@ChristianHupfer <3

@PauloCereda kittens are fixed points only while asleep.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen ooh recursive kittens

@PauloCereda Looks like ice-cream wafers to me :D

@ChristianHupfer E>

Why are we talking about cats now? I think that we should talk more about axolotls. I mean they are freaking real-world Pokemon (who know only one attack which is Rest).

Where can I download the old ghostscript 9.22 32 bit? The newest one 9.23 32 bit is not compatible with dvisvgm 32 bit.

@Skillmon IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE

<3

@Skillmon: I still have this:

Typeset with XeLaTeX. :)

@PauloCereda I sometimes still play it on my mobile :)

@Skillmon Go?

@PauloCereda @Skillmon: I am too old for Pokemon, apparently ;-)

@PauloCereda emulated red

I have Y on my 3DS. :)

@Skillmon ooh Red is awesome.

Check out FireRed which is the remake of Red.

@PauloCereda there are only 151 catchable Pokemon (plus Ho-oh)

@Skillmon And no Mew under the truck! :)

@PauloCereda Mew is very catchable in Red

@PauloCereda aren't the Pokemon not the same as the Teletubbies? ;-)

@ChristianHupfer I think you misunderstood something.

@Skillmon In Red?! I don't remember. I know MewTwo is.

@PauloCereda This remind me veículo longo seen on a Portoguese articulated lorry :):):)

@ChristianHupfer :D

@Skillmon No... I just wanted to annoy you :D

@CarLaTeX oh that one too. :)

@ChristianHupfer you naughty German

@PauloCereda it is by bug exploiting (but without any cheats)

@ChristianHupfer didn't work out

@Skillmon Interesting! I didn't know about it!

@Skillmon I should mention the war then (@PauloCereda ;-))

@PauloCereda you can in fact catch as many as you can buy Pokeballs when you're in Misty's arena.

@ChristianHupfer and do the funny walk!

@HaraldHanche-Olsen: See which box of Pandora you opened: Now the chat is full of looneys Pokemon addicts ;-)

@Skillmon hm it's the second gym

@PauloCereda Eva Prawn Cocktail ... ;-)

@ChristianHupfer LOL

@ChristianHupfer Du bist nicht der einzige, der keine Ahnung hat, wovon sie reden

@DavidCarlisle :D

@DavidCarlisle A few weeks ago, your German was better. What happened? Too much pineapple on your pizza?

@marmot Die Ananas auf den Pizza.

@marmot Ich habe ein unfehlbares Orakel für deutsche Übersetzungen.

@PauloCereda Die Ananas auf der Pizza.

@DavidCarlisle oh

@DavidCarlisle :)

@PauloCereda you will never reach your target if you omit o like that

@PauloCereda I did google to find out how you were supposed to know the gender of these things, it seems to be a faq and I found a really helpful page that explained how

@DavidCarlisle ooh

@DavidCarlisle, @PauloCereda: German is a very logical language. Nouns that refer to thingies are of neutral gender.... das Haus, das Auto, die Leiter ... ok, forget what I said ;-)

Das Kind

@PauloCereda I can't find the page now but basically the advice was "you need to know the gender of every noun that you use"

Das Potato

@DavidCarlisle LOL

@DavidCarlisle But why does your glorious oracle mess up singular vs. plural?

@PauloCereda die Kartoffel...

@marmot it's an insignificant detail that such beings do not concern themseleves with

@ChristianHupfer No, I think you got it wrong. Everything that is super cute goes neutral. Das Kätzchen, das Vögelchen, das Murmeltier.

@ChristianHupfer And for some reason it's die Ente...

@DavidCarlisle I'd rather believe that you do not feed your oracle well.

@marmot Cute is not the word that I associated to Murmeltier :-P

@ChristianHupfer Probably you never saw one.

@marmot Aren't those marmots those animals with a long nose and wrinkled skin in the face, eating ants? @PauloCereda ;-)

@PauloCereda: I want to become a Marmot Taimer ... I have a hat with 'Marmot Taimer' on it ...

@ChristianHupfer I once saw one in front of me and oh boy that bloke is huge!

ooh the velociraptor arrived

Ah just in time, I remember Mark Twain writing about German

@DavidCarlisle Here: en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:1880._A_Tramp_Abroad.djvu/627 (“a tree is male, its buds are female, its leaves are neuter”… continues on the next page)

@ShreevatsaR Mark Twain stayed in a hotel in Black Forest about 15 km from my living place ;-) as well as did Ernest Hemingway, but in another hotel, where he argued with the landlord (this is story is even written on sign post there) :D

Ah, you're practically neighbours! (across time…)

@ShreevatsaR Well, our space time world lines did not cross, however ;-)

But it is sad: Young people in Germany neither know Samuel Clemence nor Hemingway

@ShreevatsaR Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of his Atlantic with his verb in his mouth. (A Connecticut Yankee at King's Arthur Court).

Mekkamuselmannenmassenmenchenmoerdermohrenmuttermarmormonumentenmacher!

@egreg wow

@PauloCereda this one should have been an "ooh"

btw, please don't call me crazy for being at work at almost 11pm...

@PauloCereda Nihilistendynamittheaterkaestchenssprengungsattentaetsversuchungen!

@yo' ooh

@egreg ooh

@yo' ^^ :)

@yo' Tom, don't stay too late. <3

@PauloCereda Remember the \penalty10000

@PauloCereda well, I arrived at 1pm, so to be fair, it's quite fair.

@egreg Haha! Also Douglas Hofstadter: The proverbial German phenomenon of the “verb-at-the-end”, about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic pushing and popping.

@ChristianHupfer No, those are anteaters. Very popular at my university.

@egreg There are some political incorrect words in that monster of a German 'word' ...

@marmot Oh damn, I seem to have confused anteaters with marmots for about 40 years now ;-) There is no movie called 'Anteater Day' with Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, I assume?

@ChristianHupfer Blame Mark Twain. :-)

@PauloCereda I hate it when I get so much into the flow this late at night :-(

3 out of 3, and of those three only one is sleeping and stopped :(

@Skillmon not your happiest evening

@DavidCarlisle one could say that.

Ok, seems I got the mathematical result I was looking for, so it's time to go home :-)

@ChristianHupfer Der Ameisenbär does not come with a das.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- except for the car, you had a better outcome than i did. on december 23 i had an argument with an icy sidewalk and lost. i got a new hip for christmas. it was so slick that the rescue team who came to pick me up had to apply ice melt and other stuff before it was safe for them to come close. moral: don't argue with icy patches. (and my condolences to the car.)
