I'm not that bad at JS... I even considered answering JS questions on SO at some point. Took some water and extra rest, and it passed.
What font does SE usually use?
user259867
Fonts are a part of design, site-specific.
@justabrickinthewall even on chat?

@JanDvorak I was away, another user quickly rolled back. But now I see the OP made good progress there, so voted to reopen.
I'll be back!
I'll be Frank!

@Braiam MathJax runs after the page is loaded, and renders the revisions that are shown on page load. Older revisions are loaded dynamically, and MathJax does not run on them. I'll post a feature request or bug report on meta.Math (grey area, which one should it be?)
feature or bug?
user259867
01:15
Ah, this is hopeless. Even in the first revisions, the diff viewer breaks MathJax by repeating some dollar signs, if formulas were edited Example.
@Frank when you are unsure, take them both ;)

Wow, this is like an advanced Comp Sci class?
advanced for whom?
@JanDvorak Advanced meaning it requires "AP Comp Sci A & instructor approval"
user259867
For high school students, apparently. This is from AP Computer Science AB syllabus.
@justabrickinthewall Oh, they just made AB into another class? snort

I find it mildly curious that Shog9 has additional messages in user profile on two sites: Meta.SE and Programmers. Both sound quite... sobering.

@Unihedron Did you improve from within the queue or from question page? Either way, someone had to approve the suggestion so that the suggester got the points..

user259867
WELL, IT'S AN SQL QUESTION...
@justabrickinthewall I improved from within the queue; I was out of quota, but I manually went to the review task by right clicking the edit(1) button and the improve edit button was there. It didn't count as a review task completed, but community approved it.

@Unihedron My point was, the limit refers to the queue, not to edit approvals themselves. Just as you can still cast closevotes after being booted out of the Close queue, you can approve edits if you get to them via the question page.

@rene Where did you get deh codez from?
@Sam was an xml snippet
that gets rendered as html, which doesn't do much because those are not valid html tags
xml should go in an code block

@cVplZ What's witness protection program?
3
12:16
Witness protection is protection of a threatened witness or any person involved in the justice system, including defendants and other clients, before, during and after a trial, usually by police. While a witness may only require protection until the conclusion of a trial, some witnesses are provided with a new identity and may live out the rest of their lives under government protection. Witness protection is usually required in trials against organized crime, where law enforcement sees a risk for witnesses to be intimidated by colleagues of defendants. It is also used at war crime trials. ��2...

There's not much to say...
Is there ever? you lot seem to find thing to talk about anyway, on some days.
Chess anyone?
@Frank Bart always has something to say. Or should I say "had"? :(
@Unihedron I would, but I'm going to church soon. Have to pack sports clothes....
@ShadowWizard :(
13:26
:(
I'll probably play ultimate frisbee and/or badminton, do some hayrides with kids, do a bonfire, etc etc...
That's some bad duck. What's up with her?

@Unihedron Maybe later, I'm working on Pham.
@Frank with who?
@Sam Ok :)
@ShadowWizard the duck.
13:30
@Frank oh, dunno... probably swimming in her pond :)
@ShadowWizard Good. Not Barts pond then...
@Frank guess we can never know..... :D
@ShadowWizard She looks more like pawn than a duck. Maybe she wants to play chess with @Uni.
@Frank too late, I'm playing ;)
@ShadowWizard Is Uni winning?
13:33
@Frank not yet, but I won last time we played
@ShadowWizard Maybe if I distract you, you'll lose.
looks for distracting pictures

@PatrickHofman it takes only 2 to reject in MSE
nothing more we can do.
@ShadowWizard Okay. didn't know that. Thanks
13:48
@PatrickHofman cheers and thanks for bravely standing in the gates, holding the spam away :)
Also too bad the review counts in MSE are so broken, there's no way to know there's a single suggested edit in the queue
You have the counter in the top bar, right?
At least that is what triggered me.
One CV in the queue. That's all now.
@PatrickHofman nope, at 10k we don't have it anymore
hmm.... now that you said it, guess I'll have a tab open with my sock.
Why not? I am 20K at SO and I still see it. Why the difference on MSE?
@PatrickHofman no, we see the grand total of reviews available in all queues, when it's lower than a certain threshold, it won't show
SO always have reviews, MSE usually doesn't have
So I see 1, and you see nothing. That makes sense.
But no problem, I will give you a heads up in chat ;)
13:55
@PatrickHofman yup, and worse, I don't even see "1" when going to the review page itself.
Must actually try to review to know there is one, so without a user script it's nearly impossible to catch suggested edits on MSE.
That makes no sense to me at all. 'Feature request'?
(unless there is more than one, then it all works like a charm)
I am sure that is a dup.
@PatrickHofman nope, might start a bug report soon when it will become too irritating :)
14:12
@ShadowWizard Good luck. Will see it then, or I will when reaching 10K ;)
@PatrickHofman yay! thanks! :D
Lol
He keeps trying... Quite annoying.
@PatrickHofman yup, but in the end of the day, it's just more badges for us ;)
hi @hic!
@ShadowWizard Sure, like you need them
14:26
@PatrickHofman I am addicted to badges
@ShadowWizard Keep some for us.
@PatrickHofman no way! they're mine! :D
By the way, just noticed what you mean by @Inf going to witness protection.... now that's really weird. I blame @hichris123!
@ShadowWizard Not my fault.
@hichris123 last time she reset the avatar she said it's because something you said.... now she reset both avatar and name :(

Why do you people yell at her for pinging me, then? :o
Anyway, hope she'll unmute herself soon, for the sake of the Tavern!
I hope so. I liked to have a girl around here. Makes me feel less nerdish.
@Unihedron not me, I never yelled at her :)

Did IE stop to work after these much pings ?
I'm not using IE.
i guess it must have hanged for a min
ah ok then ok
And actually, one-boxing a message including a ping doesn't actually induce a ping.
