Maid Café (メイド喫茶)

> 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.

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

6:46 PM

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.

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

6:49 PM

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

@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

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

@Dimitrimx night

@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

8:26 PM

@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.

@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...

@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.

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

10:10 PM

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
