...bah. Stupid mobile chat
Can a mod add a space to that, please?
 
Already did :P

I promise to never scream MOB ABUSE again.
 
MOD ABUSE!
Thank you
 
fyi, google chat is having an outage and some disruptions to google drive are being reported as well.
 
5:03 PM
@badp But screaming MOD ABUSE is the best thing ever.
 
@KevinvanderVelden You promised! bans
 
I wasn't screaming! I was all-capsing
 
@TimStone Fuck yeah, ban hammers all around!
 
@agent86 Awww
 
@KevinvanderVelden LIAR! You used an exclamation mark too; totally screaming.
 
5:04 PM
He promised to not scream MOB ABUSE, not MOD ABUSE.
 
I was just all-capsing really loud!
 
@badp Oh, true.
 
@badp you win, well played sir
 
@OrigamiRobot AFAIK a Lvl 2 needs to do an interview, a take the test, and observe you doing at least 2+ tournaments (unless you have a recommendation) before you can be certified for Lvl 1
 
I hadn't even noticed =p
 
5:05 PM
You get off on a technicality.
 
bows
 
EVERYBODY STOP SCREAMING OR IM TURNING THIS SPACESHIP AROUND AND NOBODY GETS CAKE
 
@Krazer Yes, this is correct. I was incorrect.
 
@agent86 This ship has no engines.
Only LAZERS.
 
5:05 PM
@agent86 MAYBE I HATE CAKE AND WANT TO DENY EVERYONE ELSE CAKE.
 
@agent86 I just noticed this myself. I am there and I didn't even know.
 
@badp LAZERs also exert a force and can be used as an engine
 
@badp [not-caking intensifies]
 
@KevinvanderVelden They're more efficient as a cake baking implement.

5:06 PM
Also, if you want to go back to Earth, what are you going to push against?
 
@badp the photons you are shooting
The emissions of the photons themselves is what causes the acceleration, not the photons hitting something
 
@KevinvanderVelden Well, there are two ways to do that
One way is to put the laser on the ship and use that for propulsion
 
@SaintWacko and we have already determined that we have LAZERs on board =p
 
The other way is to put a mirror on the ship, and use a fixed orbital or ground-based laser to bounce photons off the ship
That's vastly more efficient, but it is only one-way
 
@OrigamiRobot you are a monster.
@OrigamiRobot i have inb4 shielding.
 
5:09 PM
@agent86 I CAN PENETRATE IT.
 
@OrigamiRobot must resist urge to star
 
@KevinvanderVelden GIVE IN TO YOUR URGES.

@OrigamiRobot I normally would, but this blatant star-baiting cannot stand!

Q: Can I change my megastone accessory?

C-dizzleAfter you receive the megastone in the ring (Mega Ring), is there a way to be able to change the accessory the stone is in?

Q: Which doge represents what number?

FEichingerFrom the original 2048 it was rather easy to tell which numbers I'm combining - after all, it says so right on the tile. But now with doge2048 there are all sorts of doge. What doge is 16? What is 32? Is this doge secretly 2048 and the game actually keeps going beyond that? What's what?!

 
@fredley Thankfully, I created the tag already. :P
 
@Lazers rep bait. There, I said it

Q: Post editing for reasons other than clarity

monstoThe policy of "minor fixing" of posts is nebulous at best. It is on most SE sites. I'm fine with that. It's generally taken as "live and let live" by most users.

> What I do have a problem with is when people that are new to this particular forum see fit to play Mrs Biddle the 4th grade grammar teacher and go correcting posts -- anyones, really, but mine especially (since they're the only edits I tend to see) -- from 2 years ago
 
@OrigamiRobot I know, what a jerk!
 
SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME STARE EYES
 
@OrigamiRobot That was my favourite part.
 
I chuckled because the system already has what he wants in place. My edit was reviewed by two long term users (including a mod), who both could have rejected it.

@JasonBerkan It's almost like he was just throwing a fit that someone edited his answer.

@JasonBerkan About that account deletion...
 
>

I've modified the OP to link to the post-edits that started this. I am all for helping a non-native speaker, as I said above. Or, say, changing "u" to "you" for clarity. I'm also on board with "it belongs to the community". I get that too. The edits made did not enhance the post (If the edits were necessary for readability then a mod should have done it 2 years ago) and they came from a person that is not truly part of the community (with a 121 rep). Technically, he is (he registered); realistically, he is not. This encapsulates my point

Emoticons is a Unicode block containing graphic representations of faces, which are often associated with classic emoticons.

Q: How much space is there on the battlefield?

@GraceNote Our minor league baseball team used to be the Piedmont Boll Weevils.
 
@OrigamiRobot You had an awesome team.
 
> The Piedmont Boll Weevils would keep that mascot until after the 2000 season, when NASCAR racing legend Dale Earnhardt purchased a share in the team's ownership. It was then that the name was changed to the Kannapolis Intimidators, in honor of Earnhardt's legendary nickname.
Worst rename.
 
Wow, that's like when my high school went from having our mascot as the Unicorn, to our sports mascot being "The Mavericks".

Pretty sure that was more because our high school team was the Cavaliers. Cavs and Mavs.

@Lazers My dupe sense is tingling
 
We were a 6-12, both halves shared the same mascot.
 
I don't think my middle school had a mascot. My elementary school had a Raccoon, though.
 
I think our gradeschool's mascot was a panther

GnomeSliceI'm in a bit of a pickle. It seems someone playing on my friend's SMP server decided that it would be a good idea for him to do some testing with TNT.

SlowpokeMaybe it's just me, but I'm not sure.

Welcome to the Stack Exchange Podcast #56 recorded on Thursday, March 6th 2014, aka the 4th of Adar II 5774, aka the second day of Lent. Today’s podcast is sponsored by Patent Trolls of America. Today’s guest is Micah Siegel, Senior Patent Advisor at Stack Exchange and Professor Emeritus at Stanford.

But first, Community Milestones!

We’ve already talked at length about The Workplace, but it should be noted that the Workplace community has just graduated. They are now a fully-fledged site, so go check out their design! …

 
Is there a way to filter users by profile views?

@GnomeSlice So @badp finally got into game dev huh
 
@MBraedley Is this just a list of all users with less than 100 profile views?
 
7:18 PM
@GnomeSlice yep, but you can edit that
 
@MBraedley How do you sort which users have the most views?
@BenBrocka Heh
 
@BenBrocka This reminds me, I assume you've heard about this? davidsgallant.com/igtced.html
@MBraedley Wow, raven dreamer has a lot

Yeah, same.

@KevinvanderVelden yay!
 
@Frank Lies.
It has all the rejects it needs.
 
@Arperum Indeed. Much appreciated.
 
@Frank I seem to do more edit rejects then edit accepts.
 
7:46 PM
@Arperum As do I. For the most part, I leave them alone unless they're obviously good or bad, since they're so subjective.
 
> Arperum has approved 38 edit suggestions and rejected 42 edit suggestions
Frank has approved 506 edit suggestions and rejected 340 edit suggestions
My ratio is closer to 50/50.
 
Apparently, I've approved more than I suspected.
 
@Frank and people say you're not a nice guy!
 
@KevinvanderVelden And apparently I'm a jerk.
Because I removed a singularly unhelpful line from an answer provided last month. And pointed out that it was unhelpful.

In case you missed it, "Corporate Lifestyle Simulator" launched on Steam today. There's even a soundtrack DLC! http://store.steampowered.com/app/261880/
 
@Frank Yup, and sometimes you are rather blunt. Wich is completely normal. But you combine that with a user who takes everything as a personal attack, then you suddenly are a jerk.
But hey, helping them does work!
 
@Arperum Sometimes, yeah. Other times...not so much.
That line though..."If this doesn't help, go watch videos" is a seriously lazy way of saying, "Figure it out yourself, idiot".
That said, now that I've removed the line, I think it's no longer worthy of downvotes.
