The fun of seeing someone saying something controversial inadvertently, then watch the personal fanatically trying to bury said tweet under snows of other random tweet for either distraction or balance out the controversial tweet purposes. Also fun to watch my fat wyandotte chick being chased, slips and falls on the tile, the just sits there waiting to be captured (by me).

Fwiw, the level of false negatives is high for all comment flag types; relatively few comments get flagged period, even when they unarguably should be. There are too many comments. — Shog9 ♦ 2 hours ago
user315433
One way to reduce false negatives is to raise more flags; the other, to post fewer comments to begin with.
user315433
Step 1: Read a question.
Step 2: Get annoyed with said question.
Step 3: Look for an outlet: downvote? weak sauce. close? yeah, like it'll get reviewed, and the reasons don't really fit. Comment? Sure, let them have it.

@TelKitty two new arrivals - the little one was weaned early - as his mother was starving - he has a problem with his back legs - I think it will sort out with nutrition and bandaging

The story revolves around the crew of the debris collection craft, Toy Box, in the year 2075.

On a related notice, anyone using azure VM?

@Derpy classic, yes.
@rene do you too have the impression that there is a big miss-match between the extimated $/Month cost displayed on the Choose a size page when you create a new VM and the values you can obtain from the external pricing calculator tool???
Oh ... I .. never used that, nor do I actively monitor how much is spend
so I can't answer that
@Derpy you always did... ;)
11:11 AM
@rene the pricing calculator is showing me an hourly price that seems to be two times what the actual portal shows me.
Great, right? This make cost estimates very easy....
usual Microsoft information dismanagement.
@Derpy You're supposed to not think about it a lot and just pay
They probably have accurate pricing for enterprise customers :p
@Magisch I am using the 130€/150$ / month free benefit from our MSND subscription
I want to know what VM size I can afford without going over my monthly free credit.
heh
:p
Pricing Calculator:
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Manually reported question: Pest Control Sydney by Pest Control Sydney on biology.SE

Azure Portal , VM creation summary:
compare the two prices.
Not even close.
12:08 PM
@Derpy Maybe one is without the storage?
@rene nope, the pricing tool does not include the storage as far as I know.
well, wasn't it Nick Craver who tweeted about the Licensing / pricing models kind of being insane?
I actually opened a support request and included these same screenshots with it. I am pretty sure there must be a reason for this difference - I just don't know where to look
Don't be surprised if the ticket get answered with a totally different price
The only thing I can think of is that maybe the fact that the azure free subscription is tied to our paid MSDN subscription is giving us a discount. Somewhere.
12:12 PM
yeah, that could be it.
@rene possible, but past months billing data seems to indicate that the lower pricing - the one shown in the portal - is the real one.
Now I'm curious to know the answer, keep me posted.
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Manually reported answer: alt, title tags not showing by florensya on wordpress.SE
@Derpy It says there "Prices presented are retail prices and may not reflect discounts associated your subscription"
Maybe you're getting a discount as part of the free credit scheme?
12:28 PM
@Magisch that was a theory. But then, I would expect the shown price to be HIGHER than the actual applied one, since it doesn't include the discount.
Instead, the lower price is the one shown on the portal - that is, the one that should not include said discount.
As I said, it will be fun. I have opened a support request and asked for a clarification.
My head canon is that right now, a manager is asking one of the dev if he also published the changes to the live site when he updated the prices on the pricing calculator six month ago (or if he also committed the DB transaction after updating those data....)
@Derpy why hourly based hosting to begin with? Why not monthly payment?
10 euro a day sounds like tons of money
1:22 PM
@ShadowWizard because they have pay per usage pricing for most of the available resource offers.

What's the name of the kingdom? Leslia Kingdom?
3:18 PM
@HTTPS what kingdom? In that game? There are several, the main is Resulia Kingdom. Why?
Yeah, I need the correct transliteration from the Japanese. Seems correct for Resulia
Wait, I see there's also Leslia kingdom, I'm not there yet. lol
Only in the beginning of the game.
I didn't take the screenshot, found it online.
Somehow the PS4 connection to my FB is borked so I can't really upload screenshots. :(
Not sure about Leslia, because in Japanese it's only read as resuria (and the usual L/R confusion)

Comments on answers are important for pointing out problems, comments on questions less so. They are either misplaced answers or attempts to "improve" the question somewhere in the spectrum between verbal attack and hand-holding.

Travel site has exceptionally high number of questions in answers because of the idea that one has to find a person with similar experience and ask them directly. It's somehow prevalent among travelers when visas or other gov't business is involved.

Okay. Another idea: comments under questions expire in 5 days. If the goal was to clarify the question, it will be either achieved in that time, or the question stays unclear.

@rene it can be moved to a new room, then room set to Gallery, then after few days it will be auto deleted. Google won't find it anymore, and only 10k users will be able to see it if explicitly looking for it in rooms list.
Same level as deleted posts.
