12:00 AM
I'm only fluent in English tho
 
@J.Musser You can add languages in Control Panel, if you're using windows
what OS are you using?
 
@Shokhet Windows 8
 
Sue
@J.Musser Just tried to answer you, was told I wasn't logged in!
 
@J.Musser Same....open control panel
 
@Sue Why? did ya clear your search history?
 
Sue
12:02 AM
@J.Musser Nope, didn't do anything.
 
@Sue huh
 
@J.Musser I'm only fluent in English, though I can speak Hebrew, slowly....I can get Aramaic (that's what the Talmud is written in, after all), and can understand Yiddish, though I can't speak back
 
Sue
@J.Musser Seems fine-I just posted again w/o changing anything. Maybe it didn't like my French!
 
עודהמסר הוא , כך קשה יותר להקלדה החוצה.
 
Sue
@Shokhet Oy Vay!
 
12:04 AM
@J.Musser ???
@Sue :)
 
@Shokhet idk, a collection of chars... :)
 
@J.Musser שלום עליכם, חבירים :)
(typed, not copied :P)
 
Hey, there are 10 users in here
@Shokhet Γεια σου , πώς είσαι
You can't read that I bet
It's in greek
 
@J.Musser Good guess :P
@J.Musser I figured
@J.Musser What does it mean?
 
@Shokhet Hello, how are you
 
12:08 AM
@J.Musser הכל בסדר, ברוך השם :P
 
Yay, lets study vulcans! jk — J. Musser 31 mins ago
 
(everything's fine, thank God)
 
Sue
@Shokhet I found some feathers in a chicken the other night and thought of you:)
 
@Sue :)
.....used kitchen tweezers?
:P
 
@Shokhet Τα πάντα σημαίνει ... τι;
 
12:10 AM
....I haven't bought a pair, but I haven't shechted anything recently.
@J.Musser הלימודים שלי, החברים שלי, "לייפהאקס סטאק אקסצ'נג," וכן כולם
 
Sue
@Shokhet Nope-my fingers! I respect why you don't touch the chicken-I just think it's slimy and gross!
 
@Shokhet wow, I can't even read that
what does it say?
freind?
 
@J.Musser that's because the parts in quotes are transliterated, rather than translated :P
 
Sue
@J.Musser Do you guys all have multi-keyboards or are you cutting/pasting?
 
@Sue I have multi-keyboards. I don't know what Musser's doing
@Sue I type most of my notes, when studying Torah subjects, in Hebrew
 
12:14 AM
@Sue I'm copying chars from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet and other places
 
@J.Musser Waste of time -- just use Google Translate :P
 
Sue
@Shokhet Wouldn't it be fun to have talk-to-text translation?
 
....I'm gonna have to leave soon, but not just yet.
@Sue It would be
 
@Sue I think you can get that.
@Shokhet Google translate isn't working well here
 
....when I listen to a class, even in English, I'll take notes in Hebrew. It's easier than constantly switching languages, I think.
 
12:15 AM
Ooh, chat's bugged up here
 
@J.Musser Well, it wouldn't get "לייפהאקס סטאק אקסצ'נג" :P
 
Sue
@J.Musser How about sign language? I'm mostly deaf.
 
@Sue I know a little of that -- my sister is studying audiology
@J.Musser לייפהאקס סטאק אקסצ'נג = Lifehacks Stack Exchange....see it now?
 
@Shokhet I see exchange...
 
Sue
@Shokhet Good for her-a good audiologist makes a lot of difference.
 
12:17 AM
(according to the rules of Yiddish transliteration, it should have been עקסצ'נג', but whatever
 
@Shokhet Looks like it says 'lifehou
lol
 
@Sue :) ....she taught me some sign language, though I haven't used it in a long time. With a little practice, I should be able to get by, I think
 
@Sue I only know asl.
 
@J.Musser last letter is ס (samach), not O
@J.Musser You also speak ASL? ....I guess that's 3 (2.5) of us :P
 
@Shokhet I'm rusty and I make mistakes, but it's useful, especially with older customers who can no longer hear.
 
Sue
12:20 AM
@J.Musser Wow-you guys really are linguists! J. Do either of you have hearing-impaired relatives?
 
@Sue I do.
 
@J.Musser I see. I'm in school (post-high-school yeshiva), so I don't get much cause to use it. I might in the future, though
@Sue I don't, not really.
I know several people with cochlear implants, though
 
Sue
@J.Musser Disease? Genetic? Too personal a question? I Have Menieres Disease.
 
@Sue idk, prolly age
 
Sue
@Shokhet That's cool. I'm not a candidate, but my doctor does a lot of them.
 
12:23 AM
@Sue I'll have to ask my sister what she knows about it (or my father, he's an ENT :P), but according to WP vertigo is a symptom. Did you ever get an Epley?
@Sue I see.
....my sister published a paper about a modified Epley procedure, a while back
 
Sue
@Shokhet Where is your dad an ENT? My dad was a vascular surgeon. My ENT (head of the department at Harvard Med and Beth Israel Boston doesn't think the Epley would work for me either.
 
....though google scholar won't find it for me
@Sue New Jersey, though he has privileges in Mt. Sinai (Manhattan)
 
Sue
@Shokhet If you ever find it, send me a link.
 
@Sue Sure thing
 
Sue
On phone w/my hubby, be right back...
 
12:27 AM
kk
btw, @J.Musser, "חלדה" could also be "חלודה," which means rust (I know, old conversation, but I figured I'd let you know ;)
 
ok
 
Sue
@Shokhet Mt. Sinai's awesome. I saw a specialist there for my Meniere's years ago, but he said the best research is being done here. Wonder if it was your dad-don't remember his name. My dad grew up in NY. His dad was a chief administrator at BI there. His brother was a cardiologist. His other brother was a thoracic surgeon at BI Boston.
 
@Sue It probably wasn't my dad; he doesn't go there so often, but when he does it's usually for surgery.
 
Sue
@J.Musser I found a speak option in this box. Thought I could talk into it but when I clicked on it it read me an old message I wro an hour ago!
 
@Sue That's odd.
wonder what it's good for, if that's all it does
 
12:40 AM
@Sue lol
Is chat bugged up for anyone else?
 
@J.Musser It's working fine by me. Maybe it was confused by all that Greek junk you put in here :P
 
Sue
@Shokhet Try it!
 
@Sue I don't see that option anywhere. Where on the page is it?
 
Sue
@Shokhet If I click on the blue box where I write the message, it says Select, Speak
Ooops, I meant it says Paste or Speak
 
@Sue Are you in the app, or on the webpage?
 
Sue
12:45 AM
I'm in Safari on my iPad.
 
hm....I'm in Chrome on Windows 8
^^^ is what I see. Where is that option supposed to be?
 
Sue
@Shokhet That's what I see too. Press lightly in the blue box.
 
@Sue I have a click. Left click does nothing
 
@Sue The message box?
 
Sue
@J.Musser Yup.
 
12:48 AM
Right click gets this:
....might that be an iPad function, rather than a SE chat function?
I don't know these things, I'm no programmer
 
Yeah that's not an option here
 
Sue
@Shokhet Ipad has no click options. If there's text in the box I get Select, Select all, Paste, Speak, like a cut/paste thing.
 
@Sue So it might be an iPad thing. Or a Safari thing -- one of the options I got was to change Chrome's language settings.
(I'm not curious enough to download Safari, but I might later)
 
Sue
@Shokhet No matter what I do, though, it's speaking the first message I wro to Shokhet when I came in the room.
 
That's weird. Maybe report a bug?
 
Sue
12:53 AM
@J.Musser Are you a programmer, or at least fluent in some way? You guys both know the inner workings of the site.
 
I gotta go now; see y'all around!
 
Sue
@Shokhet Au Revoir!
 
@Shokhet cya!
@Sue I can't even write code.
Not even c#
 
Sue
@J.Musser :Could have fooled me!
 
@Sue eh?
If I was a geat programmer, I'd have some rep to go with my badges on Stack overflow.
 
Sue
12:56 AM
@J.Musser My son's a computer engineer but thinks his mother is boring so he won't teach me anything!
 
@Sue lol I feel ya.
 
Sue
@J.Musser Do you know why this blue box disappears while I'm writing in it and the cursor jumps into the white space above it and I can't read my message?
 
@Sue Sounds like a bug in your app...
I'm having some bugs right now also
 
Sue
@J.Musser Wouldn't surprise me-don't like iOS 8.
 
@Sue You should get a desktop.
It's way better.
 
Sue
1:01 AM
@J.Musser I have one in the other room. I tried SE on it the other day and there were so many pop-ups I got mad!
 
@Sue You have adblock?
 
Sue
@J.Musser And tons of words had those underline-thingies (technical term) with links to ads.
 
I have no ads whatsoever.
 
Sue
@J.Musser Really! What do you use for Adblock? Is that a brand name? Dennis uses only the desktop and is constantly annoyed by the ads.
 
@Sue It's a browser extension.
I use chrome.
 
Sue
1:11 AM
Cool. I did find SE had better features on the desktop (Windows 8), would like to be able to use it. Dennis uses Firefox but I could always add Chrome. Yikes, it's late-I'd better go eat something. Thanks for keeping me company in two places and many languages.
 
@Sue Yeah, eat lots...
There's the firefox one, @Sue^^
 
Sue
Thanks for both of those, will def get one!
 
Sue
Last thing- if I don't "leave" a chat room, do I just disappear at some point? I always forget to leave Garden Shed.
 
@Sue You don't have to leave.
You shouldn't automatically leave unless you log out.
I tend to just hang around in a lot of rooms and never leave.
 
Sue
1:19 AM
I never log out. If I don't answer a post, it's cuz I'm not there!
 
@Sue Yeah, same here
Or I'm too busy talking to a dozen other folks
Usually it's cause I am at work and left my chat tabs open
 
Sue
That's probably more often the case with you!
I meant that you're probably talking to people!
 
At times.
In the summer, I'm usually at work for 8-12 hrs/day, so that with family time (priorities first :D), leaves little time for SE.
Right now, I'm starting to go under 40 hrs/week, so more time.
 
Sue
@J.Musser Ooops, just tried to enter something again that didn't work. Guess I'll go and worry about it later! I like your priorities! My husband works 3pm - 2am which is why you find me here in the late afternoon-eve.
 
@Sue Are you in eastern standard time?
 
Sue
1:29 AM
@J.Musser Yup-Central Mass. Just noticed I got a a Talkative badge. Don't know if that's good or bad but I like it! My mom used to call me verbose!
Cya
 
@Sue That badge is from having someone star one of your chat messages (I think you have to have posted a few others as well).
 
Sue
@J.Musser Oh-don't know who starred me. I just went to The Garden Shed and pressed on the text-entry box and didn't get that option to speak thing. It's a mystery!
 
@Sue I think I did.

That one
 
1:52 AM
Hello Everybody! :)
The moderators still haven't popped in! What's going on?
 
2:41 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky Hiya! :)
@darthnesscoveredthesky It might take a while....SE community managers choose pro-tem (temporary) moderators, so it'll be whenever they make a choice.....it took a while on Worldbuilding (another beta site) for the mods to be chosen, so I think it's a good idea to just be patient.
@Sue Congrats! :)
@J.Musser Congrats!
 
@Shokhet Hi!
 
Hi! :)
....about this comment; you don't have to welcome me, I've been here a while :)
 
@Shokhet Yes I do I'm being nice :)
 
....save the "welcome"s and "see you around"s for new users, I think
It is good to be nice -- it's site policy!
 
@Shokhet At WikiHow everybody is always welcome
@Shokhet At WikiHow there are welcomers who periodically welcome new and old users!
 
2:48 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky Everyone is always welcome here, too.....but usually, a "welcome" comment is reserved for a user's first post, not for established users, usually
@darthnesscoveredthesky Really? Why would you welcome old users?
 
@Shokhet To be nice and thank them for volunteering.
WikiHow has only 25 employees yet it on the Alexa Rank at 1oo and something. You should be nice to the users because they are working for no pay.
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky I see. From my understanding of it, things are a little different here.
@darthnesscoveredthesky Users here work for free also -- ignoring the "fake internet points" :P
 
@apaul34208 Hi! :) Happy New Year!
@Shokhet Its different, the users there write articles and are basically working for free. Here it is more play on some sites.
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky Oh, right. I forgot that WikiHow is more articles, less Q/A
 
@Shokhet I think your question is psychological and I may be wrong, but someone already downvoted so you should explain before people misunderstand.
 
2:51 AM
I don't think it's a psych question -- there should be a physical solution.
.....the page I linked to, in fact, says that you could use a rolled up towel. I might post an answer, based on that
 
@Shokhet Everyone always forgets :) Anyway you can get numerous accounts on wikihow and only 1 here. I have like 3 of them
 
If you have multiple emails, you could have more than one account here also; I wouldn't, because that makes people think you're committing voting fraud
 
@Shokhet Ok, IDK! The community will decide, they always do anyway :).
@Shokhet Oh dear! That would be boring, I already have enough trouble with one account :/
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky Yup. I like how these SE sites work -- there's no one body making decisions, it's all about consensus.
 
Anyway this account is going to get neglected because I got a second job! :) Yay me. I was at work all day :(
 
2:55 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky Hm. There are some people who do it, like @Doorknob with this account :P
@darthnesscoveredthesky That's good. What do you do?
 
@Shokhet Or its about people just seeing what someone already voted and mirroring that instead of reading and thinking objectively :)
@Shokhet That is not the same user! I am sure :)
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky Well, that happens sometimes, also. Voting is supposed to work like this, but it doesn't always
@darthnesscoveredthesky :)
 
@Shokhet I work at a store and as a Nursing Assistant(for about a year now), I plan on becoming a nurse while I'm still wickedly young though :)
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky Cool. Are you currently certified as a nurse, at any level? Rn, etc?
 
@Shokhet That was cool and true! But have you ever seen a case when that actually happened ;)
 
3:00 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky I'm no mindreader; I don't know what makes other people vote ;)
 
@Shokhet Sorry, but the answer is "duh". Would I be working 2 jobs and soon a third if I was a nurse at any level? :) No, I like pain, but that is to much. No offence meant.
@Shokhet Are you sure you aren't? :)
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky I don't know how nursing certifications work; I know there are several levels to nursing certifications.
You don't need to certify at all to work as an assistant?
 
@Shokhet Really? Do explain? I've never heard of this before? I just thought you needed boards and associate degree in nursing. IDK
@Shokhet In some states you do and some states you don't. But taking a class is needed in most states
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky That might depend on what country you're in.
 
@Shokhet I said states, I live in America :)
@Shokhet I currently live in the North America not the South one :)
 
3:06 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky Oh. I don't know; I was talking to a friend who was thinking about becoming a nurse
@darthnesscoveredthesky :)
 
@Shokhet You want to become a Nurse? Are you going to a University, I don't go to Universities.
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky I want to be a doctor. My friend is thinking about nursing school; I'm not sure what he's going to do.
I have to go now; see you around!
And welcome to LH, @darthnesscoveredthesky! :P
 
@Shokhet OK welcome and Bye :)
 
heh
 
Hello @SabreTooth :)
 
3:11 AM
yo
 
@SabreTooth Why are you a kitten?
 
Sabre Tooth
@darthnesscoveredthesky it's a sort of play on words, a sabre tooth is an extinct big cat, so, I use a kitten
so @darthnesscoveredthesky fear me!
 
3:28 AM
@SabreTooth Maybe. The cat is pathetic, what would it do spit furballs at me?
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky 'pathetic'? that's not very nice
 
@SabreTooth A Sabretooth can have a tooth as long as 20 inches in some cases, very scary compared to kitten :)
 
obviously it is a joke
 
Guys, what is cleanup badge mean?
 
@SabreTooth I like cats, but that is a kitten and it can do nothing to hurt anyone, but give us cat scratch fever. I understand JKing :)
@JoachinJoseph Hello! IDK :)
 
3:32 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky thanks :)
 
@JoachinJoseph if you click on the badge. then it will tell you what it means
 
@JoachinJoseph What do you mean? What did I do? Haha, I do not understand! :)
I ping wrong person twice :) That is ping pong, get it!
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky thnks for replying ...at least courtesy. @SabreTooth It means first rollback
@SabreTooth I didnt understnd what is first rollback
 
@SabreTooth That is funny!
 
3:35 AM
@JoachinJoseph first rollback means the first time you rolled back (reversed) an edit
 
@JoachinJoseph You rollback a edit, go to edit history of post find bad new edit and click rollback
 
oh I see. Thanks guys..so kind of you...
 
I am very bad at rollbacking :) I have to rollback the rollback, so I keep the ball rolling! Haha I am so funny :)
 
funny
All you guys r from UK and US ?
 
@JoachinJoseph Don't mention it. Genuine questions are very good :) We need to learn more!
@JoachinJoseph Someone gets my jokes :)
 
3:38 AM
@darthnesscoveredthesky if you say so
@JoachinJoseph nope, neither
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky you r correct.. I think you r having so much expertise here. This is the first site I m looking into on SE. I m a newbie
 
@SabreTooth That is funny :( Haha, I know it is :)
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky @SabreTooth When I click the users tab, I could see many r from US ..tats y
 
@JoachinJoseph Oh, I know nothing on SE sites. I learn from everybody else. I pick the brains of the users up

@SabreTooth I am very funny, people say I become comedian and tell jokes for money
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky if you and 'they' say so
 
3:41 AM
@SabreTooth I thought you still are, where did you go? Did you delete accounts?
 
@darthnesscoveredthesky take a look, when SE gets back online
 
@SabreTooth They and me become besties, they are good talent finders! They can tell a person profession by looking at them :) That is insane
 
I just saw Jon skeet profile on SO
 
@JoachinJoseph That looks genuine :)
 
3:43 AM
@SabreTooth I am also living in Australia .. Sydney..you?
 
@JoachinJoseph on the twitter page it says "We are failing over to our redundant SQL servers now, there will be a brief maintenance page"
 
@JoachinJoseph I already saw it. Evidently the user is a legend on SE
 
@JoachinJoseph central Queensland
 
@SabreTooth Somebody speak English! :)
 
Jon Skeet is the Chuck Norris of SO
