Hello everyone, longe time from my last hi!

Hope you're doing well.

reading actually quite takes energy. Conversation takes less energy than reading. That's why having related people surrounded helps a lot. Searching for some kinds of information on web quite takes time; if there are related people surrounded informing you, that would give you a good hand.

I think saying "relevant people" and "irrelevant people" is OK. Some people are really irrelevant to me because my mental interests have no overlap with theirs so that I can't have relevant conversation with them. Some people can have relevant conversation with me even in the first meeting because we share similar interests.

like I usually hear "enthusiastic people", but now I see "enthusiastic" used to modify inanimate thing--"Another enthusiastic finding of our work is that isotropic theories can not have negative excess noise in the case of quark motion."

I think mental counselors can only serve kids' mind because they are naive and haven't learnt much about any specialized field. As one grows up and becomes specialized in various fields, mental counselors can no longer serve their mental needs, which need to be served by their peers.

Word of the day: Law of Three Spikelets

I found this researcher's research introduction is sloppy in grammar but he requires the appointee he wants to employ to have good oral and writing English ability.

> The last ringdown telephone exchange in the United States was located at Bryant Pond, Maine, had 400+ subscribers, and converted to dial service in October 1983.

Word of the day: ringdown

hunger trouble--when there is no peer to go hunting together, I have no momentum to go hunting, and just want to read something, but hunger keeps hindering.

there is no-called finding proper food--you just need to keep hunting.

> According to the Osmolality box (?) cell (?) of analytical report 123, no osmolality analysis was performed.

Which word is best used here: box or cell?

I don't think there's a whole column devoted to osmolality testing, it must be just a single box.

I'm just unsure what to call it in English

@snailboat It's funny

> Trump to build a wall, but many bricks lacking

> Trump to launch an AI initiative, but many marbles lacking

Reminds me of our politicians

> Transfer the centrifuge to Microbiological Laboratory and assign an ID number to it.

"Assign an ID number to it" or "Assign it with an ID number"?

O_O

@CowperKettle Both sound fine to me.

Yep, but I think the first is more common.

@CowperKettle I take this only to mean not many details have been provided, but perhaps by means of an expected fallacy they suggest that the plan hasn't been fleshed out yet, and thus the Trump trampling treads onwards.

But I haven't read about it. I do occasionally read newspapers but I think that just because news outlets display something doesn't mean it's important. Most of the time it isn't.

I know, just in combination with Trump's photo it seemed funny

What does the first sentence mean? I asked them but I still don't get it.

Oh, never mind, I got it just now.

Lol.

I don't think it really applies to rather or maybe I'm not seeing how it applies.

Me neither. I first thought maybe it's got to do with how BrE and AmE differ...

Yes.

Thanks, I'll look at that when I get home.

Word of the eve: scalar modifiers

@CowperKettle Pair of words of the night: scalars and vectors

kazhdomu lektoru v zhopu po vektoru ("Stuff a vector up each lecturer's ass", an indecent Russian students' motto; it has a saving grace: it rhymes)

@Jasper there are more: spinor, quaternion, octonian,

I think Facebook may not be a good place to keep diary--it can't retrieve what I posted easily.

some posts may even disappear themselves.

Can we withdraw from service a unit of equipment?

I used "put out of operation" once but I want some alternative.

and it informs irrelevant posts from time to time.

and it can't really block friends' message.

Social networks are time killers

But they are so addictive

not really

It's a sliding scale, making you slide towards addiction in a vectorly fashion.

I mainly get facebook to post my note, like some chat rooms here.

most of these notes can only interest peers, like some chat rooms here.

I accepted friends' request just for my curiosity to see what friends in Facebook work like. But I have found they are not my taste, and hope they can disappear from me automatically.

I unfollow friends posting caricature.

food shares the side effect of drug that it make us listless.

food is the medicine to hunger.

after having food, you can't think well.

I must be having food all the time, then.

that's really boring.

I used to get online MSN to chitchat whenever I had a meal and can't think well.

I just use Google Hangouts, which will become Google Chat and Meet later this year, comes with your Google account.

but now MSN can't be used and there is no alternative messenger of MSN.

Just use Google Hangouts.

nobody is there.

It supports text chatting and even video calls.

Your friend just needs a Google account.

I just used it to chat with a friend from Facebook, but found he is a fool.

Am I a fool too?

so I have started to believe that only fools would add strangers as friends in Facebook.

If you treat everyone as a fool, you will never make any friends.

do you know what fools are like? They don't talk with you about real things. They say something fooling around you.

they are really fools.

What do you want to talk about then? If there is something you want to talk about, you can start the conversation with that topic.

nasa scientists on Facebook also fool around you--they say you don't need food and just make medication to stave off hunger, and you don't need a house and just stay in nature and you don't need books to study and you just observe the nature to think.

The dark theme doesn't work very well in Windows 10. If you go to the list of installed programs in Control Panel you will see what I mean, LOL.

People may not say serious things on FB, and what you say there may be hacked and used to track you. I don't use FB.

and he also says the best science is in nature so you don't need to go to school.

Then just don't talk to them about these things.

he obviously just wants to fool around and doesn't want to talk about real things.

actually almost all Facebook friends are fools in some way, just in different ways.

Same for me, I am also fooling around...

some never talk real things with me but whenever passing message to me, they ask pictures.

I don't use Facebook to show my pictures.

Pictures? Maybe they want to date you, LOL.

I use it to make notes.

or make Stack Exchange.

but nobody to exchange there, so it's just my note.

You need to decide what you want to talk about and find the right platform for that.

there are some chat rooms here which are for talking about real things.

Hmm, I think when I feel better I will start a new youtube channel.

like geometry+physics.

Well, I think the SE chat rooms can be a good place to talk about soft topics like which programs to apply for.

In terms of doing serious mathematics or physics, if you post a question on the main site or in chat, sometimes some expert can give you a good answer.

@CaptainBohemian you need to enlighten up

However, I think the best is to study on your own or in a university.

Beyond that, you don't really get any conversations that are more serious than that.

there were some people in physics chat rooms talking about that not long ago, but these days nobody talks about that.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Erm, I don't know if that is meant to be a pun.

@CaptainBohemian Which is why I said you should try to find proper housing, proper food, and a proper position. Good luck!!!

@Jasper that's why I say position is all.

Right now I'm not so sure either. Solving questions on colligative properties is self-imposed slow death.

I wonder what's the fun of holding conference in SE. Nobody can see you.

there are some people lacking position holding conference in SE.

@CaptainBohemian Must everything you do be acknowledged by someone else to matter?

You'd have a hard time using the bathroom then :P

> Constant disruption of deliveries from the current producers leads to process deviations at our plant.

@Jasper is that easy? checking research takes time.

I wonder if there's a better phrase for "disruption of deliveries"

@CowperKettle Wow that's the wordiest thing I've seen in a while

bows down

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ but what if you can't get acknowledgement for whatever you do?

@CowperKettle the producers fail to deliver, or deliver late?

@CaptainBohemian That would be irrelevant in case you're doing something that you don't want acknowledgement for

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ The Russian word sboi can mean either.

Also, with so many "d"s, I wonder how I can fit a "disturbance" there

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ you know what we need acknowledgement? because we need position.

But it tends to be used more for "late delivery"

you can't self-study and write it on CV to apply for position.

@CaptainBohemian Unless you're a programmer

Or a translator

I did not have a translator's education.

@CowperKettle Maybe "erratic" is a more suitable option?

They're being annoyingly unpredictable so the process is affected

My friend works as an operator of programmable metal-working machines. He did not study formally to be one. Just read some books and became one.

@CowperKettle don't really know how programmer gets acknowledgement without a position.

Another friend works as a cook. He did not study to be a cook. He just loves to cook.

BBL back to studying

See ya!

if you publish a paper via a conference in SE, can't you write it in CV

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Thank you!

@CaptainBohemian Which is why I told you to keep trying and make do with what little info you have.

@CowperKettle Current producers' failure to deliver consistently impacts our process and makes it difficult to achieve the desired quality standard.” if you want to go “full business jargon mode”

@CaptainBohemian That will never happen because SE is not the platform to do that.

@Jasper I did see someone in physics se did that, and that's why I asked what's the fun of doing that.

maybe not a real conference, but a scientific talk about his research.

@snailboat Right, I see.

Anyway, I can't say I've ever heard well weird.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Get well soon.

Haha.

has to study as well

@userr2684291 it's only funny when it's someone else

@snailboat it probably refers to that well an evil witch came out and scared the poop out of people from

Hi! In a sentence like this one: "I think we all know what kind of crazy Marxist nonsense student unions get up to", can you only construe "crazy Marxist" as a qualifier to "nonsense" or can you see it as "nonsense of the crazy Marxist" i.e. Marxist as a name for a type of person at large, despite the fact there is no possession marker? Or had that been the case would there have been the plural (Marxists) with or without the possession marker (crazy Marxist's/Marxists')?

@juscogensprime I would interpret it as both Marxist nonsense and crazy nonsense, the actual Marxist isn’t anywhere in that sentence;)

The student union is a bunch of crazy Marxists is slightly different

Or “what kind of crazy nonsense a Marxist can get up to...” I think you need the article or plural to talk about Marxist people.
