@ElizB I think clearing out brush and dried leaves and such does help prevent fire from spreading in general, but yeah... not really practical. this post on outdoors se has a lot of good references on the subject :)
 
1:13 AM
Yeah it does but the state of California can't keep up with the entire forest... people can do that in their backyards
 
1:40 AM
lol yeah, that'd be a big job
I made french onion soup tonight for the second time ever and I just caught SO telling his gaming buddies how great it was, hooray \o/
 
@EmC yay! that sounds yummy. I had bacon wrapped shrimp, mixed steamed veggies, and tater tots
(potato bites)
 
the soup takes a few hours but totally worth it!
@ElizB that sounds good too! potatoes are great in pretty much any form imo :P
 
1:56 AM
@EmC sweet potatoes are the best :P
potatoes are good
speaking of soup i had delicious lentil soup from the can... but as you can see the result was less than pleasant
too much fiber from beans :P
 
uh oh :(
 
yeeeep.
oh well. it's done now, having my after-dinner tea called "strawberry fiesta" :)
 
sounds good!
I am knitting and drinking cider :)
 
yep! it's not super sweet, which is nice. when it's super sweet it's kinda unappetizing for me for some reason
cider sounds good :) but if my tummy had a bad day i don't usually risk it.

That will make the trash can too full. =)
 
good @WillHunting
:^)
 
@Jesse Oh hi, I believe we have never talked before.
 
A J
@WillHunting It won't. :P
 
I don't remember a Jesse and a cat. =)

@Jesse New avatar?
 
Probably right, hi I am Jesse and a cat
I did have an old one, but its been at least 6 months since I changed

Q: Do we really need the "approach" tag?

NoonI was going to the list of tags in the main site when I notice the "approach" one. Here is its description: For questions where the author is looking for a way achieve their goal. Such as to properly convey certain feelings or to inform someone about a problem. This tag is used on 55 questi...

 
@IntrovertedMetaMan. Not if you think we don't (@Noon's biggest fan)
 
@avazula Hehe :P How are you today? Did you finished/send that letter?
 
@Noon I'm great, thanks. What about you?
Nope. So hard to write. I have to explain why I wanna change names but it's very personal and I'm not comfortable explaining strangers from the Ministry that my father never took care of me. So I'm back to work and I'll deal with it bit by bit throughout the week :p
 
@avazula I'm a bit stress, I have to phone the agency of my apartment because of several problems with my flat but they aren't answering and I also have to write them a mail and I don't like the fact that I have so many problems with my new flat ><
 
@Noon Oh no! What's happening? :(
Phone calls for fixing problems are the worst
 
8:47 AM
Clogged toilet, leaky faucet, mailbox key that does not work (so I can not get mail), cleaning that was not done when I moved in and more \o/
 
@Noon wow... that's a lot :/
how many people are to live in this flat?
 
@avazula In this case, there is so many problems that I rather speak to someone about it, to make sure that they get handle properly
@avazula Just me
 
@Noon Sure, plus you need to declare everything that was wrong so that you won't be held responsible for them when you leave...
 
@avazula Exactly
 
When was the state of play done? In case you don't know, you have 2 weeks to ask for its edition should it not correspond to the actual situation of your flat
 
8:53 AM
@avazula I thought it was only one week? Anyway, it was done last Wednesday so I have, at least, today and tomorrow to send mails
 
@Noon I may recall it wrong? It's worth checking again. Anyway, I hope it'll get better and that it doesn't use most of your energy for the day. These situations are so exhausting :(
 
@avazula I haven't plan anything else important today so it will (probably) be fine. But yeah, I'm happy I didn't start work already (I'm starting next week)
 
@Noon And in case they drive you crazy you can always come here to regenerate :D
@Noon Next Monday?
 
@avazula Or grumble as a very French person :P
@avazula Yeap
 
@Noon I really don't know what you're talking about :D
@Noon Okay! I hope your new boss will let you have this window open :)
 
9:02 AM
@avazula I hope so too, especially in the afternoon when my brain will be completely fried
 
@Noon You too are most efficient in the morning?
God I don't know why we're socially obliged to work in the afternoon
 
@avazula Yeap, I'm mostly worthless in the afternoon. I even have a rule for myself who say: "don't code in your last hour of work, you are only going to break things/make it worse"
 
Should I be the only one to decide, I'd work from 6 to 1:30 :p
@Noon ooh, that's clever.
 
@avazula Should I be the only one to decide, I would only work 4 hours a day, all in the morning
 
@Noon Yeah, if we could decide of the duration of the workday, I'd not work for that long either ...
 
9:08 AM
@avazula I find that it's really a shame that people can't decide to work half-days for half the salary. I would say yes to that without thinking twice (granted that I would still work as an computer scientist, that is)
 
@PeterCordes : I think the idea behind that is more like "you did something I don't like, so I'll do this (that you don't like) to you". ie. you unplugged my monitor? I switch yours on! — OldPadawan 18 secs ago

JAD
@Noon you can't?
 
@JAD No, people won't take you if you say that you want a part-time :(
 
9:11 AM
@JAD @Noon On the other side, it seems that here in some companies, people expect women past a certain age (let's say 30) to work 80% max. I don't have a single female colleague older than 25 working full time.
 
@avazula Wow, that's weird. But 80% is still more then what I want to work :/
 
@Noon Yeah, I get that :/
 
JAD
you could do 5 hours in the morning for 6 days a week for almost 80% time :P
 
@JAD Except that most (all?) companies are closed on Saturday so, pretty sure that won't work ^^
 
9:40 AM
And in many jobs, they work 7 days or 6 days a week, not 5, which sucks.
 
@WillHunting Conclusion: Everything sucks and the world is a terrible place \o/
 
D:
 
:P
 
@avazula I had difficulty trying to figure out which direction the smiley was facing and what it meant.
So we have :) and :( and ): and (:
You see, that is why it is confusing!
Sometimes, I have to turn my head a certain angle to make sense.
But in Spain, they have the afternoon siesta after lunch, right? That is a nice touch.
I read about the protests in France about the rising tax on diesel, sad.
Some people got killed because they blocked the roads.
It does seem the world is in chaos, and even Western Europe is not spared from it.
 
@WillHunting let's not deform the reality here
One person died
 
9:48 AM
Oh OK. Only one? Alright then.
 
And the person who accidently killed her had a panic attack because she had to take her daughter to the physician and people were blocking her and hitting her car
 
Oh OK. I wouldn't use the word murderer though. =)
 
@WillHunting I didn't know what to use?
 
Yeah, I also don't know what word to use there. =)
But I think it's cool that Emmanuel married a woman 24 years older. =)
 
@WillHunting Well the protest is a complicate matter and you can't really summarize it with few word on a chat
 
9:51 AM
@Noon ^ this
@WillHunting And people do whatever they want regarding their love life IMO
 
JAD
@avazula hmm, according to news here she was underway to the hospital. I can kinda imagine you panic in such a situation, especially if it's urgent
 
@avazula The correct word is accidentally. This is a very common mistake!
@Noon I always have this fantasy that the world would be a nice place if it was under one ruler, someone like me. =)
 
@JAD I may sound very keen to conspiracy stories here but I don't trust the news. I listened to one of the news channel owned by the State the whole morning. The death happened around 10:30AM. At that time the news claimed the "killer" panicked and that it was an accident. 30 minutes later, the same news was saying that this woman got killed because of the violence of the protestation. The whole story completely changed in only half an hour...
 
@avazula In this case, maybe it is just reporters and journalists using the wrong words.
 
@WillHunting I'm not willing to discuss this here, sorry if that's disappointing.
 
9:59 AM
@WillHunting Well, the world would definitively be a nice place for me if I was the ruler of it, not so sure about the others :P
 
@Noon Would you mind accepting the mission of president of the universe? :D
 
@avazula I need to find out how she still looks so beautiful at her age. Maybe she has some secret ingredient. =)
@avazula I was only talking about the world, meaning this planet, but now you are talking about the universe? That is much bigger!
 
@avazula Only if I can tell people "Stop bothering me with your social interaction, I will not go out and meet other people!" :P
 
@Noon "Can I remotely work on this?"
"Oh, and one more thing: I won't take any fudging phone call"
 
@avazula You can't, because the human body is not a machine with a password. =)
 
10:03 AM
@avazula Exactly! (but only 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, the rest of the time consider that I'm not awailable)
 
@Noon "In case of an emergency during my time off, please refer to my cats"
 
@Noon Actually, workinh 4 hours a day for 6 or 7 days a week is not a bad idea.
@avazula "When my cats are off, refer to my dogs."
 
@avazula XD I was more thinking: "the rest of the time, please refer to my co-presidents"
 
@Noon "which is a cat"? :D
Antispecism is strong in here, sorry :p
 
@Noon You can be president of the world and avazula can be co-president. =)
 
10:07 AM
@avazula Yeah, name is Lucy :P
 
@Noon You have a cat named Lucy? How cool!
 
@avazula I was referring to your avatar, I don't have a cat (yet) :D
 
I read a story about how the owner of a dog died, and the dog kept waiting at the road where he died for months and months for his owner to return.
 
@Noon Oooooh! You want me to be your copresident? :O
@WillHunting Animals are incredible
 
And today, I read this very interesting story. Scientists trying to figure out why the wombat's faeces is cube-shaped. The answer might have to do with fluid dynamics. It's the way their intestines are shaped.
 
10:09 AM
@avazula Well, you have to agree to it, but yes :D Also, we need at least 6 other co-presidents so that we can work no more than 4 hours a day, 5 days a week!
 
Oh, by the way, I have a picture for you @avazula!
 
@Noon Is this the time when i tell you i do? Cause I sure do :D
erm sorry
 
My dad send me this, it's written "GO vegan" on the cliff
@avazula Ahah <3
 
@Noon (cliff :) ). Yeaaaah!
I'm not very fond of the paint on natural stuff but yay, veganism!
I also have stuff for you
Have you ever watched Super Pepette's video on the theory of the spoons for Aspie people?
I think you'd recognize yourself in her description
 
10:14 AM
@avazula Yeap, I already saw it, sorry :P
 
@Noon I am trying to figure out the size of the words and the cliff from the picture. Who could have written it?
 
@Noon I really liked it! What did you think about it?
Also, they started selling fake cheese at Carrefour's, and since I can't go to the organic store every week, I'm very happy <3
 
@Noon I think someone might have used Adobe Photoshop to add the words there. =)
 
@avazula I really like it either but my family don't seem to "get it" ><
 
Not that I eat a lot of this but it's nice to have some sometimes
 
10:15 AM
@avazula Nice! What brand is it?
 
@Noon Really? They watched it too and didn't understand? :(
 
@WillHunting No, my dad took the picture and he don't know how to photoshop
 
@Noon It's called "nature & moi". They do shredded cheese and flavored slices, they have fake cheddar, mozarella, goat cheese and so on
 
@avazula No, I try to explain it to them but you right, maybe I should just send the video
 
@WillHunting Haven't you ever saw tags on high bridges, that make you wonder how did anyone got there?
@Noon Yeah, maybe it'll work better. I realized that when people ask me how did I find out that I'm an aspie and what's different for me in the everyday life, they think that I have the same issues as anyone and that I'm just too sensitive.
 
10:18 AM
@avazula Yeah, the "you are just too sensitive", "you just need to force yourself/try harder" is really annoying ><
 
@WillHunting yeap :)
 
@Noon Tell me about it ...
 
@avazula There used to be a Carrefour where I live, but they closed it like 10 years ago. =(
 
@WillHunting Carrefour thrives in China but otherwise I think it's very restricted to France and surrounding countries.
 
10:23 AM
@avazula Do you know that there is a lot of "Casino" in Columbia?
 
@Noon Really? I had no idea, no.
 
@Noon Is Casino the name of a supermarket?
 
yes
 
@WillHunting Yep but it doesn't have the same name in Columbia. It's called "Carulla"
 
I really missed the Carrefour store here. It sold many things I like. The display was very beautiful.
 
10:24 AM
@avazula I was there for a month one year ago and was very surprise to find so many French food ^^
 
@Noon I bet it was a great experience?
 
@avazula I just email it to my mother, will see what she think about it :)
@avazula No, I didn't wanted to go but had to in order to get my diploma XD
I really dislike traveling to another country, it's too stressful ><
 
@Noon Oh no :(
 
@Noon France is so nice, so no need to travel elsewhere. =)
 
Weirdly enough, I love traveling. I think it's because when I do so, I'm on my own, and I love not having to justify myself to anyone. :D
 
10:30 AM
@avazula Yeah, well, it wasn't so bad. It's just not something I would have done if I had a choice :)
@avazula Yeah, not having to justify oneself is a nice part :)
@WillHunting For me, it's more a "no better place than home"
 
@Noon There is also a saying that "home is where the heart is".
 
Eeerh, I'm upset. That's a very interesting question.
 
@avazula Upset about the asker's problem?
 
@WillHunting Nope. upset that it's off topic because I don't wanna see this get closed.
'm working on how we could save it
 
Sometimes, making some edit might save the question.
 
10:36 AM
@avazula You can always try to edit in order to "fix it". Like "How can I talk to my SO about this double standard?" or "How can I ask my OS to stop this double standard?"
 
Other times, changing some rules of the site might need to be considered. =)
 
@Noon The thing is, I'd not edit it without OP's consent, but they haven't been active on the site since May 23rd.
I think it's a great way to salvage it though. Could you make the edit and notify them with a comment?
 
And we also can't edit it to change the meaning of the original in a significant way.
 
Since you got the idea :)
 
well, the key word is intent
 
10:37 AM
@WillHunting Don't worry, we know all this. We're doing this on a daily basis :)
 
If it means mostly what they wanted it to mean...
 
@avazula I don't mind if you do it yourself but sure, I can do it if you feel uncomfortable editing :)
 
@JourneymanGeek Yup. Which is why I think that editing + comment notifying is the best approach here, yes.
@Noon Please do then :) I'm of little shape these days, I skipped quite a bunch of answers in the VLQ review queue this morning. I'd not want to make mistakes here.
 
@avazula I will edit then :) And don't forget to take care of yourself!
 
@Noon Thanks dear :) Oh, don't worry about me, it's just like Kiki in Kiki's Delivery service, sometimes you have struggle practicing your skills. But it gets better eventually :)
 
10:42 AM
Kiki? I had a classmate named Kiki, lol.
 
@avazula Love that movie! And love the cat in it too :P
PS: Nice thinking for the link in my meta post :)
 
@Noon I'm writing an answer :) although it does not add much more than what you've already said
 
@avazula At least people will have a clear post to upvote :)

A: Do we really need the "approach" tag?

avazulaLet's burninate! I went through the first page of results for questions tagged with "approach", and it seems that there are two main patterns of usage of this tag: questions on how to approach someone about something, questions that use the tag because they're asking for advice on how to appro...

I love fire. Let's burninate.
 
@avazula XD
 
10:52 AM
You guys will end up thinking I never work
I shall admit this is a low morning
But I have a full afternoon of meetings, and this will require most of my energy so, may be better that I have a wide bandwidth this morning
 
@avazula My mom just answered me, she told me to do more sport ><
 
@Noon Wow... I'm so sorry...
 
@avazula Yeah, well, it's her answer to everything so, not really a surprise...
 
@Noon It's what my family told me too when I told them I was going through depression
 
@avazula What a nice reaction #sarcasm
 
11:01 AM
Here's a virtual hug, bringing support and warmth to your soul. You're not alone, I understand what you're going through and I support you <3
 
<3
 
I'm really glad I got to meet you! :D
TAS really is the best
 
@avazula I'm so really glad too! <3
 
I really hope you'll have a great time in Paris :)
It's your first time living outside of your parents' home, right?
 
@avazula I already got to eat in a vegan "patisserie", so it can't be that bad :P
 
11:05 AM
@Noon Yeah, this aspect of your new life will be great I bet :)
 
@avazula Not quite, I also lived by my own for 5 mounts but I was 20 minutes away from my parents and basically with them 3 weeks-end out of four
@avazula I definitively hope so!
 
@Noon Huh, so you already know a bit what it's like :) and IIRC, you have some family nearby Paris too, so you still have someone you could turn to in case of bad days :)
 
@avazula Yep :)
 
The more I think about it, the more I think we should start a company that'd be some kind of paradise for people who don't want to do 9 to 5 / who don't want to socialize on lunch breaks / who could have some not-work-related breaks without having to justify themselves / ... . Hahaha
 
@avazula Yep, we just need to find money to help us create this meeting app with no picture of one-self we were talking about :P
 
11:11 AM
@Noon Oh, right! That's a business idea :p
 
We just need funding and a good user base :D
 
We need to think about this. This would be the first step to becoming the presidents of the universe ._.
 
WE WILL RULE THE UNIVERSE!
 
:D
 
I can make coffee for you two when you rule the universe. I will be the coffee boy.
 
11:26 AM
Hungry. Lunch time!
 
11:46 AM
Lunch time is over ;)
 
12:01 PM
@Tinkeringbell I have 1h30 ...
 
That's a nice long lunch break :)
 
yup
The only thing I complain about is that it's mandatory :p
 
1h30 lunch would be bad for me
would mean I'd have to stay a full hour longer at work every day. Not great
 
@Magisch yes, that's bad. At what time do you finish your workday?
 
4.30pm
8.00am-4.30pm
 
12:05 PM
I'd love having those horaries
 
@avazula Yeah, that I wouldn't like either!
 
even now I mostly just sit out the break. I'm a coder. I take lots of small breaks to refocus
 
@Magisch This is the coder behavior. Code, code, code, do incredible things during compilation
 
I should get started on some rework ;)
 
whoa, mandatory 1h30 lunchbreak? that sounds awful
 
12:12 PM
@Tinkeringbell rework?
 
@avazula Code reviews. Co-worker is really sensitive to scope creep.
The 'Make it skip status X' thing ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell Wooh. Good luck then
 
@avazula more like code, read docs, search SO, code, code, refactor, read docs, compile, debug, test, code, code, read docs, search SO -> interspersed with random social activity on SO

my hubby's computer keeps turning on then when I hibernate it, it turns right back on not a minute later....
 
Ooh @Tink I'm digging the new avatar. You looked good with contacts, but I definitely prefer the glasses
 
Hahaha Thanks!
 
2:36 PM
@Tinkeringbell I thought they were crocheting ... I'm kinda disappointed :p
I started crocheting BTW! I can't believe I used to hate it. It's so much fun!
 
;) No, it's a picture someone found when I mentioned I wore glasses in daily life ;)
And with winterbash approaching, this one might be a little more fit for wearing hats ;D
 
@ElizB That is strange. Something is wrong somewhere. I never hibernate or suspend it. I just shut it down several times a day.
 
@WillHunting it's kinda hard to shut it down when there's projects that are ongoing
 
@ElizB Ooh, maybe that's why it turns on by itself, because you can't hibernate it when things are being run...
 
@WillHunting Perhaps.
 
2:44 PM
I have always wondered about things like whether the music will stop playing if I close the lid on the laptop etc.
There are so many such questions and settings, so I don't even bother to find out the answer. =)
 
depends on the setting you make, if you say when you close the lid it shuts down, then it will stop, but if you set it to sleep or not do anything the music will keep playing
 
@Magisch I prefer work hours like this: 9 AM to 1 PM, then lunch from 1 PM to 2 PM, then 2 PM to 6 PM.
 
@WillHunting I'm an early bird. If I was allowed to, I'd be at work by 6.30am
 
awkwardly Good morning, silence!
 
i'm a late-morning worker... actually starting work now....
 
3:10 PM
@WillHunting No, this has not been a problem before. I've got a couple ideas supplemented by a bit of research and I'll look into them when I get home.

Q: How can I disprove a statement that self-validates when I try to disprove it?

clickbaitContext: I'm bad at math. My dad makes me do extra math practice every day to catch up (he says that I'm "so far behind"). Problem: I'm honestly putting in my best effort. However, my dad doesn't believe that my poor academic performance (especially math) can be due to genuine stupidity and is p...

Why such a bad score?
Hum, might be because of the first version of it. Anyway, feel free to upvote if you think the question is good now.
 
@Noon see the comments--what is OP's goal? "Proving his dad wrong" isn't really an interpersonal problem
After your edit it's still not clear why OP can't just tell their dad exactly that...
But maybe I'm a little bias--that account doesn't have the best track record
 
3:28 PM
@scohe001 I'm pretty sure that OP already tried to say "I'm doing my best!" but the father didn't believe them. But yeah, maybe it's still lacking details
For the people who were "there" Sunday, you know that drawing I was talking about? Well, I'm about to post it! :D
 
@Noon WHERE?
 
For the people who aren't in the drawing, sorry, I didn't had the place to draw everyone :/

@Noon Now I'm wondering - Is this Liz in the flowery dress? Nice drawing BTW :D
I'm in love with this parrot
 
3:35 PM
@Cashbee @EmC @Tinkeringbell @ElizB @El'endiaStarman @Magisch @AJ @scohe001 @JourneymanGeek @avazula and me :D
 
Nice!! :D Great drawing @Noon :)
 
@avazula Yeap, that's her :D
 
:D this brings joy into my heart. Hurray!
 
@ElizB Thanks :D
@avazula blushing
@avazula Surprisingly, the parrot was easy to draw. And I had a very fun time drawing Cash :)
 
Damn, you made me look so skinny there, I love it!!
 
3:38 PM
:)
 
A J
@Noon nice!!!
 
@scohe001 Ahah :P Honestly, I thought you would be easy to draw but it was absolutely not the case!
@AJ Thanks :D
 
A J
:D
 
@Noon haha you pulled it off well though!! It's very clear who's who--you did an amazing job!
 
@Noon How challenging was the impossible triangle? :P
 
3:43 PM
@scohe001 Thank you :D
@El'endiaStarman The impossible triangle was not that hard (but I didn't manage to make it impossible so..) but the little "sonic" next to it was definitively more difficult (and don't look much like the original XD )
 
i think your triangle is in fact impossible
 
It definitively looks weird, that's for sure!
 
haha
the tiger triangle of weirdness
 
If it's not impossible, it's close! In any case, you definitely drew the "sonic" better than I would have! :P
 
@Noon that's very nice!
I'm probably hiding behind the tree...
 
3:49 PM
Incidentally, that sprite is a recolor of Sonic, and that's one representation of El'endia Starman. :)
 
@Cashbee Or the Marsupilami triangle of weirdness (if you know about Marsupilami?)
 
@Noon of course I know spirou and fantasio
:)
haha yeah that matches better
 
@RoryAlsop Thank :D The tree takes, indeed, a lot of place :P
 
@Noon !! so cool :D
 
hahahaha i never saw you were wearing headphones em c xD
 
3:53 PM
hahah dang that's like half the reason for my username :P
 
huh? how is that related?
 
@EmC Oh, that's clever.
 
@El'endiaStarman I'm curious BTW: what's the origin of your pseudo?
 
@EmC :D I'm a bit sorry I couldn't draw your head bigger, though. Like a big mod head watching us all :P
 
A master of ceremonies, abbreviated MC or emcee, also called compère and announcer, is the official host of a ceremony, staged event or similar performance. The term is earliest documented in the Catholic Church since the 5th century, where the Master of Ceremonies was and still is an official of the Papal Court responsible for the proper and smooth conduct of the elegant and elaborate rituals involving the Pope and the sacred liturgy. The master of ceremonies sometimes also refers to the protocol officer during an official state function, especially in monarchies. Today, the term (for a male or...
> abbreviated MC or emcee
 
3:55 PM
@Noon o: that's ok, I don't want to creep people out haha
 
That's what "Em C" is alluding to, and then it's also alluding to E = MC^2.
 
@El'endiaStarman yep :D
 
@avazula What do you mean by "pseudo"?
Oh, pseudonym?
 
@El'endiaStarman "username" (it's from french ^^ )
 
@El'endiaStarman yes Sir :)
Thanks Noon for precizing :p

@Noon Huh, interesting! I just interpreted it as "fake" since that's what the Greek/Roman prefix means.
 
@El'endiaStarman Well, a pseudonym is kind of a fake name
 
@El'endiaStarman I'm surprised you English-speaking people don't use "pseudo" as short for pseudonym
 
Ah, it's a Greek prefix.
@avazula Well, I haven't seen it. (Not much use of "pseudonym" either.)
 
yup - pseudo=fake, nym=name
 
@Noon Yep, at least I know that much! :P

@avazula typically it's used in English speaking areas more for things like author's names
not so much online
 
^ Yep, this. They're "username"s online.
Or "display name".
 
As much as I enjoy this etymology lesson, this doesn't answer my question O:-)
