@AkshajSingla no... my call tune is from somewhere around the middle of this video

given that, iirc, some 40% of the population of India is under 18, and there are no vaccines approved for under 18s here, the claim that 100 crore people have been vaccinated seems mathematically suspect

@AkshajSingla no, I don't know how to read that

I can read Tamil script but not Devanagari

@AkshajSingla I pin the tabs for the chats I like to be in. So whenever my browser is open, I'm in the chat, but this does not mean I'm paying attention to it right then, or that I'm at my keyboard...

but I reply to messages eventually

yesterday afternoon I was super tired. Sorry I did not reply earlier

I moved some of the messages to this chat because they were not relevant to moderation

this chat is for random stuff haha

Hey @tripleee. Welcome to the Island of castaway thoughts.

BTW, @Zanna.. can you help me with JOIN in MySQL?

there's a very slight possibility that I may be able to help you...

you can certainly try telling me about your problem

@Zanna sure..

Check this: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/59474769#59474769

when I'm joining only two tables, just JOIN seems to suffice

are you getting the output you want?

Hi

I don't even understand the different join options properly

I just scratch my head over the problem for a while and fiddle around until I get what I want

@Zanna , You live in India and don't know devnagri ?

@Zanna yeah.. but I am not sure if I am doing it in the proper way..

@Algnis There are many Indians who don't know Devanagari :)

Oh I see

@Algnis correct

@Zanna oh..

What you guys were talking about ?

@Algnis SQL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

@RandomPerson unfortunately, all my knowledge of SQL comes from practice, so I don't know what the proper way should be. but I find that I only need fancy join options when there are more than 2 tables

@Zanna haha.. I found this.. joins.spathon.com

I guess if it works, you've done the job, and your teacher can give tips on improving

@RandomPerson yeah... I actually do visualise it exactly like this when I'm trying to figure it out

I'm really bad at understanding manuals and stuff... I really have to learn by doing

@Zanna I have no hopes on my teacher now. She is unable to take us to the computer lab in school (because of power issues in school) and she barely takes classes nowadays..

power issues? no current?

@Zanna the plugs in the lab don't work :(

@Zanna In my school also there are frequent power cuts

but fans and light work..

@RandomPerson in that case you can worry even less about it... when you are working as a database administrator you will muddle through and eventually become a joining ninja

@RandomPerson hahaha that's a mercy

@RandomPerson what the hell? that's terrible!

@Algnis aiyo

are you talking in tamil ?

@Zanna are you talking in tamil ?

haha does that count as Tamil? I mean "oh no!"

@Zanna well do you know govenment announced to reopen everything from 1 November

@Zanna I thought you were saying "Ayio" like we say in tamil sometimes

@Algnis yes

@Algnis I didn't know that

maybe I'll be going swimming after all

In winters ?

It is so cold here

But maybe in South it is summer

it won't be cold here

it won't go below ~20 Celsius

Oh !

today it's raining but it will reach about 29 still

Well what else is going in South , have the schools , colleges reopened ?

@Zanna Oh I see

yes they have opened I think but not all at full capacity... some lessons going online... I'm not really sure...

@Zanna my schools are still online !!! Of yeah !

@Zanna

@RandomPerson are you a mod too ? You seem to be really active and doing some modding jobs

@tripleee why are you so quiet ?

@Zanna in Punjab it is 13°

people often visit chatrooms without talking

that is, they lurk hahaha

@Algnis 🥶

@Zanna @Zanna What does it mean that they lurk ?

Who lurk ?

well, triplee seems to be lurking

Oh !!

Is Random person a mod

??

in AUGR there are usually several lurkers

How can I be a mod ?

@Algnis you can tell by the way their name is displayed in the chat... mods names display in blue with a diamond symbol

@Zanna Yeah

@Algnis well, everyone can participate in moderation :)

to become a diamond mod, you get elected by the community

But still I don't have privilleges to edit etc.

askubuntu.com/election

@Algnis you can suggest edits

@Zanna you were elected too ?

voting is probably the most important form of moderation - you can do that

@Algnis yes, in 2020 askubuntu.com/election/7

@Zanna Nobody do things to get upvoted , Many people just join community to get downvoted

?

@Zanna Many people on this website who haveore than 5K reputation is by asking some really obvious questions like "How to change directory in terminal" 600 upvotes Answer "Use cd command " 700 upvotes

LOL

@Zanna I mean asking off topic questions etc

@Zanna do you agree that obvious questions get more upvotes ?

@Algnis definitely haha

@Zanna LOL

Do you know what was my name before ?

@Zanna My name was Akshaj Singla before !!!!!

yes haha I know that

Good

@Kulfy Do you know what this mean @Zanna

Looks like Random Person left

@Algnis nope

@Zanna he wrote hindi in English , It means" if you have money then nothing is impossible"

what about travelling faster than light?

@Zanna What do you mean , I need to translate it ?

no... I mean, is travelling faster than light possible if you have money? :)

No

He said that becaus ehe know very few people know hindi

BTW kulfy means icecream 🍦

I like the new mobile chat

@Algnis yes... but I think kulfi is better than ordinary ice cream

Ya

It is delicious

although tbf it's a long time since I ate any dairy products

Milk icecream

I make ice cream and kulfi and whatnot from coconut milk / cashews / pista etc

Great I would like to taste :)

:)

Let me go and buy 1 icecream quickly

@Zanna I am having 2 ask ubutnu accounts one this one main one , And other was made by mistake , I am having 147 reputation on that too , So if I merge then my reputation will be increased ?

@Algnis I think so

you have to use the contact form to request an account merge

@Zanna haha.. I have a deadline to submit my project by tomorrow..

@Zanna :)

@Zanna yeah :(

@Algnis I am not a mod. These people are the moderators of Ask Ubuntu: askubuntu.com/users?tab=moderators. I am barely active in the main site nowadays. What do you mean by "modding jobs"?

@Algnis Meaning of lurk: "to spend time in a chat room or on a social media website and read what other people have posted (= written or added) without posting anything yourself" Source.

@Algnis I am not a moderator. Moderators will have a "Moderator" label in their profile in Ask Ubuntu.

For example, this is Zanna's profile:

this is my profile:

There is no moderator label in my profile.

You can read more about the labels here:

@Zanna yeah.. for example, Zanna's name in chat (notice the diamond):

whereas, this is mine (no diamond symbol):

also part of your name went missing

I think my name is in italics because I'm an owner of this room

@Zanna that has nothing to do with the diamond. Nate T discussed about this in the past. Probably in AUGR..

haha yes, but still

actually, I think my name is in italics everywhere

but room owners have italics in rooms that they own

@Zanna yup.

@RandomPerson yes... for me your name is displayed fully

@Zanna Mods know many things...

@Algnis yeah.. I was busy.

@Zanna well.. who knows.. scientists can invent something in the future.

@RandomPerson I did not need any special ability to notice that though

@Zanna what is coconut milk? I know coconut water.. but not coconut milk.

coconut milk is what you get if you grind coconut with water and strain out the fibrous part

@Zanna haha! yeah.. even I saw their profile name in the past.

@Zanna oh.. ok. yeah.. they say it as "Thenga paal" in Tamil.. I forgot about it.

@RandomPerson yes... I picked this example in case an interesting discussion might arise... I remember some years ago there was a result that produced a bit of a kerfuffle - some kind of neutrinos or something seemed to have travelled faster than light. Idk if it was later found that there was some other explanation for the result, but maybe. It's just that in the sort of currently standard physics, the speed of light is the hard speed limit of the universe

"kerfuffle" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerfuffle lol..

@RandomPerson one can add more water to the strained part and grind again and strain again and produce a lighter milk, but that milk is no good for making kulfi... it can be used for other things though

@RandomPerson oh haha I haven't heard of them

good name though

@Zanna kerfuffle in this chatroom?

the fibrous part can be dried into a flour, but I don't know many uses for it

@RandomPerson haha no not here... in the sort of science world in general

because nothing is allowed to travel faster than light

if something does, then physics is wrong and has to change

that would be hard work for many people hahaha

but physics has been wrong before and had to change everything

the current physics has got plenty of unsolved mysteries as far as I know

oh.. OK.
