Ok, you people oneboxing from sexuality.se need to knock off teasing those of us who are not in the private beta

Peter Grace

@TomOConnor Funny, but, I had to hit delete.

Tom O'Connor

Boooooring.

tombull89

@Aaron want an invite?

Grace Note

@TomOConnor Always possible to just create one

tombull89

9:00 PM

yeah...as I said. gonna be interesting.

Aaron

@tombull89 - I don't know, do I?

Tom O'Connor

Bugger me. There is one. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/2190/sexuality

voretaq7

@PeterGrace I have mixed feelings about it -- Personally like I said I don't care, but I can see a lot of people wanting to bury that profile (especially if job-hunting and/or using the Careers site)

Tom O'Connor

No pun intended.

@voretaq7 Depends on the job.

Aaron

@TomOConnor I C WHAT U DID THERE

voretaq7

9:01 PM

@TomOConnor so you meant it literally then? :P

(our collective maturity level: 12 years old)

Tom O'Connor

haha

WesleyDavid

@MikeyB A Satanist and a Kitteh walk into a sex chat...

Tom O'Connor

This is totally taking my mind off the fact that my housemate has picked up someone from Grindr and is, as we speak, bonking them in their room.

WesleyDavid

(Finish that joke)

voretaq7

In honor of Sexuality getting into Beta, I give you Fascinating Aïda:

9:02 PM

How long will it be before someone posts a question about gumbeling on sexuality.SE?

Rebecca Chernoff

@PeterGrace now why would I ever do that? (:

voretaq7

(I'm pretty sure that video is safe for work by most standards)

Peter Grace

@RebeccaChernoff "Iron Maiden of Micro-Center", now.

Rebecca Chernoff

lol

WesleyDavid

@MikeyB Go there right now and find out

voretaq7

9:03 PM

@RebeccaChernoff Boredom, Hunger, The joy the other employees get from watching you chase @PeterGrace around with a keyboard...

Aaron

@MikeyB no, I don't want to know what that is

MikeyB

@Aaron chat.stackexchange.com/search?q=gumbeling&room=127

Aaron

Also today on the list of things I did not expect to know by the end of the day: what grindr is

Rebecca Chernoff

@voretaq7 shhhhhhhh q:

Peter Grace

I can't wait to buy @Rebecca a beer at the next get together.

Hopefully if she's intoxicated I have a chance to escape before she comes after me with the banhammer.

WesleyDavid

9:06 PM

@PeterGrace I was totally expecting a different word to end that sentence than "banhammer"

Rebecca Chernoff

Careful, I can hold my liquor. (:

WesleyDavid

Nope, nope. I can't do that to Erik.

Not... yet...

voretaq7

@RebeccaChernoff that's nice, how do you do once you've consumed it though? :)

Rebecca Chernoff

harumph.

Tom O'Connor

@WesleyDavid Ohh. I get the name now.

voretaq7

9:09 PM

I started asking that in college when people would assure me they could "hold their liquor" then barf all over halfway though the night.

Tom O'Connor

/me facepalm

Rebecca Chernoff

you know what I meant >_<

tombull89

I wanted to play Minecraft this evening and build the gate I got as an answer to a question I posted last night. But no. You had to distract me.

voretaq7

@RebeccaChernoff and you know this is the context-free room!

Rebecca Chernoff

@Rebecca what, no "oy?"

@voretaq7 Achievement Unlocked: Russian Liquor Tolerance

Tom O'Connor

Question more for @RebeccaChernoff and @PeterGrace, but has anyone ever considered a medical questions SE site?

or is it a massive legal greyzone that nobody wants to deal with?

WesleyDavid

@TomOConnor Only if I get to write the disclaimer.

Peter Grace

@TomOconnor check area51 maybe? area51.stackexchange.com

Tom O'Connor

Is this so niche we can't handle it on SF? area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6433/healthcare-it

WesleyDavid

9:15 PM

@TomOConnor EMR and EHS FTW!

voretaq7

@WesleyDavid Achievement Unlocked. And by "Achievement" I mean "The liquor cabinet".

Tom O'Connor

somewhere between area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6160/health and area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/3964/medicine i suppose.

voretaq7

@TomOConnor the EMR part, yeah

Tom O'Connor

What do EMR and EHS stand for?

MikeyB

What's the name of that internet backup service (like backblaze) that supports Linux as well?

WesleyDavid

9:17 PM

@MikeyB I know JungleDisk does

Tom O'Connor

@MikeyB Spideroak?

AdrianK

@WesleyDavid We do a bunch of that here. I could see a lot of that stuff being on programmers or DBA too, depending.

voretaq7

EMR = Electronic Medical Records (like GE Centricity or OpenEMR)
EHS = Electronic Healthcare Systems (Like that fancy MRI that puts results directly into Centricity, or my company's product)

Tom O'Connor

I tell you. I'm sure my health generally declined when Dominos started doing online orders and Paypal.

AdrianK

@voretaq7 We just hired an EHR specialist about a month ago.

voretaq7

9:19 PM

Dominos takes PAYPAL???
What the ACTUAL FUCK - that's it. the world is over.

Grace Note

@TomOConnor There's probably a proposal on Area 51 (excepting the Healthcare IT site you already found)

MikeyB

@TomOConnor There was another one I was looking at that gives you free backup where your data goes to your friends and family also running the client, plus a paid service for them storing your data.

Tom O'Connor

Dropbox?

MikeyB

@TomOConnor Ew no

Found it - crashplan.

Tom O'Connor

Oh god. The rhythmic thumping. He must be listening to dubstep at the same time.

WesleyDavid

9:24 PM

@TomOConnor Sex.SE is that way --->

MDMarra

Anyone have a keurig and like hot chocolate?

MikeyB

@MDMarra Oh yeah baby

Iain

If I leave a comment on an answer, then flag it for something and the flag gets actioned (post deleted) does the OP of the post get to see my comment ?

MDMarra

@MikeyB fatwallet.com/forums/free-stuff/1160573

Hmm... Dubstep.SE?

Peter Grace

9:26 PM

I CANNOT UPVOTE IT ENOUGH

MDMarra

@MikeyB You have to "Like" them on Facebook which is pretty lame, but free hot milk chocolate k-cups will make me do anything

Peter Grace

I really have a problem with dubstep. It sounds like aphex twin with a stuck sampler.

WesleyDavid

@PeterGrace You say that like it's a bad thing.

Peter Grace

It's just... It's been done before.

Why is it suddenly the "new hotness"

WesleyDavid

@PeterGrace Because WUBWUBWUB!!

Dubstep Santa was hilarious in '09

MikeyB

9:30 PM

@MDMarra Booooo! US residents only.

MDMarra

Sorry, didn't see that

I was in a trance when I sold my soul

WesleyDavid

@MikeyB Stop being Canadian, you prescription drug hoarding [censored for Rebs' sake]

Rebecca Chernoff

@PeterGrace gotta keep y'all on your toes (:

WesleyDavid

Oh, hi @RebeccaChernoff - didn't know you were still here...

<_<

Rebecca Chernoff

I wasn't.

But now I am.

Peter Grace

9:31 PM

@Rebecca is omnipresent, fyi.

AdrianK

For the benefit of those of us living under a suburban rock, WTF is Dubstep?

WesleyDavid

I'll just... be... getting back to work...

/fleas

Rebecca Chernoff

I walked to the post office. (:

Peter Grace

@AdrianK it's a genre of music that focuses on downtempo sliding/voobing sound effects.

@AdrianK Are you a fan of any kind of electrica?

WesleyDavid

@AdrianK Listen to Dubstep Santa

AdrianK

9:32 PM

@PeterGrace Moby's about as close as I get. I liked Southside and much of his album Play.

WesleyDavid

@AdrianK And listen to the Going Quantum podcast: youtube.com/user/goingquantum/featured

@AdrianK Here's one of my favorite dubstep songs. It's an easy entrance to the genre:

MikeyB

I'm starting to regret putting all these firmware update blobs into git....

Basil

ron paul is scary

WesleyDavid

@AdrianK And lastly, search "Joker and Ginz" on Youtube or somewhere.

AdrianK

9:34 PM

@Basil You just noticed that the entire GOP is a freakshow, eh? And I was voting Republican as recently as 2003.

Peter Grace

I have trouble considering Moby electronica.

MikeyB

@Basil twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23SpreadingSantorum

AdrianK

@PeterGrace Wierd. I thought he kinda helped define what it was.

voretaq7

@PeterGrace I have trouble listening to Moby and not hearing Eminem's "Slim Shady" in the back of my head.

Peter Grace

@AdrianK that'd be Kraftwerk.

Though really, all genres are blurred lines

Kraftwerk got inspiration in jazz and other areas

Basil

9:35 PM

I just saw digg explode with ronpaulism a few years ago and assumed that he was pro internet, and other than that, served as a way to get the crazy left to vote republican

AdrianK

@PeterGrace Ah, they're a bridge too far for me. My last GF really liked those guys, but I never really grasped it.

Peter Grace

@WesleyDavid this "Trust Nobody" is pretty good.

Basil

then I realized that I'm canadian and stopped thinking about it until just now

voretaq7

@PeterGrace where do you consider Daft Punk?

Peter Grace

Now that's kind of tough.

Basil

9:36 PM

►

Peter Grace

I think they've translated as they've grown as a group

WesleyDavid

@PeterGrace Yeah, it's not the "SO FILTHY I HAVE TO BATHE IN RAW SEWAGE TO GET CLEAN" style dubstep. More accessible. Joker and Ginz are also more cerebral dubstep IMO.

Basil

Dubstep solves everything

Peter Grace

"Around the world" was more electronica than pop, I'd say. But stuff like One More Time was definitely poppy.

TRON 2's soundtrack was more electronica than pop, I'd say.

voretaq7

@PeterGrace I don't care what anyone says, I liked Tron 2!

Peter Grace

9:38 PM

Tron 2 was an AMAZING music video for Daft Punk.

Tom O'Connor

uh oh. Pizza man knows me by name now :P

voretaq7

@PeterGrace 's probably why I liked it.

►

AdrianK

Wow. I can actually feel the cones in my headphones vibrate. damn. =D

voretaq7

@AdrianK Try gel ear cups?

Peter Grace

WUBWUBWUB DUWWUWUWUWUWUW WUB WUB WUB WUB

AdrianK

9:41 PM

@voretaq7 dunno what those are. But this is where I have to admit I run crappy Maxell noise-cancelling headphones. Someday I'll be able to afford the good stuff.

WesleyDavid

@PeterGrace Oh! Oh! Try the artist "Distance" - it's dubstep but just different than most purists. myspace.com/djdistancedub

voretaq7

@Basil I just want to point out that every woman I know would have either (a) maced him, (b) punched him in the groin when he got all up on the bench, or (c) a, followed by b.

AdrianK

The wubwub part sounds like they're juggling lightsabers in some kind of wierd George Lucas Star-Wars music video.

WesleyDavid

Oh, and the video for "Falling" is fun to watch.

voretaq7

@AdrianK mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/1135

(they're technically for aviation headsets, but they fit high-end studio headphones too :)

((which is why my good headphones have the gel seals and my headset still has the shit foam ones it came with. :-/))

Bart Silverstrim

9:44 PM

I can't get into the sex stack. :-(

MikeyB

@BartSilverstrim orgyfail

WesleyDavid

@BartSilverstrim Wait, so did we really just come full circle and make an Expert-Sexchange site?

2

Oh wait, no hyphen. We're ExpertSexchange.

Bart Silverstrim

No, just sexchange.

WesleyDavid

I see it now.

AdrianK

So want to star that one but can't quite do it.

Bart Silverstrim

9:46 PM

SExchange.

WesleyDavid

@BartSilverstrim Great logo making possibilities.

Bart Silverstrim

Up above I thought that video link had Santa stepping on "assline."

WesleyDavid

@BartSilverstrim Yeah, that's over at Fetishes.StackExchange

Bart Silverstrim

...how do you decide what to migrate from sexuality to fetishes?

How long before a blueline comes in and chastises me for discussing a sex site after getting pissy about the meta question?

WesleyDavid

@BartSilverstrim Wait, you got dinged for ameta discussion?

Peter Grace

9:48 PM

I don't think that'll happen. Everyone's chatting about it, everywhere.

voretaq7

@BartSilverstrim what meta question now?

Bart Silverstrim

I didn't get dinged yet. I had a downvote, but oh well.

Peter Grace

I think this is as close as StackExchange has become to being "atitter"

Bart Silverstrim

@voretaq7 You already knew about it. You kept answering it like a stutterer on meth.

RE: area 51 NSFW thing - Of course, it depends on the domain decided for it. HankyPanky.Se or Shagoverflow would probably cause a bit more offense.

voretaq7

9:49 PM

also speaking of meta questions, meta.serverfault.com/questions/2576/… <- good idea or bad idea?

Bart Silverstrim

I got peeved at some idgit named kekekekekekeke

voretaq7

@tombull89 Better a shagoverflow than a shagunderflow...

Bart Silverstrim

Apparently a bad idea. It done got closed.

voretaq7

@BartSilverstrim "Meth addict! Crack is for losers!"

Bart Silverstrim

I thought meth was the trailer park drug while crack was for the rich and famous.

voretaq7

9:50 PM

@BartSilverstrim I'm not sure. I think it's a good idea personally & threw a reopen on it

Iain

@voretaq7 don't use a hammer to whack screws in - use the tools as they are intended

Bart Silverstrim

I think it's a good idea to reopen it each year.

WesleyDavid

@BartSilverstrim Every time he tries to communicate with you, just reply in all caps ZERG RUSH!!!

Bart Silverstrim

The site keeps evolving, growing, situation changes...

why keep asking the same damn questions each time?

voretaq7

@Iain Like I said in my comment, normally I agree, but in this case we're trying to drive a nail with a screwgun :)

Bart Silverstrim

9:52 PM

@wesleydavid - kekekekeke? Shrug I'm not quite as irritated as I was right at the moment. I generally feel like Meta is where angry people go to get their pissy on.

AdrianK

@voretaq7 Crack is more urban. It's far more common than Meth amongst our clients.

voretaq7

unless we're going to start election-2012 & election-candidate-questions

Bart Silverstrim

You know, this place is kind of like a sensitivity training center for aspergians. People working with homeless and drug addicts, people working with schools, people who have same-gender sexual relations and relations with socks...we learn to be a little more careful about what we say with our friends here.

WesleyDavid

Bart Silverstrim

Well, if you're friends. That's a little presumptuous, I suppose.

At least I find it a little handy nevertheless.

Iain

9:54 PM

@voretaq7 I'd rather just ask questions normally rather than have to jump through hoops to try and keep individual answers within one answer or whatever

Bart Silverstrim

@Iain: aren't you running for moderator?

Iain

yep

Zoredache

Since the post is community wiki, why couldn't people just update the post to include any questions, and then have one-answer per candidate?

Bart Silverstrim

So...you're trying to not get voretaq's vote, right? I don't know what it's like on your side of the pond, but in Amurrica, we learn to pander for votes.

Because then we wouldn't have a historical snapshot as a per-year thing. Silly zoredache.

Iain

@BartSilverstrim I am what I am and that's the way I feel about it

Ward

9:56 PM

No one needs to pander. Iain should get everyone's vote, you could practically pick at random from the next 6 or 7 best qualified.

Iain

we have a great q&a system we should use it in the way it was intended

Bart Silverstrim

Lesson number two, we lie for votes. Being honest just gets you in trouble.

Ward

One question per question, tag them with moderator-election if you want to be able to find them quickly.

Iain

@BartSilverstrim I'm aware of the consequences of your second sentence

Bart Silverstrim

:-)

Reading that question with vore & Iain made me want to post a question like, "Why should I vote for <xyz>?" and repeat for each candidate. :-)

voretaq7

9:59 PM

That's the way we did it last year. @Iain has a valid point about using the Q&A functionality of the site to ask questions and get answers, I'm just not thrilled about having to scan through the tag cleanup and other traffic to find the questions.

If we start tagging everything with [tag:election] [tag:election-2012] [tag:candidate-questions] I'll have less of an objection though.

@BartSilverstrim The questions/answers should definitely be community wiki.

(not that meta rep counts for anything anyway)

Iain

@voretaq7 there are only 13 posts tagged election anyways - how hard can it be to sort them with the newest tab ?

voretaq7

@Iain not hard at all, but if we're going to be using the tag extensively separating by year (& calling out candidate questions) makes sense to me.

Also it's 13 this year. figure 25 next year, 40 after that...

I may just go through and add year tags to everything tonight - it probably is the Right Solution.

Bart Silverstrim

...and this was the first sign that Voretaq7 went insane.

voretaq7

@BartSilverstrim ...No it wasn't!

You missed the bowling with severed heads.

Shads0

@voretaq7 ummm...fire?

Bart Silverstrim

10:14 PM

You are so not allowed in my basement.

voretaq7

@Shads0 out of a cannon, into the sun?

Shads0

NO

voretaq7

@Shads0 also you renamed yourself to Shads0 again? No longer shamed by your chat history? :)

Shads0

Didn't do that on purpose. Must've been something with the mod thing, though I'm still TylerShads on SE and SF

voretaq7

@Shads0 It must involve kittens.

Iain

10:16 PM

@BartSilverstrim that would have been some time ago surely ...

TylerShads

There we go

aww, but I don't look like I'm blue

but I still have my powers

UNLIMITED POWAHHHHHHHH

Oh wow thats odd

by making SF my 'primary profile' I can't rejoin TL

Iain

TL ?

TylerShads

Teacher's Lounge

Bart Silverstrim

HAHA! The Ewoks are all dead! theforce.net/swtc/holocaust.html

Iain

@BartSilverstrim then they eventually find the Higgs Boson, as it's a field then the force will exist

Zoredache

10:28 PM

@BartSilverstrim my question is, how could life be sustained on the Moon of Endor in the first place? Wouldn't a moon like that have the same radiation problems has the moons around Jupiter?

Why doesn't that article address any of the gravitational effects of Endor itself? Surely it would have some impact on what happened as well.

Bart Silverstrim

@iain: are you implying the Force doesn't exist?

I hope you know I'm force choking you right now. You should feel it right about now.

Iain

@BartSilverstrim no, I believe the standard model will prevail

voretaq7

@Shads0 probably because your "primary" account isn't a mod?
