Good morning

Good morning :)

@SimplyBeautifulArt what you up to today?

Hello @user21820

@shredalert: Hello!

Oops just noticed your message..

@user21820 Hope your research is going well. :)

Thanks!

Some parts seem to be going well. Other parts seem to be stuck as usual.

Haha..

Well, that's the way it goes I guess. Haha

It's Risksearch..

pretty apt name lol

@shredalert recruiting people to do large numbers

@SimplyBeautifulArt just assignment mode here. Perhaps some logic in the evening.

Nice

@SimplyBeautifulArt and a Good morning to you!

@amWhy Good morning!

@SimplyBeautifulArt How be u!

Be how I?

Hm...

patient

but losing patience

perhaps silently stressed

@SimplyBeautifulArt With your PAIN?

@SimplyBeautifulArt Yikes: Answer in meta.mse

@amWhy mmm... That and I want to ask a friend, er, um, you know

@amWhy yeah....

@SimplyBeautifulArt er, um, I know...then...I guess I do know, keep me posted, here and there!

He..hehe... Um, okay

*awkward moment for me*

:-( I feel like my romance life has sucked so far

The first was gay, so was the second. The third was asexual, and not really into relationships. The fourth said "no, college comes first", and now... well, I'll find out

:-( I wish I wasn't the type to have such nerdy non-straight friends

:'-(

I mean, maybe I'll come back to the fourth

:-) she drew a flower on my arm today. Having people draw on me is kinda fun

@amWhy how does one lose two rep from user removed? How did they up vote me like 0.5 times?

Poor Robjohn

@SimplyBeautifulArt If you earned 2 points early on for editing a question, and that question is subsequently removed, those two points you earned are gone too. Crazy, I know, but upon removal, it's like the question never existed, so upvotes for the question go away, rep from answering the question go away, rep from editing the question goes away. Some times you may gain 2 rep points, when someone who may have downvoted one of your questions leaves the site.

I can explain the gain of one rep point (an answer you downvoted was removed, so you get you point rep back. The only way I know to lose exactly 1 rep is by downvoting an answer.

@SimplyBeautifulArt Do you have a delete vote to spare on meta?. There are currently 2 delete votes on it, and eight downvotes earned, and I've flagged a mod... But the sooner its deleted, the better.

Ah lol

@amWhy yeah...lol

@SimplyBeautifulArt All gone!! Whew!

@SimplyBeautifulArt It'll happen when you least expect it. :P

Haha, its not the type of stuff to expect in my opinion

You'll see what I mean lol

Oh, okay

I'll come back in a few years with a response :P

日 天 中 国 九 明 口 大 小 月 十 地 金 火 水 木 百 七 Hehe, random chinese characters

我有许多个朋友。

:D So that's how I speak chinese on the internet

Wouldn't be able to tell the difference because I don't know Chinese lol

:P

@SimplyBeautifulArt logic time hehe

Okay :-) @shredalert

@SimplyBeautifulArt Where did you find a Chinese keyboard? I know I've long wished I had a keyboard for many of the Romance languages, but it'd be assume to have access to chinese characters, too, not just "get arounds".

@SimplyBeautifulArt Okay, then...I'll wait...but I agree with shredalert: "It'll happen when you least expect it"! (exclamation point mine).

Sorry, my second to last comment suffers from some sort of grammatical error!

(errrr...the comment at the top of this commenting block)

@amWhy Could I get some advice on what to read after a basic first course in logic?

@shredalert Remind me which text you've used for a first course in logic? Author? You've gotten through the first? Awesome. Have you been working out exercises too?

I've not got through it yet, I just know I'm enjoying it a lot and am willing to go further after this book.

I'm studying from Sweet Reason by Henle, Garfield, and Tymoczko

I'm doing exercises as I go along too

@amWhy I like computers and algebra too, would type theory be suitable topic aligning with those interests?

Let me think on it... as far as a text to align with your interests. (I've always loved logic, and I'm more of an algebra person than an analysis person, so I can relate.) I'm also looking over your current text, to see what you will have covered when you are close to finishing.

@amWhy Thank you for taking the time to look into it. :)

@shredalert My pleasure.

purpleculture.net/online-chinese-input

@amWhy

type in the pinyin no caps

then hit 1,2,3,4.... for the character

Alas...I be pinged!

@SimplyBeautifulArt Awesome!! Thanks!

@amWhy I should also probably say that I am interested in the relationship between natural language and logic, and trying to capture the "meaning" of natural language in logic.

@amWhy 你回说中文吗？

@SimplyBeautifulArt Sure, yeah...maybe not....I'm not sure....ask me later!

lol, okay

I hope everyone's exams are going well.

I'm sure we've lost a few members of our group to them, temporarily.

I missed 4 questions out of 35 on practice physics exam

:P Try not to lose me

I got 2 marks short of a perfect score on my statics assignment

arithmetic errors lol

lol, same

surprised I got 85% on my moludar arithmetic assignment. I basically looked at the definitions and proofs and just computed through it. xD

On one of the questions I worked everything out but didn't choose any answers xD

I did that in a mock test once

back in highschool

good thing it was only a mock lol, the question was worth about 15% of the paper

I'm not too fussed as long as I understand the concepts

lol

yeah

I got a B in one of my A-level modules for maths and was off an A by 2 or 3 marks. My teacher told me to resit it. No way in hell was I going to spend all that time over again for a few silly marks. lol

Anyone have any info about why The Duck was suspended? I'm sure it's none of our business, and I can accept that...

What's "The Duck"?

Shorthand for "The Great......."

@TheGreatDuck

Ah, a user of the site.

Anyway, when "he" comes back, he can tell us what happened, if he wants to. But it still leaves me wondering, until then!

Why do these horizontal lines (made of ..........................................) separating some comments from others, occur on chats. Is it to show comments grouped according to the time they're posted? Hmmmm....

................................................................................‌​.......................................................

Artificial lines of ....

and I honestly got no idea

@SimplyBeautifulArt I guess sometimes I waste my mental energies contemplating such questions! 8-)

Same

:P I spend a good few hours trying to count to 1 million

If anyone would like fantasy book recommendations, ask me. :P

@shredalert Have you read any of the works of Ursula LeGuin?

@shredalert better not be lotr

and I gotta run, cya guys (and gals) !

@SimplyBeautifulArt cya

Good bye!

@amWhy What kind of novels does (s)he write?

Fantansy, mainly, and she's a she. I was drawn to her work after reading a story she wrote "The One's who walk away from Omelas". But at this point in time she's not at all young. But since you like J.R. Tolkien, I though you might prehaps, have run into one or another of her works.

I started reading fantasy only just over 2 years ago

So I'm mostly acquainted with Robin Hobb's novels (read 13 of them so far got 3 more to go)

and the rest I read when I was in school, apart from Mark Twain, I read that on my own.

I haven't been reading anything besides math textbooks but lately I've picked up this

airgear.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Gear_Wiki

I just looked at The Dispossessed, it sounds like an amazing story. I'll get a copy off ebay.

@Zophikel I remember watching an anime of that 6 or 7 years ago :D

@shredalert the i'm going to start reading the Manga again

@shredalert Awesome! It's a great book, and the first full book I read of LeGuin!

@shredalert I wondor if there's an anime with anything math related

@amWhy I've never really read science fiction before, so this will be a first.

@Zophikel Can't think of any atm.

@shredalert animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2015/spring/…

In Ultimate Otaku Teacher the main character used to be a theoretical physics prodigy

@amWhy Ordered a used copy of The Dispossessed off ebay. Should be here in a couple days. Look forward to reading it! :D

@Zophikel The title reminds me of Great Teacher Onizuka. That was hilarious. And, damn! It's been almost 7 years since I watched that! O:

@shredalert oh wow

@Zophikel The TV run of GTO came out in 98, so it might be as old as you, if not older. :P

I believe I watched it in 2009/10

@shredalert everyone calls me L in my school

@Zophikel Do you eat enough sugar to make an elephant diabetic? :P

Anyway, I'm going to head off for the night. Take care and goodnight all.

see ya @shredalert

Hm, when did anime start....

Good night @shredalert

@shredalert Ohhhh? Then I'll need to introduce you to Mr Ray Bradbury...who some consider the Father of science fiction/fantasy.... Whatever one's genre of preference, many of his writings are classic.
