The Screening Room

Ankit Sharma

2:00 PM

@steelersquirrel how? details ?

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Napoleon totally knew who Lenny Kravitz was, btw! ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Well, who doesn't know that song, it's pretty much common knowledge and their most famous song.

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma You would just have to read the divorce crap with her and Johnny Depp.

A J

@AnkitSharma not this time.

@AnkitSharma 9 here :P

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel ohhh

Is she bisexual or pansexual? looks bi

steelersquirrel

2:03 PM

She's bi

Ankit Sharma

> "I think when I became aware of my role in the media, I had to ask myself an important question 'Am I part of the problem?' And I think that when millions and millions of hard-working, taxpaying Americans are denied their rights and denied their equality you have to ask yourself what are the factors that are an epidemic problem and that's what this is."- Amber

Nice, I am impressed

steelersquirrel

Uhuh. Sure.

She was the other woman. I instantly don't like her.

Ankit Sharma

> Heard dismissed the restraining order, and they issued a joint statement, which stated that their "relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm."

Ahem ahem

steelersquirrel

She was still the other woman.

:P

Just like Angelina Jolie. She was this great humanitarian...blah, blah, blah. She still screwed around with a married man.

Ankit Sharma

So first they accused each other and then settled with being passionate, nice

@steelersquirrel but man's are equally responsible for cheating there wives

Anyway #TeamAniston

steelersquirrel

2:14 PM

@AnkitSharma Well, sure.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor HELLO

Rand al'Thor

Greetings!

steelersquirrel

If a married man showed any interest in me, I would not return the advances. That's all I'm saying.

@Randal'Thor RAND!!! HELLO!!!

Mithrandir

Do you come in peace?

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel sure and even slap that ahole

Rand al'Thor

2:15 PM

@Mithrandir Always.

(How did you know I almost said "I come in peace" just now? :-o )

Mithrandir

Great minds think alike? :P

Ankit Sharma

@Mithrandir something fishy O.o

Rand al'Thor

Oh, maybe that phrase was subconsciously in both our minds after the Restaurant conversation.

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 mins ago, by Rand al'Thor

@b_jonas "We come in peace!" aliens shoot down probe

@AnkitSharma Do fish come in peace?

OMG, @steelersquirrel:

Napoleon Wilson

Depends on the fish.

Rand al'Thor

A J

2:18 PM

We're bashing iPhone in the other room. @AnkitSharma Care to join in? ;-P

Napoleon Wilson

Squirrels rarely come in peace, though. ;-P

A J

@NapoleonWilson Huh?

Napoleon Wilson

But some fish come in pieces.

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Everything OK with you two?

First I see "don't ever trust a German", then "squirrels rarely come in peace".

Napoleon Wilson

Gheez, I should probably have used ";-P" instead of ";-(".

A J

2:22 PM

@Randal'Thor You forgot to see :P emoticon in the end.

Rand al'Thor

The one I heard was "don't ever trust an Italian".

From an Italian.

Aren't Germans supposed to be the reliable ones? ;-)

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor If it wasn't, I wouldn't express it like that. ;-)

Rand al'Thor

Also, apparently there's something called an orange squirrelfish:

Seems perfect for the tSR couple.

steelersquirrel

@Randal'Thor OMFG!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!

@Randal'Thor No. It's horrible. Napoleon sucks.

:P

Napoleon Wilson

:'(

steelersquirrel

2:28 PM

Hehehehe! Awwwwwww! I'm totally kidding!

@NapoleonWilson ;-* ;-* ;-*

Napoleon Wilson

O...okay. o_O

@steelersquirrel Awww, hihihi! ;-* ;-* ;-*

A J

Hmm

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Huh?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel It was part of the joke! Duh!

Wake up! \o/

steelersquirrel

I'M AWAKE!!!

IT'S LOOPY TIME!!!

WOOOOOOOT!

Napoleon Wilson

2:40 PM

So that's why it takes you about 5 minutes for each reply? ;-P

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson You can totally have a piece of squirrel, though! ;)

2

Napoleon Wilson

...

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson That...and I'm trying to finish up my paperwork ;)

@NapoleonWilson YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

Napoleon Wilson

So you're all working? Pfft!

steelersquirrel

Nothing makes me happier than your 3 dots!!! Hehehe!

@NapoleonWilson I'm working and listening to awesome music!!!

Napoleon Wilson

2:43 PM

Woot! \o/

Rand al'Thor

The good thing about identifying yourself with a squirrel on the internet is that there's no shortage of cute and funny squirrel pics/gifs/memes/etc.

steelersquirrel

Hehehe! I know, right?

OMG!!!!! "Midnight Special" by CCR is on!!!!!

This is one of my top 3 favorite songs EVER!!!!

faints

Napoleon Wilson

Hmm, they have better songs, though.

Rand al'Thor

Napoleon Wilson

But it's nice, sure.

Rand al'Thor

2:48 PM

This should be your autumn avatar, @steelersquirrel ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@AJ Just tell them, I am bashing all of them but not joining

Rand al'Thor

Hmm, I wonder what happens if you try to set an avatar to an animated gif?

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Uhm...no! Midnight Special is their best song EVER! Period!

Napoleon Wilson

I doubt it works. That should be one of the first things people tried and one of the first things SE fixed.

A J

@Randal'Thor See JNat's profile. It got an animated GIF

steelersquirrel

2:49 PM

@Randal'Thor Napoleon would probably explode ;)

I couldn't even begin to know how to do an animated gif thing.

One of you guys would have to do it for me.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor that time we were talking about, should a Indian freedom fighter trust a German ( during Hitler time) invasion against British rule to save India in past?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Hmpf! What about "Fortunate Son", "Proud Mary" or "Bad Moon Rising"?

Rand al'Thor

@AJ Where? All seems stationary to me.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Sure! They're all awesome! Midnight Special is more awesome! ;)

Napoleon Wilson

One of the best Vietnam songs ever!

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Fortunate Son

Ankit Sharma

2:51 PM

@Randal'Thor wow, that can be the official sight of Napoleon and steeler

steelersquirrel

You just haven't listened to Midnight Special with me. That's why ;)

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma I would've totally tacoed out of that conversation :-)

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor agreed

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Totally!

@Randal'Thor Hahahahaha!!!! "tacoed out of that conversation" OMG!! LOL!!

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor that was constructive talk and based on historical event

A J

2:52 PM

@Randal'Thor It's an animated GIF. Open the image link in new tab. Yes, it appears stationary.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel that's not right, he seems like a nice fellow

Rand al'Thor

@steelersquirrel I know how to make animated gifs, thanks to Richard. There's a tool called Licecap which is awesome.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel ...

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma It's not the same if it doesn't come from Napoleon :-P

Wow, Ankit pingfest!

And starfest too, looks like.

steelersquirrel

Napoleon rocks the 3 dots and Ankit rocks the pingfests! ;)

@AnkitSharma Awwwww! Of course he is!

Napoleon Wilson

2:54 PM

Except for the aswesome autumn squirrel picture it seems.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor GIF don't work in profile pic :(

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma I'm sure it was. Just not one I would've enjoyed.

steelersquirrel

Okay, people. I gotta go! See you sillies later!! :)

Napoleon Wilson

But I fixed that.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor ohhh :'(

@Randal'Thor it's my regular thing here

Napoleon Wilson

2:55 PM

@steelersquirrel Awww, did we scare you off?

Rand al'Thor

@AJ OMG. WOW. I never realised!

steelersquirrel

I'm off work in 5 minutes, silly bean!

Rand al'Thor

Didn't even know that was possible!

Napoleon Wilson

I promise I like that "Midgnight Special" song! And Amber Heard is totally lame!

Rand al'Thor

@steelersquirrel See you later! Get some sleep :-)

Ankit Sharma

2:56 PM

@Randal'Thor that's the point, they don't work and act as stationary one

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Yeah, JNat's profile answers my question of what happens when you try a gif avatar.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor we can take it to slack to shut in down :P

Rand al'Thor

I was wondering if you'd get an error message or if your avatar would be just one frame from the gif.

Of course, maybe JNat used his CM powers to hack himself an avatar that mortals wouldn't be able to have :-P

3

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel already :'(

Mithrandir

Woah. That's cool.

Napoleon Wilson

2:57 PM

I doubt he did that after he became an employee.

Mithrandir

Napoleon Wilson

Seems like that was always his profile picture.

JNat

@Randal'Thor I've had that same avatar since forever ;)

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor I want justice #JusticeForGIFProfielPic

Rand al'Thor

@JNat Yeah, was just kidding :-)

Ankit Sharma

2:59 PM

@JNat I know, I remember when you were anime.se mod not CM

JNat

I gotta say it's pretty weird to see "my face" when I'm cycling through my open chat rooms :P

Ankit Sharma

@JNat blame @AJ

we need blame bot here

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Maybe you can import the one from meta chat?

Or ask whoever-it-is how they made it.

~~(Hmm, I wonder if Meta Stack Exchange works.)~~

~~(Apparently not.)~~

Mithrandir

You mean the Wheel of Blame?

Or !!/blame?

Rand al'Thor

@Mithrandir That one, I think.

@Mithrandir That sounds more like Charcoal, not meta chat?

Ankit Sharma

3:03 PM

@Mithrandir what is wheel of blame sound fancy

Mithrandir

It's bolted onto the Tavern

Ankit Sharma

I need a bot which blame random chatters when I say secret words

Mithrandir

@Randal'Thor Smokey runs in the Tavern

Napoleon Wilson

> Tea, Earl Grey, hot!

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma chat.meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=blame

@NapoleonWilson Mm, yes please.

Ankit Sharma

3:04 PM

> No tea, irritated, stupid work!

Rand al'Thor

Actually, that reminds me I need to buy more tea this week.

Ankit Sharma

I have enough tea but too lazy to make, so I got with hot chocolate milk when I am home

Even if it bring epistaxis

Rand al'Thor

googles epistaxis

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor In past I did made a bot (with the help of others) here but it remained in Indian movies chatroom but then those all bollywooders abandoned me :'(

@Randal'Thor just a fancy word for nose bleed

Rand al'Thor

Yikes.

That's a fancy name for a nosebleed.

@AnkitSharma jinx :-D

Ankit Sharma

3:08 PM

Jinx

Can someone ask a question on main site which I can answer to get a rep cap, I really want that silver shiny badge and I am bored

Have to give support to stupid programmers, even when they don't need it, grrrrr

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma I actually have a question for M&TV, but it's about the Hunger Games, which I don't think you're into?

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Wut! Are you that close?

I have about 6 days or so.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor I ahte it and my answer will be plot hole :P

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Surely Epic isn't that hard, on a site of this size/age. I'm surprised you two don't have it already.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson not close I need 15 more and got 120 rep already ( 135 if you count accept)

Napoleon Wilson

3:13 PM

@Randal'Thor We don't really have that many votes here, though, apart from HNQ.

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma It's hard to answer "plot hole" to a question about the filming/production ;-) If it was a plot question, I'd a) probably ask on SFF or Lit instead, and b) probably be able to answer it myself.

Napoleon Wilson

SciFi has much higher voting counts in general.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor I take so much time in editing and retagging that someone else answer it, so I miss stuff when even I have answer

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Still, though, you've got a lot of rep and answers.

Napoleon Wilson

I could have rep-capped yesterday, but questions are only worth 5. ;-)

@AnkitSharma But I'm really glad your answer caught some HNQ votes, too.

I was afraid it would fall through.

Rand al'Thor

3:17 PM

@NapoleonWilson More traffic, and probably more highly active users.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor then I can try but can't be sure

Rand al'Thor

I saw a fancy chart once, and apparently SFF is one of the most popular sites for SO-ers to visit.

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor Probably.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor because I am the only one with two Socratic and third on the way ;)

@NapoleonWilson it was because question's HNQness didn't fallen yet and both answer got edited today too, so might stay longer

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Wow, really? Nice!

Ankit Sharma

3:20 PM

But my score can't cross the other one now

Rand al'Thor

I unexpectedly got my second Socratic on SFF recently.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor movies.stackexchange.com/help/badges/97/socratic

Rand al'Thor

They're hard to keep track of after you've got the first one.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor agreed

Napoleon Wilson

I still think it's stpuid that Socratic is multiple.

When can we ever stop worrying about scheduling our questions right? ;-)

Ankit Sharma

3:21 PM

Only steeler, nepolean, liath and dforck have it other then me

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson I guess it's inconsistent, at the least. Why can't you get multiple Legendary, or other badges of the same type?

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson I don't really wait, I usually stop after asking 3 question a day

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson NEVER <evil cackling>

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor hmmm valid point cc@SETeam

Rand al'Thor

Or always, if you don't care about stupid badges ;-)

Napoleon Wilson

3:22 PM

Yeah, I stopped worrying after the 1st, too.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor I care but not enough to wait for days

Napoleon Wilson

I rarely have multiple questions a day anyway.

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Is Walt one of those gurus who answers everything but rarely (never?) asks a question himself?

Ankit Sharma

But hats are other thing, they are life

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor Rarely? ;-)

Ankit Sharma

3:24 PM

Nov 5 '16 at 7:39, by Ankit Sharma

If someone make @Walt ask question on Rachel McAdams's film then he/she will be rewarded with bounty worth 1000 Rep

Offer is still open

Rand al'Thor

What about if someone makes a Rachel McAdams film about Walt's answers?

Napoleon Wilson

I try to keep up a rough 1:2 ratio.

Ankit Sharma

And I am serious and after 25k rep don't really matter, so 1000 is nothing

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Doesn't really matter with a diamond anyway.

You could have 1 rep and still keep all your privs.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor then my mind will be blown and we will be needed an election for new movies.se mod :p

@Randal'Thor but what if I retire

Rand al'Thor

3:27 PM

Aww, no 1-rep mods any more?

Jan 23 at 12:28, by Ankit Sharma

If I ever left the site or took a longer break, I will disperse all my extra rep before doing it

Jan 23 at 12:28, by Ankit Sharma

Will keep 25k for my ownself ;)

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Why, are you planning to?

I thought you and Napoleon would keep those diamonds until they're pried from your cold dead hands :-P

Ankit Sharma

That's my retirement plan

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Oh, like that guy who was suspended for that recently? ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor nothing is permanent

@NapoleonWilson I will do it reasonably like the quarterly bounty thing but in grand way

I will not give it to users but the answer and mostly from new users

Rand al'Thor

3:32 PM

@AnkitSharma +1

Ankit Sharma

so @AJ got no chance :P

A J

@AnkitSharma Yeah blame me. I thought a thank you was in order. @Randal'Thor

Rand al'Thor

I've been giving away bounties on Literature that way: finding really good answers from users who need a rep leg-up more than others.

Ankit Sharma

anyway I almost planned retirement in past but dropped the plan

@Randal'Thor Napoleon do a unanswered challenge here monthly and then there is quarterly bounty challenge too

@AJ awwww

Napoleon Wilson

o_O

Ankit Sharma

3:36 PM

@NapoleonWilson this one is for?

Napoleon Wilson

Nothing.

Ankit Sharma

The edits cleared it up, at first it looked like it was asking about the actual early episodes, which the linked Wikipedia episode pages would answer. (I'd might as well delete my comments tomorrow, or whenever you've viewed them) — Xen2050 3 mins ago

Rand al'Thor

@AJ Quoi? I didn't blame you for anything.

Ankit Sharma

Is he saying me to delete his comment O.o

Napoleon Wilson

I think so.

Ankit Sharma

3:37 PM

@Randal'Thor but I blame you for global warming :P

@NapoleonWilson done then

Great, now my cab is far and have nothing to do

and front page is currently bleh, nothing to answer

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma All right. You got me. I've got a gigantic planet oven and I stuck the earth in it when nobody was looking.

A J

@Randal'Thor No. The latter message was for you.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor as expected

Napoleon Wilson

I will rewatch The Revenant today, but I don't think there's any pressing open questions for it.

DForck42

mornin

Ankit Sharma

3:40 PM

@DForck42 good night?

Napoleon Wilson

Morschn

A J

@NapoleonWilson Yeah. I didn't expect Luke one to get that many votes.

Rand al'Thor

@DForck42 Afternoon.

Ankit Sharma

That reminded me it's 9 already and I am in office , what will I cook :(

DForck42

@AnkitSharma paper?

Rand al'Thor

3:41 PM

Blimey, you work late.

A J

@DForck42 good late evening

Rand al'Thor

teleports vegetarian food to @AnkitSharma

Ankit Sharma

@DForck42 any good recipe in mind ?

@Randal'Thor aww thank you

DForck42

@AnkitSharma soak it in some water, mush it, then eat it

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor it was due to someone who is dead tomorrow , grrrrr

@DForck42 lack spices :P

Rand al'Thor

3:43 PM

@AnkitSharma Sprinkle curry powder on it, soak it in some water, mush it, eat it.

A J

@AnkitSharma Give him baadshah masala

Ankit Sharma

@AJ what to wish when it's 9, is late evening a thing?

@AJ ufffff bad joke

I use Everest or catch

@Randal'Thor we don't do curry masala, it's either a garam masal for me or sabji maslaa and both need cooking to taste well

Anyway cal almost there \o/

Time to leave \o/

A J

@AnkitSharma I use Ramdev, not patanjali

Ankit Sharma

Lol

DForck42

@AJ I have no idea what that means

Rand al'Thor

3:47 PM

@AnkitSharma Sorry, this is all ~~Greek~~ Indian to me :-)

I hate spicy food.

Ankit Sharma

I don’t use Patanjali as I don’t want to support any guru/baba/spiritual leaders

Rand al'Thor

Although I have been to a lot of Indian restaurants - they're often a good place to find vegetarian food.

Napoleon Wilson

@DForck42 I think they're on taxi apps rather than food now, though.

Ankit Sharma

@DForck42 he is saying which brand of masala he use

Napoleon Wilson

But I might be totally wrong.

Ankit Sharma

3:49 PM

@Randal'Thor bummer

DForck42

@AnkitSharma ahh ok

Q: Who is this actor from "Six of a kind"?

I found this old poster, which appears to be a frame from Six of a kind (1934, a.k.a. "Poker Party"). This scene features W.C. Fields as "Honest John" (it can be viewed on Youtube using these keywords). However I can't figure who is the actor in black. He seems a minor character (I didn't see t...

identify-this-actor

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson nice

Napoleon Wilson

Why? That's what I honestly thought.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson what o.O

Napoleon Wilson

3:50 PM

"Everest" doesn't sound like some traditional Indian food really. ;-)

But if it's a store brand, it makes more sense.

Rand al'Thor

"Everest" sounds like Qomolangma Feng.

Napoleon Wilson

Indeed.

DForck42

I am working on a draft to post on meta to redress the current state of id questions. please review and let me know what you think and if there's anything I should add/reword: docs.google.com/document/d/… @AnkitSharma @NapoleonWilson @steelersquirrel @AJ @Randal'Thor @Paulie_D

^^tag anyone else that might be interested in providing input

Rand al'Thor

"to redress the current state of id questions on meta" - do you get many ID questions on meta? :-P

DForck42

@Randal'Thor lol, no. fixed

Napoleon Wilson

3:53 PM

@DForck42 Oh, to be honest, we were going to move away from polling and choose a more "progressive" approach. But I haven't read it yet.

Ankit Sharma

Everest Spices

Everest Spices is an Indian manufacturer, distributor and exporter of ground spices and spice mixtures under the brand name Everest. Everest has been accorded the Superbrands status three times: in 2003, 2006 and 2009. It also won FMCG Consumer Reaction Award. Everest started began advertising aggressively on the television in 2003, and by 2005, it had 30% share of the branded pure spices market in India. According to the 2007 study, Everest was India's largest spices brand based in Mumbai. More than 20 million households used Everest spices regularly. The brand was stocked by 4,00,000 outlets...

@NapoleonWilson ^*

DForck42

@NapoleonWilson *aggressive you mean? ;-)

Napoleon Wilson

@DForck42 Did you factor in the ton of deleted ones in your statistics?

It doesn't surprise me the number of retained ones is going down.

Ankit Sharma

@DForck42 if it says “ID are banned already” then +1

Paulie_D

I disagree with We’re also pretty quick to delete closed ID questions, if they don’t get any improvement after nine days of being closed...and I thought it was 29 days anyway.

Ankit Sharma

3:55 PM

Anyway on mobile, so will check later

DForck42

@NapoleonWilson yes, as far as we can tell with the data on data.se anyway

Napoleon Wilson

@DForck42 Oh, SEDE doesn't really count for deleted question at all, though.

Unless you explicitly cross-referenced with the new deleted posts table, but I don't know how informative that table is.

DForck42

0

A: Unclear why this ID question was deleted

It was closed without improvement for more than 9 days (or 29 days, to be precise) and thus deleted in a cleanup effort. If you want it closed and downvoted (and even expressed thus with a corresponding close-vote), I'd rather ask you why you would want this question be left in existence.

@NapoleonWilson that's the one I use by default

Napoleon Wilson

@Paulie_D No, you're talking about two different things.

DForck42

@NapoleonWilson I THINK it mostly reliable for anything after ~2015

Napoleon Wilson

3:58 PM

@DForck42 Sounds reasonable, though. It's not a poll, which is good. It's asking for people to make an effin' stand for the questions they love.

DForck42

prior to that I think it's a bit more unreliable

Ankit Sharma

I am ready to take a stand “ban them all”. Take all my rep if you want

DForck42

@NapoleonWilson yeah, at first I was going to make it an outright poll, but decided that was too aggressive and would gather where we are at, as a community

Napoleon Wilson

That just means...a pile of work for the next few weeks, though. But well, such is things. ;-)

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson Not necessarily asking people to make a stand for ID questions - just asking for people's views in general.

DForck42

3:59 PM

rather than blatantly force the issue out cold, which I kind of thing is where a lot of the heat came from last time
