4:00 AM
I am eating right now, and I don't believe in Myths
 
myths don't believe in you either
 
@SabreTooth Not agreed.
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky skoro tak mówisz
 
@SabreTooth I will not answer you when you speak in such a manner :)
 
dude - your autoreply to lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/3613/… is way off the mark and hilarious
those statements were the "if you say so" in French, Swedish and Polish... Google Translate ftw
 
4:07 AM
@SabreTooth I do not get it. What did I say wrong?
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky "ask for a alternative or state methods already used" for male to female relationships?? seriously?
 
@SabreTooth I kind of saw the french one, because of my sparce background in spanish, but I have never been to poland or sweden.
@SabreTooth IDK. A life hack is about a alternative and this site wants you to write other methods used, I thought it was applicable
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky for relationships?
lol
 
@SabreTooth It may not be the best statement, but I think it helps.

Q: How do I clean my sticky floor after a party night?

pLooryI held a New Year's party at my home, and my house was left a mess, afterwards. There's dirt, glitter and sticky confetti all over the floor, as well as the remains of different drinks that were dropped. What's the best way to clean all that junk off of my floor? After three times of cleaning...

Why is there so much hate about this question?
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky if you wish to make a fool of yourself, sure
 
4:12 AM
@SabreTooth Its not that bad. It tells the criteria for a good question.
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky There's an ongoing Meta discussion on that question, here.
 
Hello @Shokhet! :)
 
Hello @darthnesscoveredthesky, @SabreTooth :)
 
@Shokhet Good update
 
I like the new picture, @SabreTooth. It's cute!
 
4:13 AM
@Shokhet Dogs are cuter ;)
 
hi @Shokhet just laughing about @darthnesscoveredthesky's autoreply here lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/3613/…... alternative methods for a question that has 'opinion' in the title and is about relationships and asks for an address...
@Shokhet fear me, I am the Sabre Tooth Kitten

@SabreTooth :)
@SabreTooth I just cast the fifth close vote for that question
 
@SabreTooth It wasn't a auto reply, I typed that up on the spot :)
 
Besides for being about relationships, it's also primarily opinion based, which is something that doesn't work so well on Stack Exchange sites. — Shokhet 11 secs ago
 
@Shokhet I don't agree :( How can it be opinion based?
 
4:17 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky From the question:
> I would love to know the thoughts of
> would you befriend, date.....
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky it says "opinion" in the title
 
that's opinion based
 
Ok, your right
 
@SabreTooth That too :)
@darthnesscoveredthesky I'm always right. (jk :P)
 
I hope we didn't run the user off :(
@Shokhet Then right is wrong :)
 
4:19 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky that should be "okay you're right"
 
@SabreTooth Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit; right?
.....saw that the other day on English.SE
 
I didn't know you could curse on SE!
 
@Shokhet that is awesome!
 
@SabreTooth :)
 
Somebody told me I couldn't, and that I had to spell it wrong. Are they wrong, I'm checking Meta
 
4:21 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky well, she stated 'opinion' in the title, was looking for relationship advice only and wanted an address.... yeah, that's totally legit...not!
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky English.SE is different in a lot of ways. When they're discussing language, a lot of times they have to use "curse words," because they're part of the language. The rest of SE runs on different rules.
 
curse words are in the English dictionary also
i think @darthnesscoveredthesky broke chat
 
Chat is back online!
@darthnesscoveredthesky The post you're looking for is here
@SabreTooth Were you also tweeting them? ....I think I saw your old avatar among those responding to @StackStatus.
 
yup!
there is a link to my twitter account on my profile
 
:)
I never saw that. I don't think I ever checked your profile.
 
4:36 AM
lol, you're in for a treat
 
You never got an answer to this one?
....it looks cool!
 
not yet, but will get one soon - either that, or I will answer it myself
 
Nice.
Btw, I saw the discussion in comments, there -- if you want to make sure you won't lose the [firenado] tag, add a tag wiki. One-question tags are deleted after a year.
 
oh there are bound to be more questions on that topic
 
the tag tells me that there's only one, now
 
4:40 AM
for now - I enjoy that site
 
It's been way too long since I've learned anything earth science; I thought it was cool, though.
 
its time to get learnin'!
 
:)
.....I consider myself more of a medical science kind of guy -- dad's a doc, and I'd like to be one, also
 
very cool!
 
I'm also a cyborg, which is almost certainly part of why I like medical science ;-)
 
4:45 AM
a cyborg eh? I am a reformed zombie!
 
Yup :) ....I wear an insulin pump and a CGM.
 
I have far too many scars
 
?
.....beard, etc?
 
I have a full bushy beard, but scars on my arms and legs
 
Maybe it was someone else....someone mentioned (around the time I posted my shaving question) that they grew a beard to cover scars? I thought that was you.
@SabreTooth If you don't mind my asking, what from? .....surely not earth science :P
 
4:51 AM
it was, I think, have scars on the face
@Shokhet different events - have been burnt, bitten, battered etc
 
Oy.
Re: scars from earth science:
....dangerous job, that
 
i once fell off a cliff
 
Really? ....how tall?
 
8 metres, landed in shallow water - pointy rocks did some damage to my arm
 
mental calculation: meter is about =3ft....8*3=24 Wow.
that's a pretty tall cliff
 
4:56 AM
yup, harness failed
 
....I jumped from a cliff about that high, into deep water, on a hike
....do you still rappel, or did that scare you off?
 
nothing scares me ;)
 
You are, after all, a Sabre Tooth kitten ;-)

@Shokhet fear me, I am the Sabre Tooth Kitten
 
indeed, fear me!
 
:)
 
4:59 AM
anyways I need to go to the shops
be back later
 
See ya. I should probably go to sleep soon.
 
 
8 hours later…
1:16 PM
a whole lot of meta posts, different scope statements, and changes in scope - very confusing site
 
1:56 PM
@SabreTooth ...and few things are a consensus.
 
2:18 PM
@Mooseman all pretty much why I decided to leave the site
 
@SabreTooth So many dupes, as well. Lifehacks is a finite topic.
 
i agree
if science hacks were on topic - it would considrably expanded the site (backyard and citizen science are growing fields)... but the upcoming engineering.SE probably could cover them
 
@SabreTooth Right. You can be an expert on gardening, but nobody is an expert on life.
 
that is spot on
and a simple fact, that what one person considers a hack, another could see as mainstream
 
@SabreTooth Then reviews become heavily opinion-based. Great!
 
2:32 PM
yup, that is what I am seeing
and how to answer is even more confusing
 
@SabreTooth If it's a bad question, you shouldn't answer it.
 
even answering the good ones is confusing

Q: Are purchasing questions Life Hacks?

Brian HI am having a healthy discussion over my question "What ways are there to maximize Gift Card values at Grocery Stores?", I want to improve it and also better understand the purpose of LifeHacks so I can ask better/concise questions in the future that are beneficial. I have read through quite a f...

 
7:30 PM
@MacGyver The answer is "no," but I can't write up a good reason, at the moment. What do you guys think?
 
@Shokhet Questions about price-shopping assistance are off-topic on most sites as they tend to become obsolete quickly. See blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/qa-is-hard-lets-go-shopping
 
@J.Musser That's part of it, right.....but I think there might be more to it.
 
@Shokhet Such as...?
 
@J.Musser POB, for one. Location is a major factor, as some commenters have noted.
....thinking of other things; there's probly one or two more
 
@Shokhet basically, ot.
 
7:37 PM
@J.Musser It's very off-topic, acc Zach's scope. I'm not sure if that's the one we're using, though. It might be on-topic with @Gilles' scope, though I doubt it.
 
@Shokhet Uh, how? I don't see that...
 
@J.Musser Which, first point or second?
....first point, it's not physical. Second, I'm less certain about.
 
@Shokhet Gilles.
 
@J.Musser I'm honestly not sure. That's part of why I pung him; I'd like to see what he has to say on the matter.
 
8:41 PM
@Shokhet which question are you talking about?
 
 
2 hours later…
10:13 PM
@Gilles The one mentioned in this meta, which started the conversation: lifehacks.stackexchange.com/q/3632/2090
 
@Shokhet lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/… is off-topic by my scope: it's looking for general solutions, not for hacks
Purchasing questions aren't automatically off-topic by my definition, but it might (or might not) be a good idea to specifically ban them
 
@Gilles Which ones would be on-topic?
 
“I have this gift card that expires tomorrow at a shop that sells <…>. Normally I plan ahead but now there's nothing I need or want to buy from this shop and it's too late to re-gift it to a friend. How can I get some value from the card anyway?”
not a very good question, but technically on-topic
 
10:35 PM
hm.....I dunno....
best way to get value would be to buy something and resell it on ebay or something
 
 
1 hour later…

@all: thoughts?
Meta comment: I think this counts as a hack, because I don't believe that most people know that these exist. — Shokhet 15 mins ago
(click timestamp for link to comment on main site)
 
saw, think it's fine
I know where to click ;)
 
I know you do, but I've had to explain it almost every time I've oneboxed a comment in this room -- that won't help you, but it'll help someone, I'm sure
 
ah. pretty straight forward tho imho
 
what, that answer?
 
no, clicking on the timestamp
 
11:40 PM
I know, but some people wouldn't figure it out if they weren't told.
 
Really?
What else do they think it would link to?
 
That is a very good question, but I've seen people (some in this room) who couldn't figure that out
 
I see.
 
(I don't know if they're in this room currently; I just remember the encounter in this room)
 
not that it matter...
got another email from se
 
11:43 PM
I don't even remember who it was; I just didn't want that person to feel like we were making fun of them or something; be nice and all
 
@Shokhet I'm always nice
 
@J.Musser I didn't say you weren't; if I did, I apologize
@J.Musser What'd it say? ....haven't checked my email recently
 
@Shokhet uh, just checked. Nothing major
@Shokhet Ha, no you didn't.
 
@J.Musser I didn't....apologize? call you mean? .....I can fix both right now, if you want ;-)
 
lolyah
 
11:49 PM
I gotta go; see ya around!
 
cya
