2:00 PM

Ah, well, I know how that's like. My license is a pretty old picture, too.

since i just moved states, my license picture is brand-spanking-new

I like my passport photo. I look very German.

user19161

Anyway I went out, thought about some things and have decided never to put cryptic messages here anymore. So no more cryptic messages or explicit ones from me either.

user19161

@KitΘδς Many Germans are blond.

user19161

@GraceNote Do you need to change it?

user19161

2:02 PM

@JSBᾶngs new word there.

Mine always have the wrong length hair. And the wrong address, because here they give you a little paper card when you move, and your actual license doesn't get reissued for years. Irritating when people want your license and don't want to copy down the info off the paper card.

@JasperLoy Indeed. Aryan even.

@JasperLoy Eventually, yes, since they're only good for 5 years at a time.

@aediaλ Really? Ours are reissued within a week of requesting it.

user19161

How is the hurricane situation? It seems that it is not really serious.

2:06 PM

stupid meetings! I've missed two pics of Kit now

@MattEllenД Just one.

user19161

@MattEllenД Boo!!!

@KitΘδς Oh, well. I'm less frustrated

@JasperLoy eeep!

runs away

user19161

@MattEllenД Why eeep? Seems that sb else also used eeep before when I said boo.

@MattEllenД kiss kiss kiss Come on, Matt, come out of the sack. It's OK.

user19161

2:07 PM

@KitΘδς He never went into the sack.

@JasperLoy So you didn't jump out and say "Boo!" to frighten me?

@JasperLoy Then what's that in the sack?

@KitΘδς pokes head out, looks around

user19161

@MattEllenД I did, but I am just wondering whether eep is a standard exclamation.

hmmm, ok

2:08 PM

@KitΘδς Yep, you don't get a new real license in MD until it expires (~5 years) or you lose it or something. You just have to keep changing your address with them and getting paper cards.

@aediaλ Oh barf.

@JasperLoy yeah, it's onomatopoeia

@JasperLoy Consider the "Wild Eep" error sound on the old Macs.

user19161

I hope they don't make me redo the ID. It seems that 30 is the last time you have to do it, and I like the current photo.

@KitΘδς It really is. It's bad enough that our licenses look fake anyway, like something that failed a 1990s graphic design class, but then handing the piece of paper over to people as well... anyone in other states who doesn't know what it is has looked at me like I have two heads. Or I forget to dig up the paper when it matters and they get my info wrong. Arrgh.

2:12 PM

grrr bites MD licensing process

user19161

Yo @mrshiny!

@JasperLoy aren't you 12 in your photo?

user19161

Mrshiny always looks pixellated when he enters, he's unique in that.

isn't that somewhat confusing for people to check?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy Good morning

user19161

2:14 PM

@MattEllenД The previous one was 12, today I changed it to a more recent photo.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

A quick glance at the transcript shows that I missed all the excitement.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Was there? A quick glance shows that there was nothing exciting, and I even declared that I will never put cryptic messages here anymore.

@JasperLoy oh! well that makes sense

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy What? Impossible!

Cryptic is what you ARE!

Is there a simple way to tell which of the five major browsers I happen to have open is the one I'm looking at on a Mac?

user19161

2:15 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I don't want to confuse people or disturb people. And I will not try to read into other's cryptic messages either.

@KitΘδς the UI?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy Confusing people is fine, that's what this room is for.

@KitΘδς Like, the one that's filling your screen at this particular moment? Look at the top left of the title bar to see what program is active

Firefox, Opera and Safari are pretty distinguishable, I think

@Fx Where? It's not on the top bar AFAIK.

2:16 PM

I'm not sure if it's the title bar but whatever that thing is should always say what program has focus.

O FFS. Macs are so stupid.

@KitΘδς do you mean, “which has focus” or “which window am I looking at”?

focus is indicated by color: dark grey has focus, lighter gray for all other windows

Which has focus will suffice. Other than that, it looks like I'm SOL.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I think I am the only one who may be confused though.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Not confusing people. Incomprehensing people.

2:18 PM

An important distinction

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

So pro-tip for anyone who finds that their Oracle DBA has changed the schema of a table and not recompiled the stored procs: when you use the recomp_serial(schema_name) proc, schema_name must be UPPERCASE.

Good to know.

@KitΘδς You could pin all their icons to the dock, quit them, and then you'll see again which ones are open? I think there may be some other indication in the dock of which program has focus, but if there is, it's subtle.

user19161

However @matt will have the privilege of knowing all my secrets!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς I think you should make your own dictionary. Or maybe foreign phrase book.

2:20 PM

@aediaλ I mean, I want to be able to cycle through each window, and know which ones are which. Apparently on a Mac, you just have to guess until you get there.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

And @Kit I see that you were, in fact, unable to contain yourself this morning :)

They were contained!

@JasperLoy That's what friends are for!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς In a manner of speaking :)

Can't be holpt. It's in my nature.

user19161

2:21 PM

@MattEllenД Aye, I will think about things and email you again another time.

@JasperLoy I look forward to it

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς And don't you EVER change. Unless you want to.

And Matt and aedia are really such an appreciative audience.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 seconded!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς And if you want to change in front of an audience, that's up to you too.

2:22 PM

@KitΘδς Well, you're such a lovely... show? I'm not sure what word should go there

user19161

I am looking forward to Christmas already!

blush Thanks, guys. I really do like being me.

And I really like boobs!

:D

user19161

@KitΘδς I prefer beautiful faces.

user19161

Bieber is beautiful.

2:24 PM

@JasperLoy In the long run yes, I have to want to look at someone if I'm goint to be spending a lot of time with them

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy Yeah but the "no boobs" part is a -1 on my rating scale.

user19161

Perhaps I have lost interest in boobs because I have seen too many beautiful boobs.

@JasperLoy There is no such thing.

a couple of beautiful boobies

user image

But personally I prefer a beautiful mind.

@MattEllenД I love the blue-footed ones!

user19161

2:27 PM

@KitΘδς That I have, though sometimes I wish I have not.

@KitΘδς it's like they've stood in paint :D

user19161

With great power comes great responsibility

rolls eyes

user19161

But I was telling my friend just now how I recently saw the most beautiful face ever. I think it will be very long till I see something else like it.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy What, like, in person?

2:29 PM

@KitΘδς Yay!

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 No, just a photo online, which I cannot share here.

@MattEllenД Awwh, so cute.

@aediaλ they're both doing the same dance!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy Here's the thing about physical beauty. It's a nice thing to have. But there comes a time when you are walking down the street and you see a smoking hot girl. And you're like "wow, she is really really hot". And that's all you can think about. But then you happen to get a little closer and you overhear her talking to her friend. And you realize that she is a child. Not, like, 10, but, like, 10 years younger than you. And you can't believe the crap that is coming out of her mouth.

And that's when you know that you're old, and she's out of your reach, even if you could stand to actually talk to her, which you can't.

Then you realize that beauty is not that important.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 and then you remember the crap that used to come from your mouth, or at least I do .

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

2:32 PM

@MattEllenД I try not to dwell on that part. :)

:D

;D

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

I don't know if I could stand the younger me.

Hm...

I know I would punch my younger self in the face if I had the chance.

Gah! I hate Macs!

2:33 PM

There's a reason you shouldn't use them.

I wouldn't be me if I hadn't done all that stupid stuff though.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I know what you mean. But I am rather young at heart. Maybe I still talk like a 10 year old. I think my mum would think so.

I'd give myself a hug and tell me to stop being such an introverted dick. hmmm...

@aediaλ Tru dat. Also painful to realize.

@GraceNote Hm?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

2:34 PM

@aediaλ Yeah. There's no substitute for experience. But now that I have that experience I can't go back.

Meeting. Gotta go. Later!

cya!

Good luck!

If I ran into the younger me, I'd probably be too busy entertaining the thought of dress-up with all the new-found costuming that I've accumulated in the years post-younger-me.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Still we've had some good times, eh?

2:35 PM

@MattEllenД Aye. Hm.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 By the way, is this long paragraph supposed to have any hidden meaning?

@MrShinyandNew安宇 And what about when you talk to a smoking hot girl and you discover she's also really clever and charming?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy not really. But it is a true story. For many years I considered myself equivalent to a recent college grad. But then I found myself on the subway and these tiny babies were talking about their first-year university classes and I was like whoa

@z7sgѪ Insert cliche note of "It's the inner beauty that matters", perhaps.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 OK I was afraid you knew the details of some of my secrets!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

2:37 PM

@z7sgѪ That can happen. But usually the "clever and charming" part only works if she's my age -ish. Otherwise she's cute like my daughter and not cute like my wife. If that makes any sense.

Cute is good.

always!

unless it hides teh evil

user19161

@GraceNote I find that people with great inner beauty also have much outer beauty.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

And so as I get older, it's inevitable that the women my age become less (stereo-typically) beautiful because they are getting older too. And I find that that doesn't matter.

@JasperLoy The truth is that while we're all different, we're all more similar than you can imagine.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I told myself that 10 years difference is the maximum for me, and I will stick to that number.

user19161

2:40 PM

So 11 is strictly out.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy That is a HUGE difference unless you're over 40.

user19161

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Well, I still talk like a 10 year old. My mum can verify that.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Anyway this conversation is making me feel old.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 It's more likely I suppose, I find immaturity a real turn-off but there are plenty of women 10 years younger than me who aren't at all immature.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 A guy I know (60) started seeing a girl 24 years his junior. They had been beating around the bush for several years though, so no one thought anything of it

2:42 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Your age is old and you should feel old!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote my age is old? Are you being serious?

user19161

@GraceNote I will pretend this does not apply to me.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I can put any age as old, it's a perk of being relatively younger. ♪

While I still have some youth, I have to flaunt it verbally whenever I lack the opportunity to do so visibly.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattEllenД I suppose it's different for everyone, depending on their own maturity. But for many people that big an age difference would be a huge barrier.

@GraceNote Great, now I feel old too.

user19161

2:45 PM

10 is the magic number for me, since I'm 30 and I like sb who is 20.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I think that's why there was so much beating around the bush

@aediaλ Chalk up yet another point to victory ♪

@aediaλ I feel like I can ignore Grace on this issue :D

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattEllenД "beating around the bush", eh? nudge nudge

@GraceNote You have the opportunity to do that too.

2:46 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 in this case, no nudging, but maybe some winking. Certainly no saying no more.

@z7sgѪ Not really. Visual flaunting is expensive.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Wow I'm practically the oldest person in this room. sigh

Also, the coat I really want is, well, a coat, and so this isn't the season to be buying coats.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 An entirely plausible scenario

@GraceNote get it while it's cheaper!

@GraceNote Kit can afford it.

user19161

2:47 PM

With my looks I can still pass of as 20.

out of season is cheaper, yes?

@MattEllenД Out of season means that you can't find it if it's not common enough.

user19161

With my laughter I can even pass of as 10.

I could buy any old coat for cheaper, now. To get the exact one I need, though, that's much more difficult.

@GraceNote I remember that with earmuffs. It was a really cold march and no one was selling them, because it was spring in fashion land

2:49 PM

@MattEllenД That's because March is in the Spring time. ♪

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Holy, except for @Kit, of all the people whose age is revealed on their profiles I AM the oldest here.

@MattEllenД Ohh I hate when that happens. That's how you end up with the super unfashionable college branded headband that doesn't go with anything.

@GraceNote only just! the weather was decidedly not Springy

user19161

Matt is a few months older than me.

@JasperLoy I think I can pass as 25, just about. Especially if I shave

@aediaλ so frustrating!

2:51 PM

@MattEllenД It's still Spring ♪

user19161

@MattEllenД I can actually pass of as 15 if not for the stress I have gone through the past 10 years.

@GraceNote Now I think about it, it was February, even, because it was my birthday.

@MattEllenД February is like, half-Spring.

user19161

Half a spring chicken is sold here.

People were buying Halloween decorations last week, y'know.

2:53 PM

@GraceNote crazy people, Grace, crazy people.

It's like the old saying goes...

"Hey, you start to see all those colorful lights, candy canes, stockings, and the like on sale now" "Yep... looks like it's Thanksgiving."

"colorful lights, candy canes, stockings, and the like" ♪

user19161

There is no Halloween here.

user19161

Only Hello Kitty.

lol

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

2:56 PM

@GraceNote In Canada we have thanksgiving in Oct, before Halloween.

user19161

I look forward to Christmas this year. I am expecting many miracles then.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I don't quite think the proverb changes too much.

because Canada invented the time machine

2

user19161

Last year I missed all the Christmas lights, didn't go out much to take a look.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote it does. because the stores don't sell Christmas things until after Halloween. Actually for us the Christmas stuff goes up literally overnight after Halloween.

2:57 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Huh, I had hoped you guys would be earlier.

Canadia... always ruining my proverbs!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote Our stores can only handle one major holiday at a time.

@GraceNote That's what we're all aboot, eh?

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I like aboot, as it were

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I don't know what the problem is... shops have a "seasonal aisle", gotta find some rubbish to hawk there.

like das boot

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote Ironically I've never heard a Canadian pronounce "about" any differently than any American voice on TV

2:59 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I don't think I have, either.

It's just cute to say it in an exaggerated fashion. Aboot ♪

eh?

user19161

Here there is a whole row of shopping centres where you get Christmas decorations if you walk down the road for one hour.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@z7sgѪ It's not a "seasonal aisle" that I'm talking aboot. I mean, Nov 1, the Halloween decorations are gone from the store, and the walls, ceilings, etc, are festooned with Christmas decorations. And the in-store music has been replaced with a 45 minute loop of Christmas songs. Scientifically calculated to be market-pleasing while only driving the staff 98% of the way to complete insanity.

that is the one thing I dread aboot Christmas. The songs. The earworms! I cannot stand them.

user19161

@MattEllenД There was a user called time machine but he probably changed the user name.

3:03 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Emigrate to a sane country?

user19161

I'm thinking of a white Christmas

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

@JasperLoy *dreaming

user19161

Santa Claus is coming to town

But fsck, I love boobies I really do love them

3:04 PM

@MattEllenД Headphones. Build them into your earmuffs, even.

And that was a sudden subject redirect

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@z7sgѪ Un-unh. I love Canada. Every time I open the newspaper and read about the news from another country I think "DAMN I'm glad I live here."

user19161

@MattEllenД What boobies are you talking about?

@GraceNote I'm trying to replace the christmas songs with Tim Minchin

@GraceNote This idea has merit.

@MattEllenД I could give you a 10-hour loop of "What Is Love", if you want to kill that earworm.

user19161

@GraceNote And use of software names.

user19161

3:06 PM

Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

@GraceNote No. Please. For the love of all that is atheist. Not that.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattEllenД We can have both: youtu.be/4bEGLbCNRqw and youtu.be/fCNvZqpa-7Q

@MattEllenД So you don't want this.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Yay!

@GraceNote I really don't. :p I used to live with a guy who had it on repeat. Never again.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote I'm going to see how long I can leave that on.

3:08 PM

@MattEllenД Back when I had to deal with it, the best we could muster was a 90-minute loop (on account of predating the whole "director account" deal)

But we had enough Sakuranbo and Egg Song and about eighty other obnoxious repeats we regularly subjected each other to.

@GraceNote 4 minutes is too long

user19161

I held a 3 hour concert with a pianist when I was 16.

Impressively nice

@GraceNote I believe he had an em pee three, so there was no stopping it.

@MattEllenД Oh, I've got the 90-minute MP3 if you want that.

3:10 PM

@GraceNote I'm not sure I've made myself clear. No, thank you, I do not want to hear this song.

@MattEllenД Would you listen in a house? Would you listen with a mouse?

:D

I would not listen to it in my home, or when out upon the loam

But how about while on a boat? Would you care whilst with a goat?

I will not hear it in my sleep or diving in the briny deep

Not on a boat, or with a goat, or beside a stoat or in my coat!

Perhaps while you're on the train? Maybe also flying a plane?

3:13 PM

Abed! Abed! Abed! Abed! Would you, could you whilst abed?

user19161

@KitΘδς Are you going to bed?

Or in the bathroom getting —

Never mind.

@KitΘδς especially not then

user19161

@KitΘδς A shower.

Stop this travesty of Dr. Seuss!

3:14 PM

I reckon you'll like it in a cave. Maybe then you will be brave.

user19161

@Robusto Congrats on 50k!

@GraceNote Not in a cave, nor with a bear. I will not listen anywhere!

@JasperLoy — It's just a ruse.

@MattEllenД *nor

@MattEllenД You know, I don't think it would bother me then.

Since Rhodri's account got deleted I lost 300 rep, but it hasn't been recalculated yet.

3:16 PM

@KitΘδς Perhaps not. It depends if the player was out of reach

@Robusto You could change that

Oh, hey, my English account is down to 196.

@GraceNote — Why would I? TPTB precipitated the issue, let them run their little script. By the time they do I should be back over 50K anyway.

Gah! Whosoever still uses 800x600 really needs some serious schooling with my riding crop.

@Robusto We generally don't run anything automatically.

@KitΘδς is this encouragement to switch to a smaller screen?

3:18 PM

Automatic recalc only occurs under circumstance of voter fraud. It's otherwise all manual.

@MattEllenД No no no!

:D

@GraceNote — Well, then I am content for everyone to live in a fool's paradise. It's nice being the only one who knows the real score.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattEllenД You beat me to it.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Apparently Kit might beat us too

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

3:20 PM

@MattEllenД I'm resizing my window right now

Stop! Stop using 800x600 everybody! I don't want to have to test this screen res ever again!

@KitΘδς — 800x600 is so, like, 1995. Seriously. Just drop support for people who are still living in that year.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς mmm svga goodness

@KitΘδς You know that phones and tablets are bringing small screens back, right?

@Robusto too damn right

@KitΘδς get a better job innit ;)

3:23 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Gah! You are so cruel!

@Robusto Works for me.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 gah! why do you make such good points to stymie my vitriol

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς but honestly, are you being forced to support that size for a desktop-oriented site? cuz, wtf

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Yes. Because I don't know why.

Probably rural state = old equipment.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattEllenД wow. Even facebook doesn't support it.

3:25 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 — But that's why you make a mobile version of the site. By definition, it doesn't get to have all the bells and whistles the client wants to throw in there.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I'm fairly sure my personal site does

Is there a good tool for testing multiple versions of the five major browsers?

inso far as, it's mostly just text

the header image might be a bit too big

@MattEllenД Every guy says that.

@KitΘδς freshman sweat farms?

3:26 PM

@KitΘδς There is one I used to know back in school

@MattEllenД sags sadly

@KitΘδς don't be sad - I'm sure there is one. I just don't know it

I'm thinking that version support will just have to be user tested.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Robusto well, yeah, sorta. That's the best strategy that makes sense.

@KitΘδς browsercam or browsershots or something.

So @GraceNote I've been listening to that song for 20 mins now and I haven't noticed any adverse effects cluck cluck AHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@KitΘδς But @Kit, are you seriously being asked to test 800x600 AND a whole slew of browsers? The installed base of the non-IE browsers is low for old versions. Just test IE6 if it still matters, at 800x600, then test the other IEs at full size

@MrShinyandNew安宇 You got a while to go now ♪

3:30 PM

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I love it when you tell me what I want to hear.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote I think I what can is take it love? for a little baby don't while hurt me longer.

No. REFUSE to use IE6. Microsoft doesn't support it anymore, and neither should you.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Robusto Refuse if you CAN. But if she can't refuse 800x600.....

@GraceNote So I looked up the lyrics and I think there are a few verses missing on this site, I expected like a 90MB download songlyrics.com/haddaway/what-is-love-lyrics

@MrShinyandNew安宇 That's just the chorus.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

What is love? Baby, don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more

3:42 PM

@MrShiny Come back to the light!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς It's so hypnotizing watching that video where they're just head-banging over and over

Snap out of it!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

F*ck I love..... baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more

Damn it. The only other picture I have is two girls making out.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

If I can stray off topic, anyone here who does web development should start using LESS (lesscss.org)

3:45 PM

@MattEllen I was thinking about that and I got distracted.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Oh, that looks nice. I like variables.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς It is so nice to use it.

The only annoying thing is that it's javascript, so I had to rely on a third-party library to integrate it into my app.

Well, that's not too unusual, is it?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

(basically it run in RhinoJS, a Java Javascript engine).

welcome back @Jasper

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitΘδς It's odd for me to be using javascript libraries in a java server-side app. Usually we're pure-java here.

user19161

3:48 PM

@MattEllenД Boo! Everyone is getting high, or maybe it's just me.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

I wouldn't recommend using less.js in the browser

Haha, I didn't have my headphones on, so when I started switching things out I realized I had that song playing in the background for the last 40 minutes

@JasperLoy I'm not high...

@JasperLoy You're high?

@JasperLoy I'm not getting high

3:49 PM

@GraceNote can anyone else hear your music?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy I'm pretending to get high on this song

I pity them

user19161

I'm not on drugs of any kind, just the usual high I mean.

@MattEllenД I think, in a spiritual sense, Mr. Shiny is hearing it.

user19161

I read the messages and it seems everyone is very excited now.

3:49 PM

Also, I reiterate - headphones.

@Matt Here, try this:

@GraceNote Oh! I misread what you wrote

@KitΘδς when I'm back home. Luckily I've been oblivious to all internet based sounds so far today

@MattEllenД Bummer.

user19161

I just destroyed my old ID. I was laughing at how I might have accidentally destroyed the new one instead and laughed really hard. That's what got me high!!!

puts everyone in sack

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Wait. Not you. You're the one who's hit critical.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@JasperLoy I don't think my headphones will reach into the sack

@KitΘδς can i hide with you? The rest of the people in this room are just children hissssssssssss

@KitΘδς If he runs away from us, then by extension we are safer

@GraceNote Good point!

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Um, sure. Let's hide over here in this big cube made out of dwarf star alloy. You go first; I'll be right behind you .

This chat is degenerating into a kindergarten playground!!!

@JasperLoy Fine. Plague us with your "mysterious" and "clever" comments about your "cryptic" romantic.

user19161

@KitΘδς You can't trick me even though I am high right now. But the next step I take will have to be carefully considered. That's cryptic, isn't it?

My browser crashed! I think it couldn't figure what love is.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 LOL.

@JasperLoy I'm not trying to trick you. I am mocking you.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Guess that means... you'll have to start from the beginning ♪

user19161

@KitΘδς Thwack!!!

@GraceNote I started from 45 mins. I know I reached that far at least.

It's in the transcript, so it must be true.

@GraceNote you are a torturer in your free time?

@MattEllenД No, just an assassin

Ah

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@GraceNote That's why Grace doesn't tell us anything personal.

user19161

@GraceNote This is not cryptic as it is clearly not true.
