The Periodic Table

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ well those two symbols, whatever they're supposed to mean, are quite distracting :/

if you're worried of people taking you too seriously, how about keeping a funny name instead?

@GaurangTandon it's a famous emoticon

@GaurangTandon I can't change the MAR part of the name. I made a promise

1:31 AM

Huh. Don't get why @Gau's latest meta post got downvotes. Maybe folks want the previous meta posts to be concluded first?

Couldn't persuade myself to read it to see how I should vote

But, a whopping 20 percent doesn't seem to be a really high rate of closure for a tag

It would have been if the closure rate of all questions would have been, say, 4 percent

When did I end up teaching people statistics? Ugh

1:44 AM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ it's sad and ironic for a post - that explicitly calls for a proper response - to get anonymous downvotes

@GaurangTandon huh, every post calls for a proper response

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ it does, but sadly I feel several of my previous meta posts have been just me talking to myself

not all

but quite a few

@GaurangTandon yeah

Really man no offense

Like no offense

@AvnishKabaj ofc no

@GaurangTandon no I'm about to say the mean thing now

1:53 AM

@GaurangTandon or to a wall . . . That's what happens when an excited person enters a room full of sleepy heads

Most of your meta posts could be just addressed by pinging a super user in chat

Ping M.A.R

He's pingable

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ not exactly sleepy heads, but I guess this part of the year is that part of the year where academia is busy preparing thesis etc.

Meta and main are really quiet, especially because Mart and Jan are MIA. You can't easily decide policy and tag stuff with those two not listening

@AvnishKabaj scroll over my history and see how many failed attempts I have made; that said, decision about tags is supposed to be by consensus not just a chat discussion, so that part is entirely pointless

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ true that

@AvnishKabaj wow, is that the meanest you could come up with?

@GaurangTandon you mean you pinged me and I didn't respond?

2:00 AM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ no; i meant I wrote @[any-super-user]; but, tags are supposed to be decided by majority, not 2-3 people chat discussing, so, entirely pointless

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I sort of decided not to write the mean thing

thinking mean thoughts

I think you were going to comment on Gau's nose

What is wrong with you, jerk?

Looks don't make the man

For all I know gau might not have a nose

@AvnishKabaj 😲

I knew you were gonna comment on his nose

considering kicking

2:31 AM

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ there?

how do you review the close votes queue? quite so often a question comes up about a field i don't know

i find myself clicking "Skip" half the time

it's annoying

halp?

@GaurangTandon you often don't need to know the answer to the question or even what it's talking about to be able to review CV

When you do, just hit skip

Look for patterns common in crappy questions

hm ok

btw just reopen this question chemistry.stackexchange.com/q/92036/5026

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ put one vote

Q: Significant Figures, Counter Example

11:14 AM

Ugh

-1

Say I borrow 63 dollars from my chemistry professor. Can I pay him or her back 20 dollars over 3 days?

significant-figures

VTC this as OT

I mistook it for blatantly OT

11:44 AM

@GaurangTandon the tag wiki is

For questions regarding the digits of a number used to express it to a particular degree of accuracy.

I don't think it fits significant-figures

12:09 PM

@AvnishKabaj just see the meta discussion and sample questions asked

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ as "unclear", already done

@Abcd sorry I didn't get the ping for this

@GaurangTandon please see now ...

already doing

@Abcd which paragraph on page 171?

???

it doesn't mention entropy anywhere

3ñ5490

^ crack it I'll believe that you're a genius

12:27 PM

@AvnishKabaj i'll try this after mains

@GaurangTandon don't waste your time it's just entropy

@AvnishKabaj i still don't see the word entropy on page 171

uh nvm i thought it was Abcd

@AvnishKabaj your charge superscript was off here chemistry.stackexchange.com/q/92510/5026

this was the second time today i fixed it

so i thought i'd let you know

@GaurangTandon for some reason I thought that the MhChem package did that automatically

well it does not

12:36 PM

@Abcd I see the problem you're talking about; i have unaccepted your answer as my question is now still unresolved, hope you don't mind

Q: Can't submit a question

When I write a question and try to submit it, no matter which words I use, every time the system mentions, I need to use proper grammar. I have tried to write the question in different ways, but none of these worked. The question was: Why does nitrogen donate electron from 1s orbital if th...

Q: Simulation software for chemical reactions

10:12 PM

Why was "very low quality" flag declined on this post:

-1

I'm looking for a software that i might be able to learn from scratch,mainly for running a simulation of carbon sequestration to form synthetic fuel.Anyone please,

organic-chemistry reaction-mechanism computational-chemistry

Isn't it of "very low quality"?

And wrt this post, which flag would be appropriate? In Math.SE there's a flagging option "missing context or other details". Which is the analogous option here?

11:32 PM

@Abcd y u use $\pu{}$ you can't it's not allowed a trillion people get triggered especially Gaurang

@Abcd that one got closed

@AvnishKabaj Please see the latest ques in PSS.

@AvnishKabaj I had flagged it before closure

@Abcd ok have you not slept till now or are did you wake up early
