Let the happy hour begin!

@animuson I finally thought about how I might make notification management work with the userscript so...perhaps.

@TimStone It seems like the happy hour has elapsed (and then some) with but one thing said.

Daniel Fischer

@NickT That's normal. Everybody is too happy to speak.

A: <kbd /> elements are still intrusive

Our designer, Jin, has much improved the styles on <kbd> elements. View an example here: <kbd> elements are way intrusive (Forgive the broken castle above it)

Nuuuuu... they brokened the castle

I'd rather rollback that last title edit. "Inspired by" is quite different from "direct clone", which is what the question originally listed

All three were approved by a moderator. All three are Wikipedia copy/paste jobs.

I'm guessing Bill was just going through the queue trying to rid it of some old suggestions or something.

> Honduras. The president is allowed to serve only one four-year term. Their constitutional explicitly states that any president who supports or advocates the removal of term limits must immediately remove himself or herself from public office.

This is... quite an interesting idea

Private beta ain't so private?

Yi Jiang's Proble_

@Manishearth Yup. Chat uses the API, which exposes all sites, including the ones in private beta

666 rep, mwahahahahaha

Daniel Fischer

Pfft, not self-referential enough. 666666, that would be awesome

The bane of area51:

Proposed Q&A site for everyone else; outcasts, the curious, and the brave.

Currently in definition.

(of course, that was done by vote fraud )

@DanielFischer Is 66,666 fine?

(not self-referential though :P)

Daniel Fischer

@Manishearth Still one 6 off. 55,555 was fine (and the 4,444 you recently had on Physics).

Manishearth

@DanielFischer Aah, i remember that :)

Daniel Fischer

Yeah, should have frozen your account then :)

Manishearth

@DanielFischer We have a choice: we mass upvote+bounty waffles till he reaches 666666 (hard due to repcap), or, we mass downvote him to 55,555 (easier, but we'll probably lose all our rep doing that)

@DanielFischer I once got 1337 on MSO

Apr 4 at 16:11, by Manishearth

Just five more reps till 1337 on MSO. After that I'll ask the devs to lock my rep ;-)

Daniel Fischer

To get waffles back down to 55,555, we'd need over 5,500 downvotes, that'll take us so long that with the additional upvotes he gets in that time, we'd need over 9000!

Did someone delete the convert recently? It's back: stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/convert but nothing before march 30th.

@NickT since you're an active chem.SE member, and you have zero questions, I'm going to blatantly shove this in your face: meta.chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/72/… :P . Please, can we get our question-asking rate up? (Sorry if contacting you this way offended you, but it seems that nobody's reading meta and there's no way to get the message across :/. Saw your gravatar, thought it was worth a shot)

@Manishearth meh, all the questions I have are hard :P

@Manishearth and what you mean "zero questions", I have one

Q: Do terminal amides participate in $\pi$ stacking?

In a crystal structure I've determined, a triazole ring on my ligand appears to be stacking with a tyrosine (top in picture): However, there is also an amide, courtesy a glutamine, near it (bottom). Is it likely this terminal amide is engaging in π-π interactions with the triazole or ju...

Lix

whats wrong with that?

only the OP should have the ability to edit his deleted post... no?

animuson

It was a new popup I'd never seen before. :D I actually cast the last delete vote on that so I didn't have to approve the edit.

Lix

Tim Stone

@animuson Hmm

That's...probably bad.

I guess it's hard to say what should happen there, since I'm going to assume the suggested edits become valid again if the post is undeleted.

But it's indicating there's something to action on when it already knows that there can't be, and it's problematic if the suggested edits can't be approved but also block the OP from editing (or does that not happen?)

animuson

I don't know, I don't personally have a deleted post with a pending suggested edit on it.

ugg.. jsfiddle only answers will drive me insane one of these days...

People have some trouble comprehending the purpose of getting great content on to the site as opposed to amassing lists and lists of jsfiddle/documentation link only answers. We want the content to be here not linked to from here...

Regards, My Middle Mouse Button.

On a totally different topic, favorite tag highlighting on meta is a contrast nightmare...
