askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/610479 injecting question?

Zacharee1

@Anwar attempt to reply

Anwar

custom reject

Kaz Wolfe

also...

aww. i thought this would become delete

Zacharee1

lolz

Zanna

how many k do you need for it to become delete?

Anwar

7:22 PM

@KazWolfe there are delete buttons too

@Zanna It's not dependent on k

Kaz Wolfe

i think it's 20 to be able to delete anything with -1 or more

Anwar

no. if -1 or less. 3 would delete an answer

Kaz Wolfe

full delete votes

not my pathetic "recommend delete" votes

Anwar

@KazWolfe Delete will be shown if the answer has negative votes

Kaz Wolfe

if you have 20k+.

IIRC only mods can delete any post

Anwar

7:24 PM

well..really?

Zacharee1

dupe askubuntu.com/questions/818385/installing-jdk-8

Anwar

oh. yes. 20k is required. 3 20k can delete negative votes answers

Kaz Wolfe

10k only grants delete closed Qs.

20k grants delete any answer -1 or less or any question -3 and closed

Anwar

/any question -3 and closed// what's this?

Zacharee1

@Serg askubuntu.com/questions/818388/…

Kaz Wolfe

7:26 PM

@KazWolfe mods :P

> Voting to delete questions with a score of -3 or lower immediately after they are closed

Anwar

you got those tools?

Kaz Wolfe

i have modtools, yes

Zanna

hm what to do?? doesn't look like a dupe really now askubuntu.com/review/reopen/610459

Anwar

Kaz Wolfe

Where I was away for 3 days (including half days -- the day of arrival and return (today)) there was no internet access and basically no mobile phone signal, I mean I had to climb a mountain in order to potentially get 1 bar for a minute, if I held my phone still after finding the signal in an awkward position. Then I get chased down the mountain my about 5 barking dogs who turned out to be runaways, but I thought were probably guard dogs.

Serg

@ByteCommander it's not powerflowy you need to be worried about. it's either your battery or upower daemon

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda sounds like fun

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth Another tag request wsl -> bash-on-linux

user136984

It was nice, in the Welsh valley being disconnected from everything, but the dogs weren't so fun... :D

Serg

@ByteCommander does Ubuntu default power indicator work ok? does it report percentage ?

user136984

7:32 PM

I really thought I wasn't going to make it down that mountain still in one piece though, it was seriously scary and I had no way of contacting anybody... The fact that they followed me down was even scarier.

user136984

They just came from all directions and were barking and charging at me and everything and they were quite big dogs.

Zacharee1

o_O

Byte Commander

@Serg Yes it does

user136984

That really shook me up, but the rest of the holiday was nice and the dogs turned out to probably just have run off from a farm and one of them even gave me a cuddle at the bottom! :D

Kaz Wolfe

GOING TAG CLEANUP CRAZY :DDDDDDD

Zacharee1

7:34 PM

@ParanoidPanda oh so they were just really friendly

Byte Commander

But I don't see what you think is missing in this output @Serg

user136984

@Zacharee1: I don't know about all of them, but I think they were probably just playing and barking to each other. But if you had been there it wouldn't have looked that way at first.

user136984

Big dogs just suddenly ran at me from all directions, circling me and aggressively barking.

Zacharee1

Barking isn't necessarily aggressive

Byte Commander

` energy-rate: 2,2644 W` is what you are looking for, right?

Zacharee1

7:36 PM

it's growling and showing teeth that's bad

but it's still a little intimidating when a bunch of big dogs run up to you :p

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 grrrr

Zacharee1

ur no doge

Kaz Wolfe

well, technically... yes.

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 wut? o.O

Zacharee1

ai wuz gona edit

Zanna

oh @ByteCommander fixed it for you :) @Serg

Byte Commander

Ah.... :D

user136984

Well, it was loud and constant seemingly at me so it just freaked me out... When you're up a mountain and suddenly out of bushes and from all directions a pack of dogs runs at you and starts circling you and non-stop barking, you would get worried too. Especially if there is no way of contacting anybody and it takes about 30-45 minutes to get down.

Kaz Wolfe

7:39 PM

@ParanoidPanda BORK BORK BORK

Zanna

have an upvote @Serg + community help

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe stahp u r doin me a friten

Zanna

ps you should install AnySoftKeyboard on your phone, it has all the metachars you could ever want @Serg

user136984

But fortunately it all turned out to be fine, they sort of escorted me back down (behind and in front of me).

Zacharee1

@Zanna or Google Keyboard

user136984

7:40 PM

Then jumped at me and we had a cuddle. :D

user136984

But I was still shaking when I got back down.

Zanna

noooo not google keyboard

user136984

Next time I think I will tell someone when I go up that mountain.

Zacharee1

@Zanna why not

@ParanoidPanda lol

Byte Commander

@Serg We should delete our comments about curly braces, don't you think?

Zacharee1

7:42 PM

Prankster Gangster lolololololololololololololololololol

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 My respect for you just plummeted through the floor.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe good, now we're even

Kaz Wolfe

Kaz Wolfe

Zacharee1

7:44 PM

@KazWolfe didn't we establish rep has nothing to do with skill? It just means some people spend too much time online >:D

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 That looks somehow like a spine with vertebrae and spinal discs...

Zacharee1

@Zanna did you forget how to use vim?

@ByteCommander lol

Zanna

@Zacharee1 that is a (possibly poorly spelled) actual Welsh place name (not kidding)

Serg

Accepted \ o/

Zacharee1

@Zanna ah, Welsh

Zanna

7:46 PM

alright for some

Kaz Wolfe

I'm excited about the proposal to add a "brontosaurus" emoji codepoint because it has the potential to bring together a half-dozen different groups of pedantic people into a single glorious internet argument.

Zanna

although sometimes vim does look a bit Welsh

Zacharee1

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
