sifting through Smoke to reach the beer
 
7:10 AM
feel free to add me as a RO if you need help with shoveling (-:
 
7:51 AM
@tripleee 13 is bad luck number, so need to add 2. :P
 
I completely understand, it's clearly out of your hands

@tripleee don't tempt me

@tripleee Even reviewers get more thanks than ROs.

Q: "Oops! Something Bad Happened!" on Winter Bash leaderboard

SmitopThe Winter Bash 2021 leaderboard gives a server error whenever it is visted: Oops! Something Bad Happened! We apologize for any inconvenience, but an unexpected error occurred while you were browsing our site. It’s not you, it’s us. This is our fault. Detailed information about this error has au...

 
Rob
Still no repro, for me.
 
o_o
 
Rob
Try again.
 
8:25 AM
Yes it's working now 😆
 
Rob
So, the choices are to forget about it or ReOpen as intermittent; needs to be monitored, to detect how frequently it happens and what's causing it.
 
@Rob I thank RO whenever they clean smoke here. Maybe they just can't hear me.
:P

Q: How do you smoke water?

yossarianRoux mention in this answer smoking water. How do you do this? What does it taste like? How do you use it? Sounds fascinating!

Blow bubbles in their water.
 
@Rob unsafe during COVID outbreaks. Maybe when omicron wave will be over. :D
 
Rob
8:29 AM
Heard a few places are locking down.
 
Yesterday our media top article was "Omicron detected in sewer!!"
 
Rob
Stay out of there then.
 
...and we reached 1k new cases in a day
 
Rob
That's fairly high.
 
yup, experts say we'll reach 20k in a month or so.
Then there will be fourth booster, which hopefully will put an end to this.
(20k over population of 8M, so it's like 800k daily new cases in USA)
 
8:32 AM
@SmokeDetector still up
 
@tripleee already flagged :/
 
yeh, can't make you flag more than that - hoping some new flaggers have appeared in the room
 
Rob
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Israel claims that the "R number" is 1.07, but the UK says it could be 5: timesofisrael.com/… walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/… - so that needs to be figured out first.
^^ It's only -4.
 
A hookah (Hindustani: حقّہ (Nastaleeq), हुक़्क़ा (Devanagari), IPA: [ˈɦʊqːa]; also see other names), shisha, or waterpipe is a single- or multi-stemmed instrument for heating or vaporizing and then smoking either tobacco, flavored tobacco (often muʽassel), or sometimes cannabis, hashish, and opium. The smoke is passed through a water basin—often glass-based—before inhalation.The major health risks associated with smoking tobacco, cannabis, opium, and other drugs through a hookah include exposure to toxic chemicals, carcinogens, and heavy metals that are not filtered out by the water, alongside...
maybe originated from this?
 
8:41 AM
@tripleee at -5 now
 
Rob
There's 2 people, at least.
 
yeah, I'll try if it stays up for much longer ... often, pinging in Charcoal is sufficient, but I have found that this room is also quite responsive (and I hope you don't mind, as previously discussed)
the Arabic one on Sharepoint is also getting to be 30 minutes old soon
 
@tripleee -3 now
@tripleee you haven't been kicked yet ;)
 
Rob
@tripleee AFAIK, we don't mind if it's been up a while and needs the flags to auto it.
16 mins ago, by Rob
^^ It's only -4.
too.
 
my general plan has been to ping in Charcoal first and then escalate here if it's still up after another say 15 minutes but these days it's been really quiet in Charcoal so I have taken a few recent ones directly here
 
Rob
8:54 AM
That's OK, AFAIK.
 
@tripleee I CV'ed chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/9085935#9085935 But it doesn't look like spam or abusive to me.
 
@PM2Ring Their previous attempt was garbage, and so they got blacklisted: metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/posts/uid/astronomy/47867
 
1.28 according to this.
(was 1.1 just yesterday)
 
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 is this exclusive for Omikron?
 
Ah, right. That looks like it was written by a cat. Their latest question is terrible, but it's got an ok answer, so I won't del-vote it.
 
9:09 AM
@Luuklag no
But we had almost 0 before Omicron
@PM2Ring users are suspended for those things, "low quality contributions", one is network wide suspended for 10 years, so guess there's something more behind it, e.g. deliberate trolling aimed to hurt SE.
By flooding SE with crap, trolls hope to make some actual damage.
 
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Sure, but a single crap post isn't a flood. But I'll be watching that user.
 
@PM2Ring I don't have any strong recommendation for that one, I flagged as rude based on the low quality and previous history, but I agree that the reasoning is not very robust
 
@PM2Ring two, according to what others here said, but yeah, we can't be sure it's a troll based on that only.
 
9:25 AM
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 The 1st was random key-mashing, which was rightly deleted. The 2nd was just very low quality, but on topic, sort of. And I don't think flagging the 2nd one, just based on the crappiness of the 1st one, is warranted.
@tripleee No worries.

@Mithical thanks!
 
11:42 AM
@Luuklag because of new answer.
This trigger Smokey all over again...
@JNat network spammer for your ever caring handling. Thanks! :)
 
11:59 AM
@journ ^for you to nuke
 
@Luuklag no need to ping :D
I periodically check the scrollback and do the needful
 
I thought you liked the sound ;)
 
lol
I roughly run at as many windows as I can handle so...
I get a bit distracted, and I was trying to work out how to deal with something else :D
 
1:01 PM
@JourneymanGeek you should put a notice like "DON'T PING" while you're busy. ;)
 
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Oh, I mean, if you generally need to get my attention, sure
but for moderational housekeeping, its something that periodically has my attention anyway

In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number, or basic reproductive number (sometimes called basic reproduction ratio or basic reproductive rate), denoted R 0 {\displaystyle R_{0}} (pronounced R nought or R zero), of an infection is the expected number of cases directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection. The definition assumes that no other individuals are infected or immunized (naturally or through vaccination). Some definitions, such as that...
