i love when we have meetings, and we tell people if they want to talk to type stack in the chat because it must seem like an arbitrary word to new people

Luckily, every time now, the hosts will explain it in 10 seconds and things move on from there. I do remember the first time, I was trying to parse why it was called 'stack' at all but figured it too goofy to ask.

once at a DSA SF meeting, a guest held the mic wrong and everyone started shouting “hot dog” at her (to hold the mic like a hot dog not ice cream cone).
she looked so confused and i lost it laughing. imagine being in a room of people shouting hot dog at you and not knowing why!

Ok I literally have no idea what that even means. How do you hold a mic like a HOT DOG?
Don't make this a metaphor but maybe you guys are doing it wrong?
And yeah, yelling hot dog at a woman trying to speak in an unfamiliar space seems..
I was kind of looking forward to a meeting where everyone gently holds the mic from the underside so as not to smear the mustard, and thinks everybody else is a weirdo...

The mic directional pickup pattern worked better holding the mic like a hot dog, horizontally, rather than an ice cream cone, vertically.
Yes, I do have audio production experience with people who dont know about microphones.
