hi

greetings

morning :)

Morning!

⊂°Δ∇Δ_/∇Δ∇Δ_/∇∇Δ===>

Okay guess the animal.

first letter is the same as my name.

lizard?

Has a bit of an alligator/snake vibe too though :P

:P

@Tinkeringbell Haha first guess and we instantly have THE winner :D I attempted to make it look as a generic reptile with these triangles that were supposed to resemble scales, so alligator/snake vibe is exactly what I want.

Okay it was way too easy, guess this, first letter is "e" and it doesn't have a spine. Once you guess correct, I will translate from Polish a joke about this animal.

⊂≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈ι≈-

@lila sea or terrestrial?

@CaldeiraG terrestrial and lives in the soil.

earthworm ? :)

@ArthurHv Haha it was way too easy, wasn't it? :D

Earthworm yes, and here is that joke:

my english is not that good so i kept thinking about worm but wrong letter

i had to google something

A child learns in school that apparently if you cut an earthworm in half, then each half will survive and live independently as a separate earthworm. Child comes home and asks dad "hey dad, if I cut the earthworm in half, will these two new worms be friends?" and dad says "haha, they certainly won't be friends with YOU" :D

^^

@ArthurHv Oh really, I think it's good, I didn't notice anything while reading your messages, I also often have to google words.

:D

Okay this should be so easy that I am not giving the first letter, guess this:

 \_@

snail :P

@CaldeiraG It's snail yes :D okay I need to take a break to think of something more difficult next time.

eheh

@lila important question..

What's that game called in Polish, and does it mean something similar to 'don't be angry/upset, man'?

But back then I was thinking that "man, don't be irritated" is just an allusion that this game is frustrating :D

@lila ;) Thank you. You've provided great anecdotal evidence for a conversation in the Tavern just now :P

@Tinkeringbell Haha okay you're welcome :D

@Tinkeringbell By the way if you want non-anecdotal, more solid evidence, you could go to Wikipedia article about this game and on the left there are links to the same article in different languages, you could then translate these titles via google translator; also, I checked and for Slavic languages: Czech, Slovak, Serbian, Macedonian, Croatian, Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian it is all "don't be nervous/mad/irritated, man!".

Hahaha yeah but wikipedia isn't as much fun as asking people ;)

@Tinkeringbell In French, we call it "little horse"

Well, "li'le horse" might be a more accurate translation

@Tinkeringbell don't be upset in PT, actually, I have this game at home :)

@CaldeiraG We have one too, and a version that you can play with 6 people and playing cards instead of dice :)

neat

!!/blame

uh

what chatrooms does the bot respond? aside from CHQ

Tavern

That's all I know though :D

i see :)

eh

no luck

i forget markdown breaks on multiline stuff

Wow I looked at the deleted message and it looks like some sort of horror error message, one of the most cryptic I have ever seen :D

If something like this was to suddenly appear on screen while I am browsing web I would probably duck under the desk and start sobbing :D

@ips cat please

Owww, no bot here :(

@cald In case you don't know, bot is dead

(At first I though bot was here, but it was "just" @Arthur ^^)

It might've gone offline when this happened? Another chatbot on meta chat seems to have suffered the same fate.

 ^ ^
=o.o=

Okay nevermind it doesn't work.

@lila I like this kitty version. Even though the ears are definitively not working ^^

@Tinkeringbell SE is killing our bots :'(

:p

Poor quality cat substitute, a placeholder until they fix the bot.

@Ael Poor bots :( I don't think SE would deliberately kill all of them though: SmokeDetector does just a good enough job of detecting spam that it'll probably be kept alive :P

:p

There is also this one:

(yes, I am posting pictures of ASCII art :p )

Grumpy cat is too narrow. I like the bottom one though!

@Ael Haha both are nice! But this is cheating, I thought these were legitimately made from ascii :D

@lila I tried to use some "legitimate" ascii ones, but when I copy-paste them they all got deformed :'(

@Ael I know I also tried this in the past and it all gets deformed if it's bigger size than postage stamp.

Looks like cats are back on the menu, boys!

@IPSCommentBot cat?

@Ael it's back on, apparently API went down for a sec

or my internet

one of the two

yesterday it was very slow (the wifi I mean, raspberry has a sweet CAT6 cable)

couldn't get past 3mbps on my room

@IPSCommentBot Awww, so cute!

@CaldeiraG Thanks cald :)

@Tinkeringbell good point

I need to do some changes to the code

it doesn't seem to recover when it goes down

@Ael yw :)

@CaldeiraG Oh well, take your time! :) I appreciate all you do for it, but it shouldn't become a chore!

@Tinkeringbell it's not :)

Good to know :P Then go forth and fix bugs, I guess :P

api downtime is not consistent with the error log

it went down yesterday at 3.35pm

tried to reconnect until 4pm and gave up :P

good news: while i'm not getting my pc back :(, i'm allowed to bring my own drive and backup stuff that's left there

it took a trip to their office to explain me this

I feel like this :p

Do you consider dogs to be filthy animals?

All my tests env are down, I am very sad :(

@lila Not more, nor less than other animals. Why?

Me looking at IPS main:

@lila A bit? But that's true for most animals, I guess :P It's mostly the owners that let their dogs get/be filthy, I think.

@Ael Yeah... I've tried asking questions more but even I can't come up with good ones so :(

The rpg one we have now is good, though I'm almost feeling sorry for the OP that there isn't a good answer yet... I'd almost suggest migrating it to RPG just so it can have the attention it deserves.

Though I think RPG doesn't necessarily do as much for questions where the relationship outside of the game is also this important for an OP?

@Tinkeringbell Ah, with the floody answers I hadn't even notice this RPG one ^^'

I'm gonna read it now

@Tinkeringbell Yeah, it doesn't look like it belongs on RPG

@Ael @Tinkeringbell Okay thanks, I was just curious of people's opinion. And I wouldn't go so far as to call dogs filthy animals but they are definitely dirty, but dogs have personality and personality goes a long way, and I was also curious whether you connect my question with Pulp Fiction because that question was taken directly from that movie :D

I've never watched that movie ...

Me neither, so...

^^

I do know our neighbors had quite a few filthy dogs, but that was mostly due to neglect...

I guess I took it a bit too serious :P

@Tinkeringbell however it looks consistent to this question

question asked on 15:44

Haha I guess it might sound serious outside of the context, but it's not serious and from a movie and that's why it's funny, oh not really? Okay, but at least for me it was funny :D and Journeyman Geek watched that movie :D

Ah, that could of course have been it too :D

it was it most likely

Oh this thing with chat rooms, yesterday or two days ago (I'm not sure) I was disconnected from all 3 chats I've been logged on, I had to refresh the pages, I usually don't remember events like this for long because I am using wireless connection and frequently have problems, I assumed it was this or I did something wrong, yes there was a problem recently with this.

@lila yesterday most likely

i'm a bit confused though

how can you "log out" of a chat room

isn't it based at the last time you sent a message?

@CaldeiraG I don't know details but if you have an open tab with the chat then your avatar appears indefinitely in that list of people in the room until you close the tab, the time since last message only makes it progressively fade away but never disappear, it disappears if you close the tab or get disconnected from the internet, after than you need to refresh the page or you won't get any notifications.

And maybe I get this wrong, but if you click on "leave room" then you disappear immediately, if you just close with "x" then you disappear after 15 minutes.

I mean you are logged in if your avatar appears on the list of people in the room.

oh that makes sense

 /\ /\
  o.o
 = ^ =

@lila A rabbit?

It's funny how my special police character make it looks like a rabbit, but if I deactivate it, it's "clearly" a cat

(if you are curious, the police is: "Open Dyslexia")

@Ael I am trying to make a better cat than before because I am embarrassed of the cat I did before.

@Ael Police? Did you mean typeface?

Sorry, "font"

^^

I always forget it's not called "police" in English ><

don't worry it's ok :D

I am searching to see trying out fonts online to see this difference

@lila I like all the cats and fishs and other creature you do. Don't be embarrassed :D

@lila If you are on firefox: addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/mobile-dyslexic

@Ael Thanks!

And for Chrome users: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/opendyslexic-font-for-chr/…

@Ael Okay thanks for info! For a moment I was shocked, "how do you know that I am using firefox? :O" then next message calmed me down :D

If someone wants to see here it is:

@lila Ahah xD In truth, that's because I'm a mind reader but I shouldn't tell you that, so I pretend I am not :p

@lila That's not the same as the one you posted earlier. The "=" are at the wrong place

@Ael Haha interesting, because you know, I am also a mind reader but I can only read in my own mind. But still, I am mind reader :D

@Ael Oh so you meant that last version, I just tried it out but I saw it as ugly and misplaced.

@lila Well, I find it both cute, so... ^^

@lila I sometimes struggle to read mine, so we have equal amount of powers then :p

Okay guess what animal this llama is and I will tell you whether you guessed right, the first letter in the name of this animal is the same as first letter in my name.

@lila It's a lama. You put the answer in your question :p

was about to say that

@Ael No I'm sorry because lama is not correct, please keep on guessing what animal this llama is.

:D

Okay okay, the joke is that I said first letter is the same as in my name, and I gave the answer right away so apparently also my intelligence is the same as this animal's intelligence.

@lila xD

Also, that's not a llama, it's an alpaca.

@lila Do spit as well?

common mistake ;-)

@Ael Haha yes they spit :D

@FadedGiant Maybe it looks like an alpaca, but move the screen close to your nose and sniff, you will clearly sniff the smell of a llama.

@lila Sorry, I forget the "you" in my sentence ^^

@Ael Oh okay, so yes I used to spit around all the time, but once the bug hit us in March it became criminal offence to spit and I can't spit any longer since then ^.^

@lila Plus, I'm assuming that spiting while wearing a mask might not be very comfortable :p

@Ael Haha yes, but ironically my current mask itself makes me want to spit sometimes because it's made of some filthy material that is pilling, I mean, little annoying strands of fabric are declaring independence and separating from the mask to go into my mouth and the feeling is gross.

@lila I cannot sniff, I have milk on my nose.

@lila Sounds really bad :/ Maybe you should buy a new one?

@FadedGiant Are you trying to muder me with cutess? If yes, you are doing great so far

:p

@FadedGiant Haha okay, is this your cat? Sweet ^.^

@Ael I want but they are hard to find, my first mask used ever was 100% cotton and absolutely no strands came off, it felt so natural, like a cloth, but I lost it somehow, I don't know how but I suspect that I might have thrown it away together with trash one day, now all masks I see have the texture and feel of a stiff cardboard and are made of some artificial materials.

@lila I'm sorry to hear that :/ I hope you will find a good one soon

oh it's ok and not really that bad

Oh by the way, I have never ever dropped a phone into the toilet, and as I see on the internet, it is apparently a really common accident. But I have never ever drowned a phone in toilet water.

And you?
