okay

Our default service (ten files up to 500MB total) is totally free and will never charge.

I think you're not understanding the idea though, @AndrewLeach. they do not offer a service that is for money.

something like that

@AndrewLeach "We have a nominal charge for our free service"

they're looking to upgrade their default service so that they provide more for free

"We vote for the queen"

there's no tier or other service that charges

Well, that's not clear.

it is to me…

Do you want to share files quickly? We have the solution! I think it's not the last piece of puzzle. we need to think about this sentence. to make it richer

sounds like you need to hire a PR guy

:)

For richer and for poorer.

Through sickness and in health.

you may consider it making creamier too.

all the best yogurts are both rich and creamy.

I need to catch a train. BBL.

...

what's sexual about creamy, rich yogurt?

@TuralAliyev sorry, your help has expired. you need to put another quarter in the machine to extend the time.

makes sex jokes

Ewww perv!

@Arrowfar I was showing love of the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Hey @KitFox. =]

Hey @Gnome.

@KitFox I see the faint outline of one.

@GnomeSlice I love checking your flags. You get busted for the best stuff.

@Mitch She changes color with the background, but she's always pink.

@KitFox I think I got a few recently, but I don't remember what any of them were for.

"Vine whip" is the one I'm laughing at.

Heh.

my Bulbasaur does that!

@KitFox Do I have more than 200 flags yet?

@GnomeSlice No.

phew

Can't you see how many you have?

Uh... not that I know of.

I don't believe so.

It's not in your chat profile somewhere?

Nope.

I'm pretty sure that's mod-only.

Hmm. Well, we have to dig for it, but yours are pretty much all worthwhile.

=P

A lot of them are probably just slurs and cursing.

You've got a good number of animated gifs.

I shouldn't laugh though. I shouldn't encourage your extremely naughty behavior.

pfff

A bunch of the older ones are for tits I bet.

@KitFox Your new image is weird. In chat it looks like a horse or something, but on your profile page it's blank.

It's the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

She's mysterious.

I see.

how can it be both invisible and pink?

Unicorn magic.

> Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

shockingly good explanation

doesn't know what more to say

In other news, you yourself can be an IPU if you are willing to redefine the necessary terms in order to prove yourself correct.

Yes.

Also, hello.

Hello.

How are the new mods working out?

Very well.

Excellent. :)

Would you run again? I thought you made a good showing.

Has it lightened the load?

Yes. Absolutely.

I'm not hip deep in flags anymore. Actually, I hardly have any to handle.

@Andrew is hogging them all.

Heh, what a jerk?

I'm just kidding.

:)

Yuck, our coffee machine is broken and the replacement coffee is all flavored.

Barf.

Coffee sounds good though.

debates

I just finished a cup of tea.

And there isn't any decaf.

@JohanLarsson hands glass of water

Flavourless coffee sounds bad.

Like colourless green.

someone is awake

wonders who

@Cerberus so you're saying coffee is a flavor above being a beverage?

No, I'm saying it has a flavour.

then your simile doesn't work.

sneaks away again

Well, I didn't say the two things were identical in all respects...

35°C here today, had to go to work for some AC, did not punch in.

@GnomeSlice Your flags are in your profile. To the right of any badges, labelled stats: helpful flags.

Or were you asking what you had been flagged for?

For some reason, that's not visible.

@AndrewLeach That's what I was asking. On his chat profile. I don't know why you couldn't see what you have been flagged for.

Oh well.

No. Although I suppose that while "Oh; I won't do that again" is a possible reaction, so is "WTF? What's wrong with that?!"

Hm. I only just realized that people who are banned here can (and do) just go ahead and terrorize ELL instead.

On the selfish side, perhaps that will make them stick there and never return. :P

when I submit an edit for an answer is that the same as submitting an edit for a question?

Well, there's no tags.

But other than that a post is just a post.

so then my edit got dismissed. I wonder why.

You can look it up.

how?

I tried reformatting this horrendously composed answer and it wasn't approved.

coughs bullshit

"consistency, ffs" laughs

Yeah I can see it now. You basically added a whole paragraph of your own.

to make it consistent!

he only provided an example for one of the things

and one of his examples was a blockquote

Consistent with what?

That's a canned response, by the way.

what on earth

consistent with his other example

anyway his answer looks awful, I'm downvoting if it's going to stay that way.

Also, not formatting an example as a quote of any kind is not consistent with the rest of the site. And if you gonna put it in brackets, you should start with a capital letter and end with a period.

Reg is very rigorous with formatting.

Reg, one of his cases is blockquoted and the other isn't. it looks like crap.

I'm pretty sure he's corrected over 9,000 hyphens to dashes.

I tried making them both the same.

I am also very rigorous with deleting non-attributed content, which is what this looks like.

He's new. Be gentle.

Tell him to provide a dictionary link.

Or something.

and to look at his answers before he submits them.

to see if they, in general, look like total garbage

This is curious. The definition is lifted from Memidex (whatever the heck that even is), but the example is from Cambridge.

Anyway, I got to commie yute.

Bai!

on top of the fact that one is blockquoted

one has a bolded word

AAAAH

rips hair out

this frustrates me infinitely, can someone please change it

at least just remove all formatting

whimpers

If it's actually a quote it should be blockquoted.

Must remember to add "Unattributed quote" to my collection of boilerplate comments

@Andrew it's not at all a quote

dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/southwestern

Gentle enough?

AH! that explains why one of his definitions was blockquoted.

the greater than sign from the copy paste

that's not even a copy paste with effort

my bad. it still looks cringe-worthily terrible though.

Sure it does.

so… why do not you delete it?

But don't get hung up on this one thing. It will be soon gone, perhaps even the entire question.

okay.

relaxes

@GeorgePompidou because Kit told be to be gentle, whatever that even means.

it means when you're not Jewish

I think.

I've deleted stuff like this before. Had she said nothing, I would have deleted it, too.

check your comment for Judaism.

@KitFox fills Russell's tea pot back up with Klein bottle

makes terrible mess

Native English speakers ... typically will believe anything at all

My super power...ability to take things way out of context.

@MrHen better than flavorless coffee

@KitFox Does she have seven perpendicular lines? And a kitten?

@Mitch Haha there is a grain of truthiness in that...

pokes chat with a stick

Ow.

Sowwy!

How's y'all's Mondays going?

Mine's more-or-less gone.

I did get an upside-down book today.

The binding is back-to-front, so when I open the front cover, it should be the back cover and the book is upside-down and back-to-front.

Weird, but not worth sending back. It appeals to my sense of humour.

Heh that's funny!

I would keep it if only to put on the coffee table and confuse visitors with.

Yes, I don't suppose there are all that many like that in circulation.

But as it's a hymnbook, it's probably not coffee-table material.

(I'm an organist)

ooooh!

@AndrewLeach Oh that's cool!

You say the nicest things.

ships a giant box of tact to Israel

It will not be accepted!

@AndrewLeach Really! Excellent.

ships a giant box of tact to Israel but labels it as firearms

I'm so embarrassed as a Jew for what these cretins are doing.

@GeorgePompidou That worked (well, worked in reverse) for "tanks" in WWI.

sigh

antisemitism will never end…

gets really bummed out and goes to hide

What is the BBC not telling us?

bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-28651610

(I didn't intend my comment to be anti-Semitic. I'm sorry that you took it that way.)

I didn't—I'm just sad that with how Israel is acting, especially lately, it means really no end to antisemitism. everyone has a reason to hate Jews. I get judged on the spot if someone knows I'm a Jew.

that was a totally general comment and had nothing to do with you.

Ah. The perils of chat and the order things appear.

But still, I don't understand the reference to Israel needing tact, I'm afraid. Obviously I've missed something.

I just don't think that bombing hospitals and killing civilians is a very tactful way to claim some land.

or to do anything, really.

Ah. Right. Yes. I am waiting for my Prime Minister to say something in response to the latest UN protest about its school. But the UK seems to be fence-sitting and not saying very much at all.

^^ A short history of spelling reform.

@bivoc Bonjour!

What should I Bing?

@GeorgePompidou That's weird. Many Jews no doubt disagree with what the Israeli government are doing.

@Surya Yes, it is.

@Cerberus danke

@Cerberus for some reason I always end up in large amounts of Jewish people, where you find most are unfortunately very pro-Israel.

I went to a mostly Jewish high school, many of my friends joined the Israel army

my boss talks really angrily about Arabs, as if the Jews are owed something by the world

Wow.

@GeorgePompidou Friends joining a foreign army??

Most Jews I know here are moderate and probably oppose the illegal settlements and such.

Talking angrily about Arabs in general is as weird as talking angrily about Jews in general.

yep; and all of these people supporting Israel makes quite the bad name for Jews around here, and where I'm from.

Right, I have not really seen that happen here.

And I do some work for a Jewish magazine.
