3:14 PM

@Jonsca I have a question: Should I flag a comment that only says thanks. great answer!?

On one hand, it's noise.

On the other hand, I fear it's too trivial to waste your time with it.

What the? Who starred that? I thought nobody was in.

LordStryker

@M.A.Ramezani From a historical perspective, Chem:SE has been quite lenient/laid-back about comments to questions.

M.A.Ramezani

Oh, @Lord!

LordStryker

That may change in the future. I'm sure that since we've managed to grow quite a bit we may want to address that.

M.A.Ramezani

@LordStryker Yeah. That's another reason I ask.

LordStryker

I don't have a problem with it but I can see how it may become problematic if its happening a lot.

M.A.Ramezani

3:16 PM

Exactly. @Lord do you watch volleyball matches?

LordStryker

Deleting thank-yous can seem unduly aggressive and make us seem like a very cold community...

@M.A.Ramezani I unfortunately do not. I don't get television at my house and I've never been a big follower of volleyball not that I'm opposed to watching the women play or anything ;)

M.A.Ramezani

Or, it could mean that we're firm and we stick to the rules.

LordStryker

And then the rules may seem unnecessary or overly cold

M.A.Ramezani

They always do.

LordStryker

Its a grey area. I of course defer the ruling on this to the community

M.A.Ramezani

3:18 PM

Yeah. But another time. This time I'm only expecting @Jonsca's answer.

LordStryker

I'm anxious to see what @jonsca says. (ping me in your reply please) :)

M.A.Ramezani

I'm desperately looking for a bot for chem.SE chat.

LordStryker

Why is that?

M.A.Ramezani

For the sake of fun.

Also, it would be chic to have something like that report new user's late answers. (Most of which, are NAA)

Oh crud, I'm almost vote-capping in chem.SE today.

@M.A.Ramezani : Hi

M.A.Ramezani

3:27 PM

Ooops.

@Onthewaytosuccess Hullo!

I just approved a bad edit.

On the way to success

You are saying the one I edited ?

M.A.Ramezani

Yeah.

What is molatality?!

On the way to success

What is that link leads to/.

If you approve and unhappy abt it, simply undo it

M.A.Ramezani

Forget that link. The tag you created isn't useful unfortunately.

@Lord you there?

On the way to success

Okay, doesn't matter

M.A.Ramezani

3:31 PM

BTW @ontheway if you add a space after @ you won't ping the person you want.

On the way to success

Oh I see ,I didn't know it earlier

M.A.Ramezani

Nevermind, I see you pinging wrongly in a lot of your comments. :}

On the way to success

Ya I did it wrong

@M.A.Ramezani: Aren't you interested in maths>

M.A.Ramezani

I'm kinda interested, but only because of chemistry.

@ M.A.Ramezani: Then what is special for duplicate ones rather than other HW quizes? — On the way to success 12 mins ago

@Ontheway I meant that even if it doesn't get closed as HW, it'll get closed as a dup.

On the way to success

Aha

I get it now

Are you doing A/L or what?

M.A.Ramezani

3:36 PM

What's A/L?

LordStryker

@M.A.Ramezani Sorry I was talking with my colleague

M.A.Ramezani

It's OK. I wanted to ask you to edit a question.

On the way to success

@LordStryker: Hi

M.A.Ramezani

Ah man! I approved a bad edit on this. Could someone please add the appropriate tags? (choose improve edit option) — M.A.Ramezani 7 mins ago

On the way to success

@M.A.Ramezani : It is stand for Advance Level

M.A.Ramezani

3:39 PM

Oh?

Then how do you define Advanced Level?

LordStryker

hey @Onthewaytosuccess That is a very motivated name :)

On the way to success

Entrance exam for universities

@LordStryker:Of course that is why I am using it.

Give me few more minutes.

I have a work to do

M.A.Ramezani

@Onthewaytosuccess I've got them two years later. Am currently studying for chemistry olympiad.

Though I'll concentrate more on it after a few months.

M.A.Ramezani

3:52 PM

Welcome back @Mixcels!

On the way to success

@M.A.Ramezani: It means , already you are an university fellow?

@Jo 7: Hi

M.A.Ramezani

Oh, my! A plane! \o @Jo7!

Welcome to the chatroom!

On the way to success

@Jo 7: Are you a person in aviation industry? your profiles on the site seems like that

M.A.Ramezani

@Ontheway another note about pings: You should use three letters/numbers, without spaces for a ping.

For example, @on the way to success doesn't ping you.

But @ont does.

So, @Jo 7 won't ping him.

But @Jo7 will.

On the way to success

Okay, thanks

@Jo7: Are you a person in aviation industry? your profiles on the site seems like that

Mixcels

4:16 PM

@M.A.Ramezani Yes I am back....even though this tab was open all the time.

Breaking Bioinformatics

That moment when you realize you've been VASTLY overcompkicatibg your model.

*overcomplicating

M.A.Ramezani

Over whating?

On the way to success

what?

M.A.Ramezani

Oh.

On the way to success

4:37 PM

why?

M.A.Ramezani

@BreakingBioinformatics You've been VASTLY overcomplicating your model.

Now give me the reaction I'm waiting for!

LordStryker

@M.A.Ramezani If you ask nicely they might do cyclohexane for you: phys.org/news/…

On the way to success

xD @M.A.Ramezan

Breaking Bioinformatics

AAAAAAAAUUUUUGH.

@M.A.Ramezani Happy?

On the way to success

lol

M.A.Ramezani

4:39 PM

@LordStryker Asking nicely? Ultrafast? They don't fit my style.

Breaking Bioinformatics

@LordStryker You're computational as well, right?

M.A.Ramezani

@BreakingBioinformatics I'd been happier if you sighed better than that.

@BreakingBioinformatics No, he's a human, I think.

LordStryker

You wouldn't want to see a cyclohexane inversion with your own eyes? I'm surprised but okay.

M.A.Ramezani

@LordStryker It's like injecting an ampule. Scary!

On the way to success

@LordStryker: Where you from?

LordStryker

4:41 PM

I'm from the United States.

Breaking Bioinformatics

@M.A.Ramezani Wasn't sighing. I was scream/groaning.

LordStryker

I currently reside in the United States.

M.A.Ramezani

@BreakingBioinformatics Couldn't hear you. LOUDER! Please.

On the way to success

It means a forigner in USA

M.A.Ramezani

On the way to success

Oh I see

Are u a chemist @Lord

LordStryker

@Ont I am a computational chemist.

On the way to success

Is it worth to such a thing

Breaking Bioinformatics

4:49 PM

@LordStryker Yes! Company!

(well)

On the way to success

I mean isn'i it hard

Breaking Bioinformatics

(I'm more computational biochemistry)

LordStryker

@Ont Worth really is defined by what you enjoy doing.

Breaking Bioinformatics

(but sill)

*still

On the way to success

what but still

LordStryker

4:49 PM

@BreakingBioinformatics That is great! Computational chemistry can be very rewarding.

On the way to success

@Lord ; ya of course

@Ont Anonymous University ;)

Breaking Bioinformatics

@LordStryker REPRESENT!

LordStryker

If anyone here questions my credentials, @Martin-マーチン can vouch for me :)

M.A.Ramezani

@Onthewaytosuccess @Lords' university.

On the way to success

I also like to join that @Lord

Where is it @Lord

M.A.Ramezani

Where Lords hang and talk about chemcraft.

LordStryker

4:51 PM

haha I hate density functional theory.

I just preach glory of B3LYP because Martin hates that functional. :D

On the way to success

Ya you want to hate it, if you don't like it @Lord

M.A.Ramezani

Ahan.

On the way to success

kk

LordStryker

I stand by coupled-cluster methods. DFT is just a dirty dirty 'science'.

On the way to success

I have to leave

LordStryker

4:52 PM

Let me clarify, density functional APPROXIMATIONS are dirty.

The theory itself is exact, elegant, and amazing.

On the way to success

Yes they may be dirty, but now I want to leave

bye all of you

LordStryker

Bye @ont

Breaking Bioinformatics

Bye.

@Onthewaytosuccess sorry about the long wait was offline...

M.A.Ramezani

Hullo @JO7! Welcome to the chemistry chatroom!

Jo 7

Hi

I didn't actually mean to join this chat room.

M.A.Ramezani

5:54 PM

No probs.

Heh. Hullo Choppy!

@Jo7 Join us whenever you ran into a chem problem would you?

tschoppi

hisses at the light that is shone upon him

M.A.Ramezani

Is there a light there? You're walking on the beach.

tschoppi

I just wanted to lurk and observe

goes to a beach hut

M.A.Ramezani

Hah!

Too bad @Lord isn't present to accompany. Chat's been a busy lonely street these days.

Looks beyond the horizon

tschoppi

Don't you have other things to do?

a ship appears

Jo 7

5:58 PM

@M.A.Ramezani Ok thanks.

tschoppi

Ah man, this stuff reminds me that I totally wanted to build a world to set an RPG campaign in

M.A.Ramezani

Go minecraft go choppy!

LordStryker

Yo yo yo

@M.A.Ramezani Chat has been bangin' the past few days I don't know what you are talking about.

tschoppi

minecraft?

santiago

@M.A.Ramezani yes, but look at his revised question - it turned out good in the end

tschoppi

6:01 PM

hiho @Lord

LordStryker

\o @tschoppi How are things in the land of the Swiss?

tschoppi

pretty cheesy

heh

M.A.Ramezani

Pretty chocolate.

tschoppi

things are fine, I guess. today was a great day productivity-wise, I made a huge leap in stuff to study

M.A.Ramezani

I was just preparing dinner.

santiago

6:03 PM

@M.A.Ramezani that user's post was rescued from the deep bowels of perdition to be half way reasonable

tschoppi

and on your side of the pond?

M.A.Ramezani

@tschoppi A @Martin-like leap?

@santiago Was that the very post that da drama happened?

tschoppi

@M.A.Ramezani honestly, I wouldn't know

M.A.Ramezani

Morning BTW!

santiago

@M.A.Ramezani yes, yes it was

M.A.Ramezani

6:04 PM

@tschoppi He's a bit liberal in his choices.

"..."

santiago

What in the hell am I awake at 4am?

M.A.Ramezani

@santiago Why in the hell are you awake at 4 a.m.?

@santiago Oh, so I've found the monument.

santiago

the bolts in my legs have come a bit loose

M.A.Ramezani

Does it hurt?

santiago

a bit

but pain is like advertising in this case, can and should be ignored

I wonder how close I am to an 'Outspoken' badge

M.A.Ramezani

6:09 PM

It only takes five months.

santiago

eh?

LordStryker

@tschoppi Just another 'lazy' summer day over here. Hot weather and indoor climate control facilitates good computational chemistry research. :)

M.A.Ramezani

@santiago, my son, to be a real chat reg, thou needst be pure of heart. Thou shalt hath a soul as transparenth as water.

santiago

I have a soul?

M.A.Ramezani

I dunno. Do you taste like chicken?

santiago

6:13 PM

sometimes, am not that peckish to try

M.A.Ramezani

So you do have a soul.

santiago

btw, can someone fix this trainwreck? chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/33218/… - it is burning my retinas

M.A.Ramezani

Soulless people don't know how to taste.

I just asked them.

santiago

@M.A.Ramezani what?!?!? here I thought I was some soulless jerk

M.A.Ramezani

Son, you may seem ugly in the outside, but inside, you're the beauty of a pearl.

santiago

6:15 PM

lol, I am ugly like a fox

M.A.Ramezani

Fox you say . . .

santiago

You are the ellipsis king

M.A.Ramezani

KNEEL BEFORE ME!

M.A.Ramezani

Oh, a sitcom?

Where's my popcorn?

LordStryker

Okay, here's a fun one: You are offered $10 million dollars but you are now forbidden to ever wear shoes/sandals/boots/etc. of any kind for the rest of your life. Socks are okay.

M.A.Ramezani

6:29 PM

I'd put off socks.

santiago

commercial Do you have rampant poltergeists floating around your palace? eating your popcorn, giving you wedgies when entertaining royalty? Yes? Well, run like hell, cause they are coming to get you, Barbara... end commercial

M.A.Ramezani

Most of the me outside is on a bike, anyways.

@santiago Where's da music? It's no fun without a music.

santiago

@M.A.Ramezani poltergeists took it

@LordStryker $10 million and I get to share my foot pot pourri? sweeeet!

LordStryker

HA!

@M.A.Ramezani Need a music suggestion

or @santiago. Feel free to suggest as well

@M.A.Ramezani I would say once the "Thank you" gets stale (so after it's long been seen), they are fair game, but pouncing on them 5 minutes later is probably unreasonable

Aha.
