@GayotFow Is that related to the refugee emergency?

Or am I reading too much into it?

@GayotFow we're totally in a position to turn away questions

we've been doing it very well for four years, and growing logically and still rapidly

@GayotFow nice work on contacting re portuguese visa

@JoErNanO Yes, a presentation to the stakeholders

@MarkMayo That was addressed to somebody else

@Ulkoma personally, I liked a lot of your questions, and judging by past people who complain and say bye, you'll likely return, so hopefully you'll see this. I've posted some bizarre ones back in the day myself, and sometimes it's fun and sometimes to learn, like you said.

You mentioned you'd learned a lot on the security one. That's cool. A lot of your questions here were educational too - passport ones, ID for children etc.

@JoErNanO nice work on application-status

very alert

Mark Mayo

I think what upset some people was the types of responses you gave to people answering/commenting on the ice-cream question, and after that, you seemed to change a bit.

Made it seem, I guess, more like 'trolling' (some were calling it). Shrug. I answered the ice-cream one, and you accepted my answer, happily.

While you want others to be civil to you (and I don't think everyone was, the unexplained downvotes on your questions are unfortunate), lines like "fix the system or bow down to me" - eh, it doesn't come off very well. Civility goes both ways.

Anyway, hope to see you back, I like interesting (on topic) questions.

@MarkMayo I am the 5th highest close voter on the site. So perhaps I might be in a position to offer perspective on the topic

A very interesting set of photos about the weekly amount of food for selected countries around the world (poor and rich) and total cost of that: facebook.com/media/set/…

it is in arabic, but not hard to get which country is it or how much does that weekly supply cost.

Chad: $1.23 weekly

Norway: $731 weekly.. check the rest of the photos.. so interesting!

@NeanDerThal nice exhibit

A: Free street parking options for unlimited time in Bratislava?

@jmac @NormalHuman The Chinese spammers are back.

JonathanReez

Bratislava's municipal parking company provides a map of the resident-only parking zone. Parking there generally requires either a resident's permit (which you obviously won't have) or an hourly fee. ] Therefore your best bet is to park a little bit to the west of the UFO bridge, where the resi...

@JoErNanO I can't see any flags?

@JonathanReez v nice +1

@GayotFow No, this is a different group. You had Chinese diploma spam earlier; this is Korean.

Informally, this strain is known as "bamwar".

@NormalHuman I thought it was Korean as well

(So called because of some domain names they pitch; even though this particular one has another site).

Ach sorry for the misinterpretation.

@AnkurBanerjee I guess they were automatically dismissed as helpful when the post got 6 spam flags and was auto-deleted.

@AnkurBanerjee I was referring to that one flagged by Gayot. The folks who helped us a couple days ago asked us to forward relevant information to them.

4:50 PM

This one is not as scary because they are usually not hammering your site with dozens of posts.

Yes it seems to be quiet

They are more into width, with one user posting spam on several sites: stackexchange.com/users/6901852/chum7?tab=accounts

The Chinese diploma spam sets its aim on one site and just keeps on going...

I destroyed that chum7 account on our site

Any movie lovers know any move about the "Wow! signal"?

@NeanDerThal Can you clarify? 'Unclear what you're asking"

1 hour later…

@GayotFow here:

Wow! signal

The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while he was working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University, then located at Ohio Wesleyan University's Perkins Observatory in Delaware, Ohio. The signal bore the expected hallmarks of non-terrestrial and non-Solar System origin. The signal appears to have come from the northwest of the globular cluster of M55 in the constellation Sagittarius, near the Chi Sagittarii star group. The entire signal sequence lasted for the full 72-second window that Big Ear was...

@NeanDerThal yeah, I know about that part, but you were asking about a movie, no?

8:12 PM

@GayotFow yes, any movies about this?

whether sci-fi or documentaries..

No. There nearest movie is "Contact" from about 1999 or so. It has never been touched in a documentary I've seen. And that means LOTS of them

8:24 PM

I didn't watch this one........

topdocumentaryfilms.com/through-the-wormhole-are-we-alone

but I have it stored :)

Of all the signals received in the search for intelligent extraterrestrials, the Wow! signal is one that many people remember. And Jerry Ehman was the man who wrote it. Ehman taught astronomy and electrical engineering at Ohio State University and worked on early projects for Big Ear, a radio telescope at the university.
