user728672

user728672
Okay we'll see now
 
your avatar is from google
 
user728672
yes. my google account
 
user728672
but i think i can have a separate one here. as long as i never sign out of SE
 
user728672
5:10 PM
brb'
 
hmm my new avatar is not showing here
 
@Ollie thanks? Well, just sharing my IRL experience, online. ;)
 
you created a new account? @ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2
 
@rene is there a Smokey sandbox room?
 
no
 
5:12 PM
@Wolf no, just changed name, avatar, and About Me.
 
ok
 
Thanks @Adam for teaching me about Oxford comma!
Can't forget the image. It's burned in my memory.
:D
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 There is a Charcoal Test room. It does have helpful stats and other info posted by another bot, halflife, in there though.
If there's any place to play with Smokey (btw, not a toy. It's got some fun commands, but its core purpose is site-wide moderation efforts) it'd be there.
 
@Spevacus but can we spam poor Smokey with commands, in there?
@Spevacus oh. lol
 
It's a better place than most elsewhere. Here's a link to it.
 
5:14 PM
uh oh
Poor Smokey. Prepare yourself for the arrival of @Wolf :P
 
sdc coffee ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2
 
@Wolf brews a cup of jQuery for @ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2
 
ok
 
user728672
hmm
 
user728672
okay better
 
5:16 PM
Please don't play with me too much; I'm a serious bot meant for detecting spam, not for playing around with! I've got some fun features, but please be careful not to abuse them.

I answered a question last night about boat anchors. At this rate it will beat the 9 UV for a 2 year old answer in SFF

A: Spaceship from a film or show that is semi circular in shape with a section jutting out of the middle

G WarnerTL;DR It was made specifically for the Fab Cafe in Manchester. A Google image search provided this link to reddit which someone had also inquired about the model. Two peoples' responses make these claims: Person 1: 6 years ago SOLVED:...

 
user728672
All I did was moslty cut and past after I googled it..
 
@rene maybe time to add Smokey's Block List?
 
user728672
5:27 PM
Anyway sorry to create a fire hazard in here Smokey
 
@GWarner oh, I see.
@Tinkeringbell 12 years old is a record! When I was 21, everyone were certain I'm 15 or so, had to carry my identification card always to prove age. :P
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Ouch, that sucks :(
 
Oh this reminds me, I put same image as avatar on Line (like WhatsApp but with different people) and someone said I look like "Japanese girl". :/
Let me see...
 
"I'm looking for a 30-year-old man who looks like a 12-year-old Japanese girl. Have you seen anyone?"
 
Shadow is the one
 
5:33 PM
@Mithical Make sure to film and share the reactions tomorrow :P
 
user728672
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 And I thought my eyes were bad.
 
....uuuhhh, no.
 
user728672
i actually never used it so I DK
 
Better not to make claims about things you don't know anything about then.
 
user728672
bit of a stretch?
 
user728672
5:35 PM
true
 
user728672
okay oint taken
 
It's just a method of texting without paying the texting fees on your phone.
 
@GWarner ointment? ;)
@Tinkeringbell nah, kind of enjoyed it. ;)
 
The closest thing to WhatsApp is probably Discord.
 
@Mithical I would say Telegram :P But sure ;)
 
user728672
5:38 PM
Point without the Pisant attitude about being corrected?
 
@Mithical nah, Telegram much closer. Discord has totally different mechanism for groups, I still can't grasp it to be honest.
@Mithical if it pays well, I'm in. :D
 
user728672
ok. so i cant believe everything the kids say...
 
Oh, right, Telegram. I've never actually used it.
@GWarner Pffft.
 
user728672
but who pays for texting on their phone nowadays anyway?
 
whats telegram
 
5:39 PM
 
user728672
ask wolf. i think he's still a minor
 
Being a minor is fine. Acting immature is less fine, and not limited to minors ;)
 
user728672
its a tin can phone that can only transmit clicks
 
umm ok
 
5:41 PM
@Tink that's what I mentioned before ^^
 
Rob
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 We have your photo from then:
 
user728672
lol
 
user728672
bay shark!
 
user728672
baby shark
 
oh no
 
Rob
5:42 PM
Same underwear!
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I can't see it. Sure, your facial features might look a bit Japanese if I squint at the small picture, but.... I just don't see the girl! :P
No babies please.
 
@Rob how you see my underwear?!
removes camera
 
lol
 
user728672
yea i dont do graphics when i text. its kinda missing the point
 
5:43 PM
@Rob eyes in wrong color, my eyes are more brown.
 
user728672
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
 
Rob
I cut the photo off, to prevent complaints of mythical proportions; and due to the blueness.
 
@Tinkeringbell I'll try to see if I can see my own small avatar on Line, didn't really try it yet. :)
@Rob which one? The baby shark mask photo is the original
@Mithical well I have to, for work. It's not bad, to be honest.
 
Rob
Put the camera back.
 
I kinda have to use WhatsApp for the army
 
5:47 PM
@GWarner I suspect it's a case of adult acting like a minor but meh, can't know and it doesn't really matter, as @Mith also said. :)
 
user728672
yea.
 
user728672
okay you lost the darth mask. no reason to photoshop darth eyes and helmet
 
@rene :D
@Mithical really?? That's nice, army being so modern. ;)
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 they have several apps that you're required to download >.<
 
@Mithical so why WhatsApp? No IDF-Messenger app? :D
 
5:50 PM
nah, just apps like a daily "where are you today" thing that you send in in the morning
 
I once hacked a very very very early alpha version of some communication program, back in 1998 or 1999. It was fun. Luckily nobody noticed. ;)
 
user728672
well army. i bet because it's easier to monitor users
 
user728672
I knew a guy that hacked the school board and boosted grades
 
@GWarner classic! Only his own grades?
 
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I mean, they've got idf.il/%D7%90%D7%AA%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%98%D7%9D/…
 
5:53 PM
@Rob only when I'll go to sleep, so it will be boring.
2.5 hours of watching Shadow sleeping
 
user728672
I DK know exactly it was too long ago.. I think it was in the newspaper and he mightve saw $$ when he saw he could do it
 
user728672
so i bet he changed a lot of grades
 
user728672
10 years later a BBS i was involved with was in the center of a murder trial.
 
Rob
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I think that the two images of different people look as close to the same person as you're going to get:
 
user728672
Early days of social media and it was already seedy
 
Rob
5:55 PM
 
user728672
Could be the same.. but doubtful
 
user728672
Any way. good chatting babyshark.

user728672
okay maybe goggle is slow to update
 
check my avatar
 
Rob
6:03 PM
Goggle or Google - maybe that's the problem, wrong URL.
 
user728672
@Rob lol
 
user728672

user728672

Rob
6:20 PM
Here's his rapper look:
 
user728672

user728672
 
user728672
I think ill grab the refelections alone.
 
LOL Shadow on the Tavern
@GWarner oh my. Was he caught? Got punished?
 
woah
 
6:31 PM
@GWarner ouch. Were you affected? Accused of something?
@Rob true, face got something in common.
@GWarner tough guy. Not me. :P
Though being in the army and all, "tough" isn't adjective I can use for myself.
@GWarner hehe, nicely done!
I do have reflective (?) sunglasses, will take a pic tomorrow.
They are blue.
And about 15 years old. lol
 
BTW @GWarner talking about crimes, you know Stack Overflow took active part in taking down a very notorious criminal? Some drug dealer from Dark Web.
He still has a profile on SO lol.

Q: Did the Stack Exchange staff members assist in the apprehension of Ross Ulbricht?

wimThe recent arrest of someone behind Silk Road is in the news today, he was arrested in a San Francisco public library. A couple of background articles here and here. To what extent, if any, did staff and/or admins have in assisting law enforcement agencies in arresting this programmer? Did the...

Jaydles.... urgh. Good old times. Missing him.
If only he was around more actively with the Monica scandal, everything could be so much better.

user728672
6:53 PM
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Didn't know that.. there's bad apples in every basket.
 
user728672
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 He was caught within hours, just a little shocked, I didn't really know him closely. But in retrospect, his behaviour online was a sure sign of trouble. Early days before internet, and very few people knew about using a modem to talk through a computer.
 
user728672
Investigative reporter wrote a book about the crime. But only touched lightly on what a BBS was..
 
7:13 PM
@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 we're hiring (couldn't resist)
he's as nice as ever :D
 
Back to wearing a mask I see Shadow?
The delta thing is spiraling out of control in Israel?

Anyone can edit the dupe list here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/173947/… to add the canonical in P.Mort's comment?
 
7:42 PM
hi Ayo
sdc coffee Ayo
 
@Luuklag brews a cup of Espresso for @Ayo
 
Rob
Bribes him with a virtual coffee.
 
@Rob Last time Ayo was offered a coffee he ran away. Could be because @ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 offered it ;) Let's see if things go better now :)
 
🍺
 
@KevinB Yeah looking at the time that might be the more appropriate drink ;)
 
Rob
7:51 PM
🥛🫖🥃 or 🍸
 
@Rob Is the first one supposed to be milk
 
Rob
Probably,what else?
Coconut milk?
 
I don't know, the colour of the drink collides with the background colour for me, so hard to distinguish
 
Rob
Apparently,one of the new things is:
Oat milk is a plant milk derived from whole oat (Avena spp.) grains by extracting the plant material with water. Oat milk has a creamy texture and oatmeal-like flavor, and is manufactured in various flavors, such as sweetened, unsweetened, vanilla or chocolate. Unlike other plant milks having origins as early as the 13th century, oat milk was developed in the 1990s by the Swedish scientist Rickard Öste. Over 2017–2019, oat milk sales in the United States increased 10 fold, and one major manufacturer, Oatly, reported a three-fold increase in worldwide sales. As of late 2020, the oat milk market...
But I doubt that's what Unicode had in mind.
 
There are dozens of "vegetable" milks, mostly attributed to hipsters and their cappuchino's
 
Rob
8:23 PM
It requires 1/8 the water during manufacture than almond milk: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
 
@Rob I don't find that very relevant. The largest benefit there is in having cattle is, is that it can convert "useless" grass into thing we humans can consume.
Raising cattle like we currently do is far from sustainable, but cattle certainly deserves a place in our food production system
As there is plenty of land that isn't suitable for growing arable crops, and we should ideally let be pasture, for example peatlands.
 
Rob
@Luuklag Talk about relevant .... Dairy cows eat oats not grass, beef cattle eat grass not oats, you don't milk beef cows: albertamilk.com/ask-dairy-farmer/…
 
Well that distinction is one of little need, they are all cows, yes one is bred to be efficient in one thing, and the other in another. But there are also breeds that are bred "multi-purpose".
Met een dubbeldoelras wordt een bepaald koeienras- of kippenras bedoeld dat speciaal geschikt is voor meerdere hoofdopbrengsten. == Dubbeldoelkoe == In vroeger jaren waren runderen vooral vleeskoeien die melk konden leveren. Doordat steeds meer op melkproductie is ingezet, is de kwaliteit van het rundvlees bij het fokken – bij die betreffende runderen – achter gebleven. Melkkoeien worden na hun melk-productieve leven geslacht. Omdat de kwaliteit van het vlees dan laag gewaardeerd wordt, zal het eenvoudig verwerkt worden door het grotendeels te vermalen. Kwaliteitsdelen worden er niet meer...
unfortunately only in dutch
 
 
@Feeds These are all the "rip-off" cities of their bigger counterparts?
 
8:36 PM
effectively
 
Rob
The city distinction is one of little need, they are all cites, and multipurpose. 🤣
 
Damn, this effect described here has a name, but I can't think of it anymore. edition.cnn.com/2021/06/23/business/coke-label-fail/…

Would they allow the label: Buy some Coke

Q: What does it mean 'to shoot oneself in the foot'?

WS2In the First World War soldiers in the trenches on both sides would sometimes give themselves a non-fatal wound ( intentionally shooting themselves in the foot, whilst making it appear as an accident, being a favourite). The purpose was to get themselves medically repatriated and out of the way o...

 
user728672
Over explanation defined.
 
Rob
The AD on the first CNN link.for the Alienware Aurora. !?
 
@RyanM Boaty mc Boatface comes to mind as well
I know I read a post, from Shog I think, on SE about installing a word filter, and they had a great name for something like this
 
a mistake
 
9:02 PM
hehe, nah something like the .... effect
where removing certain "offensive" words made the result hilariously wrong
like where there is a word that contains "shit" but is completely non-offensive, and then the shit gets trimmed out and garbage letters are left
or maybe the example was with "ass"
 
Rob
Politeness Man - PC gone astray.
 
9:44 PM
Hmmm curious. Losing my MSE cookie, also throws me out of chat. I needed to refresh the page to chat again

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Youtube?

okay im done. (ive been learnign some PS tricks
 
10:57 PM
@GWarner huh, good that he was caught.
@g3rv4 :D
 
@Luuklag I don't know what you're talking about; that name was amazing.
😛
 
@Luuklag yup. Some still cling to false hopes that it can be contained, but alas... it can't due to human nature. People don't obey the orders, don't go into self quarantine, so it will spread big time.
@GWarner yes, got some really old unlisted vids of my kids.
@GWarner those are some nice skills! lol
 
user728672

I got a adobe's free version of photoshop and never use it to full potential. thanks

user728672
oh here's a kicker.. i installed a 20+ year oldf software and registered it. shortyl later i got an email saying my account created in 99 is due to be deleted if i dont log into it.
 
user728672
is that a new way to get people to create accounts on websites associated with the software?
 
11:54 PM
this is no longer a dupe of this since the page is linked now; would it be a dupe of this instead?
