@Nai45 BANGS DRUUUUMSSSS

Giant Maine Coon cat ATTACKS groomer

►

C.Koca

01:06

@JourneymanGeek He looks so like Charlie, the maine coon we lost last summer

Journeyman Geek

@C.Koca :(

C.Koca

and he was very good tempered, no other cat would sit this quietly with a stranger shaving of his balls

I meant the giant maine coon in the video

@JourneymanGeek all maine coons are alike each other :)

Journeyman Geek

@C.Koca I was watching a video with an extra big ginger...

Coons seem to be more expressive than most cats :D

C.Koca

@JourneymanGeek expressive how? vocally? taily? or scratchy?

Journeyman Geek

Oh, facially

Most cats don't really have much... facial range. :D

C.Koca

01:17

@JourneymanGeek You mean bitey?

Journeyman Geek

Like facial expressions

Cats tend to have the same acting range as Steven Segal

"Stare"

"slightly pinched stare"

"blink"

C.Koca

ahahahha

lila

02:16

@C.Koca Oh maybe you are right but before adding the new "featured" to your new Meta Q&A, I deleted "featured" from other old Q&A; still, the new is not displayed and the old one is still diplayed there.

@Nai45 I had opened too many web browser tabs (I fell down a rabbit hole) and this pushed Litter Box's browser tab out of sight and I did not see that someone posted something, sorry for neglection.

Journeyman Geek

@lila I think those are heavily cached

Nai45

02:38

@lila I do not accept apology. In order to make me accept, please write down "thou shall not neglect Nai45's chat messages" 50 times on one piece of paper. Only then shall I forgive you ;)

Journeyman Geek

03:14

@Nai45 There's a horrible pun I can say about that, but I'm not sure if its specific to indian english ._.

@lila afternoon!

C.Koca

13:13

I thoughr I wrote hey too

Am I getting paranoid?

lila

no, chat sometimes does not send the message and says "failure" with options to send again, edit or cancel; if you said "hey" and then closed the web tab, then your "hey" has disapeared without a trace.

I have a SEDE query that you might find interesting for your Trivia Pet suit meta post: data.stackexchange.com/pets/query/1421891

rene

14:43

and here is one for tweeted and Hot posts and the time between those events: data.stackexchange.com/pets/query/1421899/…

lila

@JourneymanGeek okay does this mean that it is normal? by the way, it works now.

Journeyman Geek

Yeah

Well sometimes it breaks and you need a CM to kick it

lila

@Nai45 Hahahaha maybe, but 50 seems a bit excessive and ridiculous, could we agree to make it 47 instead? And second, could we agree to make it in graphic program instead of paper? It will still be handwritten of course!

@JourneymanGeek ok thanks!

Nai45

@lila hmmmm :/ fine

but must be handwritten ;)

@rene Thanks a lot for your contribution, both queries are very fitting for the event.

Stephie

Ouch - no dog walking for me atm. Twisted my knee when Xabi jumped into the leash. And I knew he would (car getting too close for his comfort), was prepared, and still hurt myself. Just stupid.

@Nai45 Thou shalt not disrespect your moderator or be overly demanding ;-)

C.Koca

20:14

@Stephie get well soon!

I never walked a dog in my life

My parents' dog would walk beside me when I gather wood or something and sometimes, trusting me, he would go and provoke other dogs. When I move away he would then rush to me :)

Anyone works in image processing? Can anyone tell if this is copied pasted or genuinely written?

lila

21:59

@C.Koca Hey it just so happens that I work in image processing, and I had to take closer look and was inspecting it for about half an hour, but my conclusion is that it is 100% genuinely written! Trust me!

C.Koca

@lila You have waaay too much free time :)

lila

22:26

@C.Koca I have almost no free time, I am constantly so busy moderating Pets Q&A and Litter Box chat (and working in image processing of course).

C.Koca

@lila I moderate the chat now!

lila

@C.Koca We moderate the chat!

C.Koca

TIL, I learnt a new word diffidence and noticed that con- and dif- are exact opposites

Confidence/Diffidence, Confer/Differ, Conference/Difference

I would have never noticed because -fer in confer is pronounced way different than -fer in differ

lila

Nice thanx for sharing! A few months ago I discovered that "finite" and "infinite" are not pronounced the same in the "finite" part, and this makes no sense!

C.Koca

@lila That was hard for me too

lila

22:31

it is pronounced "infinit" vs "fainight"

C.Koca

English is a weird language

@lila btw, a few days ago I followed you to your other chat room

"agora"

lila

I also think so, how would you pronounce "lighght"?

C.Koca

sorry, I stalked a little :)

lila

@C.Koca nice! do not worry please, I "stalk" Litter Box chat users like this all the time.

C.Koca

@lila layft?

@lila I thought of joining, but I am too politically involved for an SE politics chat room

lila

22:35

@C.Koca but isn't the 'gh' in 'light' silent? Shouldn't 'lighght' be the same as 'light'?

C.Koca

@lila The second gh is pronounced as the gh in enough, because why not?

lila

@C.Koca It is just food for thought by the way, I do not have any answer to this ^.^ wow okay, that gh in enough argument is really clever, I did not think of this.

C.Koca

@lila It was a riddle by our physics teacher in high school. What is GHOT?

lila

I opened your avatar image and I am currently preparing to start actually drawing it for you :o

C.Koca

@lila You are too kind :)

lila

22:38

@C.Koca "Psychics teacher" makes me see "ghot" as a shorthand for "foton"/"photon"... okay "photon" makes no sense in this context, tell me answer please

C.Koca

@lila Fish. gh as in enough, o as in women and t as in station

lila

@C.Koca If I was really that kind, this drawing would have been ready the next day; instead, I came up with an brand-new excuse each day the last week or so, I cannot keep doing this.

C.Koca

He was making fun of the lack of central structure in English, although he was a native English speaker himself

@lila You are doing a favor! And definitely not an urgent one

lila

Wow I would never think about it like this!

<*)v))><

C.Koca

@lila What is that?

lila

22:41

@C.Koca ghot

C.Koca

He had some obsession with fish

He also used fish as an example for the wave particle duality

lila

I also have "some" obsession with fish, tell me more about wave particle fish please

C.Koca

He says "Is fish a wave?" everybody says no. Then he goes "Is fish a particle?" incoherent agreement. Then he makes his final comment, "Fish is fish, some properties of it is explained by wave mechanics and some by particle mechanics"

lila

Wow this is really really clever, I remember we were talking in this room about physics 2 weeks ago (the most active day in years on Litter Box) and you said basically the same (minus the fish part); it is correct, light has its specific nature and light is not aware about the concept of particles nor waves.

Warning, "humour":

in The Awkward Silence, Nov 17 '20 at 15:20, by lila

I realize that I'm a bit obsessed on fish and aquariums, maybe it's been enough, okay let's change topic to something different. Maybe let's talk about travel? Okay, so: I like visiting sea coastline small cities, they are peaceful and there are a lot of restaurants with delicious fried fish. And my father has been on a Bornholm trip for hobbyist cod fishing. Now your turn <°)ֆֆֆֆ><

@C.Koca Okay look I came up with alternative solution: 'ghot' is a ghost of a snake. It is ethereal in its nature, so it obviously cannot interact via making audible 'ssssssss' sounds that live snakes make. It is a ghost which lacks 'ssssssss', thus ghot.

C.Koca

22:57

@lila Yup, it is all thanks to good old Mr. Ives. And you know, if you still remember your high school physics teacher's sayings, it means he was a very good one

@lila :D

@lila We might start our own Riddler's Den :)
