How was your vacation?

Was great, thanks for asking @Tinkeringbell

had nice weather, did some fun things

Sounds good!

Yeah, we went on a walk with a donkey, the kids really loved that

@Luuklag Ahh, I've heard about those!

@JNat another one: stackexchange.com/users/20705176/xaid045?tab=accounts

@Tinkeringbell Yeah it was fun. The donkey knew exactly where to go. I bet it had walked that route hundreds of times.

@Luuklag you mean... it was a smart ass? :D

@JourneymanGeek 😂

haha yeah, and also a whole lot of ass ;)

Ah it was also a ...

I think I'll leave it at that :D

@JourneymanGeek a donkey

Quite smart, apparently; it posted a selfie on their Twitter feed yesterday:

That's a nice jacket, where did you get it?

@Luuklag wait, what?! lol

:D

feature-request have Smokey auto post this pic whenever there's no human activity in the room for several hours.

@g3r daughter gives you more time to lurk here now? ;)

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard o/ heh, it's just one more way to procrastinate

@g3rv4 what do you mean? ;)

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard I only lurk on work hours :)

before, I could have said it's part of work

@g3rv4 oh lol

:P

@Feeds happy to see articles now give rep! at first I thought it didn't matter... it took me a while to realize I preferred documenting stuff in Q&A format because I'd get rep

I think they should have gone with +15 +20 instead of +10... because it's very common on internal Q&As to get an upvote both on the Q and the A

🚽

@g3rv4 have a Rep Hunter hat!

Give rep based on word count ... no wait .. that is a bad idea ....

the dynamic of interactions in internal spaces is very different from public spaces

Is it a better dynamic?

I wouldn't give rep based on word count... but... rep is still a good motivator internally

I was surprised by this

when I realized I was adjusting my behavior optimizing for rep

@rene it depends :P

@user400654 k

@g3rv4 so... SE docs 2.0? :D

@JourneymanGeek heh, I don't think people optimize only for rep on an internal environment... especially if it's work related, usually the #1 concern is remaining employed :P

lol

@g3rv4 well - bragging rights ? :D

@JourneymanGeek heh, at least bragging rights have more inherent value than cryptocurrencies

lol

Hmm. Wow. I made a question, it got answered, and I took a break from Stack Exchange for 3 weeks. I come back and the question has 28 more upvotes, and 4k views. The most views I've ever had on a question. Must have been a good question! And now I have 404 more rep in Aviation Stack Exchange than 3 weeks ago. But, now I have a first questions tab.

And I have no idea what to do with it. Like, how do I know when it is the best time to close a question for example?

Wait and I also asked a second question 3 weeks ago, which also has 4k views now, and 17 more upvotes.

Oh my, and I have 5 silver badges! What a surprise! I must have asked 2 really great questions. I really didn't think they'd be so interesting to the Aviation Stack Exchange community, but now many people in that community are answering and commenting the questions. I need to get used to this.

hmm... "conversation theory" is that a typo or have i been reading it wrong all along

wrt meta.stackexchange.com/a/364002/200898

looks like a typo

@user400654 probably meant to be "conversion therapy"

That's what i was thinking, but i didn't want to assume due to never hearing conversation theory prior, and it actually being a thing

Oh, i actually misread the answer

it said therapy not theory

now my brain is fried and i keep reading conservation

@user400654 if it was just conversation it wouldn't be horribly dangerous

that Jon Skeet comment styling question on meta.so cracks me up

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard You go to a donkey farm, you rent one, and walk a route. They have pre-set routes, so you really can't get lost. Then donkey knows the way

@JohnDvorak I mean... never know now days

Testing three-vote close and reopen on 13 network sites

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog have a star

and my bow

now all it needs is a balloon

Yay, closure!
