homework vampire chemistry.stackexchange.com/users/11522/josh - 3 questions, without much effort, at lest initially

Nicolau Saker Neto

Indeed, but good job poking them to show their effort

If they do ask again in the future they will probably be more aware

Q: How is the announcer badge awarded?

How is it determined that a member be awarded the announcer badge? I've linked a couple questions that may have had the required number of IP addresses visit. How would the site know that I am the one that posted these links if in fact the required number of IP's have visited SE from my links?

4:11 AM

@NicolauSakerNeto I tend to downvote these, but reverse the downvote if some effort is then made, and upvote if they are particularly good changes

the latter occurs a lot thankfully

chemistry.stackexchange.com/a/32620/15489 <-- very helpful way to answer a homework vampire question

8:03 AM

@santiago Woo! Welcome back to the chat!

This is a bit worrying though. Only one nomination? C'mon! Step in!

Martin - マーチン

Give it one or two days... I believe some might need some time to make up their minds...

You can step in yourself @M.A.Ramezani

both of you should nominate

Martin - マーチン

o/ @santiago

Hullo @san and @Martin!

hiya!

8:14 AM

@Martin-マーチン Meh. They're a lot of people that are worth this position, better than me.

seriously, both of you should nominate

@Martin should. Me, not so much.

Martin - マーチン

@santiago Thanks for your vote of confidence :D

I believe you can do it, too.

me?? nah...too crazy, but thank you!

@San you should do it too!

8:21 AM

only if you two do it

@Martin will. I won't. I mean, why me?

@M.A.Ramezani are you kidding? You rock!

What? Nah!

do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! do it! (pant pant) do it! do it!...

Well, what I mean is that there are at least like 30 people in chem.SE that deserve the place more than me.

If I nominate, I'll only suck votes from those guys, and that's not what I want.

8:26 AM

and at least 31 ahead of me

and for the same reason I am reluctant to nominate (and I am very new)

Nah. You're a miracle!

A new user with this amount of contribution!

And also you're meta enough.

Martin - マーチン

8:39 AM

@M.A.Ramezani and @santiago You are up there in the pool, of course there are others fit for the job, but your commitment to the site shows that you can do it. And I guess this is what elections are for, deciding on the ones who are deemed most fit.

hmm i will have to ponder this

@Martin and your contribution says you deserve it more.

I fully support any chat regs becoming a mod, if they promise to come to chat.

Even the sneaky @Wildcat. :D

Hullo @Wildcat!

yup, @Martin-マーチン you'd be an epic mod

Well, if I have to vote for three people, the first people that cross my mind are @Martin, @Manish and @Jonsca.

Hi everyone!

8:45 AM

@Wildcat Hullo!

Martin - マーチン

Hi there kitty!

So, wait. We have elections, but we don't have Mr. Putin on the list of candidates?! :O

Martin - マーチン

You only vote once M.A.

If any of other cool guys step in, like @Santiago, @Klaus, @Ron, it's gonna become really hard to decide.

I would struggle to know who to vote for - all are very good!

8:47 AM

@Martin-マーチン You vote for three people.

Martin - マーチン

But you give second and third preference

at least that's how I understood it O.o

Yes, there's that.

when I voted on SO, it was a 1st, 2nd and 3rd preference

@Wildcat He doesn't need no elections!

Martin - マーチン

Well wildcat, you can find him and ask him to become a mod...

clearly no election necessary ;)

8:48 AM

:D

Martin - マーチン

@M.A.Ramezani Great minds think alike ;)

They do.

way I figure it, it couldn't hurt to nominate

It won't hurt. It's an ampule, once being injected, it stings your butt, but overall, makes you feel better and helps defeat cold.

nice analogy!

8:50 AM

Yup. That's me!

i even wrote a sample question meta.chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/2778/…

Q: How to find out our candidate score

Nomination phase for the election of moderator is underway and before nominating myself I would like to see my candidate score. Meantime only manish has nominated himself for the election and his candidate score is like this candidate score 20/40 reputation 7k moderation badges: 4/8 editing badg...

discussion election moderators

@Martin-マーチン, when I find him and will piss in his slippers! :D

lol

Heh. After that Russia will order shooting wild cats on sight.

Martin - マーチン

8:54 AM

@Wildcat Hahaha... I would live to witness that :D

I'd even join...

likewise...lol

that should be a mmoderator criteria

@M.A.Ramezani, we are in The Red Book!

What?

Are we?

red book?

IUPAC's red book, I reckon. @san

9:00 AM

aaah

The new meta question made me count my score.

I saw - I would have a lower score - but still not too bad

What's your score?

going to check now

my score is a mere 11

That's cool!

Mine is 14.

9:14 AM

am catching up to you!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO etc.

Martin - マーチン

Thanks for the update :D

I calculated that for myself now....

<drum roll>

Martin - マーチン

Ha... that's a secret ;P

<louder drum roll>

Martin - マーチン

9:25 AM

I bet @ron will outscore all of us...

You got the Copy editor?

@Martin-マーチン ...Mere mortals.

Martin - マーチン

he is maybe only outscored by @Klaus

I am missing sportsmanship and convention from the tags

What happens if there are less candidates than positions?

@Martin-マーチン you get conscripted

WHAT?

@Martin you do have convention!

lol

Martin - マーチン

9:33 AM

@santiago Hahaha... well, well

@Martin-マーチン They usually give it a bonus time.

Martin - マーチン

@M.A.Ramezani Oh... hang on then another one is missing

You miss constituent.

Actually, no one has constituent!

Since there haven't been any previous elections.

Martin - マーチン

Yes that's it

Another charming aspect of SE rules.

Martin - マーチン

9:35 AM

absolutely correct

So no one's getting 40 from forty after all. Chuckles

bwahahahaha

ron will get 41

Martin - マーチン

50, because

well, just because then...

ron and Klaus would look resplendent in their SE bling

Martin - マーチン

truuu

9:47 AM

lol, I am close to the Copy Editor badge

If Ron nominates, I'll ask him to reveal his full name.

LOL

Horatio Bobalinquin Sasquatch MacHinery Dura-dura Smith

Martin - マーチン

yeah... smith ;)

I as going to say Jones, but that may have been cliched

Martin - マーチン

Is that so popular in USA?

9:57 AM

not sure, am not in the US

@Martin-マーチン Yes. I remember the first English book I was reading had a protagonist named Uncle Jones.

Martin - マーチン

I always thought the most popular is smith

Yeah it's right there... names.mongabay.com/data/1000.html

I think variants on cthulhu should be popular

Quote of the day:
"MMMMMMmmmm unexplained bacon..."

What was the quote of yesterday?

"better quote tomorrow"

10:07 AM

Nah, it was from me.

that's a strange quote

> the burninating unilateral metal fist

lol, I could not help myself a little while ago chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/cat-chemistry

cat-chemistry

Haha!

@Wildcat what are the main branches of your chemistry?

I am so tempted to make a wiki for it

For questions that involve chemical principles directly or indirectly involving a cat

10:12 AM

...The cat is usually 7lbs according to IUPAC standards.

omg... did I make a legitimate tag?

What was the tag you made?

Holy crud!

You made cat chemistry?

lol

Sorry @M.A.Ramezani it was a too purr-fect of an opportunity ;D — santiago 32 secs ago

Hehe...I wish we could slip away from rules sometimes.

LOL

10:16 AM

I would've made the tag mar.

Tag description: For questions relating to the obscure properties of MAR-like cyclohexanes.

I would make the tag do-mah-homework-cause-i-am-a-lazy-toadstool

or

mar-was-here

@M.A.Ramezani

Oh, what do you think of a tag named warning-santiago-editing

hey @M.A.Ramezani I am thinking of a meta post about people's interests and expertise

@M.A.Ramezani YES!

or

You think yes? o.0

@santiago Not now.

We have a hot election running.

It will distract us.

Or the election.

shhh-be-vewwy-vewwy-quiet-santiago-is-hunting-homework-vampires

10:24 AM

What do you hunt with?

the usual, pitchfork, stake, thesaurus

@M.A.Ramezani true dat

that tag I made above needs to be pinned

No way!

lol chicken

lol

lol

Good tag...Description: For questions regarding Lymphocytes Or Lagrange.

ha ha ha hardy mar mar

hey @M.A.Ramezani I walked 4km today

10:37 AM

Hey @Santiago I walked five meters today

not bad, not bad at all!

Welcome back @Wildcat from Winkabearia!

@M.A.Ramezani :D

I see a @Wildcat watching the chat room, scoping out his prey... a tasty @M.A.Ramezani

Stupid-stupid NWChem! Burn in hell! :(

10:39 AM

@santiago Wut? Are chair cyclohexanes delicious?

Bites himself

Akh!

@M.A.Ramezani taste like chicken

I taste like cyclohexane!

@Wildcat What's NWChem?

Normandy Winters Chem?

north west chem?

yes

nwchem-sw.org/index.php/Main_Page

this one

awful memory specifications

couldn't run frequency job on a big molecule

something is wrong, presumably not enough memory

@M.A.Ramezani will fix it

10:42 AM

but i tried so many different options...

Fixes it

what the? I got a gold badge on SO?

Marshal?

Or electorate?

electorate... must be the downvoting

> 160 up
540 down

10:46 AM

lol

541

Whoa you've got the spirit @santiago!

Do it for @Wildcat!

just dv'ed stackoverflow.com/questions/30729804/…

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ‌ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ‌ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

lol

@santiago, down voted it also. :D

Now i feel way better!

Thx!

:D

10:48 AM

I am 'stucked' here? what the hell is 'stucked'?

@Wildcat tis a good feeling

i KNOW i'M N00BYE PROGRAMMINGE TO.

URGNNNNNNNNNNNT

THANX BAI.

here is a great answer on SO stackoverflow.com/questions/2758635/…

Oh my! @Wildcat has 5 cents?!

Everyone in the world has got only two.

hey, the homework vampire is learning chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/32629/…

Ah damn!

10:50 AM

@santiago, the question can be closed as off-topic. :D

Now who wants to edit that much formatting?

Pretty sure it will eventually happen.

have upvoted @Wildcat's answer on SO

Hullo @Nicolau Green Chemist

@M.A.Ramezani it is all yours

10:51 AM

@santiago, thx! :)

Nicolau Saker Neto

Hello

hello @NicolauSakerNeto

Nicolau Saker Neto

Hey hey

Fortran rocks by the way!

C sucks! :D

I dare you to nominate for mod

10:51 AM

Do we still have just 1 nomination?

@Wildcat What does it suck? Air?

Computer memory?

GAMESS calculations?

@Wildcat Yes.

Nicolau Saker Neto

I'll take truth, not dare

ice cream?

@M.A.Ramezani, programmer's time and nerves mostly. :D

Logical conclusion: Chemists are shy.

10:52 AM

@NicolauSakerNeto the truth is you should nominate!

Nicolau Saker Neto

That's not how the game works!

@santiago Nah. I suck ice cream.

@NicolauSakerNeto lol

@M.A.Ramezani lol

Good. I missed @san's lols.

I have got the vampires scared

29 mins ago, by santiago

shhh-be-vewwy-vewwy-quiet-santiago-is-hunting-homework-vampires

I am so evil

10:59 AM

BTW tomorrow I've got biology exam.

After that, the last exam, is CHEMISTRY.

I am expecting a grade of A+ for both

Hehe, our scoring is only from 0-20.

I am expecting you'll get 21 on both

There are no such things as A, B, C etc.

@santiago I'll get 25 to make you wrong.

there is no spoon

you'll smash them both!

11:06 AM

Well, bio is hard.

so, you'll get a 19 there?

Chem is full of memorizable thingies, so it's hardly a matter of knowledge.

@santiago I'll try to get my best. I'm aiming at 19.75 or 20.

or 26

Or 34234254887599349.

or 10pi

shouldn't you be studying @M.A.Ramezani?

11:13 AM

I am studying.

And eating lunch.

And chatting.

and wrestling penguins

I was gonna say that.

suuuuuuure

still only 1 nominee

Ah man!

do it @M.A.Ramezani!

11:23 AM

Fat chance!

doooooooooooo eeet!

anyways good people, I be going to bed, am tired and need to make a down payment on my beauty sleep

Nominate, then sleep.

@Martin!

@MARTIN!

NOMINATE already!

Martin - マーチン

Don't shout at me :D

lol

gnite all!

Martin - マーチン

good night santiago!

Nicolau Saker Neto

11:31 AM

Good night

oh and nominate all of you!

Have a nice dance!

@Martin are you nominating?

Martin - マーチン

I don't know... I am not sure... I really have to think about it

What about you, @Nicolau?

Hah! @Nicolau would make a real nice sneaky mod!

Nicolau Saker Neto

I'm not sure either, it's a significant responsibility, and my next year will be very busy

I have been unusually active in the past six or so months

Martin - マーチン

11:37 AM

It is... and who knows what comes next year...

Next year comes. That's easy.

Martin - マーチン

I think you would make a fine mod though

Nicolau Saker Neto

Problem is, there are limited positions, so just being a good mod isn't enough, I can't take the place of someone who could be an even better mod!

@NicolauSakerNeto Exactly.

That's why I'm not gonna nominate.

Martin - マーチン

You never know if you are not trying.

I think if you get the vote of confidence of the community, then surely you can be a very good mod.

I think we can all agree, that the ones currently running the show, are good mods.

11:42 AM

That's why you'll make a cool mod.

@Martin-マーチン Yes!

@Wildcat comes to chat whenever that NWChem messes up.

Martin - マーチン

Well thank you M.A.

@M.A.Ramezani I understand that, but it's not NWChem that messes up in my cases...

still have not yet figured out that gamess configuration for my pc :/

@Martin-マーチン It's the messes that make up NWChem in your case?

Martin - マーチン

Haha... nope ;)

What the?

@Martin little LaTeX help...

Martin - マーチン

Shoot

11:52 AM

I want to use the equation environment.

How do I use tag?

Is it \tag{something}?

Martin - マーチン

Are you using amsmath?

Well I wanna do it in chem.SE.

It should be the tag command.

But it doesn't tag well.

Martin - マーチン

Oh... okay

(1\,)

While I do \tag{1}.

Martin - マーチン

Well the \tag{1} should do

11:56 AM

It doesn't.

It just shows (1\,).

Martin - マーチン

post the complete alignment please

the whole snippet

Oh wait...It worked. O.O

Martin - マーチン

Haha... sometimes things like that happen ;)

Are you nominating yet? Are your thoughts over?

Martin - マーチン

I'll have a good nights sleep over it ;)

12:02 PM

Well, do as you wish, but promise to come to chat when you got the POWER.

Martin - マーチン

Haha... I can't see how that would change ;)

It's nice having it active here

Alright, I'll take a rest now. See y'all :D

Nicolau Saker Neto

See ya Martin

Have a nice rest!

12:59 PM

Hi everyone!

Hullo @Lord!

Have you seen DA ELECTION?

Indeed I have.
