@user21820 I hope it's still valid in math.se chat rooms to ping multiple people? Also, yes, doing well here. Woke to a chilling -19 degrees Fahrenheit this morning!

Yes indeed!

@leslietownes Hello! And, hello to @AlexanderGruber, @user21820

@AlexanderGruber Agreed. He certainly has a history of retaliation against those who are not aligned with him, and those who criticize him. Thanks for commenting.

@AlexanderGruber I know what you mean. As I experienced, even here in this chat, it's clear any such thoughts (even questions) may not be welcome to some.

leslie I wasn't looking for a lecture, nor for personal advice. In any case, forgive me for having asked.

@user21820, @leslietownes I should have been more clear when referring to "the ill that has befallen the US: Trump as president. Sorry for my vagueness!

^^^ Hey, @Alexander ! I'm interested in any constructive responses to the ill that has befallen this nation. At the same time, venting is fine, too. cc @leslie and @user21820 !

Let us all mourn, as the next four years in the US will be dark.

@leslietownes When is Happy Hour? :)

@mz_ You're in the wrong room, and asking on the wrong site. Go ask on Meta Stack Exchange

@mz_ huh?

@leslietownes all is good, save for the next four years in the US ! post January 20th.

@leslietownes Have you found your way to 2025? :-)

@Arjun Yes indeed, it's a good book; all thanks go to Hermann Hesse! Cheers!

3^4 times 5^2

I'll see y'all next year! ;-)

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy Holidays to all!!

@user21820 I play it a bit later, and get back to you!

@user21820 I love it!

It's a city of 70,000 people centered in a circle with a 90 mile radius of rural folks.

Same here! Nice, indeed! Might head back to the Milwaukee/Madison corridor, for a few days; Eau Claire is a hub for lots of farmers, an Amish Community (taxi'd by Mennonites, both from communities 30-40 miles to the south; lots of hunters and fishing aficionados, "Pink-necks", compared to "red-necks", but none-the-less leaning that way. Lots of bars, lots of loud opinions, somewhat prone to take up conspiracy theories... I need a break!!!

@leslietownes How's your Week prior to X-Mas coming along?

@leslietownes OUCH!!

@leslietownes How's Helena, and "the wife" faring? :)

@leslietownes Sort-a kind-a getting ready! I've been using a small artificial tree for many years, myself. Only a small amount of shopping to do.

@leslietownes Thanks! Are you gearing up for the Holidays?

@user21820 How goes it? Just checking in!

The temperature in this room has slightly lowered, so, proactively, it's not "gonna" freeze anytime soon! =)

@Xander Again, today, I just flagged a very low quality answer (for mod attention), written by the user, along with 8-9 other very low quality answers, all just now appearing in the low-quality-queue. Let me know if you need any other examples, though the relevant user's profile should reveal many other examples.

@XanderHenderson Great!

@XanderHenderson I'll check, but this user has been flooding the site with very poor questions and answers.

@Xander There's a new user, effective today, that's posted three very low quality questions and eight very low quality answers, all within a two to three hour time frame. Let me know how to send you the username, though I've already recently flagged a poor answer from them. The latter may be easier; just be sure to check the user's profile page, again, created just today.

^It hardly qualifies as a comment allowed under the "hallowed 'Code of Conduct'"

@JohnOmielan It's snark, indeed, and I don't think it's acceptable. But I'll let a moderator answer this.

Thanks for the two comments, @Xander

Also, can a moderator review the exchange of comments in this chat?

@Xander I need to speak with you, at your convenience, particularly given my most recent flag.

To @XanderHenderson and all moderators: Happy Holidays to All! And this year, the first day of Chanukah (sp?) is the same day as is Christmas. Cheers to all, and in particular, may the Holidays give you each some much deserved rest, relaxation, and celebration!

@XanderHenderson Hilarious!

Thanks, @terdon and @Mast.

@terdon Neither were the very first comments okay. That user is overgeneralizing, AND characterizing people.

Welcome!! Glad you're back.
