@WinEunuuchs2Unix noted.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

You don't need Ritalin or ADHD you just need to play a little football or Softball and chase some pretty blonde blue eyed girls.

Owen Hines

I think I get most of my vocabulary and grammar stuff from my dad since he always uses a bunch of "big" words. He likes to sound smart even when it's unnecessary.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Someday you may grow up to be like your Dad....hereditary.

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't really like sports. But I do take care of my body by running a mile around my neighborhood 3 times a week and eating somewhat healthy

Eh, my dad is a coroner so I don't really wanna do that. But he is really smart.

He gets to do all the cases for Houston

Sometimes I even get to sit in court while he testifies for a case.

That's always interesting to watch.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines noted on exercise, but just remember most adults wish they could be young again and do it differently.... it's your opportunity to have fun. Although I never did it when I was in grade 9 I have the luxury of doing it in the future... being a political prisoner and all that :D

Nathan Osman

05:04

@OwenHines Ooh. That would be interesting.

Serg

My father is a welder , but he's good with all sorts of mechanical stuff. I personally hate cars. I'd rather take apart a computer than a car

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Never been to Houston but spent a lot of time in Dallas/Fort Worth Airports.

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix close enough :)

@Serg same

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Funny I was taking apart cars first, then computers, then cars again and now computers again.

Serg

circle of life, huh ?

Kaz Wolfe

05:06

@WinEunuuchs2Unix but you do need to be attractive.

Zanna

I should have downvoted that root user question! It reached -3... could have gone a little lower surely... two more votes... and now my answer has +20...

Kaz Wolfe

@Zanna link?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg more like "vicious circle" LOL... A kuna ma tatuh.

@Zanna I remember that root is not a root is a 0

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix i already regret it, just saying :P

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't find sports to be fun. I have a pretty small group of close friends which I love to hang out with. I find helping people out here really fun and satisfying. Along with other things such as making little programming projects and playing Overwatch :P

@Zanna, yeah you passed my answer up by a mile :P

Zanna

05:07

@KazWolfe you must have seen it... the question is on +12 now, no hope.... maybe it has to be -5 and +20 at the same time

Kaz Wolfe

@Zanna reversal candidates need a total vote of -5

Owen Hines

Only 3 downvotes on it

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I had a qusetion that keeps getting dowvoted but I can't delete it because there is an answer on it.

Zanna

It got -3 first though before going up

Kaz Wolfe

life lesson for you @OwenHines, don't go chasing girls. you have your entire life ahead of you. High school girls are downright nasty.

Wait until you're at least 20 or so.

Owen Hines

05:09

Yeah, a lot of them are pretty shallow.

Zanna

@WinEunuuchs2Unix if you want to delete it, you can try asking the answerer to delete? Do they have upvotes?

Owen Hines

All it causes right now is drama and heartache

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe He's in Junior high when they are still nice.

Kaz Wolfe

And I can promise you if you find someone who isn't, she's taken, not interested in you, or just doesn't like guys.

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix sometimes

Kaz Wolfe

05:10

high school sucked

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe yeah, there are guys way more confident than me

I just kinda sit in the back and by the time I get enough confidence, it's already too late

Kaz Wolfe

wait, why am i talking about this.

i have zero experience on this subject lol

Zanna

Exits room immediately haha

Owen Hines

lol

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe don't tell me you are in elementary school

Kaz Wolfe

05:12

@WinEunuuchs2Unix 18-27 range is not elementary.

Zanna

I don't know but I don't wanna hear about how any group of people en masse are nasty

WinEunuuchs2Unix

We have something in common I'm 8 to 888 range.

Owen Hines

@Zanna based on a majority of experiences, it's kinda hard not to associate. But I do keep an open mind.

Serg

@Zanna sometimes it's inevitable and groups of people can suck . . . collective psychology is a thing unfortunately :)

Kaz Wolfe

unless you're extremely lucky @OwenHines, or you become some ultra-popular student, you're gonna be alone in high school. Accept it and move on.

Go hang out with the Drama techs or something. They're fun.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

05:14

@OwenHines You just need to analyze less and hang out with girls you like... nature will take it's course.

Serg

@KazWolfe nah, he just needs to find couple of good friends. That's it. a couple is enough. Whole high school is irrelevant and overrated

Kaz Wolfe

that's another thing. if you try to get a girlfriend for the sake of a girlfriend, you're gonna have a really bad time.

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix "Nature will take its course" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@KazWolfe agreed. The only time I even try is if I really do like them

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg Thank you. I just roll my eyes every time someone says "high school was the best time of [their] life"

Nathan Osman

It was for me.

Zanna

05:16

I'm really leaving, I really don't wanna hear it haha I'll get breakfast

Owen Hines

Is it sad that a majority of my rep comes from grammar correction :P

Kaz Wolfe

but do try to find your "clique" for lack of a better term.

Nathan Osman

But then again, I was homeschooled.

Kaz Wolfe

There will be people who you will enjoy the company of.

Some of these may incidentally be girls.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Zanna breakfast at 11:16pm? You must be in England.

Kaz Wolfe

05:16

Don't ruin a good friendship seeking something more, either.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Correct.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe spoken like a true shewolf... I mean him / his / he / it.

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix stop please.

it gets annoying at a certain point.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe Sorry I thought it was funny.

Owen Hines

soo

Kaz Wolfe

it is to a point, which you're coming close to

either way, moving on

you were saying something @OwenHines?

Owen Hines

05:18

Lemme do some quick calculations on rep % from grammar corrections

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I rejected a couple of your grammar corrections Owen, they were getting annoying.

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Aww no more +2 rep

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Do you suggest I stop?

Kaz Wolfe

@OwenHines 23% rep came from edits, about

WinEunuuchs2Unix

There is someone who is worse...she's at 1948 now I rejected tons of hers but now I'm thinking of accepting them all so she hits 2000 and doesn't get any more points for editing.

Kaz Wolfe

oh god

do i need to stalk the edit queue again

WinEunuuchs2Unix

05:21

@KazWolfe I wish you did and then my queue would be empty :)

Kaz Wolfe

@OwenHines Don't add commands/etc to edits

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe how did I add commands?

Kaz Wolfe

the "i also want to share with you..." part

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe, ohhh right

Whoops

Won't do it again, sorry

Kaz Wolfe

don't alter what the post is saying, alter how it's said.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

05:23

don't add a question mark after a title.

Anwar

@WinEunuuchs2Unix who is she?

Kaz Wolfe

(unless you have a really really good reason to alter what the post is saying, you'll need to use your judgement/the review queue to aid you)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Anwar Lorenzo or Nicole or something like that.

Kaz Wolfe

@OwenHines it's okay, now you know :D

WinEunuuchs2Unix

LorenzoNicola?

Anwar

05:25

@WinEunuuchs2Unix why were you rejecting?

Kaz Wolfe

Cristiana Nicolae, Romania

2k 4 15 34

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe yeah usually I just ask for additional info in the comments and once they add it then I edit away

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Anwar She was like the David Cole Grammar Police

Anwar

do you have any example?

Kaz Wolfe

@Anwar askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/627722

WinEunuuchs2Unix

05:26

@KazWolfe great now she is 2k I won't see anymore grammar corrections from her because she can't make 2 points happy dance

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix she's not 2k

it's rounding up

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe well go find some edits of hers and vote her up damn it!!!

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix please don't reject good edits. Like that. (Paging @Seth @terdon because user trends)

Also, review on the post, not the user.

Owen Hines

Now I feel bad about my little edits :(

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe Last night when Anwar and Rinzwald were here they told me to reject minor edits.

Kaz Wolfe

05:27

@OwenHines They're okay as long as they improve the post

Anwar

Editing is fine if that improves the post.

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Minor trivial edits that make zero difference.

These edits are small, but they're still beneficial.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe And that's what we are talking about, correcting grammar changing "Im" to "Im" and adding a question mark.

Kaz Wolfe

Those are beneficial edits and should be accepted

Anwar

@OwenHines feel free to edit more.

Kaz Wolfe

05:29

Yeah, @OwenHines, i'm looking at your edits and they're good. Keep it up! :D

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe, alright. Currently I'm editing one as well.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Kaz, I could make 40,000 points doing that to 200,000 questions with a "spellbot" modeled after a "wolfbot" how would you like to have that stuffed up your review queue?

Owen Hines

Expect that to be in the queue soon

Anwar

@WinEunuuchs2Unix only a question mark was too minor.

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You can make a max of 2000 points, and you can only have 5 edits pending at any given time.

Anwar

05:30

^ that

Kaz Wolfe

And if you do that, you can guarantee that you'll get banned. Spelling edits are beneficial.

Anwar

2000 rep actually.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Anwar, how many questions have typo's like "Im" instead of "I'm"?

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix A lot, and we're not concerned about them. If someone fixes it, great. We're not gonna reject them, but they're not necessary either.

The post you rejected also removed the word "Hi", which is a good edit.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe but you don't have to read the review queue littered with them.

Anwar

05:32

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I don't have the stat. But if a question has several of them and you correct all those, it's good.

Kaz Wolfe

^

If there's just one and it goes to the queue, we use the "accept and improve" button.

or just the accept button

that doesn't really fall under a bad edit, so there's no reason to reject

WinEunuuchs2Unix

OK fine.. I'll just approve all those spelling corrections until they hit 2K and then they'll give up and try to answer a question for once in their life.

Kaz Wolfe

@OwenHines, the rule with editing is basically don't alter what the post is saying, and always assume commands are correct.

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe, right. That's what the comment section is for

Kaz Wolfe

05:33

Unless you're 500% certain a command is wrong, don't touch it. Leave a comment instead.

Owen Hines

@KazWolfe There's another edit for you guys in the queue :)

Anwar

oh. I actually came here to ask a little help :)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

help is our middle name... ask away

Anwar

There was a question recently about changing the color value of RGB component of the display separately. I need to find that one

It was asked about a month ago i think

WinEunuuchs2Unix

the answer is between 1 and 256

Kaz Wolfe

05:38

@Anwar anything else?

tags, maybe?

Anwar

can't remember much. the question was a bit long.

Owen Hines

@Anwar maybe this askubuntu.com/questions/561443/…

Anwar

@OwenHines thank you :) no, that isn't. the question had no answer.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Nice link though @OwenHines I enjoyed that one.

Owen Hines

Yeah, it seemed kinda interesting

Anwar

05:41

anyway, don't waste time if you haven't seen that one already. I thought some of you might remember seeing that.

Owen Hines

meh, I joined a week ago so no help here :/

Kaz Wolfe

still, OP should add it

unless OP abandoned the post

Alright

@KazWolfe hi

Rinzwind

hmm can I tell scp to copy files over that are NOT in a filelist?

Kaz Wolfe

I don't think you can.

Zanna

I was thinking the answer to that Q is in man rsync somewhere, but I'm too lazy for that

Rinzwind

@Zanna it is not in there ;-)

so it will be something elaborate using grep+xargI assume :P

Zanna

07:02

well we can't use wildcards/regex since their filenames are evidently arbitrary?

Rinzwind

ah well. he'll have to deal with it :=D

Zanna

or she

Kaz Wolfe

@Rinzwind it is in there ;-)

@KazWolfe haha good to know!

Kaz Wolfe

takes the same args per-line as --exclude does

A: Copy a folder with special requirement

If you can use rsync, you can grab all files from a folder, excluding a certain list using this command: rsync -a --exclude-from=path/to/excludes.txt myuser@myserver:/path/to/files/ . Be sure that path/to/excludes.txt is a text file like so: abc.conf rfc.conf moo.conf cat.conf ... Otherwise...

you were saying?

>:D

all's fair in rep and war.

Rinzwind

oh I added it to mine >:)

Kaz Wolfe

07:10

timeline doesn't lie

Rinzwind

and you did NOT answer his comment :+)

he said scp

Kaz Wolfe

also your command is wrong.

just saying <3

Rinzwind

"If you can use rsync"
and if he now tells you he can't?

Kaz Wolfe

then a decent amount of your answer is also invalid

Serg

@KazWolfe is that file local or remote ?

Kaz Wolfe

07:11

@Serg excludes are local

Rinzwind

soooo now I should just downvote you hmm?

Serg

aha, so excludes.txt is local . . . You might want to add that to the answer @KazWolfe

Rinzwind

hehehe

but like I said: copy them all over and delete them locally is a lot less hassle :P

Kaz Wolfe

tut tut rinz.

your commands have a fatal flaw.

@Rinzwind not incoming, outgoing.

Nathan Osman

Oh, one more thing.

Rinzwind

yes boss? >:)

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 It's a configurable setting and you saw the defaults.

So clearly the solution is to change the defaults.

Maybe just use "thing1" and "thing2" as examples.
