oh god there's a new stellaris patch & dlc

@dot_Sp0T I love that even though I haven't contributed in a long time, one of my ideas was good enough to help build the plot around. Just since personal satisfaction.

@Green well, guess who made the first character :D

@dot_Sp0T it was me?

(I'm just kidding! Congrats!)

why is green blue?

@AndyD273 I . . . have heard about that one, yes. Some physicists have been annoyed at the Oxford group for what they see as an irresponsible press release - one that seemed to indicate certainty that the theory is right and will overturn dark matter, as well as an article written by the head of the group. At any rate, I hear, it's going to need some pretty rigorous testing to back it up. And many people are doubtful about its prospects.

@dot_Sp0T I haven't written for it in a while, but I keep up with it, and I'm happy with how long it's survived.

@HDE226868 it's mostly due to @AndyD273 being consistently behind it and nurturing it

hey there @Mithrandir24601

hey as well @bilbo_pingouin

@JourneymanGeek because I absolutely enjoy questions like yours :)

@Shalvenay hey yourself :)

@bilbo_pingouin how're things going?

@Shalvenay Saturday evening... no work tomorrow... can't complain :)

On your side?

@bilbo_pingouin alright out here

@HDE226868 possible troll on that question: worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/26001/…

The user (worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/users/58174/michael) has three answers on that question none are actual answers

@James ^^^

Hey @Shalvenay

@bilbo_pingouin Yay! I love that flagging gives auto down votes.

@Green does it? Or people actually take the time to do both?

Just dropping this here. Silicon is the bane of existence: m.phys.org/news/…

@Mephistopheles you might consider the lab, for such bomb drops: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/27216/the-laboratory :-)

@bilbo_pingouin Somebody forgot what the comment section is for?

@Mephistopheles new users can't comment... and on the first one, I would give them the benefit of the doubt... they're new, they don't know... but the most recent (or third), was made after reading the comments on a previous one, but continuing the discussion...

So I'd tend to claim "troll"...

@bilbo_pingouin Or just dumb and persistent, kinda like me, with the tint of attention-seeking.

@bilbo_pingouin I just flagged a question and it got a down vote.

@Green I flagged one answer, but it did not get down voted... but question/answers... that could be the explanation..

@bilbo_pingouin Thanks. I'm looking.

By the way, flagging as rude/abusive or spam gives an auto downvote, IIRC, but other flags don't.

fair enough.

@HDE226868 that must be it.

bye, enjoy your Saturday :-)
