@ShadowWizardChasingStars why is the band called K3 if no one's name starts with K?

@JourneymanGeek no idea, guess that's the special thing about it. :D
@Luuklag that's a big o
 
9:13 AM
o_l_
darn it. it did not make the "l" italic
enjoy your enormous crab arm wave
 
@starball hangman?! :)
 
uhhh YES that's what it is
now guess the word!
 
o_le
 
9:20 AM
@JourneymanGeek oh you know why
 
DO I?
I WANT THE TRUTH!
 
You already know the truth, paddle-awan
 
@M.A.R. haha, why --> Y --> KY!
Knew you had it in you. :D
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars No
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars orle
orle is the new orly
 
9:22 AM
@starball yay! happy dance
 
you win a lifetime supply of ORLE!!!!
the crabs smile upon you
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars uh, I don't have KY in me
And I don't like Kentucky
I deny any affiliation whatsoever with the entity or non-entity 'KY'
 
@M.A.R. *flags as spam
 
@starball spams flags
 
@M.A.R. *sweats nervously
 
9:29 AM
spasmodic spamming
 
@M.A.R. that is good!
 
I think we are all poisoned by mushrooms
Whatever @Sha's having
starts talking like @Sha
 
@M.A.R. ha! Take this then:
 
Uh, pee! Um, SE changes suck but are understandable. Er, meta rep meta rep meta rep.
 
Welcome to my club!
Just bring your own toilet paper, it's always running out for some reason. :D
 
9:34 AM
I love shekels. I love innuendo even more. WAG? WAG. Here's a link to @Sha's den when you can say borderline offensive things
I'm enthusiastic for no reason! I eat pizza and rice
@ShadowWizardChasingStars will it kill me?
 
hmm
suspecting @M.A.R. has been hacked by ShadowGPT
Spewing out random Shadow lang
 
@M.A.R. depends what you ate before.
@SPArcheon what are you uploading?
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars no, I'm a perfectly normal human being but I like responding to messages that are older than my pants
 
@M.A.R. I actually have pants older than SE itself so that's a problem. :D
(think my oldest pair is 20 years old, and yes, still wearing it sometimes.)

1:50 PM
Well one thing for sure, this winter bash there is huge influx of secret hats, much more than any previous year.
I guess it's due to the event being sponsored this year, so one of their conditions was "make it more fun and easy to get". ;)
 
4b0
2:09 PM
When refresh leaderboard , I have more than 4 hour , I got 2 new hat but still show me my old caps count.
 
Probably best to ask about winter bash stuff in the dedicated chatroom: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/141302/winter-summer-bash-2022
 
@4b0 you are #20 with 20 hats, what exactly is the problem?
@Tinkeringbell yeah, lol, here we both can't really help with wb bugs, and some people prefer the silence and tranquility of the Tavern. :D
oh, I get it. @4b0 you have two hats that you still didn't get on Stack Overflow, so they are not part of the SO leaderboard count.
You can see on which site(s) you got each hat by clicking it in the winter bash modal in your profile page.
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars silence? tranquility? What are those?
 
@Tinkeringbell no idea, something someone once told me about.
I think it involves lack of noise.
shudders
 
I vaguely remember times where things were silent and tranquil. But to be honest it's such a distant memory...
 
2:20 PM
@4b0 in the overall leaderboard, you can see all your 22 hats, which make you #44. (Warning: the overall leaderboard is terribly slow, go there at your own risk.)
 
@Tinkeringbell What you get when the screaming finally stops
 
@Tinkeringbell well, I'm to blame, I can't keep quiet for a long time. :P
@JourneymanGeek that was the winter bash chicken
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Have the chickens stopped screaming, Clarice?
 
@JourneymanGeek no, @SPA finally caught them and put them in a safe place, where they keep screaming to this day. :D
 
(actually since covid the local wild chicken population exploded, and one of my future neighbours hates them... so I joke about introducing them to the new neighbourhood :D)
 
2:27 PM
Just put them all in cages, harvest the eggs, and eventually the meat. Problem solved.
 
@Catija hey, before I write a question on MSE, maybe you can give a quick answer instead. Is there a reason we can't see when we earned each hat? I expected a timestamp in the winterbash inbox but alas, there's no such thing. :( thanks!
 
They're a protected species
 
@JourneymanGeek 1) what is a wild chicken? 2) when are you moving to a new place? 3) Where is the new place? ;)
In Israel, we got a major issue with wild boars that took over a whole city during covid.
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars in this case 1) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_junglefowl
 
Problem is some of the people like the boars and feeds them.
 
2:30 PM
2) before next september, but covid delays. Earliest I see it happening is late Q2, early Q3
3) uhhh. Someone else :D
 
@JourneymanGeek you sound like SE official reply. :D
@JourneymanGeek but still in same country?
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars honestly, I have no idea or control over when it is
@ShadowWizardChasingStars yes
 
@JourneymanGeek umm.... how? lol
You are being moved to different place against your will?
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars originally was supposed to be mid this year
but there's been delays and more delays
 
Usually when people move to new place they, well, know when they are going to move. :P
 
2:32 PM
so the government body I am buying it from literally pushed back the official date as far back as possible
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Yes. This sucks
 
@JourneymanGeek ohhhh you said the magic word, no need to add anything. :D
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars ON THE OTHER HAND
 
government. this explains slowness, lack of enthusiasm, and any possible problem one can think of.
 
I'm half convinced it'll be a little earlier, then they'll be all "LOOK AT US! WE DID IT EARLY!"
@ShadowWizardChasingStars actually in this case...
manpower shortages + covid lockdowns + material shortages + stuff couldn't come in from malaysia
 
@JourneymanGeek oh no, you have the chicken in your other hand?
 
2:34 PM
Its not actually government inefficiency
(that said, the pricy condo I can see from my window seems less affected... hmmm)
 
@JourneymanGeek they're good in one thing: finding excuses. :D
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars so basically "sometime in september, or they have to start paying me damages"
 
"not enough people", "covid!!1!!", "we didn't get it from [put random names here]!"
 
Oh the bigger problem is artifical scarcity and building stuff after they have sold ir
 
@JourneymanGeek Protected by what? Surely that can be circumvented
 
2:38 PM
@Tinkeringbell the government
 
Grab any chicken you can find then. Shouldn't be too hard, if poachers can still poach rhino's, great apes or elephants and get away with it, I doubt there's suddenly massive security for chickens.
 
@Tinkeringbell sure, he can become PM and change the law. :D
@Tinkeringbell chickens make more noise.
 
@Tinkeringbell lol. THey hang out outside the police station here. :D
 
@JourneymanGeek the animals or the hunters? ;)
 
and I once had a cop go "no photos" ... when I pulled out my phone to check my messages
@ShadowWizardChasingStars the birds lol
 
2:40 PM
chirp chirp
 
@JourneymanGeek Ah, okay. First make sure they start hanging out somewhere else then. They're chickens, so bait will work, most likely.
 
that's rats
and a pipe
 
@JourneymanGeek and this is what I was waiting for.
@ShadowWizardChasingStars I think that if we manage to get @Tinkeringbell to dress like this... it may work with chickens too.
 
2:51 PM
@SPArcheon Those are ducks.
 
No thanks, I prefer something that actually covers my underwear.
 
@SPArcheon Dress a parrot as an anime duck?
 
@JourneymanGeek she won't dress as a pirate like her (probable) mlp distant relative...
 
That seems racist.
Not all pollies want a cracker/
 
I am feeling like eating anything and everything edible I have in my apartment right now though. Just because.
 
3:28 PM
@SPArcheon they're attracted to the hat, so better start with that. :D
 
I had a glass of water, I'm good. At least no longer in an 'I'd even eat pizza' mood.
 
@Tinkeringbell that's a good skill, the ability to become full with only water. :D
 
Not full. Luckily I need to listen to a few more sentences in this meeting, then do my 30 minutes of walking, and then I can have dinner. That should help too.
 
One of the benefits of having kids is having a drawer of "never ending snacks", so I don't have to worry about nothing to eat at home. :P
 
I'm still in a "if you put something edible that I like in front of me, it won't survive" mood.
 
3:37 PM
@Tinkeringbell oh, I'm in that mood always, 24/7. Took me years to be able to resist eating my kids meals. :D
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars I have too many snacks leftover from when friends visited yesterday. They're too tempting... but throwing them in the garbage is also not nice, to waste food like that.
 
@Tinkeringbell cover them so you won't see them. ;)
 
They're in the fridge, I'm in the bedroom. They're out of sight, not out of mind :P
 
4:26 PM
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Magisch?
 
 
2 hours later…
5:57 PM
@ShadowWizardChasingStars gone
@ShadowWizardChasingStars gone
@ShadowWizardChasingStars gone
@JourneymanGeek this is the same as the one reported in the message ^ is responding to
@JourneymanGeek gone
@JourneymanGeek and gone
and that is all
 
6:31 PM
@SPArcheon hehe, excellent point! :P
@JNat huh! So short this time. Thanksx3, and you deserve a hat for that! :D
@Tink had your dinner already, all is good? Hunger gone, until tomorrow? ;)
@g3rv4 I see you forgot the browser open, usually you close it, no? :D
back to lurk mode
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars lol I close it every day yeah
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Had dinner. Still want all the snacks but I can just go lay in bed until it's time to sleep and try not to think about it
Dinner was kinda boring, just a salad.
 
@g3rv4 but you lurk here at least since yesterday. I think. ;)
@Tinkeringbell oh, you should also have bread or something equivalent, to fill you up and put a cork on that hunger. :D
I'll have pita bread soon, think I'd have dinner in hour or so.
Bought pack of 10, so the rest are going to freezing.
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Oh, it was one of those big meal salads, it had potatoes.
Still, it was rather boring. I think it's time for some new recipes soon. I've basically been rotating 10-12 things lately
 
@Tinkeringbell hmm think those are different carbs than bread, less feeling. You have "crotons" in your place? Small bits of bread one can add to soup or salad?
 
6:39 PM
@ShadowWizardChasingStars yeah, it's one of the tabs I open when I start my day
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars croutons, yeah. Don't really like them, at least not the storebought ones. They are fatty like chips and oversalted.
 
This:
Sometimes I just have soup with those, and feel like I ate a ton. :D
(also, yummy! ;))
 
It's not that I'm hungry. I know I'm not hungry. I just also know there are leftovers.
And that's a bad knowledge to have
 
I'm less a salad guy so dunno how they really fit in salad though.
@Tinkeringbell oh, bummer. watching the tip fades away slowly
 
Like how after a big meal, you can still eat dessert even though there's absolutely no physical or nutritional need
 
6:42 PM
@g3rv4 respect! :D
@Tinkeringbell which recipes you follow? Specific site?
@Tinkeringbell ohh, so it's a crave. Now that's a nasty thing if you want to keep your weight in its current level. :/
Good thing that you can resist it! :-)
I thought all along you were just hungry so wanted to eat something to be, well, less hungry. :D
@g3r do you like croutons?
:(
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars most of the recipes I made lately were either from an old cookbook I got from mom (she had a duplicate), projectgezond.nl (website) or just simple things I can make from memory, like the salad.
 
@Tinkeringbell nice!
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars Well yeah, I kinda was too just before dinner.
 
Time to bath the kid, cya! :]
@Tinkeringbell oh
 
Cya
Waste of time, two seconds and they're sticky again, but have fun while it lasts!
 
6:49 PM
@ShadowWizardChasingStars I'm a celiac cries in gluten-free tears
 
That wasn't the question. Plenty of ways to make your own gluten free croutons... And homemade ones are always better than storebought
Oh, there are even storebought gluten free versions too
 
7:11 PM
@g3rv4 don't worry, Shadow Wizard for the rescue!
So, do you like it? ^
:D
@Tinkeringbell well maybe he needed it delivered, that's what I'm here for. :P
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars I do! yeah
 
@g3rv4 yay!
delivering free croutons to everyone
I hope you didn't pass the celiac to your daughter? @g3r
(actually, I'm not sure it's inherited at all, but it would make sense, no? ;))
These days we have alternatives, but heck they cost twice and thrice more.
 
she has 25% chances of carrying the genetic predisposition
so far she has no symptoms and it's on the 99th percentile of height
 
@g3rv4 ouch, that's not great. :/
 
(which means she probably doesn't have it active now)
 
7:17 PM
@g3rv4 height? How is it related?
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars usually celiac people are not tall, because we can't extract all the nutrients from the food. I'm an outlier, and that means I didn't have it active while I was a kid or teenager
I'm almost not tested due to my height
 
@g3rv4 oh, wow, didn't know. And it makes perfect sense, sadly.
@g3rv4 aren't the symptoms obvious, e.g. bad stomach aches when eating anything with gluten?
lol I keep getting Heads Up on all the sites I flag Smokey spam in. :D
 
@ShadowWizardChasingStars I have 0 symptoms... never had any... but the biopsy was clear
 
@g3rv4 oh, I see. Is this common? (to have it but without any symptoms)
So, what happens if you eat gluten?
 
it's not common. If I eat gluten, I have higher chances of developing lymphoma... because even if I don't feel or experience anything, my body reacts against gluten
damaging my intestines... a lot of fun
 
8:03 PM
@ShadowWizardChasingStars 😤
@g3rv4 hey we have ruined our diets so much we're all gonna develop at least the IBS-C
But that doesn't stop me from dunks head in chocolate syrup
Ow, shouldn't have done that
