and myself

Is toilet paper... tissue?

Rob

I once had a conversation with someone about TP and I mentioned that we (NA) have 3 and 4 ply, he said that they only had one ply - sandpaper.

Bart

Oh god, we used to have that at a coworking for a previous job. One play, recycled toilet paper that was beige ... god that was unpleasant

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard we think it's cleaner. Also what did y'all do before paper?

Rob

I've seen it, little interleaved 3"x4" sheeets.

The dog.

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@JourneymanGeek Papyrus

Shadow Wizard

Generally, tissue paper is more sensitive as it's used for the nose. Toilet paper is used, well, in toilets. :D

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

Here we only use TP to dry our hands

and myself

1:22 PM

Here... well, it's mostly interchangeable, as long as you feel okay...

As long as it dires and cleans up...

Ankit Sharma

@Rob My office toilet paper have 2 layer one and I have not seen 4 layer yet. Only seen 1/2 and 3

I am sure I have discussed about toilet paper layer before

rene

What are we talking about? I mean ....

seriously

and myself

🚽📃

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@rene We're taking about what happens to plants after humans kill them.

rene

:/

Shadow Wizard

1:28 PM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ crappy end

hmm.... code takes 2 minutes to load, but only on first run, then it's cached. Should I put it on production?

First visitor will have to wait 2 minutes.

rene

Fine with me

Derpy

@ArtOfCode don't get mad, but I though it may be worth to add another answer with some background you have missed to this question

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@ShadowWizard Sometimes you have to adjust the expectations

Shadow Wizard

Guess I should take a look in the server logs, see how often is restarts... I think only once every few months. ;)

and myself

@ShadowWizard Make the first visitor "Community bot"

rene

1:30 PM

@ShadowWizard can't you do some profiling?

@ShadowWizard is it old-style asp.net?

Rob

@andmyself it's not interchangeable. One is designed to be strong and avoid breaking up from snot rockets and the other is designed to break up and be non clogging. So don't substitute one for the other, and if you do don't rollback!

Shadow Wizard

@andmyself hehe

@rene nope

@rene nope. node.js code that need to grab list of 30k files or so. (names only)

I should have saved the file names in database too, but, well... I didn't.

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@ShadowWizard Someone is trying to find out about the music I downloaded

rene

@ShadowWizard uggh ... that is never going to fly. Disk access is slow specially for folders traversals

Shadow Wizard

lol

no music there just boring documents

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

1:34 PM

That's worse. My report cards and exam scores

Are you studying me, exceedingly Turkish alien?

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ hey how are you now?

Princess Luna

@AnkitSharma the waffles hat

@ShadowWizard Huh?

Shadow Wizard

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I see you! Go read that book again!

:P

Ankit Sharma

@PrincessLuna I shoudl ahve got it on mopvies.se

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@ShadowWizard You're right actually!

@AnkitSharma Better than fine, busy as hell

Back to the realm of non-toilet paper for me

@ShadowWizard you do realize that you can't tell the bot to do something from the codebase, eh?

Ankit Sharma

Now @Tinkeringbell have to accept the fault

Mithrandir

Nah, nobody touched the codebase

Shadow Wizard

hmm...

So some voodoo, for sure! :D

EKons

I hope I don't need to !!/blame again and you can see for yourselves who is responsible

Princess Luna

@ShadowWizard the op edits after comment one?

Mithrandir

adds Tink to the wheel of blame

EKons

wheel of blame? how did you remember that?!

Shadow Wizard

@PrincessLuna yeah. Anonymous visitor added the guess here and it was somehow approved, probably by people who aren't really aware of what's clearly written both in the answer and in comments below it.

(no guessing.)

Ankit Sharma

I am loosing hops to get any new hat and too hungry

Which hat I can eat now O.o

Shadow Wizard

1:47 PM

@AnkitSharma take my waffle, I use the toilet paper now. :P

EKons

one that's still fresh, obviously! ;-)

Mithrandir

I'm going to ask a P&F question, @Ankit, maybe that'll help

Shadow Wizard

@Mithrandir People and Factions?

and myself

Some hats are recycled... right? Like.... Waffles hat...

Ankit Sharma

@Mithrandir not sure, only iof you accpet my answer and don't vote but on movies everybody loves me so not possible to get 0 votes ;)

Shadow Wizard

1:48 PM

@andmyself only the name and look, not the triggers.

EKons

@andmyself like... GODDAMMIT SUN WUKONG!!! argh...

Ankit Sharma

@ShadowWizard movies.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/phineas-and-ferb

Shadow Wizard

@AnkitSharma never heard of that...

wait.. well, not in English. lol

Ankit Sharma

@EKons not sure how to get it, I came as near as +5/-3 without trying

and myself

1:49 PM

Dunno. I haven't checked this year's hat list, so I only know from seeing the hats here, or there, or...

EKons

@AnkitSharma I think it's -5 or something

Derpy

@Mithrandir I think @b_jonas won't go to movies :P

Ankit Sharma

@EKons yeah -5/+5 but my nearest one is +5/-3

A: Winter Bash 2018 Knitting

In tribute of 6 to 8 Weeks:

and myself

Or even suddenly getting the hats for me even without knowing the trigger...

Ankit Sharma

@Derpy he is into some anti movies.se cult/

Mithrandir

1:51 PM

I don't like that hat

EKons

@AnkitSharma to be frank, you don't really need to boast such a hat

Ankit Sharma

I suggested +3/-3 but they changed it to +5/-5

EKons

although there have been more than a few... beggings over the WB2018 room, lol

Ankit Sharma

@EKons But I suggested it with chilies rather then monkey

A: A Moose, Some Silly Putty ... And A Desperate Plea For Help

Why have a hat when you can have a tiara? So I decided to make a tiara, Eco-friendly to be specific: Ingredients: Green chilies: (when you go Eco-friendly, you surely need some green: Thread: (white worked fine for me) Knotting skills: Test subject: My dotted head friend go...

EKons

well... that could make a bit more sense, like "I'm keeping this controversial thing up and I stand by it!"

Ankit Sharma

1:54 PM

But it will shame if I don't get the hat I suggested myself :D

EKons

but -5/+5 is a bit too much

Ankit Sharma

Agreed

@SE hey I said +3/-3 did you hear me properly or not?

EKons

so... so far, I haven't begged for a few downvotes anywhere

Ankit Sharma

lol

EKons

so... I guess we can safely make a post for Sun Wukong over Meta.SO or something

but your answer has to be something that does deserve +5, alright?

Mithrandir

2:03 PM

Scratch that question :P

EKons

meh, the idea itself does definitely deserve +5 imo... ;-) </shameless_self_promotion>

Princess Luna

@EKons -10 for asking for votes.

:p

Derpy

and a pizza I got.

EKons

but, why, meta is all about posting our ideas

;P

@Derpy I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed :P

Ankit Sharma

@AnkitSharma Rarely, but I have at three answers there.

Tinkeringbell

Woooow. What happened? I try to be productive once and everything is suddenly my fault!?

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@Tinkeringbell tl;dr somebody messed with Smokey's code so that by typing a certain invisible character after the word "blame" will always make the bot blame you

Bart

Never try to be productive @Tinkeringbell. The more you do, the more you can be blamed for.

Mithrandir

Safer to do nothing, eh?

It's okay, we can blame you even if you do nothing.

@Mithrandir I prefer that Meta-related GitHub PRs show up under the name "Sonic" instead of "gparyani".

think we can consider the chicken quest closed for this year, @Bart

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@Mithrandir Now it's just called "Ralph Breaks the Internet".

Derpy

balpha would have left an hint by now

Shadow Wizard

2:44 PM

Maybe he's too busy fixing wb bugs?

Mithrandir

I know. I was curious why you think it's good that they didn't use the name Wreck-It Ralph.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@Mithrandir so you don't have to clarify "1 not 2"

Ankit Sharma

Because because somebody don't like Wrecking

Mithrandir

Actually... one moment, writing a question

:P

Bart

@Derpy yeah, I guess so. I don't have any new ideas anyway.

Derpy

2:47 PM

this doesn't bode well...

Ankit Sharma

I though Stack Moderators was for Moderators only cc@Catija

Journeyman Geek

hm?

Mithrandir

There...:

Q: Why doesn't "Ralph Breaks the Internet" have "wreck" in the title?

The sequel to Wreck-It Ralph is caled Ralph Breaks the Internet. In it, Ralph and Venellope travel to the Internet to buy a replacement controller for Sugar Rush. Why is it called Ralph Breaks the Internet, though? Wouldn't it make more sense to name it Ralph Wrecks the Internet? I'm aware that...

:P

Derpy

If I search for "roasted chicken clipart" on google image search, I get both the old chicken avatar and something similar to Infinite avatar among the result....

Anne Daunted

I just noticed that we have a tag forum and a tag forums on MSE.

rene

3:30 PM

we're not a forum nor forums ...

Anne Daunted

I'm also leaning towards having neither, but there may be legitimate uses that I'm unaware of. But I'm sure we don't need both.

rene

@AnneDaunted if we decide we need a forum tag, then the forums tag can go

EKons

legitimate uses like what, use of SE as a forum?

Anne Daunted

It seems to me that the pluralized form is more common (in general, in tags, e. g. users, questions, answers etc.), so maybe forums?

rene

looking through those questions I doubt we need any of those tags

and myself

3:34 PM

Let's go with... fora

Anne Daunted

@rene I also got that impression

Tinkeringbell

@andmyself flora ;)

EKons

e.g. @rene?

Tinkeringbell

I'm not naming names.

EKons

but... what would flora mean?

Tinkeringbell

3:39 PM

> Flora is the plant life occurring in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring or indigenous—native plant life. The corresponding term for animal life is fauna.

EKons

not flora, flora

Mithrandir

For asking questions about @rene, of course

EKons

yeah, me too

not sure why @Tink disagrees...

rene

@AnneDaunted Shog added the tag at least here so in 2011 he thought that tag was a good idea

Tinkeringbell

@EKons Perhaps there's more plant life occuring than just rene? :P

Anne Daunted

3:42 PM

@rene In this case we need to tread carefully

rene

Just burn those tags. No watchers and it adds nothing to the question that you wouldn't find or know from a search

Mithrandir

Shog in 2011 isn't really a good measure for a good tag in 2019

rene

Top answerers are employees where Adam Lear earned lots of rep by explaining we're not a forum. The tags can go if it was my call.

@Mithrandir in my timezone it is still 2018 ..

Mithrandir

Eh, for what, another two weeks? We have to plan for 2019 now...

rene

I rather get the facts right

Princess Luna

4:06 PM

@Tinkeringbell But how can we be sure?

Tinkeringbell

@PrincessLuna This requires an expedition into uncharted territory.

gets hat

Princess Luna

gets shotgun

Let's do this.

Tinkeringbell

We need a crew. Any volunteers or shall we start shanghaiing people?

Princess Luna

Pff, who needs a crew? You have me :p

Tinkeringbell

I want a crew!

Commanding just one person is no fun.

Especially if that person is holding the shotgun

Princess Luna

4:09 PM

Mmf... Fine... summons an army of clones

There you go. Happy?

Tinkeringbell

I... actually wanted to shanghai people, but this will do I guess.

sets sail

(and now we wait).

Princess Luna

What's shanghaiing people?

Tinkeringbell

@PrincessLuna en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghaiing Basically kidnapping some scoundrels to add to the crew. :)

Princess Luna

W-well... uh... I-it's not too late to turn around and do that you know

John Dvorak

It's like Gangaming but from a different timeline where it was invented in a different city

Tinkeringbell

4:13 PM

@PrincessLuna Pffft. Always when you're just on the road, they want to turn around!

Princess Luna

@Tinkeringbell ~~But I really have to go!!~~ :p

John Dvorak

> Make a U-turn. After 100 meters, enter the pedestrian tunnel.

Tinkeringbell

@PrincessLuna Just go over the railing. We were sailing, remember? :P

Princess Luna

> Open an appropriate door when someone barely dodges the car

@Tinkeringbell I don't want to!!

:p

@Tinkeringbell Is that the unchartered territory?

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

just make a new token once whenever you really need it, and be sure that they don't get deleted client-side

eh, multiple tokens ain't a problem

EKons

true

Tinkeringbell

@PrincessLuna No, we're still in chartered territory :P

Princess Luna

@Tinkeringbell Are we there yet?

Tinkeringbell

Nope.

Princess Luna

4:53 PM

What about now? :p

Bart

I have to peeeheee

Tinkeringbell

We have a stowaway!

stowaways don't get to pee

And no, we're not there yet. Here, go scrub the deck

Princess Luna

Tink said to just do it over the railing!

That's about enough!

MUTINY!!!!!
