Never doubt the dialog when two dads go head to head.
 
5:11 AM
Because they are. How are folks not seeing this?
 
@M.A.R. How so, so it's clear to those who "aren't seeing it"?
 
@SonictheMaskedWerehog Wut
But yes, I used telepsychosomethingis to determine that without seeing it
I'm merely a conduit for the spirits
Oh, previous contribution. I always miss that.
 
@M.A.R. Are you saying that the user is trolling? spamming? I agree that the user is presenting some very unpopular views. I'm just having a hard time going all the way to "troll".
 
Nonetheless, it's obvious the latter two posts are ZenDesk spam. Compromised account or not
@Makyen The last two questions are ZenDesk spam
 
@M.A.R. I'm not so sure of that. It was originally one question, with the ZenDesk stuff as examples, but the OP was explicitly told to break the question into the two issues which are now separately in those two questions.
 
5:25 AM
@Makyen Lemme recheck
@Makyen I didn't see any comment on the previous question to indicate this?
Maybe I'm just being dense today
 
@M.A.R. It was deleted as no longer needed. (I'm the one who posted the comment.)
 
@M.A.R. It wasn't there for long. I just happen to have loaded the question when it still existed.
 
If you check the edit history of the second-last question, you'll see that it contained two questions, then they edited out the second question and posted it as a new one.
 
Oh hmm, I stand corrected then

Q: Did Trump lose the popular vote by exactly 2,868,686 votes?

Number FileI have seen that the final popular vote lead for Hillary Clinton was 2,868,686 votes. This number seems kind of bizarre. But was it actually true according to the final FEC report? Note: This number kind of creeps me out because it has 666 interspersed evenly throughout after the 2 in every even ...

IT'S A MESSAGE FROM THE OTHER DIMENSION
At least I wish it was
 
Humans being humans, seeing patterns where they don't really exist.
 
5:33 AM
Plot twist: The dust thing in interstellar that led to the greatest discovery of their time to save Earth was a fluke
If there was any conspiracy, why would they need to hide a seekrit message in an innocuous and irrelevant number? Wouldn't random digits hide their intentions better?
 
@Makyen this
also the origin of most conspiracy theories. We evolved to be exceptionally good at pattern recognition and sometimes that fact backfires.
 
Or imagine Cooper was a floating spirit messing with people in timelines
Spelling out "YO MAMMA'S FAT" with Morse and chirping
 
@Magisch Yep, very true.
 
OK now that's a spam seed
 
Seed? Where? grabs seed, planting in the ground
giving it the special Shadow Growth Accelerator
 
5:48 AM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I don't wanna know what that's made of
 
But you know.
enjoying the fruits of my new Spam Tree 🎄
 
6:00 AM
Just cast third del vote on two OT questions... Feels good. :P
 
6:24 AM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask There's a difference between casting first, second or third? ;)
 
Well, casting the last one just feels more satisfying, as you immediately see the post deleted
 
Weird. I never noticed...
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Don't let power get into your head
 
6:38 AM
36 messages moved to Chimney
 
7:05 AM
@Tinkeringbell yup
Third is most fun as it has instant result... ;)
@SonictheMaskedWerehog exactly!
@Tinkeringbell hide your diamond and you'll see :P
@M.A.R. my head is full with other things, no room for power in there.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Maybe some day I'll get enough reputation on a site to get regular delete votes again ;)
 
lol
Wait don't you have on IPS?? You're there for ages...
You have! 29k
So you can del vote without a diamond in there.
 
Only... if she didn't have the diamond. ;)
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Yeah, you're right. And I could before I got the diamond but because I have the diamond... well bladiblah :P
 
7:28 AM
taking away @Tink's IPS diamond
 
*confiscates it from Sha*
 
@Mithical I'd trust you with it :)
 
telling @Mith where the diamond was while I had it
 
@Tinkeringbell you obviously have lost your common sense I'm afraid. I should never be trusted with an IPS diamond
everything would wind up deleted
 
Like it doesn't when I have it :P
 
...fair
Here, @Sha, since you mentioned picture of the day:
I couldn't see a thing taking that
The sunglare made it impossible to see what was on my screen ;P
 
@Mithical thanks! Pic is a pic. ;)
 
7:50 AM
No, pic is blocked
 
8:10 AM
@M.A.R. it's too big for stack
Mith pics are big.
 
big pic is big
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask A tree with pickled pork hanging from it sounds horrifying.
 
@Magisch Sounds like a horror movie
Jack Nicholson starring as the tree
 
8:27 AM
@Magisch As long as it's neatly packaged/canned, I don't see the problem much.
 
@Magisch not pickled
@Tinkeringbell smell
 
Mmkay
Didn't consider smell
 
btw
my dad was a contender for longest sigh on record yesterday
"son why do you have a green cat as your avatar" "it's a catcus!"
3
 
8:43 AM
hahaha
 
Could you say he was a bit.... prickly?!
 
9:11 AM
@Magisch I try to make sure my parents never see my avatar
 
9:34 AM
@Magisch how he saw your avatar?
 
I talk to my dad on discord instead of telephone most times
 
Oh, nice. So your avatar is cross platform?
 
yea
 
 
3 hours later…

> I know deleting an account or creating multiple accounts won't help but what is the option for people who are learning to code by themselves? No one except the internet to read and learn?
XD the contradiction here is just too funny. :D
 
xD
 
1:50 PM
xR
 
Well no, that's a dead man emoji
 
Well, died laughing then. A good death if you ask me :)
 
Maybe xX is Poirot frowning
 
@M.A.R. Can't see it.

A good. It's a simulation. Can we please reset it and start over?
 
👎
 
You like this one?
 
@Tinkeringbell I would like to be a real life catcus
 
@Magisch Hmm. Does that mean you leave needles everywhere instead of cat hair?
Oh, and how does that work with rubbing things to scent-mark them?
 
2:28 PM
@Tinkeringbell cactus juice, of course
:p
and yes, it leaves dried needles everywhere, like a christmas tree
 
Hahaha :D
Did I ever tell the story about that one small cactus that ended up in our washing machine? I'm now imaging your catcus doing similar amounts of damage to favorite clothing pieces ;)
 
I'd be worried about the cactus first, and my clothing second.
 
Well the cactus was dead before it ended up in the washing machine so it fell apart quite spectacularly and ruined A LOT of clothes.
 
... oh.
 
Weekend! :D
 
3:30 PM
Shabbat Shalom!
@Tinkeringbell sounds familiar, you told it in the past, right? Anyway, that's horror story.. poor cactus... :D
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Is it already?
 
Found it!
Nov 4 '19 at 14:22, by Tinkeringbell
So my brother had this little cactus, managed to let it die (no water :|). Puts the dead brown cactus corps on top of the washing machine with the intent to later take it downstairs and throw it away...

Mom decided to go do laundry, somehow the cactus probably got stuck to a piece of laundry and in the machine.

One wash cycle later and *everything* is covered in little pieces of dead cactus spikes :|
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Yeah, I told it a few times across several rooms, I think ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell almost.. in less than hour I think.
Let me check...
 
It's tied to sunset, isn't it? That sounds rather confusing! At least Sundays always start at 00:00 ;)
 
3:33 PM
In one hour exactly. (7:30 PM in Tel Aviv)
 
bbl, dinner
 
@Tinkeringbell yup, from what I remember, the rule says when we see three stars in the sky. @Mith can give more details, probably. ;)
@Tinkeringbell so early?? lol
It's 5:30 pm for you, isn't it?
I eat dinner only at 9:30
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Brothers are the worst @Tink
 
@M.A.R. meh, my brother didn't pay much attention to me, he was too occupied fighting with the sister.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Oof, big family?
 
3:36 PM
@M.A.R your brother also washed a cactus?
 
I mean of course you are. The last generation went crazy with siblings
 
@M.A.R. nah, only three siblings, in Israel it's considered small.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask No but he has his own ways of being annoying, as do I
 
But for the non-orthodox, three is the average.
@M.A.R. only the orthodox, they do have 6-8 children in each family, literally. :D
 
Well it's just me and my "little" 6-foot brother
 
3:38 PM
6 foot... is it 180 cm?
I'm 178-180
Depends on the sun. ;)
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask At least, whatever horrible things have happened to Jews over the past century have helped some retain their beliefs
> for an approximate result, divide the length value by 3.281
 
@M.A.R. so you annoy him only as response to being annoyed by him, or also all on your own initiative? ;)
 
Google is so helpful. I might even give them personal information one day.
Wait. Whoops
 
@M.A.R. like your height and weight?
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I think you have more experience in siblinging and know about the subtleties involved
@ShadowWizardWearingMask How are those personal info?
You grow and shrink everyday
 
3:40 PM
@M.A.R. well here the daughter (older one) is annoying both others on a whim.
@M.A.R. well
Partially.
 
Especially me, my body is more easily thrown off balance and sometimes I have an extra two liters of water and sometimes two liters short
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Never change, Sha.
Not that you would have if I hadn't told ya
 
@M.A.R. let's ask people around here what's their height and weight, see what happens.... :P
 
But I'm expressing my support in your uncouth jolliness
 
3:41 PM
@rene what's your height and weight?
 
Leave him, he's probably only a few centimeters tall
 
@M.A.R. you can count on it. :D
@M.A.R. you'll be surprised.
Those quiet flowers can become gigantic.
 
Well those stink.
Literally.
 
nah
Not the white.
 
That one is colorblind
And @rene looks purple to me

3:44 PM
Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, has a larger inflorescence, but it is branched rather than unbranched. A. titanum is endemic to Sumatra. Due to its odor, like that of a rotting corpse, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the corpse flower or corpse plant (Indonesian: bunga bangkai—bunga means flower, while bangkai can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion). For the same reason, the title "corpse flower" is also attributed to the...
 
@M.A.R. you mean the holocaust? It caused the exact opposite. Great many Jewish people ditched their beliefs and God, and became non-orthodox. As side effect, less children.
 
Rob
A bit of both.
 
The main reasoning is "I can't believe in a God that allowed such a thing to happen".
With which I totally agree.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Out of fear or something else, like disillusionment?
Oh
Well, opinions are opinions. I always find that pseudo-logic lame in a few parts.
 
@M.A.R. so you're the one who is color blind. ;)
@M.A.R. sure, and in religion it twists so much it's no longer possible to have control over it.
 
3:46 PM
There's of course an interesting discussion to be had about that, which has been had since the dawn of humanity
 
No, really.
 
I doubt Adam and Eve discussed religion.
More likely they talked about snakes and apples.
And played Snake in their phone.
 
Check out atheistic arguments in disproving God and see if something catches your eye
@ShadowWizardWearingMask You're telling me Nokia are fossilized technology?
 
@M.A.R. Those silly "God can't create something that He can't lift, so God doesn't exist"?
 
3:47 PM
I think a certain lawyer from the company would like to talk to you
 
I'll pass, thanks. :D
 
Or maybe not. Every form of publicity and all that
 
@M.A.R. they have trademark over Snake??
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask That one I never considered anything more than a witticism from a self-assured arsehole grinning mockingly
 
dang, forgot my coffee now it's getting cold... cya!
 
3:49 PM
Just don't spoil good chocolate with cold coffee
@Tinkeringbell Separate the big X's two "hands"
 
Brought it to the computer
It's still warm-ish
Anyway:
So your brother it taller by about four cm than me, @M.A.R
I respect him for that. ;)
What's his weight?
Last time I checked I was 72 (kg), which is 2 more than what I used to be during my 30's....
I suspect I gained at least one more since then. :(
@M.A.R. if you separate them, and add another "x" in the middle you get something nice.
 
🌕🚽
 
huh? You put more emojis? Awesome! :P
Full moon over toilets? hmm... you mean toilets outside, in the nature?
It's very refreshing.
 
nasa is crowdsourcing for a moon toilet design
 
Is the secret of SpaceX toilets already revealed?
 
3:57 PM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Sure. 163cm
 
The secret of Nasa's toilets: they suck.
 
@user400654 there is gravity, so nothing should float. Guess the toilets will be similar to Earth. No?
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask no plumbing though
 
@Mithical and you finished growing?
 
way less gravity
 
3:59 PM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask probably
 
Rob
I thought it was a 🧀🚽, but that's the 🌛
 
@JohnDvorak in space they had no toilets from what I remember, they used plastic bags to collect the.... stuff.
 
That's the backup plan
in case the main system ... backs up.
 
@JohnDvorak hmm.. so those mobile toilets with blue chemicals.
@Rob cheese and toilets? Yeah, fits better.
@JohnDvorak lol
 
40
Q: Was there a backup plan in case the Shuttle toilet malfunctioned?

DrSheldonWhat was the plan in case the Space Shuttle toilet malfunctioned? How were the astronauts expected to then handle their waste? Did they carry Apollo-style fecal collection assemblies (poop bags)? Or did they just have extra fecal containment systems (diapers)?

 
4:02 PM
@JohnDvorak not NASA
They have toilets only in the Space Station.
A space toilet, or zero gravity toilet is a toilet that can be used in a weightless environment. In the absence of weight, the collection and retention of liquid and solid waste is directed by use of air flow. Since the air used to direct the waste is returned to the cabin, it is filtered beforehand to control odor and cleanse bacteria. In older systems, waste water is vented into space, and any solids are compressed and stored for removal upon landing. More modern systems expose solid waste to vacuum pressures to kill bacteria, which prevents odor problems and kills pathogens. == Background... ==

Do goats have religion?
 
If you know anything about animal religion - sure, tell.
 
@JohnDvorak well I know what @BlueSoul worships....
Oct 11 '17 at 12:40, by Derpy
How does he dare to not worship our unicorn mascot.
:D
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I have a wuthering height
 
@M.A.R. For once, you're right :)
@ShadowWizardWearingMask And this is late, usually it's at 5 PM when dad comes home. But he had a day off so it's not like my schedule matters then.
 
4:34 PM
@rene high!
@Tinkeringbell oh wow... But don't you get hungry by the time you go to sleep?
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I already typed that once today:
in The Awkward Silence on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 9 hours ago, by Ael
@Tinkeringbell If you eat this early, aren't you starving when it's time for bed?
Start there ^ XD
 
Welcome to your groundhog day
 
O.o You'd dare wish someone a groundhog day on a Friday, so they'd have an eternal day of 'almost but not yet weekend'?
 
@Tinkeringbell Once? Something broke inside me, I dunno, but it sounded like a vital organ
 
4:38 PM
Knowing you it was probably a kidney.
 
Well I can't go five hours without coffee, so I also have one at 1. (am ;))
But if I'd also eat dinner early, would have to eat late night, not just coffee with waffle.
 
@Tinkeringbell wait till we get to the VrijMiBo with the "borrelnootjes"
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I mean, one of my problems with New Year's Eve is that you're really hungry by the time it's time for bed, or ramped up with so much snacks that you can't sleep either :/
@rene If there's no bitterballen it's not a VrijMiBo ;)
 
Kids bath time, cya!
 
@Tinkeringbell agreed
bruine fruitschaal
 
4:44 PM
I'm honestly hoping the whole Corona thing is fixed some day. Going out sometimes to join some previous teammates at their VrijMiBo is one of the few things I am starting to miss after the last one was over half a year ago.
bruine fruitschalen are the best :)
 
yeah, we decided to have a vrijmibo next week.
 
(Even if they do have them now, which I don't know, I wouldn't be allowed to go as that would mean non-essential travel with a train during rush hour, and being at an office where I don't officially work which the company won't have)
@rene \o/ Yay!
 
Indeed we have to see if everyone can make it with the car. And I still have to take care because I want to visit my mom as well that weekend (she lives in an elderly home)
 
Oof, yeah, that's going to be hard...
 
it is risky.
 
4:50 PM
Yep, I know. My grandparents aren't in an elderly home but they're both kinda fragile too. They'll be over on Sunday, just because we can distance a bit more properly in our home than in their small house.
Next weekend I have a party, which means that it'll be at least three weeks before I'll see them again.
 
I saw her last sunday for the 1st time in almost 3 months. Only spoke with her over the phone a few times but it is utterly confusing for her.
 
Yeah, mine are only now beginning to 'get' it. When we went over just before Easter to drop off some flowers, she pulled me into a hug O.o
At that point, I don't think I'd even been working from home for 2 weeks.
 
it is scary. She lives way up north so I guess that helped.
 
Yeah, things went a lot better there without Carnival ;)
 
Correct!
I can assure you that even if my parents would have lived in Limboland they still wouldn't have done carnival.
 
5:00 PM
Hahaha same for my grandparents. I can't even imagine them at a party with low background music, let alone something as loud as carnival XD
 
Oh, carnival is about good music? See, I'm not well versed in that ;)
 
Not good music... loud music ;)
 
Almost the same ;)
 
For reference, at their 50th wedding anniversary the venue turned on some background music and dad was sent to the bar to ask them to shut that down... And that was just some music like you'd hear on Radio2 in a store, as background...
 
Nice.
 
5:04 PM
Depends on your definition of nice ;)
 
Be quiet everyone! I want to listen to the background noise ...
 
Well, often the background noise is a load more tolerable than dad's side of the family :P
 
Oh boy. I guess might be fun to observe that from a distance but if you're in the middle of it it can be maddening
 
Yeah, there's a certain amount of fun to be had observing things, but they just won't let you, they'll drag you in.
 
I'll stick to social distancing then for your family, sorry, no offense. ;)
 
5:11 PM
You made the perfect choice, none taken ;)
Wish I could too :P
 
Can't you file for an adoption? ;)
 
Hmm. I think I'll just wait until the apartment is finished, then I can time my own visits for things like birthdays, new year's day, Christmas and weekends, and just avoid everyone XD
 
adopting @Tink
 
Oh no. NO NO NO NO NO
Not happening.
 
@Tinkeringbell yeah, was that scheduled for this year to be ready? Or did the "crisis" had impact on that due date as well.
 
5:16 PM
It's still looking good, probably/hopefully finished by the end of the year :)
But I will still need to do the interior decorating at that point, so actually moving in might be next year.
Depends on how fast I can learn to paint and put down floors :)
 
Hmm, I'm of no use in that, sorry.
 
It's okay. I've looked up a bit already, it doesn't seem too hard.
 
The painter at my parents place once told me to add the peut to the paint. I asked How much? he said: Count to three. I decided at that moment that I was going for another career.
 
Ah yes. That's how my mom does add stuff when cooking.
 
It is ... disturbing
 
5:23 PM
It really is yeah, on the other hand, you get used to it...
 
5:36 PM
🛀🏼
 
I am getting a bathtub! :D
How nice of you to ask :)
I'm also getting a shipment of bath bombs tomorrow... :D
 
@Tinkeringbell :(
You'll get a room with my daughter!
She can be really nice.
 
I don't want anything to do with kids!
 
My youngest brother is 19 and still not acting like a grown up.
That's already hard enough XD
 
5:49 PM
I'm 42 and still don't act as grown up.
So you're still good. ;)
 
Even worse.
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I think you missed a decimal point there :P

@rene Lucky you! Still sweltering here...
 
yeah, temp dropped a bit as well.

9:21 PM
when someone undeletes their post so that they can leave me an @ comment and then re-deletes it
 
 
9:42 PM
@user400654 A thank you comment I hope?
 
no, just someone arguing for someone to be suspended for 10 years and lose 100 rep for posting self promoting answers
don't know what the significance of 100 rep is if they are suspended for 10 years, i suspect the 10 years isn't completely serious
 
@user400654 Think of all the interest they'll lose on that 100 rep.
 
Always ask for way more than you want and you might get more of what you want due to the anchoring effect.
You might combine it with reverse psychology - "please don't suspend them for 10 years..."
Add in some NLP and Jedi mind-tricks and the world is your oyster
 
i don't have the ability to unilaterally undelete it
so i can't exactly respond
 
- The Neckbeard's Guide to Success
@user400654 you don't have to respond
 
9:56 PM
i wasn't planning to
not much value in it
 
ah
I presumed you were a mod on another site, was a little surprised to see a link to meta.stackoverflow
 
just thought the whole... undelete to comment and then redelete was cute
 
I wonder if we're going to get tallies of our "thanks"...
The Thankers are showing up in the post timeline and about half of them (from what I have seen) have too little rep to vote...
This could be a useful indicator of voter fraud for use by regular users...
 
I'm surprised we haven't seen any "Why is my post downvoted?! someone thanked it!"
 
That was one of my worries. I guess it is a good sign that didn't happen so far
 
10:10 PM
downvotes and thanks to throw them off the trail "um, the other guy downvoted."
 
it's just coincidence that you cast a thanks at the same time
that's kinda why i'm against them not being anonymous. Even if there were more reactions, if you're clicking reactions, you've also likely recently or will soon cast a vote, assuming you have the ability to do so
 
well give it time... these sites are too big for it to not happen.
 
so it gives some... less than accurate things people can use to cast blame
right or wrong
etc
 
that's why, for greater transparency, we need a full public accounting of every logged-in user who can vote that reviewed the page.
We can have an app that surreptitiously scans the clipboard and sends the contents in.

Maybe we could get the tiktok devs to help us out
 
How happy are we for this happy hour?
 
very happy!
 
Awesomeeee!
How are you, Aaron? Where have your journeys taken you this week?
 
I went all the way across the street and down the block to Trader Joes to stock up so I can make myself food while my wife visits her sister! Otherwise - self-imposed lockdown!
 
Good deal! Social distance is important.
 
10:52 PM
I have all my skill points in it.
 
I'm still going into the office for work (software developer, so... I'm a little... peeved about that) but same sorta thing here. Trying to stay in.
 
Gotta do whatcha gotta do!
 
Yeeeessir!
