@starball some mods rename them due to goat

Journeyman Geek

@starball Other than one CM nuking them when time permits - there's no real way to deal with multi site spammers - especially when the profile is spammy

depending on annoyance/boredom, mods clear them out, change them to spammer, or have a little fun altering it

There's a few pre-emptive things we can do

but that basically only works with the dumbest of spammers

starball

05:53

@JourneymanGeek What does "nuking" consist of, and is there a rule governing when "time permits"?

Journeyman Geek

06:13

@starball "nuking" = account deletion and "when time permits" = when they have the time

@MetaAndrewT. I honestly can't see any value in that, but meh, mods do what mods do and whatever sails their boat is welcome.

spammer should be nuked, period. not merged, not renamed.

Meta Andrew T.

@ShadowTheKidWizard I kind of agree with you, but then whose mods are going to nuke 1000+ profile spammer accounts on each site, except CM?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard 1) Its boring

2) I can only do it on my own sites

Meta Andrew T.

(emphasized on profile spammer, since spammer who posts something will be nuked immediately for ~~trespassing~~ spamming)

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@MetaAndrewT. and how renaming them all to "spammer" is better in any way?

Same amount of time spent, but just wasted.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard other mods know who they are if they're checking an IP

Shadow The Kid Wizard

08:10

@JourneymanGeek oh wait, you can rename anyone on any SE site being mod on one site?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard yup?

Oh

Meta Andrew T.

@ShadowTheKidWizard mods can ~~rename user~~ modify user's profile on their own site and apply it network-wide

Shadow The Kid Wizard

That's a bug, but meh - maybe a good bug.

Journeyman Geek

AS LONG AS they have an account on my site

@ShadowTheKidWizard Its a slightly dangerous feature

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Not dangerous, just giving more power than expected or documented anywhere.

Journeyman Geek

08:12

@ShadowTheKidWizard I think its documented?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

The known fact is that mod is per-site.

Journeyman Geek

But rarely used on legitimate users without their permission

Shadow The Kid Wizard

I'm out of Lotus :(

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Cookies!

Well, biscuits, but who cares how it's called it's yummy

:D

Journeyman Geek

08:15

there's also a spread version

and a kit kat flavour which I accidently found once, and I suspect would do irrepairable damage to my diet if I could find regularly

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek eww, no

Well, there is. But no yummy.

@JourneymanGeek that can work, but in Israel Nutella rules the market.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard nutella kitkat? 0_0

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek no lol, the classic spreead

Journeyman Geek

ah

hm

Glass or plastic bottles? :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

This ^

Journeyman Geek

08:23

oh they're the same shape

Shadow The Kid Wizard

I was wrong, there's a tie.

Journeyman Geek

the polish and turkish nutella's in a glass bottle, the aussie stuff is plastic

Shadow The Kid Wizard

40% for the two leading spreads.

@JourneymanGeek aussies aren't green ;)

Journeyman Geek

Depends

I'm indian, we reuse a looot of glass bottles

heck the old horlicks bottles are considered family heirlooms now

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Here we have glass bottles only at restaurants. Well, mainly.

Journeyman Geek

08:25

I think most of the storage bottles we have are recycled :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

I mean for drinks, oil is in glass bottles.

Journeyman Geek

oh

the powder

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek powder?

Journeyman Geek

horlicks is a powdered drink no?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Drinking powder? That's ancient history, last time I had it was during army.

Journeyman Geek

08:26

or is this another commonwealth thing?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Concentrated liquid is what's going, as far as I know.

Journeyman Geek

0_0

Shadow The Kid Wizard

That's the best selling, afaik

Put some in a glass, add water, and magic happens. :D

Journeyman Geek

Horlicks

Horlicks is a sweet malted milk hot drink powder developed by founders James and William Horlick. It was first sold as "Horlick's Infant and Invalids Food," soon adding "aged and travellers" to their label. In the early 20th century, it was sold as a powdered meal replacement drink mix. It was then marketed as a nutritional supplement and manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (Consumer Healthcare) in Australia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom. It was previously in Kenya in the 2010s but was discontinued due to low sales. It...

honestly I don't like it

but the bottles!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek umm, it's a mug

lol

I can't see any bottle in the wiki page.

Journeyman Geek

08:32

Which is an outrage

Shadow The Kid Wizard

So they also sell those mugs?

Looks nice indeed. :)

Journeyman Geek

HUNDRED DOLLARS?

FOR AN OLD BOTTLE?

._.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek 72.59 USD

But yeah, fair for collector's things.

Old stamps are sold for more. ;)

Journeyman Geek

I think there's 4-5 of that design and a bunch of the later square ones

carousell.com.my/p/3366-antique-horlicks-jar-1135716324 ....

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek so these days the powder is sold in plastic cans?

Journeyman Geek

08:35

like seriously

@ShadowTheKidWizard plastic containers yeah

._.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek how much he takes for it?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard I'm confused both about who'd keep bottles with the labels on that long and who would buy these

Shadow The Kid Wizard

During the 80's we had a popular drinking powder called "zip", but it was gone during the 90's in favor of the above liquid concentration.

@JourneymanGeek collectors, the people who keep it are smart.

Or just hoarders. :D

Journeyman Geek

Oh and oldschool Rasna!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

People collect anything.

Journeyman Geek

08:40

Which was an indian thing

drink that came with a pack of powder and a TINY bottle of some liquid

and was probably all artificial

Shadow The Kid Wizard

keeping underwear for 70 years so I can sell to collectors for $1000

:P

@JourneymanGeek sounds complex ;)

Journeyman Geek

That's half the fun

its a process

Shadow The Kid Wizard

09:03

@JourneymanGeek well these days doubt many people would want to waste time on those things, they want fast and ready-to-eat/drink food.

Most they'll do is adding water and mix. :D

Surprised to see people are now fine with animated avatars, amazing how things change over the years.

Probably result of all the social networks, bombing videos and animations right into the brain of billions.

So they're fine with it anywhere, including in avatars. So annoying.

Luuklag

@ShadowTheKidWizard where?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Luuklag MSO

eww

Someone here told about user on SO with animated avatar a while ago, so I flagged one of their posts, and the flag was declined. Now posted on MSO, and getting rain of downvotes.

Again, I blame the social network for changing people's habit, when you see things 24/7, you eventually get used to them.

I don't watch vids and animations 24/7, so still find it annoying that avatar is animated.

Old school grumpy wizard.

New name ^ :D

Had spicy shakshuka, next time less hot peppers. But was still good. Now need to wash the plate.

!!/wash plate

SmokeDetector

@ShadowTheKidWizard No such command 'wash'.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

:(

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowTheKidWizard Eew, tomatoes.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

11:21

@Tinkeringbell hehe nice thing that you know shakshuka at all. :D

But yeah, tomatoes are integral part of it.

Tinkeringbell

One of the recipe books I got recently got a recipe.

projectgezond.nl/shakshuka-met-zoete-aardappel < it's online too :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell oh. Well, tomatoes with half boiled eggs, all the rest are just variants of the same thing. ;)

@Tinkeringbell looking nice, lots of added stuff there. :D

Tinkeringbell

Yeah. Two of my least favorite things though: tomatoes and sweet potato.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell fair. For me it's avocado.

Tinkeringbell

I'm making projectgezond.nl/kip-yassa for dinner tonight (if my dentist visit later this afternoon doesn't require a local anesthetic. If it does, I have soup :P)

@ShadowTheKidWizard That's also somewhere on the bottom of my lists. I've had it a few times, but it doesn't really appeal to me either.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

11:25

@Tinkeringbell looking good, good luck making it, and hope no anesthetic so you can eat it! :)

Tinkeringbell

Should go fine, I've made it before a few times ;)

Shadow The Kid Wizard

11:40

@Tinkeringbell the tooth treatment, or the kip yassa? :D

Tinkeringbell

Both :P In this case I was referring to the recipe though :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Last time I had teeth issues, they extracted four out.

Tinkeringbell

I've only had the wisdom teeth extracted. Rest is still all there :)

Had a few cavities filled, and I have a crown on one molar. Today is 6-monthly check-up and filling a cavity detected when they were putting the crown on that molar :)
