The only other person to walk by was a linguist back in the 80s, but she just spent a while dissecting the phrase 'help me down' before getting distracted by a squirrel and wandering off.

Pendant Alert: They used a very slightly different color on their own website, than the exact color provided to Stack Exchange - With the money for a top of the line design Dept. you'd think that Google would document their colors and instruct others consistently - so Cat's version checks out:

2:04 AM

@Rob For the Cloud logo, #4285F4 is the correct brand color for Google Blue (see, e.g., this blog post). It looks like it's an SVG rendering issue (reproduces for me as well but with a different wrong color, no idea why) - the SVG source specifies fill="#4285F4".

I couldn't find any authoritative source on the Go logo color, and indeed, those are inconsistent - golang.org uses #00acd7 and the Collective uses #00ADD8.

I'm all for it being a different reason too, browser, SVG Library, etc. --- Just though it was fun to check, and funny to find it was off.

Yeah, it's a good observation...I'm super curious why it's not rendering with the color specified in the SVG itself in at least some cases.

For the Go Logo I used their website, similarly for the Google Cloud icon I used their FavIcon.

It's unexplained that if the same SVG was used in each case, the same browser, and same color picker, why there would be a minute difference; and two people agree it's different,but not on the values. FWIW: FF Android and Pixolor, Samsung S9+.

Firefox Nightly on Win10, taking screenshots and looking at the color in MSPaint

Also, for the Google Cloud logo, all colors are a bit off (not just the blue).

I could barely see it, and I thought "I bet the colors are different"; turned out ...

2:18 AM

Yeah, actually the colors on that blog post don't match the internal reference I have either...the SVG file source matches the internal reference almost, except that the yellow is off by 1.

Reference URLs: blog.golang.org/stackoverflow cloud.google.com/support/docs/stackexchange

Also perhaps unsurprisingly, the fact that "go" is a common English word makes searching for the information on the official color/logo for that rather difficult...

Use "Go Language" then Google AI knows what you are looking for. 👍

Aha, found it... had to search using "gopher", amusingly enough...

blog.golang.org/go-brand

Which specifies #00ADD8, making the Collective's SVG source correct and golang.org, curiously, incorrect.

2:35 AM

Score one, for The Collective logo:

I want to thank all the people who post on MSE instead of SO/Maths/Physics/Chemistry and the rest of the SE network.

Journeyman Geek

Lol

I think I might get one if I quit as a mod 🤣

@Sha you saw the K"Sh news?

6:50 AM

@Mithical this sounds awfully NSFW, but I guess its just hebrew ;)

7:02 AM

...yeah. Short for Kiryat Sh'mona.

Journeyman Geek

@JNat stackexchange.com/users/22195743/miyahealth one for the backlog

7:21 AM

Journey, journey, you know better then not to link to the accounts tab. Now poor @jnat has to do the extra clicks ;)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Mithical didn't see any news for.... long time, so no. But what's K"Sh?

I read the newspaper (both printed and online) and listen to news on radio, that's enough for me. :)

@Mithical oh lol. What happened there?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 town got hit by a rocket attack

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag how? Kish/Kask/Kesh/Kosh/Kush none of those is NSFW...

@JourneymanGeek ohh, yup.

sigh

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Read about it, but didn't watch news.

@Aibobot ?

7:36 AM

try googling that last word in line there @ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2

it's very 420

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag what line?

I'm lost...

Last word? Kush?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 that line of words

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Kingdom of Kush

The Kingdom of Kush (; Egyptian: 𓎡𓄿𓈙𓈉 kꜣš, Assyrian: Ku-u-si, in LXX Ancient Greek: Κυς and Κυσι; Coptic: ⲉϭⲱϣ; Hebrew: כּוּשׁ‎) was an ancient kingdom in Nubia, centered along the Nile Valley in what is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt. The region of Nubia was an early cradle of civilization, producing several complex societies that engaged in trade and industry. The city-state of Kerma emerged as the dominant political force between 2450 and 1450 BC, controlling the Nile Valley between the first and fourth cataracts, an area as large as Egypt. The Egyptians were the first to ide...

my google gives different results xD

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag it's based on your own searches and visits, you know...... :P

7:37 AM

Kush (cannabis)

Kush generally refers to a pure or hybrid Cannabis indica strain. Pure C. indica strains include Afghan Kush, Hindu Kush, Green Kush, and Purple Kush. Hybrid strains of C. indica include Blueberry Kush and Golden Jamaican Kush.The origins of Kush Cannabis are from landrace plants mainly in Afghanistan, Northern Pakistan and North-Western India with the name coming from the Hindu Kush mountain range. "Hindu Kush" strains of Cannabis were taken to the United States in the mid-to-late 1970s and continue to be available there to the present day. == See also == Medical cannabis == References ==

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 probably localized to NL ;)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag hehe

@Luuklag still, hardly NSFW?

Maybe just not children friendly... ;)

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Well even here most employers won't be happy if you show up under the influence of cannabis :P

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 meh, not all countries are as forgiving when it comes to substances

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Tinkeringbell it's just on the screen :D

@Tinkeringbell haha true. Some jobs even have mandatory drug testings

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

7:40 AM

Huh! When adding NSFW it does indeed give what @Luuklag got:

user image

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 but NSFW is lacking from the search result ;)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Still, it did affect them somehow.... lol

throwing kish on @M.A.R

@Mith you like קיש?

Also there's story about ריש לקיש right? About the only story I remember from Judaism lessons in Bar Ilan.

@Rob new discount offer, can you find something cheaper?

user image

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 That's a discount of more than 25%... that's against the rules! XD

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Huh? Really? lol

Why limit discount rate?

Here there's something about price which must be fixed for at least two weeks prior to discount.

i.e. not have it cost $100, then one day make it cost $200 and in same day publish "50% discount!! $100 only!!"

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Because we can't have fun. It's the governments way of trying to enforce healthier lifestyles with less alcohol ;)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

7:54 AM

It was a thing, big time.

@Tinkeringbell ohh, on alcohol... yeah, here they did it to books.

On the one hand, I applaud that. On the other... it feels disproportional to those people that did not buy a lot of alcohol to begin with :D

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Books of Israeli authors can't be sold with discount of more than 25%.

I think? Didn't check for a while.

I buy 1 or 2 bottles of alcohol a year, and I used to just keep an eye open for a good discount when I did.

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 here there is a fixed bookprice

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag whoa, that's neat.

@Tinkeringbell heh. Well here's I believe it's cheap, compared to rest of the world.

7:57 AM

@Luuklag There is 'ramsj' though... :P

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I have a lease car now. I'll just go shopping in Germany ;)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

lol

No limit on distance you can drive per month?

oh wait. Congrats for driving again! :D

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Not that I know of, no. And with the work from home, a trip to Germany wouldn't put me over the limit anyways XD

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Meh. It's still a handicap car.

But it's something.

@Tinkeringbell didn't you buy your own car? what happened?

@Luuklag No, I didn't :) Maybe you're confusing me with my brother, who bought a car, then leased a car (with a limit on km per month) and now has bought another car?

:P

@Tinkeringbell or confusing you picking up a lease car with buying one

8:00 AM

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Well, because of it I'm not not allowed off of base because we're on high alert

@Luuklag Could be too, yeah. :)

@Tinkeringbell so your planning on making that a weeks trip then, in a 45km car?

@Luuklag ;) It's a VW Polo, but with a special transmission so I don't have to shift gears manually. I'm still not back to being able to handle both traffic and a manual transmission, there's some sort of weird shortcircuiting going on when I try.

uhh

I bet I can get there faster than you though :D

8:02 AM

Auto transmission is 'normal' no?

@Aibobot No? It's for handicapped people over here.

o0

...o_o

meh, automatic gear-boxes are more and more common

Like, if you can't get your license in a normal car, you go try an automatic transmission one... and you get a license that only allows you to drive automatic too.

So it's a last resort for people with all sorts of disorders that make they can't shift gears.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

8:04 AM

@Tinkeringbell that's neat. I'm going to drive to Eilat soon, that's the most far I can reach lol.

Including, apparently, problems that exist solely between the ears.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

(about 300 km)

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 because then your tank is empty?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Yeah, why's that the furthest you can reach?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

I was close! It's 350km

user image

8:05 AM

ah without crossing border

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Well, then you can drive up to Metula :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Mithical is it farther than Eilat? (from Tel Aviv area)

@Luuklag yeah

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 no, I mean, from Eilat up to Metula

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag no because Israel is too small. :D

@Mithical ohh. LOL

Well, just met a friend after years we didn't see each other, turns out he travelled 200000 km during 2020.

user image

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

8:07 AM

Two hundred thousand, he showed my his Google activity as proof. Insane.

how nice that 2/3 suggested routes are through germany

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag hehe, about same distance

@Tinkeringbell well technically I can go to Egypt/Jordan but... prefer not... ;)

@Tinkeringbell Maybe its a european thing. There's a joke about americans not being able to drive stick shift at all, and its a "eh, whichever you prefer" out here

though there's a seperate automatic only licence here

I once drove this bit:

but its for people who don't think they will ever drive a manual

8:10 AM

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Luuklag wow

That's insane. And full with construction workers, hope you didn't hit any on your way.... :D

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 we mostly saw fugitives on our way then. Was a couple of years back, 6 or so?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

yeah it was a nasty thing back then.

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 That prior 4L jug is cheaper, isn't it?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Poor souls.

@Rob but not same brand/type.

8:16 AM

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 yeah, entire families walking along the highway in the middle of the night, in the pouring rain

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 68 1/2 Shekels: wine-searcher.com/find/…

It's from peedmont, coincidentally.

But for the rest it was quite okay. I was with my Inlaws, driving their car back for summer, so they could easily take their dog with them.

Did it in about 36 hours

8:46 AM

@Luuklag Saw this on kush dot com, dragon balls:

@Rob wow, those are 3kg of 99% pure THC

that will get you waste for forever

@Luuklag This is 5kg, get you this reaction:

9:02 AM

@Rob yeah, you really must be a pothead to appreciate that xD

@Luuklag I'm well aware the people who post random images in answers are spammers (...well, abusive posters, at least). I'm just trying to figure out where they're coming from (especially the selfies, which is otherwise just weird). I have a pet theory that there's some tutorial or something somewhere that is suggesting that people post these on MSE, and so I'm asking everyone who does it what brought them here. And of course, flagging the post R/A :-)

...okay, maybe this one is different

Not sure what to make of it though

just random SEO words spammed together it appears

Yeah, no coherent answers yet, but I've only just started asking. And Glorfindel is quick at deleting things when around ;-)

Either way, I figure there's no harm in asking. Might stick to just asking on the selfies, though, since this looks like...something else.

Not really sure what.

Yeah, more nonsense in a second comment

maybe @Mithical is around as well?

oh

handled

yeah only needed one more

ah you were the other one

well a mod flagged it R/A I guess, or 6 red flags?

9:16 AM

flagged for a mod to have the comments dealt with

@rene yeah I already flagged the comments as well :)

okay, so those won't get missed then ;)

hmmm my flags got cleared when the post got deleted?

yup, all got marked as helpful, but comments remain

@Luuklag Not since 30+ years ago, today I appreciate how far technology has come; and elimination of racist laws that favor longer sentences for some groups over others.

@Rob it was more of a generalisation, not making you out to be one ;)

I can honestly appreciate the technology that goes behind this, but don't got much exitement for the product itself

@rene now the post is red-flag nuked, so all is gone

9:23 AM

even the account ...

Journeyman Geek

@rene I think that kinda meets the definition of nonsense

@RyanM I call the selfie posts ham, like spam except they advertise themselves.

@JourneymanGeek I don't think the account needs an immediate nuke did some flagger say in their custom flag ...

Journeyman Geek

Nope 😁

And I would have disagreed

@Rob they are noise and an abuse of network resources.

Also people could just not submit the post

Ahh my bad

@rene I mean I think it's warranted and it's a lot of word salad comments

sure

9:36 AM

@Aibobot Had to run... I don't know if it's a European thing, and to be honest I don't care: They're the rules here and other countries having other rules doesn't make things suck less. Being only able to drive a car with automatic transmission is a disabled people thing here, and it sucks knowing that I could drive a normal car but if I had to get a license at this point, all I would be able to get is a disability thing just because I can't get over myself.

@JourneymanGeek I don't need to see some guy post his picture.

Journeyman Geek

@Rob we do bot

@Tinkeringbell I mean eh. Elsewhere it's normal and fine 😁

@JourneymanGeek I'm not elsewhere though.

I am, as always, fine... but that doesn't matter much in this case :P

I know, in theory, how to drive a manual transmision, but in practice I've never done so above 5 miles per hour or so.

Which, as you might imagine, doesn't involve much gear shifting.

@RyanM It would, if you were in a Fast & Furious movie.

9:49 AM

@VLAZ I've never watched those, but my understanding is that they do most of their driving above that speed :-p

@RyanM Well, I know in practice how to drive a normal car and I've done it plenty of times. And I will get back to it one day.

@RyanM Nah, everything you see in the movies is fake anyways, so the driving is obviously done at snail pace, then sped up.

@RyanM I've watched one and some snippets of some others. Each time there is a camera cut to the inside of the car (approximately, every 3.2 seconds), the driver is in the middle of shifting the gears. The only possible explanation is that cars in that universe must have about a bajillion (give or take) gears to switch through.

hahaha

Checks out

@Tinkeringbell or not at all and they wassname....

Fake it? yeah :P

9:57 AM

Either composite, CGI or literally project a moving road behind the car

@Tinkeringbell meh it's just you who calls it disabled ;)

@VLAZ nah, you can also shift down, so you can continue shifting gears endlessly with in theory only 2 gears ;)

I think a large part of F&F is shot in the real world. Read an article about how they had to dodge the cops in tokyo to film tokyo drift

no, i stand corrected

mostly CGI

@Luuklag It's not? Basically every driving school that offers lessons in a car with automatic transmission calls them classes for disabled people.

Well yeah, there's a bit of a stigma there, but realistically most new cars sold today are automatically with an automatic transmission

Just because its a hell of a lot more fuel efficient

I don't care about fuel efficiency... I care about being able to do what I can.

@Luuklag screenrant.com/… this is the article I read I think

@Tinkeringbell well yeah, then you need the propper license, or visit a racetrack ;)

Or any other private area where road-laws are not valid

And find an insurer that want's to cover you ;)

10:11 AM

I have the proper license! That's what makes this suck even more XD

I know I can... but somehow I just don't.

I'll get there.

@Tinkeringbell you know there are extended exams for people having anxiety issues for example right?

@Luuklag I already have a license, so I don't need those.

I drove a perfectly normal car until I had an accident, then afterwards I just don't anymore.

@Tinkeringbell so your brain just shortcircuits when you hold on to a gear shifter?

perhaps a car with flappy paddles might be a thing for you then?

Journeyman Geek

@Luuklag does anyone but sports car makers make those?

@JourneymanGeek yeah they get more and more common, but mostly go with a "sport" package on a car

10:15 AM

@Luuklag Yeah, because 'flappy paddles' doesn't sound like something made for disabled people XD

I bet there are VW golfs with them

I have a polo though, not a golf.

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell and F1 drivers

@JourneymanGeek Well those aren't normal either. Have you seen how they've been acting recenlty?

@Tinkeringbell I'm driving a disables car today btw. Switched cars with my parents for the time my boys are at their place. Their car has a ramp in the backdoor to easily load a mobility scooter.

10:40 AM

@Luuklag Be careful, those are expensive ;)

And also have terrible milage and a small fuel tank

How far would you want to drive a mobility scooter? :D

So I have to fill up before doing the trip back this afternoon

@Aibobot across countries, when it is loaded up in a car or trailer ;)

@Luuklag Yeah, that's very often a thing too XD

@MetaAndrewT. every single one from the Anime.SE board? :P

@Tinkeringbell yeah its tall and heavy at the same time. Great viaibility though with large windows and the lack of backseats

@Luuklag :(

@Rob huh. You win!

@Rob dragons have no balls, they lay eggs.

So, it's fake. ;)

@RyanM lost cause, IMO. You can try, sure, but I'm almost sure they're just being weird without any logical reason behind it. ;)

@Luuklag the other Steve?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 there were already 2 delete votes on it, one from me, and then when it was deleted I saw that one was rene's

I happened to notice an unfamiliar domain in the source code, used to monitor Jobs traffic or something like that. Being a curious person, and a web programmer, I browsed to the plain domain: https://clc.stackoverflow.com/ This resulted in a cryptic message: Hi. I'm Steve. But not that Stev...

:D

@Luuklag yeah, the images are of poor enough quality, so it must be real. :P

Maybe weird kind of exhibitionists.

(luckily minus the nudity - just people who love to show themselves off)

nah this was just a random screenshot of some text

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

That said, all those who keep uploading their food pics to Instagram/Facebook constantly are also exhibitionists. :P

(formal definition doesn't say it must be nudity just people who seek attention by posting their own things)

@Luuklag ohh, I was talking about selfies. Well, this one might be spam indeed.

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 No such command 'selfie'.

phew that is one report done. The one I wanted to be done on monday though...

Now off to build a DB and rework the population of that DB into the model before the weekend :/

@Luuklag Well, you have ~26 hours to do so if you want to be done at around 5PM tomorrow :P

More if you don't mind working until it's really Saturday :P

yeah, I have to leave in 45 mins to go pick up my kids. So then I have from 9pm onwards I think

And tomorrow afternoon I have some time, but then the boys are at home

So no, I wished I had 26 hours

and I would wish I had a clue on what I am doing there

At least everything is in Excel, so I don't really have to learn anything new

Well, it sounds like most of the work simply has to be done next week then :P

hmmm nope, not an option

Then I'm having my vacation, and I need the prototype ready before that

so yeah, FML

hands @Luuklag the caffeine IV

Argh, probably time for this computer to have some well deserved rest. It really went tripping when I unplugged the USB-C monitor

@Luuklag I had to replace mine. How old is yours?

Not that old, year, year and a half or something

and its from work, so I aint replacing nothing :)

hmmm its a 2018 model, so a bit older I guess xD

I guess its just because of the time its been up now, and all that is integrated in that one USB-C (power, display, usb-A hub)

which is actually all integrated in my monitor but okay

@KevinB Just edit it to "*Apparently, this user prefers to keep an air of mystery about them*", should look more or less like it used to :P

what i'd rather put there would get me suspended

Is there a wave of edits like these going on, or am I being really unlucky again?

Dude coinheringaahing

Unrelated to that, but @Zoethe1337Princess with the new profile changes, visiting your profile fully freezes up the tab for ~10 seconds while it loads the XKCD and renders the trans flag :?

(Not trying to imply that's your fault fyi, I suspect there's something going on with the new UI)

Zoe the 1337 Princess

No repro on my end, but SE has been sluggish for a good two weeks for me, everywhere

Decent chance I can't tell the difference between normal load and slow load anymore :')

Dude coinheringaahing

I wouldn't even call it slow loading. The flag waves a couple of times, then scroll, clicking, flag waving etc. just stop for a few seconds until the XKCD appears

Zoe the 1337 Princess

The xkcd is fairly big. Some caching might be in play. /shrug
