I thought daffodil was the opposite of narcissism. Or something like that.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

I should program auto spell checker for chatrooms...

RegDwight Ѭſ道

For everyone's sanity, please don't.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

Why?

It would do us good.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

See?

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@GraceNote This is very deep. You are deep like Mana.

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Did you mean: doubleplusungood?

@RegDwight Narcissist is an impolite word for "daffodil."

trg787

i just recalled strange experiments by Roupert Sheldrake

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Hooray! Trg has entered the building. Now I can safely retire.

user19161

@trg787 Who's that?

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:02 PM

@Reg NOOO!!!

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 Yes, we have a translator for Russian now.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@JasperLoy More like someone who keeps asking for translations from Russian.

simchona

@Reg: User is getting snippy now : if they are already citizens, FOB or BOF or whatever is just nonsense, US isn't a pure country of the red. Your ancestors invaded it. People move down from Canda, up from Mexico, Pru, from Europe, etc and bring all messes there. Then what, should they be called non-immigrant

user19161

To my fans, I reached the rep cap a few hours ago. Please wait before you give me any charity votes.

simchona

I'm afraid my ancestors didn't invade.

trg787

11:04 PM

they were depicted in superb Soviet monthly magazine Chemistry andLife

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Jul 8 at 1:57, by trg787

Sorry I can't translate it. This sentence abt what Russians think abt Russia haha

@simchona Why is politics a subject at all?

@JasperLoy Roupert Sheldrake is this guy here:

Jul 28 at 19:26, by trg787

simchona

@RegDwightѬſ道 I don't know.

@Reg: Can you please stop this user from flooding the site with low-qual questions? They've posted many today.

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 I thought that was a photo of trg.

user19161

@simchona Stack?

simchona

@JasperLoy Yes.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:08 PM

@JasperLoy I'm just connecting the dots, you know.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim I can't belive you beat me to Drm's question.. -_-'

user19161

@simchona I see he posted five in the past two hours. Maybe he had too much coffee.

user19161

sips coffee

simchona

The latest comment: Why do you edit it ? I think it makes the context clearer, so I can laugh with my fame.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Just don't panic.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:11 PM

If trg is is Russian translater, then I am Korean translater.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū translator

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Simchona is on teh roll today.

user19161

She's on the ball.

simchona

@RegDwightѬſ道 SU has -16 today on questions.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

I know.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:12 PM

@sim huh. I debated my-self over translater and translator. translater seemed more correct.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Myself

trg787

recommended reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erd%C5%91s

His colleague Alfréd Rényi said, "a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems", and Erdős drank copious quantities. (This quotation is often attributed incorrectly to Erdős himself. The German original[citation needed] of the sentence is a wordplay on the double meaning of "Satz": "theorem" or "residue of coffee", lost in the English translation)[11] After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month.[12] Erdős won the bet, but complained that during his abstinen…

user19161

@sim I just downvoted and closed his five questions where applicable.

simchona

He clearly doesn't know how to use the site, and several of his comments were deleted

user19161

@simchona I keep confusing him with Pacerier too.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:16 PM

Heh. Végre nem butulok tovább.

trg787

@simchona i'm a most clever guy

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Um. @aedia, I'm not quite sure that's a dupe.

trg787

but now i'm in dire straits

simchona

@trg787 Why are you pinging me?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

If anything, it's a dupe of this one:

11

Q: "Only those who qualify will be awarded a certificate" or "Only those who qualify will be awarded certificates"?

In my life, I always confused with choosing plural or singular form to represent one-one correspondence notion. Only those who qualify will be awarded a certificate. or Only those who qualify will be awarded certificates. ? Another example, let us consider the following: "Each stud...

user19161

11:19 PM

There, there, easy.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

That's quite beautiful, actually. Poetic, even. "In my life, I always confused with choosing plural or singular form to represent one-one correspondence notion."

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 xport (she) changes her profile almost daily. I always take a look to see what she writes there.

user19161

There was once she went to cook dinner and she announced it there "I'm off to cook dinner".

user19161

She actually had a blog too featuring useful LaTeX stuff, but she took it down in a week, don't know why.

user19161

Maybe because she thought the blog was not good enough.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:25 PM

@sim you gotta know to survive in this situation. You just can't expect everything to be your way. even if you want to, you just can't. there is going to be atleast ffew wild cards.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Ok. What are you talking about.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim you getting angry about stack.

Stack is an idiot, I know.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Stack is a consistently bad user who has been suspended before.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim I have perfect saying in Korean that describes stack on this site perfectly.. But I will have to be satisfied with a "Thorn in the neck."

user19161

Announcement: I noticed Rhodri's rep dropped by 1000. Maybe due to deletions and rep recalc.

user19161

11:28 PM

Oh dear, I hope he just deletes account instead of posts if he still feels upset.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū In English: pain in my a$$

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@JasperLoy He got suspended, and the suspension just ended, which triggered an automatic rep recalc.

user19161

@simchona I think it is OK not to bowdlerise it here.

simchona

@trg787 I know the American one...

@trg787 What's the German one?

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 Ya I noticed, the affair is quite a dramatic one, second only to, uh, mine.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:30 PM

Not that again.

user19161

Let's not go into this again @trg.

simchona

@trg787 Are you telling me that as a woman I need to be in the kitchen with my children again?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@trg787 Also, none of those is a German word.

user19161

takes shelter from ensuing disaster

Grace Note

Oh, no, not this again.

user19161

11:33 PM

I sense many diamonds.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Nah, only badp. Noöne is afraid of badp.

simchona

He's suspended for 1hr, 30min.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim you don't have childeren.

@sim trg is suspended?

Grace Note

Yes

(Also, children)

badp

3 messages removed = 3 × 30 minutes = 90 minutes

Mana ಠдಠ

11:34 PM

Man. I don't get what's going on at all anymore.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū No, this is an old argument. He tells me that as a woman, I should play a certain role. He's misogynistic.

Mana ಠдಠ

Oh.

Now I get what's going on.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Now where's that rescue kitteh.

Grace Note

And persistently so, too, since I thought it was already established that we won't tolerate that.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Apr 1 at 12:20, by Robusto

simchona

11:35 PM

@GraceNote At least this time I wasn't alone in the room when he did it.

user19161

@badp Not always true. There was once Jez had 10 removed and the room was timeout for 2 min I think.

Grace Note

True that

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

Maybe I am half misogynistic too. Although I don't show it.

badp

@JasperLoy Moderators can fiddle with suspension timers manually more or less.

Grace Note

@JasperLoy Not all removals are flags.

We could, for example, just waltz and delete stuff harmlessly, if there's no need to bother with flagging.

user19161

11:36 PM

@simchona It's OK as long as it is a chat room and not a bedroom.

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū You can believe what you want, just don't say that i need to follow it

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim of course.

I only mess with girls if it is nessasry.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

I believe that "I" must be capitalized! ducks

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū necessary

badp

@RegDwightѬſ道 I believe you do not need a dieresis in "noone"!

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:38 PM

@Reg I believe Me must be capitalized!

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū believe

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Jasper a second late :).

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@badp You're not in on the joke, I see. Search the transcript if you can be arsed.

simchona

@RegDwightѬſ道 I must be in shock.

badp

@RegDwightѬſ道 I reject your joke and replace with my own.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:39 PM

That's a very Uncommon Kingfisher I see right there...

Hi @KevinY

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 I believe we need to capitalise all of bog's and jsb's messages too.

Kevin Y

@RegDwightѬſ道 Hi.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

What is this? 8 people in chat room? This must be our field day!

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū It is uncommon at this time.

badp

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū For all the wrong reasons.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:40 PM

Right! I should be sleeping.

badp

Yeah, 0140.

Mana ಠдಠ

It's our awkward stuffy "sometimes I wish I wasn't in this chatroom" field day.

badp

Nite.

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 Night!

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Reg no you may not.

Aw man...

user19161

11:40 PM

@badp I believe the spelling is wrong.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū I may, I march, I august, and I will.

badp

ta-bum dsssssssh

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

To be Augustus, or to be Caesar. This is dilemma.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@badp Geez. How do you do that? The very second you wrote that, we got lightning and thunder outside.

Impressive.

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū To be Chaosgamer or to be Sonic, that is the dilemma.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:43 PM

Ok, I am pissed. To make sure that I won't get bombarded with corrections, I must check every word I write at google! I want to create an auto spell checker!

badp

@RegDwightѬſ道 My secret is, noöne is afraid of me. :P

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

And don't you dare correct me this time.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū I might be repeating myself, but please don't.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Reg why not? please tell why!

simchona

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Create, Google

user19161

11:44 PM

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Maybe there is something wrong with your keyboard.

badp

runs fast

Mana ಠдಠ

@ChaosGamerel Doesn't your browser have a spell checker?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Sorry, I was too busy correcting your last message. :P

Mana ಠдಠ

hi-fives badp

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim you did hear what I said, right?

simchona

11:44 PM

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Oh, I'm sorry. Should I go back to the kitchen now?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim...yes.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Also, BH.

Sigh.

user19161

The most mispronounced letter is H.

Grace Note

...ui

badp

11:45 PM

@simchona Tell me why I shouldn't be giving you 30 minutes for that

user19161

@badp She is just making mashed potatoes.

badp

If you don't want people to tell you to "shut the fuck up and make me a sammich", do not keep reminding people about shutting the fuck up and making sammiches.

simchona

@badp I've already been the object of misogynistic comments multiple times in this chat room. Do what you feel is right, but some questions also weren't meant to be answered.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Waiwai, this might be good time to do timeout. We are packing heat now.

badp

@simchona I'm just saying, asking a question and flagging its non-serious reply as offensive is what I'd consider abusive behaviour.

user19161

11:47 PM

No need for timeout. Kit Kats all around.

badp

Obviously I can't be sure it was your flagging, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Jasper Kit Kat is not my style...

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Kimchi then.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

toblerone rules.

simchona

@badp Whether he was serious or not, his answer was offensive.

user19161

11:48 PM

I hereby announce the new 3K for this room: Kit Kat Kimchi.

Grace Note

@simchona I don't support misogyny, but instigating the issue (and this won't be the first time) isn't really doing yourself any favors.

badp

@simchona I beg to differ. At any rate, please stop creating situations where you would find yourself offended.

3

simchona

@badp Everyone can take offense to things differently. I took offense.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

Ok, we definity need a time out before sim explodes. Everybody, calm down.

badp

Flag reviewing takes a lot of eyeballs, and abuse of that system will have consequences.

user19161

11:50 PM

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū definitely

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū I like that too.

simchona

@badp Fine. I'm out, then. EL&U was nice while it lasted.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim girl, you aint goin' anywhere.

badp

@simchona Yeah, feel free to throw it on me.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@badp last thing we need is troll fight.

badp

11:52 PM

I'm not trolling; I'm simply annoyed by abuse of the flagging system.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@badp isn;t that upto the Mods?

simchona

@badp I'm not trying to abuse it, but if you feel that way then clearly I should go.

badp

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū I'm a mod on chat.stackexchange.com

user19161

@badp All 10k users system-wide right?

badp

@simchona If I wanted you gone I would have used the suspension button, would I have not? ♪

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:54 PM

@badp Mod or not, I would not advise getting sim mad.

user19161

This is the most dramatic room on the planet.

simchona

@badp If you're the chat mod, do you have the ability to start a private room so that I can talk to you?

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@sim anybody who has 300 rep can creat chatroom.

Or is it lower? I don't know..

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Not private rooms, though.

user19161

Only reg has auto sudo powers here.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:55 PM

Nah, I'm merely the owner.

user19161

The rest have sudo powers, but not auto, remember?

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

Kamehameha!!!!!!!!!!!

user19161

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū I ain't familiar with this exclamation.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Jas nvm.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@JasperLoy Knowing @ChaosGamer, he simply misspelled "hooray". :PPP

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

11:58 PM

Its DBZ attack, ok?

I have not misspelled it.

user19161

@RegDwightѬſ道 Bedtime for you.

drɱ65 δ

I'm going on 7777 and I love it!

user19161

I know Mana likes to say wheee.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@ChaosGamerΕΛΥēelū Meh. My Ccccccombo Breaker > your DBZ attack.

@drɱ65δ how very unsatanic of you.

ChaosGamer ΕΛ-Υ ēel-ū

@Reg well then... CHAOS BLAST!!!!!!!!

RegDwight Ѭſ道

11:59 PM

@JasperLoy Yes, yes, I know. Next time I should go before stuff hits rotating objects.
