@Rob Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I saw the post about that tables were now possible, so my first thought was. Lets convert 4 pages of post data to a table. Pain in the arse manually.
@Catija we could chat about possible attribution-FAQs in The Sphinx's Lair later, but I'm sleepy and about to sign off for the night. (You can also talk to the other people in there if y' want)
@rene I assume you do realize that is a model kit... How would go at it otherwise? It is not like you can use your hands to make a rice ball when the pieces have to be glued togheter....
@JourneymanGeek yeah especially because of that. What is the point in editing such stuff that is ages old, only to add 1 letter and some random crap to circumvent system restrictions
@cigien my apologies. I forgot that people can always ask about their own questions on meta, so I've edited my comment here to reflect that... No clue why that happened, I'm usually the one reminding others of that possibility XD
Hmmm I ran into an orange bar notification to load new answers on GD.SE... the color looks really off but it's my first time seeing it. Is it typically orange on MSE?
You can report that, I guess, but I've never seen that particular banner before, on any site. It's always the gray bar with "1 new answer to this question".
@Tinkeringbell Oh, that's interesting. It can be posted, but needs a link to a main question. Thanks for editing the comment. Though it appears MSE is fine with the question so far anyway.
@user Or just game theory. Present two buttons to click. If everybody clicks the same button, everybody is allowed in. Otherwise, they have to repeat the challenge.
@Randal'Thor I don't know whether it's possible, but I kinda wonder whether we could take into account the URL of the page someone was trying to get to and serve different text depending on it - so, for example, if someone's followed a URL to a deleted question, maybe we could display something that recognizes "It looks like the question you found was deleted, if you can't find another similar one, consider asking the question yourself" or something... I don't know all of the reasons people end up on 404s but it'd be interesting to get some JIT help there. — Catija ♦21 mins ago
@Catija I'm pretty sure this already exists
you get either a "this was deleted for moderation reasons" page or "the owner decided to remove this post"
@Slate The myth is that he Theseus was offered as a tribute to the king Minos. Where the whole Minotaur thing happened. He then returned to his father Aegus, however forgot to put down the black sails (they were sign of the Minos tributary ships) and Aegus seeing it from afar thought Theseus had died and threw himself in the sea. Supposedly, that's why it's called "the Aegian sea".
@VLAZ Oh, huh. That's one hell of a mistake, but it makes sense. Thanks for the summary, at some point I should really get better acquainted with Greek history, just hasn't been a very high priority so far for me
> This will likely form the corpus of a “moderator emeritus” program, one which will allow communities to recognize and honor those who have served as moderators, while also giving them a consistent and recognizable stable of mentors for new mods and new users. We will recognize these emeritus moderators with some icon similar to the diamond that mods wear today.
> They will also retain access to a more limited set of the moderator tools, to allow them to surge in and support existing moderators if needed, but also allow them a graceful transition out of the role.
I am quite interested in what the plans for this are.
@JourneymanGeek, have you been pinged?
@Slate But rocks are more difficult to break by throwing at stuff, therefore they can also be re-used more times. I might have to ask this on sustainability SE though 🤔
@Catija ...so, be honest, Catija, and -- don't mind this voice recorder here on the table, trust me, it's off. Have you been poked with a sharp stick yet?
My MiL is bound and determined to get out of the country this year and she lives in Ohio... so she's just waiting for those travel bans to be dissolved... though, apparently the US can go to the UK now without a quarantine, so that's good.
@KylePollard I'm imagining it's a legal requirement. We'd need some more elaborate wording, like... I don't know, Stack Exchange, Inc. maintains its employees' health and safety, including but not limited to avoiding exposing employees to sticks, esp. sharpened. However, by submitting this job application, you release Stack Exchange from all liability for sharp-stick-related injuries occurring in the workplace.
@Spevacus You can put syrup, or eggs and bacon, on the waffles, you can eat them, you can throw them at SE employees. You can't do any of that with unicorns.
@Tinkeringbell oh yeah, because Prosus is Dutch...
@Ollie “throw them at SE employees” depends on the weight of the unicorn. Just make sure not to hit them with the horn as those might legally count as sharp sticks (idk I’m not a lawyer)
@Wolgwang I think so, yes... search Meta.se for 'complete rate limiting', it should give you a post that has those three words in the title... it should have a section on chat that includes the limit.
I was really happy to be a US citizen, and I feel a bit bad that vaccine distribution took as long as it did (or still does? I don't follow it too closely) to get to other countries.

@Ollie Yeah, I got the Moderna one. First shot was a complete walk in the park, the second sucked.
First one hit me hard, second one I treated myself like I was already sick starting a couple days beforehand, and that seemed to help a bunch... n=1, no control, though.
@Slate It's general advice here, so it probably has some merit. Take two paracetamol before getting your second shot, and make sure to be well-hydrated too. Then keep up the paracetamol and hydration for 24 hours.
Best of luck with the dice. No matter how it goes, after a couple days, it'll be a huge relief. Have a good weekend :)
@Tinkeringbell Yup, pretty much. Lots of water, solid and balanced meal, good sleep... made a huge difference. And if needed yeah, OTCs can touch up the rest nicely, a lot of the time.
