@Mithrandir why you gotta start the week with eldritch horrors

Seemed as ḡ̯̮͈̩̘o͍̳ͥ̀ö͕̠̟̬̜͉̘́̓̉̈́ͯd̲̜͚͓̏͋ͨ̓ of a choice as any.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog cheers x 3

We do that anyway.

@ShadowTheDragonWizard It's Stephen Rauch's fault.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog welcome to the club.

I already voted to delete those, but here's another one which should bite the dust: meta.stackexchange.com/q/332951/295232

7:48 AM

@Glorfindel kaboom

Now you're just teasing me

Who?

Why?

How?

Where?

When?

What?

Which?

7:56 AM

Whatever.

Who starred that? Now I look like an unfun person! :P

You are an unfun person.

;)

Probably true... :P

Meta Andrew T.

Cannot unfun it!

Especially at this moment. I lost 4 weeks of relaxation in 10 minutes this morning :/

Minirant: Vacation was way better than work.

Well that's a surprise.

Meta Andrew T.

8:10 AM

I code when I'm vacant

wait, wrong word...

Yeah, I hadn't expected this either. I thought I had pretty much tied up every loose end before vacation, but it seems some sagas aren't done yet.

@MetaAndrewT. vacatn is the right word

. . . Vatican?

@Tinkeringbell that 29 sites have left beta announcement. It's still being featured. How come? More than 30 days have gone by. Is it because it's still a Sunday in the US? But yesterday was the 1st September. — Mari-Lou A 3 hours ago

Anyone know why featured tags stick around longer than 30 days? I thought they'd be gone by then :/

@Tinkeringbell Ca-ching, probably

@M.A.R. For days? It's September second, we're talking about a tag that should've been gone August 31st according to my calculations :/

8:17 AM

I didn't vote on that particular FR because what does a dropdown solve?

@Tinkeringbell Oh. Hmm . . .

The last time a diamond edited the tags was August 2. It should be gone by tonight, if I'm right.

@Mithrandir Huh? It looks at when a diamond edits the tags, not when the featured tag was added?

I think so

this one weird trick can help you keep a featured tag forever!

We'll see in six and a half hours, I guess?

8:20 AM

@Mithrandir I hope so! ;)

8:32 AM

@Tinkeringbell someone must kick the server side cache, it's not new

8:54 AM

@ShadowTheDragonWizard Oh, kicking. Kicking stuff sounds good :D

@Tinkeringbell Like this?

;)

@Mithrandir Oh, do try. I have bigger guns to fire here :P

It'll be fine. Just... another two or three weeks of phone calls and e-mails and managers, I guess....

Oh, uh, erm, I just remembered I have an urgent errand on a chat server far away from here.

At least I found the 'right' manager, one that does help, just before I went on vacation ;)

Well, at least you get paid for it?

9:05 AM

@Mithrandir Ehhh.. not really. I get paid to code, not to bicker ;)

Code a bot to bicker for you. That should solve everything.

Oh well. I'll look at it like pooping on the boss' time.

@Mithrandir At this point, that might work :P I can have it just repeat a few choice words and sentences :P

Pooping on stuff is something most birds are good at.

Heh. Maybe I should try pooping on a manager then.

Let us know how that goes :P

9:07 AM

I will ;) Perhaps if I ever go back to retail, I'll try it on my last day on the job :P

1 hour later…

10:12 AM

@Tinkeringbell indeed! :P

@M.A.R. Morse code?

It's the result of a command issued in CHQ. Don't worry about it.

So confusing

It's almost never used.

plz-delete 5 (!) days old setInterval @Bart @rene @Sonic

@ShadowTheDragonWizard 5! = 120

Eventually they agreed to "an auto-retracting dog leash with one end clipped to your house, so you can press the button on the handle and water-ski home."

Hey, meta.SO is fun tonight

Some of the classic popcorn drama. Not any of the new cheap crap.

7:38 PM

Link please? Unless you mean "nerf downvotes plz #20 000"?

Hey, I enjoy the classics, OK?!

It's much better than a welcoming rant (ha). Those are like B movies.

John Dvorak

I'm not complaining, just clarifying. Thank you.

You're welcome, crystal clear person.

There's also the witch hunt with that new rude new contributor thing.

The last fun post was from Aug 29th, so there's that.

8:12 PM

@M.A.R. Is there a "new rude contributor" icon now? Similar in shape but with most fingers curled.

Patrick Stewart, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots discuss desert island choices at Green Room TIFF

@404 Or gothic metal symbolism

8:30 PM

@Feeds Is it deserted island, or desert island, or dessert island? I can never remember which one to use.
