and in case anyone's wondering, I edited the tags on all of them, performed moderator actions one-by-one, then after drafting the tag edits on each question, I went through and quickly saved each edit.
The logo banner for English Language & Usage used to be centered. It was designed to be centered, way back when these things were created. How can I tell? Because it exhibits bilateral symmetry in a big way. The bar has matching bookend ornaments and a line motif extending from the ornaments to e...
@JourneymanGeek I just meant that the plagiarized answers are higher ranked than many regular ones, thus decreasing in turn the visibility of valid answers (no one will scroll to the last page, so being in first page compared to second is an HUGE difference)
@Stijn this user doesn't know how to review, and they're causing lots of harm to SO, I think they should be banned from reviewing for good. /cc @YvetteColomb. Apart of the obviously wrong reject as spam (!) of @Stijn edit, that user approved at least two invalid edits: one (backtick abuse) and two (changing meaning of answer). surely that user got many other bad reviews.
Pity it's so hard to catch those since they're smart enough to dodge audits.

This is an attempt to recreate a scene from the movie Men In Black. There is a scene in which they fall from the pillar near the rocket and using time machine, they switch the region before touching ground.

It's been derpy for a few days now. The profile screen is no longer showing recent activity for me, and ya, stuff is randomly taking an abnormal time to load (or not loading at all). Not sure if this is related, but my filter search (not related to the app) keeps showing "no results", even though I know there are results available. That's off and on though. — Carcigenicate12 hours ago
I'd like the "today", "yesterday", etc. links in recent activity to display in the user's current time zone, as well as any non-relative timestamps (for example, the absolute timestamp seen when hovering over a relative timestamp). It is annoying that the evening is a different day than the afte...
This one is nice too: Compare A and B, if they don't match return 'value_not_equal' as error description. Next, compare C and D, and if they don't match return 'value_no_match'
I mean, I understand what the code does and that you want to return two different symbols for error_description (to couple them to the right error message from the message file)... but they could've been a bit more descriptive :P
@Bart Oh, Magik is fun. You can compare everything ;)
Still better than a former colleague of mine. Brilliant guy. But he would start his naming with "A" to move on to "B" and so forth. And everything was a void*. And when asked what the arguments were, you'd get a response like "oh, an arbitrary vector".
I'm just amazed. Sometimes things are just called a, b, l, o, r... whatever random letter you can come up with (nf is often used for network followers). Other times, people actually took the time to write stuff out and ended up with 'should be' instead of 'expected' ;)
@balpha hey, Unicornify is dead (giving "Python 2.5 is no longer available. Please refer to https://goo.gl/aESk5L for more information." error), any chance to resurrect it?
@balpha while we are here... is there any chance you'll get to work on mobile chat again? The missing reply option from mobile chat transcript drives me crazy... :/
@balpha could you consider - if that is not too much work - to add those somewhere, maybe on the old event pages? Meta "hats" have some holes for the first few years, and sometime the only available pictures are either not very good or "worn" on some random user avatar
@balpha too bad. But, well, I heard from Adam you (SE developers) get to have "bug watch" duties from time to time, where you're free to choose and fix bugs you see fit. So.... (pleading eyes)
Would be nice to have a sort of "history" page with all the past hats and the original flavor text they had. Been thinking to make a community wiki post myself but I lack some of the older pictures /.svg
Searching for it, I tried to ask some mod on the Tavern if they can confirm the existence of an egg but without much luck.
A quick inspection of the js code for the page shows nothing suspicious. Also, I have tried every key combo that come to mind to gather the snow, but again nothing worked.

@Tinkeringbell You haven't still commented on today calendar joke. That's good in a way...
Scoop of the day: Princess Peach Toadstool does no longer use a poor defenseless Toad as a shield in Smash Bros ultimate. Rumors has it that Nintendo had to change her moveset after an user made an angry Twitter post about Peach not being kind enough to her subjects.
Okay, help me out here.. is that knitted or is that just a pattern printed on fabric/plastic? Looks like the latter, looks way too smooth to be otherwise?
