5:01 PM
ok back -
7: It's not LAID BACK
 
2: It's not LAUGHABLE
 
(anyone withdrawing their contacts on 7?)
 
7: It's not LACONIC?
 
7: no
(didn't realize there were so many valid responses)
 
5:02 PM
laconic is a terrible fit, but ok hehe
 
2 was indeed LAUGHABLE
 
5, 7- it's not LAX ?
 
uncontact 7 until I think of something better (I was thinking LAID BACK)
 
5 no
 
5:03 PM
5,7 - it's not LACKADAISICAL ?
 
there are a lot of these, aren't there
 
5 yes
 
Sid
15. Abbreviation of Border between India and China
 
uncontact 7 as well, thought same as Gareth
 
5:04 PM
uncontact 7, I was thinking lackadaisical
 
ok then.
 
tentative contact 15
 
4: City of Angels
 
1: It's not LANGOSTE ? there is this sort of word I believe?
 
contact 4&5
 
5:06 PM
5: Shoulder bit
contact 4
 
contact 4
 
4: It's not ?? LOS ANGELES ?
 
4: Should I give it to you?
 
oh. LA
 
4: The answer is L.A.
 
5:06 PM
lol
 
1 is not LANGOSTE but you clearly have the right word in mind and I'll let you have it. (I was thinking LANGOUSTINE.)
 
ah, thank you.
 
in French there's also LANGOUSTE but I don't know that that's ever used in English
 
contact 5
 
5: It's not LAPEL
 
5:08 PM
5: nope
 
uncontact 5
 
any contacts on 3 or 9
 
tentative contact on 9
 
I have contact on 3 though I'm not at all sure it's right (since my proposed answer doesn't make any special use of the capital letters)
 
9 has a few
 
5:09 PM
9: it's not LANTERN perhaps
 
I forget whether I've declared contact on 9 but I have a plausible guess
... which was the same word Rubio just guessed
 
9 yessir
 
@GarethMcCaughan I already said I have no idea why I used allcaps
 
the capitalization on 3 was apparently not intended
 
ah, I think I misinterpreted your comment about the caps, then
 
5:10 PM
I'll pass on 3, I know precious little Latin and much of that is not liturgical
 
3 is almost certainly LAMB OF GOD
 
yes it is
 
is all this Latin fair?
 
I'd say no.
 
probably not, but that one at least seems like it should be
 
5:11 PM
I would say that based on Rubio's comment about Latin, we should refrain.
 
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
 
Rubio defending: L A C
 
There have been quite a few now.
 
OK, I'll refrain from making Latin clues to Rubio.
 
Agnus Dei is a familiar phrase to many people who don't speak Latin.
 
5:11 PM
^
 
Sid
15. lives to die another day..
 
(I'm not one of them, but I can see the point)
 
indeed, it's hard to see "Agnus Dei" as very unfair. But still.
 
I'd refrain from using an abundance of clues that involve other languages unless they are commonly known
 
5 dies, it was Labrum
 
5:12 PM
I've heard it many times, although I didn't know exactly what it translated to.
 
Well if 15 lived then I'm way off so uncontact
 
my 10 was LANDLER (or LAENDLER, there's an umlaut on the A), a German or possibly Austrian country dance
 
@n_palum well I thought "agnus dei" is commonly known
 
6 dies - LAV
 
1: _ intolerance
 
5:12 PM
contact 1
 
4: Cut
 
what's a LAV?
 
contact 1 @LeakyNun
 
2: Dearth
 
contact 1
 
5:12 PM
1: It's not LACTOSE
 
@LeakyNun That one isn't bad, just in general as a future head's up
 
contact 2 @GentlePurpleRain
 
3: It's not LACK
 
contact 2
 
@Rubio 1: nice
 
5:13 PM
4: It's not LACERATE
 
contact 4 @Sconibulus
 
There is no 3
 
(finally off these damn calls. hopefully should be fast again)
er LACK for 2
 
2: ✔
 
4: yes
 
5:13 PM
LAV = Light armored vehicle -> Amphibious capabilities etc
 
huh. never heard of that ;)
 
2. Quality of doilies
 
@LeakyNun Ah, I think I see how Agnus Dei means Lamb God
 
sorry, is 7 still up?
 
contact 2
 
5:13 PM
contact 2
 
2: It's not LACY
 
I was thinking LACINESS but I'll accept that
 
7 dies. It was LAISSEZ-FAIRE.
 
oh my
 
not quite the right part of speech
 
5:14 PM
Good word, wouldn't have occurred to me ever
 
@KritixiLithos DEI means "of God" (Genitive)
 
1. Spartan
 
@Gareth Why not? "His laissez-faire attitude" vs. "His easy-going attitude"
 
And agneau means "lamb" in French
 
2: Dull
 
5:15 PM
@LeakyNun like in "deity"
 
contact 2
 
4: Half-hearted
 
1: It's not LACONIC - better fit this time I think
 
@GentlePurpleRain hmmmm, I agree you can substitute the one for the other in that particular context. But for me "laissez-faire" is a noun and "easy-going" an adjective.
yup, 1 was LACONIC
 
2: It's not LACK WITTED
4: It's (still) not LACKADAISICAL
(I think laissez-faire as adjective is perfectly reasonable)
 
5:16 PM
@KritixiLithos indeed
 
2 I will say no
 
contact 2
 
I'm AFK for a while now. Have fun!
 
Interesting. I've never heard "laissez-faire" used as a noun. Only as an adjective.
 
ok then PASS on 2
 
5:18 PM
2: LACKLUSTER
 
Yes
 
and that's my word. ✔✔
 
That was 4 as well, although "dull" is probably a better definition.
 
I think seeing Laissez Faire as a noun has to do with it being a government form.
 
What was 15?
 
5:19 PM
not a clue :)
 
Sid
15 was LAC. (Line of actual control)
 
15 was "Abbreviation of Border between India and China". :P
 
Thanks, GPR. You're a godsend.
 
Anytime, Rubio. Anytime.
 
I learnt another word again.
 
5:20 PM
Which one, Leaky?
 
@GentlePurpleRain apparently many words start with "god"
 
Ah. "Godsend"
@LeakyNun Maybe a good choice for Contact, then... ?
 
I actually only know 3
the word "many" was a hyperbowl /s
who is going to defend?
 
Hyperbole. Pronounced "HI PER BOH LEE"
 
@GentlePurpleRain do you know what "/s" means?
 
5:23 PM
Nope. Apparently not.
 
it means sarcasm
 
Now I learned something new.
And I feel dumb. :)
 
HAI PURR BOW LEE
 
Hyperbowl: E
 
Godsend, godliness, godhood, godspeed, godlike ... add names and you get Godwin, Godiva, and i'm sure far more than I am thinking of
 
5:24 PM
apparently "hyperbole" is the epitomb of mispronunciations /s
 
@n_palum That might just pass as valid LOLCODE
 
@Rubio "godliness" and "godhood" and "godlike" doesn't count
 
@KritixiLithos What's that?
 
Now when I see hyperbole, I am going to think of a very very active tree
 
I actually pronounced "epitome" that way for years.
 
5:24 PM
@n_palum an esoteric programming language
 
Ah figured it was something from them
I don't get how you all think in those
 
PPCG has invaded this room
 
Do you write in an epitome with an epi-pen ?
 
To be fair I started on Puzzling before PPCG :P
 
5:26 PM
^ Me too, but I "left" Puzzling once I starting golfing
 
Like do you just go learn a bunch of Esolangs for fun
 
@n_palum yes
 
Pretty much
 
And it is fun
 
5:26 PM
Also making them
 
well, in PPCG we have golflangs that aim to write extremely short programs
where one character is one operation
 
@_@
 
Or sometimes one character can be many operations
 
yep, overloading
 
I'll leave that to you
 
Right now I'm making a language that I barely understand how to use :P
 
if nobody is defending, then I'll defend
 
They aren't languages that'll help do what I wanna do
I can defend momentarily.
 
@BusinessCat Malbolge MK II?
 
@n_palum what would you do? I'll try to write a program in Jelly
 
5:28 PM
I'm out for a while - happy contacting
 
I read that as MarioKart 2...
By the way, @n_palum, are you interested in prehistoric animals?
 
I'd say that prehistoric animals is unfair
 
Currently on a coop (paid internship) but I'm studying Game Design & Development
 
MK II is for Mark 2, the second version of military stuff
 
@n_palum Me too
 
5:30 PM
@n_palum well, just to show you the power of Jelly
 
@KritixiLithos I know a handful but it's not an active interest of mine, no
@BusinessCat Study or the work bit?
 
are unpaid internships so common now that we have a word to differentiate?
 
Ah, because I created a proposal on Area 51 called "Prehistoric Animals" (soon to be renamed to "Prehistoric Life")
 
also, are you interning somewhere game-related?
 
Both, sort of. My schooling is basically the normal comp sci courses but I also have 1 game dev class per year
 
5:31 PM
Coop stands for cooperative education, it's a little different and they're required by my school..
 
@n_palum I'm not seeing anything
 
@BusinessCat My courseload is very focused around Game design/dev
 
Yeah so it's not really the same then
 
@ffao Sadly no because I wanted to stay near school for the coop so I'm just doing Software Engineering work for the experience
 
I'm doing primarily CS
 
5:32 PM
ah, I see :(
 
Yeah no I don't do CS
 
@n_palum are you defending?
 
We do code and design and art etc etc
 
I have a friend who wanted to work in gamedev, but he has no idea how to get into any of those companies
 
Defending: R
@ffao It's really competitive..
 
5:34 PM
@n_palum do you have a familiar topic, e.g. language, physics, etc.?
1: not julliet
 
I have a pretty broad range of topics I am familiar with..
1 ROMEO
 
right
@n_palum could you list some examples?
 
What do you want to clue
My Latin is limited I can tell you that
 
@n_palum depending on what you list
 
Give me a topic and I can tell you if it'll be hard for me to work with
 
5:38 PM
what languages do you speak?
 
Computer or actual?
 
2: Feasible
 
2 REALISTIC(ALLY)
 
2: yes
 
3: Breathing
 
5:40 PM
3 RESPIRE
 
5: Variable Resistance switch

5:41 PM
Clue 1: ^
 
contact 1
 
5: yep think it's rheastat, but I'm not positive
 
Sid
Rheostat*
 
1 ROTATION?
Ahh that
 
5:42 PM
but it isn't a rotation matrix
 
Doesn't it rotate by 90 degrees clockwise?
 
I don't think so
 
@LeakyNun I obviously know English, I know a bit of Latin, my Spanish is probably rusty but I took that for 4 years.. I also know American Sign Language but I doubt you can clue that easily
 
1: synonym of repeat
2: synonym of repeat
@n_palum I don't know ASL at all
 
Sid
@kritixi Nope. You have made a slight error.
 
5:44 PM
Eh I got it, they tried
 
Oh, I see...
It reflects it instead
 
ASL is huge at my school since we are one of the biggest deaf supporting universities in US so I'm minoring in it now
6 RUE MORGE? @Sconibulus
 
Sid
@n_palum Pedantry!! You are in puzzling. You have to be a pedant. :P
 
this is Puzzling, not Mathematics
 
^
1/2: RESTATE, RECAP, REITERATE @LeakyNun
 
5:45 PM
6: yep
 
@n_palum REITERATE is correct, but you're missing another one.
 
1/2 RECITE/REGURGITATE
 
REGURGITATE it is
 
There are really a lot that fit that
 
Sid
14. They are blue but not due to Puzzling.
 
5:46 PM
I'm sorry for that
 
It's fine, just broad clues are meh
14 RIDDLES?
 
Sid
