Hi
 
!!mustache KitFox
 
-_-
wanna hear a riddle?
 
3:08 PM
@skullpatrol Except for one guy at the end who will have one eye. nobody would be left to find it.
 
Hello.
What fun things are you doing today?
 
@Mitch true
 
I'm staying inside because of the horrible weather.
 
@skullpatrol sure.
I'm at a 24-hour hackathon.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 What is named for the color on the inside, not the color on the outside?
 
3:09 PM
Wow.
 
@tchrist Great, thanks!
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 as in cloud?
 
@skullpatrol yes.
 
@skullpatrol Sky blue?
 
3:12 PM
What's the temperature in France?
 
!!weather paris
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 every cloud has a silver lining...interesting but not as concrete the answer
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Paris: 30.22C (303.37K), few clouds
 
@Cerberus Bit under 30 where I am probably.
 
Hmm so it's worse here.
Do you have air-conditioning?
 
3:13 PM
@terdon nope
 
34 degrees here.
 
!!weather kansas city
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Kansas City: 72.194F (22.33C, 295.48K), overcast clouds

@Cerberus Amsterdam: 69.926F (21.07C, 294.22K), overcast clouds
 
3:14 PM
Lucky you.
 
Hmm it is not 21 degrees here! WTF?
Oh, right. Even so, it was probably more like 25 in the morning here.
Bot is broken.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 What's your maximum temperature today?
Let it be lower than mine, so that I may continue my complaints.
 
@Cerberus Beauty widgets weather says 84.
 
Oh, I think that's lower, yay!
 
Wunderground says 82.
 
3:16 PM
Funny names.
 
Beautiful Widgets is an Android app.

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 What is named for the color on the inside, not the color on the outside?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Want the answer?
 
@skullpatrol Lay it on me.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 a greenhouse
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 I have heard of it.
It's only 23 degrees in Madrid!
 
3:19 PM
It is 11C in Yekaterinburg
 
@skullpatrol ha!
 
:-)
 
@CopperKettle dang.
 
@Cerberus I awoke to a mere 60. But it will swell up to nearly triple digits over the day’s course.
 
That's over 37!
Poor you.
 
3:21 PM
Official high was 88 yesterday; we expect five more degrees today and five more again over that tomorrow.
> Don‘t worry: it’s a dry heat.
 
But I wish we got lower temperatures at night: my house can protect me against the heat if it gets the chance to cool down at night. Which it did not.
 
Notice how far apart the red line is from the blue line?
 
Luckily, there's scaffolding protecting my house from the worst of the sunlight.
 
And yet for us, that is still very humid here.
 
3:23 PM
Then make space for my complaining!
 
Today I intend to lift mine eyes to the mountains, which cometh hope.
 
Which?
 
And in fact, to go thither.
 
Whence?
 
From Boulder to Nederland.
And perhaps into Indian Peaks Wilderness.
 
3:24 PM
Can you bring your weather with you?
And a couple of A/C units?
 
I think you have a bring/take issue.
 
No, no, I need them urgently.
 
Nederland being so much higher than Boulder will be like 15 degrees cooler.
 
Umm it's lower.
 
lol
 
3:25 PM
You know what neder means, right?
 
And in IPW, it will be 15 degrees cooler still, or even more at the 12 kilofoot pass.
@Cerberus Chthonic.
 
Well, just lower.
As in beneath.
Beneden.
 
Sorry, Nederland is over 8 kf.
 
how much below sea level?
 
Depends on the area.
 
3:26 PM
you
 
I don't know. I live on a dike.
 
The Town of Nederland is a Statutory Town located near Barker Meadow Reservoir in the mountains of southwest Boulder County, Colorado,
 
Or at least it served as a dike in the Middle Ages. It still called "dike" and it is higher than the surrounding streets.
@tchrist Someone vandalised your Wiki!!
 
@Cerberus That’s hardly self-sufficient.
@Cerberus Mine, or Ned’s?
 
3:27 PM
Who needs self-sufficiency?
She has kept my house high and dry for ages!
 
> Name origin: In 1873 the Caribou Mine, at an elevation of roughly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) and 6 miles (10 km) northwest of the town, was sold to the Nederland Mining Company from the Netherlands.
@Cerberus You need to watch where you put your fingers. She won’t appreciate it.
 
@Cerberus the same people who believe axioms are self-evident
 
Fingers?
 
dike
 
@skullpatrol Ah, those people. spits
 
3:30 PM
Dutchboys are known for sticking their fingers in dikes.
 
Oh, not that stupid story again!
 
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
 
It's not Dutch!
 
I was wondering how long it would take for the inevitable dyke jokes.
 
I said dike not dyke.
 
3:30 PM
I know what you said.

A levee, levée (; ), dike (or dyke), embankment, floodbank or stopbank is an elongated naturally occurring ridge or artificially constructed fill or wall, which regulates water levels. It is usually earthen and often parallel to the course of a river in its floodplain or along low-lying coastlines. Etymology Levee The word levee, from the French word levée (from the feminine past participle of the French verb lever, "to raise"), is used in American English (notably in the Midwest and Deep South). It originated in New Orleans a few years after the city's founding in 1718 and was later a...
 
@Cerberus That and wooden shoes and quixotic targets is all we know of youse.
 
There's a street in York called "Green Dyke Lane". It was, of course, known among some of us as "Environmentalist Lesbian Street".
 
Hehe.
That sounds better, very PC.

Clogs are a type of footwear made in part or completely from wood. Clogs are used worldwide and although the form may vary by culture, within a culture the form often remained unchanged for centuries. Traditional clogs were often worn in heavy labor. Today they remain in use as protective clothing in agriculture and in some factories and mines. Although clogs are sometimes negatively associated with cheap and folkloric footwear of farmers and the working class, some types of clogs are considered as fashion wear today, such as or Japanese geta. Clogs are also used in several different...

Cerberus (; Kerberos ) in Greek and Roman mythology, is a multi-headed (usually three-headed) dog, or "hellhound" with a serpent's tail, a mane of snakes, and a lion's claws. He guards the entrance of the underworld to prevent the dead from escaping and the living from entering. Cerberus is featured in many works of ancient Greek and Roman literature and in works of both ancient and modern art and architecture, although the depiction of Cerberus differs across various renditions. The most notable difference is the number of his heads: Most sources describe or depict three heads; othe...

Cornbread is a generic name for any number of quick breads containing cornmeal. They are usually leavened by baking powder. History Native Americans were using ground corn (maize) for food thousands of years before European explorers arrived in the New World. European settlers, especially those who resided in the southern English colonies, learned the original recipes and processes for corn dishes from the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek, and soon they devised recipes for using cornmeal in breads similar to those made of grains available in Europe. Cornbread has been called...
Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol which works on the basis of 'tickets' to allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner. Its designers aimed it primarily at a client–server model and it provides mutual authentication—both the user and the server verify each other's identity. Kerberos protocol messages are protected against eavesdropping and replay attacks. Kerberos builds on symmetric key cryptography and requires a trusted third party, and optionally may use public-key cryptography during certain pha...
 
Anyway, being at 8kf, Nederland is far, far below the Caribou Mine at 10 kf or the 4th-of-July Mine at almost 12 kf.
Whither I this day shall ascend.
 
3:35 PM
I about Nederland hate talking.
 
For your pleasure @Cerberus.

So ugly! So big!
 
In the last book of his Solar Cycle, Gene Wolfe these colonists descended from Dutch immigrants has who always this way talk.
Hm, that might have been a tad too teutonic there.
 
The first one is wrong.
In any language.
> In the last book of his Solar Cycle, has Gene Wolfe these colonists...
That would be correct.
 
@Cerberus That sounds nearly just right in English.
 
3:39 PM
In the cupboard were two plates and a pan.
 
Down the road came Gene Wolfe his wares a-peddlin’.
 
I bet silly people like H&P would call in the cupboard the "subject".
@tchrist Yes, like that. The order is no doubt Proto-Germanic.
 
It’s fine in English.
 
Of course.
But not in your original example.

Mildly funny.
 
One of them is an amputee?
 
@Cerberus augh! you gave it away!
 
Oops.
You need to look at boobs more.
> Foreign Office minister Mark Simmonds said a ''fuller inspection'' from BIOT immigration officials has revealed ''previously wet paper records have been dried out''.

This variation of "Oh, you mean *these* records?" has prompted further disbelief and, presumably, an above-average amount of cynicism.

I was supposed to be practising my guitar chords before lessons tmr.... And I hadn't even tune it and it's alr 12:30 am
 
Tuning is for people squashed under a cultural hegemony of decadent Western European mathematical equal temperament. Squashed. Embrace your quarter tones, your jazz, your subcontinental scales. puts fingers in ears
 
Zoe
But the guitar chords wouldn't sound nice without tuning!
 
@Mitch No, that was unrelated.
 
 
1 hour later…
5:45 PM
This chat is dead.
 
Grüß dich.
 
Here comes Alex.
 
With no attribution or permission.
 
Abhörwütig, does that mean "eavesdrop-crazy"?
 
5:47 PM
Yeah.
 
OK thanks.
@RegDwigнt That's annoying.
 
Can't get enough of dropping eaves.
 
Perhaps they thought it was made by Lego?
 
@Cerberus so you are saying they asked Lego?
They are using it to campaign against Lego.
 
Oh, right.
Hadn't read it yet.
 
5:49 PM
Also, they obviously used my instructions to recreate it. Which clearly state my name.
 
Perhaps they thought it was made by Lego and didn't care about asking Lego?
 
@RegDwigнt how rude
 
Perhaps they thought you worked for Lego?
It would have been nice if they had included a link!
 
@Cerberus I am still missing the "asking for permission and providing attribution" part.
 
Well, a link would be attribution, so no plagiarism.
 
5:51 PM
@Cerberus I now left a comment on that page, with a link to my project. But I think the ship has long sailed. The post is from July 1st.
 
Right. Maybe they will still include a link? It takes only 1 second.
 
@Cerberus they did include a link. To this:
 
What attribution? The walrus?
 
Oh, wait, they say "all rights reserved: Greenpeace". That really sucks.
@JasperLoy Yes.
 
5:53 PM
But how do you know they stole the walrus? Maybe they made an identical one?
 
Please go make an identical one.
You even have a full 13 months, which is how long it took them.
 
I guess that is very hard.
 
It's only 42 parts.
But I'm not saying which parts.
 
Reg can now sue for 1 million euros.
 
Last I heard Greenpeace was bankrupt because they spent the money on gambling with stocks.
 
5:55 PM
Heh yes.
It's not that hard to say, "hey, we took the design from this website by this author, thanks!".
 
Which is the website? Is it a secret?
 
@JasperLoy it's the official LEGO web site. It is not exactly secret, no.
 
@RegDwigнt AH, so you work for LEGO?
 
@Cerberus It's got 202 Facebook shares and 31 retweets. Had all those people supported my project, I'd be richer than Greenpeace now.
@JasperLoy how long do we know each other? Have you read my profile? :P
 
reads again
 
5:59 PM
@RegDwigнt Oh, yeah? How does that work?
