@HDE226868 I think I have one that people like and that is scalable, but currently there's some concern that it's too complex for patches. I disagree, but don't know enough about how patches are made to be sure

Q: No Youtube embedded videos here?

I tried to embed two YouTube videos in my answer, but they don't show. Don't these work here, or did I put in an invalid link?

on an unrelated note, I really like my new avatar.

Green

@DaaaahWhoosh How long did it take you to make?

DaaaahWhoosh

@Green dunno, maybe an hour. I'd saved most of the work from the Pride Month avatar, so I just applied new colors while watching SG-1

Green

@DaaaahWhoosh nice.

I think I might need a new avatar too.

DaaaahWhoosh

my current plan is to have a different variant for every season. This is the summer variant

Green

avatars are 256x256?

sphennings

16:48

@DaaaahWhoosh Rainbows are cool. I'm sad to see it go. Your current avatar is very worldlike and certainly fits this site.

Green

I'm going with 256x256 per meta.stackexchange.com/questions/169543/…

DaaaahWhoosh

@sphennings yeah, honestly I liked the rainbow avatar a lot more than I thought I would. Maybe I can modify it slightly to make it into my spring variant

@Green it is definitely 32x32 on questions, answers, and the right

strange, I don't think I've ever seen someone try to use a Minecraft block texture as their avatar, but it would totally fit

@sphennings are you ever going to get yourself an avatar? Or is the auto-generated one enough for you?

Secespitus

17:05

@DaaaahWhoosh auto-generated avatars are awesome

DaaaahWhoosh

eh, I was never a fan of mine. But maybe it's changed recently, let me check.

ewwwww, it's red. No thanks.

(no offense @Green)

Green

@DaaaahWhoosh None taken :)

My autogenerated avatar is a nice lavender. Not quite my color.

sphennings

@DaaaahWhoosh If there was a VTC icon I'd probably use that as my avatar.

I've noticed a pattern of my highly voted answers. They're all basically saying "That won't work." or "Humans tried that in the 60s. Since then we've improved our techniques to the point where that is obsolete."

Green

@DaaaahWhoosh Submitted a 32x32 and it appears to have been automatically upsampled. The hard edges in the image were really blurry.

@DaaaahWhoosh can you see blues?

DaaaahWhoosh

@Green oh yeah, I think my avatar is 8x what it appears, otherwise it does blur/complain.

@Green the only thing I can't see is green, sometimes. Or maybe it's red. I don't really know how to describe it, it's like that thing with the dress only more often

Green

17:16

@DaaaahWhoosh Gotcha.

Okay.....waiting for avatars to sync across SE domains.

DaaaahWhoosh

do you by any chance use Gravatar? I find that it's a nice surprise when I make an account somewhere and it finds my avatar for me

Green

@DaaaahWhoosh I don't. I'm not involved in enough communities to have made it worth it.

DaaaahWhoosh

lol so it's not in chat yet, but I see the new one, and I approve.

Green

Well, there's the blue gradient one but then I changed that one too to something that I think a lot of people will find very painful to think about.

DaaaahWhoosh

oh, in that case I have not yet seen it

Green

17:23

@DaaaahWhoosh Ha! Forgot to hit "Save Profile". Should update soon.

DaaaahWhoosh

it is a thermostat?

Green

It is and look at the temperatures indicated.

DaaaahWhoosh

the coldest?

I remember once when my sister was visiting she put the thermostat down to like 63 degrees, I think the AC nearly died

Green

17:48

@DaaaahWhoosh 63 when it was cold out or 63 in the summer?

DaaaahWhoosh

oh, in the summer

nowadays I keep it at 75 except at night, when it is at 73

but apparently that is not how she does things

AndyD273

@DaaaahWhoosh She must not pay for her own utilities?

63 is just too cold. If I have to put on a sweatshirt and socks in the house something isn't right

DaaaahWhoosh

yeah, maybe it was 65, either way I was very confused.

@AndyD273 buh... wha...aww...eh?

sphennings

When I was in Alaska we kept the thermostat set at 60-65 for the winter.

AndyD273

I was going to add that to my "fight a kitty army answer, but then I started thinking that it kind of undermines my point...

A: How to fight a kitty army?

Fight a meme with a meme. Since these aliens hold no power over you if you have a personal reason to fight them, then record (or create) images of these aliens destroying the things we love and flood the tubes with them. Every social network page should have an image of a cute alien doing somethi...
