@JasperLoy It's so winter. I now imagine Olaf using facebook when I see that blue.

@meer2kat I liked the one I saw earlier. It was more vintage. Now, you just remind me of the girls that try a little too hard to look cute.

meer2kat

@Nick lol cool

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy Nice

@Nick Isn't that better than using too many Instagram filters

meer2kat

i don't really care. i'm in a sorority. it's what i'm like. plus that pic was from like two years ago. this was like three weeks ago

Nick

@ᴇʏᴇs depends on the picture and the filters used.

@meer2kat Boy, you're getting older. It shows.

meer2kat

@Nick yeah getting older happens when you get older.

Nick

02:04

@meer2kat I hate that. I hate getting older. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Can I have some milk and cookies before I go to bed tonight. Don't forget the T-Rex on my wishlist.

meer2kat

@Nick okay. how old are you anyways?

Nick

@meer2kat Many lifetimes.

ᴇʏᴇs

@Nick is a vampire

meer2kat

@Nick right

Sayan Chattopadhyay

hi @JasperLoy

meer2kat

02:05

@ᴇʏᴇs #gross

Nick

@ᴇʏᴇs I dislike byood. I fwy away, now.

@JasperLoy say something before this turns into a horrible remake of the Interview with A Vampire

@ᴇʏᴇs If anyone's a vampire, I think it ought to be Jasper. Unlike Marceline who feasts on red, jasper feeds on blue!

@meer2kat How do you deal with knowing that one day, everythings going to you know, flatline. It's horrible to know that in the end, you'd be forcefully thrust into an eternity of nothingness during which the world would just go on as it is.

ᴇʏᴇs

@Nick wat

meer2kat

@ᴇʏᴇs You having a nice time? I've got 60-80 years til then if I stay in good health.

Don Larynx

@meer2kat barbieface as fuck

ᴇʏᴇs

@meer2kat I guess

Don Larynx

02:15

:p

ᴇʏᴇs

@DonLarynx lol

Nick

@ᴇʏᴇs I mean its plausible.

@meer2kat Days go by as quickly as a wink.

meer2kat

@Nick Yes they do. In the meantime I'm 20 years old and doing my best.

Nick

@meer2kat You'd be surprised how many 60 year olds say that.

meer2kat

alright i'm leaving. talk to you all later.

ᴇʏᴇs

02:17

Later @meer2kat

Sayan Chattopadhyay

hi @DonLarynx

Nick

@DonLarynx trollface as a duck. Now, I'd love to see that movie.

Don Larynx

@Nick wow lol that's not nice

Nick

@SayanChattopadhyay Hi @Sayan, how's kung fu going.

Sayan Chattopadhyay

kung fu?

Nick

02:19

@SayanChattopadhyay reference to dbz

Sayan Chattopadhyay

whats dbz now @nick

Nick

@DonLarynx how would you know?

@SayanChattopadhyay Lizard Sphere Omega

Sayan Chattopadhyay

lizard?sphere...i know omega i dont know whats lizard

Nick

@SayanChattopadhyay Gosh, do I have to flood you with over 9000 hints?

Sayan Chattopadhyay

yup

David Wheeler

02:22

Drag......

Nick

on

Ba..

Sayan Chattopadhyay

come on what were you telling @Nick

Nick

@SayanChattopadhyay Dragon Ball Z, dammit!

Sayan Chattopadhyay

oh dragon ball z i finished the whole sereies when i was 10

Nick

@SayanChattopadhyay ... and how do you walk around with a name like Sayan without being a constant dbz reference magnet.

Sayan Chattopadhyay

02:26

well people here dont watch anime that much

JMoravitz

>_<' So many things wrong in the past many mentions of dbz...

Paul Plummer

He probably is only around uncultured twits that don't know what dbz is

JMoravitz

its "over 8000" first off, (should pressure people to stop using the bad incorrect translation of 9000), the race of aliens are called saiyans (sai from japanese 菜 - vegetable) (japanese was saiyajin)

Nick

@SayanChattopadhyay every indian child who remembers toonami on cartoon network know dbz and pokemon.

ᴇʏᴇs

Why is the translation over 8,000

JMoravitz

02:30

and its most certainly not kung-fu that they use

Sayan Chattopadhyay

point they just fight

ᴇʏᴇs

Lion-style Kempo

Nick

@JMoravitz It was over 800 in the first english dub too. I guess there were two studios or something. Now, they're remastering everything and 9000 is canon.

JMoravitz

dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/It%27s_Over_9000!

Nick

@JMoravitz you never saw the db:evolutions movie , did you.... I wish neither have I.

JMoravitz

02:32

No, I had not. Just as I have not yet (and don't plan to) seen the live action "The Last Airbender" movie

ᴇʏᴇs

It's so bad

Nick

@JMoravitz that scene.... I only thought there could be atmost 3. The Jap, Then Eng and the Kai. That page reveals a lot!

@JMoravitz I issued a petition to the local dvd library to take it off their shelves. We can't change the fact it was made though.

JMoravitz

At this point, I watch most of my shows without subtitles, except for sci-fi... way too many technical terms I don't know yet

Nick

@JMoravitz Use the Kaiju-jumanjuju ray!! Yakitate, Hayate!

lol

JMoravitz

Well, @nick there are plenty of artistic anime out there which are wholly deserving of a spot in a library. Although db/z might not be one of them, it certainly helped shape its genre and was highly influential, and so should deserve at least some level of respect.

Nick

02:39

@JMoravitz No, I meant for Last Airbender (and also After Earth). M. Night really let go after Signs.

JMoravitz

Oh, absolutely then. Torch every copy you find.

Nick

@JMoravitz I'll throw them all into the Sarlacc Pit.

JMoravitz

Since there seems to be an interesting overlap of interests here, might I suggest 数学ガール MathsGirl(s)

Nick

@SaalHardali yes, there is. If you want to know how, then you have go ask on main.

JMoravitz

Cute story about a guy crushing on a socially inept girl who spends most all of her time thinking/talking math.

Nick

02:42

@JMoravitz .......................................... I did not expect it to exist.

JMoravitz

There's some legit math in it too.

meer2kat

@JMoravitz that sounds cool

is it dubbed or subbed?

oh wait, it's a manga. jk.

Nick

@JMoravitz the integral of sec y dy from 0 to pi?

JMoravitz

I doubt it got an anime yet (nor do I expect it to ever). It is as I understand just a manga at the moment.

meer2kat

looks neat. i'll have to check it out

Nick

02:44

I need some help with making a manga site. Can someone point me in the right direction to seek help. I give up trying from scratch, I need a tempate or something. Anyone here have any first hand knowledge of something like that? Maybe point me in the right direction.

Paul Plummer

@JMoravitz It was originally a book, supposedly the third book is suppose to be translated to english pretty soon

meer2kat

@Nick why not just use preexisting sites.

Nick

@meer2kat like comic-fury, tumblr? No.

meer2kat

@Nick no like manga panda

Owatch

I have odd question.

JMoravitz

02:47

@Owatch Its not on the recent starred, but commonly there is "Don't ask to ask questions, just ask them"

Owatch

I am naming a function, but wish to name it accurately.

Nick

@meer2kat no, I need to make one like xkcd or smbc for a friend. i thought it would be easy but I just don't know shit about cms.

Owatch

It finds the tangent between dx and dy.

Clarinetist

Any $\LaTeX$ gurus here?

Owatch

What should I call it? returnTangentFromAToB?

Nick

02:47

@Clarinetist many.

Owatch

Is there a better word for that. .

meer2kat

@jmor the art is really pretty in this

Clarinetist

I got a tabular in an enumerate environment. What's the best way to shift it down? vspace right after the \item ends up shifting down the \item as well.

Nick

@Owatch never prefix a function with return unless it's just an accessor function.. which on most labgauages, I tend to avoid.

Clarinetist

My code looks something like

`\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{tabular}{cc}
1 & 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}`

Owatch

02:49

There is nothing wrong with beginning with return.

But if it pleases you I will change it to get

JMoravitz

@Owatch just like there is nothing wrong with using "GOTO" commands,

Owatch

GOTO?

Nick

@Owatch seriously, what's your language? He's obviously talking C/C#/C++

JMoravitz

if you don't know of them, then that's good. They need to be forgotten.

Owatch

Objective C.

Nick

02:51

@Owatch you heard nothing about goto ;/ okay

Owatch

No, I have not heard of it.

Nick

@Owatch exactly. keep it that way,

Clarinetist

Before my LaTeX question gets lost, anyone have any ideas? :P

Owatch

So anyways, any suggestions?

One function returns the vector, but I wish to return the literal distance. Not dx, dy, but sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)

Nick

@Clarinetist It's seems like you want to enumerate a table. The guys down at TeX, LaTeX and Friends will be able to help you better but if you're intending that code for a post on this site, then I suggest you simply do it the ol fashioned way 1. \$..code for table\$

Clarinetist

02:52

Yes, I am doing that. Reason being is because it's the way actuarial exams are formatted. In other \items, I would insert more information.

Owatch

I don't know what a good word for it would be. get___distance?

Wait what

I meant hypotenuse.

Clarinetist

I'll try TeX

SE

I sure wish I learned C++ and Java in my undergrad. I only know Python :/

Owatch

I like Python, good language.

Nick

@Clarinetist which is good enough. Python developers earn almost as much as C++ developers in the modern economy. It's also the best language out there for us math peoples.

JMoravitz

@owatch we commonly use $\sqrt{dx^2+dy^2}$ when doing calculations about arclength,

so, perhaps if that is related to what you are doing, then you can name it having to do with that,

Owatch

02:56

@JMoravitz Ah yes, but what would you name it? 'getHypotenuseFromA:... B:...'?

'getArcLength'?

JMoravitz

"getArcLengthDifferential" perhaps,

If this is code that you and only you are going to be looking at, then so long as you know what it does, you could name it however you please

Nick

@Owatch gosh, it depends on circumstance and usage. have you finished all aspects of the code? If not, then name it getPoo, and in a sticky note write wht it is. That's what i do.

Owatch

I wish to name it accurately. But I know what it does if it isn't.

JMoravitz

Nick

@Owatch Peter Parker is defined first. Spiderman is defined over it.

Owatch

02:59

Uh.

How about we start over?

Function 1 returns vector(dx,dy)

Function 2 returns the hypotenuse of the right triangle created with dx, dy.

If 1 is named: getVector

What would you name 2?

JMoravitz

and are dx and dy infinitesimals?

Owatch

I don't know what an infinitesimal is.

Nick

@Owatch I'd name it getMag or getMagnitude

Owatch

I like that, you're good Nick.

Nick

@Owatch $\displaystyle dx \approx \lim_{h \to \infty} \dfrac{x}{h}$

JMoravitz

03:03

Indeed. Infinitesimals are essentially the smallest nonzero numbers, which are essential to the understanding of calculus.

Nick

Idk, infinitesimal just means really small.

Owatch

I have done limits before. But never heard of that term.

JMoravitz

When I saw "dx" and "dy", that's immediately where my mind went, as opposed to $\Delta x$ and $\Delta y$

of course, now that I understand the context more clearly, it makes sense why you'd use d's instead.

Nick

@JMoravitz Which is righter? $x$ tending to zero but not zero or is it x divided into infinite parts? Both sound equivalent.

JMoravitz

the rate at which it happens though is different @nick. I'd use the divided into many parts one.

meer2kat

03:06

ohhhh i like this sequence

Nick

@JMoravitz Btw is $\partial x$ smaller or something?

JMoravitz

@meer2kat a sequence that appears in 数学ガール I assume?

meer2kat

6, 2, 8, 2, 10, 18, 4, 12, 10, 6...etc. @jmor

Nick

@meer2kat lol, what's the def for that. Looks cool.

meer2kat

@Nick try to figure it out. i'll tell you if you get it right

@JMoravitz yep :) i like it!

JMoravitz

03:08

@Nick eh... $\partial x$ compared to $dx$ has to do with the direction that you are traveling.

Its been a while since I've read it myself, lets see if I can figure the sequence out.

Clarinetist

If there are any $\LaTeX$ geniuses on this site: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/234435/…

JMoravitz

Oh yea. I've got it

gg

Nick

@Clarinetist hopefully you've asked the tex chatroom

@JMoravitz I didn't. Tell me!

Clarinetist

They aren't active at all. No one's on

meer2kat

@Nick you want to know?

JMoravitz

03:11

@meer2kat @Nick the next number in the sequence is 10

Nick

OEIS doesn't know this one. lol

meer2kat

lol let me know if you give up @nick

Clarinetist

Out of all of the SE chatrooms I've visited, I think Math SE's chatroom is the most active. Cross Validated, TeX, and some other ones I've seen... they seem lucky to even get activity

JMoravitz

@Nick notice that all numbers that appear so far are even, and that all numbers that appear so far are between 0 and 18

Nick

@meer2kat Okay, you got me. I give up.

meer2kat

03:12

@Clarinetist english is active. so is poetry

@Nick it's an expansion of the decimal places of the value pi, multiplied by 2

Nick

@Clarinetist There are only 3 to 4 dedicated users of that room but if you do find them by luck not only will they sort out your mess, they'll advance your latex 1000 fold. All of them are birds and I thin @egreg is an egg.

@meer2kat hahahahahaha! I could not have guess that

meer2kat

@Nick cruel right? i wouldn't have thought of it offhand. i def would have had to sit down for a while on it

ᴇʏᴇs

Welcome back @meer2kat

JMoravitz

@meer2kat @nick just reminds you that if you see a sequence that you are trying to decipher, and all entries are divisible by the same number, you can try to divide by that number to get at the gold underneath

Owatch

My vacuum cleaner shipped.

Nick

03:16

@meer2kat When I see a series, I'm pretty dumbfounded by it. Irregardless of what it is. I ask myself 5 questions and I quit. Is it AP? Is it GP? Is it HP? Is it arithmetico-geometric? Is it some fibonacci derivative?... then I draw a blank and I wait for someone else to answer it. I should really pursue more series. I seem to like it.

Jasper Loy

Hi, I am still alive.

meer2kat

@ᴇʏᴇs thanks

Nick

@JasperLoy I disagree.

Don Larynx

back already?

meer2kat

@Nick good rule of thumb. reminds me of my exam last tuesday. i went through all the stuff i normally look for and couldn't figure it out and started to panic a little. next thing i knew ten minutes had passed, there were numbers across the entire page, and i still didn't know the answer.

@JasperLoy wb

Jasper Loy

03:18

@meer2kat You look different in all your three pics.

Nick

@meer2kat that reminds m of my last math test when I couldn't get any of the integrals because I was panicking too hard.

JMoravitz

If you want a fun sequence, then try this one out: $1,4,7,11,15,19,21,24,27,...$

Nick

@JasperLoy I look immensely different everyday too. Strangely, my Finn the Human persona never seems to go away.

meer2kat

@JasperLoy getting older and dying my hair. changing my makeup too. also huge circumstance changes. i now work third shift and go to school full time so i don't get much sleep so my eyes look tired all the time

@Nick sounds like my freshman year in a nutshell

David Wheeler

lol, my eye sockets are permanently purple, i hates it.

Don Larynx

03:20

@JMoravitz the next number is 31.

:)

Owatch

@DavidWheeler Chalk

Nick

@DavidWheeler first rule of math, and also coincidentally hitchhiking through the galaxy, "Don't panic"

JMoravitz

@Don not according to the rule I had in mind. the next term wouldn't even be in the thirties.

bolbteppa

Anybody studied representation theory?

Nick

@DavidWheeler You can either hide it or you can embrace it. I'm mutant and proud. what about you?

@bolbteppa I theorise that all political representatives are pricks.

JMoravitz

03:23

@Don the next number in the sequence using the rules I am following if I didn't miscount is $74$

Don Larynx

Well you miscounted. Greatly.

Nick

@JMoravitz Is $e$ involved? How about factorials?

JMoravitz

Nope, but the pattern has to do with representations of numbers

One that is often overlooked for its less than mathematical quality

David Wheeler

The differences aren't montonically increasing. Loses interest

Nick

@DavidWheeler the initial pattern can be extended but JM says something vastly different.

JMoravitz

03:26

This will give it away perhaps: try sounding the numbers aloud

Nick

@JMoravitz oh yes, these are the dates from that god-awful nicholas cage apocalypse movie.

JMoravitz

One, Four, Seven, Eleven, Fifteen, Nineteen, Twentyone, Twentyfour, Twentyseven, Seventyfour, Seventyseven,

David Wheeler

I'm thinking a dual order by numerical value and number of syllables.

So 121 next

JMoravitz

It is the increasing sequence of integers such that the first entry is 1, and each $a_i$ is $min\{\|j\|_{\text{wordlength}} = \|a_{i-1}\|_{\text{wordlength}}+1, j>a_{i-1}\}$

meer2kat

well that was fun. i made zero progress

Nick

03:31

ehh, this seems trivial. I have more important numbers to deal with .. like Sheldon Cooper Primes

David Wheeler

ah, word-length, 11 should have tipped me off.

Nick

15

Q: Sheldon Cooper Primes

On the $73^{\text{rd}}$ episode of the Big Bang Theory, Dr. Sheldon Cooper, an astrophysicist portrayed by Jim Parsons $(1973 - \stackrel{\text{hopefully}}{2073})$ revealed his favorite number to be the sexy prime $73$ Sheldon : "The best number is $73$. Why? $73$ is the $21^{\text{s...

Owatch

Gute Nacht

Nick

@Owatch A happy nacho-night to you too.

David Wheeler

Oh sure. Those are WAY more important. That Fields Medal is in the bag.

meer2kat

03:33

here's a really dumb one. 1,11,21,1211,111221,312211,13112221

JMoravitz

Oh, yes., that is

The next is 1113213211

meer2kat

mhmmm

David Wheeler

Oh dear, have we re-discovered regular languages?

JMoravitz

I think I still have the javacode for that sequence here someplace...

Nick

@DavidWheeler I detect sarcasm.

David Wheeler

03:35

What, me? No, never.

meer2kat

i like making giant pyramids of that one. it passes the time pretty nicely

Nick

@DavidWheeler Dang it, now everything you say souunds sarcastic.

Don Larynx

Seventy four, same number of syllables as one thousand five.

phuck u

David Wheeler

I live and breathe for the sweet scent of innocence.

JMoravitz

lol @Don yes, you see why I stopped at 27 originally

Nick

03:36

@DavidWheeler ... stop making it worse.

meer2kat

@DavidWheeler that sounds super creepy

JMoravitz

(for those who didn't quite yet get meer2kat's latest sequence, its the see&say sequence)

Nick

@meer2kat reminds me of that guy who would kill and extract a woman's essence for his perfumes.

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy Hi

meer2kat

@JMoravitz oh yea. i never actually said what it was. i figured people got it

JMoravitz

03:38

(1 = "one 1", 11 = "two 1's", 21 ="one 2 one 1", etc...)

Jasper Loy

@ᴇʏᴇs Hi. I am 60 kg now.

meer2kat

it's pretty easy.

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy In pounds please

Nick

@JMoravitz I was too embarrassed to ask actually.

@ᴇʏᴇs Wouldn't you prefer dollars or euros?

meer2kat

@ᴇʏᴇs ~132

Nick

03:39

@JMoravitz silly thing, that :)

JMoravitz

@Nick I think kg's of gold is an appropriate unit of measurement

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy You should eat more

meer2kat

kg -> lb ~ 2.2 lbs/kg

Nick

@JMoravitz I prefer atomic mass units (12th of mass of C-12 in kg). Makes everything seem big.

meer2kat

perks of working at a place that ships nothing but boxes

@Nick true dat

JMoravitz

03:40

@Jasper How tall? I was 135lbs and 6foot2 for the longest time, only recently have I been gaining some more muscle (and weight)

According to the body-mass-index, I was medically under-weight

Now I'm just at the border to being considered as such

Nick

@JMoravitz and my bmi tells me I'm clinically obese, doesn't stop me from getting 1st place in a marathon.

@JMoravitz hey do you want to liposuction some fat out of me into you?

Jasper Loy

@JMoravitz 1.65 m.

JMoravitz

That joke has been made many times by my friends @nick

Nick

@JMoravitz ... :( I wish it were a joke.

lol :D

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy In feet and inches please

JMoravitz

03:44

5'5"

Jasper Loy

@ᴇʏᴇs Too hard for me.

Nick

Can everyone just settle on SI!?

meer2kat

@ᴇʏᴇs 1 m ~ 39 in

Nick

@meer2kat I frankly will not remember that

MKS is easier than FPS!

Jasper Loy

Do you know that people can die from liposuction?

meer2kat

03:45

@Nick how about 1 m ~ a little over a yard

Nick

@JasperLoy Yes, but he didn't need to know that...

JMoravitz

As I remember, average male height is 5'9" with a standard deviation of 3"

nope, apparently I'm wrong. 5'6" according to goofram

Nick

@meer2kat I'll just carry a log book with the necessary info. trumps memory.

meer2kat

@JMoravitz that's horribly sad

ᴇʏᴇs

@JMoravitz Really?

meer2kat

03:46

@Nick i suppose

JMoravitz

according to this chart, 5'6" with standard deviation 9"

ᴇʏᴇs

@JMoravitz I'm 5'6" and I feel like even most females are taller than me

meer2kat

@JMoravitz that's one heck of a SD

@ᴇʏᴇs you're taller than me. does that help at all?

JMoravitz

Well, I suppose this takes into account children

ᴇʏᴇs

Oh @JMoravitz That would change things I guess

JMoravitz

03:47

Thats better. wolframalpha.com/input/?i=average+adult+male+height

That matches the statistics I remembered hearing

Nick

I weigh $5.46319468 × 10^{28}$ atomic mass units and I'm $1.70180769 × 10^{-16}$ lightyears tall.

and I'm proud and satisfied with it :)

meer2kat

So I got bored last summer and made this stupid dating profile and had a contingency that I wouldn't answer any messages unless they could tell me how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood in cubic inches. Needless to say, I got some...interesting...answers.

Jasper Loy

@meer2kat You are still single?

David Wheeler

Dangit jasper don't be steppin wif my math chicas.

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy I am

meer2kat

03:51

@JasperLoy *single again. I dumped my bf. He wasn't worth my time. I'm seeing someone right now but we aren't exclusive.

@DavidWheeler lol you're so sassy

Jasper Loy

@meer2kat OK. I have been single my whole life, lol.

meer2kat

@JasperLoy Must be rough

Nick

@meer2kat A woodchuck would chuck as much wood in 1 cubic inch as the woodchuck would chuck in 0.000016387 cubic meters of wood.

David Wheeler

My sassiness hides a deep-seated in-wait, what am I saying? Nvm.

meer2kat

The answer, btw, according to woflram alpha is 22.085 in ^3.

@Nick yeah?

@DavidWheeler hahahaha :)

ᴇʏᴇs

03:53

@Nick Needs more significant figures

David Wheeler

Well, Jasper, JB is probably taken. Sorry to tell u, bro.

ᴇʏᴇs

@DavidWheeler Justin Bieber

Jasper Loy

@meer2kat Right now, I just want to get well and get on with life.

meer2kat

@JasperLoy That's a good plan!

Nick

@meer2kat no, as @ᴇʏᴇs points out, I'm imprecise.. unprecise... um, just not accurate enough, goshdammit.

Jasper Loy

03:55

@meer2kat It might never happen. There are many factors beyond my control. So you must pray for me.

David Wheeler

@JasperLoy Someday, though, you'll meet a wonderful girl, you can give her an emo haircut, and all will be well.

meer2kat

Actually laughed pretty hard at that one @dav

@JasperLoy of course!

David Wheeler

@JasperLoy have you started the meds yet?

Jasper Loy

@DavidWheeler Yes, I have.

David Wheeler

Are they doing any good? Do you feel better?

Jasper Loy

03:57

I feel less anxious, but that doesn't solve the problem of course, but the meds have done what they are supposed to do.

David Wheeler

WOOOOOOO! PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick

Well, Good Morning everyone. I have some Diem I have to Carpe! Multitasking can only give you so much quality. with that said, see you later and cheers, have merry life. Incase I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight :D

meer2kat

Well okay then

David Wheeler

Hasta la vista Nick

meer2kat

He says at midnight my time

Jasper Loy

03:58

It's noon here.

meer2kat

...Europe?

No

Nick

I haven't slept last night. so, for me, it's still yesterday.

Jasper Loy

@meer2kat Asia.

meer2kat

What part are you in of the world? Close to australia

Ahhh okay

Nick

Oh my gosh, it's almost 10 here

gtg

meer2kat

03:59

@Nick imagine trying to compensate for the time while working third shift. that's my life every day haha. sleep well

David Wheeler

Jasper lives in the land of chicken rice.

meer2kat

Excellent

David Wheeler

I can vote to close, now. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any of robjohn's stuff cross my plate.

meer2kat

what?

Jasper Loy

I will go and take a nap in an hour.

ᴇʏᴇs

04:03

I only got 1.2k rep

David Wheeler

@meer2kat robjohn is always grumbling stuff is being closed unfairly.

meer2kat

@DavidWheeler ah ok

Jasper Loy

Those people who tell me I don't want to help myself get well really hurt me.

ᴇʏᴇs

@meer2kat I think it's weird I've never heard that song once before, yet I know it's by Taylor Swift

Jasper Loy

Do you guys like this blue colour?

meer2kat

they told me i look like a troll and a barbie. haters gonna hate. push off the haters and they'll back off eventually.

@ᴇʏᴇs everyone needs to hear that song. and all taylor songs actually...

Jasper Loy

I think this blue is my favourite. It's called steelblue.

meer2kat

it's a nice blue

David Wheeler

Steel, like his resolve. blue, like his melancholy.

ᴇʏᴇs

Nice one @DavidWheeler

Jasper Loy

David's blue looks like mine.

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy I think his is more lighter

Jasper Loy

@ᴇʏᴇs Do you ever intend to get married?

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy Never thought about it

Jasper Loy

I often feel I don't belong to the place I live in. Once I am well I must try to go elsewhere.

I often get the feeling I was born into the wrong place by mistake.

i think a lot of people feel like that.

ᴇʏᴇs

@JasperLoy If I had a choice I would have preferred not to be born, but oh well

meer2kat

i sometimes feel like i'm at the wrong school or that the mistakes i've made are too big and can't be fixed, but they can be and i'll live on. we often feel like something is wrong and many people go their whole lives without realizing the blessings they have

David Wheeler

If one is alive-there are still more mistakes to be made! Don't look back.

Thanks smart alec

David Wheeler

Woo-hoo she thinks I'm smart! Wait, that wasn't a compliment, was it?

meer2kat

04:22

take it however you'd like :P

David Wheeler

I shall take it with dignity. And a lemon chaser.

meer2kat

Smart people are often the most sarcastic though I suppose. We're excellent at being witty and clever even when we don't mean to be.

David Wheeler

I don't know what's come over me.

ᴇʏᴇs

No wonder I'm never sarcastic

@DavidWheeler A regal integrity or a lot of alcohol

David Wheeler

04:25

I don't drink, or at least not very often. I abused my brain when I was young, and now I have to be careful with it.

meer2kat

A regal integrity it is.

Wait, dignity. Not integrity.

David Wheeler

Ya, I mght not be smooth enough to be integrable.

Is there a trick to calculating the sum of the divisors of something? or is this guy calculating this stuff so fast because fiction?

Jasper Loy

There is a formula if you know the prime factorisation.

meer2kat

what's the formula?

it's just something that has never interested in me so i've never looked in to it

Divisor function

In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function related to the divisors of an integer. When referred to as the divisor function, it counts the number of divisors of an integer. It appears in a number of remarkable identities, including relationships on the Riemann zeta function and the Eisenstein series of modular forms. Divisor functions were studied by Ramanujan, who gave a number of important congruences and identities; these are treated separately in the article Ramanujan's sum. A related function is the divisor summatory function, which, as the...

excellent! still strange that he could calculate it so quickly though; i guess the answer is yes there is a trick to it but also yes to "because fiction"

Jasper Loy

I am going to take a nap, bye.
