Q: What is the in-universe reason for Yon-Rogg to look like a human

LudovicoNIn the movie Captain Marvel: Besides Mar-Vell, Yon-Rogg is the only Kree with light human skin. I can understand that Mar-Vell is disguised as a human, probably using the same method as Vin-Tak on Agents od SHIELD, but what is the case for Yon-Rogg, since in MCU all Krees have either Blue or for...

Q: TV series, man and woman with a time machine, liquid crystal

A. B.I'd like to know what this TV series was, if anyone recognises it. I remember watching it when I was quite small, so it was on in the 1990s, in England. Of course, that doesn't prove that it was made in the 1990s in England. There was a man and a woman and they had a time machine. I remember o...

Q: 90s YA fantasy series where a warrior meets a sorceress and they travel together

MarkOfPoorMemoryThere may only be two books in the series, one is a regular novel and the other is a choose-your-own-adventure type gamebook. I read them in 1997 so I assume they were written in the 90s, 80s or even 70s. I found them in my school's library on the same shelf as The Adventures of Goldhawk but I do...

You're not one of those that think of trailers as spoilers are you?
 
We've had that conversation already, I don't watch them because most of the time I end up not being able to go to see it in theaters so I'd rather not get hyped
Oct 24 '18 at 14:26, by Jenayah
just that there were so many times I wanted to watch a movie or stuff and eventually couldn't, I figured out it was better not to watch trailers etc so I don't get pissed when I can't watch it in a proper theater and have to settle for streaming three years after

Do we have a policy to make questions no fun?
 
I would have rolled it back but 5 in 15 so here's why he probably did:

1. It was less readable
2. It was imposing a joke on another user (i.e. if the OP had written the Q like that I wouldn't have rolled back)
3. The same joke was already in the comments so you don't lose anything
 
Wait
Not sure why I said "Wait"
Is just for Led Zeppelin songs? The excerpt makes it sound like it's not, but that'd be weird

@Stormblessed of course not, you can use it on Mozart, Asimov and Russian fantasy questions

Are there always so few suggested edits? I've never gotten to review one...
 
Yup
The only reason we had lots recently was you haha
And Jenayah when she goes through tags
Or I should say when she used to seeing as she has auto edit tag privileges now
 
@Stormblessed technically you did, on your own Warp Cafe post
@TheLethalCarrot yep, plus there are no more of the boring classes which motivated me to go through tags ahah
 
I go through tags every now and then, it ain't fun
 
But what TLC said, you're one of the most active suggestor editors lately

Argh, Chat search is thwarting me.
 
What are you looking for?
 
I distinctly recall asking about someone suggesting an edit and reaching 2,000 reputation before the edit gets approved, but I can't find it.
 
in V'dibarta Bam, Jul 12 '18 at 17:50, by Alex
If someone suggests an edit and reaches 2,000 reputation before it is approved, will it automatically be implemented, or will it still need to get approved? If the latter, would he be able to then approve his own edit?
 
Oh. I was looking in here. Thanks.
 
*checks watch* 7 seconds. :P
 
8:36 PM
I any case, the answer is that it still needs to be approved.
 
9:27 PM
I can confirm from experience
 
Where were you last time?
 
Well, for a tag wiki edit which got approved after I reached 20k, but same situation
> If you want to ask me anything, or just chat, I'm pingable anytime in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, SFF's primary chatroom.
TREU, not V'dibarta Bam :P
learn to read :P
 
You don't stalk my comments in other rooms?
 
*hands @Alex some burn salve*
 
@Alex No. Do you?
 
9:29 PM
@Mithrandir Thanks.
@Jenayah Mine, or yours?
 
@Alex mine
 
@Jenayah I don't think there's much to stalk.
 
Hmm, may need to give Jen some of that salve as well.
 
I just meant that 95% of Jenayah's chat comments are in this room.
 
@Alex not that true, I started to be around a bit more in The Screening Room

I just meant that 95% of Jenayah's chat comments are in this room.
 
oh sure ahah
 
As opposed to me where it's only 85%.
 
oh?
I thought you were as active in Mi Yodeya chat as you are here
 
Well, the percentage probably changes if you count the Tavern or not.
 
going by the number of times you posted stuff in Hebrew
 
9:34 PM
@Jenayah I am. But there's not often people to be active with.
@Mithrandir Good point. I talk there much more then Jenayah, so that lowers my relative percentage even more.
 
lol, I must have ~20 messages in the tavern
 
@Jenayah Most of the times that I accidentally post here in Hebrew it's because I'm simultaneously writing a post on Mi Yodeya. In the chat there I usually stick to English.
 
ooooh
 
TREU probably accounts for about 20% of my chat activity? Depends on how you calculate, whether you count private rooms, whether you count game rooms, whether you count the Tavern...
 
Game rooms?
 
9:36 PM
@Alex When I type in Hebrew it's usually because I tried to go back a tab and accidentally just hit ctrl-shift to switch keyboards instead.
 
CTRL shift switches keyboards?
for me it's alt shift
 
There are also a bunch of other Mi Yodeya associated rooms besides V'dibarta Bam where I have a significant amount of comments.

Q: What are these chatrooms with names like 'Codenames', 'Contact', and 'Spyfall'? What are they for?

MithrandirI see there are several rooms hosted on Puzzling on chat.SE that have strange, one-word titles, like: Contact Codenames Spyfall Zendo Strupremum What are these rooms for?

 
For me it's Windows Spacebar.
 
@Alex AH!
We know something new!
You use Windows!
 
9:38 PM
Poor Alex...
 
@Jenayah Eh, that's not the biggest secret.
 
nah it's not about Windows or other OS wars
it's about Alex letting something slip :P
 
Still. I pity Windows users. :P
 
I wouldn't call it "let it slip". I consciously decided that it was insignificant enough to reveal.
But I guess it does narrow down the pool of possibilities if you're trying to spot me.
Unless I get a new computer.
 
@Alex One drop at a time...
@Alex or you get yourself a dual boot, but as you didn't mention it, I'm guessing that's not a thing.
 
9:42 PM
Note to self: Don't use computer in public in France. Jenayah is watching.
 
eheheheh
 
@Jenayah I never heard of that before.
 
basically, having two operating systems on one computer.
 
What's the point?
 
You know how when you boot up Windows, you can e.g. boot it in recovery mode?
 
9:44 PM
It's obviously the big outlines, but that's the gist of it
 
So basically, when I start up my computer, I can choose if I want to run Ubuntu or Windows.
 
Oh. They're not running simultaneously.
 
oh, no
 
Right. For something like that you need WINE or the like.
 
In any case, I have previously mentioned more than one computer, so there still might be one that's not Windows:
Oct 3 '18 at 5:47, by Alex
@Alex Interesting – I assumed it was just because one computer had a better/faster internet connection than the other. But it's actually not the same one that comes first every time. Though it seems that there is a pattern based on which chat room the ping is from.
 
9:48 PM
Given that you've never heard of dual boot, unlikely... :P
 
They could have a Mac
 
Plot twist: I'm playing dumb to mislead you.
 
...or something running Polaris
(lol)
 
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, including comments in rooms on the Meta server brings my percentage down to about 80%.
 
eh, gotta love TREU
 
9:57 PM
And my percentage in V'dibarta Bam will probably be going down now.

Why does Community have a reputation score shown? It never increases or anything, as it’s a bot

as it's a user I'm guessing it still must have a reputation parameter even if it isn't modified

@Stormblessed link?

it was off-topic because it was asking "k I have this thing, what happens if I transpose it to the real world?"
