Q: Is this Fireplace Safe?

I built a wood house that I'm rather proud of. I've built a fireplace that seem safe, but I don't want to risk burning my house down. I've seen plenty of tutorials online for making safe fireplaces, but most of them are more than 1 year old, and possibly obsolete. I tried reading the Minecraft Wi...

@GnomeSlice Touchscreens, computers, and cell phones all existed before the smartphone. Is it original?

Tristan

The asker never said he wanted to know how fire worked. He just wanted to know if his fireplace was safe.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot I'm not trashing the game... I just found that phrase amusing.

Wipqozn

@Tristan I think you are misunderstanding it.

Tristan

20:03

@Wipqozn Misunderstanding the question, or the comment?

Wipqozn

I think he is saying that he likes how you gave him an easy to understand answer, without cluttering it with any theory.

Tristan

@Wipqozn Hm... That could be it. It could also be more of a "I like how these answers covered all the bases." Maybe I'm just paranoid. <.<

Ullallulloo

EDGE's controls annoy me.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan I think he is defending your answer against the criticism.

FallenAngelEyes

@OrigamiRobot HoM gets you stuff in GW2, which is a good payoff for me. :)

@Tristan that's what he meant

FallenAngelEyes

@RonanForman Clearly this needs the opinion of @Wipqozn

This is not how I was expecting it to feel at all.

Grace Note

That is certainly the most negative reaction I have ever heard associated with that.

(Not to mention, I thought the earlier determination was that you guys were not going to get together)

Mana

my head is splitting apart in confusion.

The earlier determination was both her and me being under the impression that the other was not interested in the other.

OrigamiRobot

Mana

ugh, my knees are all shaking. I actually feel physically ill. This is awful. Something's definitely not right here.

Methinks this is something unrelated to you getting a girlfriend, then.

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana This sounds more like food poisoning than getting a girlfriend.

Grace Note

Even if it were a psychosomatic response, I don't think this would've been the correct trigger anyway.

Ian Pugsley

WOW. This actually just happened!

FallenAngelEyes

@Mana You gonna be okay?

Mana

After several years of being completely convinced that no girl in her right mind would ever, ever be interested in me, I suddenly have a girlfriend.

Grace Note

You should probably go visit the clinic. Play it safe.

Mana

That would probably explain the extreme reaction. I am completely unadjusted to this.

anyways, enough sorting out feelings on a public online chatroom, I'm gonna go to class.

@Tristan Requests expire if they are not followed up on in due time.

FallenAngelEyes

@OrigamiRobot I'm sure an enterprising folded robot such as yourself would express your complaints in a less capslocky manner. It's a question about policy that may be applicable to others, so I'd probably recommend a post.

@Origami If it's what I think it is, I'll poke someone at a later point to see if they're willing to re-read the flag, but the overall scenario is that I wouldn't put too much stake into the dismissal - we can still take action even outside that.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Right, it was already denied. I flagged this answer as not an answer because A) it is formated as a question and B) it is technically wrong.

Grace Note

Yeah, that's what I thought it was.

FallenAngelEyes

@Lazers ...well, aaaargh, I was planning on playing that soon.

OrigamiRobot

I just want to know when is wrong wrong enough?

Grace Note

You don't flag for a "wrong answer", ever. You only flag if it isn't an answer.

If it's just plain wrong, then you just downvote - moderators have no action to take on wrong answers.

OrigamiRobot

It would be a nice question (as I said in my comment) and Alex P answered it in his comment.

Grace Note

If it's not only wrong, but the greater essence of the post is actually a question, then you could flag it on that respect. But if its inquisitive nature is more of a "Hey, OP, wouldn't this work?" kind of thing not worth its own question, then I could see a flag getting denied. I don't know how much that his particular inquiry stands on its own, you'd know better than I.

Stack Overflow Blog: The Trouble With Popularity

Posted by Jeff Atwood on January 31st, 2012

Way back in 2008, we had Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, the founders and co-creators of Reddit, on the Stack Overflow podcast. We chatted about a bunch of stuff, but one of the things they said that always stuck with me was that Reddit always took an explicitly hands-off, no moderation approach to their content from the very beginning.

I found that a bit shocking, since I’ve… never seen that work. Certainly on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange we are very much pro-moderation — and more so with every passing year. We have literally hundreds of community moderators. We spend …

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot That's an exceedingly cheap mill.

agent86

@RavenDreamer, your physics horse thing is in this post :D

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote cheap as in mana cost or cheap as in cards milled?

agent86

although I'm having trouble determining if it's mentioned in a positive or negative light here, seems a bit mixed thus far... hmm...

Grace Note

Cost. 8 cards max for 4 of them isn't a huge chunk if your theme is around milling, but it's a nice start for only U.

FallenAngelEyes

21:13

@agent86 I... I don't think it's for the positive :S

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote and it's a cantrip!

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes yowch, I think you're right, it seemed positive, and then not so much, and now pretty much downright negative

:/

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I'm not actually aware of that term. The last time I ran Magic Set Editor was in 2006.

I played some Time Spiral and the one after that (WOOO GIANT KRAKEN BEAST!), but didn't entirely pick up on any new mechanics or terminologies other than "Exile" for "Removed from the game".

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote It lets you draw a card. It replaces itself as a card in hand. You dont lose card advantage.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote They've added a whole bunch in an attempt to keywordify for (supposedly) more immersion

like "Battlefield" and "Exile" and such

Grace Note

21:16

@OrigamiRobot So, a card that lets you draw while also doing something.

OrigamiRobot

@FallenAngelEyes I dont understand how "Mill" isnt a keyword yet.

It's a strategy, not an effect, is why.

Now I want to remember the name of that giant kraken beast, but I cannot recall it.

@RonanForman I'm guessing they're getting enough from you.

Wipqozn

Oh, that reminds me.

FallenAngelEyes

@Tristan It was a fun enough diversion (for free). I also like collecting things, and there's a ton of crap to collect in that game. >_>

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes: Do you play on PvE or PvP servers when you play MMOs which contain such a thing?

FallenAngelEyes

I wouldn't have paid full price+subscription for it though

Ronan Forman

It hasn't started yet, and seeing as my dad will be there I'd rather not, although if the were sensible and annoying...

Grace Note

21:56

@FallenAngelEyes Could you fish, though?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Usually PvE

There's in general less asshattery and less low-level ganking

@GraceNote You could not :(

Grace Note

That sounds like right the wrong game for you

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes yeah, same. I played PvP in Rift, and I really liked it... but I think that's just because I was on a good server.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn I prefer voluntary PvP

Wipqozn

I know in some games / servers you can't even do anything due to how bad it can get.

FallenAngelEyes

like arenas and such

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman - are you done with the spleef arena?

Mana

@Grace Your advice of going to the clinic was sound...I have indeed caught some kind of bug that's going around.

FallenAngelEyes

I don't really like mixing open world PvP and PvE

Wipqozn

@Mana Is it the love bug?

Grace Note

@Mana I'm glad you did go to the clinic.

FallenAngelEyes

21:57

Though admittedly, I did kind of enjoy rifting in Aion

Ronan Forman

@Origami I haven't finished decorating yet, although I can't put up the server right now...

FallenAngelEyes

But that happened on both PvE and PvP servers, as it was a basic game mechanic

Mana

@Wipqozn Funny guy. Although the effects did manifest themselves at their worst when she admitted that she has a crush on me, so...it might actually be the case.

Grace Note

@Mana Could be that in opening your heart, you also weakened your immune system for the moment necessary for the bug to stab into your actual biological heart.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn I'm surprised that wasn't a link to a certain video about love. One that gnome hates.

Wipqozn

21:59

@Mana Wouldn't surprise me. If it's your first GF,it may prove to be a fairly nerve wracking experience.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Yeah, it can get pretty awful.

Mana

I was just so taken aback. God, what a horrible way for it to happen. After acting like I was all disinterested and then asking her to confirm that she's not interested in me, she flipped everything on its head.
