thwack!

RegDwight

"I wish the superfamily descriptive criteria were listed [sic] on that page. Now I'm going to be irritated."

Robusto

Hey, what's the threshold for an SE site getting out of beta? Is it number of questions, number of responses factored in, what?

JSBangs

RegDwight

@Robusto Moon phase.

Kit

@JSBangs Oh, cute! Shoot it before it gets into my garbage cans!

JSBangs

1:01 PM

just an adorable member of the arctoids for you to enjoy

RegDwight

@JSBangs Thank you. So much better than babies.

Kit

@RegDwight What's wrong with "were listed"?

RegDwight

May 11 at 13:35, by Kosmonaut

I recommend just throwing [sic] in randomly when quoting one's enemies. Nobody will want to admit they don't know why it is there, and the damage is done.

Stack Overflow Blog: When Will My Site Graduate?

Posted by Robert Cartaino on October 20th, 2010

At 90 days into beta, we’re supposed to evaluate each Area 51 beta site and either “pass” or “fail” them as full Stack Exchange sites. Some sites feel they’re not going to make it.

The Geographic Information Systems SE site has one more day of beta. We are Excellent in Qs answered and answer ratio, Okay in visits/day and Worrying in number of questions and number of avid users.

Are the admins planning to shut us down?

Please don’t! We may be small, but we’re good and growing. I’ve been working in the GIS field for almost 15 years and been act …

As I said, moon phase.

Kit

@RegDwight So what happens when someone does admit they don't know why it is there?

RegDwight

You thwack them.

So they wonder about that.

JSBangs

1:03 PM

@Kit fortunately, this is the Cozumel raccoon which is limited to a single island of the coast of the Yucatan

Mr. Disappointment

@Kit They look foolish.

JSBangs

so unless you live off the coast of the Yucatan, i'd say you're safe

Kit

@JSBangs I thought it looked cuter than usual.

@RegDwight So in other words, there's nothing wrong with "were listed;" you're just being an ass.

user19161

@Kit It looks a bit foxy.

RegDwight

"So in other words, there's nothing wrong [sic] with "were listed;" you're just being an ass."

Kit

1:05 PM

@RegDwight "So in other words, there's nothing wrong [sic] with "were listed;" you're just being an ass." [sic]

z7sg

What's wrong with everyone today? Bad moon phase? [sic]

Mr. Disappointment

"So in other words, there's nothing wrong [sic] with "were listed;" you're just being an ass." [sic] [sic recte You're just an ass.]

RegDwight

@Kit 'Were listed' is passive voice which is verboten. Read Strunk & White!

Robusto

Hmmm ... ELU is the top non-programming-related SE site, as far as number of questions goes.

Kit

@RegDwight I do many things with my Strunk & White, but reading it is not one of them!

RegDwight

1:07 PM

Yeah, you just favorite the authors.

Robusto

I'm cheating a bit by lumping in Mathematics with programming, but it's kind of an easy fit.

Matt Ellen

@RegDwight be damned for your prescriptivist ways!

Kit

@RegDwight And how is that passive voice?

RegDwight

Exactly.

Dingdingding!

Robusto

But SO has about four times as many total questions as all other SE sites put together.

user19161

@MrDisappointment An ass is a donkey.

A: What is Wrong in Strunk & White's "Elements of Style?"

In the spirit of answering the original question the way he wanted it to be answered, I will summarize the grammar points of Pullum’s essay: Passive voice Elements strongly advises against the passive voice. Pullum has two objections to this: (1) in many cases the passive voice really is superi...

Matt Ellen

@Robusto Well language is the stuff of thought

RegDwight

It's sad that you weren't around. You're missing the references.

Mr. Disappointment

1:11 PM

Hm, lunch time, bye for now.

RegDwight

CU

user19161

@MattEllen Good language is the thought of stuff.

Robusto

@MattEllen — Yet language also represents the thoughts of stuff.

Kit

@Robusto Thought language is of the good stuff.

Robusto

I thought language was nothing more than an anagram of "LAN gauge" ... another programming term.

Matt Ellen

1:13 PM

@Robusto aye. it's probably so. Computers rule us

all our thoughts are simply a way for the singularity to figure out its bandwidth

back in the dark ages it was stuck with 9600 baud

Advertisement: Have a break. Have a @kit kat.

Mana

hAAAAAAAAAAAA

slaps Jasper Loy on the back NICE ONE MAN

user19161

@Mana I thought the sound you make is maaaaaaan.

Grace Note

@JasperLoy That was more of a laugh, though

Mana

@JasperLoy I was experimenting in sounding less like a stoner and more like that jovial friend of yours who laughs just a bit too loud.

user19161

1:25 PM

@Mana What friend? The chicken?

Mana

hAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

kicks @JasperLoy off a cliff

Robusto

@Mana — Lucky you. My jovial friends laugh way too loud.

Laterz

Grace Note

Later, @Robusto

Mana

So uh. What's up?

Grace Note

@Mana Pencils. It's like I'm in school again.

user19161

1:37 PM

@GraceNote What about pencils?

RegDwight

Them's up.

Grace Note

@JasperLoy They're up.

Mana

@JasperLoy duuuuuuuh

RegDwight

Haha Grace misspelled "them".

Mana

@RegDwight hi-fives

Grace Note

1:39 PM

Doh

user19161

I am really not getting this joke, if there is one. I only know pens down. What is pencils up?

Matt Ellen

@GraceNote don't worry I do it all the time. Them has strange rules in here

Grace Note

@MattEllen Nice double there.

RegDwight

@Mana hi-tens

Matt Ellen

bows

Mana

1:40 PM

@JasperLoy I asked what's up, Grace says pencils. You ask what's going on with pencils, we tell you them's up.

RegDwight

But who was phone?

Grace Note

@JasperLoy A common joke is to respond to "What's up" with what is literally up - usually the common ones are "The sky", "The ceiling", "The opposite of down"

RegDwight

"Was geht ab?" — "Alles, was nicht angebunden ist."

user19161

@GraceNote I see, but pencil doesn't work too well here. Maaaaaan.

z7sg

@GraceNote Wow that is next level comedy!

Martha

1:42 PM

@Kit Huh? Wha? [rubs sleep out of her eyes] Ok, can't be bothered to figure out who to thwack, so: everybody who's in the chat right now who has been committing puns, consider yourself THWACKED.

RegDwight

@z7sg Previously on next level...

Grace Note

In certain schools, especially ones with those soft ceiling tiles, the common action of the bored student is to throw a pencil up and see if it sticks in the ceiling. There is a pencil in the ceiling of my office building.

Mana

Damn Grace, you done took it to a whole 'nother level!

RegDwight

@Martha See @Kit, you've got thwacked by Martha herself.

user19161

For the third time, I will say I have not received any thwacks yet.

z7sg

1:43 PM

"you've got thwacked" is ungrammatical.

tsk tsk

Martha

@JasperLoy Did you commit any puns?

Matt Ellen

@JasperLoy is it plugged in to both the power and the phone line?

also do you have any paper in the machine?

z7sg

@Martha!!! He made a thwack-worthy remark about Medusa yesterday!

RegDwight

@GraceNote Wow you have buildings with paper walls and soft ceilings, and then people wonder why hurricanes are so devastating...

user19161

Oh dear the replies do not make sense. Never mind, I will give myself an almighty thwack!

user19161

1:44 PM

Now I have been thwacked!

Martha

@z7sg He did? Ok, then: @JasperLoy, THWACK!

Grace Note

@RegDwight We don't have paper walls here

RegDwight

@GraceNote Wow, progress!

Matt Ellen

@GraceNote do you have walls?

Grace Note

(Not to mention, there hasn't been a serious hurricane here in years)

@MattEllen They finished putting up the glass on Monday.

RegDwight

1:46 PM

See, correlation = causation.

z7sg

@GraceNote Tornadoes, wasn't it?

RegDwight

Titty twisters.

Grace Note

@z7sg We had swirls of funnel clouds yesterday, as it were.

Nothing touched down but threw us a storm all the same.

Usually you don't expect hail in July

user19161

I remember watching the movie Twister. We sat in the front row as there were no more seats. It really twisted all our minds.

RegDwight

Mana

1:48 PM

....

@RegDwight what.

RegDwight

We were talking twisters and movies.

Mana

I...I know that. But...what is...what...oh forget it.

RegDwight

Somehow I hear that all the time...

user19161

@Mana I think lots of interesting things go inside Titty Twister. Wanna take a look?

Matt Ellen

@Mana Dusk til Dawn?

RegDwight

1:50 PM

What else?

Matt Ellen

@RegDwight it sounded wrong in my head

Martha

@Kit you just got a new answer to your cribbage question. Can't say as it's an improvement over the other answers, however.

user19161

@MattEllen But such places are usually open from dusk till dawn, approximately.

Mana

Face Meets The Desk

Grace Note

Four answers to a question about "eleventy" and not a single one of them even bothers to mention the logical extension from how the majority of 10s numbers are formed in English?

Matt Ellen

1:52 PM

@JasperLoy No! They must open at EXACTLY dusk and close at EXACTLY dawn, or I shall sue them for false advertisment

user19161

@MattEllen You misspelled till, but that might have been a typo.

Matt Ellen

@JasperLoy til is an abbreviation of until, so I misspelled 'til

z7sg

Interestingly, while it is commonly assumed that till is an abbreviated form of until (the spellings ‘till and ’ til reflect this), till is in fact the earlier form. Until appears to have been formed by the addition of Old Norse und ‘as far as’ several hundred years after the date of the first records for till.

whoabackoff

"What does 'cheese' mean? For example, in the sentence 'I like asparagus'." still cracks me up.

user19161

@z7sg Ya I think I read that in one of the questions here.

Grace Note

1:55 PM

I'll use til until till is used more often.

Matt Ellen

@JasperLoy although as the title of the film, I did misspell till From Dusk Till Dawn

RegDwight

Jul 15 at 12:52, by RegDwight

@GraceNote BTW, you're welcome to, how should I put it, answer questions on our site. From time to time. Not too often. And not during the raptchah. But yeah.

Matt Ellen

@z7sg starred! the more I know

Grace Note

@RegDwight It got mentioned in a comment, actually.

RegDwight

13

Q: What is the difference between "till" and "until"?

What is the difference between till and until? When to use till or until? Please explain with examples.

Grace Note

1:57 PM

Also that risks putting me above 200. Then I'd have to suffer English being forced into my top sites list since I'll be at the threshold.

user19161

@MattEllen Looks like a good movie, I'll try to find it.

RegDwight

You have no business starring things in this chat unless you also upvote them on the main site. :P

Matt Ellen

@RegDwight but it's wrong

z7sg

I'm bored of the main site! I'm only going to ask questions here from now on.

Matt Ellen

unless you can substitute until in "I shall till that field tomorrow"

z7sg

2:00 PM

I don't agree with @Robusto that "I am not going to pay the rent till my landlord fixes the plumbing." is wrong.

RegDwight

@z7sg you're a bit too late to the party, though.

Mar 4 at 17:14, by RegDwight

@Kosmonaut Excellent. And thus, another amazingly awesome question was asked and answered behind the scenes.

Matt Ellen

well, I suppose "mostly" does cover it

user19161

Interestingly, dawn occurs before sunrise and dusk occurs after sunset.

Grace Note

Hm. Apparently 12 hours ago I broke 200 anyway. That kinda ruins my excuse.

z7sg

The coolest kids are always late to the party.

Matt Ellen

2:01 PM

@z7sg I've never been one of them :(

RegDwight

2

Q: "Late to the party" vs. "late for the party"

I've heard both versions, usually in similar contexts. Which one is correct or more correct — or more prevalent — in the USA? He: This deal ends at 7 p.m. She: Sucks, I am late to the party.

word-choice grammaticality prepositions american-english

Matt Ellen

unless by late you mean not invited :D

user19161

@GraceNote Now you are 'great again' and not 'once great'.

RegDwight

Once great again.

Grace Note

@JasperLoy Not really. I'm still not answering, for example.

user19161

2:02 PM

@GraceNote Well, now that you have reached the magical 200, you can rest on your laurels.

RegDwight

While we're discussing parties,

Feb 24 at 2:36, by Kosmonaut

At parties, I find that if you locate a nearby lampshade, put it on your head, and yell "woo!", people will respect you.

Grace Note

@JasperLoy That implies some measure of past success.

Matt Ellen

@GraceNote is 200 not a measure of your past success?

Grace Note

@MattEllen I wouldn't call it enough for laurels

Matt Ellen

@GraceNote perhaps you can rename yourself Laurel, then ;)

Grace Note

2:05 PM

@MattEllen Isn't that a boy's name?

Matt Ellen

@GraceNote It's a surname (Stan Laurel) but I don't know about forenames

user19161

Or you can call yourself L'oreal the shampoo.

Grace Note

Ooh, hexes, it's actually unisex as a given name.

Matt Ellen

yay!

remain ambiguous

user19161

@MattEllen Cute!

user19161

2:07 PM

I learnt yay from aedia and cute from cerberus.

Matt Ellen

@JasperLoy flirt ;)

Grace Note

I'll stick with Grace.

Faux, but first all the same.

Mana

@Grace So I guess now that you've reached 200, next you'll be aiming for

user19161

And I just learnt hexes from grace.

aedia

@z7sg Any coffee left?

Grace Note

2:10 PM

@Mana You cut off the wings from Second. That's cruel

Mana

I'm sorry, they just didn't work with my artistic vision @Grace.

Grace Note

@Mana I'll be sure to rip off your arm the next time I work with you, too.

user19161

I watched 300. It is too violent for me, no good.

Grace Note

Ooh, free ice cream

Mana

woooooah, okay this isn't Xenosaga, calm down

no need to go into hyperviolence all of a sudden here

RegDwight

2:12 PM

Wait what, this is not Xenosaga?

I'm out.

Mana

lame :(

user19161

@Mana Is that a game?

Matt Ellen

@RegDwight this is chat, no hyperviolence, just violence

Mana

Correct! A game which starts off pretty pleasant and then suddenly becomes horribly violent.

Martha

Whoa, H&B's recalced rep is 11333. We didn't delete enough of his answers, apparently.

user19161

2:16 PM

psmears msg having 11 stars, it seems it will stick on the right side forever, till this site closes.

Matt Ellen

@JasperLoy also, it's pinned, not just starred

user19161

@Martha If he deletes his answers with minus votes, he can get more rep.

user19161

I only recently learnt about the manual rep recalc.

user19161

Well, not that recent.

user19161

@aedia I have some coffee here for you, since z7sg does not seem to be around at the moment.

Grace Note

2:20 PM

Ahh... the advantage of working in the food industry - they will dispatch an ice cream truck to your office and distribute free ice cream to all employees.

aedia

@JasperLoy Yay!

Grace Note

@Mana Next time don't rip out a poor girl's wings, then!

Martha

@GraceNote //envy

Grace Note

@Martha I shouldn't bring up the complimentary crate we got when working with Cadbury, then.

Martha

(Pennsic starts this weekend, and once again, I'm not going, so I won't get the lovely free ice cream at Herald's Point. Sniff.)

Grace Note

2:23 PM

Oooh, that's disappointing.

Martha

@GraceNote Eh. Never much liked Cadbury's chocolate. It's too sweet and not chocolate-y enough.

Jez

i'm at work, and i'm really tired.

too hard to concentrate. :-(

z7sg

@aedia You missed out on this round! :( I just went and fetched myself a fresh cappuccino.

user19161

@Jez That's why you shouldn't be here.

Martha

Oh, coffee! That's what I'm missing! BRB.

Grace Note

2:24 PM

@Martha It usually struck me as being just too much, myself. The crate actually predates my own existence ('twas for my father before he met my mother) but it's always the most impressive gift when the subject comes up, usually.

z7sg

Ah, I see coffee is sorted after all for the pink one. :)

user19161

@z7sg Then you must be called the blue one.

Grace Note

Yesterday I actually found our stash of coffee candy. It brought back memories of high school.

> Caffeine is the drug no one cares about because everyone is addicted to it

user19161

Hello @F'x a rare chatter!

user19161

@GraceNote Ya I think we are all unknowingly addicted to it already.

Grace Note

2:29 PM

@JasperLoy Well, those who consume it at least

aedia

@z7sg Indeed. And I was lucky enough to have time for a bagle. But now I wish I had some dark chocolate.

Jez

i dont usually need a tea in the afternoon

im so darn sleepy

Matt Ellen

@GraceNote indeed. I can't be called an addict unless once a fortnight counts

Grace Note

@Jez I'd suggest light physical activity. Usually that gets me up with enough of it, as long as I've had a reasonable meal already.

Jez

im at a desk, at work.

user19161

2:32 PM

@Jez Probably the post-lunch effect.

Matt Ellen

man that hits me hard. especially today

aedia

Grace Note

@Jez Step out. Stretch. If you're tired and unproductive, you'll lose a lot more time than what you'll lose by taking a momentary breeze walk

Jez

hah. i'd rather work from home :-D

that'd make me more productive

user19161

@aedia And how are you supposed to use it?

user19161

2:34 PM

@Jez That's what we would like to think, but may not be entirely true...

Jez

shhhh

it's true

Q: Word for "self-fulfilling prophecy"

I'm looking for a word, if one exists, to describe a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have only prediction at the moment, but it does not fit the context which is exactly that of a negative self-fulfilling prophecy, but a bit short of a curse. Usage (in negative sense): Whenever she comments about ...

Also, with a coating of delicious.

RegDwight

yesterday, by RegDwight

I dunno what I'm missing, but it appears that the OP is looking for a word for something he already knows the word for.

I do notice this stuff. But I can't be closing everything unilaterally.

Jez

didnt know you could eat raw coffee beans

aren't they hard?

Grace Note

2:38 PM

Depends on the type. Mocha coffee beans are soft-ish

RegDwight

Mar 29 at 14:05, by RegDwight

@Billare Careful, mocha means "piss" in Russian...

user19161

@aedia I really didn't know you can eat coffee beans like that. I thought you had to grind them. So the chocolate really confused me. I guess you get chocolate-flavoured coffee if you grind them.

aedia

@Jez They're not exactly "raw", as far as I know. They're roasted first, much the same as they would be for coffee.

MrHen

@RegDwight Sure. So if this will help: I now authorize you, @RegDwight, to close this question.

RegDwight

My point is that we have 70 3k users now.

At this point I shouldn't even be in the business of closing trilaterally.

I shouldn't be in the business of closing at all.

user19161

2:41 PM

It is interesting that mocha can mean a kind of coffee bean or coffee with chocolate. The two are quite distinct.

Jez

@aedia so they're a bit like eating coal

Grace Note

@RegDwight Crepes, you have more closers than we do on Gaming, and I rarely have to lift a finger there. That is a bit disconcerting.

MrHen

@RegDwight Yeah. I am not so much disagreeing with you I just want this stuff closed.

z7sg

@RegDwight Hey a new word! моча - piss

Thanks buddy.

RegDwight

@MrHen I didn't see your close vote on that question, BTW.

MrHen

2:43 PM

@RegDwight Haha, funny. I thought I already had. I forgot JSBangs was back and just assumed the single vote was mine :P

aedia

@Jez Caffeinated coal.

RegDwight

@MrHen See, this is precisely what I'm talking about.

Grace Note

The fact that people see a single close vote and assume it must be theirs...

RegDwight

Only @Martha actually tries to close stuff twice.

And only nohat succeeds.

Yeah, I must say that as far as MrHen is concerned, this is a one-off error. He's usually very diligent.

Grace Note

@RegDwight Is it an issue elsewhere, though?

Martha

Dammit, my tissue box is still defective. What am I supposed to blow my nose in?

user19161

@Martha You mean you can't pull the tissue out of it?

RegDwight

Mar 3 at 12:33, by RegDwight

Oh and @Martha: THWACK!

Martha

@JasperLoy No, like I said, it went defective, probably, what, three days ago? (Empty is defective, right?)

@RegDwight Hey! What was that for?

user19161

2:49 PM

@RegDwight What is that image? Nose wax?

RegDwight

@Martha Grace said "is it an issue", you replied "dammit my tissue".

Grace Note

@Martha It is a defect if the box is empty, so aye

user19161

@Martha Use toilet paper, or toilet water. I've tried both.

Martha

@RegDwight Eh? That's a serious reach.

Grace Note

I... would not use toilet water to... blow my... how and why would you... what?

RegDwight

2:50 PM

@Martha Of course you as the thwackee would say that.

That's what everybody always replies.

Grace Note

@RegDwight I'd say it's a serious reach too, if that changes anything.

RegDwight

I am happy to inform you that it does not.

Grace Note

Hexes

Martha

@RegDwight I think you're ascribing characteristics to me that only you possess.

user19161

@GraceNote What I mean is, use your hands to blow your nose, lubricated with some water, and then washed with water to clean up all the mess.

RegDwight

2:52 PM

@Martha I'm not that cruel. Noöne can handle my characteristics.

Grace Note

@JasperLoy Yes, but I wouldn't use toilet water.

Martha

@JasperLoy That sounds like... um... how shall I put this... too much work.

user19161

@GraceNote Oh sorry, I mean water from the toilet sink, not the toilet bowl.

Jez

a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com/img/…

Grace Note

@JasperLoy It's a very important distinction

z7sg

2:53 PM

@JasperLoy Still, that is disgusting.

Martha

@JasperLoy Hint: "from the toilet" defaults to meaning "from the toilet bowl".

user19161

Having said that, toilet paper does not work too well as it breaks too easily.

RegDwight

@Martha And "from the toilet bowl" defaults to meaning "from Programmers.SE".

aedia

Eau de toilette

Eau de toilette is a lightly scented perfume used as a skin freshener. It is also referred to as "aromatic waters" and has a high alcohol content. It is usually applied directly to the skin after bathing or shaving. It is considered a "weak" perfume. Toilet water is defined as a dilute perfume. It was originally composed of alcohol and various volatile oils. Toilet waters are usually named after a principal ingredient; some being Geranium Water, Lavender Water, Lilac Water, Violet Water, Spirit of Myrcia and 'eau de Bretfeld'. Because of this "toilet water" is sometimes referred to as "...

Q: Please stop using Programmers.SE as your toilet bowl

discussion off-topic programmers-se

Martha

@RegDwight I'll have to take your word for that.

RegDwight

They misspelled "start" though.

Grace Note

@Martha Better him than the Porcelain Berserker

aedia

@aedia Is the other default toilet water I think of. Does not mean just H2O used to perform one's toilette.

Grace Note

@aedia I still wouldn't use this to blow my nose

user19161

2:55 PM

Well, in my lack of tissue paper outside, I have used both toilet paper and toilet sink water to blow my nose, so I am quite an expert nose-blower.

RegDwight

@GraceNote Russian euphemisms for the toilet bowl include "white friend" and "white telephone".

Grace Note

I could probably pay for a whole cart of tissue boxes to account for the cost of perfume.

RegDwight

@GraceNote You have do take a mouthful of it, then read one of my comments here, so it comes out of your nose.

user19161

I prefer the natural smell of the person to perfume.

z7sg

Why do you need a euphemism for the toilet bowl? It is hardly an offensive object.

RegDwight

2:57 PM

@z7sg You're hardly an offensive object.

Grace Note

@RegDwight Can't say you have ever elicited that manner of response yet. Robusto, maybe.

z7sg

@RegDwight I'm working on that.

RegDwight

@GraceNote Your failure on that front is the very reason why I'm posting the how-to.

user19161

There is a study on what people smell like. They say males smell like cheese and females like onions.

user19161

I sort of agree.

RegDwight

2:58 PM

Mar 23 at 18:27, by RegDwight

Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.

Just a warning.

Grace Note

@RegDwight You seem to be missing a few steps on your part.

Martha

@JasperLoy I don't know how people can stand to wear perfume. 10 minutes of the same scent and I'm well on my way to a raging headache. Doesn't matter how much I like the scent, either.

aedia

@JasperLoy Ew, that's enough to make anyone want to wear perfume.
