@KevinB finally! Glad you got home safely. :D

@JNat thanks!

@JNat awesome, thanks. Hope you didn't have to do it site-by-site? Anyway, how come they have only 1 rep on SO? Should be association bonus, and no bounties were offered. Spam post?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Maybe: Fairly new: physics.stackexchange.com/users/304529/pcmse?tab=reputation math.stackexchange.com/users/934294/pcmse?tab=reputation and associated later?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 no spam post... dunno why that 1 rep there, but... meh

Everyone's asleep.

Heh, I wish.

SPArcheon

That's just gross.

SPArcheon

12:14

based on a specific scene.

Twilight Avoids Her Castle (Castle, Sweet Castle) | MLP: FiM [HD]

basically the result of too little sleep for too long time.

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, gross.

I can wish I was sleeping without wanting to be covered in greasy sticky food.

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell never said that you should wish that. Nor her, for what matter. It is not like she wanted to fall asleep on the pancake.

Dude coinheringaahing

You'd have to imagine that, somehow, it isn't gross/sticky for the pony

Tinkeringbell

@SPArcheon Then I don't get what it has to do with the conversation that was going on.

Dude coinheringaahing

Maybe My Little Pony ponies are Teflon-coated?

Tinkeringbell

12:21

@Dudecoinheringaahing That's another point: Having pony in your food is usually gross (unless packaged under proper hygienic circumstances), and there was a big scandal here with beef being cut with pony a few years back :P

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell A warning? Go to sleep before someone finds you asleep on the keyboard?

Tinkeringbell

@SPArcheon At least my keyboard isn't greasy or sticky.

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell so, at worst, there will be some ~~crackers crumbs?~~ fairy dust?

Tinkeringbell

Nope. Like I said, my keyboard is clean.

Dude coinheringaahing

That's pretty impressive tbh

SPArcheon

12:24

Which reminds me....

Dude coinheringaahing

My keyboard's only really clean because I bought it a month ago :P

Q: How can I remove ants from my laptop keyboard?

There are ants in my laptop keyboard again. It's happened before and ended up killing my productivity occasionally as the little critters suddenly show up from within the gaps of the keyboard. I had to bring it over to my uncle and he got rid of the ants, somehow, but I forgot to ask how he did i...

> Wash your keyboard in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher

But... I kinda remember someone suggesting to use a gardening hose

Deleted maybe?

Tinkeringbell

@Dudecoinheringaahing Dunno. I just take out all the keys, put them in a bra net, put them in the washing machine.... Just like lego :P Then use the vacuum with brush to get the bits of dust that always get in between the keys no matter how much you vacuum it with the key on it... and then wipe it down with a wet desinfecting wipe... Make that a monthly/every two months thing, and it stays pretty clean.

I basically just use the vacuum + brush on a low setting to clean the board every week if I'm not doing the big cleaning thing.

Dude coinheringaahing

I mainly have trouble with dust and grime accumulating and getting in between the keys, and that stuff refuses to be vacuumed up, so I have to do a proper wide down and clean in all the awkward gaps in the key wells

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, just taking off all the keys every other month helps a lot with that here, though :)

@JNat bug! :D

@Rob no that deleted post isn't relevant anymore users can't control the association. Even deleting accounts won't have any effect.

@SPArcheon no, there's a different deleted answer.

Q: What's the best way to get ants out of laptop keyboards?

What's the best way to gets ants out of a laptop?

keyboard cleaning

Journeyman Geek

Best stuff for cleaning keyboards is cyberclean, I can't seem to find the stuff anywhere tho

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Just no kids at all is the best prevention against ants, I agree!

Dude coinheringaahing

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Well, I can't disagree with that approach. Not putting food in your underwear is always a good idea :P

Journeyman Geek

12:46

@Dudecoinheringaahing is that a full roasted turkey in your pants, or are you happy to see me...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Tinkeringbell :D

@Dudecoinheringaahing depends how you define food...... :P

runs away

Tinkeringbell

Aaand things are back to gross, well done.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

bowing from a safe distance

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell allow me.....

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@SPArcheon wrong target message

this is the one :D

SPArcheon

12:50

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 correct user, that's enough.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

hehe

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Things you put in your mouth, not in your pants.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@JourneymanGeek umm

no comment

:D

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Add "And are allowed to chew on" to that or it makes no sense still.

Journeyman Geek

and swallow?

I mean technically....

But lets not get too into the details

Tinkeringbell

12:55

@JourneymanGeek I mean, there's a reason I went with chew, not swallow :P

But yeah, let's not do technicalities XD

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Well I can safely assume nobody here is putting anything inside their underwear anyway, so not relevant to begin with. :-)

Dude coinheringaahing

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Assuming it counts as "putting [something] inside", what about tucking in your t-shirt into your underwear? :P

Journeyman Geek

that's a slightly wierd thing to do

Dude coinheringaahing

I'd imagine that of all the things we've just discussed, it's the least weird thing to do :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Dudecoinheringaahing why would one do it? It's just uncomfortable lol. :)

I mean, tuck it above the underwear.... it's pretty trivial...

Dude coinheringaahing

12:59

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I knew someone in school who would insist on tucking in the front of their shirt into their underwear, and leave the rest of it untucked. Not exactly sure why but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SPArcheon

Discord ~ Ahem! Well, in any case, I suppose NOW ... to make my exit!

►

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Dudecoinheringaahing but.... how could you tell it's inside the underwear? lol

Dude coinheringaahing

I don't know how to describe it, but it just looks different to a shirt tucked into trousers

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

hmm

Got new task at home then. :D

(T-shirt for work isn't long enough)

If wife/kids asks wth I'm doing, I'll blame you! :P

Dude coinheringaahing

For best effects, I'd suggest using an actual shirt rather than a T-shirt (my school had a uniform) :P

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Feel free to :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

13:07

@Dudecoinheringaahing exactly, that's why I can do it only at home, got some "actual shirts" as you call it in the closet. ;)

Rob

13:21

Why would it have to be done by themselves, as opposed to staff doing it?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Rob huh? Wrong room/context missing?

Rob

15:18

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 You?, then use the correct room.

Mithical

Q: "Question closed" notifications experiment results and graduation

Although the initial response many years ago was that after consideration we would not implement this feature (for a variety of reasons), fol...

"New" :P

Yeah I'm just surprised that I got both a notification and an email.

Tinkeringbell

Seems normal to me...

It doesn't exclude posts where the post owner has already seen the inbox notification... you might have a feature request there ;)

This appears to be status-completed? I can see the "Member for" on other users' profiles again, and so can others

Tinkeringbell

Give it a few hours/day to see if they update the answer. If not, raise a flag on it asking for such a tag tomorrow :)

Dude coinheringaahing

Is it even worth raising a flag rather than just editing it in myself (if unaddressed after a while)?

Tinkeringbell

Meh, just to be very, very correct ;) the edit will probably be from a staff member and look more official if you flag

Dude coinheringaahing

Ah, I wasn't sure if a flag would alert staff members as well here :P

Tinkeringbell

There are some us mods leave for staff, usually status tags and flags asking for things to be featured :)
