Good day all! Does anyone see any value whatsoever in this question? askubuntu.com/questions/881304/…

@ElderGeek good day to you!

It does annoy me when people use AU as a personal blog :(

I voted to close

and gave it a downvote for good measure

@Zanna Thanks for the help! Hope all is well with you and yours! ;-)

approx. 1:40h more of classes...

And tonight I practised "sleep is for the weak", but actually I don't feel as dead yet as I expected.

Death is for heros

@Oli I really feel something is wrong here. Let's see what happened: an answer is posted, which compares itself to the other answer, presenting itself as the "better" answer, because <claim>. The claim, even if it was true, is about nothing, but it simply is not true, and the answer positions itself on incorrect arguments; false information. I ask the poster to remove it, which he doesn't. Now I am positioned as the offender?

Oli

What you refuse to see is "it simply is not true" is itself not true.

@Oli then how do you read this: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/35322088#35322088, but again, even if it were true, it is about nothing, and in itself no argument, even if it were true.

Oli

Yup. Running over time, yours is more efficient. Changing language, his is faster and more efficient.

He didn't stipulate so you don't get to say "it simply is not true". It is only sometimes not true.

Just as your interpretation is not always true.

...Then let him write that, and my vote is reversed. But that's not what he writes, not what the average passenger reads.

@JacobVlijm Where is the "smile" ? Can't see it ... didn't you read my message ? :D

@cl-netbox :)

^ see, I can

@Takkat I think I'm not ready for that honor yet...

@JacobVlijm great ! :)

@JacobVlijm But for my "CLMA" (chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/35322996#35322996) I would have expected a somewhat bigger "laugh / smile" like this -> :D :D :D ! :)

@ThomasWard Not ? Then I must have missed your transformation into a "bright shining and super cute" alien spreading love and peace over all of us here ! Sorry for that, I apologize and propose you for being handed out the diamond "KSM (Kindest and Sweetest Moderator) medal of honor" ... this rare badge gets extremely seldom awarded by the highest priest of the SE imperium ! :D :D :D

@Oli The newly added argumentation, presented as a matter of live and death, makes a silly impression on me, given the fact that it is subjective and with the same silly gravity we can sum up arguments to do the opposite. Nevertheless, kind of thank you.

Note also that the script first changes language and then runs the other commands. There is no noticeable difference in response whatsoever.

Flogging a dead horse

Flogging a dead horse (alternatively beating a dead horse, or beating a dead dog in some parts of the Anglophone world) is an idiom that means to continue a particular endeavour is a waste of time as the outcome is already decided. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of the expression in its modern sense was by the English politician and orator John Bright, referring to the Reform Act of 1867, which called for more democratic representation in Parliament. Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to flog a dead...

@JacobVlijm I think the topic should be put aside now ... ore you still so upset that you didn't even notice me saying -> chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/35324773#35324773 ? :)

@terdon :D

Good afternoon terdon ! :)

@terdon any particular meaning with the message? :)

terdon

Just let's please stop talking about this. You are sure you're right and don't seem to be willing to listen to arguments, despite the edit you don't seem to feel your vote was wrong and, frankly, the whole thing is a storm in a teacup and I don't see how any good can come of continuing the discussion.

So let's drop it and move on.

@terdon You might have missed the fact that I reverted my vote

Even better.

@JacobVlijm Thank you Jacob ! Good decision ! :)

@cl-netbox you do know it was actually you who made me, don't you?
