Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

2:37 AM

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (also known as T3) is a 2003 science fiction action film, the third installment in the Terminator franchise and a sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, directed by Jonathan Mostow and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, Claire Danes, and Kristanna Loken.

@forestdistrustsStackExchange thanks for pointing that out. That is deliberate, there are a lot of bare links out there. But it should be turned off for links to other Stack Exchange posts on the same site, since these bare links are automatically rendered. I'll correct that.

About the dead links: those links were dead when the script encountered them. It just can't distinguish a site which is temporarily down with one that is permanently down, just like a real human.

Well, a real human could wait a day and see if it's still broken. That would be rather difficult to program, for a situation that only happens once in a blue moon and is easy to revert.

@ShadowWizardisVaccinating that bug of mine has more to do with lazy loading images without reserving the room fir them in the layout, making it jump. Here something is genuinly broken. — Luuklag Jan 13 at 18:46

So, they're both off-topic; if they're both identical.

You're still not making much sense. No question was off-topic.

You can clearly see that the link PallavSharma was trying to share with coworkers has that #<answerid> the answer to that post you just quoted Luuklags comment from is talking about. This is the link PallavSharma was trying to share: stackoverflow.com/a/64319712/1731459, which neatly redirects to stackoverflow.com/questions/804115/… which has that #answerid part.

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 All the pieces were falling into place, sunglasses, Bach, Terminator, and well you, our chat mascot. I originally snagged the pic to practice "Transform" function, to straightten your T-shirt. But my head was in teaching myself SQL, so I only had enough marbles to find you some grooo-vy shades. I thought the diamond encrusted ones might send the wrong message!

would it be out of place to mention this here?

in Sloshy the Thawman on Stack Overflow Chat, 15 mins ago, by sloshy

On https://chat.stackoverflow.com/ and https://chat.stackexchange.com/, chat rooms will freeze after some two weeks of inactivity. While this is fine and status-bydesign, some rooms are worth keeping around for a longer time for various reasons; for example, some communities have rooms which are...

@tripleee Not sure what the point of mentioning it is? :P Nice name though!

tripleee

it was discussed here a bit previously when I was struggling to get enough rep for the bot, if nothing else

actually I curse the day I came up with that name because it inevitably starts "Frosty the Snowman" playing in my head

which then invariably medleys into "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

Can we vlq this: meta.stackexchange.com/q/367085/158100 ? Technically it is clear what is asked.

@GWarner Well, I'm impressed. And even more happy you think of me as the local mascot. :D

@Rob can imagine some use cases, yeah.

@Luuklag when school starts? Here it starts at 8:15, so I get up at 7, and leaving the house with the kid(s) at 8.
