Q: due to A, something happens, else says sorry, how should A reply?

JJJohnBecause of Sunny's connection/computer issues, Sunny can't hear the class. So the teacher, an American girl says Sorry Sunny. You weren't able to hear me, but I had to keep the class going. and then Sunny replies no problem. Is sunny's response appropriate?

Q: Meeting new people and telling them my field of work X and they say they could never understand X or hated X in school?

Jagerber48I'm a graduate student in physics. When meeting new people (mutual acquaintances, workout groups, meeting random people while out and about), eventually the question is often asked: what do you do? I typically tell people that I am a graduate student and if they ask for more specifics I either t...

Morning! :D
 
7:02 AM
Morning!
 
Everyone had a good/great/lousy weekend? :P
 
7:21 AM
Yep :P
You?
Uh, chrome updated its UI
 
Long weekend (since Thursday). It was mostly okay.
 
8:03 AM
This still seems like a "what should I do". They never responded to the part of my comment about a goal.
 
@Tinkeringbell good :)
 
@Mithical interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/25650/1599 Could use some eyes too...
 
8:29 AM
Pretty much all of the queues could use a peek, TBH
 
@Mithical I'm glad you took one. It seems people have deserted us a little :(
COVID is putting a strain on everyone's time and availability to hang around, it seems ;)
 
@Tinkeringbell and general spoons
 
Spoons are sorta included in availability ;)
 
I guess :D
 
@Mithical interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/25645/1599 I don't think this is in any queue yet, but since you're here... please look?
 
8:39 AM
your comment seems fine, we also need culture / location and ages
 
@JourneymanGeek I feel like I'm a weirdo though. A lot of people keep saying they don't have spoons for X or Y anymore because of covid... I feel like I've saved up several cutlery drawers of spoons for when I need them... like Catija's pic on Twitter :P
 
lol
Not always directly cause of covid, but sometimes you could do stuff, and don't :D
 
@Mithical Managed to edit that in, thanks! :)
 
/me has a few computery projects blocked cause I just haven't... well done them...
and lol
Not been doing that many review queues cause... uh...
they're boring? :D
 
Oh, that's probably true ;)
I should finish crochet projects but I don't feel like that either.
I've been playing waaaay too much Animal Crossing :|
 
8:43 AM
lol
I've not been gaming much.
 
I've been losing a lot of chess games, does that count?
 
I need to back up and rebuild my router :D
 
Games are games, whether you win or lose ;)
 
and once that's done, order and build a new.. "linux livecd download box"
 
I still need a new case fan.
 
8:45 AM
oh god
 
I should order that this week.
 
there's this younger lass who's kinda geeky... and her PSU died...
 
Oh, I should also pay the floor of my new apartment.
I mean, there's plenty of I should's here too XD
 
She managed to get one delivered in a day, installed it... did something silly, and managed to fix it...
she's more efficient than I have been all week :D
... pay the floor?
 
Yeah...
 
8:47 AM
pay for?
 
They're building the apartment and sending bills for e.g. when the hole is dug, the floor is built, and the walls are done...
 
ahhhhhh
 
Basically I'm paying in terms, but their weirdly related to how fast the building goes instead of e.g. monthly ;)
 
ya, strange..
 
9:26 AM
Got another one for you. Man, 51, ignored the railway crossing guards which were fully down, crosses anyway, gets hit by train and dies. News, today: "It was an unfortunate accident".

EXCUSE ME, YOU DON'T IGNORE THOSE GUARDS BY ACCIDENT!
It was a logical conclusion, perhaps.
 
"play stupid games, win stupid prizes"?
 
Burn your ass, sit on blisters.
But yeah, the prize in this case being a Darwin Award, I guess. Though I assume a 51 year old already procreated at that age, so the award is kinda useless.

Q: Are there many per capitas?

Mawg says reinstate MonicaPolitico quotes Donald Trump : Just this past week, Trump reveled in a mental list he has been keeping of how many tests the U.S. has conducted, approaching 14 million, in comparison with other countries — Germany at 3 million, Italy at 3 million. That list, like so many others, is designed t...

I take issue with everything that comes out of that mind
"Per capita relative to what" LOL
IPS question probably
 
@M.A.R. I think there may be some extra heads at Area51?
So then you have to think about per head, per person (are aliens persons?)...
Can be confusing, especially if you're Trump!
 
@Tinkeringbell I'm now almost sure he sees things
Like, he sees Pelosi as having three heads and that explains his aversion
 
@M.A.R. I don't know if double vision is a known side effect of hydroxychloroquine.
 
I think Trump is a side effect for hydroxychloroquine but YMMV.
 
9:52 AM
Or it could be the bleach he injected
 
I don't know anymore. He's both laughing stock and a dangerous fool over here, that's all I know.
 
If you tell him drugs have side effects and he shouldn't, he'd give a press release calling it a toxin, deterring COVID patients from taking it
 
The problem is that you can tell him a lot, but only he decides what direction that info goes in eventually, it seems.
drugs has side effect "but it may work? We should investigate that"...
You're investigating that too, right?
 
@Tinkeringbell Nah, a few years before I become a full-fledged researcher
If you ever see me talk like "ROBOTS CANNOT LOVE" then I have become an academic researcher
 
10:09 AM
Hehehe
@M.A.R. Define love before you make such statements ;)
 
LOVE IS CERTAIN ENDOCRINES CONSIDERED FAVORABLE BY HOMOSAPIENS AND PRODUCING MOSTLY PREDICTABLE (P=0.49) BUT CONTROLLABLE RESULTS.
 
I like that definition :)
Means it can be fixed ;)

Binge-watch and sleep too!
> We surveyed 1032 respondents in the United States between the ages of 18 and 79 on Sleep and Netflix routines. 74.98% of Netflix users don't have enough time to get at least 7 hours of sleep every day.
:o
hides my average sleeping hours of 6h30 without watching netflix
 
@CaldeiraG To be honest, you don't even need to be a binge-watcher for that. On my old schedule, the one that included travelling to and from an office... I could just about squeeze in a single 45-50 minute episode between dinner and washing my hair if I wanted to sleep 7 hours.
If I wanted to watch a movie I'd had to do it in two parts or save it for the weekend.
 
@Tinkeringbell true that
i have plenty of time to watch atleast 3 episodes?
 
My average right now is about 7h30 of sleep each night... I'm still not at 8 and I keep wondering if I want to work further towards that or keep it this way so that the shock of going back to the old schedule won't be too big later.
(that's actual sleep, not time just lying around in a bed :P)
@CaldeiraG Right now, I can't remember the last time I turned on Netflix... I watched a few episodes of Star Trek weeks ago... but lately it's all been time on my Switch.
 
@Tinkeringbell :P usually take 10min from lying on bed to sleeping :P
 
@CaldeiraG I seem to take a lot more lately... at least 30, sometimes 60.
Perhaps I'm not tired enough? ;)
 
1:12 PM
My dad opted to stick with netflix after the free trial, i don't even have a profile there xD
@Tinkeringbell possibly XD
 
1:23 PM
@CaldeiraG If that's the case I should stay up longer and play even more animal crossing XD
 
2:01 PM
@Tinkeringbell Good idea :P
Postal office screwing me again
 
Waiting for a package again?
 
Remember that service that is supposed to be better @Tinkeringbell? Guess what, they tried to deliver my package right at 9:30am when my dad was off to the supermarket

Q: Fair to ask housemate’s partners to contribute toward bills during pandemic?

Theo FI share a 5 bedroom house with 4 others. We all get on and they are nice people. As the Coronavirus spread in the UK I was put on furlough by my company and decided to go live at my parents (I moved just before lockdown was announced in March). There is more space down here in contrast to my of...

 
Normal delivery time is midday
Today they felt like going at 9am
My dad is been home since 10am ever since
:\
 
That's... sad but not unexpected?

Q: How to be persistent but not annoying when dealing with property manager

user29716Ok this is the kind of situation I always seem to mess up and I'm trying not to do it again. I'm trying to get my property manager to move me (total household = me + minor child) from a 1 bedroom unit to a 2 bedroom unit. I actually thought this would be a simple request but it's not happening a...

 
@Tinkeringbell it's boring XD
I would prefer picking it up tomorrow at the post office rather than them trying again for 2 more times
 
Yeah, that's true.
Well, only if the delivery will fail for the next two attempts ;) Otherwise you'll be having your package tomorrow anyways XD
 
2:47 PM
yay :P
let's see
</rant>

@CaldeiraG Wow that's your rant?
Could you please take up the position of writing meta rants? I think meta folks would award you a couple grand for that, at least.

Q: how to tell my friends to format all our past conversations/ and trust me from now on

shoelaceI am 21 years of age and I've been a stupid teller of lies in my past . I've almost never lied in situations where it can be hurtful or destructive. I usually have had spun yarns about past life experiences. Initially, I did it to inspire people with my imaginary stories in which story characters...

 
7:57 PM
@M.A.R. sure thing :P
