The Awkward Silence

@user58 Really? I had the feeling it was getting better, granted that I only look at new questions (also, I was quite busy those last 3~4 days, so I may have missed some now deleted stuff)

@ankii Seeing a "beige" dog, talking to a "beige" dog, is quite confusing. At first look, I thought you were the same person x)

How long are the drives? The longer the way, the higher the pay should be (if expected). As its a work travel, I would expect work to pay for it though. — XtremeBaumer 2 mins ago

@user58 never seen being used, it's always 7-8 votes comment, after comment deletion.

@Ælis haha, wish I was as cute as Geek, And not all of us wear hats either :)

@ankii Yeah, never seen it use on IPS either. Not sure why, maybe the mods don't really find it adapted?

Q: How can I try to get my coworkers to stop their jokes on LGBTQ+ people

I dont know if IPS has a theme with it

might be the human commenting(although canned) vs a notice

Context I have been in this company for 5 months now and I'm sharing an office with four men (35 to 55 y.o.). They all are white, heterosexual cis men. For the record I'm a white, 22 y.o., heterosexual cis woman1. There's been a viral video in France in the beginning of July where a bunch of pe...

Q: Answer with unnecessary picture. How do we want to treat them?

I am talking about this specific answer. I'm not talking about its quality here (I didn't even read it in full, just the beginning). What I find "questionable" is the use of those two pictures (even if they are, indeed related to the question/answer). I find those two pictures are taking way to...

@user58 Your searching/memory skills are impressive! 👏

@Ælis I just did a search for hasnotice:yes is:q

:P

@user58 so I've seen it once :)

@user58 Well, I'm still impressed, I didn't know that "hasnotice" was a thing ^^

@IntrovertedMetaMan Also, @user58 I believe you know the trick to make an image smaller?

Q: How to deal with messy flatmate

they haven't advertised the advanced search much

@Ælis going smaller makes them illegible

I am living with a very messy flatmate. It is a shared living arrangement, where we both pay rent to the landlady. Few instances: Taking out trash: She never took out the trash. Initial agreement was that we would take up the responsibility alternately. But even when I would specifically tell...

@Ælis if it's a stack.imgur image link, appending an m to the url works. https://i.stack.imgur.com/Lo8kf.jpg vs https://i.stack.imgur.com/Lo8kfm.jpg

see the latest edit on that answer

@JAD Oo

Thanks for the link @ankii!

Tetsujin's answer is not so well written, but it covers the required

Better stay on safe side while cropping names

Oh, you have exactly 888 IPS rep @ankii!

@Ælis That's lucky in some places in the world!

Q: Resizing an image in a post?

9:13 AM

Morning :)

@Ælis btw, you can append either s for small, m for medium, l for large. I do this all the time over on SU :)

Meta post for context:

Is it possible to resize an image in an answer? For example, How important is PhD research topic to getting a job? has an answer that should have the image in the answer, but it's too big. Is there a way to handle resizing?

@CaldeiraG we must not do that for those disgraceful posts where people post photos of code or CLI output

Right ?

This felt so awkward separated, rather than appended.

11:17 AM

@ankii You're right, ask the OP before editing it :)

but if you have edit privileges it's fine to edit since it won't come up on queue but still ask for the code/output written

Something like this

@Ælis I just posted this sandbox question. I'm fairly comfortable with the content, but the post is about me reconnecting with a friend who is in the process of a gender transition, so I'd love if you and/or @AGirlHasNoName could take a look to make sure I'm not saying anything incorrectly

A: Sandbox for Proposed Questions

@avazula It's people playing in the closet :p

@Rainbacon Sure, I'll have look :)

@Ælis Yea, I realized afterwards :)

@Rain regarding your latest sandbox question: did you invite them at your wedding?

1:59 PM

@avazula No, I completely forgot and I feel bad about it

They've been kind of "out of sight, out of mind" in my life lately and I'd like to fix that

okay :) no judgement here, it's just that you mentioned you ran into them at a few weddings so it made me wondering

@Rainbacon yup, my family used to have that. Fun times

Ugh, my computer keeps doing this thing where it will randomly lock. It's driving me crazy

@ExtrovertedMainMan @Rainbacon I'm not really motivated to write an answer right now, but if you are interesting, you can ping me in a few days and I might be able to write something up

@Ælis Scohe's answer is good, but doesn't solve all of my goals, so I would love to hear your thoughts. I'll try to remember to ping you in a few days

I should warn you though, I don't have much experience with the subject

So my answer will defintively not be a complete one

That moment when someone asks you to squash all the commits on your PR and then you have to do an interactive rebase and figure out how to compress 50 commits from 5 different developers

@Rainbacon I just remembered about this answer I wrote some time ago and I think it might be able to help you (even if it isn't about being transgender)

@Rainbacon I'm glad I'm usually the only dev on my project. Git issues sound really awful and scary
