@JNat cross site spammer for you cooking.stackexchange.com/users/73849/constructionsdelhi

@JourneymanGeek Better link to their network accounts page, I think: stackexchange.com/users/15599951/… (unless the "nuke dem all" button is on each site profile?)

Interesting trivia: @rumtscho is chat user (here on MSE) since I was exactly 33 years old! :D

rumtscho

@ShadowWizard Congratulations on the largest crutch ever made. (Do you use this idiom?)

Shadow Wizard

11:34 AM

@rumtscho not using it, now learning what "crutch" means.... let me see.... :)

hehe hope you mean the "a long stick with a crosspiece at the top, used as a support under the armpit by a lame person" meaning.... LOL

The other meaning is "another term for crotch (of the body or a garment)."..... :P

And yeah, I'm not native English speaker, lol

Anyway... sorry @rum, didn't get it. But thank for the congrats, whatever it was for! :D

welcoming @rum into the room ;)

@Tinkeringbell nah, took me whole long minute or so... I'm slow.... :D

@ShadowWizard thank you!

To clear up the crutch confusion: it is a metaphor derived from the first meaning

when somebody makes a birthday congratulation a day or two late, the saying is "congratulations on a crutch" meaning "that congratulation is coming in so late, it is as if it was injured and had to limp on a crutch to reach you"

@rumtscho ohhhh lol!! Had no idea. :D

I have a question and I was too afraid to ask: I didn't see any 'unicorn' picture on april fool site. Was there any 'unicorn'?

Journeyman Geek

Yes

xdtTransform

not the ascci one like a real unicorn picture ? I saw a lot of people stating it was miss aligned by design and was too afraid that was an april foll ception

Tinkeringbell

@xdtTransform It only showed up on a.) sufficiently wide screens and b.) I've heard adblockers might have blocked it.

@xdtTransform ^

At least I saw picture of it. I wish I had meet it in person.

No . Unless you intend to go back in time and patent it first

Wasn't there a userscript made? Perhaps installing that and disabling adblock?

AFAIR... if there are too many edits on a single post, a flag will be automatically raised?

Tinkeringbell

@GetAnswerWizard Yep

@Tinkeringbell even by same user?

Think only rollbacks would trigger a flag... no?

A: What causes a post to be auto-flagged for many edits more than once?

The rules for the new flags are, in intention: Flags for multiple edits, be it by the original author or by multiple authors, should only happen once in the lifetime of the post. Flags for a post hitting a certain number of answers total should only happen once in the lifetime of the post. Flag...

rollbacks trigger a flag too

Though that's different from the edit flag.

In a tribute to classical Latin, I started pronouncing it 'per-kent.' Eventually my friends had to resort to spritzing me with a water bottle like a cat to train me out of it.

So @StackOverflow do you often allow your reps to make blackmail threats when attempting to collect invoices? FYI the service didn't work as described in the sales process #CoderRadio CC @spolsky @df07

@ShadowWizard thanks for replying to my comments, looks like i'm getting ahead of myself.. shall i remove the comments or are they useful clarifications for other users?

ocæon

9:50 PM

@ShadowWizard in the case of meta.stackexchange.com/a/209535/505013 i had somehow completely missed the word "comment" throughout! but meta.stackexchange.com/a/77006/505013 i could add clarification to answer. i'm removing my comments on both now

Shadow Wizard

@ocæon whatever you want. :)

ocæon

oh actually that review one should just go, they cannot even be listed without the minimum 500 rep

Shadow Wizard

You can see your own reviews in the history tab.

ocæon

.. not seeing a history tab, and what would it contain without the ability to review?

Shadow Wizard

10:11 PM

@ocæon it's per queue, e.g. stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits

It will contain things like edits you approved/rejected on your own posts, it can be done with 1 rep too

ocæon

.. um .. i.imgur.com/M8bQeTt.png

and i have accepted an edit

Shadow Wizard

@ocæon sure, but you have "history" link there

Interesting, when logged out history page gives 404

ocæon

yay! ok now i need to explain that to others in the answer

Shadow Wizard

So need a sock to test it.

Shadow Wizard

@ocæon oh, that's not my doing, no idea how to do it... my wife is folding the socks into those bundles. :D

I folded my socks myself during army, but that's about it. lol

@ShadowWizard here you go: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/…

ocæon

@ShadowWizard hold two socks flat between your hands cuffs up and together,, then place both thumbs into one cuff, finally push all eight fingers upward while spreading the cuff around your fingers.

Shadow Wizard

@rene awesome! @ocæon asked for it. ;)

rene

@ocæon okay, done that. How do I free myself now?

Shadow Wizard

@ocæon wife tried to teach me many times. I suck badly in those things.... just can't get myself to do it properly. :/

Thanks for trying though! :D

@ShadowWizard okay, cut finger off, now what?

Rob

10:58 PM

Missed was the critical part about matching the two socks first. I have a lot of socks that look similar, with minor variances. Sometimes it comes down to matching wear patterns to avoid pairing a new one with old; because if they are both sufficiently worn and the pile of good ones is big enough, out they go.
