Q: Educational Manga

UhuraI remember, in kindergarten to first grade (late 2000s or early 2010s), reading a comic book from the public library.

Q: Why did they never let earth "know" in Stargate?

sterosI'm not a hardcore fan so please don't hit me if I'm wrong. But I think in Stargate the earth never knew that Stargates and Aliens existed.

@Jenayah I don't mind as long as you don't blame me

The original tag for this purpose was animation but it was getting cluttered and it isn't a great name so it wanted something better animated-series was the best I came up with

Stian GrønlundSome time ago I read a short story about humans' inability to understand alien culture/society.

You know the song?
 
No.
 
Well, you do now
 
That’s one way of looking at it.

I find that songs are more enjoyable when they're being listened to, rather than looked at.
 
Isn't the point of songs to be listened to?
 
T'was a poke on you talking about ways of looking at it
 
Ah, didn't realize that. Et chata-ai ani mazkir hayom
 
@Jenayah Some are better when you look and listen - as seen in the 1980s, with the advent of MTV.
 
@RDFozz uh... That might have been true at some point, but looking at those nowadays don't always indulge the same results ahah
@Alex ?
 
5:04 PM
@Jenayah It's a Hebrew quote; it basically means "I acknowledge my sin".
 
@Jenayah No argument - I'm just thinking of the number of things I saw on MTV back then that I then heard on the radio. Some may have made it on the songs alone, but I believe a number were greatly helped by the videos.

Q: What if Severus Snape finds himself in a situation where he had to fight Lily in a battle 1 vs 1?

zxkk7299This is a what-if scenario question. While joining Voldemort's side why didn't Snape thought that as a Death Eater he might have to face Lily (an Order of the Phoenix member) in a battle someday ? how would Snape handle such a kind of situation where he had to fight Lily ?

 
@Alex a mea culpa then. okay!
@Donald.McLean I dunno
 
@Jenayah They both have a tendency towards long musical intros. In "Elmer's Tune" the vocals don't start until 1:04, and in Jump they don't start until about 0:28. In most songs, the vocals start within the first 5-10 seconds.
 
@Jenayah That may be closer to the original quote.
 
@Donald.McLean ah, now that you point it out, indeed. I mainly listen to metal and soundtracks, so I don't find it strange to have lengthy intros... But now that you say it, indeed the intros are shorter on other pieces of music
 
5:52 PM
@Jenayah Now, the classical composers tend to have really long musical intros - the vocals often don't start until after the song is over!
 
ahah, true!

Is there any reason why Marvin would be different from Slarti?
Because it hasn't posted the question.

maybe it's in the feed's configuration?

@SQB????????????
 
@Alex Right
Unless it's gets into the RSS before it's deleted
 
6:19 PM
So what about Jenayah's example — posted 10 minutes after it was deleted?
 
Meta feeds don't get checked as often.
So it'll be in the pipe for longer before it gets posted here.
Main feeds are checked much more frequently.
 
Ah.
Pretending I understand.
 
That makes two of us.

So, the way I understand it, the new questions go into a pipe - that's the RSS feed. If it gets into the pipe before it's deleted, it'll get posted to chat when chat checks what's in the pipe. Different feeds get checked at different intervals. The time between checks for main questions is rather short, so it's unlikely that it'll get deleted before chat checks the pipe and posts it here.
The time between checks for meta, though, is much longer - so something can get posted, go to the pipe, and then deleted, before chat checks the pipe.
 
6:33 PM
Then it should be the opposite. Marvin should post deleted questions and Slarti shouldn't.
 
Why?
 
It would make sense if Meta questions get to the pipe faster, and once in the pipe they can be retrieved by the bot regardless of delete status.
 
Pretty sure the time for it going into the pipe is the same
 
So if a question is deleted after it goes to the pipe but before the bot posts it, it would get posted?
 
Yeah.
 
6:36 PM
So then there shouldn't be a difference between Meta questions and Main questions.
(Sorry if I'm driving you crazy.)
 
The longer wait means more time for the question to get deleted before being posted to chat.
Posts generally aren't deleted immediately after posting unless they're spam, in which case they get deleted (most of the time) before getting put in the pipe.
 
But the longer wait is only for the time between going to the pipe and getting posted in chat, not for the time between the original question getting posted and going to the pipe.
As per:
4 mins ago, by Mithrandir
Pretty sure the time for it going into the pipe is the same
 
Eh, I could just be totally misremembering this.
@Alex Right. So it can go to the pipe, and then there's a longer period where it can be deleted before making it to chat
But it's already in the pipe
 
But you said above that once it's in the pipe it's safe from deletion?

Richard CAt the start of Star Trek we see the Kelvin destroyed with its survivors in escape pods and shuttles. The next scene we see a young Kirk on earth. Has it ever been detailed how long the survivors sat in space for, did they land on a planet, make there way home themselves or get rescued?

Step 2: question goes into pipe
Step 3: question gets posted to chat

Meta has a longer wait between 2 and 3, during which there is more time for the question to be deleted.

6:47 PM
@Mithrandir But why would the wait time between 2 and 3 make a difference if it will get posted anyway since it was deleted after 2?
@SQB By "notification" you mean the chat feed?
 
Not... sure what you mean.
It's the exact same thing for both - except that there's a longer period where it's possible for a question to be deleted while it's still in the pipe, getting posted after it's been deleted, for meta.
 
@Mithrandir I can try again, if it's not annoying you.
 
We could give up and conclude that neither of us understands the way this works well enough :P
 
What would be the fun of that?
 
1. Question is posted.
2. Question goes into the pipe.
3. Version on main gets posted to chat.
4. Version on main gets deleted.
5. Version on meta gets deleted.
6. Version on meta gets posted to chat.
Because of the short time between 1 and 3, it's much less likely that 3 and 4 will happen in reverse order.
But because there's such a long wait between 1 and 6, there's more of an opportunity for 5 to happen before 6.
Imagine that the pipe from main gets checked every 20 minutes, while the meta pipe gets checked every three hours.
 
7:04 PM
Hmm, that explains why there would be fewer instances of main questions getting deleted before being posted into chat, but it doesn't explain why there would be a difference between Main and Meta if it actually happened that a question was deleted in the small window of time before it was posted in chat.
 
There isn't a difference between them... not sure where you got that from.
 
From the data I examined.
Namely, a Main question today that never made it to chat.
Unless that was because it was deleted so quickly that it never even got to the pipe.
 
I'm guessing it was deleted before getting to the pipe? Or it's a bug.
 
But I can't tell because I can't get to the question without the chat link.
 
7:10 PM
@Jenayah Thanks.
 
D'Arvit, can't see an exact timestamp on mobile.
 
you're welcome
 
It was apparently deleted 9 minutes after posting.
@Mithrandir Funny, with all the techno-explanation I was starting to picture you as Foaly.
The Meta example was deleted 10 minutes after posting.
 
Nah, I'm more Opal. ;)
 
So does that mean that the questions get to the pipe somewhere between 9-10 minutes after posting?
 
7:12 PM
Pretty sure it's a set time that's not related to when it was posted.
 
@Mithrandir I mean, who wouldn't clone themselves?

@Jenayah Yeah, you're more the Julius Root type.

No.
 
@Jenayah Actually, I don't imagine you anything like him.
 
Yeah, Jenayah's more like Artemis
 
'cause I'm short? :P
 
7:25 PM
Then you'd be Holly Short.
 
@Jenayah - Julius? cigar? I don't suppose the character has a shoe-polish mustache as well?
 
I don't remember if he's got a stache
 
no stache
 
But where's that picture from?
 
7:29 PM
some comic probably
 
The graphic novels.
 
Are the illustrations in the Graphic Novels always consistent with the information in the books?
(That is not remotely how I pictured him.)
 
Probably not
 
I was thinking of Lord Julius (from Cerebus) who's based on Groucho Marx (whose real first name was Julius).
 
BTW, @Jenayah, I'm 160cm tall. You're taller.
 
7:36 PM
But given your age, you might still grow more.
 
Hopefully. :P
I'm about as tall as my father now.
 
Then perhaps not.
But if you're Opal, you can always give yourself a human pituitary gland, and see if that helps.

No, because that might lead to awkward questions about the other 24600...

Well it doesn't entirely cover the regular gasses.
 
indeed, which makes for something like ray glasses or stuff
which is funny since the series my avatar is from has a character with ray glasses

It's angular
 
But it seems disproportionate.

Because she's bigheaded? *runs*
 
Eh, she is.

@Mithrandir Well, it seemed to cause poor zombie Alex pain, so....

@RDFozz I "liked" that message.
 
@Alex Adam would be "man", right? Does that mean Commander Adama has some sort of "man"-a, making BSG into a fantasy series?
 
"Adama" actually means earth.
 
@RDFozz Adam is indeed man.
 
Lowercase "e" earth.
 
9:45 PM
But I don't know Commander Adama.
 
@Mithrandir Fine! Ruin my atrocious pun, why don't you! :-)
 
in The Screening Room, yesterday, by Mithrandir
Big fat joke ruiner? ;)
 
This reminds me of a question.
 
@Mithrandir (Actually, makes sense. But, does "Eve" mean "rib" in Hebrew?)
In which case, a "Chili's Baby Back Rib Eve" would sound redundant!
 
I'm actually not sure how I'd literally translate "Chava".
 
9:48 PM
RD's theory of humor - If only one out of 100 of my "jokes" is actually funny, I've got to get the other 99 out of the way as quick as possible!
 
@RDFozz The Hebrew word is related to the word for life.
Thus, according to the Bible, Adam named her Eve because she was the mother of all life.
Instead, the word for "woman" is a reference to the being taken from man.
