You have two softwares in your disposal to help you: a detector and an antivirus. The detector always identifies...

@Adam Why do you think so?

Q: Welcome to my kitchen

Ak19Today I mixed some food products and saw interesting outcomes. Silverbeet + Gelatin $\equiv$ Snickers Lime + Nacho $\equiv$ Kiwi Sesame + Tea $\equiv$ Popcorn Can you find how these are possible?

 
@hexomino They registered very close to each other, they both have a similar profile and it is common for TanteMartina to post a question and Matti to answer it in a very short timeframe. Very interesting....
 
If you suspect foul play, please raise a custom moderator flag on one of their posts and explain your concerns there, instead of calling people out in public. Thanks!
 
@Mithrandir Ok, will do that next time. Didn't really know what to do in this circumstance. Shall I delete my comment then?

Q: Miss Toad and her frogs

MattiMiss toad owns a lot of frogs. These frogs are all looking the same, but they can be mad and nicely. If a mad frog is in a room with 3 nicely frogs, then he turns red, because he is ashamed. If a nicely frog is in a room with 3 mad frogs, then he also turns mad. For test purposes, miss toad p...

Q: A Not-So-Simple Connect Wall

XDVVI was making a connect wall, and I finished it late at night (2:00 am). I was glad and it was one of my hardest yet. However, as I took a sip from my coffee cup, I fell asleep and (I assume) coffee splashed onto my puzzle. I woke up at around 10:30, and noticed that coffee had covered the bottom...

Hi!
 
6:24 PM
Lo!
 
6:39 PM
And behold! It's a Gareth
 
A wild Gareth appeared!
 
(battle sequence music)
North sends out English!
 
nah, I'm quite calm
 
English fled in terror!
 
(gleeful tune)
 
6:43 PM
Trainer North is confused
 
Trainer North is also a tree
 
Go Rubio!
Rubio is asleep
 
I'm stumped
 
@Adam Harhar
North uses DietCoke
Rubio takes the diet coke and fled
 
@North I doubt it. Rubio never sleeps.
 
6:48 PM
ugh, please don't do that
 
Hehe sorry
Should I not post gifs?
Or just that specific one?
 
Well, this is just personal preference, not any kind of Official Moderator Command -- but I would rather not be faced with big ugly animations that I haven't explicitly asked my computer to display :-).
 
Okay, here's a non gif version of Rubio without that
 
For what it's worth, I share Gareth's preference here.
 
Well replace the knives with a coke bottle
Because I can't imagine Rubio carrying knives
 
6:51 PM
Hm.
 
Now if we're talking about Gareth that's a different story

Q: Professor Clark’s Precious Chemical Connections

UvcThey are primarily eight precious ones. Fill in the X s with appropriate letters to reveal all the 8 Precious Metals. Each X represents a letter. 1,5,7..vertical. 2,3,4,6,8..horizontal

 
@MOehm So I'm imagining something more like this:
The three diet cokes across his torso is his "technology"
Feb 28 at 0:20, by Rubio
as I say at work: I'm a sophisticated device for turning Diet Coke into questionable systems-architectural decisions.
 
@North Really? Because I thought he was more of a

Headcanon: the only reason he likes fizzy drinks is that the bubbles tell him if his glass is full or empty.

@Adam Ooh that’s good too. I don’t think Rubios that stingy though
 
A year and a half ago, I posted a picture to Meta Stack Exchange and offered a 50-point bounty to the first person to identify, in a comment on the post, all five books in the picture. Four have been identified. The offer is still open. In fact, in honor of my posting this here now, I'll up it temporarily to 100 points. The post is here:
Just for kicks: The first person to identify all five books in my photo in a single comment on this post will receive a 50-rep-point bounty from me if he or she has any answers that (a) I have the technical ability to post such a bounty on and (b) I don't find offensive. (The latter clause is unlikely to be triggered; I added it in just in case.) I'm the sole arbiter of who wins that challenge; terms and conditions apply; see store for details. — msh210 Dec 18 '17 at 0:23
(To save you time reading comments: The one that's unidentified to date is the one at about 1:00 on your clock dial in the picture, the colorful one with a girl.)

Q: 3D nonogram – Name the object

jafeThis is a 3D nonogram. The first five boxes represent the five layers of a $5\times5\times5$ cube, and the last box shows the enumerations for the Z-axis. (Note that 11 means two stretches of length one here, not one of length eleven.) To increase the difficulty somewhat, a few of the numbers ha...

 
Enjoy and good luck.

Q: I Don't Start the Fight

Nordii I don't start the fight -but I finish it. I take a side-view approach to it all. Yet when I work, the best will benefit. Just stay focused, drawn by my silent call. When I get up, everyone pursues me. When I lie down, I am still remembered. My presence is thrilling -to some degr...

Q: $6$ bishops and a knight on an infinite chessboard

GrešnikPlayer $A$ places $6$ bishops wherever he/she wants on the chessboard with infinite number of rows and columns. Player $B$ places one knight wherever he/she wants. Then $A$ makes a move, then $B$, and so on... The goal of $A$ is to checkmate $B$, that is, to attack knight of $B$ with bishop in ...

 
10:42 PM
@North what is this I can’t even
 
11:08 PM
@Rubio It’s my love and appreciation for all your hard work in PSE
 
@North I’m touched. No. Really. (Hehe)
At least you got the right drink unlike that Adam fellow
 
@Rubio Watch out! It can strike at any moment!
 
For the record, Diet Pepsi is swill. I'm a mod. Fight me. ;) — Rubio ♦ Jun 1 at 1:59
(I know yours wasn’t diet but still)
 
11:26 PM
Ok then
 
11:38 PM
Haha
 
11:50 PM
I don't normally like to weigh in on things that involve personal preference because people can like whatever they want to like, but in the specific case of soft drinks it's an objective truth that: ... > coke > pepsi > ... > crab juice > diet anything.
 
Rubio's hierarchy of needs: chocolate > diet coke > physiological > safety > love/belonging > puzzles.stackexchange.com > esteem > self-actualization.
burritos and brownies factor in there somewhere. probably Linux too. I'm not entirely clear where.
