The Awkward Silence

4:54 AM

@CaptainBohemian hello

Captain Bohemian

@Tinkeringbell well, I feel his posts are mainly to show he is a romantic and sentimental man in that he can be sad for so long after being jilted by girlfriend. That's not usual for a man, particularly a scientific man. And scientists really can't afford that.

@JalapenoNachos what's up?

@CaptainBohemian nothing much - just chillin :)

Captain Bohemian

@JalapenoNachos it's not chilly at all here. I waked up due to being too hot.

5:15 AM

@CaptainBohemian no AC?

5:33 AM

hi @LinuxBlanket :)

Hello @JalapenoNachos! What's up?

nuttin much @LinuxBlanket just chillin :)

Oh to all that celebrate today: happy 15th of August!

Buon Ferragosto!

@JalapenoNachos do you celebrate it?

5:51 AM

huh?

what is it?

a holiday?

Yes, it's the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, or the perfect excuse to go to the beach

yay! @LinuxBlanket :)

have fun at the beach :)

Not many people actually care of the real meaning of the holiday, which was started by Augustus even before Jesus was born to begin with

@LinuxBlanket interesting

@LinuxBlanket are you Catholic or christian?

Nah, but my family is

My grandmas will go to church today :)

6:00 AM

@LinuxBlanket nice :)

Are you on holiday?

@Tinkeringbell and he never posts his life in NASA. All he posted is his science-irrelevant life.

and I found posting negative things in Facebook, like your trouble or distress, isn't really helpful; few people would respond to them. Nobody will find ways to help you. Only when you post your prosperity, a ton of people congratulate you.

so I think the purpose that he posted his sadness is mainly to show he is a romantic man.

also, when you post science issues, there wouldn't be many responses. Only when you post the pictures of personal prosperity, you get the most responses.

But I don't like to show prosperity to general people on web I don't personally know because I don't feel the point of doing that.

I dont think that this will stay open, so I only leave a comment: yes, speaking to a councelor is a very good idea, if the situation already is this harmful for your health! — Lot 43 secs ago

An English teacher working in Russia notices that their student has adequate speaking and listening skills for their level, but really struggles when it comes to writing and reading, both in English and in the student's first language. How can the said teacher politely tell the student that they...

oh, ahaha

2:53 PM

i have now submitted my answer but im 100% its wrong

I'm sure my guess for the suffix is wrong, and I suspect the infix part is wrong too

and for the prefix, well, D3f4u1t's answer there makes sense to me too but i think mine could be right

doppelgreener

"math" "path" [australian eyetwitch] those are completely different sounds!

(also psyche/dislike)

Haha yeah i spotted the psyche/disliky too

But math path?

doppelgreener

In British/Australian English, "path" has an "a" as in the vowel sound in "rough"

In Which one is the a pronounced as in 'man' in australian english?

Ah ok

or it is a new version of spam that is way more discrete and actually asks a question. (off-topic, but still)

@SmokeDetector This is basically why I chose Simpsons-yellow as my default skin color for emojis.

There is a feature in Slack called emoji reactions. It allows users to respond to any message on Slack with an emoji reaction. Also, you can choose a skin tone for your emojis: If you do, this will turn into that If multiple people with different skin tones selected react to the same mes...

Not gonna lie, I would break up with you if I were her, even with the understanding that you don't cheat. If I can't trust you to be honest about something so innocuous then how can I trust you about more important things? — Kyle Delaney 53 secs ago

Just a side note on the "no governmental support due to wealthy partner" part: is it possible that she finds this unfair because it makes her realise how much her current life depends on him (definitely economically maybe also in other aspects)? She might fear to lose him or secretly doubting whether he's Mr Right out think she's a burden to him or similar. Have you ever asked her, why she wants gov. support?

roommates strangers housemates

Interesting question.

@Tinkeringbell I want to hear about the jellyfish

7:59 PM

@ElizB I've studies quantum physics. That's much stranger than the person in that question

El'endia Starman

@RichardU When I read this, I initially expected that you would say the person was much stranger. Which would've also been funnier, but alas.

(And I'm aware that quantum physics is one of those things where if you think you understand it, you don't.)

@El'endiaStarman When you've met a few quantum phsyicists saying that we're all made of energy and the universe doesn't really exist....

El'endia Starman

Oooh, you have a point there...

Tinkeringbell

@Mithrandir Hahaha. They are cool :D

Some can cause excruciating pain, others travel in groups big enough to wreck with infrastructure

Also, most jellyfish are a pretty invasive species, first to conquer so called 'dead zones' in the ocean ;)

and they are delicious with peanutbutter

Random thought of the day: They don't make cars like they auto.
