Q: Does bankruptcy remove all buildings based on when their construction started or finished?

So, my economic policy has proved a bit a unstable, and I'm not several thousand gold in debt. I plan to declare bankruptcy, but I figure there's no reason to rush into things. I would like to capitalize on my credit as much as possible, so I took out several thousands more in loans and built a b...

If you dispose of them properly it's not too bad, especially considering the alternative is a much higher risk of getting food poisoning

Blade Runner 2049 is, as suspected, even more fantastic on a second viewing. Not sure why I waited so long to rewatch it.

user15026

(I don't think there's an answer, but I am curious.)

Dragonrage

idk, but they seem to have gotten longer

user15026

Okay, that's not just me feeling that then

user15026

I feel like Lazers has gotten sloooooow

Dragonrage

sepia has always been slower than normal lazers, but way slower now

and normal lazers is slower than i recall it being before

user15026

04:02

I wonder if something changed?

user15026

but I mean I have 0 idea how it works anyhow :P

Dragonrage

i havent seen anything about it on meta, but they could have increased the time between postings to chat

user15026

It just seems odd to do that, but who knows

user15026

like you'd think faster would be better so people see stuff as it happens so if like someone makes a toxic post people can see it and vamoose it

Dragonrage

@Ash i dont know 100% if this is how SE has it, but I would think that every question asked would raise an event which is listened to by the feed. and every so often it checks to see if there has been at least one event, and if there has, dumps all events into messages to post here

user15026

04:06

nods I figured something like that probably, but the time interval seems ridiculously large

Dragonrage

yeah, I will have to look on meta and see if anything has been mentioned about it

if not ill try and remember to post a question about it

user15026

thank you

badp

@fredley good luck with your job search; if you like, we're hiring, though probably not C-levels

fredley

@badp Don't know if I want another C-word job

badp

09:22

sounds thoroughly unpleasant tbh

fredley

@badp It can be the best, but also the worst. It all comes down to the interpersonal relationships with the other C-words. If it's good, the autonomy is incredible. If it's bad the toxicity, well...

badp

one of the good things about gsuite is I can load anyone's calendar, including our C-levels

@Ash Thanks for your years of service, this site has been privileged to have such a compassionate and dedicated moderator.

there is one last thing I feel I need to say in my official capacity

Kevin

Yeah, I saw it coming but wasn't sure until the meta post

It's always possible I misinterpreted something!

fredley

09:38

srsly tho as user 23 and chat user 27, we're losing one of the longest serving and most contributing members of the site, thanks for all you've given us over the years, the feelings of hate™ are completely mutual.

Kevin

I should probably stop pinning all the things hmm

badp

I really didn't serve in the last three years or so

speaking of goodbyes, YTMND is now down

fredley

@badp FWIW I can recommend getting a pro-tem diamond so you can continue to mod abuse in chat, without any of the real responsibilities of moderating

Because lets face it, the only reason anyone becomes a moderator is to troll people in chat

@badp This is very sad indeed

badp

@fredley that would take time from the void filler (remember when I whined a while ago about frens)

fredley

@badp Fair enough

@badp And yeah, having your void filled is more important than chat

@badp I'm really happy to hear that

badp

I mean they're moving close by because of the new cheap housing Amsterdam built here

not because of me

but it doesn't hurt

It's definitely because of you

@djsmiley2k we've driven off two moderators today!

djsmiley2k

From the chat? Or the entire site?!

I'm workin from home today as had dentist this morning

and having a mostly personal existance crisis.

Kevin

Well they're hanging in their diamonds, I'm hoping they don't leave chat/site entirely

djsmiley2k

wow jeez

Kevin

(I'm joking about the driving off bit =p)

djsmiley2k

se be like 'plz stop breaking our mods'

Kevin

10:10

And now, lunch!

Ronan

We are presumably the largest site that isn't work related, so I can see why we'd lose mods the fastest

Kevin

10:45

That makes sense

Chippies

@Ash yeah, wife has been wanting to paint it some more, but having a baby kinda makes that near-impossible, so there hasn't been any progress since I last posted a picture :(

I'd paint, but... I don't want to

Ave

I am bad with words, but @badp and @Ash, you are both amazing people and I very much hope that your decisions make you happier, because you very much deserve it. Thank you both for everything, and thank you to all mods, and another thank you to all of you, mod or not, active or not, doesn't matter: thank you.

tosses a bucket of stars in the direction of Ave, only one seeming to have sticked

Memor-X

*tosses own bucket of stars, same thing. predicts @Ave is going to be buried under buckets of stars with only a select few sticking to her*

Kevin

I've already pinned two things today, I'm not gonna pin another, we'll run out of pin-space!

Nzall

10:53

@Kevin I actually wonder if there's a limit to how much can be stickied

Like, there is only room for 10 stars, so can we sticky all 10 of them, or only 5, or can we sticky more even?

Ave

also ash, not the smallest of braves, not even one that is final yet, but I'm actually trying to move to a more development oriented job at work. I've been more than unhappy with my current position lately (and overall very much depressed as a result), not just due to what is expected from me, but also due to having to deal with clients, and even due to who the clients are. I think I may have talked about that more in private before.
I've been really scared to do this, but I've actually talked with coworkers who do do coding work about this and will talk to my boss tomorrow, and will hopefu…

Memor-X

@Kevin because of their size current i can only see 3

Kevin

I can see 5 stars (of which three are pinned)

@fredley then i still clear the "cache" *Ctrl + Shift + Del's from browser*

*does restart, fan revs to max*................

Yuuki

Wait, what's happening?

Nzall

@Yuuki AFAIK, Ash is stepping down as a moderator

hang on, someone else is also stepping down?

fredley

@badp is also stepping down

Basically there's going to be nobody left to hold back @Wipqozn

Nzall

ah, didn't know that

Yuuki

11:14

... maybe I shouldn't go on vacation.

Nzall

Though, fredley, I thought you weren't a moderator anymore as well?

fredley

@badp was elected in the first ever mod election

Nzall

Blue names are moderators right? And italics are room owners

fredley

@Nzall I managed to retain my diamond through sheer force of will, so I could keep trolling you

Nzall

Okay, so who's left as a moderator then?

fredley

11:15

@Ronan Millenial burnout

@Nzall Literally just @Wipqozn

@badp's been a mod since before the matrix was released

Nzall

And maybe @InvaderSkoodge

Raven Dreamer and Robotnik haven't been active for like 6 months by now

> elected 2011

Matrix was released in 1999

fredley

Literally nobody in charge, RIP Arqade

Place your bets now, how many seats in the upcoming election? 3? 4?

Nzall

So new elections soon probably? I'd joke about nominating myself since I'm clearly ill suited, but considering what happened in 2016 I should probably be careful with joke nominations. They might turn out real

Also, I'm not sure I'd even be eligible considering my history of chat mishaps

AND considering I've made multiple meta questions and answers on various sites about not wanting to deal with moderation

Yuuki

@Nzall Chat really isn't something that is considered for mod elections.

Nor should it be.

Nzall

11:32

@Yuuki I'm talking more about "is it good for the site to have a moderator who has a history of saying inappropriate things in public chatrooms, constantly tried to backseat moderate when that wasn't his role and has had multiple instances of being timed out, even up to a day, for saying things he was warned before not to say and has repeatedly expressed opinions on meta sites about not wanting to moderate??"
