@Mithrandir24601 Isn't there supposed to be something to do with Monkey Lords in there?
Also "High Priest of Glarnak"
"Monkey Lord of Fire and Hammers, Icosahedrons and Sarcasm. Prophet of Glarnak and benevolent dictator for life. First of his name." Is his title on the monkeylords site.
I'm wondering, would it be okay for me to ask about real-world religion on this site? I'm not asking about how it was made, but rather its functions in the real world. I can see that this might depend a little on the question itself, so I'll show my question.

One is compensating for one's digression from one's normal standards of attire by attempting the use of a wider and more varied selection of vocabulary in one's conversations.
It just occurred to me that this user might make a great mod, because he's a mod on PoliticsSE, and if you can moderate there, you can moderate anywhere.
Idk, I generally don't think users with less than 10 questions are useful mods on the site; but that's me
to me writing questions on WB, especially some that are well received, show that you are well-versed with the subject matter - answer on the other hand (although they give more experience) are less impressive to me
that is for WB though, it doesn't apply to many (if any) other sites
it's way too easy to write plenty of answers and get barrows of rep for them on WB; especially when just spamming answers instead of scrutinizing a question first
@Green you recently pinged me about factorio, are you up for any gaming somewhen?
I know. Questions, though, are put through the runner. The get half the rep, and double the scrutiny. Plus close votes. And more flags. And edits. And bad answers :)
@FoxElemental oh I'm not downvoting the question, I am downvoting the answer of the person that rather bashed out a quick few lines instead of voting as a duplicate - especially when they have a few thousand rep already and thus should be able to recognize questions that might've been asked already
@AmiralPatate The main issue with Midichlorians is that the explanation was so lacklustre that not knowing was a better alternative.I usually go by the rule of narrative potential. If there is more narrative potential in leaving something a mystery, leave it a mystery. If there is more narrative potential in the explanation you've devised, roll with the explanation. If they'd actually done something interesting with Midichlorians (like explored why they appear to give contradictory messages to Sith and Jedi, causing a perpetual cycle of war and genocide). — Ynneadwraith35 mins ago
Interesting concept.
Now I'm seeing the midichlorians as having agency (I think that's the term) and knows that it gets renewed when living things die. So it deliberately causes the perpetual wars and genocides.
if you look at the issues they raise in the question you will see that they are most likely not concerned about the immediate if, but about the viability of such an approach on an industrial scale. Looking at their rep I, wildly, assume that when writing industrial they are referring to a mid-1900s society with factories, etc.
@dot_Sp0T Mid 1900s is when we developed the atomic bomb and started the ground work for computers. Either they have metal, or they don't get past the 1200s (wild, uncited estimate) (if they even get there).
Either way, I still think it lacks basic research, but I'll let you guys handle it.
@Hosch250 please feel free to VTC or Flag! These tools are there for a reason. I am but one voice, and I already interacted with the question based on you bringing the topic up in the chat - I would assume that a mod would do similarly when reacting to a proper flag or such
So, in my book a hitman uses a very deadly venom/poison. But I'm not a toxicologist, so I do not know about a lot of venoms/poisons. I'll list the traits of my venom/poison, and you can tell me if this exists.
-It is very deadly. Even the smallest dosage will kill
-It takes a long time to take ...
Yeah. Having worked with wood myself, this has a million answers.
Depending on the wood, how it was cured, how well the wheel was designed (wood swells when wet, so the joints will bind if not developed correctly), etc.
Some wood will rot quite quickly when wet (can be affected by the water).
Also an interesting effect to examine is that metal wheels likely use tension to support the load, while wood will use compression.
Oak and beech are pretty good for outdoor purposes, as is ironwood (what the settlers preferred to make their ox yokes out of).
@dot_Sp0T In that case, I'd be surprised if the wheel couldn't last 25-75 years with yearly maintenance.
Longer if they periodically replace rotten boards.
The limitations here would be A) either the factory would shut down before the wheel needed to be replaced, or B) the factory would need more power than a single wheel could provide, so they'd need to install more.
And once you have more than one, you have (some) redundancy to replace wheels as needed.
Have you read Mill, by David (I think) Macaulay (sp?)?
He discusses the waterwheels used to run the mills in fair depth.
He also has interesting books about modern and ancient cities and ships and stuff.
Let me analyse this for you: You anchor yourself to the station. So your weight is now in the ballpark of $m_1=420\times 10^3\text{kg}$. The shot bullets are about $m_2=8\times 10^{-3}\text{kg}$ each and travel at $v_2=710 \frac {\text m} {\text s}$.

What do we do about people who VTC and Answer the question again?
now imagine every user would take time to analyze a new question and seeing if it's not really about that simplest of possible interpretations - thats what I'd be campaigning for as a diamond
Hi, I'm @FreezePhoenix, and I'd like to be elected for moderation. Some of you may know me as @TheOneWhoMade, or as @Pheo.
I feel the following reasons support my election:
- I've been around for quite a while now
- I've been on the receiving end of moderation. I know roughly what a mod can do, and how it affects the community.
- I try to be more open and accepting, and do not hold grudges in the way others do.
@FreezePhoenix Is the idea here that the current mods hold grudges? Or is this in reference to other users. Just asking for clarification because if that is a view some hold of current moderators we'd like to remedy that.
In this case, I'm not referring to those grudges. I'm referring to mixing those grudges with social ones. IE, I wouldn't stop talking to a person I'd just suspended. I'd definitely give a stern warning, but conversation would probably continue apart from that.
@HDE226868 Interesting - I've never seen a mod kick someone - r/a flags automatically chat suspend and anything more serious usually ends with a chat-suspension anyway
When a question is clearly off-topic I will downvote answers and comment that they should help fix the question before answering. Generally motivates people, especially if its one of the first votes they get.
Updated speech (For those who weren't with @AnkitSharma):

@Aify New user comes in, asks question. Question has a couple of different interpretations. A more experienced user comes in and answers the question with one interpretation, which turned out not to be the interpretation the asker was looking for. Asker ended up getting an answer in chat anyway, so we edited the question to fit what the answer said, which wasn't what the asker was looking for. The whole process took a few days :/
@AnkitSharma The joke answer is that I'm the 24601st and no-one knows how many died in the fight to get to the unicorns. The actual answer is 'probably two'
@Mithrandir24601 The "more experienced" user should have VTC'd as unclear or TB instead of answering. I place the blame on both the high rep user and the original asker (the former for not using his voting rights properly and answering a off topic question, and the latter for asking an unclear question).
The great thing about being a mod is that even if you lose rep, you don't lose any privileges. So I could bounty away 50,000 rep points, and in turns of being able to do stuff site-wide, I'd be fine. Once you get above 25k, it honestly stops mattering.
