There's no such rule that you cannot plant a sapling in unclaimed territory and become its king, apparently.

@IDrinkandIKnowThings here you go workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/55090/…

workplace.stackexchange.com/annotated-posts?tab=noticed

@IDrinkandIKnowThings I asked the mods to put that notice after someone offered a bounty to that 2 year old "working with women" question thus stirring the pot.

^ and here all posts with Post Notices (annotated), neat thing that tab. I love all hidden urls that we don't know that SE sites have :3

@DarkCygnus it was super close

under a min apart.

@MaskedMan that is awesome

the edit blew up my answer...

Actually I asked them to either remove the bounty or post the notice, because it made no sense to bring a controversial 2 year old question back into focus, they chose the latter.

Not sure we should edit a question so much that it invalidates answers given...

Tempted to roll that edit back

@MisterPositive ... and that's how we come a full circle on the discussion of saving questions through close votes or comments.

which edit?

the added few lines blows away the answer. The answer the OP was looking for IMO

I don't think your answer is invalidated per se @MisterPositive. It only appears a bit out of focus, but it does cover the main issue.

I agree with masked

@MisterPositive The OP himself clarified what he was looking for, I just reorganized it a bit.

you only answered half the question really anyway

thats why it seems out of focus

and you answered the part that was most blatently off topic

Besides, answering poor questions without improving them carries that risk.

I remember we had that discussion yesterday on my non-serious answer to that "should I take coding test" question.

:41167026 Look it up in the edit history, the OP did add that, though not in exactly those words.

well that is the only part that brought it close enough to on topic to reopen

specific tech or policy issues are off topic

@MisterPositive Anyway, you are knowledgeable enough to edit your answer to match the "improved" question.

@MaskedMan Dang, I should have done that and named it "New Kekistan"

we should invade it, conquer his kingdom, and rename it New Kekistan!

I mean it would be 2 on 1 and we aare from the US so we would have superior firepower

@MaskedMan that sounds a lot like a dare.

@MaskedMan and improved is subjective.

Also voted to Reopen the OS question

One more vote left...

Now that I had to do such a deep dive, I still think it a bit techy

I helped hope you dont mind

still very applicable reguardless of what OS he chooses

Its still to techy IMHO ( the question ). Your Edit is fine @IDrinkandIKnowThings

I will not down vote or interfere in any way on this one.

@MisterPositive Its a techy question at its core, but its one that is applicable to a wide enough base that it works

you taught him how to fish in an easy way. Its a great answer i think

@MisterPositive That's why it is in quotes. ;)

@MisterPositive Take another example: flextimings. You are free to work anytime you want, but if you take that to mean you can work from 9pm to 6am, when rest of the team works somewhat more "conventional" hours, and you don't even bother checking with your manager, then you are looking for trouble. That is the core of the ideal answer IMHO, and your answer covers both parts pretty well.

"You are free to choose your own OS" means "We won't place any restrictions, but we still expect you to decide wisely". It doesn't mean "do whatever the hell you feel like doing". ;) A lot of people don't understand the difference between the two whenever any policy has "flexi" attached to it.

fiNe

lol

@DarkCygnus it be gone now

@DarkCygnus aw man, I miss all the fun ones.

@ChrisE you enjoying this weather?

@MisterPositive oh yeah, it's like a colonoscopy but on the outside.

@ChrisE Never heard it put that way, LOL

yep. horribly unpleasant but necessary all the same. :)

Yep. Due for that soon sadly

getting older sucks

@MisterPositive yeah, everyone get them. Colon cancer, spread to the liver, is what killed my brother.

@TheSnarkKnight sorry to hear that.

I received so many video saying that cancer is deficiency of b17

My sister had it, she fought it but can’t have children, yet she is so depressed that she forgot happiness

Seems like User Erick likes playing L5R :D

Ughm I drank too much wine on an empty stomach. At least I'm in a good mood now.

When you do that it hits you harder

I'm starting to believe that your name is David...

@DarkCygnus Yep. Enjoying the ride though. Fist time in a month I don't feel llike bawling my eyes out. Gonna ride this out for about an hour until I come down.

Ride the Lightning you must
