@ton.yeung i think you have a 1,2,3 vote if i remember correctly

i've only voted in one

@ton.yeung I think so

i'm not sure though

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to

Unihedron

@ton.yeung Yes, but not on yourself

Toshinou Kyouko

haha

Unihedron

:o

Toshinou Kyouko

hooray

the more the merrier

Unihedron

Are you running for a tee shirt?

Do they still give them out anymore? :P

@ton.yeung the badge is for voting in election, not running

Toshinou Kyouko

17:26

if anyone hasn't discovered otaku dad yet: otaku-dad.com

Unihedron

unless you mean serving a year as mod

An SE tee shirt

But I don't think they give them out anymore

Toshinou Kyouko

you can get an olympic medal if you run fast enough

Unihedron

or at least a complementary medal

Taisho

Unihedron

four badges

no, that's for SO

Toshinou Kyouko

17:31

i think it's just 300 rep

Unihedron

Civic Duty, Strunk & White, Deputy and Convention are required to be a candidate for SO elections, but not other sites' elections

Killua

@Unihedron Isn't that for the big 3?

SO, SF, and SU?

Toshinou Kyouko

it's for graduated sites i think?

Killua

@ToshinouKyouko I don't think it's that broad

I'll check

Unihedron

@Killua negative

just SO

compare with stackoverflow.com/election/6

Killua

Oh, yup

@Unihedron wins

Unihedron

I'm actually right? This must be a fantasy

Killua

Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

Or at least, it was, before we stopped using analog clocks.

Now a broken clock is just blank.

Just change int to unsigned int. Problem solved

Frosteeze

@Killua you make bill gates angry

Killua

@Frosteeze At least I'm not a first-grader.

Frosteeze

@Killua if i am first-grade then that means i hang out with lolis

Chen Orihara

Killua

@ChenOrihara 45mins til nominations open.

Chen Orihara

Oh they said 8pm local time yday >_<

Toshinou Kyouko

JNat

It didn't change. It was always supposed to be 7PM UTC

I think

Killua

Or maybe it is 1h 45m. I can't really tell.

The hover-text still says 20:00:00Z

JNat

18:17

@Killua 45m

Killua

300 rep is the only requirement

JNat

Uhh.... so it's in 1h 40m

I looked at it wrong

Killua

:O

@JNat you've been demoted to demigod.

Unihedron

@ton.yeung you're not suspended, are you?

Killua

@ton.yeung Yeah I think they're using integer rounding.

... Yes. Integer rounding.

(int) 2.9 == 2

Frosteeze

@ToshinouKyouko sounansu

(Did anyone get the joke?)

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/…

> Sonans is homophonous with the interjection そうなんす sō na-n-su, which roughly means, "That's the way it is." It is played off by its pre-evolution, Wynaut, whose Japanese name, Sohnano, is nearly homophonous with the phrase そうなの sō na no, meaning, "Really?" Together, they make for a potential perpetual conversation of, "Really?" followed by, "That's the way it is," and so on, as seen in Camp Pikachu.

Chen Orihara

I got it, pokemon ftw :D

nhahtdh

That "stoned" in the middle of sentence cause a failure in my parser

Gao

how do you quote like that?

nhahtdh

@Gao Just view the message's history and you can see the markup behind it.

Frosteeze

making it false makes it weirder cause of the random tags lol

Hakase

html encoded

I'm staying coz of the horrendous GUI and how I can't switch between personal and work skype and office accounts without switching my user account

that is just unacceptable

Killua

Eh? Just use the regular version of Skype, not the "metro" version.

Hakase

18:46

huh

I also like Aero glass more than metro and I couldn't customize metro to look good

Killua

Yeah, the glass was a nice touch. I do miss that.

Hakase

can't you just use 7's version of window manager for glass?

Killua

Doubt it would work. I dunno if Win10 even uses DWM anymore.

Q: what's this manga about newly married couple's sex life?

I could not find the title of this manga anywhere. It's about the awkward sex life of a newly married couple. There are also sex-eds along with the storyline. It's an old manga, I guess, judging from its artwork.

identification-request

Hakase

I think the tech behind 10's transparent windows should be able to provide the glass look

Desktop Window Manager

Desktop Window Manager (DWM, previously Desktop Compositing Engine or DCE) is the window manager in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 that enables the use of hardware acceleration to render the graphical user interface of Windows. It was originally created to enable portions of the new "Windows Aero" user experience, which allowed for effects such as transparency, 3D window switching and more. It is also included with Windows Server 2008, but requires the "Desktop Experience" feature and compatible graphics drivers to be installed. == Architecture == The Desktop Window Manager...

Killua

18:49

Possibly. Haven't looked. If it is, it probably requires hacks of some kind to edit the DLL's capabilities.

Hakase

look into custom third-party themes, maybe they have found a solution

Killua

Eh? I develop with SignalR on Win10.

Hakase

isn't signalr included in .net 4.5?

Killua

@ton.yeung Oh, I thought that was a typo cuz you were concerned about W10. :P

Hakase

i c

well, that is… stupid or something

what prevents it from running on w7?

heh

askvg.com/… this shows how to enable a certain registry key to enable transparency and blur

idk if that's not already an obvious checkbox somewhere in personalization menu

Toshinou Kyouko

Hakase

you really should invest into molten bronze cauldron traps and war gates :p

I'd probably work for a private security agency if I did

people who want to ~~give up their private life for the site~~ become moderators throw in nominations

then you ~~try to make them not run~~ bombard them with questions

Matt

20:09

And then there's that too

Chen Orihara

so theres no voting till next week? :x

Matt

Looks like it

Killua

Correct.

Chen Orihara

Nominate now, discuss the election, platforms, concerns, etc. Then voting comes next week.

Toshinou Kyouko

@ton.yeung I don't wanna game the system - that ain't fun

we're sorry, but as a spam prevention mechanism, candidates aren't allowed to post images

It's there now ;|

senshin

20:23

@Killua Not quite. In the recent Money.SE elections, the nomination period ended without enough candidates ("enough" being "at least one more than the number of positions open"), so Grace Note extended the nomination period: meta.money.stackexchange.com/q/2108

Dimitri mx

Now time to head for bed, good night people :)

Matt

@Dimitrimx night

Killua

@senshin Ah. I guess there can be extenuating circumstances. (IIRC that's not a written rule/situation.)

Hakase

umm since when do comments automatically cut out @mentions?

Matt

You can only have one mention per comment afaik

senshin

20:26

@Hakase If you're @-mentioning OP and nobody else has commented, the @-mention gets removed.

Likewise, if you're the only commenter (besides OP) and OP @-mentions you, the @-mention gets removed.

Hakase

softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/22854/… I tried to mention the poster of this comment but it got redacted

Morwenn

@ToshinouKyouko I like your description in your moderator candidature :3

Hakase

I'm not against banning id requests at this point

Madara Uchiha

@ton.yeung So do I.

I personally think that they're noise.

JNat

@Hakase We'll be hearing about it

Madara Uchiha

@ton.yeung noise is by definition bad on a Stack Exchange site.

They're questions that are very hard to search, helpful to very few users, and despite common opposition, are spreading faster than we can handle them.

@ton.yeung I didn't it would be blocked. Otherwise I would have uploaded it instead :/

Ok, that was some really messed up English...

uh-huh

Morwenn

@ton.yeung It's what Matt posted. But since I found the image on Google image, it probably blocked the site it comes from. Next time I'll use the upload function.

Killua

Disregard, I'm dumb.

It's because people tend to view the higher parts on the page more, so it's better to introduce new members there.

Hint: don't rub your eyes with them.

@Hakase try rubbing the fingers against a stainless steel knife under running water

Hakase

huh how is that supposed to work chemically?

Vogel612

@Hakase there you go

Hakase

that's a question for chemistry

Vogel612

> When you touch stainless steel, the molecules in the steel bind with the sulfur molecules on your hands, thus transferring the molecules (along with the smell) to the metal and off from your hands

Hakase

22:10

yes, but which exact molecules lol

one part of the reaction is stainless steel alloy, but what else

Vogel612

sulfur and sulfuric acid

Hakase

I mean I had other questions

so if I wanna keep the flavor, should I not use stainless steel knives?

I'm gonna ask anyway :p

nah I don't really think that would be a good question

and keeping the flavor part is more suitable for cooking
