to eventually smell better ;p

But I don't really think we have any idea what we're doing.

Derpy

Jason C

Those last three messages are rather odd with no context.

Then again they're probably pretty odd with context.

Derpy

2:54 PM

They said Cookie

Jason C

@Derpy Also, awesome.

Derpy

You can't say cookie without an obscure Cookie Monster reference

> Chrome green was used for a number of reasons. It is extraordinarily tough, and resistant to chemical breakdown. This would protect certain body chemicals, like stomach acid, from harming finished surfaces in a given facility. Additionally, it's toughness lends itself to resistance from pathogens and other foul types of toxicology. It's natural hardness makes it an easy surface to clean. Lastly, it's color vividly contrasts with blood, both fresh and dried.

It was originally considered to be a soothing color, but given the nature of hospitals and other such institutions, it got linked to…

@JasonC my workplace is basically not really working out that well for me, and its a crazy mess...

Jason C

@JourneymanGeek I remember you saying it wasn't working out well. I guess weird and wonderful smells have been added to your list.

Journeyman Geek

2:56 PM

yup

We're getting a new IT person with a ton more experience

this may be good, but I'm getting hints I may basically be on the way out

I'm hoping he realises what a shitshow it is, and helps sort it out

user315433

I forget, what color are SE HQ walls painted.

Derpy

@Gerry pink

Shog9

Institutional Green

user202362

there is no pink for any SE site colour

user202362

there are many shades of blue, and many shades of green and many shades in between

user202362

3:04 PM

and many shades of red and orange ... but no pink

Journeyman Geek

Interestingly vivaldi interprets cooking's main colour as an interesting shade of pink

user315433

I wonder if there are separate videos for en-GB and en-US, or they just went with British accent for both...

Journeyman Geek

Well, it feels like a lot of that part of the company is UK based...

Also british accents probably work wonders on americans

user202362

the accent is weird, it's not pure UK accent

user202362

3:10 PM

it's a bit ... mixed

Oded

hahahaha... a pure UK accent...

What's that?

user315433

@JourneymanGeek They do in some ways, but if you want to appear as someone who knows US developer market from inside...

Oded

There are so many accents in the UK (local ones) - Manchester, Liverpool, East London... and more

user315433

As a matter of fact, there is an en-US version of the same video.

Journeyman Geek

@Oded to most non brits I assume its the received pronunciation...

Oded

3:12 PM

There's the "posh" British accent so common in film - perhaps that's what you mean. Nobody speaks like that.

Journeyman Geek

Yup

"We are not amused"

Oded

"Oh, I say!"

Jason C

@Oded i thought it was cockney

Journeyman Geek

Naw

Jason C

Lol

Oded

3:13 PM

Not at all. Cockney is very lower class.

Journeyman Geek

cockney is probably not the accent you want when you want to sound authoritative.

user202362

it almost sounds like Australia accent, but it's some what mixed with American accent & British accent

Jason C

I jest

user315433

en-US version has 800 views, en-GB has 100 views.

you probably won't understand but trust me there is a reason

Jason C

I would never trust you.

user202362

you seem to be trusting the wrong people

I would never trust anyone who used both sally & gerry as username

@ɥʇǝS Do you have prior experience with serverdrivers.com ? Looks suspicious to me. I flagged askubuntu.com/a/920428 and superuser.com/a/1173555 as spam

user315433

Both follow the same pattern: some irrelevant stuff (like Windows drivers on AU), with a SEO-friendly link.

user315433

Oh, and there is this metasmoke record, same story

ɥʇǝS

@Gerry nope, never heard of them. You don't generally get Ubuntu drivers from 3rd party sites either. Thanks!

I was wondering why the DS usability post wasn't featured... it is now. It's just that bluefeet wanted to have a normal weekend...

user315433

And "Tearing down Docs" is still featured... what goes in the sidebar in this case?

Jason C

That Pierre Vriens guy is just... weird sometimes. That's the only word I have.

So what? Everybody's weird.

Shog9

Now you weird too.
