Jiminy... this is almost certainly a duplicate of something, but it has tons of answers. Yay for XP farmers!

@XanderHenderson Is my downvote literally the only downvote on that question?

To each, their own.

@XanderHenderson What is your point?

I wish folks wouldn't complain about things they do nothing about.

@amWhy I posted the question here, then got called away to deal with my 6 year old daughter while looking for a dupe target (which I eventually gave up on). At this point, I have voted to close and downvoted.

It is a pity that the semi-synchronous nature of online chat can cause misunderstandings. ;)

To be fair, it was probably rude of me to leave without saying something to the effect of "Yo, AFK, brahs (and @amWhy)!" :P

Hrm... I am, perhaps, a little bit drinked. Martini on an empty stomach maybe not a good idea.

And now that she is done "going potty," it is time to read bedtime stories (we are almost done with Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator; after that, I think we start on the Little House series...)

@TheSimpliFire Has been edited. I think it's acceptable now, right? (MathJax aside.)

@MichaelGreinecker: Hey! Good to see you around here. =)

CRUDE is a lot more boring than most meta threads on it would make one believe.

Yea. People who make a lot of noise aren't the ones who actually get their hands dirty. Generally.

@user21820 Yes.

It is the sequel. In which they go to space and meet some aliens.

Lol okay!

(among other things)

So... this isn't an answer at all.

Funny, in a kind of snarky (and possibly code-of-conduct-skirting way), but not an answer.

It really shouldn't have two upvotes.

11:45 AM

@XanderHenderson You can have flag.

Also, it isn't even the right typesetting for the joke. It should be something akin to $$\mathrm{e}\ {}^{j\ t\ \beta\ \sin\ (\ w\ t\ )}.$$

I did flag. :)

I realized mine's inferior.

No effort.

@MikePierce Up for deletion.

I came to warn you guys.

If CO2 emissions continue, the planet is in danger.

@user21820 done

@AsafKaragila Um isn't that more suitable for Skeptics SE?

@user21820 If you live somewhere around me, you'd know that there's nothing to be skeptical about!

@AsafKaragila Thank you! Yeah, it sucks. I'm in southern California, and summer has been renamed fire season down here. How is it where you're at?

3:07 PM

@MikePierce Well, right now, rainy and eeky. But it was exceptionally hot this summer.

@AsafKaragila Yea I know. It's the same almost everywhere. I was just taking a poke at those people who against all evidence insist otherwise.

@user21820 Well. It makes sense. Just like it makes sense to believe that "god create this world for us". It relieves you from being accountable.

@AsafKaragila Not all religions make God responsible. And this is seriously going off-topic now...

@user21820 Of course. I'm talking about those beliefs that do.

@user21820 Better call a moderator... :D

I'm gonna let you guys get back to work.

Hahaha...

3:43 PM

@AsafKaragila So I'm exempted from getting "back to work"? Look up "guys" on the internet.

@amWhy I've sent you some risotto leftovers. I thought you'd just eat something.

I guess they went to the wrong place.

@AsafKaragila :P

Hi, please review the following posts:

5, 6, 7, 8

9, 10, 11, 12

13, 14, 15, 16

17, 18, 19, 20

Review how? I believe none of them should be reopen

@Holo Then vote to close/delete.

They all closed

And can't vote to delete

Oh then there's nothing you can do except upvote/downvote.

Of course, if you believe any of them should be reopened, you can vote and/or state your reasons here.

I was wondering this: does a post become open for deletion at the same time for everyone regardless of their reputation?

Sorry that's more: 21, 22, 23, 24

@MikePierce math.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/moderator-tools

Often times John Ma's grid of numbers are posts that (IMO) should be deleted but aren't open for deletion yet

Oh you meant like this

John Ma

@MikePierce Those posts are sometimes quite old (and are all closed instead of "put on hold"). What do you mean by aren't open for deletion yet?

Yeah, these ones are all open for deletion. Sometimes you post some questions that are closed, but more recent and not open for deletion, and I wonder why. Are they just not open for deletion to me but other users with higher rep can vote for deletion?

@MikePierce I haven't looked at the questions in question, but there are differences in when one can vote to delete. Trusted users can vote to delete closed questions with a score of -3 or lower immediately. User with between 10k and 20k need to wait three days.

8:04 PM

Consider voting to close this PSQ

8:41 PM

@DanielFischer Ahh okay. That makes sense, since I cannot be trusted.

Of course you can't be trusted! You are only active for ~4 years :P

Definition on MSE of *trusted user*: "a user on MSE who has gained 20,000 reputation points". *What are trusted users?* :

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

I am not entirely sure what to make of this answer...

Simply Beautiful Art

Open for deletion

@XanderHenderson Just define something unrelated and in this definition it is okay to define by 0?

@SimplyBeautifulArt Wow, the answerer of that poor question seems to have had their account deleted.

@Holo Is that what they are trying to say?

@XanderHenderson that is what I took from it, I am not sure what they tried to say

10:23 PM

The "division" is not even an operation in that answer.

That is why I said "unrelated"

Yeah, I don't understand the answer, but I assumed that, because it isn't my field, I might be missing something.

Imma go downvote and flag now, methinks.

Like, what is a non-composed circle?

It does address the question, though. Perhaps the issue resides in the question statement itself.

Has experience in delivering cheeky answers to certain types of questions

What is "measurement of potential infinity" in cardinal numbers terms?

10:39 PM

An attempt at a one-to-one correspondence with an infinite cardinality ("actual infinity").

This answer seems to have a (non-Platonic) philosophical relative.

How do you define an attempt in measurement? I never heard of this term outside of this answer

(Which was deleted)

Giving an incidence relation (which the answerer wants to be different from $\in$)

MOD HAMMERED!

Anyway, I shall stick with the theory that somebody was messing around.

11:02 PM

@XanderHenderson Unfortunately, this user has a long history on Israeli math forums.

Many a bachelor students tried to reason with him. You hear stories left and right, pretty much everywhere you go where people from the internet age (under 40, say) have mathematical degrees.
