@Catija Have you tried cakes from Amy's Ice Creams? Do you like them?

@bro Is there an SEDE query to get the list of questions that are closed as duplicates of any of my own questions?

@SmokeDetector tpu-

Catija

12:45 AM

@SonicWizard I have not.

Sonic Wizard

How about their ice cream, overall?

@SonicWizard data.stackexchange.com/meta.stackexchange/query/173686/…

user315433

Only 3 for me.

Sonic Wizard

Seven for me.

Under my old account, I proposed an FR to allow users to choose to be notified whenever anyone's question is closed as a duplicate of one's own, but that was very unpopular (it was deleted with my account, back when negatively-voted posts were deleted on meta sites).

Catija

@SonicWizard Heavy. I can't usually eat much of it. It's good... I just can't eat a lot at once.

Sonic Wizard

12:54 AM

@Catija Yeah, I agree too...I usually order their tiny size.

But their cakes are very nice

@SonicWizard Didn't you ask some version of this: meta.stackexchange.com/q/309401/284336

Looking at all those sensors on autonomous cars, I have been thinking (which you are probably aware all your life) that we don't have visual sense behind us (unless we turn the head)

user202362

so in a sense, we never know what's happening behind us all our lives

user202362

which is never any problem unless you think about it

hey

I guess I missed the "drupal drama" while I was sleeping

That opinion that moderators only should answer meta questions.....

Journeyman Geek

hah

I answer plenty of other questions when I can

unless you mean only mods

and I can give some great counter examples

Sonic Wizard

@Catija No, I didn't

The author of that question just needed a link to How do I get attention for old, unfixed bug reports and feature requests without official responses here on Meta?.

My birthday cake, vanilla cookie from Amy's Ice Creams

Catija

Looks great! :D Happy birthday!

user202362

Belated Happy Birthday

Sonic Wizard

3:20 AM

It was absolutely scrumptious, but it was very expensive, at $25

Well, it was all worth it, as everyone loved it.

@Catija @TelKitty Thanks for the wishes!

@TelKitty To be honest, I prefer that cars be manually operated. It forces the operator to pay attention, while with more automation people will tend to lose sight of things. (I'm looking at you, Tesla.)

hey

3:37 AM

Problem: autonomous cars are still not safe due to unexpected events
Solution: remove the unexpected events by forcing all users to use autonomous cars and external causes
Conclusion: everyone becomes a robot

user202362

autonomous car technology is not mature yet

hey

We have to take everyone's freewill from breaking the law.

user202362

good idea if you are dictator, btw law is not for fairness but only works as a guideline to how people are supposed to behave

user202362

that's what my law lecturer told us

this was a fun little glitch

Not sure if it was my browser getting confused by my monitor waking up and the scaling or, the user script /extension I use

@JourneymanGeek The notion that only mods should respond when there is something posted as support or discussion on meta. Also only people concerned with the graduation of the site i.e., CM team should answer on discussion meta posted on meta and not other users.

Making love not war! Instead of fighting, you should tongue kiss your enemy - but only when you have a deadly flu!

Journeyman Geek

@NogShine that's dumb

mods are at best the first amongst equals, but there's many normal community members who get things well enough to post on meta

heck, by that arguement I should not post on MSE at all ;p

Nog Shine

By that argument, MSE should not exist.

hey

MSE is kinda a different beast, beaster than per-site meta.

Journeyman Geek

4:40 AM

yup

also

lol. my occational popping into hinduism meta...

hey

i popped into hinduism meta just now, but nothing critical (for now)...

Nog Shine

> I think the people who will grant graduation are the only persons suitable to this answer this one not anyone else.. all others can just speculate

Catija

@JourneymanGeek Sounds like a good plan... You stop posting on MSE so I can catch up.

Journeyman Geek

;p

@Catija heh, one of the nice things about my current job is unless all hell breaks loose...

Catija

That enthralling, huh?

user202362

4:54 AM

@JourneymanGeek Sounds like fire brigade's job

Journeyman Geek

@Catija well, so far.... "enthralling"

but it keeps me employed and paid and the folks I work with are cool

Catija

Isn't "Getting paid to SE" the best job there is, though?

Journeyman Geek

sigh

Catija

It's the closest anyone is getting any time soon.

Journeyman Geek

@Catija ya, maybe some day ;p

Well, true

but the place has no internet access but what you bring with you ;p

and I think I need a better data plan

Catija

4:57 AM

:/ No internet?

Journeyman Geek

naw

lol

Catija

My condolences.

Journeyman Geek

ya, I just need to see how much I used in april and look at getting more data

or if using a prepaid card for just data makes more sense

user202362

best job is the one I create useful things that could benefit billions of people </day_dreaming>

Journeyman Geek

also I need to lug around a work laptop (which is a bit naff) and a personal one so...

@JourneymanGeek do you also have a red and green network cable on your desk?

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard not sure, looks like things were different in the past, e.g. you had to visit your profile to get the bonus... these days it's not required anymore and it's not mentioned in the faq as far as I can see.

If anything, that old question is feature request which has been completed at some point.

Sonic Wizard

Q: Should we use the number "110 reputation" more widely with regards to the amount of rep needed to answer protected questions?

Please note: This is not a request to do anything. I'd like to obtain a general consensus before filing specific requests for specific changes.

@SonicWizard what is sexist about ot?

Sonic Wizard

@rene That the man is the one working. The question applies equally to a woman working, and her wanting to bring her husband and kids...and don't even get me started on non-straight couples.

rene

The OP asks from their perspective and it is their wife apparently.

3

Maybe the answer differs if you're a woman and bring your man.

Sonic Wizard

@rene SE questions are intended to help the entire audience of the web, and not just the OP.

rene

I bloody well know how SE works but thanks for reminding me

Sonic Wizard

8:15 AM

@rene Judging from the answers, it doesn't appear to differ. Also, I think that posting a separate question with "wife" replaced with "husband" would still be a duplicate.

rene

I didn't bother to read the Q/A. All I know is I hate it when relatives / kids show up on work.

the4kman

8:58 AM

@SonicWizard I don't get it either. Why is it sexist to mention a gender in a personal problem?

Princess Luna

^

hey

@SonicWizard I believe you can help improving IPS.SE by removing any mentioned gender on the post /s

or "wife" on Workplace.SE

"husband" too

rene

9:26 AM

@SmokeDetector that q/a is weird on its own Smokey, still the answer is SPAM

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard this is not sexist. And abusing the "sexist" accusation like this only diminish its value and cause the real sexist stuff to go unnoticed. It is welcome to improve posts by making them gender neutral all over SE, but that's about it.

Sorry about that, a load balancer trip inadvertently put a web server undergoing a rebuild into rotation early as soon as it lit up healthy. Despite recent rumors, we are not shutting down due to GDPR. We were only thinking hard about it.

Would be interesting Twitter News if they were shutting down due to GDPR...

"Exclusively toxic site pwned by GDPR!"

I'm actually half curious if they'll raise the minimum age cause of that. But I'll never be 13 again so whatever.
