10:00 PM

But it isn't anymore

That accolade goes to a picture of a box of cereal

Beating a picture of chicken schnitzel by roughly 400 views

if you find someone's google account, and find where all the photos they've made on google maps are, can you find their address?

Update: My cat saw the neighborhood cat, the cat hissed at my cat, then my cat made a noise and ran away with his tail fluffed

Original Original Original VI

@Lyxal What's so special about it? It looks like a normal street to me.

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI it's the bridge that's special

ChartZ Belatedly

3 mins ago, by Lyxal

It's the rickroll bridge

10:01 PM

Because the bridge will never give you up nor let you down

Original Original Original VI

What does that mean?

It's seen in the video

ChartZ Belatedly

It's the bridge Rick Astley is dancing next to/under in the video

Original Original Original VI

Ohhh

Redwolf Programs

OSP should be moved over now

Original Original Original VI

10:03 PM

@RedwolfPrograms Please keep us informed of further developments

@RedwolfPrograms not so polite then.

Smh

@RedwolfPrograms What colour is your cat?

ChartZ Belatedly

@RedwolfPrograms Looks like there should be some posts to be linked to today/tomorrow, so we should know pretty quickly if something's up

Redwolf Programs

\]

ChartZ Belatedly

That's a pretty color :P

2

Redwolf Programs

Cat sorry

The other one

10:05 PM

\]<enter> are suspiciously close together

was it the cat?

Redwolf Programs

Yep

My question is still unanswered. This is so sad.

Redwolf Programs

Here I'll try to get a picture of one

Original Original Original VI

@Lyxal I'll answer it for you - it's somewhere between #000000 and #ffffff

Do I get the bounty for unanswered questions now? :P

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI how do you know that. The cat could be a colour that computers can't display.

10:07 PM

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI make that eight digits and you account for the cat being transparent :)

4

ChartZ Belatedly

Just do what I do, and always have the dog picture available :P

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI So therefore you don't

Original Original Original VI

Aww, I guess I'll have to delete my answer if it's invalid.

Precisely

This is the cat that jumped on my keyboard

10:10 PM

Is that gray or brown?

ChartZ Belatedly

Yes

I can never tell the difference between the two

Redwolf Programs

Brown

user image

This is the cat that got scared

In his natural un-scared state

Original Original Original VI

I don't know why, but his expression makes me laugh.

Redwolf Programs

He always looks like that. Huge eyes, never closes his mouth all the way, etc.

10:11 PM

this is the gist of my cat:

@RedwolfPrograms that would be browncat programs

user image

ChartZ Belatedly

I don't think I have any pictures of my cats on my computer tbh, all on my phone

Took me 9 minutes but I finally made the joke I wanted to make

Redwolf Programs

@ChartZBelatedly Neither did I, I had to go take those really quickly

Original Original Original VI

10:13 PM

@Lyxal Browncat?

Redwolf Programs

The one of the cat by my laptop happened just before the \] incident

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI yes

ChartZ Belatedly

\] (two backticks, slash, bracket, two backticks)

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI I instigated a whole discussion for a single name pun

Redwolf Programs

I just cheated with a zero width space :p

Original Original Original VI

10:14 PM

@ChartZBelatedly A robot whose face got slashed?

Redwolf Programs

I like that it looks like my first cat was typing on a laptop

Original Original Original VI

It probably was.

Does anyone ever just completely forget what day of the week it is and think it's a day it's not?

Redwolf Programs

Who doesn't :p

Original Original Original VI

Yep

Especially during summer

10:18 PM

Because I'm feeling like its Saturday when it's only Friday

ChartZ Belatedly

Especially since Covid and lockdowns

It's Friday?

I thought it was Thurday

For me

Redwolf Programs

Lyxal lives in the future

5

ChartZ Belatedly

Right, of course :P

Redwolf Programs

We've gone over this c'mon

10:19 PM

It's Friday in upside down land

@ChartZBelatedly how do you not remember this?

Original Original Original VI

Wait, so not only do you guys have reversed gravity, time also works differently?

ChartZ Belatedly

I literally just said I've had trouble keeping track of days, let alone timezones :P

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI seems so

Original Original Original VI

I really need to go Down Under

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI You dont want to do that. Tell me, what temperatures do you usually get where you live?

ChartZ Belatedly

10:20 PM

I've been to a decent number of countries, never been into the Southern hemisphere

Think the closest I got was either LA or Madeira, depending on which one is further south

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI Because if you are used to anything below 27 celcius during summer, you won't find our summer very nice.

Redwolf Programs

27 celsius in summer would be awesome

ChartZ Belatedly

Agreed

27 celsius is boiling, I would turn into a puddle

Original Original Original VI

@Lyxal Room temperature's around 69 degrees fahrenheit

10:22 PM

I prefer 17 celsius

Original Original Original VI

@rak1507 ?

Redwolf Programs

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI It's 68 :p

Original Original Original VI

17 celsius is kinda cold

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI scotland for ya

Original Original Original VI

Oh

ChartZ Belatedly

10:23 PM

Scotland is not exactly the place for sunbathers :P

plenty of people 'sunbathe' in scotland, not that there's much sun to bathe in

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI nice.

Redwolf Programs

Temperatures approaching 50°C have been recorded in Texas, although it's usually closer to 40

@rak1507 then you definitely wouldn't survive the heat waves where we have high 30s for several days

Original Original Original VI

It used to be pretty hot where I lived, although we moved to a colder place

10:25 PM

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI oh that's good then. You'd probably be fine in summer here

@Lyxal in scotland? definitely not, but in a country with proper cooling, it'd probably be fine

Original Original Original VI

I thought there'd be snow everywhere, and that it would be this beautiful, easily moldable, soft substance, but it was just disappointing :(

ChartZ Belatedly

So long as you have decent aircon, high heat isn't too bad

Problem is that the UK does not have aircon, at all

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI If you don't mind my asking, whereabouts?

Redwolf Programs

I have never been in a building in Texas that did not have an A/C

It's weird to me that there are places without them

Original Original Original VI

@ChartZBelatedly About the middle of the US, latitude-wise

10:27 PM

@ChartZBelatedly my asking? How do I mine it?

Original Original Original VI

We do get snow, but not a whole lot, and it quickly turns into an annoyance.

ChartZ Belatedly

@Lyxal Got the edit in under the wire :P

Dang it. I shoulda waited just a few seconds more

ChartZ Belatedly

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI Yeah, that's pretty similar here as well :(

Redwolf Programs

I've had enough snow for a lifetime in Jan/Feb

ChartZ Belatedly

10:28 PM

Proper snow is amazing :P

@ChartZBelatedly so close yet so far

Original Original Original VI

It's still not as easy to turn into snowballs as I'd wished it'd be.

Redwolf Programs

Snow's nice until it takes out your water and electricity and roads

2

Original Original Original VI

@RedwolfPrograms Oh right I forgot about that

ChartZ Belatedly

I had a day in Jan in Austria where it snowed 2 meters overnight, the skiing was amazing :D

@RedwolfPrograms Just winterize your power grid :P

Redwolf Programs

10:29 PM

No skiing here, but we did sit in laundry baskets and sled down hills :p

Original Original Original VI

^

ChartZ Belatedly

That's the next best thing tbh

@RedwolfPrograms and blocks your burrow

ChartZ Belatedly

Aside from strapping a skateboard to your feet and trying to board :P

Redwolf Programs

Wouldn't be surprised if people tried that, there's a massive hill in a park near my house and I heard there were a ton of people there

10:39 PM

Wtf is this so good

11:00 PM

A fact about LotM: I will be awarding bounties for Factor for a while even though it's April already :P

Or should I award all of them instantly?

ChartZ Belatedly

Is this for the outstanding ones from March?

Right

If you need (/ want) help to get through them I'll gladly offer some too :P

ChartZ Belatedly

Well, you can only have 3 bounties set at once, and I think it's polite to let them stand at least for a couple of days to attract any final attention to the answer, so you might be doing them for a while

Original Original Original VI

@Bubbler Sorry for all the requests, but for any bounties you award to me, it's fine if you award them as soon as possible.

11:12 PM

now that it's Friday, my smart meter now says I spent £1.46 on 6.9 kWh on Tuesday, but both Wednesday's and Thursday's 6.82 kWh cost £2209.21

ChartZ Belatedly

@NewSandboxedPosts The number of times I wrote "dominates" in that, it no longer feels like a word :P

11:29 PM

@Neil "6.9". Nice

11:43 PM

> You may award your bounty worth 200 reputation in 23 hours

Since when was this a thing?

Always was.

Haven't bounties always had a minimum 1-day period before you could actually grant them?

I remember I once awarded my bounty right away

Might be wrong though

ChartZ Belatedly

@Neil You beat the closure of a question again :P

Got to love caching errors

I was wrong, I did award the bounty right after 1 day has passed :/
