we don't remove records from the db except in very rare circumstances

and that has to be done by hand by art or undo

@iBug Interesting..I have been using grammarly extension for writing elsewhere and editing here in SE. Will the userscript make it better?

@SurajRao Grammarly

I know it for its extensive ads.

Could also be a good option in addition to Magic™ Editor

Suraj Rao

havent got ads.. but it has tiered features.. I find basic enough though..

having false positives in the database is good for regression testing, but of course they need to be correctly identified as not spam in order for that to be useful

What I have trouble understanding is the issue with helping a follow man by creating a walk through video.

@doppelgreener @Andy remarks about how no user needs to watch a 23 minute video makes me believe he is taken issue with the link and the length of the video. The user is about to go live with a wordpress app and I figure an complete walk through video would help. The funny thing about a youtube video is that you can fast forward, pause, play, and etc.

@Videonauth this looks awesome

oh, in related news, who's heard that computers are about to get 20% slower?

like, all the computers

ArtOfCode

yeah :(

Videonauth

all you need to do is having all the proper xtraction routines installed and type extract <name>

@Undo oh yes, don't get me started again :P

looks like it's an AMD chip for the next build update

Videonauth

Undo

@ArtOfCode Think those hour-of-day charts could have ticks for every hour?

DJMcMayhem

@quartata What happened?

Glorfindel

@ArtOfCode thx, great!

@ArtOfCode 1,2,3,4,5,6... instead of 5,10,15

Or at least even numbers

@Undo not without me having to actually figure out how to use Sheets' charts :)
