2:00 AM
@SAJ14SAJ High quality? The 6qt one set me back $25 or so...
The crappier ones I've used (which, incidentally, cost more...) ran hotter.
@Jefromi Probably because there isn't rep on meta (other than meta.SO, and you can have bounties on meta.SO)
 
2:43 AM
@derobert Yeah, I know, it makes sense. I just was hoping to bribe the devs to implement my feature request!
 
 
5 hours later…
7:41 AM
@Jefromi This new "mike kemsky" user is spewing misinformation and garbage across a lot of questions.... not sure there is anything that can be done, but perhaps it bears close watching. I already spent 5 rep down voting his answers.
 
 
4 hours later…
11:55 AM
Happy Wednesday everyone.

1:48 PM
I think voting is the right thing for now; he'll either calm down and only post real things, or see how his answers are being received and give up, in all likelihood.
 
2:00 PM
@Jefromi Yeah, that Alaska one was one of the first things I read, but I didn't think it was clear enough to stand alone, so I kept looking. Plus, they have those scary giant cabbages.
 
 
1 hour later…
3:20 PM
@SAJ14SAJ Just remember not to go to his user page, visit all his answers, and downvote them all. The automatic serial downvoting algorithm will probably throw out your votes then.
@Jefromi You could migrate it to meta.SO, then you could put a bounty on it (assuming you have rep there)
 
howdy y'all
 
3:47 PM
@ElendilTheTall hey
@derobert I wouldn't do that. I downvote each answer on its individual terrible quality. Now, encouring you to go downvote them as your conscience dictates, that would be wrong :-)
 
@ElendilTheTall What is new in far away England?
 
Maggie Thatcher copped it
 
The end of an era? Regan and Thatcher are both gone....
 
boo. hoo.
 
4:01 PM
I cannot bring myself to... well... care.
 
Who was it again that began deregulating the financial markets?
 
4:22 PM
@Cerberus indeed
 
Not that she was the only one.
It happened here too.

6:07 PM
Hi
 
6:19 PM
@mien hi
 
Hi @ElendilTheTall how're things?
 
6:36 PM
@Cerberus The Illuminati, obviously.
 
Haha.
Who else?
 
@Sobachatina naw bad
you?
 
6:52 PM
Doing well.
 
good show
 
Just started watching Dr. Who.
 
good grief, why?
 
It was recommended.
 
by an enemy of yours?
 
6:55 PM
The only reason I mention it to you is because I think you might find it interesting what windows I get into British culture.
 
I don't understand the fuss over it
 
Are you wearing your anthropologist's glasses?
 
it is low budget crap AFAIC
 
I have never seen it.
 
Despite Maggie Smith's incomparable acting I couldn't tolerate much of Downton Abbey.
 
6:56 PM
And a low budget doesn't mean much...
 
@ElendilTheTall Definitely low budget and sometimes crap. Extremely campy.
 
@Sobachatina Why not?
It is a bit of a soap...
But...
 
I've found I watch it just for the Doctor's dialog.
The other characters don't usually interest me.
Sherlock was phenomenal.
 
@Sobachatina In Downton?
 
And I think that about covers the BBC shows I watch.
 
6:57 PM
I found it extremely addictive.
 
Oh- that and anything with David Attenborough- but documentaries don't really teach me anything about British culture.
 
Game of Thrones doesn't teach me anything about American culture either.
 
try and find Brian Cox's shows as well
 
@Cerberus In Dr Who. None of the characters interested me in Downton.
 
not the Scots actor, the English physicist
 
6:58 PM
It is the same as Downton: very addictive, but not actually really good.
 
@Cerberus That's not set in the US. Or on Earth for that matter.
 
No?
Then I must revise my image of American society.
 
game of thrones has the advantage of having a high proportion of good looking British women wearing very little
 
And Dutch women!
 
Emilia Clarke is very nice
which one's dutch?
 
7:01 PM
This is from Black Book btw.
 
I don't recognise her
 
oh yes
I still think Emilia is nicer
 
Not bad.
No colour?
 
@Cerberus You like darker women?
Or just polychromatic women?
 
7:04 PM
or lena headey
 
@Sobachatina Haha. You might have noticed Carice isn't exactly black either.
@ElendilTheTall Not bad...but Carice has a certain...sparkle.
 
I knew talking about food couldn't last.
 
sorry
erm... beef
 
Sorry.
 
7:07 PM
@Cerberus that's a nice shot
 
@ElendilTheTall ! You don't talk about women like that!
@ElendilTheTall A bit airbrushed...but then so were your women.
 
that's a heinous lie
my women are all as pure as the driven snow
 
Suuure.
 
none of your Dutch trickery
I do like redheads
 
I knew it.
 
7:09 PM
but none of them compare to Christina Hendricks
I'm aware Hendricks is a dutch name
 
What's wrong with you all? This one is much better looking:
 
look at the flanges on that!
 
and this one, too!
 
eww, pervert
 
@ElendilTheTall What the...
@derobert Hahaha.
You know there are differently shaped mushrooms...
 
7:16 PM
@Cerberus have you not seen Mad Men
 
Nope.
I haven't seen pink elephants either.
Not today.
 
@Cerberus Indeed! Some look like this:
... some even eat children.
 
Hawt.
Is that you?
Your brother being a redhead too...
 
Nah, these are random images I grabbed from Google, to avoid giving myself away to @Mien.
 
what do y'all think of this shot
 
7:21 PM
@ElendilTheTall Whatever it is, Google has never seen it before.
 
that's because it's my shot
I know what it is, it's a carving in a ceiling
 
Nice!
Is it...old?
Pre-19th-century?
It properly eats its own tail.
 
actually turn of the century
1900
I think
 
Cool.
 
I am going through old photos and processing them with my shiny new software
 
7:29 PM
@ElendilTheTall Or Firefly!
 
I haven't seen Firefly
 
Wow. You should. You really should.
 
pet peeve of the day
people mixing up 'bought' and 'brought'
'I bought this with me'
no you bloody didn't, you brought it!
bRing, bRought, GET IT?
<breathes>
 
7:55 PM
Typo?
@ElendilTheTall Great! Where is that?
 
8:09 PM
No, no typo. I've seen the mix up a lot.
 
@Cerberus Edinburgh
it's Edinburgh Castle
@Cerberus it's something you hear rather than read
 
Really?
 
really what
 
What.
 
8:27 PM
you said "really?"
 
8:40 PM
Yeah I meant, do you really hear that?
I don't remember hearing that. Not that I doubt your experience.
 
Wow. This is like a three stooges routine.
Except there's only two of you.
Abbot and Costello then?
 
We're good, aren't we?
 
Hilarious!
