Looking at this answer I wonder - did ` i.sstatic.net` exist already in 2011?
"Hosting the images on i.sstatic.net would be preferable, as the host is more reliable."
It is used for 'common' site resources
Like css and such I think?

Thanks for the response! Still, it surprised me a bit to see it mentioned in a discussion about Imgur: Should I change image links from private sites to imgur
But at least I learned that the domain already existed.

just testing something
This room was placed in timeout for 7 seconds; YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID
room mode changed to Gallery: anyone may enter, but only approved users can talk
room mode changed to Public: anyone may enter and talk
room topic changed to Tavern on the Meta: MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS AND BACKLOG! General friendly chit-chat; general discussions about MSE or the wider network also welcome. [bug] [crickets] [discussion] [excuses] [support] [unicorns] [waffles]
I had to refresh the page for it to become Public again.
Also, we do have a chat Sandbox for this kinda stuff :P
where's the fun in that
That's the cowardly option
@Tinkeringbell that's probably because I made two changes in quick succession
13:06
@balpha Perhaps. It went to Gallery without me refreshing it, so it stuck me as kinda weird and something useful to write down for anyone else wondering :P
@balpha I dunno how much testing you want to do...
Depends a bit on if the volume of tests remain 'fun'
I'm already done 😄
Oh. That's probably tolerable then.
and the room was quiet, I wouldn't have interrupted a discussion if one had been happening
Still, the next user I'm pushing towards the Sandbox with their bot or markdown tests or whatever now doesn't get to complain about me playing favorites with staff.
Equality and consistency when modding, and all that jazz.
@Tinkeringbell what're you going to do, kick him? :D
13:13
Probably another warning first.
I think that's how I usually do it, but I'd have to look it up. I have to admit I struggle to be consistent.
So many things to remember.
do you struggle consistantly?
No, that's inconsistent too.
For example when cooking I write things down and that makes it easy to be consistent.
But when walking, it's hard to keep a consistent pace during different weather circumstances.
@JourneymanGeek Poke him with a stick. I hear that's a Stacker's kryptonite.
Even when I walk the same path, sometimes it's really loose sand (dry) and other times it's rather easy walking because the sand is wet and forms a firm surface.
I'm told they no longer are promised not to be poked with a sharp stick :D
13:17
I don't think I have any sharp sticks lying around... Most are kinda blunt.
Or snap too easily to make for good poking.
14:15
@balpha when I try to ignore @Journey his messages stay visible. It's like they're seared onto my mind
right into your blacked charred sole.
hmm, works for me
Oh, now it works, yeah
Finally, some peace and quiet
It was intentionally broken specifically for you and only for the 1 time in a deliberate attempt to confuse you.
Excellent, now I can talk about controversial subjects like how indian sweets are better than iranian ones.
14:18
Am I forgetfully masochistic enough to un-ignore him, is the question on my mind right now.
The answer is probably yes.
@JourneymanGeek Are they really better?
@Marco Its controversial
:D
Hmm... I imagine Singaporean sweets are the best
Well, technically local ethnic groups each have their own
With some overlap
14:24
Is this a good thing?
generally yes
Awesome
@balpha glad to see rooms now reload when their details are changed! is timing a room out supposed to reload the page as well? I can't remember if pre-upgrade chat did that, but it definitely doesn't as of right now
it shouldn't reload, no -- just hide the chat box and show the countdown
presently the chatbox does not hide
14:27
where are you testing it?

 The Honeypot :3

Unknown event dump for TNB.
oh, is it still in gallery? oops
I see the timeout (in an incognito window)
yeah, same here. that's weird
apologies for the false alarm, I suppose
of course now I have to figure out how chat knows the timeout happened :p
thanks anyway
all good, let me know if you see it again
14:49
Well well well.

That's a really stupid simplification. As long as it refills, you haven't drunk it dry. And people do dig new holes (sometimes at the bottom of an existing hole) once the well dries up.
There's very simple science here... It's not ridiculous they work, at all
19:20
@Tinkeringbell well, it's bit deeper than that, as always with that comic. ;)
Not sure how true this is, but making some sense.
I'm not going to appreciate jokes that take a Wikipedia page to explain.
I'm a simple person.
@Tinkeringbell heh, quite the same for me. But I do admire them for coming with so many, and keeping it going for so long.
@Tinkeringbell SimpleSon? Or Perple? :P
urgh it's time
Time to make dinner
And eat.
Still dunno what exactly. Hard choices of life!
19:46
I threw stuff in the slowcooker at lunchtime, and had a nice chicken-apple curry for dinner :)

@Tinkeringbell yummy!

Can someone clean up the comments on this answer? I forget how much tooling there is for this sort of thing, but I think some of the back-and-forth would be better suited for a chat room.
22:54
Part of me wants to just delete it anyway, but I'm letting the LQP review that's ongoing for it pan out.
23:25
@Anerdw I'm slightly tempted to use mah flags there but ehhh, its got mod attention already and as such its a waste of everyone's time to flag for attention it already has :D
