[02:22:33] New CreateWiki UI?? [02:22:34] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/917964334863384576/unknown.png [02:29:52] UI?? [02:38:47] Meta is rather snappy now [02:38:50] so hurray? [03:19:31] No [03:19:38] Just bad rendering [03:19:48] Of course, it's a joke :) [03:46:49] it's always load for me like this, taking quite long to be rendered normal [03:47:15] idk why my connection tends to be good [03:47:40] and only w/ this special page [09:59:05] lowkey feel bad about deleting such stuff [09:59:06] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/918079227222450216/IMG_20211208_125742.jpg [10:01:38] wait, Agent - can I still have the image dump itself? [12:55:11] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/918123541881319464/unknown.png [12:55:15] out of context :p [12:56:27] I dont get it [12:56:51] I like the numbers ¯_(ツ)_/¯ [12:58:07] Lmao that's funny. [12:58:28] Referring to the numbers, not the user who made the block. [12:58:48] It was on a test wiki, so it's all good. [12:58:54] The test wiki, I should say. [12:59:06] I wasn't even aware MediaWiki supported this one, though. [12:59:07] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/918124529899954206/unknown.png [12:59:24] 4 millennia? [12:59:38] In the right communities I could absolutely see an admin who makes numbers like this instead of indefinite blocks. [13:00:13] That's like grounding someone for thousands of years. (Referencing GoAnimate grounded videos.) [13:00:27] It's a permaban that rubs in salt, basically. [13:00:39] Lmao true. [13:01:31] Mediawiki can handlr any length of time iirc [13:02:25] "Handlr"? Did you mean "handle"? Sorry, but I'm just pointing out the error. [13:02:42] Yes [13:03:07] People do say that I am detail-oriented. And that skill can apply anywhere. [13:03:16] I also just woke up and plan on returning to bed [13:03:22] I'd like it applied to Crappy Games Wiki's group structure :p [13:03:23] Cus its cold here [13:03:32] You [13:03:45] You're not in Alaska, are you? [13:03:49] No [13:03:52] And sorry for the ghost ping. [13:04:05] Cold as hell in Michigan at the moment tbh, even if I often simply ignore cold [13:04:30] In the mid of winter I imagine that would apply to many places [13:04:37] It's 32 degrees where I am at the moment, in Gloucester, Massachusetts. [13:04:54] A fair few degrees higher than where I'm at [13:04:57] My town is known for fisheries and all that shit. [13:05:29] Mine's known for a lake that's unwise to swim in even during summer, thanks to the temperature :p [13:06:00] At least your town isn't known for smelling like dead fish. [13:06:20] Na, just for dusting everyone's houses with the regional mining work [13:06:42] hehe fahrenheit [13:07:14] even in fahrenheit I think outside has dipped below 0 here >.> [13:07:36] To get better in the course of the day naturally. [13:07:43] it's raining a lot here [13:07:56] https://www.gortons.com/ Gorton's been known for serving out fish sticks, and has been around a long time. In fact, since 1849. [13:07:57] [url] Gorton’s Seafood – Trust the Gorton's Fisherman | www.gortons.com [13:10:23] My father might have appreciated the seafood :p [13:12:13] If you were to visit Gloucester, Massachusetts, the town I'm in, you'd be in for a real treat. Gloucester is a historical town, with establishments to help guide you with every step of the way. [13:12:47] Eventually I intend to meander downwards through the US, so perhaps that can be a stop. [13:12:55] I thought it smelled of dead fish just before :P [13:13:14] @Reception123 It is, but there's more to it than just that from the sea. [13:13:29] It can be a town of many faces [13:13:40] And some people are simply born with a nose for it too :p [13:14:03] Oh, and one interesting fact. @Blazikeye once lived in Massachusetts, according to one of his bios he once had up back when he was called "Seewater514" and "DeciduousWater534". [13:14:06] While it was more shellfish than typical fish, I do have a fair amount of exposure anyway. [13:14:16] Massachusetts (that's hard to spell!) is North East US right? [13:14:25] or am I confusing it completely? [13:14:51] Now that I think of it I'd have to go pretty far east to hit it :p [13:14:54] If you were to look up what Massachusetts is, you'd have an idea of what it is. [13:15:03] It's a coastal state, yes. [13:15:19] Yes, it is. [13:15:23] Yeah I just did a quick search and it's around where I thought it was [13:15:23] Northeast is correct. [13:15:52] I guess I didn't realise it was that close to Canada though [13:16:03] I'm even closer to canada :p [13:16:15] 5 hours from Boston to Montreal, not bad [13:16:35] Though us Europeans generally are less used to such long road trips as North Americans, for which I know that distance is basically nothing [13:16:55] Doug also lives in Canada, but he lives in British Columbia, since that's what someone in here once pointed out. I believe @Agent was the one who pointed that out to me. [13:16:58] Yeah, it was a good 2000 mile drive for me to go from west to where I am now. [13:17:00] oh cool, if dmehus doesn't show up soon go knock on his door :P [13:17:06] I used to be in driving distance of Doug >.> [13:17:09] Lmao. [13:17:28] If I go back to Washington anytime soon I'll be sure to take a detour >.> [13:17:31] heh yeah, Doug is actually on the complete opposite side of the continent [13:17:45] @raidarr What does driving distance mean for North Americans? :P [13:17:46] Miraheze-sponsered road trip time! [13:18:09] That I don't have to call it a multi day road trip :p [13:18:14] As I say, us Europeans are less used to long road trips than you guys generally are [13:18:19] so I'm curious what driving distance would mean [13:18:23] I'm sure @Doug will be back around the Christmas holidays, so yes. I do hope he does come back then, and not disappear like he did in September, although busy working seems to be a good excuse though (and not in a bad way). [13:18:30] If I can go, do my thing, and get back in the same day, I personally consider it driving distance. [13:18:38] ah, that's fair then [13:18:51] So a leave in the morning and get back in time for dinner kind of trip [13:19:13] That would depend on how much travel distance you make. [13:19:28] and also how much you stay of course [13:19:34] Of course, going through Montana with a speed limit of 80 would differ from slogging through the congestion of Washington, so driving distance has a fair amount to do with the geography. The east coast may be more familiar to drive through for europeans, while the midwest, well, that's where you really have the gap. [13:20:02] though a trip from MS to Canada would probably not be such a trip since it would take 10 hours total meaning you'd barely have time to see what you're going to see and have to head back if you want to make it in the same day [13:20:08] Yeah, the Midwest is just corn and then Chicago and then more corn :P [13:20:17] oh and potatos in Idaho [13:20:26] @raidarr oh yeah definitely, large European cities are so congested [13:20:43] Paris, London, etc. are nightmares to drive in and quite accident prone too [13:20:56] I tend to avoid proper urban areas for that reason. [13:20:56] though that's why we do have a lot of public transport :P [13:21:17] Some people prefer to leave their cars at the outskirts of these large cities and hop on a cheap train or bus to where they want to go [13:21:19] Back in WA that is precisely what made me exceptionally weary about Seattle, and some of the other cities that were approaching similar issues [13:21:45] since buses even have their own lanes in some places [13:21:53] The U.S. could never [13:21:54] and cities also quite heavily encourage using public transport [13:22:04] so if you're visiting, most people don't use their cars [13:22:20] No doubt those conditions are precisely why Europe's public transit is as far as it is, while the US simply lacks the need in literally most of its geography. [13:22:22] since they'd rather just use the subway than spend 40 mins stuck in a Paris traffic jam [13:22:44] Yeah, that's one thing I think Europeans get surprised with when they go to the US - how large everything is [13:23:00] In Europe you get from Paris to London in about 2 hours with the channel train [13:23:14] Being able to stuff the entirety of Europe and then some into the US's surface area has its merits :p [13:23:50] heh yeah. If all EU citizens moved to North America I'm sure they'd all fit fine :P (with new infrastructure of course!) [13:24:05] the opposite no way, unless there were like 100 storey buildings everywhere :D [13:24:13] I'm sure they'd get on indeed [13:24:46] And vice versa, well, that's how we make a real life Coruscant setting [13:25:25] heh, nice reference! [13:25:47] * Reception123 hasn't visited the US in quite a long time [13:26:35] You're not missing out on much 😆 [13:27:05] that sounds a bit depressing :P [13:27:26] I've never been to the West coast though before, just East [13:27:39] so when I do eventually go back I'll probably choose West [13:27:58] I'll go say hi to Doug :D [13:29:46] Really depends where you go I think [13:30:07] Pick northern Washington and you'll be in the best position to head up though :p [13:30:40] yeah, there's also California but I've heard most people are disappointed after visiting LA [13:30:58] at least recently. Definitely because of the perceptions people have from all the classic movies [13:31:28] It's certainly not glamorous, and there is also a radical difference between the 'hollywood/silicone valley stretch' and pretty much the rest of the state [13:31:59] Yeah, I can imagine [13:32:26] so maybe I won't go there so I can keep my movie-created perceptions of LA intact :P [13:32:56] The less you know it in person or by researching, the better :p [13:33:37] heh [13:34:17] though I guess Europe does have way more toursit-y stuff to do as basically every capital (at least) has many things to visit and do [13:35:02] The history and wide reaching effects certainly helps, at least from a western worldly perspective. [13:35:10] by at least I mean there's so many non-capital cities that have so many tourist attractions [13:35:20] yeah, definitely, most attractions are historical [13:35:42] for many cities the city itself is the attraction [13:35:45] I'd say the US has a fair amount of history, but a lot of it more modern and local + distributed on a much wider area, and for what Europe would be familiar with, mostly on the east coast [13:36:55] It's my experience that the historic buildings and so forth go underappreciated as people have less and less reason to find them. In Europe too I imagine it's easier to not even go out of your way to find the history, while historic locations die overnight in the US simply because a more efficient highway was constructed and it's easier to stay on that stretch. [13:37:29] yeah, you're definitely right [13:37:41] But yeah in Europe in many cities you can see history on your way to work probably [13:38:16] but it's also good for non-European tourists because you can go to so many different countries in very little time [13:38:53] Such is the fate of my local community, where downtown has plenty of aesthetic buildings and yet is almost irrelevant. The tourism appeal is one of the largest things it has left, and straight up the only thing as far as out of state income. If you can find the historic places on your way to work in Europe and in a short time, then where I'm at you won't even see the historic layout unless you live in it or go out of your [13:38:54] way. [13:39:53] Though in my experience most tourists are Europeans visiting other countries, just like probably in the US most are people visiting different states [13:40:18] Heh, that's a shame :( [13:40:54] Most in my experience are attracted by certain offerings or by season; ie, my region is popular to live in during the summer, but people explicitly move south for the winter. But winter with its snow has the advantage of snow-based activities. [13:41:04] Though obviously finding historic buildings on your way is a very limited example, mostly capital cities [13:41:39] Yeah there's some places in Europe like Austria and Switzerland which atttact most tourism in the winter [13:41:42] Just the historic layout is a good reason imo, given many places are very cookie cutter now and yet you can encounter much more stylish areas [13:41:53] But Austria does also have a lot of historical attractions [13:44:25] I'd think there's enough "snowy" states in the US [13:44:26] Yeah it's weird that quite a few Americans like coming all the way here to go skiing [13:51:41] Quality of snow (and accommodations) does play a part [14:19:57] what is snow? [14:22:20] a pain in the ass for driving [14:22:21] :p [15:36:36] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/918164161660338216/unknown.png [15:36:39] Miraheze™ [20:08:32] We lost 2 boosts on the Discord server [20:08:36] so no more banner [20:08:49] Boo [20:14:19] Ah [20:22:40] damn [20:54:22] https://tenor.com/view/viva-pinata-shellybean-youre-receipt-receipts-receipt-gif-23556496 [20:54:23] [url] Viva Pinata Shellybean GIF - Viva Pinata Shellybean Youre Receipt - Discover & Share GIFs | tenor.com [21:02:55] We've reached 1500 people on the Discord server 🥳 [21:04:14] yay [22:43:24] “You’re receipt” hmm the last time I checked, I was a human.
