@JeffAtwood lol. I almost can
I let my friend crash at my place for a month. Despite her vacuuming every day, and the robot vac, I'm still finding cat hair in wierd places
@M.A.R. Oh no, not again!

@JourneymanGeek Never get a golden retriever. Once you do, you just learn that hair will be everywhere no matter what you do
Though they are 10/10 good doggos
@Wollzy Oh, I have an approved list of small breeds
I used to own a snauzer cross ?????? , I've my heart on a westie but I'm not in a situation to get one at the moment
Westies are cute dogs. Like little teddy bears. We want a 2nd dog, most likely another retriever to match our current ones demeanor
Though I don't know how I feel about teaching another retriever that the neighbors cows are not big dogs that bark funny and that they don't want to play.
@Wollzy Lot of personality. There used to be someone who frequented one of our old regular parks who had 4. One of them would herd the other 3 into the back, then wait to be carried up into the front seat :D
Haha
For years and years I wanted an English Bulldog, but after a friend explained all the health upkeep they required I decided I would just admire other people's English Bulldogs instead
02:52
lol
One of the neighbours had 2 (not at the same time)
lovely dogs, but I would never own a brachiosephalic dog
I like my dogs to have snouts :D
I'm slightly collie obsessed but there's no chance I can own one
Yea the standard for breeding had gotten so bad for them too. Thankfully they are shifting the standard so they have less health issues. But agreed, I like dogs with snouts as well. A few years ago I learned that pugs originally had an elongated snout until it was bred out of them
My son's friend has 2 border collies and they are hilarious. Both of them are constantly vying for the attention of the person who comes in the door
(most housing here is public and I have a list of approved breeds, and private housing is prohibitvely expensive)
@Wollzy same as with bulldogs really
American bulldogs are closer to the OG, and they're very different from the british ones
longer legs for example
Yea I imagined the English Bulldog was quite a bit different, especially since they bred them to a point where C-section was required to deliver a little.
Its unfortunate terrible owners have give the American Bulldog such a bad reputation. They have been some of the sweetest dogs I have come across
03:02
Oh, and there was scratch. Lovely friendly little british bulldog, one eye was kinda very droopy.
@Wollzy honestly, I've never met a big dog with a bad temprement
Granted they require A LOT of training and attention
(ok other than huskies)
True of almost any dog really
@JourneymanGeek True. I remember when my son was about 7 he came across great dane and was nervous. I explained to him that usually big dogs are some of the biggest babies out there
yup
(and heh, when I got my place, even if I'm quite a few years away, I was looking at walking routes, safe play areas...)

04:23
yup, they're back
04:44
@ElementsInSpace a YouTube link? Are you rickrolling me?
I've only ever been rickrolled like thrice.
@M.A.R. You can pretend you didn’t fall for it, but I saw you.
05:10
-_-
some strange recent suspensions going on
@PetəíŕdtheWizard Sorry Petəíŕd, I really can’t say anything about that.
@ElementsInSpace yeah, I also don't really know why I was suspended. :/
05:49
@M.A.R. so fun fact. I've a post on meta which literally linked rickroll and people fell for it

@PetəíŕdtheWizard If you were suspended, you should have a mod message explaining why you were
If you didn't, well, use the contact link and let them know. You're owed an explanation to why you're suspended usually
06:37
@JourneymanGeek I did get it, but it was just a generic "behavior violating CoC" "messages and rooms have been deleted" and such stuff. I have replied to them back asking what they were, but they did not reply.
....
again?
That's how many times so far?
I don't know. I don't remember anything from my recent messages (after my room was undeleted) that could violate the CoC.
I mean, how many times have you gotten suspended for chat related things?
@JourneymanGeek many times, but they all were in 2023, the long past.
Probably it's because of my past messages from December to February in my room, but if so, it is weird to suspend for that a month after.
well yes, for the purposes of "feedback and education to keep people from shooting themselves in the feet again" its useful
and honestly, if I try to feedback/ask on your behalf , and you're not telling the whole truth, I'm covered :D
(once I work out if/how, I've a lot on my mind at the moment ._.)
But yeah, you gotta work out where you're going wrong, and... stop doing it ;)
Also since its april fools day... and we apparently don't partake any more...
funraniumlabs.com/2015/04/an-april-fools-cautionary-tale A story even @Tinkeringbell might appreciate :D
07:06
@JourneymanGeek that's what I'm trying to do, and failing
and COC violations are serious

@ElementsInSpace Allah (and the censors) are on my side. I don't usually click on any YouTube link since unless I turn on the VPN it's blocked.
@ElementsInSpace Boo! Rage against the machine
I feel like I'm always missing out on good drama.
@JourneymanGeek How is that a cautionary tale? He(?) just pranked them right back
09:19
@JourneymanGeek rush.nl/… is probably the 'funniest' I've seen today. Hope translate does it justice.
@PetəíŕdtheWizard No promises. But if you want me to, I can see if I can poke someone and ask whether they can give you some more details?
@Tinkeringbell Is that an 800 Series ACF on the right? I’ve literally got 6 of them.
@ElementsInSpace No, no, this is obviously a very special edition. Read the description! :P
It has a built-in etiquette thing and makes your voice sound royal :P
One of mine has an L button and an H button (for line and hold).
But I know how to drink tea already.
09:35
I don't, I still sometimes burn my tongue.
I have been thinking of getting a second sim card and a dumb phone, for in-house purposes.
Would be nice if you could get something like those old models :D
09:46
oh in theory those would still work with VOIP
so no need for a sim card
I pay for telephone, I use telephone. Not VOIP. :P
It's the principle of the matter. ;-)
Oh those are bundled with internet connections here
$deity knows why
Oh sure my phone plan includes 5G, 'regular' calls and SMS :P But I'm not going to let calls go over 5G/WiFi, it's too flaky.
Gran complains she can't hear me when I enable that.
no no
I mean the fixed line internet connection :D
Oh. That one only does internet here, no phones, afaik

@Tinkeringbell Thanks, yes I'd want to.

@ElementsInSpace with your pinky sticking out?
13:07
@PetəíŕdtheWizard Okay, I've tried :)
13:35
Daily confession:
Every time I have to work with columns formula in SharePoint I find myself dreaming to bash the [insert insult here] that though it would be good to LOCALIZE FORMULA NAMES with a cactus.
One of those with those white, fur like needles that you can't remove and leave you with a burning sensation for the rest of the day.
14:00
test
3
marks as received , marks as read
this is a test of the test testing system test
@JourneymanGeek You wanted to archive this content, that's fine Stanley. But I'm going to destroy it first, so you can't
14:17
Just... nobody panic. It's ONLY a test.
(of how many users can panic at once)
@Tinkeringbell Instructions unclear. I am now pancake.
Hmm. Here, have some syrup?
14:34
@VLAZ FINALLY ANOTHER PONY HERE!!
@VLAZ Hello Twily, glad to see you here today.
15:02
an uncanny silence descended on the room, users looking awkwardly at the thousand years old elf happily playing with some plush toy ponies
