Does anyone else here feel a bit dissatisfied when opening a package that has tape saying 'repacked'? Like... now you're not the first one to open your package anymore :(

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell depends what it contains... :)

Tinkeringbell

My cheese swag.

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell chances are the company that made the board and did the etching are different?

or is it customs checking to see if they are cheese knives or cheese knives?

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Nah... DHL made it go through security. It has that big red 'SECURITY' sticker ;)

Journeyman Geek

Tinkeringbell

2:04 PM

A person called SBV checked it, at station MXG

Mithrandir

@JourneymanGeek Does it come with knives?

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell Well, it can be used as a weapon, no wonder customs checked it, as @Journeyman said.... :D

Journeyman Geek

@Mithrandir it does iirc

I didn't get involved in that contest lol

Tinkeringbell

@Mithrandir Yes, it comes with knives

Mithrandir

Cool

So... it might take a bit to get to me :P

Journeyman Geek

2:05 PM

heh

Shadow Wizard

huh

Journeyman Geek

I'm waiting on a few packages at the moment :/

Not swag tho

Tinkeringbell

It might. I got a text saying it would be delivered on Monday, but it took until today. Guess they were too busy with actual christmas presents ;)

Now I can start waiting on the watch.

Mithrandir

@Tinkeringbell envious

Journeyman Geek

(few T shirts from Tested, a second raspberry pi W ...)

Shadow Wizard

2:06 PM

Time Bomb!

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell I'm pretty sure unless they send everyone one, I'm out XD

Mithrandir

I spent a lot of effort on that silly video... :'(

Tinkeringbell

I think there was a comment there that said there may be a few more winning slots, but...

I doubt that means 200 winning slots all of a sudden :P

Journeyman Geek

no ;p

Mithrandir

Oh well.

Derpy

2:10 PM

@Tinkeringbell did they already sent the watches mails?

Journeyman Geek

you win some you lose some XD

@Derpy I think its very likely she won one XD

Mithrandir

@JourneymanGeek I'm interested in seeing what Tim meant...

Journeyman Geek

so am I

Derpy

@JourneymanGeek my point was asking if they have already sent the mail, which in turn would somehow shed some light on the "more slots" thing

Journeyman Geek

ahh

Derpy

2:17 PM

that said, asking MegaNat could probably be a faster option too.

Tinkeringbell

@Derpy No, I haven't had an e-mail yet. To be fair, I'm not expecting one before 2019 either ;) CM's are people too, they have vacations too!

Also, thing isn't entirely ended yet...

Derpy

my work ended two days ago. Calendar has ended, I am in sleeping phase now.

Shadow Wizard

Derpy

@ShadowWizard wrong pony, retry

Shadow Wizard

@g3rv4 never sleeps! :P

g3rv4

2:30 PM

@ShadowWizard sleep is overrated

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard true, but those posts are not going anywhere

Shadow Wizard

@g3rv4 I know! :D

@JourneymanGeek and they'll contain wrong info until someone edits them.

Tag subscription is also a mess now, only way is by creating a filter on se.com

Derpy

@ShadowWizard better.

I would have accepted a Fluttershy too.

Shadow Wizard

Well, can't beat using your own avatar, no? ;)

Derpy

still, you get 7 for correct pony

Shadow Wizard

2:36 PM

@Derpy so why deduct 3? Sleeping method?

Derpy

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy I still can't figure why you're using two accounts in such a way.

Derpy

@ShadowWizard effort. Just a gif, not some more elaborate fanart

(basically meaning I expected you to do the work to find me a nice wallpaper.)

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy gif is better, it's more.... powerful. :)

and myself

powderful

Shadow Wizard

2:39 PM

and to make it fair for @Tink here is a sleeping parrot!

Tinkeringbell

That's not how I sleep!

But it's cute :)

So keep up the illusion ;)

Shadow Wizard

lol

So much powder.... :D

and myself

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell hehe, you mean you sleep more like this lady? ;)

Tinkeringbell

Wait. I have a picture somewhere, let me look

Shadow Wizard

2:45 PM

LOL... who took it?? :D

oh wait... while CM's appear to be all away indeed, @g3rv4 can migrate the ASP burnination request to MSO. @JourneymanGeek what you think?

Tinkeringbell

Okay. I declare that picture lost. I know it should be somewhere...

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell twitter?

No account yet so can't browse your media there... :(

Tinkeringbell

Nah, it's in my conversation history with someone, I know that for sure.

Shadow Wizard

g3rv4

@ShadowWizard is there any reason why we'd want to do that ASAP?

(and would be better not to wait for the CMs)

Shadow Wizard

2:52 PM

@g3rv4 not really... but if it's something obvious and nobody objects... well.. :)

g3rv4

then yeah, I'd wait for the CMs :) just that I can do it doesn't mean I should do it :)

Shadow Wizard

Main reason is probably "When they get back it will be forgotten already". lol

@Journeyman can you mark @rene's flag as "pending" again and put it back in the queue?

(so that the CM's will have something to remind them)

g3rv4

@ShadowWizard you won't have forgotten about it

Shadow Wizard

@g3rv4 I might forget... :(

rene

@ShadowWizard I don't think that feature exists

Shadow Wizard

2:55 PM

Too bad...

g3rv4

/remind me to remind @ShadowWizard to remind the CMs about that question I forgot

Shadow Wizard

lol

g3rv4

ouch, this isn't slack

Shadow Wizard

Now in star wall!

That font... it's not italics... what is that? Oh, code block format.

g3rv4

Shadow Wizard

2:57 PM

@g3rv4 lol! Tanks in advantage, I guess. :D

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard nope. You could flag it again and point out it's an old post that needs a cm

Derpy

@ShadowWizard ^

btw, @Tinkeringbell / @ShadowWizard - I've updated the calendar post with explanations for every joke.

5:49 PM

@Tinkeringbell Oh huh that ends today

Tinkeringbell

Yep :D

And last I checked I was in a comfortable 16th place

ArtOfCode

I'm in 6th :)

Happy with that

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, people like plushies better than time-travelling archaeologists, it seems :P

ArtOfCode

I blame FGITW

Tinkeringbell

I started out as 8th or something...

It's okay though. Can't be in the top 10 every time!

ArtOfCode

5:54 PM

I saw the post a couple minutes after it was posted and optimised more for speed than super duper whizzy design work, so mine went in pretty early

Tinkeringbell

So did mine. I have just enough friends I guess to make sure I always get around 40 votes ;)

ArtOfCode

I've got lots of free stuff this holiday... free card game the other day, Hacktoberfest shirt, this, some SO swag coming up for research...

Tinkeringbell

'for research'? What kind of research?

I got my cheese board. I think that was it ;)

ArtOfCode

Julia asked for people from SOBotics to chat to them to help with some projects they're planning

Tinkeringbell

Sounds like that might be fun :)

ArtOfCode

5:58 PM

Should be

1 hour later…

Mithrandir

7:11 PM

@ArtOfCode I went for the effort. Guess we learned what pays off :p

Tinkeringbell

@JohnDvorak Nah, if they want to be quicker than me, there is no time for leisure ;)

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@Tinkeringbell undelete, then delete again

Tinkeringbell

Well, have fun with that :P

Hello -- does anyone know if there is a Hat cHat this year?

Mithrandir

Hogan

ah ha, tanks

Mithrandir

Yeah, they travel reaaallyy slowly on the roads. Annoying when you get stuck behind one of them.
