What happened to the good office benefit for the CM application? Was it removed or am I making it up?

Journeyman Geek

there was never one?

user707129

I swear I remember seeing something like access to a office with good facilities...

Journeyman Geek

Pretty sure the CM team has always been remote - If memory serves it was... "we'll get you everything you need to set up"

ah!

there was a benefit saying they'd give you an allowance to set up your office before

I think it got changed with the last revision

user707129

Oh ok. Makes sense.

user707129

All I definitely remembered is that there was something about an office :)

whats happy fun ball?

Journeyman Geek

YOU DO NOT TAUNT IT!

John Dvorak

Cats can be happy fun balls... as long as you obey their schedule for everything.

Do not use the Tavern for extended experiments, we have a sandbox for that: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/1196/… Take it there.

@rene You cant ask smokey there to send an @

Also, experiment worked. The characters are legal.

rene

Run your own instance of Smokey then. That also has the benefit that it won't add to the rate-limiting of the main instance.

Queenie Goldstein

Yes, good idea

Mithical

Side note: The Smokey account is very close to breaking 30,000 unread inbox messages.

John Dvorak

How long until 32768?

@QueenieGoldstein also, if you're interested in Zalgo abuse, see this question

We have to investigate if the number of unread messages is stored in an i16 (and later u16)!

I would be surprised if it was anything less then an int, given the default advice for both C# and Sql Server.

I just discovered a new site that's wholesale scraping the Stack Exchange network without attribution. Neat.

I've reported it via the contact form, but i wonder whether just one report on one site really does it justice :P

another major hurricane making landfall that's going to force family to evacuate and stay with us again, twice in one year

actually don't know if they're coming up here to us, it's going to pass through us too, just in a far weaker state

Wasabi

4:39 PM

I really don't think that the title is very productive.

rene

4:49 PM

Exactly

Spevacus

Needs one more kaboom vote.

Wasabi

Yeah. It's like they're trying to make you view it because you won't know what it's about until you view it. Also, making titles like "Please Help" wastes the feature that suggests similar questions, since you aren't describing your question at all through your title.

Mithical

It's gone now. o-o

Was that you?

Spevacus

4:54 PM

Just some >20k user delete votes.

Wasabi

what happens when you make a bounty on a question that then gets deleted or closed?

Spevacus

@Wasabi Bounties actually prevent questions from being closed, and closed questions cannot be bountied.

If a bountied question requires closure, then a moderator needs to manually remove the bounty.

Wasabi

then what happens to the bounty? does it go back to the person who set it?

Man, I want to get rep on SE because it's fun to help people and show how much you help people, but all of the questions on Meta are really hard to answer -_-

I'm in to D&D and rp a whole lot more than I am into computer making.

Or fixing code stuff

Spevacus

@Wasabi From the FAQ on bounties, if a mod clears the bounty, the bounty poster's rep is recalculated as though they had never posted the bounty in the first place.

Wasabi

oh.

Well that's better for the user, so that's great

Spevacus

5:03 PM

@Wasabi Well, there's totally an RPG Stack Exchange site. You might like it there :)

Wasabi

I just realized that the sound I've been hearing all this morning is the sound SE makes when I'm pinged

I thought it was something else until I heard it load and I got freaked out

Okay

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@user400654 oh, ouch. What's the name of the hurricane?

@Wasabi LOL... so here is another one. ;)

BTW, it's from Star Trek.

@Wasabi wow, I love D&D too. Played the classic D&D (with paper, pencils, and cubes) as a kid, until I was 18. Also played actual D&D games on PC, like Champions of Krynn if you heard about it. Loved every second, and every Aurak killed was achievement. ;)

Wasabi

I also play rp games that involved space, like Kerbal Space Program. It's definitely worth the 30 dollars and a bunch of data. It's really realistic, and I have a first-hand experience because I burned up in the atmosphere 112 times before I learned how to do things

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Wasabi nice!

Wasabi

And each time I burned up, I had wasted 9=15 minutes

so I was really burnt by the time I learned how to fly a spaceship. It's ot fun when you die, but otherwise that, it's great.

No Man's sky is another good game, it just involves multiple other people.

Science Fiction and Fantasy seems a lot more laid back than meta. I can ask a question that doesn't need to be horribly off topic

Mithical

5:19 PM

Oh, it's not laid back. It just appears to be.

Protip: Do not get involved with SFF policy discussions.

Oh wow! You're like... 38k in Science Fiction and Fantasy as well?! How can one become such high rep in two sites? Wow. o_o

that's cool. 38k in two sites. すばらしい！

Queenie Goldstein

5:34 PM

you can buy rep at shop

Wasabi

?!?

What?

Queenie Goldstein

Go to top right corner, you'll see

on Stackexchange.com

not here

it's like 100 USD for 5k rep

Wasabi

I'm not seeing it

Is that how you guys get rep?

Mithical

@QueenieGoldstein what the heck are you talking about

rene

No, mine is all legit.

Mithical

5:37 PM

you can't buy rep

Wasabi

cool

Legit rep is the best

because it's hard-earned and real

rene

still fake internet points

Wasabi

yeh, but it shows how much you help people

and contribute to a community

Yay! I asked my first question and it hasn't been closed 2 minutes later for off-topic or duplicate like the first 3 questions I ever asked in two other sites!

*first question that I've asked in SFF

Spevacus

There is no rep

Only zuul

Wasabi

What

Spevacus

5:43 PM

Precisely.

Wasabi

what? なに？

does anybody here speak Japanese?

Zuul is a genus of herbivorous ankylosaurine dinosaur from the Campanian Judith River Formation of Montana. The type species is Zuul crurivastator. It is known from a complete skull and tail, which represents the first ankylosaurin known from a complete skull and tail club, as well as the most complete ankylosaurid specimen thus far recovered from North America. The specimen also preserved in situ osteoderms, keratin, and skin remains.

From Wikipedia /\

Oh wow, you guys were right. I need 50 rep to comment everywhere in SFF dang

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Wasabi once you reach 200 in one site, you're set for life. :)

Wasabi

really? cool!

Does anybody know the answer to this question?:

Q: How many Droids could the CIS Traid Federation landing craft carry

I have seen sources that say things like how many droids does the landing craft carry, but does that include the droids in the Multi Troop Carriers? Because there are 11 Multi Troop Carriers and a lot of Platoon Attack craft, so with the number of droids inside of the Landing craft combined with ...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Not me. 😢

@Wasabi yeah, it's called association bonus... With 200 rep on one site, you get +100 bonus on all other sites.

So you start with 101 which allow to comment on any post, and even create chat rooms.

Wasabi

Does anyone here speak japanese? わたし　が　日本語ぎいん。

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

5:55 PM

@Wasabi not me

I speak עברית

Wasabi

...

What language is that?

n'iIy

is what I see

日本語 means Japanese in Japanese. It is said "Nihongo" and pronounced "Nii-Hon-go" the o's are pronounced flat. Example: the O in hon and go in Nihongo are pronounced like the O in Orange. all vowels in Japanese don't "slur" like English does

Meta Andrew T.

まぁ、少しい話せますが…

Wasabi

Example: English O letter said pronounced like this: "Ouw" (ou not like auw but ohw), while japanese is pronounced like this: "OOO" (Not like oooooh, but like O')

あ！やっった！

Meta Andrew T.

@Wasabi Shadow speaks Hebrew by the way :)

I speak Japanese

Q: What does UniCoin Reputation to the max do

I've just got my hands on stackoverflow's Unicoins. At the powerup store, I can by "Repuation to the max". The description is "Increase your own reputation by a settable factor". That is very vague. I'm interested to know what that means exactly and how many reputations will I get by purchasing...

yes

click the "SmokeDetector" link at the beginning of the message to learn more

Wasabi

Lol I just figured out that the "chimney" is called that because smoke detector's name is smoke detector.

but then...

Lol again because I was reading what is in the chimney and I saw that @Ollie was saying "why" to the smoke detector and it kept on saying "that is not a report"

Is that how it works? You tell it a "report" and it does something?

I'm hearing what sounds like someone running on my roof.

and I'm like 9_9

now my house is vibrating.

Now I'm wondering if whatever is making the vibrating is making the running sound or is whatever is making the running sound causing the vibrating

user400654

both?

Possibly

Have any of you guys 'ever had a stink bug in your room?

It stinks

*Not the smell... although the smell stinks, that is not what I was referring to

I mean flies are no big deal. Stink bugs aren't that bad, it' just that they are really distracting since they are so big. The other annoying part is of all the flying insects I know, Stink bugs have the highest tendency to fly right past my ear

And it sounds like a bee or a horsefly since stinkbugs flying 1 inch from your ear is 25 decibels. That's why it freaks me out when they do that

... and now I don't know where it is... but it's in my room somewhere...

I hear its wings buzzing often... It's unpleasant.
