12:00 AM

Damn, that's quite the steep access barrier to a TLA

@badp I'm allowed access to some TLAs, just not TBD

Do you have to become the CTO to use SOL?

user15026

@Mbraedley fair enough. I am used to writing English papers which are 90% bullshit

I think so, yeah

Awful.

Shirtless owls laughing are surprisingly relevant in engineering

12:01 AM

IDTTMWYTTM

Star supplies refreshed! Quickly, waste them all on yesterday's messages!

3

I CAN ONLY STAR THAT ONCE NEED MORE THINGS TO STAR

2

@badp How many stars are we allowed?

30 iirc?

what are stars? @badp

12:03 AM

The ones appearing by messages

user15026

You are all going to be sad when you run out of stars

2

You just got 2. For some reason

Yes. Yes you all are

STAR WARS! =D

@FEichinger so funny I wont star

@AshleyNunn Stars are like chocolate. You're only disappointed if you have none when you know you aren't getting any more.

12:04 AM

Luckily we've got plenty of room owners to clear silly stars, right? Right? Right?

@kalina gets so mad when she gets starred

@AshleyNunn I'm not using mine. I don't want to be sad.

user15026

@feichinger smart man.

@everyone what is the point of stars

@badp Isn't clearing mod-only?

12:05 AM

Messages that deserve to stand up from the rest

@Johann depends who is using the stars

so...

@Johann It varies, but generally interesting, funny, or important messages

@kalina It's so satisfying when you delete your messages just to get rid of the stars.

@OrigamiRobot die in a fire

2

12:06 AM

@dei fairly certain room owners can also clear stars. Which is why I'm not giving kalina the italics

Guys, cut it.

KALINA!

@OrigamiRobot I thought you could only delete messages within the edit window.

@badp Which is why kalina has italics.

I don't remove stars anyway, I delete my messages

12:07 AM

@badp Aaand, on that note, I can't seem to find it. Am I just blind?

Don't make me regret it then :-P

well how interesting

@Powerlord You can, but I make sure to star her while she can still delete them. It's so funny.

@badp I took no action to make you regret it last time

It's in the star list menu

12:07 AM

@badp Geez, you just hand out italics to everyone these days.

Like by every starred message

@badp Aaaah, there it is. Yes, I was blind.

user15026

@powerlord he went on a crazy spree this morning

OrigamiRobot has removed OrigamiRobot from the list of this room's owners.

9

Non-owner is the new cool.

12:08 AM

@StackExchange damn I missed my opportunity for payback

@AshleyNunn Do something about it!

@badp I never look at the right side of that line. I see the pinning and ignore it.

@OrigamiRobot ok cool. One moment, enabling gallery mode

@kalina All you have to to is add/remove me again.

@OrigamiRobot I would never add additional people to room owner, that would be like abuse

2

12:09 AM

@power power to the people or so they say

how much rep to be a room owner

@Johann its not rep based, it's trust based

@kalina You are the least fun room owner.

Not a matter of rep

AshleyNunn has added AshleyNunn to the list of this room's owners.

user15026

12:10 AM

@powerlord I am on mobile. :(

@badp clap clap clap

user15026

You spelled it wrong

user15026

Too many e's

Darn, I typoed @AshleyNunn once.

Ashley is a mod, no need for her to add herself

12:11 AM

does a mod have to add you

user15026

I am here forever! Mwahahaha

No.

@AshleyNunn That is a disturbing thought.

can I be a room owner

user15026

@feichinger you like it, face it

12:11 AM

@Johann The consesus is: No.

You are. In the flash games room

@FEichinger wait for the community to respond

@AshleyNunn Obviously! ♥

@badp I mean this room

@Johann The community responded pretty clearly in the past two days.

12:12 AM

You're awfully new here. Spend some time and blend in first

I'd be very surprised if that opinion changes anytime soon.

@badp I've been on stackoverflow for more than a month

This community is approaching the three years old mark

yeah so 1/36

user15026

Holy crap we are old

12:14 AM

1/34. Which is not exactly impressive :-P

Maybe 1/33

@badp Ooh, another yearling badge coming up!

It's late

well does anyone want to be room owner of flash game room

how to I appoint anyway

@mbr July 7th at earliest

Info. Access. Owner.

user15026

@feichinger you are spoiling me with all those hearts ;)

12:16 AM

@AshleyNunn Nah, I'm just getting less snarky about them. Need to change that.

@badp I don't think I get mine until august. I missed the private beta.

user15026

@feichinger awww and here I thought you were nice

user43095

Ooh, ooh, can I has owner?

@badp how do you receive invites

@AshleyNunn You should know me better by now.

user43095

12:17 AM

I've been here eight months longer than @Johann

@jeffreylin_ ok nice to know

ill star that

user15026

@feichinger I keep dreaming ;)

LessPop_MoreFizz

Hi chat.

Yo

@badp are you on flash games right now?

12:20 AM

I opened the tab but it's really late and I might be shutting down any time soon

@badp what do you mean

Sleep

writing a blog post isn't nearly as fun when you've been writing a mindless design doc all day.

user15026

But it will be awesome

user15026

Hello @LessPop

12:24 AM

@AshleyNunn The vote of confidence is much appreciated.

user15026

:)

user15026

@mbraedley that is awesome.

can someone please go on the flash games chatroom. Its a ghost town

I don't play flash games

12:28 AM

@kalina really

nope, never

they are quite fun

they do not have the required depth to cut through my ADD

anyone else up for flash games?

@Johann it's a risk of side rooms. Many have tried and failed

12:30 AM

@badp so true

Even rooms like Minecraft Talk have been frozen multiple times due to inactivity.

@MBraedley wow

What's the plural of series? @AshleyNunn?

Serieseseses

...es

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@MBraedley I don't think there is one

12:40 AM

"Bullshit."

@MBraedley series and series

user43095

@MBraedley Series only exists in the plural form. There is no singular form.

plural is the same word

@jeffreylin_ I care to disagree. I can have 1 series of episodes. Series is singular, episodes is plural

what about an episodic series

or is that redundant

12:42 AM

1 series ahahahah
_2_ series ahahahah
___3___ series ahahahah

Multiline formatting b bad.

Fuck you markdown, I'm not fixing you.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@OrigamiRobot Count? Is that you, Count?

Okay, I'll leave it as series. The Count has convinced me.

No, I've abandoned this joke. I'm taking my ball and going home.

12:44 AM

ditto @OrigamiRobot

on a scale of 1-10, how much drama are we having today?

@spugsley Hopefully -1,000,000. I haven't been paying attention

@spugsley I don't think there's much drama, but I've also been mostly doing my own thing.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@spugsley The drama will last forever muwah- *cough choke splutter*

Q: i can't break blocks in minecraft

My nephew got ahold of my laptop while I was playing minecraft and he pressed on random keys, so now I can't break any blocks. None of the suggestions or answers I find will work. How do I fix it?

Q: How do I glitch Phasewalk?

I've seen players who act like they're in Phasewalk (e.g., sparking with Brilliance, moving very fast, Phasewalk background sound), but they are carrying a weapon. Other effects include being completely visible and able to shoot and throw grenades. Further evidence that leads me to believe that t...

12:48 AM

@spugsley OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!!

@Lazers Huh?

On the drama o meter this rates as a ⅛

F---- would sleep instead

I need to be in Milan in 11 hours t_t

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp I can enable my Go the Fuck to Sleep script

@Lazers Didn't we have that question yesterday already?

@FEichinger That's what I thought

12:51 AM

@FEichinger We did. I think.

From the same person

@YiJiang'sEvilClone would you like my "Count The Fuck to Ten" story to go with it?

We closed it because it was a wall of text, so at least this one doesn't have that problem

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Q: How do I enable shooting while Phasewalking?

I don't mean "how do I glitch Phasewalk", but once I've glitched it, what actions must one take to activate the ability to shoot and throw grenades while glitching Phasewalk? Such activation that lasts for the rest of one's stay. In Borderlands, there is a class called the Siren (A.K.A. Lilith)....

@badp what time is it in your timezone?!

12:53 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone A little late there Yi

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@spugsley I prefer Hair Hair Everywhere

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Hair Hair Everywhere was fucking awesome. I was a boss at writing when I was 10

0254

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@MBraedley Well fine, if you don't appreciate me... *runs tearfully out of the room*

@badp my gosh get some sleep

12:55 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

@badp only an hour ahead of me, but I slept during most of the day

There's only one hour's difference at all times

woah mindflip

@kalina you sleep most of the day!

Q: Possessive and plural of "Series"

I'm looking at the financial definition of series: a group of stocks or options that have common characteristics. Source How would I form the possessive and plural of this term? I'm guessing it is series' and series respectively. Sample sentences, not sure of correctness: He purchased one s...

grammar grammatical-number possessive

user43095

12:57 AM

If you are talking about one series: "This series' value is unmatched"

user43095

If you are talking about multiple series: "These series' values are unmatched."

Of course it's on EL&U

why didn't I think of that?

@MBraedley I hate them.

user43095

I googled it.

don't go there

12:58 AM

anyone else boerd
