Why are the events on one post split into two chunks?
 
Those events are new, which is why they're highlighted, I think.
Refresh the page and have another look.
 
oh.
 
12:48 AM
@Tinkeringbell See first you like color books then you like murder documentaries - you and my wife are surfing the same wavelength all over the place ;) :)
 
1:01 AM
Murder documentary colouring books?
3
 
apparently: yes, yes those exist
oh a different note, my wife told me she has no desire to own that one but this doesn't stop it from existing
 
Rob
That's why there's a shortage of red Crayons!

@Rob use the alternative: infrared crayons!
 
Rob
6:37 AM
@MetaAndrewT. or you could use blood pudding instead:
 
Now I'm hungary...
 
Rob
Tastes better than it sounds, but the name is accurate.
 
Not my cup of blood.
@AnnZen pressing TAB after the first letter is typed is even faster, true, but still... I like the informal tone of @Spe, @Magi, etc. :)
 
doh!
 
It's like addressing a person with their first name IRL.
(instead of e.g. Mr. Vacus)
Which reminds me, I took a final pic before going to sleep, just for @Spev
 
6:50 AM
@sh Sh!
 
That's the whole deal:
@Da that does not ping. ;)
Three letters are the minimum, @Dav :D
hmm..... @Dav are you using Dove? :P
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I don't need shampoo, I'm bald :/
 
@DavidPostill think they also got soap...
> THOUGHTFULLY MADE: This body wash is PETA-certified cruelty-free and made in 100% recycled plastic bottles, so you can feel good about switching from everyday shower soap to Dove body wash.
lol that's not bad ^
 
7:07 AM
I'm not sure I want a soap made from 100% recycled plastic...
 
@MetaAndrewT. bottles. Read the entire thing.
:D
 
Not sure I want something PETA-certified...
 
PITA is better, true.
Going to connect to VPN that nuke all other connections, cya!
 
7:27 AM
Woohoo
Nailed one exam, five or six to go
I feel like wasting time
 
7:47 AM
@M.A.R. greate!
stock the time more...
 
8:02 AM
@M.A.R. yay! Soon you'll be able to stop reading all day long! :D
 
8:45 AM
Anyone else got the feeling this is fishy question? Maybe not spam seed, but... come on... having a name based on what you ask??
 
Anonymous usernames on Workplace.SE also tend to reflect the questions they ask though.
 
It's not an uncommon thing to do per se when asking on the internet.
 
Self-reflection username is the best username!
 
o/|\o ?
 
9:02 AM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask It's a dupe anyway lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/11338/…

@JohnDvorak lol
@DavidPostill yup

hmmm
 
mhm

Actually no

Q: Show on 'other site' switch

Kyle BrandtFeature-Request / Idea: Sometimes a question seems to fall in between two sites. An example might be php email questions, could be the code or could be the php.ini which often ends up being a sysadmin. So my idea is that there could be a check box to show it on another site as well. It would ...

not decided on this one
 
@JourneymanGeek why? What's the difference from all others?
 
the tags I used to replace it don't fit?
 
Anyway leaving a tag with a single question is odd, think it even gets pruned automatically after a while, no?
 
9:43 AM
but its also something that's not really obsolete
Oh, I want to deal with it, appropriately :D
just not sure yet
 
@JourneymanGeek dunno, but worst case just leave it with the single mandatory tag. No?
 
No rush? :D
 
checking
Phew, no rush on my body.
:D
 
that's rash. and cough
THERE IS A CREAM FOR THAT.
 
whaaat
@JourneymanGeek flagging as spam
!!/test THERE IS A CREAM FOR THAT
 
9:45 AM
> Would not be caught as a post, title or username.
 
YOU SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!?
 
The scream for cream...
 
ugh, what's "cream" again? (jamais vu)
 
@MetaAndrewT. not the cream you have in mind.
 
9:46 AM
the other joke is "OOH PIPECLEANERS!"
 
but I am not going to explain that here
 
Doubt anyone will ask for explanation.... ;)
Those who should know, know. All others, better stay in the dark.
Anyway when I have rash, no cream can help. My rash is too powerful. :D
 
anyway, what's the on-progress tag nuking? belongs-on? or feature-request?
ran away
 
lol
@Meta what mask are you wearing?
Doesn't look standard?
 
9:50 AM
I don't know. It came from Google Image Search...
 
oh lol
My mask is real. :D
 
Looks like it ;)
 
!!/lick @ShadowWizardWearingMask
Hmm
!!/lick
 
@DavidPostill licks ice cream cone
 
!!/lick David
 
10:00 AM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask licks ice cream cone
 
@SmokeDetector So I can't give an ice cream to someone else?
 
Also, considering my rash, better not lick me. :P
 
Ah
!!/coffee sha
 
@DavidPostill brews a cup of Espresso for @sha
 
10:04 AM
!!/lick sha
 
@DavidPostill licks ice cream cone
 
@DavidPostill thanks!
Anyway, only coffee, tea, and welcome really accept a name and act upon it.
And most commands are ignored when the message contains a ping, as it assume it's not directed to Smokey.
 
Got it, thanks

@Mithical I would like to request SD privileges.
 
12:48 PM
@AnnZen wrong person.... those who can give you access are listed here under "Administrators".
(Developers might also be able to add privileges, not sure.)
 
@ArtOfCode I would like to request SD privileges.
 
Better. I wish you good luck! :)
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask I was reading the transcript, and saw another user ping @Mithical
 
@AnnZen they're active with Smokey, just not admin or developer.
I might have made that same mistake, no worry. ;)
 
fun fact: my pc is mute most of the time
 
12:54 PM
@AnnZen same here
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMask do you get an asterisk on your tab when someone pings you?
 
@AnnZen yup
(no need to clutter with onebox ;))

It's like what @DavidPostill wrote, easy to read (even though some characters are nonsense, such as the upside down and backwards k, g, r, d, and h) yet makes no sense.
 
Rob
There's probably a term that describes the phenomenon.

Psycho-shadow
@TravisJ good luck in the elections, you got my vote. :)
 
Rob
All that writing is certainly going to cause some tail chasing for our four legged friend.
 
@Rob it this a cat?
Anyway, turns out converting JS code to T-SQL is not easy..
But I did it!
Declare @Now DateTime;
Declare @CurrentYear int;
Declare @EndOfSeasonThisYear DateTime;
Declare @EndOfSeasonNextYear DateTime;
Declare @Expiration DateTime;
Set @Now = GetDate();
Select @CurrentYear = Year(@Now);
Select @EndOfSeasonThisYear = DATEFROMPARTS(@CurrentYear, 6, 30); --June 30th
Select @EndOfSeasonNextYear = DATEFROMPARTS(@CurrentYear + 1, 6, 30); --June 30th
If @EndOfSeasonThisYear > @Now Begin
	Set @Expiration =  @EndOfSeasonThisYear;
End Else Begin
	Set @Expiration =  @EndOfSeasonNextYear;
pats self on shoulder
Goal: set expiration date to end of season.
(was only one month, fixed, which isn't good)

@ShadowWizardWearingMask good to see I'm not listed under the all-round cool people ....
 
Thats's got more to do with me being dyslexic than me chasing my tail, which I'm pretty sure is uncatchable
 
@Rob thanks!
@rene but you're in a good place among the Developers... ;)
 
2:48 PM
I guess I got that spot for editing the rooms.yml ....
 
Rob
 
@JourneymanGeek Srsly, crocs?!
 
@rene spot of honor!
@Tinkeringbell yeah, no socks. Blasphemy! :D
 
Rob
@JourneymanGeek Some Westies have long tails, didn't know that you were of the short-tailed variety.
 
I have a short tail too.
 
Rob

It's my dad, he is a retiree 😁
@Rob docked. Half snauzer
 
@JourneymanGeek That's no excuse to wear crocs :P
 
Rob
Docked and Crocked
 
3:08 PM
> There has actually been some significant work done here - but I'm gonna be generous and give it an (I)ncomplete grade, because this is all just foreplay: the real make-or-break changes are yet to come. Specifically:

Hiding closed questions
Edit-triggered reopening
I seriously hope the last one never happens, that sounds too easy.
 
the last one is already confusing
 
Rob
Yes, leave it in the queue.
 
That the changes are shelved or adjusted due to community feedback would be a positive
@Tinkeringbell actually... he has had foot issues and his chiropodist suggested them
 
@JourneymanGeek I do hope it remains shelved for a long time then. Perhaps as long as the preserves in some museums ;)
@JourneymanGeek See, now you have an excuse ;)
 
they also have 'normal' sandals that which don't look like a foot bucket.
 
Rob
3:13 PM
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Weird, the Notification on-site decrypts your reversed text and renders it correctly:
 
I dunno. I find people wearing crocs... it's kinda gross. They're basically just a piece of plastic, so there's always the sweaty-foot-sticking-to-plastic-and-coming-loose sound, and often smells too.
 
Crocs!? Not my fave...
 
They're kinda rubbery
 
Rob
@Tinkeringbell He's the curator of this website: artofmanliness.com/articles/a-mans-guide-to-boat-shoes
 
And colorish
 
Rob

Rob
3:28 PM
There's even an article for @Sha, the pee coat.
 
Crocs are great. Klima Flex are better.
 
Careful. People can kick you out of the room now.
 
Perhaps I should try wearing Klima Flex now...
 
@Tinkeringbell How about crocs made of wood? :D
 
not sure what you meant by "official", but yes, it's a typo, a minor one since the meaning is still clear...
 
@MetaAndrewT. Official as in, the typo is in an official document.
 
I'd expect the bounty was made in real life and with the typo. Perhaps one could fix the wording with developer tool, but typo in a quote is usually left as-is.
 
Of all the example bounties to display, why one with a typo?
 
Perhaps that's the only bounty on that day, 9 years ago? Who knows...
 
4:20 PM
@PM2Ring I used to have those as a kid, they make great shoes for playing. No need to worry about damaging the noses of the ones you have to wear to church.
Great for kicking people in their shins, too.
 
Rob
@Tinkeringbell These are the best for shin kicking, steel toe running shoes - stealth / unexpected and great for the getaway:
 
Ah, yeah. Those definitely win on stealth over wooden shoes ;)
 
Rob
For the rest of us, probably for running away too - though I don't doubt that there's such a thing as wooden shoe races.
 
@Rob Search for 'klompenrace' on youtube ;)
 
I lived near Coffs Harbour for several years. It's a popular tourist destination. One of the tourist attractions is The Clog Barn.
 
4:31 PM
That looks Dutch enough ;)
The food they serve doesn't really look typical though.
 
Rob
Sometimes things get lost in the translation:
 
the model village looks kinda like madurodam
 
Rob
 
Well, it's a compromise. They get lots of tourists from all over Australia, but also lots from Asia.
 
@Rob Ah, those... yeah, these are known here too. They are more fun/difficult if there's wooden shoes on the boards though, instead of just straps.
 
Rob
4:39 PM
@Tinkeringbell There seems to be infinite variations on making it more difficult:
 
Both are entertaining if you can get a reasonably coordinated teammate :)
 
Rob
5:01 PM
@Tinkeringbell Then there's this:
 
Oof. I'm going to say those are great, if you like bunions.
 
Rob
Gaga shoes
 
She's welcome to have them :)
 
Rob
🌰 bunion - beatnik poetry
 
Rob
5:21 PM
Another take on wooden shoes:
 
those are stilts ;)
 
Rob
Stilt is a common name for several species of birds in the family Recurvirostridae, which also includes those known as avocets. They are found in brackish or saline wetlands in warm or hot climates. They have extremely long legs, hence the group name, and long thin bills. Stilts typically feed on aquatic insects and other small creatures and nest on the ground surface in loose colonies. Most sources recognize 6 species in 2 genera, although the white-backed and Hawaiian stilts are occasionally considered subspecies of the black-necked stilt. The genus Charadrius was introduced by the Fren...
🙃
 
Rob
🤭
@Tinkeringbell How about the Tengu Geta - Japanese stilt and wooden shoe combined:
 
That looks... not so great either :P
 
5:33 PM
I'm already clumsy enough lol
 
Rob
You must snatch rock from hand while running in them.
 
I'd fail at pretty much every step of that...literally
 
> The tallest stilts ever mastered measured 16.41 m (53 ft 10 in) from ground to ankle. Saimaiti Yiming (China) was able to walk a distance of 10 steps on them, without touching his safety lines in Shanshan County, Xinjiang, China, on 15 November 2006.
 
@Rubiksmoose Hmm. I'm tempted to say that when tilted 45 degrees forward, they shouldn't be that much more uncomfortable than high heels :P
And manageable.
 
@Tinkeringbell I'm already impressed at people that can manage heels lol
 
@Rubiksmoose They're not too horrible, when sitting in a restaurant, movie theater or at a party for a night :P
 
@Rob In 2008, Maloy set an unverified world record
 
@Tinkeringbell hah! I think I could accept most any footwear while seated
 
@Rubiksmoose Wet socks? :P
Oh, or lotus shoes. No matter how seated I am, I don't think I'd ever be able to accept that.
 
Rob
Standing next to a height measurement, not so much ...
 
5:44 PM
yeah but she's cheating at least 6 inches.
 
Rob
Long fingers ?
 
I meant the shoes ;)
But yeah, she's got big hands too.

Pickle jar fingers are OK, on a woman. For a guy I'd rather have club paws.

@Tinkeringbell Ewww no thanks. Luckily I said "most any" :D
 
Rob
The digit ratio is the ratio of the lengths of different digits or fingers. The 2D:4D ratio is the most studied digit ratio and is calculated by dividing the length of the index finger of a given hand by the length of the ring finger of the same hand. A number of studies have shown a correlation between the 2D:4D digit ratio and various physical and behavioral traits. == Measurement == The digit length is typically measured on palmar (ventral) hand, from the midpoint of bottom crease (where the finger joins the hand) to the tip of the finger. However, recently measurement of digit on dorsal hand...
 
@Rubiksmoose True, true... just pushing the boundaries a little :P
 
Also not acceptable: red-hot iron shoes ala Cinderella
 
I always keep forgetting about those. I grew up with the polite version of the story.
 
@Rubiksmoose aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
6:50 PM
@Tinkeringbell Same. I think I was only introduced to the "real" versions much later in life lol
 
7:11 PM
@Rob your hand?
@Rob what's wrong with skin?
 
Rob
No, and nothing; in fact, as I recall, you were the first one to ask for the beach photo (showing nothing) to be deleted.
 
@Rob how you find those things?? Lol
@Rob I asked for a friend. ;)
Personally I'm fine with (almost) anything, but over here, must put my PG13 hat on. ;)

@ShadowWizardWearingMask How about this kind of inspection:
Peer review is the evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work (peers). It functions as a form of self-regulation by qualified members of a profession within the relevant field. Peer review methods are used to maintain quality standards, improve performance, and provide credibility. In academia, scholarly peer review is often used to determine an academic paper's suitability for publication. Peer review can be categorized by the type of activity and by the field or profession in which the activity occurs, e.g., medical peer review. == Pr...
