but it may do reactions, ionizations

How many have you counted so far?

5

It's a start!

Only ~10E120 - 5 to go.

I'm a bit slow, but I'll try to finish the whole room today

We'd appreciate that.

@infinitesimal said the pot to the kettle with the name infinitesimal!

@crl If they could just stand still!

Newton used it @Mitch

But then they'd have (probabilistically) 0 to infinite mass. oops... not infinite, but, bigger than you can count.

@infinitesimal But you said you didn't like the word 'infinite'.

I'm just calling you out on it.

I don't like sloppy use of the word.

Ohhhh...

That's different.

@Mitch I'll lower the temperature :D, 0K

Or perhaps negative kelvin!

@infinitesimal well, they could be referring instead to an infinite continuum (ok that is a problem of pleonasm) or an infinite ordinal.

@crl puts on coat

has trouble because arms are stiff

here's a misuse of a word (exponentially) too:

exponentially can't seem to fit here, it means a tendancy, not a quantity, right?

@crl well, if you quantify quality and you measure change over time, then that would be a meaningful sentence.

Except, you have rightly noted, that is not what is intended.

hmm, ok

exponentially != a lot, but that's what is meant.

I mean that exponentially.

you're exponentially interesting me

ha ha even that doesn't work when translated.

Not logarithmically

Being incoherent is hard. Needs practice.

You sir @mitch are logarithmically exponential :D

that's sigmoidally correct

Good night for all!

Bye

@crl Sigmoidly .. Dr Frankenstein's other assistant.

good night!

@infinitesimal And I feel the same as ever...

Oh btw wolfram did not correct their scientific notation page >8(

@infinitesimal about 0?

Yep

I emailed them

You know it is mostly 'user' modified. They don't have staff deal with it. Just dedicated (= unpaid) special users

Too bad.

No big deal

The answer is clear from context

I never thought about it in high school

can someone explain this sentence to me because I am too lazy to think about it too much

I think both [of those attributes] will stand you in good stead going forward

does it even make sense?

I can see what it means, but I've never seen "stand you in good stead"

It makes no sense.

It might have been some sort of rare or archaic idiom, but the use of the uneducated phrase "going forward" rules out any erudition.

huh.

also, why does javascript never complain if I forget a semicolon at the end of a line

What huh?

it's just weird that this guy used a sentence that doesn't make sense

he said he likes my enthusiasm and dedication at work and they will stand me in good stead going forward.

Haha.

so my reaction to finding out the sentence is hacky was "huh"

So would anybody's reaction.

at least I can assume he thinks I'm doing a good job at work

unless in his mind that sentence means "will fuck you over"

in which case I should show less enthusiasm and dedication to my work

You should say "I cannot say the same thing about you". Whether it is because you don't know what it means, or whether he is doing a bad job at writing, is up to him.

I could never say that to my boss. haha.

especially because I hope he makes me a full time offer after I graduate.

well, actually, this isn't my boss. but it's the COO of the company, so he's important too.

Then perhaps you should kindly offer to copy-edit all company communication.

Or institution.

that. but this was actually a personal text message.

basically your ideas are no good Cerberus

gah. maybe if they offer me a full time job after I graduate I will get a laptop that isn't 6 years old to work on >: [

this laptop is like 28 inches wide, 3 inches thick, has a flippin' numpad on the side of the keyboard, and overheats like every 30 seconds so the fan just goes apeshit

@GeorgePompidou "stand you in good stead" is a common idiom/cliche that sounds fancy but just means this will be good for you.

what have you to say about this @Cerberus

@Cerberus remains silent on the issue... Until he speaks
