All right, CHAOS team

Help me, CHAOS Team, you're my only hope:

Q: New balcony flooring on top of concrete panel

I live in an apartment that can be characterized as an old soviet-era, 5-story, multi-apartment, concrete block-based building. That means, everything was built by "stroybat" a soviet-time army battalion, whose main purpose was to construct everything that was needed by commanders. This apartment...

@lauren I have a question for you

On english.stackexchange.com/posts/9293/revisions do you really think that's the best Q title?

waiwai933

@lauren Would you mind undoing this revision with your special no-bump powers? EL&U has a censored titles policy.

jcolebrand

There's a reason for that: meta.english.stackexchange.com/questions/554/…

There were quite a few discussions around that question and a few others ;)

@waiwai933 sorry, not trying to step on toes, trying to help ;)

waiwai933

@jcolebrand no problem

A word to all the CHAOS agents ... use Chrome, and keep this window in a pinned tab ;)

That will let the site mods for the sites you're on reach over and talk to you should they need you for something, like the above.

You don't have to be in here constantly, but using chrome, you can turn on "Desktop Notifications" on the right, and you'll get a little popup for ~ 15 seconds if someone @'s you in this room.

Belay that suggestion. Use Opera and cause pure and proper chaos.

@random lulz

You can pin a tab in Opera, and on top of that, you can hide the entire browser running in the background so you never have to leave this place again.

jcolebrand

@random you can? Who would want to hide the browser in the background?

random

If you're downloading a file that will take a while but you want to not have the browser take up the taskbar space. Or something

That has got to be the weirdest use case I can imagine. Why wouldn't the browser just download the file in the background like a sane *cough* chrome *cough* browser would do it?

Michael Mrozek

More importantly, why are you downloading in a browser when you can use wget?

I just realized there are 7 people in this room, none of them CHAOSers, and the discussion has nothing to do with CHAOS. Well done team; let's find a new room to infiltrate and absorb

jcolebrand

@MichaelMrozek lol, I recommend the ever infamous Tavern

Hiding the browser also keeps tabs and sessions, that killing the browser and reloading from last sessions don't hold over

Michael Mrozek

That's the end-game; we're not strong enough to take them yet. Let's just keep absorbing smaller rooms until nothing can stop us. We've basically invented the chat version of Osmos
