NGL, I do like the idea... and the piglets and mama pig are quite cute ... if we overlook the glaring issue of a horizontal butt... and I can't do that.
@JohnDvorak I have worse. Don't click the link if you're in a place where other people can see your screen, and also don't if you do not like 'uncanny valley' stuff.
@TheLittleNaruto from my records, you should've received that swag in early 2016 ā I see an email exchange between the both of us in Feb. '16, and never heard back from you, so I assumed it'd gotten to you?
Hahaha yeah it was me. I tend to delete those as that means when an OP comes back and sees their deleted question, they at least won't have the benefit of also finding an answer there.
(actually when training new co-workers on the finer points of running queries for the devs, I intentionally typo, act dumb and walk them through finding the issue :D )
@JourneymanGeek Still, the most annoying part of my job is cleaning up messes other people made. My coworker has just had 2 weeks of vacation, and last week at least three things came by that he 'made' that needed a fix in some way or another.
Perhaps it is better if you copy most of your post into an answer, and leave a short question. That way we allow for more discussion on the question at hand "the ideal SE mindset", and in that way people can value both your question and answer seperately. — Luuklag24 secs ago
@Luuklag Ehhh... I'm not sure how a discussion on an ideal SE mindset is relevant and I'm almost done finishing an answer adding nuance to most of OPs points....
But sure, I can hold back on posting that and see what happens with the post, I wouldn't mind it if it was closed or edited.
I don't know either. I think 'ideal SE mindset' is vague enough to be too opinion based and unclear.... And yes, the rest of the post seems mostly rambling.
It could probably also help if you could clarify why the ideal SE mindset should be discussed here. Asking us what the ideal mindset is seems nice, but what kind of problem would we be solving here by all just posting our opinions on what we think is ideal? What goal does knowing about the ideal mindset work towards? — Tinkeringbell ♦12 secs ago
I'm content :) Just had a first chat with the new contractor, and there's a possibility I might still get light grey wall tiles in the shower/toilet instead of white ones :)
If everything goes okay and they get all the paperwork in order in the next few weeks, they start building again early February :D
Over here corona was definitely mentioned as one of the things that would likely delay the build. Orders that can't be fulfilled or measures that mean only limited numbers of people there at a time...
Still, they're hoping to have it finished around July/August... (again, with a really, really big "IF")
I do wonder... 'all changes made by other users since your last edit'... That means that if one of you makes an additional edit, I'll automatically roll back to rev 3?
@Spevacus I wonder how much 'trouble' that is going to cause... of course it's only shown to the original author of the post so other people just rolling back one revision shouldn't be an issue.
@Glorfindel ...like we got used to the new line-height? I wouldn't be as irritated if they actually made a post saying they were going to do this and what we thought about it.

Meta sites, but especially Meta Stack Exchange, see a lot of 'lost souls', users who have no idea that they're on Meta (e.g. because of a suboptimal email or a Stack Overflow question ban) and post a question which might or might not be on-topic on another Stack Exch...
I went to that entry not long ago and SE gave me the "Hey, you've been here before. Don't forget to upvote the question and answers if they helped you!" banner. This proves that even Stack Exchange sponsors the "Upvoted because Glorfindel" reasoning.
Just FYI, the capitalization of the post menu buttons and the fact that user scripts broke are two separate issues. At the same time that was done, the CSS class name for those buttons also changed, which is what broke scripts. That's a completely separate change that doesn't require implementing the other.
@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog Like, "The egg didn't break because I fell over, but because I dropped it. Just happens that the two events were nearly simultaneous."
@AdrianMole A while ago, the CSS class name for vote counts was changed, leading to no outward change as to how those work but breakage for user scripts.
Similarly, SE could have changed the capitalization but kept the class name the same, and no scripts would have been broken.
Of course, I understand your point. But the fact that the devs made those two changes at the same time (neither without any prior notice or 'consultation') is, IMHO, an issue.
I want to try out the new rollback button. Deface this post please? :D
Another rollback button test, Shadow wanted to see if it appears for low rep users.
