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?

santiago

04:11

@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

M.A.Ramezani

08:03

@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

santiago

both of you should nominate

Martin - マーチン

o/ @santiago

M.A.Ramezani

Hullo @san and @Martin!

santiago

hiya!

M.A.Ramezani

08:14

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

santiago

seriously, both of you should nominate

M.A.Ramezani

@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.

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

@San you should do it too!

santiago

08:21

only if you two do it

M.A.Ramezani

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

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

What? Nah!

santiago

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!...

M.A.Ramezani

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.

santiago

08:26

and at least 31 ahead of me

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

M.A.Ramezani

Nah. You're a miracle!

A new user with this amount of contribution!

And also you're meta enough.

Martin - マーチン

08:39

@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.

santiago

hmm i will have to ponder this

M.A.Ramezani

@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!

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

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

Wildcat

Hi everyone!

M.A.Ramezani

08:45

@Wildcat Hullo!

Martin - マーチン

Hi there kitty!

Wildcat

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.

M.A.Ramezani

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

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

08:47

@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

M.A.Ramezani

Yes, there's that.

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

@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 ;)

Wildcat

08:48

:D

Martin - マーチン

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

M.A.Ramezani

They do.

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

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.

santiago

nice analogy!

M.A.Ramezani

08:50

Yup. That's me!

santiago

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

Wildcat

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

santiago

lol

M.A.Ramezani

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

Martin - マーチン

08:54

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

I'd even join...

santiago

likewise...lol

that should be a mmoderator criteria

Wildcat

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

M.A.Ramezani

What?

Are we?

santiago

red book?

M.A.Ramezani

IUPAC's red book, I reckon. @san

santiago

09:00

aaah

M.A.Ramezani

The new meta question made me count my score.

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

What's your score?

santiago

going to check now

my score is a mere 11

M.A.Ramezani

That's cool!

Mine is 14.

santiago

09:14

am catching up to you!

M.A.Ramezani

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO etc.

Martin - マーチン

Thanks for the update :D

I calculated that for myself now....

santiago

Martin - マーチン

Ha... that's a secret ;P

santiago

Martin - マーチン

09:25

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

M.A.Ramezani

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?

santiago

@Martin-マーチン you get conscripted

M.A.Ramezani

WHAT?

@Martin you do have convention!

santiago

lol

Martin - マーチン

09:33

@santiago Hahaha... well, well

M.A.Ramezani

@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

M.A.Ramezani

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

M.A.Ramezani

Another charming aspect of SE rules.

Martin - マーチン

09:35

absolutely correct

M.A.Ramezani

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

santiago

bwahahahaha

ron will get 41

Martin - マーチン

50, because

well, just because then...

santiago

ron and Klaus would look resplendent in their SE bling

Martin - マーチン

truuu

santiago

09:47

lol, I am close to the Copy Editor badge

M.A.Ramezani

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

santiago

LOL

Horatio Bobalinquin Sasquatch MacHinery Dura-dura Smith

Martin - マーチン

yeah... smith ;)

santiago

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

Martin - マーチン

Is that so popular in USA?

santiago

09:57

not sure, am not in the US

M.A.Ramezani

@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

santiago

I think variants on cthulhu should be popular

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

M.A.Ramezani

What was the quote of yesterday?

santiago

"better quote tomorrow"

M.A.Ramezani

10:07

Nah, it was from me.

santiago

that's a strange quote

M.A.Ramezani

> the burninating unilateral metal fist

santiago

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

cat-chemistry

M.A.Ramezani

Haha!

@Wildcat what are the main branches of your chemistry?

santiago

I am so tempted to make a wiki for it

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

M.A.Ramezani

10:12

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

santiago

omg... did I make a legitimate tag?

M.A.Ramezani

What was the tag you made?

Holy crud!

You made cat chemistry?

santiago

lol

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

M.A.Ramezani

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

santiago

LOL

M.A.Ramezani

10:16

I would've made the tag mar.

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

santiago

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

or

mar-was-here

@M.A.Ramezani

M.A.Ramezani

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

santiago

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

@M.A.Ramezani YES!

or

M.A.Ramezani

You think yes? o.0

@santiago Not now.

We have a hot election running.

It will distract us.

M.A.Ramezani

Nicolau Saker Neto

Hey hey

Wildcat

Fortran rocks by the way!

C sucks! :D

santiago

I dare you to nominate for mod

Wildcat

10:51

Do we still have just 1 nomination?

M.A.Ramezani

@Wildcat What does it suck? Air?

Computer memory?

GAMESS calculations?

@Wildcat Yes.

Nicolau Saker Neto

I'll take truth, not dare

santiago

ice cream?

Wildcat

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

M.A.Ramezani

Logical conclusion: Chemists are shy.

santiago

10:52

@NicolauSakerNeto the truth is you should nominate!

Nicolau Saker Neto

That's not how the game works!

M.A.Ramezani

@santiago Nah. I suck ice cream.

santiago

@NicolauSakerNeto lol

@M.A.Ramezani lol

M.A.Ramezani

Good. I missed @san's lols.

santiago

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

M.A.Ramezani

10:59

BTW tomorrow I've got biology exam.

After that, the last exam, is CHEMISTRY.

santiago

I am expecting a grade of A+ for both

M.A.Ramezani

Hehe, our scoring is only from 0-20.

santiago

I am expecting you'll get 21 on both

M.A.Ramezani

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

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

santiago

there is no spoon

you'll smash them both!

M.A.Ramezani

11:06

Well, bio is hard.

santiago

so, you'll get a 19 there?

M.A.Ramezani

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.

santiago

or 26

M.A.Ramezani

Or 34234254887599349.

santiago

or 10pi

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

M.A.Ramezani

11:13

I am studying.

And eating lunch.

And chatting.

santiago

and wrestling penguins

M.A.Ramezani

I was gonna say that.

santiago

suuuuuuure

still only 1 nominee

M.A.Ramezani

Ah man!

santiago

do it @M.A.Ramezani!

M.A.Ramezani

11:23

Fat chance!

santiago

doooooooooooo eeet!

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

M.A.Ramezani

Nominate, then sleep.

@Martin!

@MARTIN!

NOMINATE already!

Martin - マーチン

Don't shout at me :D

santiago

lol

gnite all!

Martin - マーチン

good night santiago!

Nicolau Saker Neto

11:31

Good night

santiago

oh and nominate all of you!

M.A.Ramezani

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?

M.A.Ramezani

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

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

M.A.Ramezani

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!

M.A.Ramezani

@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.

M.A.Ramezani

11:42

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 :/

M.A.Ramezani

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

Martin - マーチン

Haha... nope ;)

M.A.Ramezani

What the?

@Martin little LaTeX help...

Martin - マーチン

Shoot

M.A.Ramezani

11:52

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?

M.A.Ramezani

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

M.A.Ramezani

(1\,)

While I do \tag{1}.

Martin - マーチン

Well the \tag{1} should do

M.A.Ramezani

11:56

It doesn't.

It just shows (1\,).

Martin - マーチン

post the complete alignment please

the whole snippet

M.A.Ramezani

Oh wait...It worked. O.O

Martin - マーチン

Haha... sometimes things like that happen ;)

M.A.Ramezani

Are you nominating yet? Are your thoughts over?

Martin - マーチン

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

M.A.Ramezani

12:02

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

M.A.Ramezani

Have a nice rest!

LordStryker

12:59

Hi everyone!

M.A.Ramezani

Hullo @Lord!

Have you seen DA ELECTION?

LordStryker

Indeed I have.
