I use a Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook (dotted, brown, B5) and a Caran d'Ache ballpoint pen. Works.

I also have an old Waterman fountain pen with a gold tip for special occasions.

Needs more annoying popups. Amazing they ever sell anything

Zikato

They don't. It's a money laundering front

I especially liked the refuse cookies button being greyed out - implying it's disabled. Even though it was working

Paul White

Ah yeah I just clicked refuse automatically

Zikato

I had some addon that automatically rejected anything on the standardized forms. It was working quite well, but MS changed something about their documentation and it was broken there

@PaulWhite Sorry, were those popups on one of the sites I referenced? If so, then please excuse me.

"What's green got to do with it?" sing along to the tune of Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It"

Sean Gallardy

@CadeRoux R has the same thing and she loves it

@ErikDarling Agreed! Then again, I also prefer books in paper form and not electronic form.

TIL Paul doesn't like cookies (there's a multidimensional joke in there somewhere)

i was in the process of answering this when i realized that she may have posted people's actual medical records in here

link redacted

i'm not sure if it's best to answer that and make a note, or let one of our skilled and thoughtful moderators address it another way

@ErikDarling Good thing it's showing in the chat now too. 😉

Vérace

Turkey lead Georgia 1-0 - Turkey is just after having a goal disallowed for offside! I'm supporting Georgia but I think that the offside rule should be abolished - so many good goals disalllowed!

Yes! Georgia equalise!

Erik Darling

@J.D. our skilled moderators excel at manipulating the transcript

for example

good morning!

mustaccio

Can we not post game spoilers here, for those planning to watch recordings later?

I mean, we protect the wordle players from spoilers, for dog's sake, surely football is even more worthy

J.D.

@ErikDarling good <redacted> and good <redacted>.

Erik Darling

@mustaccio i would never do that to you, my friend

versace is a real villain

Vérace

4:48 PM

@mustaccio My apologies - I didn't think of that - no more spoilers!

Cade Roux

@ErikDarling Looks like APIS passenger manifest information

Vérace

It's half-time (not a spoiler...)

Cade Roux

The guaranteed unambiguous date format is a giveaway

Erik Darling

the boston celtics won a basketball last night

Vérace

Anyone want to start a flame war about the offside rule? I'm (usually) beaten round the head (metaphorically) for having the temerity to suggest its abolition!

Erik Darling

4:53 PM

all we need is hannah's opinion on it to know if you're right or wrong

Vérace

@ErikDarling Yaay for Larry Bird!

Peter Vandivier

Vérace

I welcome opinons from all sides!

Cade Roux

@Vérace We didn't have it in our co-ed 7-a-side league. It was fine.

The world did not end

Vérace

Frequently in informal games, it's "no offside" and can have "floating goalie" (last man/person back)?

No offside is great - games are much more fluid!

Beards appear to be a lot more trendy with soccer players these days - difficult to see a Georgian player without one!

mustaccio

5:11 PM

Georgians without beards are only allowed to play in the junior league

if at all

Vérace

I'd be junior league so - I can't really grow a beard - patchy bits where nothing grows! I like to think that my testosterone has gone elsewhere! :-)

Hannah Vernon

@ErikDarling its in the process of being redacted now

just waiting for one of the other mods to approve it

@ErikDarling I resemble that remark

Vérace

6:04 PM

Here at home, the commentators are talking about "Czechia" (vs. Portugal - good luck with that - probably Ronaldo's last appearance at a major) - I much prefer "Czech Republic" - what does our Czech-mate (@Zikato) have to say? FTR, I also object to the Irish team being called the "Republic of Ireland" - there's no such place!

Erik Darling

czech: republic
ireland: not republic

@HannahVernon blessed days are upon us

Vérace

Excuse me? What makes you say that?

Q: Is it possible to automate Full Back ups?

I have to make a decision (at work) to choose which option is more feasible using SQL Server 2019: Option 1: Full backups sent once per week and differential backups sent between weekly backups. Option 2: Full backup sent once. Transaction log backups sent every 15 minutes. Additional full backup...

this has to be one of the most google-able things

i bet even bing could get it right

@Vérace Czechia is to Ireland as Czech Republic is to Republic of Ireland.

> The Czech government directed use of Czechia as the official English short name in 2016

Peter Vandivier

Zikato

Zikato

Criggie

10:35 PM
