@Stormblessed I posted an answer there. My point here, though, is that in truth I don't think we should delete those questions either.

Q: Which weapon is first in the rankings?

AdamantIn Angel and Devil, we know that Excalibur and Iliad's Twin Stars are third in the weapons ranking, and that Hades's Hooked Swords or whatever is second. But do we ever find out what is first?

Q: What does “Blarek” mean?

StormblessedIn chapter 9 of The Alloy of Law, Wayne apparently curses with the word “Blarek.” Is this fictional slang, or is it some random mythological figure or something (like how “Ruin” is a curse) on Scadrial?

@Jenayah bulk-bought Thinkpads are super slow to do a lot of things like turn on the OS in my experience (but those ones I’ve used are mostly quite old)
They might be okay if they aren’t the cheapest kind

Q: Why did my reputation drop by 6?

I N T E R E S T I N GJust now, I was at 1408, then, suddenly, I saw that it had dropped down to 1402 with no notice in the reputation tab. Why did this happen?

 
7:11 PM
@Slartibartfast two hours late
 
@Jenayah which one?
 
@Stormblessed "balec" sometimes spelled "balek"
which is a shortened "bats les couilles", meaning more or less "I so don't care, slapping my balls would be of more interest"
(we're poetic like that.)
 
@Jenayah wait actually?
 
Errr. Yeah. That might be best to keep out of chat in the future, though :P
 
yeah... It's not the classiest swear out there ahah

Q: How did I vote 41 times in a day?

I N T E R E S T I N G How was I able to vote 41 times?

 
@Slartibartfast Presumably you voted on something that was subsequently deleted.
Also, that was fast.
 
8:05 PM
@Jenayah At the risk of letting something else slip, I have one.
 
Ah! So, good experience overall? Have you ran some games on it?
 
@Jenayah No games.
 
Alright. What about other stuff? Like, is it still okay in performances after X years, does it heat up like crazy, stuff like this
(my eyes turned to an Asus right now, though :P )
 
@Jenayah I haven't had it for multiple years yet, but it still seems to work the same. It doesn't really heat up (I assume because it has an SSD).
 
Nice
never had a SSD, looking forward to it :P

Though about once a week my mouse settings somehow get turned off without me doing anything. I don't know if that's because of the computer itself or something else...
 
Mouse mouse or pad mouse?
 
Pad mouse.
As in when I turn on the computer I can't use it.
I have to use the keyboard to navigate to Mouse Settings and re-enable it.
 
Mmmmh. That's unusual
Noted, I'll check whether there are other reports on those
 
Is there a Stack Exchange site where that would be on-topic?
 
8:23 PM
@Mithrandir Thanks.
 
8:38 PM
And I just got editing privileges on Meta.
About time.
 
And some day you'll get close/reopen votes there and it's going to be a civil war? :P
 
@Jenayah Nah, I've never much got involved in closing/reopening there.
I mean besides the ~10 flags for Blatantly Off Topic that I use every week.

@Jenayah What are you waiting for!!!???
 
@Jenayah The closing issues that I care about aren't that relevant to Meta.
 
Then make them relevant.
 
8:43 PM
I haven't seen Primarily Opinion Based really used for something not soliciting opinions.
I haven't seen Unclear used for bad questions or questions that don't support their points.
And on Meta it's less of an issue to duplicate something based on answers.
So that takes care of the vast majority of things that would cause a civil war.

How can I see my close reason on a question?
Why isn't this POB?
 
@Stormblessed after it's closed? I'm not sure you can
 
10:40 PM
@Zaphod You better get my bounty this time.
@Stormblessed I'd say it's more like the title doesn't really capture what the question is actually asking.
But if you think that it should be closed then you should vote to close it.
 
@Alex I did, it didn't work and I can't vote on it for a while
 
@Stormblessed How could it not work?
Or do you just mean that you were able to vote but it just didn't get enough votes to actually get closed?
Why would it be identified as possible spam?
In any case, @Stormblessed , you can always bring it up in Meta.

Q: Why did Voldemort try to steal the Philosopher's Stone?

d_hippoFirst, I understand that Voldemort wanted to use the Stone to restore him to normal life. But what I don't get is - why does he want to use the Stone for that? He had a wizard servant at his disposal, like he had with Pettigrew later, and he had his Horcruxes in place. Why did he bother with t...

Q: Fantasy book about an (orphan?) girl named Opal, involves gems or stones

user117118I don't remember much about the book but I read the book when I was younger and I remember really enjoying it so I would like to find the book to have the chance to read it again. I'll try to add as much information about it as possible. Things I'm sure of: The story involved a girl named Opal...
