@JourneymanGeek Doesn't apply to me? :P
 
At least make this train more artistic.
 
@RougetheBat I don't know you. So I wouldn't feel anything at all.
also @ShadowWizard's ava seems to be broken ._.
 
Alternating color between status and tag?
 
naw.

Q: Addressing a group of women as "you guys"

Marco LeograndeThe word "guy", in its singular form, is used to refer to a man, so it's gender specific. However, in colloquial language, you can also use the expression "you guys" to refer to a group of people. When used in the plural form, is "guys" gender agnostic? Can you use "you guys" to refer to a group...

 
using images instead?
@ShadowWizard :>
 
@JourneymanGeek F5
 
@ShadowWizard ya, did that
 
@JourneymanGeek just status- without tag
 
9:24 AM
@ShadowWizard Characteristic of my Southern Californian dialect
 
@JourneymanGeek CTRL+F5
 
@RougetheBat there's a reason I used the southern y'all
 
@RougetheBat ALT+F4
 
naw, F5 worked
 
@JourneymanGeek Oh, so you're a Texan now?
 
9:25 AM
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog nope. I'm from the south. Just not of the US.

We learned in my hometown that "you guys" also addresses women. Heck, it was used in the Despicable Me movie!
 
lol ♥ lol
 
@ShadowWizard Win+M -> Alt+F4+Enter
 
9:27 AM
@ShadowWizard Twily seems to use both, probably based on the old "did writers remember that all the mane six are girls" rule
 
@JourneymanGeek No, you just needed to stop them the way I did
 
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog notice - the first thing said after the status abuse stopped was... me
 
status-wrong-the-train-reboots-if-you-do-that
 
let's discuss more urgent problems please.
 
9:31 AM
@JourneymanGeek I guess that's why my dialect was recognized as Singaporean first.
But it really did get on my nerves.
 
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog south indian, southern singapore...
 
for example... why @RougetheBat avatar is not Rouge?
 
@Derpy uses a Chaos Emerald while still having the chance
 
want the list?
 
@ShadowWizard Poor you, Dr. Eggman took away your Chaos Emerald
 
9:33 AM
actually...
I got it
shows off the Chaos Emerald
 
Ano
@RougetheBat What Chaos Emerald?
 
This one
 
Ano
The one that made me Ano just now?
 
They're consumed after usage?
 
Ano
@RougetheBat No
 
9:40 AM
I should just stick to the elements next time... chaos emeralds are confusing :D
 
Ano
@RougetheBat Just ask @JennaSloan
 
@RougetheBat of Harmony?
 
@Derpy yeah
Kinda thought that was implied :D

> My condolences.

If you’re reading this book, it can logically be assumed that you’ve been tasked with completing a project that involves working with Sharepoint; in fact, it’s probably safe to make the assumption that you’re a front-end developer who stumbled upon this text after hysterically Googling “MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT SOME1 PLS HELP,” tears streaming down your pudgy cheeks, fat fists wildly bashing the keyboard of your MacBook Pro.

..... best book introduction.
 
10:29 AM
@Shog9 hey, any chance to remove the close reason "The problem described here can no longer be reproduced"? It's being often misused to close bug reports that have been fixed, or feature requests that have been implemented. So of course those can't be "reproduced" anymore, but they should NOT be closed, in my opinion.
(You just reopened exactly such a thing)
 
@ShadowWizard or are obsolete. where its useful
 
@ShadowWizard reminds me of this
 
@JourneymanGeek might be, but from what I see, most of the times that close reason is misused.
@SensibleAlexander hmm? Sorry, how?
 
Thats's a somewhat different issue tho
 
heh, to think we wasted so much time on the android app, lol
(that's a sad lol ^)
 
10:38 AM
@ShadowWizard ugh, I still use it for notifications
 
@JourneymanGeek cv'd Journeyman
 
@JourneymanGeek sure, me too. But it's dead.
It's like using IE6 or other ancient browser/software.
 
@ShadowWizard well, I flagged many to close as no-rero... and yes, it's a sad thing.
Now I don't have any motivation to even open posts on MSE
 
@SensibleAlexander oh
@SensibleAlexander of course, nobody should have, it's 100% waste of time.
 
should remove from favorite tag too...
(or change it to ignored tag)
 
10:42 AM
o_O
 
melancholy time
 
I just rolled a change in mobile view of a site I developed.... I admire SE for their mobile theme, didn't know it can be so complicated.
 
Also improved load time in mobile from 30 seconds (!) to 1 second or so, which was more important. lol
Turns out mobile chrome can't handle multiple requests very well, though it's not documented anywhere. Merged all the requests into one, and all is well.
 
@ShadowWizard responsive themes are a PITA to make
 
Ano
10:46 AM
@SensibleAlexander What do you think of my avatar?
 
uhh... no comment?
 
@RougetheBat yup, didn't make responsive theme, SE doesn't have any too. Just made special view for mobile.
@SensibleAlexander ohhh come on, be nice. ;)
@SensibleAlexander What do you think of my avatar?
:P
 
Ano
@ShadowWizard As I said, Dr. Eggman took away your Chaos Emerald, he's probably planning to take over the world
 
@ShadowWizard oh
 
10:49 AM
@ShadowWizard I think you need a flash...
 
indeed
 
@Ano and as I said, I took it. Not the eggman
 
@SensibleAlexander it was taken 11 years ago
 
Ano
@RougetheBat Did you?
 
@RougetheBat show it
 
10:52 AM
shows the chaos emerald to @sha and @ano
 
Ano
I...don't see anything?
 
On no! The chaos emerald blinded @ano!
 
@ShadowWizard apparently a responsive theme is in the works
 
too much exposure to Anime.SE's chat room just now, brb cleaning my mind

hands @SensibleAlexander the bleach. And the aqua regia

Heh, there are @NormalHuman and @me
 
@SmokeDetector wth this question...

11:21 AM
@SensibleAlexander Almost thought that was a typo, you missed the 'e' in rene's name
 
@SensibleAlexander you meant "too much exposure to Anime.SE's image board"?
 
@Derpy thanks, you just corrected saved my life

@AdamLear if you have a spare minute, would you mind verifying my answer irt universal login that was raised on MSU.
 
hah. I was about to bug you about that
 
@JourneymanGeek U bug me not ;)
 
about to
 
Instead I ping an SE dev and if annoyed enough I might get kicked from this room without warning.
 
lol
I think mods have sort of gotten used to official channels at this point.
 
12:31 PM
Today I've got 3 upvotes for my old post about iOS app. Could this be a sign that the development of the application was resumed?
 
doubtful - unless you hear something from a dev
 
@rene flower with bug... isn't it beautiful?
yeah, I guess that's the difference between programmer and flower
 
@SensibleAlexander ;)
 
12:50 PM
@JourneymanGeek yeah, we'll see in 6-8 years.
@SensibleAlexander there was also @CRABOLO
 
@ShadowWizard I suspect that's aligned with channels, and maybe enterprise so, least for now, I think it would be on the forefront of things.
 
@JourneymanGeek they might end up doing this only on SO, making it even more distinct from the rest of the network than it already is.
@RougetheBat ohh.... that's.... shiny....
@iDebug hehe, the original Welbog is married by now, and stopped changing names. Things change!
 
@ShadowWizard and mine :P
 
@rene nah, Adam is too nice to kick anyone. Unless Adam has a bad day.... ... run!
@RougetheBat of course it's yours!
 
@rene I see nothing has changed since last week
 
12:56 PM
stealing emerald from @Rouge
 
@ShadowWizard he doesn't kick people. instead, he eradicates the db entry for users
 
@bluefeet wasn't it @Ano who pinged Shog last week? That's a change.
Now it's @rene pinging [censored]
 
@ShadowWizard i'm afraid I can't let you do that
 
@RougetheBat but I just did! ;)
 
Aight, you win
 
12:58 PM
yay!
wondering where to put the emerald now
 
steals the elements to incapacitate @ShadowWizard and steal the emerald back
 
inca what?
 
Make you unable to fight back steals back the emerald
 
Just ran across meta.stackexchange.com/questions/179595/… which has a completely inappropriate (yay this specific case has been worked around but the bug still exists!) -- anything we can do about this?
 
@bluefeet it is the common resistance to change. Don't blame me, blame mankind ...
 
1:04 PM
@m0sa yes. Can you please remove the red tag here? — Shadow Wizard 12 secs ago
or flag, and wait.
 
@NathanTuggy we can try to delete vote the accepted answer ....
 
Fair enough, I guess
 
@rene it won't remove the tag
 
@rene I will, I will.
 
mankind is overrated anyway

@if.... the south of somewhere. South of everywhere north of me.

Good times. :) 30 years since release. :o
 
There's this funny thing between Travel.SE, Expats.SE, and the dream of migration path...

North & South is a combined strategy and action game released in 1989 for the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST and ported later for NES, Amstrad CPC, MSX, DOS and ZX Spectrum. It was developed and published by Infogrames. North & South is an offshoot of the Belgian comic series Les Tuniques Bleues (by Raoul Cauvin and Louis Salverius/Willy Lambillotte, from Dupuis) which is based on the American Civil War. The player basically acts out the Civil War, choosing to play as either the North or the South. The player may choose to start the game year from 1861 (the year the Civil War erupted) to 1864. Each...
 
Black & White is a god video game developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows in 2001 and by Feral Interactive in 2002 for Mac OS. Black & White combines elements of artificial life and strategy. The player acts as a god whose goal is to defeat Nemesis, another god who wants to take over the world. A primary theme is the concept of good and evil, with the atmosphere being affected by the player's moral choices. The core gameplay mechanic of Black & White is the interaction between the player and an avatar creature, who carries out the players instructions...

College update time!
MIT: deferred
Caltech: rejected
Illinois: accepted
So still 13 colleges to wait for.
 
I think I applied to 4 plus the Air Force Academy. 16 sounds like a phenomenal amount of work. Do any of them share application data? (In my day, I could apply to as many of the University of California schools I wanted with one application.)
 
I applied to 2 UC schools, it’s the same sorta system where you have a single UC app.
Most colleges have a Common Dataset filled out.
Oh, sharing as in the data of your application, no. There are centralized application form services (Common App, Coalition App, Universal App, Questbridge, etc.), but almost all colleges ask for application essays tailored for the school.
I mean, they might share some data, but that’s not public.
 
6:46 PM
Silos will silo, I guess.
 
7:02 PM
I applied to one. :/
 
I applied early to one and then became gravely concerned when I didn't hear from them early, and thought it was going to mess up my chances elsewhere
 
I was ... um... not 18 at the time... I was.... 24 at the time... so I wasn't exactly in the normal pool.
 
7:28 PM
> boy, do I ever hope it actually works. :)
We all do, we all do ...
I liked the first revision of that comment better @AdamLear ;)
 
Haha yeah, me too. But then I overthought it and edited
 
Luckily I captured it here \o/

@NathanTuggy I also have such a question. I commented and pinged in chat, and no response. I also mod-flagged, but my flag was declined.
 
Well, this one is open and fine, so I don't know that removing the tag on the other is necessary

Q: Cannot suggest retag-only edit because of subjective title warning(?)

GlorfindelI was trying to suggest a retag of this question on Seasoned Advice, but the system won't let me; I get the familiar message Edits must be at least 6 characters; is there something else to improve in this post? In general, that's not true for retagging; if you don't change the question body...
