Oh no my sensation!
It's turned into a crisp by now.
user116848
It is a fiction btw :)
user116848
I am not that adventurous yet.
Oooh BTW if @snail was here, she would've pointed out that teammates is one word.
But I won't point out since I'm not @snail.
user116848
Well ping me if you find anything!
15:38
@Arrowfar @Arrowfar!
user116848
I was hanging around in ELU chat recently. I had some cool discussions there :-)
I found your article.
user116848
You did? :)
It's right here.
Oh that's cool.
I wonder how much I can take it further.
user116848
Ah, not that.

Woohooo!

Hey, stop it! :-)

@Arrowfar What? I've barely begun...MWAHHAHAHHHHAHAHAHHA etc.

@M.A.Ramezani Yeah I remember, you are you :-)

Nanga Parbat (literally, Naked Mountain Urdu: نانگا پربت [nəŋɡaː pərbət̪]) is the ninth highest mountain in the world at 8,126 metres (26,660 ft) above sea level. It is the western anchor of the Himalayas around which the Indus river skirts into the plains of Pakistan. It is located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, and is locally known as 'Deo Mir' ('mir' meaning 'mountain'). Nanga Parbat is one of the eight-thousanders, with a summit elevation of 8,126 metres (26,660 ft). An immense, dramatic peak rising far above its surrounding terrain, Nanga Parbat is also a notoriously difficult...

15:45
I hear it has a very tricky climb.
Yes it is.
I remember some mountains that were especially hard to climb.
user116848
I mean sharp ridges and all.
Mt. Everest is relatively easy to climb.
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani Have you climbed one?
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani Yes it is relatively easy.
15:46
@Arrowfar Nah nah! I'm not a mountain climber!
I was just enthusiastic at some point.
What was its name again? K2?
user116848
Mount Everest is a piece of cake. All you need is lots of cash though :)
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani Yes K2 is tough too.
It's the toughest.
user116848
Yes it is.
Don't ask me for evidence.
user116848
15:48
Well, I won't. I have studied a lot about mountains.
I can't remember what my statements were based on.
K2 had only about 300 climbers per year.
user116848
I am interested in climbing and trekking etc. all the time.
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani Yes and many deaths sadly.
But Himalaya is a cheat itself.
user116848
I read such news and all my enthusiasm goes away.
15:50
Even its valleys are too tall.
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani You mean they are easy?
Poor Kilimanjaroo.
user116848
I don't get the 'cheat' part.
@Arrowfar Nah I mean, because the height measuring is from the sea level, all Himalayan Mts end up with altitudes higher than 6000.
user116848
Yeah Kilimanjaroo is far far away from here.
15:52
But they themselves aren't taller than 4000 ms.
user116848
I have visited Kenya in the past though. I never talk about my international travel though.
user116848
Mount Kilimanjaroo's top looks like a flying saucer in real life.
user116848
I mean air, clouds and snow gave it that look.
All in all, I meant that Kilimanjaro should've been the highest of all.
If
and only if there wasn't the sea level measurement.
user116848
Yeah mountains are almost twice their size in the bottom too.
user116848
15:55
Twice or thrice.
user116848
That reminds me, they say the geography of the world changed a bit after the great flood. But religious texts (Islamic) don't say anything like that, or at least I don't know it yet.
The great flood?
user116848
From Hazrat Noah's era.
user116848
Toofan/Silaab in Urdu.
طوفان
user116848
15:59
Yeah exactly!
Let me remember...I thought they did.
user116848
I find it very tough to type Urdu/Arabic here. I mean I never type those languages. I only write them by hand on paper etc. for exams etc.
@Arrowfar I use on screen keyboard.
user116848
Ahh
user116848
I'll practice it too. Looks cool.
16:02
Well, I do have a touch screen device.
That makes things easier, I dunno.
user116848
Ipad?
Nah. It's an ASUS laptop.
user116848
I don't have it. I use PC most of the time.
But it's touchy...
user116848
I see.
user116848
16:08
ELU chat is not very active today. It is kinda fun sometimes. But only tough people last there ;-) I am not ;-)
user116848
They say that room is more lenient.
user116848
True.
You haven't seen their 'other face of the coin' huh?
user116848
Mean one?
user116848
I have seen them both.
user116848
16:11
Sorry typo.
Nevermind.
Typos are what that make life easier.
Or was that mathematics? Dunno.
user116848
No, I meant I have seen both sides of the coin there.
user116848
I can't focus right now, be right back after eating something.
user116848
Toodle pip again!
user116848
Nice talking though.
16:14
Have fun writing fictional thingies!
user116848
Haha. Well, I only do it for fun, no hidden agenda. I am in a finance field basically :-)
user116848
It is a 10 minutes write so very good for brain.
user116848
I mean your brain gets a good jog :-)
What does your body do in that 10 minutes?
user116848
It (brain) thinks, makes up a story and (hands) write.
16:17
Or type.
Or write.
user116848
yeah
Or type again.
user116848
exactly, exactly, exactly!
user116848
I didn't participate this week though. I will write it today or tomorrow.
user116848
Above one is from last week.
user116848
16:20
But after writing I correct all the typos (after 10 minutes)
Anonymous
@M.A.Ramezani Very far. But please don't―you can do that sort of thing in a sandbox room :-)

@snailboat Hi there snail! :P

Hello!
@snailboat Don't worry that much.

I'm not worried
16:22
Give me a break guys...My fingers ache now.

@Arrowfar Your writing is improving
Anonymous
I'm also impressed you wrote that much in 10 minutes :-)
user116848
@snailboat Thanks a lot! ;-)
user116848
@snailboat I pasted the pic afterwards. Also corrected some typos.
user116848
Well, it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I make up a crappy story.
16:27
@Arrowfar Did ya know most authors thought their book was crappy?
user116848
No, I didn't know.
user116848
I like such humble authors.
Like George Orwell.
user116848
Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), who used the pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and commitment to democratic socialism. Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction, and polemical journalism. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working class life in the north...

Q: Are these sentences correct? - "The confusion has cleared."

Gurpreet The confusion has cleared. The problem has solved. Actually, I've looked up in many reputed dictionaries and haven't found any usage of "solve" and "clear" in the way in which these are used in the above sentences. But when I google these usages, I find many results on reputed websi...

> a) The confusion has cleared.
b) The problem has solved.
Clear seems to be more feasible.

How about those?
Anonymous
I can't figure out a way to say something like "The confusion has cleared" without paraphrasing like that. That's why I changed a) so much.
@snailboat Apparently, we can find a lot of The confusion has cleared on the web!
Ah my head!
I miss Cabin.
Hugs Cabin
> Careful history of available medication in the household and of street drug opportunities (usually after the confusion has cleared) is often necessary.
Anonymous
I'm not trying to say the confusion has cleared is ungrammatical or anything
@M.A.Ramezani The Cabin is hugging you back.

@DamkerngT. It works fine in this example

That guy in that room really annoys me.
@Arrowfar Second row!

Sometimes I get dreams about chat that I am saying xyz to xyz person, like general comments you know.

I find that if I dream about something in daily life, it usually means I'm doing a lot of it.

Although sometimes it doesn't.

One time I dreamt that I had to take the trash out, so in my dream I got up and took the trash out and came back in
user116848
I feel pretty weird after I wake up because none of that has actually happened.
Anonymous
Then I woke up and found that I had to take out the trash again in real life
Anonymous
I was so annoyed with my subconscious for making me take the trash out twice ;-)
@Arrowfar I've zoomed: 110%.
user116848
@snailboat So, I feel glad too that I didn’t say anything stupid in reality.
user116848
18:24
@M.A.Ramezani Radiant!
@Arrowfar I do too.
user116848
So a good friend of mine, a neighbor, asked me for my router’s password the other day and I had to say “no” because I never give my passwords. I told him that he can use the internet in my home if he likes, but apparently he wanted to work from his own home. I live in apartments so everything is so close. I felt kinda bad after rejecting him.
user116848
These kinda situations are tricky. You have to come up with something creative to keep the peace too.
user116848
But I am pretty sure I will get the same treatment from him next time :)
@Arrowfar You always feel like that in that kinda situations.
user116848
18:26
@M.A.Ramezani Yeah it is tough!
user116848
Well, I welcome him in my home.
user116848
Btw routers suck. Everyone near knows you have one.
user116848
I used to use cable connection.
user116848
He has it though. It was broken or something
@Arrowfar What do they suck?
Air?
Electricity?
user116848
18:31
haha
user116848
Someone once said in the base camp chat: What if routers give out oxygen and tress free internet signals.
user116848
If memory serves me right.
@Arrowfar What was their name?
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani It was a meme. This one:
user116848

I nailed it!

Q: I'd suggest eliminate 'close' from ELL section

karlalouSince the nature of posters there (tend to have not enough explanations or vague or unclear), there are many possibilities hidden even in the case at a glance it looks like, for example, lacking efforts on posters side (maybe just the poster don't know what to do). I wonder if the answerers are ...

@Arrowfar In the US, a lot of our cell towers are in the form of artificial trees
Anonymous
So they look like trees unless you pay close attention and realize they're just a little too perfect
user116848
18:44
@snailboat They are? That is kinda awesome :)
@snailboat So can they absorb Carbon dioxide?
I think I've read somewhere that they do.
user116848
user116848
Yes that is cool if it is a cell tower.
Or they could.
Or they were gonna advance so that they would.
Or could.
user116848
Well, I have traveled in the west but never really noticed a cell tower.
user116848
18:49
On highways maybe, yes.
user116848
On highways there is nothing to do except to stare out of the bus/car window.
user116848
I encountered monkeys on a highway once.
user116848
It was scary.
@Arrowfar Haha, were their butts red?
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani Hahahaha! Yes.
user116848
18:52
But I don't look at their butts.
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani You are pretty funny, I'll give you that :-)
@Arrowfar I was testing you...
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani And I was testing you :)
To find out that I was testing you?
user116848
Yes, maybe.

Hello.

Quick question, if a friend shared a movie link to you, what's the correct response?

a. Yep, I've seen it
b. Yep, I've seen this

and what's the difference? I can't seem to notice the difference :/
Hullo @Penn!
Welcome to the chatroom!
user116848
"a" seems correct. Like "Yep, I've seen it (the movie)"
Hello :)
@Pennf0lio This is used when you're 'pointing' at it.
If you're not, which is the case here, a is better.
user116848
In case of "b" it is like "Yep, I've seen this (the link or the movie)"
19:09
i see
@M.A.Ramezani & @Arrowfar, Thank You!
I now get it, I was referring to the link and movie, so "b" i think make sense. :)
@Arrowfar Yeah...Or when the guy's showing you the DVD.
@Pennf0lio Anytime!
user116848
@Pennf0lio Welcome!
user116848
@M.A.Ramezani Yeah
