Jason C

That's weird it beeped at me twice.

Blue Ice

04:36

@JasonC I made an answer on the Orphan question- what do you think?

Jason C

@BlueIce I think the guy is probably frustrated about having a question go unanswered, and he is confused and looking for guidance and a friend, and you just straight up told him "No" when all he wanted was a shoulder to lean on. And this makes me really sad. waaaaaaaah :'(

I mean, +1

Blue Ice

@JasonC Maybe I'll put a bounty on his question? :)

Jason C

Haha yes. Me too.

Oh right it's not eligible yet.

@BlueIce Lol I wonder why it's tagged tag-wiki.

Blue Ice

Erm, not sure which one he wants...? he has a lot of questions!

Jason C

I wonder what unanswered question he's actually talking about.

Jason C

It boggles my mind how it is 2014, and yet transferring a file from one computer to another one sitting right next to it still somehow manages to be a painstaking process.

Honestly, I feel like I should just be able to touch the icon with my finger and fling it in the general direction of the other computer.

Quincunx

@JasonC Even copying files within one computer can take minutes.

Especially if it is a workspace created by Quartus II. For some reason, it thinks there is a need to create a new file for every minute step of the compilation process. And it adds a header to each file containing copyright info and license. The header usually takes ~6-8 times the size of the rest of the file.

Blue Ice

@Jason I am so going to make an app for that.

Jason C

Oh, got it. All I needed to do was dig up my SD card adapter and a microSD card, stick it in the card reader on the source machine, format the card and copy the file, take the microSD card out and put it in my phone, connect the phone via USB to the destination machine, put the phone in fileserver mode, and copy the file. Easy. The future is NOW, baby.

@Quincunx Ew; SSD's for the win, I guess.

Visual Studio has a bad habit of vomiting files all over the place too.

Jason C

Where are my razor blades...

Blue Ice

@JasonC Is it sacrilege to use a Windows-branded keyboard with a Linux distribution?

Quincunx

@JasonC That's a much better way of wording it. My way uses a definition of "minute" that many people strangely don't seem to understand. Your way makes it quite obvious (especially from my vivid memory of trying to hold in the vomit while on a road trip; vomit flew everywhere)

Oops. I used @JasonC to reply to your "last" post, but the last post changed by the time I finished writing my post. :-). Now the @ is not relevant.

Blue Ice

@Quincunx Ewww. TMI :P

Jason C

05:18

Haha what is going on here

Blue Ice

Vomit discussion!

Quincunx

@BlueIce What? It's not like I actually described how I clamped my hand over my mouth to keep it in (at the suggestion of my brother) and the pressure built up from the first heave before it increased too much on the second.

Jason C

@BlueIce I dunno, I think Linux eats Windows keys for energy, it's probably good to keep it fed.

@Quincunx Nope. Not impressed. Run-of-the-mill vomit. Got that t-shirt. Got it all over that t-shirt, actually. Next!

Blue Ice

@Quincunx Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo‌oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stahp

gross

Well, when I vomit, it looks like this:

Jason C

LOL

Blue Ice

05:21

not pleasant, huh?

:)

Jason C

@Quincunx By the way, the trick is to swallow the first heave.

^ Win

Quincunx

@JasonC Not possible when there is <1 second between heaves.

Blue Ice

@JasonC Auuugh

Quincunx

But I have done this thing where I vomit just before swallowing, filling my mouth with the pleasant taste of vomit.

Jason C

@Quincunx Did it come out your nose? Lol

Blue Ice

05:22

AAAAAAAAUUUGH

Quincunx

@JasonC Nope. Just came out of my mouth, sort of like how air comes out of a balloon (except my head didn't fly around).

So, who exactly am I supposed to bribe so I don't have to add up all the users? :-P haha

Blue Ice

05:24

@Emilie Oh yeah... :)

Jason C

Haha I am so tempted to try and out-gross you, @Quincunx, but I just don't have the balls to do it in SO chat.

Emilie

and I'm taking that means there is no easy way to do this

Jason C

And I don't think @BlueIce could make the text any more bold, although I suppose there's still italics.

I bet I know exactly what Calvin & Hobbes comic this is before I even click it.

Haha no I guessed wrong. Good one.

Quincunx

05:28

Which did you think of?

Blue Ice

@Emilie I got you an answer- I knew that you could find it on the front page, but I just forgot. The comment beat me by just a couple seconds :)

Emilie

haha yea I feel stupid for not seeing that

but I'd still prefer to be able to run a query or something hmmph

hahahaha

thanks for making it WORSE

Quincunx

@JasonC Overall favorite Calvin and Hobbes: gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1990/02/11#.U0DmYPldXKg

Best poem EVER!

Jason C

@Quincunx Crap I can't find it, I'll have to look through the books, and now I'm questioning my memory. It was Calvin throwing up and doing something gross.

Quincunx

@JasonC Like wanting to bring it to show-and-tell? (I know he did that for something like this)

Jason C

05:33

@Quincunx I remember a show-and-tell one too, but I think the one I'm thinking of involved his mom's cooking somehow, or maybe he was just sick in bed.

Blue Ice

@Quincunx I kindof like the comic where he mocks the national anthem of the US :)

Jason C

Man, it just occurred to me how long it's been since I read these. I used to drool over new books being released when I was younger. I still have them all buried somewhere. I will have to dig them up.

Blue Ice

@Quincunx I think he says "Queen Fragg" in it somewhere... ?

@JasonC I try to stay away from that sort of joke. I don't like them much, especially since there are many other funny jokes out there.

Jason C

@Quincunx PBF does get a bit dark sometimes.

Quincunx

Good pun: (#345): rinkworks.com/jokes/jokes35.shtml

Then there is a whole family of jokes/puns along this line:

"A man walked into a bar.... Ouch! That must have hurt"

"3 people walked into a building.... You'd think one of them would've noticed!"

@Quincunx ^ (SFW)

@JasonC That joke is more playing off of standard jokes rather than playing on words. I like puns much more.

But that is pretty good, like this one: "A cowboy walks into a bar. The bartender says, 'Is this some sort of joke?'"

Jason C

Oh my god, I can't win!

@Quincunx Your bosons, they give me a hadron.

Quincunx

I like how it is acceptable to chat about off-topic things in chatrooms. This conversation is clearly closely correlated to the purpose of meta.stackoverflow.com

Oh there were some sausage puns here the other day:

15

A: Why Do Sausages Always Split Lengthwise?

I'll have to take a page from my EE background and say it's because of the path of least resistance. If you look at the end of a sausage, there is already tension along that plane, in multiple locations: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link (see what I did there? :) ), so it's natural...

Quincunx

Hurray for textbook tidbits that they like to include in the margins and footer.

The same textbook had a limerick about these two boys who learned about recycling

But then got carried away and "recycled their mother's new van".

But I can't remember the rest of the limerick. :(

Does anyone know what the number next to the user is (in chat)

Is it the number of chat posts made?

Blue Ice

Blue Ice

@AJ Hiya!

Quincunx

Blue Ice

06:16

@AJ Nice questions and answers btw. I upvoted a couple :)

AJ Henderson

thanks, yeah, I've been trying to get more active on meta

Blue Ice

@quincunx It probably updates reallllly slowly

Or you gain rep quickly

Well, lets see mine

one more

Quincunx

No, I didn't gain that much rep today.

Blue Ice

@Quincunx It might be every week

Blue Ice

@Quincunx Mine is that color also.

It's like seawater in a bathtub

Quincunx

Wonder what chat would think of a "blank" message:

Blue Ice

Nope.

It won't eat it.

Well, it will eat blank images

That are 1px by 1 px

AJ Henderson

06:29

@AJHenderson you can however respond to yourself

Blue Ice

Sooooooooooooooooo

Quincunx

It won't even accept a zero-width space. It works with comments though.

@BlueIce I admire your talent.

@BlueIce Thanks! I think you are pretty neat also.

@BlueIce You are so considerate.

@BlueIce Wow, thank you!

@BlueIce @Quincunx @AJ multiple @s work too.

@Quincunx that was what I was refering to with the blue name

It does ping me.

Blue Ice

@Quincunx but it won't ping hosch250.

Quincunx

I think it does.

Blue Ice

You can ask Doorknob about that. He's in this room quite a bit.

@JasonC @AJHenderson @Quincunx Does it?

Jan Dvorak

@BlueIce most likely it's because they're not in the room

Quincunx

06:34

hosch250 is very active on that site, and he hasn't said anything about it not pinging him (he requested to be put on the ping list (wait is he even a he, or is he a she?))

I got it.

Blue Ice

Hmm. I thought I read somewhere about comment ping limits

Quincunx

Yeah

Comments can only ping once

Blue Ice

I might be thinking of comments, though.

Blue Ice

@AJ guess so! You learn something new every day!

gtg. It's a bit late for me to be not going to bed (even if I can sleep in 2morrow)

Blue Ice

@Quincunx byee!

Actually, I need to go to bed also.

So goodnight!

AJ Henderson

but yeah, being a moderator on the SE chat server, I automatically end up reaching for the controls when I see something that might need attention and don't remember that I'm on a chat room that isn't part of the SE chat server

@Quincunx there is a workaround though. Reply to user A, wait a minute for him/her to see the message then edit the comment and reply to user B instead. User B will be notified as well. You can do it again of course, until the 5 minutes comment edit period is over.

@LaszloPapp yup flagging one as Other and pointing it out should do the job :)
