@PM2Ring That's the view I use.

@Mithical As well as selecting the desktop view on the site itself, you also need to select desktop view in the browser's own settings. At least, it works on my phone, using the Samsung browser.

In Chrome, hit the 3 dots menu. There should be a "Desktop site" item just above the "Settings" item.

I dance only in toilets though. :P

@Luuklag lol I know, you should know I'm always trolling you. :D

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 trolololol

@Luuklag good! You're learning. ;)

Huh! Found myself.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Many people spend years foing that...

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek I know, right? And spend fortune on psychologists to help them in the process... :D

Anyway if anyone knows what's special in 1:03 (AM, time) feel free to answer my recent question. Thanks! :P

Rob

10:43 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 That's why it took a while to find, it's not as though the toilet scene in these 5-15 minute long videos is featured prominently in the description; I had to watch three videos to find that.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

10:58 AM

@Rob you're very dedicated, that's really impressive. :-)

@Rob got +50 Shadow Dedication Points

hmm looking for a shortcut by Googling shadow in toilet failed; but I did learn about old meme I never knew about. :D (NSFW, do on your own risk)

lol people are so weird sometimes.

Yay! Finally fixed report to have the trophies back. It was bugged for about a week. :/

(design isn't my idea, don't blame me ;))

11:49 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 So what was the prize for?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag having the best OEE

Overall equipment effectiveness

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a measure of how well a manufacturing operation is utilized (facilities, time and material) compared to its full potential, during the periods when it is scheduled to run. It identifies the percentage of manufacturing time that is truly productive. An OEE of 100% means that only good parts are produced (100% quality), at the maximum speed (100% performance), and without interruption (100% availability). Measuring OEE is a manufacturing best practice. By measuring OEE and the underlying losses, important insights can be gained on how to systematically improve...

JNat

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 too many profiles... cleared the profile and suspended so they won't be able to post. But didn't delete.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JNat ok, that works too. Thanks!

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 so the team that slaved hardest for the big guy ;)

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag single person, assigned to the machine having the best OEE, yeah. ;)

Generally speaking, this reduce the time the machine operators waste on smoking. :D

JNat

12:00 PM

@Luuklag gone

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 haha nice. Are operators also responsible for maintenance of their machines?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag basic, yeah.

BTW @Mithical I was correct, it's a new cross gender Hebrew font: ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/BkNyH8Sed

Personally I don't like it because it's just confusing as hell, and one must Google for it to find out what's going on.

So without a really massive campaign to explain, it's totally useless and just antagonize people.

Luuklag

12:23 PM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Time for some government sponsored TV-adds then ;)

Journeyman Geek

No interpratative dance please

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag lol they'd never spend even single cent on such thing, they need the money for their own agenda. :D

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 there's more

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek I know, didn't want to flood. ;)

Flooded toilets is nasty. :D

Luuklag

12:55 PM

@Tinkeringbell how is your apartment coming along?

Tinkeringbell

Messy. The floor is there, mom and dad are doing painting + wallpaper this week. I'm not needed to help. But mom/dad are also busy with the dementor being in the hospital, so they can't spend as much time doing DIY in the apartment, and things at home are also a perpetual mess....

The bed + clothes closet will arrive next week, the furniture the week after that. I can only hope they finish the wallpaper and painting by then, because they're not teaching me so I can't finish it on my own.

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell Check out werkspot.nl I had someone from there do my wallpaper for a decent price

Tinkeringbell

@Luuklag To be honest, I'd rather be self-sufficient and not pay people for simple stuff like wallpaper.

But since that requires my parents teaching me stuff... I don't think I'll ever get to learn it while they're still alive and mobile enough :P

Luuklag

1:11 PM

@Tinkeringbell You could always opt to do some room after you move in yourself

Cause hanging wallpaper is simple (depending on the design on the paper ofcourse)

Just stick some glue on the wall and press the paper on

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag sounds simple but done wrong it leave those ugly bubbles.

Think I tried it once, long long ago.

My DIY is simple: hire people to do it for me. :P

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Yeah you need not be generous with the glue, and press it down from top to bottom tightly.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag where were you with those tips 20 (?) years ago?!

:D

building a time machine to give my past self the tips from @Luuk

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 being in primary school ;)

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag surely you know you'll give those tips one day. :D

Tinkeringbell

1:30 PM

@Luuklag Yeah, I'll probably end up opting for a Youtube video and doing a bit of wall that's not that visible first ;)

(and don't tell them I have plans to do new wallpaper)

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

lol

Report upgrades completed; 1500 lines of code to generate one report. :shock:

Hopefully client will be satisfied.

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 That is one hell of a report, or some very scattered information you need to pull

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag both. ;)

Well it's actually combination of four smaller reports. Each and its own data source.

There are those trophies; Also times where machines started to work, which I also fixed; Report about amount of parts produced; And last but not least report about various reasons causing the machines to not produce any parts. And that's it. So on second thought, 1500 lines aren't so much. ;)

Luuklag

1:50 PM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 haha nice

I just totally wasted my time reverse engeneering who you are ignoring in chat :)

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag you can see this easily lol

You just have to find the room. ;)

(hint: not on MSE)

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 It's on SO and about friends ;)

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag lol, yup. So your time wasn't wasted, you found out what you were looking for. :D

I hope you didn't dig too deep in the transcript there, the room started as.... experiment. :P

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Nah, I just wanted to see who you were blocking. Nosey me xD

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

330 more rep and I'm fived....

poking @Luuk's nose being so nosey

;o)

(for some reason I prefer such nose over ;-))

More... realistic? lol

Guys can anyone give hint which is this being downvoted?

chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/9038136#9038136 hint why* is

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JitendraSingh first, the request isn't asking for the actual request you should edit this into shape.

It should be something like "Change wording of close as duplicate on meta sites to remove the already has an answer part".

It's a wording change request; However in its current form you ask to actually block people from being able to flag/close as duplicate which is bad idea.

(hence people are against the idea and casting downvotes.)

Jitendra Singh

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Thanks for the feedback. Can you please check if the post is now okay as I have tried to focus on "change the wording"?

Journeyman Geek

@JitendraSingh Its a bit of wierd concept - but don't worry about the downvotes

worry about clearly articulating the change you want, and why

make it clear you're familiar with what's come before, and what the benefit would be

I think I never got an answer for this

Sep 15 at 17:58, by bobble

There's a tag which is used for a clearly-defined purpose for some of its questions and as a meta tag on others. I would like a name change for the tag to discourage its meta tag usage, and also remove it from the questions where it is used as such. What process should I follow?

Tinkeringbell

@bobble Tag names can't be changed, so you'd basically have to propose a new tag, a tag-synonym, and then do the editing to remove the meta-tag usage.

A MSE question to gather and discuss ideas would probably be a good start.

(if this is about a MSE tag. Otherwise, same but go on site meta)

bobble

MSE tag, yeah

@bobble It's the tag synonym/merge process. It's as close to renaming we get.

bobble

5:34 PM

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog why'd you remove tags? I can understand wanting to add retag-request, but not the tag removal.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@bobble The tag is for questions about how tags work.

bobble

So should it not be on e.g. this?

I was under the impression that when discussing the fate of tags, we should use tags

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

Never mind, looking through other questions, it seems I was wrong; re-adding.

anyone else seeing a weird white bar across the top of meta's logo?

@Spevacus Meta.SE and Meta.SO are often used as testing grounds before deploying changes to the rest of the network. That's why their build numbers are higher.
