8C now! Help!

@VincentVerheyen Probably, with a bit of investment, you can make a toaster boil eggs. LaTeX is for typesetting stuff, i wouldn't use it for other things.

@VincentVerheyen Perhaps, but I wouldn't do it; as @Johannes_B says it's just not an appropriate tool for the job. Of course, if you disregard projections you could make a contour plot with e.g. pgfplots, but that's of limited use. Probably the most powerful map-generating package is pst-geo (there are a couple of examples on the site, find them through search), but I don't know if that can do what you ask.

Good maen

@PauloCereda El niño or la niña perhaps?

@ChristianHupfer Morning.

Any new template questioins of interest? Maybe one of those using this dreaded MastersDoctoralThesis thingie?

@Johannes_B Erm..... no, thanks ;-)

Last seen october, where did he went? tex.stackexchange.com/users/19356/kiss-my-armpit

@Johannes_B users come and go -- that user was at least not a careless one, from which we have too much of them, who just grabb just the answer and never come back, never give feedback

@ChristianHupfer He has recently replied to a mailing list, if i am not mistaken.

@Johannes_B she, quite certainly

@yo' Then i am mistaking the user for somebody else.

@yo' I also remember that that user is a woman

@Johannes_B maybe for xport?

@yo' xport is also a woman though (right?).

@TorbjørnT. no idea chais pas

@yo' My browser doesn't want to show me the little user pictures. Was that the chicken one?

@TorbjørnT. @yo' last seen more than four years ago

@Johannes_B indeed

@yo' My French isn't that good (pretty much non-existent, in fact), what does that mean?

@Johannes_B Yes.

@yo' Ah. That was before my time, tough.

@TorbjørnT. dunno

@yo' Did you mention chickens?

@ChristianHupfer At the time, i hadn't answered a single support question.

@egreg hens, yeah

@egreg Quack!

@Johannes_B At that time I was not even a member of TeX.SX (and did not know that it exists ;-))

@ChristianHupfer Same here :-)

anyway, time to go to work

@ChristianHupfer By the way, you have a fb message.

@Johannes_B Oh, I am not very often in FB recently. I considered to delete my account, eventually

@ChristianHupfer Me neither. But that picture ...

How do you politely refuse invitation for lunch in the sense of "no paying for it", but still go for the lunch with that person and pay it yourself?

@yo' "No, this time it's my turn to pay (for all)" -- that's very polite ;-)

@ChristianHupfer yeah, I know, but that's something I better avoid :) thanks anyway. I'll have to think something out in the underground

@yo' I don't see a problem in being invited this time and next time, it's really your turn then -- most likely, both have paid equal amounts then.

@DavidCarlisle did the 2007 version of article.cls also have 1.4h? tex.stackexchange.com/q/307599/37907

 %</driver>
-              [2007/10/19 v1.4h
+              [2014/09/29 v1.4h

@Johannes_B looks like it (there were no code changes just some doc typos reported by Karl, looks like Frank decided to leave the version number)

@DavidCarlisle Oh, ok. I was wondering.

Thanks

@egreg :-) vvvv

Certainly got me interested.

@Johannes_B I am scared by your interest in that ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Strange questions on the network. Very strange.

@DavidCarlisle For once I agree with you

@DavidCarlisle The train was arriving when I posted my answer; give me time! ;-)

I gotta go, fix as you see fit. I am in a special mood as you might read between the lines.

@StefanKottwitz You know my lovve for templates ;-)

@yo' -- you might say "i'd really like to have lunch with you, but i would like to pay for mine. thank you for the invitation."

@PauloCereda -- oh, dear! it's not even really winter yet. has it ever been known to snow where you live? (i recommend silk turtlenecks for an under-layer. less scratchy than long woolies.)

@barbarabeeton Today I woke up with a freezing 4C! Now I am in São Paulo and the temperature is around 12C. :) Being exposed to this level of freezing makes me wonder if I really want to see how snow looks like... :)

@PauloCereda The mountains around here have snow.

@PauloCereda Frozen Duck is scared of Snow ;-)

@PauloCereda Ducks are not scared of snow!

@UlrikeFischer Wow, they really like snow! :) There's one prepared for skiing. :)

@egreg Oh, when I visit you, I promise to be prepared for snowy places. :)

@PauloCereda Don't expect snow in the summer…

@egreg, @Christian, @Ulrike: when in my first international trip to Europe, before leaving São Paulo (and Brazil), I checked the current weather forecast in Madrid and Barcelona and the temperature was mildly warm. Later, there was I walking in Barcelona with a huge coat while the thermometers marked close to 30C; I didn't take the thermal sensation into account! The wind was freezing, but the sun was very, very bright!

@DavidCarlisle brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

@David: when you visit me, I will take you to the beach. :)

@PauloCereda Like this? VVVVVV

@PauloCereda Totò and Peppino de Filippo, when arriving at Milan from their home town in southern Italy: “a Milano fa freddo e c'è la nebbia”.

And Peppino is saying “io sento caldo”.

@egreg We fear that one also no longer can expect snow in the winter. Skiing is getting difficult. Btw: we plan to go to emilia romagna in september.

@UlrikeFischer No snow, then. ;-)

@egreg That's fine for a summer holiday ;-)

@egreg ooooh :)

@UlrikeFischer hopefully, there will be ducks in ponds. :)

@cfr I am quite sure @esdd will see the question. :-)

@egreg xport?

@JosephWright Who else? 😀

@PauloCereda Got new headphones for my piano and they are ... awesome :)

@yo' What model did you get? :)

@phell Yamaha HPH-150

@yo' Looks good. Are they comfortable for the ears?

@phell so far so good :)

/me offers the chat home baked blueberry muffins

@phell oh blueberries!

@yo' I ate three already. Not sure if I should eat more. :P

@phell I haven't got dinner yet :p

@yo' What will you have for dinner? I had aubergine (egg plant) with cheese and ham in the oven. Layered a bit like lasagna. Seasoned with oregano.

@phell I'll have some leftovers: chicken pieces with ginger and stuff, veggies, and rice + fries as side dish

@ Sounds good to me. My wife just spoiled me with vanilla ice-cream. :P

@phell oh ice cream! Reminds me of: I'm running out of ice cream :)

ok, fries are spoiled, so no fries today :D

@yo' I saw a video on Youtube discussing reheating of food. Especially rice is important to heat thoroughly. They recommended heating, stirring and then heating again.

@phell my microwave takes care of this

@phell Origano. ;-)

@phell it is spelled with e in my language at least :p but actually, it's better called dobromysl

@phell I may know just a little TeX, as @DavidCarlisle will happily confirm, but at least I know Italian. :)

@egreg Hee hee hee.

@yo' 'e' in English too

@phell @egreg conosce solo un dialetto locale. Non capisce formale italiana ed usati per me.

@DavidCarlisle Yes, I can't understand what language your sentence was written in. :P

@egreg proves my point:-)

@DavidCarlisle Or that Google knows very little Italian.

@JosephWright Well, the English are wrong. :P Or the Spaniards, that's the same.

@egreg everyone has to have faith in something.

No nos gusta eso de spaniards

Hee hee hee. My wife got upset over the use of "Spaniards".

@phell Mae pob iaith yn gyfartal i mi,

@DavidCarlisle that is a truly beautiful language. :)

Good job @cfr's not here;-)

@phell Yn wir i chi ;) Iaith y nefoedd!

@DavidCarlisle Yn wir i chi :(.

@cfr is that Gaelic or Welsh?

Mae'r iaith yn wirioneddol brydferth.

@cfr Google Translate identifies “Yn wir i chi” as German. ;-)

@PauloCereda My new labels for kitchen storage jars ;-)

Hee hee hee. Beth mae'r hwyaden yn ei ddweud?

Ooh, Google translate has latin too.

@phell Latine loqui possumus.

@egreg In silva negra vivo ;-)

@phell Corpus omne perseverare

@yo' Et semper procrastinare

@yo' Si nocte animam tuam bonum putas omnia.

@egreg you seem not to be literate in classical physics :-)

@egreg TeX multi usus.

@yo' egreg is a master of Physics ;-)

@yo': One of @egreg's famous equations in Physics ;-)

@ChristianHupfer I'll patent it

Home sweet home! :)

@phell Welsh.

@egreg Mae Gŵgl yn wallgof! Tybio beth bydd Gŵgl yn dweud am hynny....

Cold day, ducks are very sensible to weather changes. :)

Jasper! Quack!

@WillHunting Quack quack!

@WillHunting Ducks are very perceptive. :)

Cwac cyn i'r hwyaden!

@PauloCereda ^^

@cfr awwww <3

@WillHunting best is always a little bit .... opinion-based ;-) But perhaps you're right. I don't have the book

@yo' ooh new headphones! :D

@PauloCereda my piano is an even better piano now :)

@yo' Great to hear, pal! <3

@PauloCereda Yes, but you know -- ducks in storage jars... ;-) Do you remember the MP episode about storage jars? ;-)

@ChristianHupfer oh I actually don't. :(

@ChristianHupfer Ducks in storage jars? Someone mentioned foie gras? :)

Yes, they are! And I really hope they weren't. :)

@WillHunting Correct, although it's not the same language from Portugal, it's a variation of it called Brazilian Portuguese.

@WillHunting How nice! :)

@Will: all of them (except perhaps German) are daughters of Latin, so you will be fine. :)

@WillHunting Nevertheless both English an German use a lot of words from Latin origin (and I am German)

@cfr This is scanned as Welsh. :)

@WillHunting Germans are awesome!

<3

@WillHunting Yes, come to the Dark Side ;-)

@WillHunting awwww <3

@PauloCereda <3

@ChristianHupfer Das Darkside! <3

@PauloCereda Das gefrorene Ente :-P

> There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark.

@ChristianHupfer Das böse Ente!

:)

@WillHunting Yep, I was gonna mention that. :) I am very happy with dnf. :)

@WillHunting I don't even remember what I had for lunch today. :) But yum was quite powerful at the time, perhaps now dnf has incorporated by default a couple of goodies yum already had in the past, but with less alias. :)

@WillHunting I met Francesca Tovena in some summer courses and competitions for positions!

@egreg ooh

@PauloCereda It was a small company of people going around Italy for these competitions.

@egreg ah I see. :)

@egreg Diolch byth ;).

@egreg What does it mean in German, anyway?

@WillHunting The night is yet young ....

@cfr It's recognized as Welsh, but the translation into English is “thanks butt”. :-O

@cfr translate.google.it/#cy/en/Diolch%20byt

@egreg that's naughty!

@egreg For me, it claims 'diolch byth' is Spanish but translates it correctly. It also claims 'yn wir i chi' is Spanish and translates it into English as 'we Yn i chi' ??!!

@cfr Complain fiercely!

@cfr nid yw Google yn gwybod Cymraeg

@egreg I can't imagine how it would come up with that. Even if it doesn't know the phrase and is using a literal translation, it shouldn't come up with that. It means 'thank goodness' (which is the translation I get when it claims it is Spanish). A literal translation would be something like 'thank ever'.

@egreg There's an improved version. My uni tells people to use that to translate emails they receive in Welsh if they are English-speakers. But it is a collaboration between the Welsh Language Board and MS, so you can only access it by using Office 365 email or something.

(Which appears to throw significant parts of my email away without trace. Repeatedly. A colleague received all his past email all over again. It is a great system - you can see why they chose it! Absolutely not compliant with any open standards, as well. What more could you ask?)

@egreg They do tell people on no account to use the allegedly improved system to reply, mind you.

@egreg I think you're missing a treiglad. That is a very formal sentence.
