The Bridge

Good evening, Bridge

2:10 PM

@PrivatePansy Good morning.

Q: Where can I find meta activity stats now?

Previously, bringing up the activity drop down (hovering over your username) used to bring up activity statistics on individual site metas, specifically including information on the number of upvotes/downvotes your meta posts had received during that day/week/month: Since there is no activity ...

@kalina meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/users/profile-link-stats

Not the best solution...

A good morning in the afternoon is a positive message.

yesterday, by Arperum

@FEichinger I'm mostly curious as to who else then me is still starring that. I'm doing it mostly from habit now. And so at least one positive message is starred daily.

ACK, ponies! Ponies everywhere! burns with fire

2:17 PM

@Powerlord hides behind @kalina

boo

@Powerlord I see no ponies

Considering making an MLP community ad to stoke meta drama

OH NO I HAVE A NEGATIVELY VOTED POST ON MSO

*contemplates deleting*

Fluttershy

@boo Do it!

@PrivatePansy Maybe I'm OK with too many Pinky Pies.

2:19 PM

@Powerlord :O

Huh, apparently my bank credited my account with 4 cents of interest

@kalina No you don't

\o/

those two downvoters obviously didn't read the question before downvoting

since "it's on your profile page" is not the correct answer

@kalina *downvotes again*

@PrivatePansy :*(

2:19 PM

@kalina The reason you should delete it is because you posted on MSO in the first place. shudder

@Powerlord you're just bitter

I ONLY GO TO MSO FOR DRAMA

I only went to MSO for this, but I can't find my way out anymore

@kalina If you'd said that about Arqade Meta I'd get your point, but... MSO?

I'm only active on MSO at the moment to generate some distance between @3ventic and I before he passes me

2:23 PM

Massive phone

@BenBrocka I've never seen one that big before :O

My only recent MSO post turned out to be a completely justified questioning of using a beta product on SE's production environment.

@BenBrocka GROSS

I think it's THE biggest

@BenBrocka Nexus 7 is not a phone, though...

2:24 PM

taller than the note 3

@3ventic It's for scale, I mean the Oppo

my star bait failed

2

*sadface*

@BenBrocka According to the site my phone is still bigger

Sony Xperia Z Ultra, by a hair

@kalina That one worked

Also a lot thinner

@3ventic that... wasn't starbait

2:25 PM

@BenBrocka Yeah that is pretty big

@PrivatePansy thinner is not always a good thing

right, I get it

Took me too long to find the link for the "completely justified" text.

@boo isn't here

that's why they're not working

@kalina The thing does feel a little dangerously thin for something that big

@PrivatePansy Does this phone make my bezel look big?

2:26 PM

the bezel on the nexus 7 is a little large

I don't get it

@PrivatePansy The side image for the oppo is a stand-in

@kalina Once you hold one you get it. It's for your hands

phone bezel != tablet bezel, it's for horizontal holding

@BenBrocka It's thinner than the Note 3... or the iPhone 5s, for that matter

what's the battery life on a nexus 7 like if the screen is on all day

@BenBrocka In this case it's also designed for horizontal holding

@PrivatePansy Yeah the oppo is probably still thicker, but the side image isn't accurate

2:27 PM

@BenBrocka DEFINITELY BIGGER THAN MINE

all the starbait is failing

4

wait, what?

@kalina I dunno, comparable to a phone I think. 6 hours of video playtime allegedly, sounds about right

@PrivatePansy I'm a little heavy for what?

@kalina Because I wasn't here ... And now I'm on mobile.

@BenBrocka lol comparable to what phone, if I turn the screen on my phone on the battery dies

2:30 PM

@kalina comparable to a full charged phone with no background data, anyway

Let me say that again - it's thinner than the iPhone which has a screen half its area

@kalina For using a tablet as a bathroom scale

@PrivatePansy iPhone has less width to spread it's guts around in though

@PrivatePansy really? I could probably stand on my phone with no problems

ooooohhhhh @kalina are you gonna take that from him?

@kalina I... wouldn't recommend it

2:31 PM

@kalina I wouldn't recommend it, you won't have any way to dial 911 when it crunches

OR whatever weird british number you have

as long as there is no super curved back it should be ok

999 is the police emergency number

112

I like it when developers don't follow standard version numbering

@kalina The One? That would probably work, yeh.

112 is the emergency number here

@PRIVATEPANSY CAN'T STOP THINKING OF @KALINA'S FEISTY FORNICATION: DATA ACCEPTED

Do I impulse purchase a Nexus 7: Say YES or NO in the next 60 seconds to make my mind up

2:35 PM

Flip a coin

@kalina MAYBE

I am not two faced

@Yuki Die in a fire

@kalina It's pretty nice

I think some places have it for only $200 today

@BenBrocka INVALID ANSWER FORMAT

>>> Math.random() > .5
false

There, you have your answer

2:35 PM

FALSE != YES or NO

@kalina ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE IT APART?

screw you guys

>>> Math.random() > .5 ? 'YES' : 'NO'
"NO"

did you just run that a second time?

Math.random() > .5 ? "YES" : "NO"
"NO"

2:36 PM

or did you just edit it

Hax

ok RNG says no

Jinx!

@kalina @kalina WISHES TO PURSUE "FEISTY FORNICATION": DATA ACCEPTED

Blem

@kalina Thank you for offering, but I'm at work right now and don't have time

2:37 PM

@kalina NO, IT SAYS "NO" WITH QUOTES

@Yuki No I don't

@Blem Pervert

@OrigamiRobot Die

@Kalina - I like my Nexus. My kids like it. My wife does too. You may take that input as you wish. I'd suggest "YES"

ping all the @rory !

I like my Nexus, my family members keep stealing it from me, so I guess they like it too

My parents like their nexuses too, they have the 2012s though

2:37 PM

@kalina AWW, I LOVE YOU TOO, BUTTERSCOTCH!

@BenBrocka Nexii?

I have the 2013, good build quality, nice feel. Does what it does well but I don't use it much

Mine's a 2012

that's my fear

If I buy one, I probably won't use it much

I wouldn't have bought it, but it came from the Nexus Fairy

2:38 PM

I would actually use it at work

so that's okay

to chat

@kalina I'm here now

@RoryAlsop I wished they had a Nexus Fairy here too

I use my Nexus 7 as a webcam sometimes

2:38 PM

since I'm not allowed to create a firewall rule to let me rdp home

It even runs Citrix well enough I can use it for work. But I don't, because I like big computers with keyboards

@kalina WHY DO YOU NEED TO DO THAT?

@kalina but mobile chat is the worst

3VENTIC TAKES SELFIES WITH A NEXUS 7: DATA ACCEPTED

@kalina I didn't say I film myself with it

2:39 PM

But noooooooo, not even when Google has a office here does Google sell the device through its local store

:p

So instead I have to ship it here myself

@3ventic selfies != filming

webcam doesn't do selfies, it films

@kalina well, it's nicer to type on than a phone. But it's still no actual keyboard. Well, unless you get an actual keyboard

2:40 PM

well, that one doesn't anyway

@3ventic which is just 30 selfies per second

@BenBrocka In which case you might as well get a Chromebook

Hey, I've reached 100 in two stats!

@RedRiderX Neat, I'm coming close too

105 in Watchful, 95 in Persuasive and around 50 in the other two

@PrivatePansy A stranger has invited me into their handsome.

2:42 PM

@3ventic PRETTY SURE MOST WEBCAM SOFTWARE CAN TAKE STILLS

@OrigamiRobot is pretending to use autocad again

BOOKS OH GAWD I LOVE BOOKS

@OrigamiRobot and most computers can set fire to the house, it doesn't mean they do it, too

BOOKS ARE EXCELLENT FUEL FOR FIRES

ALL THE CAPSLOCK

2:43 PM

SHOUTING

I LOVE LAMP

NEEDS CAPSBLOCK

@3ventic YES BECAUSE THAT'S NOT INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY.

LOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDD NOIIISSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEES

@OrigamiRobot UNLESS YOU'RE AN ARSONIST

Oh my, what is this ruckus?

2:43 PM

ARRIVING IN STATION. LEAVING. STILL SHOUTING.

Constable, arrest these miscreants for disturbing the peace. I think my monocle just fell off.

@3ventic WHAT YOU DECIDE TO USE SOMETHING FOR DOES NOT DETERMINE ITS INTENDED FUNCTIONALITY

@PrivatePansy I'm almost tempted to replace my tablet PC with a chromebook at this point. All I really use it for is chrome in bed or in the kitchen

@OrigamiRobot UNLESS YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING THAT SOMETHING AND ITS FUNCTIONALITY

@OrigamiRobot I blame you for this shouting

2:46 PM

All I really use my tablet for is Youtube, SE and to play Battlefield 4

@3ventic WHY WOULD AN ARSONIST GO TO THE TROUBLE OF DESIGNING A COMPUTER TO... WAIT THAT'S NOT A TERRIBLE PLAN

BRB

@BenBrocka I'M OK WITH THAT

@OrigamiRobot Just wonder if an arsonist had designed all of the iPhones right now

and he decided to burn them all this instant.

@3ventic Honestly, it felt like an arsonist had designed the Galaxy S4.

I'M SUCH A TREND SETTER

@OrigamiRobot Arsonist designers are in now?

2:48 PM

@3ventic WELL, THAT'S NOT ARSON

Sterno

I should be playing Starbound right now.

@OrigamiRobot's Keyboard

@OrigamiRobot You're a terrible person and you should feel bad

Arson

Arson is the crime of intentionally and maliciously setting fire to buildings, wildland areas, vehicles or other property with the intent to cause damage. It may be distinguished from other causes such as spontaneous combustion and natural wildfires. Arson often involves fires deliberately set to the property of another or to one's own property as to collect insurance compensation. A person who commits this crime is called an arsonist. More often than not, arsonists use accelerants (such as gasoline or kerosene) to ignite, propel, and directionalize fires. Common law The elem...

Yes it is

> Arson often involves fires deliberately set to the property of another or to one's own property as to collect insurance compensation

2:49 PM

@3ventic Arson generally refers to setting fire to places of residence.

Buildings and physical locations, not items of property.

Also, the new vehicles acquired by the army comes with cigarette lighters. Despite the fact that smoking in vehicles has been prohibited since... well, since forever, really

@RedRiderX so many things wrong with that keyboard

@Yuki ANYTHING YOU COULD COLLECT INSURANCE ON

@BenBrocka Just so many.

2:50 PM

@OrigamiRobot phone = property

@3ventic YES, THAT'S NOT THE PART I'M TALKING ABOUT

IF THE IPHONE DESIGNER HAS INSURANCE POLICIES ON ALL THE IPHONES, THAT'S IMPRESSIVE

@OrigamiRobot The article goes further to clarify arson in the case of defrauding as: "Third-degree arson and the burning of any structure with an intent to defraud an insurer thereof."

Honestly, it depends on the wording of the law in each jurisdiction.

@OrigamiRobot IPHONES *twitch*

@BenBrocka They even use a different font for the big key.

@PrivatePansy DEAL WITH IT

2:51 PM

> deliberately set to the property of another OR to one's own property

the insurance only applies when setting fire to your own property

@3ventic YES, I KNOW, BUT IT'S NOT ARSON UNLESS YOU'RE DOING IT FOR INSURANCE

@3ventic NO IT DOESN'T

@RedRiderX I'm actually impressed they managed to make so many mistakes

@OrigamiRobot Uh... no.

It's... just so incredible...

2:53 PM

@OrigamiRobot That's third-degree arson.

> Arsonist - One who has committed the act of arson, or illegally setting fire to property.

No mention of insurance

Do you mean that setting fire to a building to kill someone isn't arson?

Last I checked, Arson didn't have to involve collecting insurance money... pretty sure that its legal definition is just burning down a building of some sort.

YES

What's with all the duplicated buttons?

2:54 PM

mmm fire

@Yuki Best arson defense

"Often" doesn't mean "always".

The transparency on the new top-bar is annoying

I DON'T CARE

the transparency on your face is annoying

2:56 PM

> The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines arson as any willful or malicious burning or attempting to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.

That's the legal definition of arson in the United States.

Oh it is transparent. But so barely I'm not sure why
