So what happened to Chandru? I noticed his account got suspended and then he came back as Chandru1 and now he's gone again...?

Mike Spivey

@tb Ha, you, Asaf, and I are three of the five close votes on that.

Matt

@anon: The short version is: Iirc he was suspended because he copied passages from text books and presented them as his own.

t.b.

@Matt: He goes under the handle Chandrasekhar now. Not very active these days.

Matt

@t.b.: I see, so he is back : )

Asaf Karagila

I think it was a paper by someone, but the principle's the same.

Another continous -> continuous edit.

Matt

I thought he'd been doing it repeatedly.

Mike Spivey

@Matt He's doing it continously.

Jonas Teuwen

Chandrasekhar was suspended some time ago, no?

Matt

@MikeSpivey: Oh noes, I just noticed I cannot edit your chat messages chuckle

@Jonas: Yes but he got revived.

MSE returns 51 hits for continous.

So I guess I'm the only one who's not working and just sitting in front of my computer....

Asaf Karagila

Nah. I'm also not working.

Mike Spivey

I should be writing a letter of recommendation.

Jonas Teuwen

I'm also not working. I'm being frustrated that I have nothing alcoholic in my home after I've discovered that I've been working a whole day on something I've misread :-).

t.b.

@Srivatsan: Did you see my second link? :D

anon

Count me as number 5 for not working when should be.

@AsafKaragila bridging the time until the whisky-casks are delivered, I presume...

Matt

@Jonas: Thank you. That answers my question about whether others also drink sometimes. I've been thinking about it a lot lately because every time I do it I feel so stupid about it afterwards but then I end up doing it again : (

Srivatsan

@tb Oh right. Did not see, thank you.

Asaf Karagila

@tb Did you and robjohn buy them already?

Jonas Teuwen

Don't drink too much @Matt :-).

Mike Spivey

@Matt: Yes, don't drink and derive.

I once learned a very important saying about alcohol.

t.b.

@Srivatsan No problem, I just wanted to let you know that you wouldn't be the first to tease him about it...

@AsafKaragila Nope, the bill goes to you, we drank them already.

Asaf Karagila

Everyone should know their limits with alcohol, so they would not drink too little.

@tb Jerks.

Matt

I think it's an important question. I mean it's kind of a paradox. If I drink I kind of lose time. But on the other hand I'm enjoying myself during the time I lose.

@MikeSpivey: : D you been drinking?

Srivatsan

@tb I am not teasing him, no. I even joined him in his fight. =) [I edited one post that read "equicontinous".]

You "lose time" no matter what you do. (Except if you travel at the speed of light, according to special relativity.)

@Matt It's partly a reference to a chat conversation yesterday. :)

Matt

But that depends on the definition of the word lose, @anon

t.b.

Sort of odd, reading about "losing time" when hanging out on math.SE, especially chat...
