Q: What was the point of the 'Spear'?

ValorumAround halfway through the film, the ship encounters a 'spear', a long cylindrical object moving on a parallel trajectory to the Aniara, at a marginally higher speed. The captain and senior crew seem convinced that it's a probe sent from Earth and likely containing fuel rods. However, So wha...

Q: 70s or earlier post-apocalyptic short fiction with only one man and one woman remaining

AlfredI'm almost sure I read it in english, in a collection, more than 40 years ago. It was just possibly a shortish novelette, probably a short-story. A plague has decimated mankind. Even though a cure did exist, only a single man managed to get access to it before everybody else was killed. He still...

Q: Are all versions of Jonas part of the same loop?

IrigiIn the season 2 finale of Dark (Netflix), there are two versions of Jonas from the future: the young Jonas and the older Jonas (also known as Stranger). After seeing the episode, it seems to me, that the young Jonas is more informed than the older Jonas. For example, the older Jonas tries to sa...

There's another stupid story-id question that I'm considering to ask. This one is worse, because I remember very little of the film. But I do remember enough details that should be enough to uniquely identify it.
I could post it as contrast to my super-detailed ID question.

Q: 90's (?) fantasy novel where character uses blue ley lines to transform into dragon

What’s the point of the arrow anyway? I don’t have it, and the score therefore displays correctly. — Alex 5 hours ago
@Alex I think you're using the web responsive whatever version?
 
@Jenayah You're right. For some reason I thought I made sure not to.
In any case, that still doesn't explain what the point of the arrow is in the first place.
 
6:28 PM
The arrow means "score"
Which is debatable as a score can be negative
Also it's not clickable
 
@Stormblessed You can race Jenayah who needs 19 more answers for a gold badge.
@Jenayah Why does an arrow mean score?
 
6:51 PM
scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/71984/… is not about Science Fiction or Fantasy?
 
@Alex don't ask me, I didn't design it
 
@Jenayah But you brought it to my attention.
That makes it your fault.
You disrupted my otherwise perfect equilibrium.
 
*raises eyebrow*
 
There are so many ways to interpret that...
 
@Alex I don't know, ask on Meta :)
 
6:59 PM
@Jenayah Was thinking of it.
But I don't know if Meta is currently accepting questions about regular stuff.
 
It's for voting. It's about the votes, so it gets a vote mark - an arrow.

Q: HP Fanfic where sirius is in a relationship with a healer named Sebastian and they take custody of harry

James AndrewsI remember several details about this story: Sirius is gay, I believe his boyfriend was named Sebastian. At one point his boyfriend (Sebastian) was called in because it turned out Ron's body had been greatly damaged by smallpox as a child, and his magic had taken over several organ's functions ...

 
@Alex Y'know it'd actually be a bit of fresh air to have some regular meta question
 
@Marvin Wasn't this just asked earlier?
@Jenayah But now I;m used to a guaranteed 50+ upvotes, so a regular post will be a letdown.
 
Why did you delete the same question and ask it again? — TheLethalCarrot 3 mins ago
@Alex you don't know. Maybe the novelty of it will bring even more upvotes
Or you could try to get even more downvotes and see if that comment is shown to be true:
They will fix that. But when they reach -10,000, it will break again. — Victor Stafusa 58 mins ago

Q: A display of a post's score shouldn't claim to be a display of the post's number of votes

AlexOn certain tabs in your activity page, there is a number next to a post which is labeled as referring to the number of votes. For example, in the Bounties tab: However, this is not quite an accurate description. The number displayed there is actually the post's score, rather than the number of...

It seems to be the same assumption that upvotes = score.
 
On the other hand, what kind of icon would you suggest for score?
Although I do agree that it's a mistaken assumption.

Lucy Lawless started playing Xena at 27 years old i...

 
@Jenayah Is an icon necessary?
 
If there's gonna be an icon for the answers, you probably want an icon for the score.
Breaks the flow otherwise
 
If we find Meta posts asking what the number is next to questions, we can link them to the tour.
@Jenayah What’s the icon for answers?

Q: What is the origin of the Blue Falcon?

Russ RainfordIs there a proper, established backstory for the cartoon hero the Blue Falcon? Granted he's supposed to be a bit of a Batman spoof hero, but he seems to have grown beyond that. What's his background, his training and how did he come to be? Or are we to just believe that Radley Crowne just "Decid...

 
Agree to disagree :)
 
Where's the fun in that?
At least disagree to disagree.
 
@Alex calm down, Azaz

Azaz (Arabic: أعزاز‎ A‘zāz, Hurrian: Azazuwa, Medieval Greek: Αζάζιον, romanized: Azázion, Neo-Assyrian: Ḫazazu, Old Aramaic: Ḥzz) is a city in northwest Syria, roughly 20 miles (32 kilometres) north-northwest of Aleppo. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Azaz had a population of 31,623 in the 2004 census. As of 2015, its inhabitants were almost entirely Sunni Muslims, mostly Arabs but also Kurds and Turkmen.It is historically significant as the site of the Battle of Azaz between the Crusader States and the Seljuk Turks on June 11, 1125.

@Jenayah The mistake is posting it as a question instead of an answer. Just in case it ends up with a score of +90/-1300 like Sara's, at least the upvotes would be worth twice as much.
Does the automatic deletion of "thank you" from a flag work on answers too?
 
@Alex eh?
 
Anyway, I hear they're giving out free reputation if you post an answer to that question. Everyone get involved!
 
Meh
 
@Jenayah She earned 450 reputation from the upvotes but lost 2,600 from the downvotes. If it had been an answer instead, she would have earned 900 from the upvotes.
 
9:16 PM
Whatever the root cause, it's a bit too serious to be a rep whore about it.
 
Well the above person is about to hit the reputation limit from writing two words.
 
Flag the thing for it to become a CW if you're worried
 
I'm not worried. Just making an observation.
 
58 score in 20 minutes, that's gotta be a record acceleration.

Q: How fast did the Aniara travel?

@Alex We get one or two Harry Potter question here per day. Easier than find the occasional Meta post like that.
Although yes, 70 score is quite something. That's higher than my highest scoring answer.
 
@b_jonas My highest scoring answer is 174, though that’s almost double my next highest so perhaps something unique happened there. My one Meta queation relating to recent events has far outscored any question I’ve asked in any site.
