$("thread").append($("Does anyone feel it strange that three people came to complain about suspensions simultaneously?"));
2:03 PM
What does appendTo do?
@Dharmendra It's usually called an avatar. In this case, SE uses the company Gravatar to display the avatars, so you can also call them gravatars
I know that, anyways thanks. :)
@yij Ok, I see
@Manishearth Like append, but reverses the subjects so it's the caller that is appended to the element selected by the selector string passed to appendTo
It's easier to understand than to write about, eh
@Dharmendra Oh, gotcha. Thanks.
My face finally did get stuck like that. I should have heeded my parents warnings.
2:05 PM
Aah, I got it
needs to spend more time reading the docs and learning new functions
@jadarnel27 Its really funny. I like it. Seems you are also a funny guy :)
Read the tag wiki - I wrote half of it, allow me to do some shameless plugging :P
@Dharmendra Yes, I'm hilarious. My great sense of humor is only surpassed by my humility. And good looks.
@jadarnel27 Pffffffft

But mostly the humility. I've pretty much perfected that.

Q: Awesome package from Careers 2.0

RocketSo, I got home yesterday, and found a mysterious package waiting for me. I opened it up to be greeted by a very fancy Careers 2.0 box, with the phrase "go forth and be awesome" on it. Inside this box was a Stackoverflow branded portfolio. It came with a copy of my Careers 2.0 résumé, a copy of...

I also got a package the other day and I thought it was from Stack Overflow... Then I realized that I had been spending too much time on the site and the logo was just burned into my retina...
To be fair, it's mainly because of the fact that free shipping is UNSUPPORTED here. I mean, if I can get them from my local stationary shop I'll get them in a heartbeat. Hmmm... time :D

Don't understand this definition of the electorate badge:

25% of 600 question votes are on questions. Gee whiz.
@Moshe You have voted on 600 questions and have less than 2400 total votes
it's not 25% of 600
@moshe of ALL votes

Q: This description is unclear

MosheI was recently awarded the electorate badge, and I took a look at the description: Electorate: Voted on 600 questions and 25% or more of total votes are on questions. It sounds, at first glance, that we are awarding 25% of question votes which are votes on questions. What?

@TimManishEarth Does it cause the entire browser to crash, or just the tab?
Oh, yes it did
Takes a hard refresh of the chat page to see it
It's all @Tim's fault
