You could technically get Snapchat, Egoist, and Lougin' Around all in one post

on Taco: I edited 3 questions w/no accepted answers. One: 10 months old; open; untouched for 10 months; my edit was a net addition of about 10 characters, and I left an edit comment. Two: 11 months old; open; untouched for 11 months; my edit was, literally, adding one period, and I left an edit comment. Three: 2 years old; open; last edited 8 months ago; my edit was a net deletion, and I left no edit comment. (At least) one of those gave me Taco.

I suspect Taco may be given for an edit with no net addition of text.

Good morning!

Good evening!

Please help click this, I'll stick around to pay it forward http://stackoverflow.com/q/41231676/584192

10:25 PM

@Rubio OO, good guess. let me check.

nope, just checked and all my edits are not net 0 characters.

@SamuelLiew Assuming you're posting that for Amped Up, 1/5

@SamuelLiew That's well on the way to being closed ...

Thank you @Saiid

2/5

@SamuelLiew clicked 3/5

10:30 PM

@DavidPostill Yes, indeed it is

@SamuelLiew 4/5

Thanks all, that should be sufficient :)

:)

Morning Samuel

Can I call you "Sam"?

@AndrewLi Good morning Andrew

@AndrewLi Yes of course

10:32 PM

Ok :)

@AndrewLi Can we call you 'Drew? ;p

And, no I don't like being called Dave ...

Andy is preferable :P

@DavidPostill Can i call you Sally?

lol. NO!

Can we possibly test the "this is fine" theory?

10:34 PM

I will answer to David

@AndrewLi Which theory is that?

@TheSharpieOne Can I call you Pieon?

@DavidPostill ok, but @David might get confusing :)

I am sometimes known as Uncle David on RA

@AndrewLi Yes, please tell us which theory you mean

10:35 PM

@Saiid You can call me whatever you like, just don't expect me to answer :P

@TheSharpieOne Alright Pieon :P

> Answering an open bounty question with an upvoted answer (possibly the lowest-voted answer, certainly no more than 6 upvotes) and not getting the bounty

@AndrewLi Someone start an open bounty

@AndrewLi any one have a open bounty ready to be given?

Sam has 2 open bounties on 2 questions where I have an answer

10:37 PM

I have two active bounties here ready to be awarded in 3 hours http://stackoverflow.com/users/584192/samuel-liew?tab=bounties

smart

I did not start any yet. :(

@SamuelLiew Are you not going to wait till the last day?

So you get the hat?

@AndrewLi another for then

@AndrewLi No, that ends before the 9 Jan

bounties only last a week

10:38 PM

I'm intending to start more

@SamuelLiew OHH so a bounty given on the last day of WB

2

@AndrewLi That is correct

I thought it was give the bounty on the last day of the bounty

Makes sense

I'll be dishing one out too on the last day

"The last day of hats" sounds so incredibly sad

oh no, let's not talk about this on the first day of hats

too sad

lol

10:41 PM

Indeed

I guess I'll also hand out 50 rep for a hat on the last day

They need a Fall bash where it's just waffles and maple syrup

That sounds sticky.

SE just made me do the "are you really a human" thing. Look at me I am a human!

Badum-tsss

@David A living, breathing, sentient.... gravatar

10:44 PM

@AndrewLi yah, something like that.

PS I'm going for the Maverick hat here.

The livesaver one is going to dreadful

Yah, last year it was hard. You have to really hope the OP comes back and accepts it.

Or just look at your unanswered old ones

Cmon baby 1 more upvote till 7.2k

this question has been updated, for those that put on hold

@David I +1 your answer, good luck getting the OP to accept

10:48 PM

I have a few old unanswered crap qs if anyone wants to take a shot for lifesaver

@TheSharpieOne thanks. Unfortunately I tried to make his question more UV-able, but not surprised some are not.

Has anyone seen the description for “Epiphany?”

> La Befana vien di notte con le scarpe tutte rotte

I wonder if it’s a clue to one of the secret hats.

That Latin?

Huh

according to google translate:

La Befana comes by night with broken shoes all

Yeah

ninjad me

10:50 PM

:)

@AndrewLi sure, I'll take a peek

Italian

on SO, or a different se?

@Saiid so

k

10:51 PM

Nvm I have one horrible one

@AndrewLi I was about to say....

@AndrewLi Huh? All of your 5 question have answers ...

Hmm, you guys have been busy

bunch of new secret hats found

@veryRandomMe UVed yours

@Rob very

"La Befana is an old lady who brings toys to children in parts of Italy on Epiphany night. The Epiphany is when The Three Kings brought gifts to baby Jesus.

The legend is that on their way to deliver presents to Jesus, the Three Kings came across La Befana. They asked her to come with them, but she refused, saying she had too much housework to do. She later realized it had been wrong not to go with them. So she ran off with her broom in search of the Kings, bearing her own presents for the baby Jesus. But she never caught up to them. It's said that La Befana is still searching for the baby…

10:54 PM

What is Tumbleweed?

The thing or the badge?

I'm going for "Third Time's A Charm", everyone upvote my stuff to hit the cap

j/k

the badge

@Saiid my question for last years hat should help

@TheSharpieOne then tomorrow you have -100 rep as all the serial votes are reversed.

Asked a question with zero score, no answers, no comments, and low views for a week

10:57 PM

hmm

@TheSharpieOne The best way to get rep capped is to answer something on HNQ. I got capped today ... :)

HNQ?

Hot Network Questions

oh

stackexchange.com/questions?tab=hot

10:58 PM

They generally get lots more upvotes :)

The trick is to guess which questions will become HNQ before it happens :)

Or just be lucky ...

I'm 89/150 for Legendary on SU, mostly from HNQ answers ...

Only 1 HNQ from me

There are only 2 awarded - I hope to get number 3 or 4 :)

HNQs are hard to get on SO

Yeah, too crowded ...

low quality:higher quality ratio is way too high

11:03 PM

lol

That's weird, I haven't got the Amped Up hat yet.

Huh

Give us a link and we'll click it

I already did

give us a new one

Wonder if there is another set of criteria on it

11:07 PM

Nope

nope

I think it's just bugged

There was a whole predicament today. Not enough clicks apparently

^^ exactly

We've had people get 10 clicks or more on a link and not get the hat

hmm

11:09 PM

Okay, let's try this with an upvoted question instead. Thank you for clicks!
http://stackoverflow.com/q/5113374/584192

Donezo

@Saiid it might be how SE counts the clicks, like if I click on it, but then just close the tab. it does not count.

maybe they are weeding out bounces

hmm

@SamuelLiew done

Ahhh. Take the time to read the awesome answer too then :P

Bluefeet is on the new podcast

11:15 PM

Wait, is it possible that you cannot get the hat for a question that you already got the Announcer badge for?

@SamuelLiew Why wouldn't you be able to get the hat?

Hats Stack Exchange

Q: Polymath under-reports sites

The Polymath hat is described thus: post at least one well-received answer on three different sites during Winter Bash (not including Stack Overflow) I just earned it on two sites: How did I earn a hat requiring activity on three sites on only two of those sites? The third site, and the...

discussion winterbash-2016

Do any of you know if deleted posts still count to your 'posts edited' and towards a badge?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@SamuelLiew yeah, that's really really broken

the amped hat

@SamuelLiew Is there any difference between that answer and simply variable !== undefined ?

11:28 PM

@Rob undefined can be overridden. e.g.: undefined = false;

this is sad.

Ouch. Well, looks like I'll need to go and update a few things

OH! I finally got Amped!!! wow.

Nice!

:/

The best list to edit from

11:34 PM

Just edited all my old questions and removed "Thanks in advance" from all of them

eheh

not sure if I did that

@AndrewLi lol

@DavidPostill You gotta do what you gotta do

I don't want to be a hypocrite, editing out "Thanks in advance" while my old questions contain just that

3

For anyone that wants free rep, I've got a couple questions on mathematics, and probably elsewhere that still have that

Math? Sure

I don't understand half of what I see on math.SE but sure

11:39 PM

lol

Hi!

Hello o/

Any idea on how to get They Live?

Consult the pinned google doc

They Live has been a bit confusing to say the least

Yea, does the try each option twice work?

11:46 PM

Dammit

Haven't done so.

I have too many pending edits

The crossed out one worked for me

But not anybody else, so it's incorrect criteria

:/ need to wait for a while

@AndrewLi I've used up all my suggested edits yesterday by reviewing 20 with at least 1 'Reject and Edit'

11:47 PM

@Panda also bluefeet said it wasn't correct

Yea

So...

You may need to ask someone else to test because I already have it :P

@AndrewLi Lol, np

@Saiid Any pending edits on SO?

I can check them out?

It didn't work for me either; I did at least one of each, but only one "Improve Edit"

I can post my review history if you want

11:50 PM

@AndrewLi That would be great :)

Haha, all over SO

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14644031

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14644028

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14644025

@Saiid Oops, I can review in 8 mins

@Panda @Volatility . i.stack.imgur.com/eazmt.png

Review limit :P

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14644024

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14643712

lol

11:52 PM

So, could be at least two of each

@AndrewLi Thanks!

np

Did you guys get elementary and 180 yet?

@AndrewLi It might be at least 10 reject

@Panda Dunno. Will have to test and see

Yea, I'll try it out in 7 min

@AndrewLi I got 180

11:54 PM

@Panda nice

What's 180 for?

@Saiid Your suggestion here - please don't suggest on NAAs.

Flag them and let them be deleted

NAA?

Whoever approved that... seriously

Not An Answer

ah

11:55 PM

Probably thought it was a question

yeah

For "This Is Fine", at least 10 rejects would actually make sense from the name

@Volatility AFAIK it's confirmed to do with bounties. See the google doc

Alexander O'Mara

Any new info on "This Is Fine"?

oh whoops, got the hats confused -.-

11:57 PM

I have new info:

(sorry, couldn't resist)

It's time to stop

No more

@Volatility I think you're talking about They Live

@AlexanderO'Mara Check the doc.

Yeah

I'm aiming to get Elementary next

11:59 PM

Does Amped up need to specifically be on social media (if so, which?) Or just sharing a link?

Make sure the posts you are editing are edit-worthy

Social media is blocked at my work :(

@Rob Nope

Chat works, I believe

I can confirm that

11:59 PM

@Rob It's bugged regardless, don't trust it

Alexander O'Mara

@Panda Are there new theories on They Live?
