It's rare that you see stuff removed from the Nth to trash.

but then I read this

in Trash, 11 hours ago, by Gustavo6046

They should just nuke North Korea once for all...

and now I am not surprised it was removed. :s @Quill

Quill

That's not even why the messages were deleted

Dan Pantry

What happened? I can't really understand from the Trash chatroom

I'm not seeing any of that (presumably cus it's deleted)

Lol

don't delete your comments.

there's no point censoring it

Quill

meh

anyway yeah, that was about it

Dan Pantry

Did Gustav get banned or?

Cus the NK comment he made was pretty, uh, extreme

Quill

I said that, yeah

it only got moved later

Dan Pantry

10:44

Okay

did anyone point it out to him

Quill

Yes

Dan Pantry

Alright, good

this is a politically, racially and gender-biasly free zone @Gustavo6046

@Gustavo6046 This is a friendly, but firm warning. Please watch what you post in this room. If you want to talk politics with others, invite them to The Nth Monitor, that's what we created it for. Thank you.

Dan Pantry

holy fuck what?

he posted it in the 2nd monitor

dang

Quill

yes

Dan Pantry

10:46

that's the mother of all fuckups lol

Quill

well something like that

Dan Pantry

I thoguht it was posted in the nth

that would explain why I can't view half of the conversation

Quill

I find that when users ping people who aren't relevant to the conversation, they're often spammers or help vampires

and he was doing that

I made a Korea (moderately SFW) joke in The Nineteenth Byte, which prompted him to make that comment

so it was partly my fault

it's probably still starred there, actually

Dan Pantry

It's alright, it'sj ust knowing the line

He jsut needs to learn what is and isn't appropriate

for someone with not so much social experience it's not that easy

Quill

in The Nineteenth Byte, 11 hours ago, by Alex A.

@El'endiaStarman Don't send it to Code Review! That's like sending a warring country your missile launch codes!

in The Nineteenth Byte, 11 hours ago, by Quill

It's like sending Korea a box set of Friends

Dan Pantry

10:52

@Quill lol

Quill

The ironic part is that Asian countries actually really like Friends

Dan Pantry

I've seen people with just random english words on their clothes befre

reminds me of people that get chinese tattoos that actually mean nothing

Quill

Yeah, It's doubly funny when you actually understand the language and you see the meaning nothing tattoos and you understand the Kanji

Dan Pantry

11:15

I just got invited to my employer's private healthcare and i have no idea what any of these wrods mean

Quill

lol

Dan Pantry

Also I am so excited for the DEadpool release, for once a movie is being released in the UK sooner than anywhere else

Zak

11:33

@DanPantry Assuming you mean some kind of private healthcare cover, it's really nice. NHS is great for helping people in emergencies, but frustratingly slow for anything else (See: Non-emergency operations, chronic care, non-emergency A&E etc.)

Dan Pantry

@Zak Yeah, I know. I had to call up my local doctors FIFTY TIMES yesterday at 8am to get an appointment because they won't let you book in advance

I then had to wait at the doctors for 40 minutes after my appointment time only to be told to keep doing what I'm doing.

and I'm not joking I do mean 50 times

because their phone line only allows 1 person to be in the queue at a time

It's so stupid

Zak

11:58

@DanPantry WOW

That is an, impressive, level of idiocy

Dan Pantry

Then you have the 26 NHS dentists in cardiff, all of which are not accepting any more NHS patients..

Quill

12:12

Hey @DanPantry you know TSQL right?

Dan Pantry

@Quill Just about, I'm not the best person to ask about it, though. Why?

Quill

data.stackexchange.com/meta.stackoverflow/query/fork/420674

I want to don't want to select duplicates

also I knew you knew C# so I figured you would

Dan Pantry

SELECT DISTINCT will select distinct rows

Though, that might not be what you are looking for

Quill

that seems to work

thanks

Dan Pantry

not a problem

Zak

13:03

Something for those of you who love mega-engineering projects. This is the Prelude, (soon to be) the largest floating structure in history. With the River Thames for scale:

Dan Pantry

14:00

That ship is impressive, but it's not a rubber duck.

Dan Pantry

14:20

@Zak browsing places on an estate agent's website

> + £425 (inc. VAT) admin fee. Other terms & fees may apply.

What the fuck

HOW CAN YOU CHARGE £425 FOR AN ADMIN FEE

Zak

14:32

@DanPantry Because people are willing to pay it? Capitalism suggests that either people are happy to pay that fee for their services, or they're not and they'll go out of business.

That said, I agree, seems Ridiculous to charge the (prospective) tenant

Dan Pantry

I can understand a £100 admin fee.

£200 is.. pushing it

£425 just seems completely unjustifiable.

That's the rent of a small house.

Dan Pantry

15:17

I've found it very hard to focus recently. What do? I can't seem to concentrate on my work.

Zak

15:52

@DanPantry What kind of time scale does "Recently" Encompass?

Dan Pantry

This week

Zak

Could just be a passing thing. My productivity got really bad the last fortnight of last year.

Difficult to diagnose without being inside your head ^^

Dan Pantry

I think its just because its the first week back in the new year, I guess

I'm usually pretty unproductive after long breaks, takes a week or so to get back into it

Doesn't help I wrote nearly no code over the holidays, either

Zak

@DanPantry I'm the opposite. Breaks allow me to recharge (usually).

Dan Pantry

@Zak 1-2 day breaks let me recharge.

2 week breaks..

Zak

15:59

I'll admit, breaks > a couple days have no extra benefit AFAICT, but they tend not to start being a detrement.

Dan Pantry

They usually don't on me but I literally don't write any code at all for 2 weeks, and that's the first time I've done that

For a long, long time
