Can someone link me to the FAQ (I think) which has the privilege table for private public and designed sites. Thanks

?

A: What are the reputation requirements for privileges on sites, and how do they differ per site?

Sites There are three main types of privilege thresholds (sorted from high to low): Stack Overflow and graduated sites with a design (example) public betas and non-designed sites (example) private betas and this Harvard University site Some sites have a unique privilege (level) schema: Ask ...

@JourneymanGeek think I have too much reasons Disney bugs me off by now...

iBug says Reinstate Monica

1:43 PM

This post may warrant immediate deletion. It seems like an online exam laid out via Google Forms (see the bottom of the post).

@iBugsaysReinstateMonica needs one more delvote (@Sonic?)

This is the first time I heard of reentrant polyhedra

quite a few are just weird; bad translation?

@iBugsaysReinstateMonica wooooow they didn't even delete the footer.

To save you some time, no site on this network will take a list of your homework questions and do them for you though. — Rubiksmoose 59 secs ago

Hopefully that will save some Math.se users a close vote.

I also love how at least 90% of the questions require graphics that weren't provided to answer.

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

2:00 PM

@Mithical sorry, missing 5k. Can't, question too recent.

Can we talk about the travesty that is this website though: deeperlifehighschool.org

There's currently no way to get to the homepage because of a popup that give you the option to go to exam results... except there is no option to say no XD

i mean

there's always an option

No easy non-technical option :P

I should have known better

lol

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

@Rubiksmoose and then, plot twist. It was all so that you would visit the site and get infected with a cryptominer :P

hahaha I'd almost have to be impressed by the subtlety and effort that went into that.

2:07 PM

No flash of unstyled content. Impressive. I mean... it's not exactly a flash

And two different frequencies of blinking text? How did that happen?

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

Also, kinda unrelated, I wonder how many users will recognize the character I posted a few messages above (and she isn't even a pony. @ShadowWizardWearingMask should be amazed)

oh gosh I didn't even notice the different frequencies. Just the freaking blinking colored text

Too deep life high school

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе I was going to ask actually, but got distracted. Dasiy Duck?

You can go to the home page. You just can't read it.

2:10 PM

come to think of it, it is a duck. I thought it was a penguin.

@JohnDvorak Fantastic XD

The transmit form is beautifully styled.

Journeyman Geek

@Rubiksmoose I have a special comment reason for hopework

Too bad you can't get the printed form if you don't have a pin code, and you'll have to make do with an online submission.

@JourneymanGeek I like to imagine that hopework was intentional meaning posting a question hoping someone will do your homework for you.

2:12 PM

It gets better. It turns out they only accept payments from one specific bank.

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

@Rubiksmoose nope. Reginella. Originally created in Italy, then become somehow know in all Europe (sometime with a different name). It is a character from a series of stories that have span over the course of many years....

I was tempted to ask OP for the PINCODE

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

First appearance was in year 1972.... then she popped again in some stories now and then.

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе but...that's not an alliteration! What travesty is this.

... why are some submenus lowercase, while some are all-caps?

2:15 PM

some are more important than others

disney.fandom.com/wiki/Reginella

It's not often that the byline for a Disney wiki article teaches me a new word...

At least the physical location looks f... hold on... how do you close the photo in their photo gallery?

A hypocorism ( hy-POK-ər-iz-əm or hy-pə-KOR-iz-əm; from Ancient Greek: ὑποκόρισμα (hypokorisma), from ὑποκορίζεσθαι (hypokorizesthai), 'to call by pet names') or pet name is a name used to show affection for a person or object. It can be a diminutive form of a person's name, such as Izzy for Isobel or Bob for Robert, or it can be unrelated. == See also == Nickname Term of endearment == References == == External links... ==

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

@Rubiksmoose You want the travesty? That character was the center of a "what-if" fantasy story. In that version, Daisy probably didn't exist - never mentioned - so she took the place of Donald special someone. And then... Disney had to basically COD its own artists.

@JohnDvorak by opening a new one obviously!

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе COD?

2:19 PM

cash on delivery

oh dear

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

@Rubiksmoose Cease or desist.

ah ok

No objection to their computer lab being a regular classroom with a stack of laptops, but why didn't they provide any mice?

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

or was it C&D - Cease & Desist?

Journeyman Geek

2:20 PM

@Rubiksmoose 😁

I was having a bit of fun/horror imagining Disney Call of Dutying their artists.

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

I always confuse acronyms.

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе That's the one I'm more familiar with. But yikes.

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

But what I meant is that Disney basically "told" some artists that if they wanted to keep working they had to stop presenting the character as Donald love interest since Daisy.

at least that was what I got from the whole incident. I was lucky enough to actually meet one of those artists in real life.

"Can you draw a Reginella picture for me?"
"Know what??... they told me to avoid drawing her with Donald... but they didn't say I couldn't draw her with... PK."

🎠

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

2:25 PM

I fear what Disney could do to Marvel if they were the ones reviewing the plot for the comics.

I wonder how much did they interfere with the original PK comic too.

For those unfamiliar with PK, that would be Paperinik, Donald superhero version. Again, originally made in Europe, some time ago about at the time W.I.T.C.H. was made Disney Italy made a comic called PK which was based on an alternate reality, having Donald fighting aliens

Became quite popular in Europe, to the point even a videogame was made.

Then... the story suddenly changed.

Is...chat autosuggest broken

chat has autosuggest?

id find it hard to believe that chat was the one implementing it, given how old this is

2:32 PM

ah

well

mine works

@Rubiksmoose I don't think so.

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

Season one, could easily be passed for a Marvel comic if it wasn't for Donald.

Again, I suspect it was deemed "not Disney enough"

user image

Maybe it's just Nevermore it is broken for XD

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

@Rubiksmoose let me guess, you actually tried to write nevE?

It's not an "n"

2:38 PM

Well I guess that explains it then lol

It's a Nu

he pulls up with just an @ for me

Right, because that's what SE does for users whose usernames don't start with an alphanumeric character

ahhhhhh

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

the name, is written using various homoglyphs. I actually made that on purpose during the big Meta fire age.

when I kinda got annoyed of the never-ending Tavern drama and left.

to remind me to stay away, I used the name "Nevermore", displayed only on this site (the user was still called "Derpy" everywhere else)

and to limit pings I used weird characters.

I assume that I could change it back now.... but I am kinda lazy.

I should also change the picture.

3:29 PM

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе No need to on my account. I was just confused. :)

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе and by limit pings, you mean PROMOTING ANARCHY

limit pongs

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

3:52 PM

@Aibobot Still better than a name that pings everyone....

@Νеvеrꭑoꭇе neither of my accounts get pinged maybe more than 2-3 times a day :D

Q: He who must not be named? (aka Anyone can ping everyone in chat)

For some or other reason, typing @ᔕᖺᘎᕊ in a chat room pings everyone who's been in that chat room for the last 7 days... Seems to work in all chat rooms (I only tested 2 as I don't want to upset too many people...) How should we proceed?

bug status-completed chat ping

4:30 PM

@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ

Did it work?

Doesn't work anymore :P

And if it did you would have lots of angry people.

@Rubiksmoose 😬😬

ya, was fixed
