The more fancy ones have a handle that can rotate in 360 degrees where horizontal movement determines the temperature, and the ve...

Needs a mod to close in that case.

hello world
seems the world is silent today
 
Why the monospace?
 
why not?
:)
tbh i don't really have a reason
 
Because... that's not what monospace is for... and it makes it a bit harder to read.
 
well then
i guess you won that one
 
Whee.

HTML official specs: enclose all sarcasm in <sarcasm></sarcasm> :)
 
Jan 27 at 16:27, by Mithical
It's not difficult to be sarcastic over chat... it's just transferring tonal nuance through a medium of communication that does not support nuance, over a cultural barrier that you're not always even aware of, and having the other person understand.
 
ok then
a meta quote
is the gerbil still in his cage?
 
*blinks*
What kinda cage we talkin' bout here, @Beast
 
a gerbil cage. Obviously.
:)
 
Well, yes, but is it a suitable cage for a beastly gerbil or is it just a standard gerbil cage?
Does it have imgur access?
 
9:31 PM
probably
 
Because if not, I'm afraid I must intercede.
 
on who's behalf?
mine or BG's?
 
Although that reminds me that I haven't seen an imgur maze in a while. I guess that fell out of fashion.
@merrybot the beast
 
if you want another non-imgur maze: scratch.mit.edu/projects/389617701
 
hum let's see if i remember my scratch password
 
9:34 PM

That's a rather aggressive bounce.
 
Avi
 
Are you using the old-X etc. variable method for bouncing or what?
 
Avi
Help!!?!
 
yep
but at least you can't cheat..
I imagine scratch.mit.edu/users/mithical isn't you?
 
9:36 PM
It is not
 
super plane?!
 
I chose that username when I was eight or something...
 
israel?
 
...that would be where I live, yes.
 
antarctica (jk)
 
9:38 PM
I haven't really touched Scratch in years.
Aside from mentoring at Scratch Day for a few years.
 
> superplane shared the project jerusalem escape room demo
> 2 weeks, 2 days ago
seems to contradict that
but ok
 
You'll notice that that project doesn't exist. ;)
 
*facepalm*
 
I needed a quick mockup. I meant as in I haven't done anything seriously with Scratch in years. A quick mockup doesn't count :P
