Are you ready for a cosmic shift of epic proportions? You’d better be, because such a shift is approaching, courtesy of our moon! This Friday, September 30th, the moon will be new but ‘black.’ During a black moon, the side of Earth’s natural satellite lit by the sun faces away from our planet. As a result, …
Also at Space.com which clarifies that when there are two New Moons in a single calendar month, the second one is called a Black Moon. This is analogous to a "Blue Moon" which is the second Full Moon occurring in a single calendar month.

I live 3 miles from the El Cajon shooting, in the initial footage my fricken dentist was in the background. Kinda weird, watching riots on TV that are a 10 minute bike ride from home.

stay safe...
that bombing at the Elizabeth station in Jersey a few weeks ago was a 5 minute walk from my brother in law's apartment, it's scary when it gets close like that

I love the moderation system here. I was shooting for funny. Couple hours ago I was, offtopic I think but maybe flamebait. Now I'm insightful. It's almost bedtime, interesting to see what I'll be in the morning.
Seriously, I make a joke about the cops shooting at the moon and I'm modified anything but funny? Dafuq?

Closest mod to "funny but sad"?

I got a +3 Troll for one the other day. It seems the last modifier is the one that sticks, so if you get 4 Interesting mods and the last one is Flamebait, you could be +5 Flamebait (or is it +3 Flamebait?)

Before I left slashdot, I used to get +5 flamebait fairly regularly with like a dozen moderations to do it.
I've never cared about moderation, but I thought it was hilarious that people had so little to do with their time that they'd keep modding posts that were sometimes days old.

I don't think that is true. I think it is only the latest one if there is a tie, except for Underrated/Overrated. So if you got an Interesting/Informative/Insightful/Disagree/Flamebait with your +1 karma, you would have +4 Flamebait. Throw in an Overrated, and it's +3 Flamebait. I might be wrong, but I guess I could have it tested on dev.

I'm not concerned. Thought it was quirky, is all.

And in my example, throw in another +1 Insightful and it should be... +4 Insightful.

And I end up insightful, no idea why, when all I really wanted was a funny.
sigh.
