12:55 AM

@ton There are many thing I can explain, the characters, the story, etc but in the end I'm more like B type viewer. I can never like that kind of shounen anime

@hak not gonna run. My type of moderating are just limited to those with simply reaching 10k or 20k rep so why bother. And the blue diamond wouldn't look good on me anyway

1:11 AM

blue diamonds would look good on toushiro

he has 12 of those

so @Rikkin should nominate thyself

and become a mod on 12 sites

@Memor-X It is a large book, but that is why I compared it to unabridged dictionaries in the first place.

@Tonepoet never brought one so i don't know how they compare in side to a light novel

1:30 AM

@Memor-X 'tis time to get the measuring tape then.

@Tonepoet oh i can measure a light novel. already done that. not sure of the dimensions of an unabridged dictionary

you have LN?

@Darjeeling yeh. a few volumes of Spice and Wolf and Strawberry Panic Complete Novel Collection

oh I thought you would have more yuri LN

Strawberry Panic!

Strawberry Panic! (ストロベリー・パニック!, Sutoroberī Panikku!) is a series of Japanese illustrated short stories written by Sakurako Kimino, which focus on a group of teenage girls attending three affiliated all-girl schools on Astraea Hill. A common theme throughout the stories is the intimate lesbian relationships between the characters. The original artist was Chitose Maki, who was succeeded by Namuchi Takumi when production of the manga and light novels began. Following Strawberry Panic!'s first run in Dengeki G's Magazine it was six months before results began to indicate that the series was a success...

@Darjeeling it's 50% of my collection at the moment

1:45 AM

50% out of two :P

i would get more if i knew of any more light novels. at the moment most i know are manga or not translated

@Memor-X I know it's yuri

hmm, still haven't watch or read Spice and Wolf

2:08 AM

Here are some inexact measurements: Shugo Chara Volume 2 is a typical manga size, or more specifically it is eight inches tall, five inches wide and three quarters of an inch thick. The Spice and Wolf Omnibus is eleven and a quarter inches tall, nine and a quarter inches wide and two and a half inches thick. My copy of Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary Third Edition from the early '00s is 13 inches tall, 9 and a quarter inches wide, and three and a quarter inches thick.

I wanted to use my copy of the second edition from the 1950s as a basis, since I believe that's closer in size, but I can't find it now.

2:28 AM

@Darjeeling If you decide to pick it up, you'll probably want to read it because the series is still ongoing, which probably means the anime won't have a conclusive ending.

2:42 AM

it's from LN right? not a fan of LN tbh, I might read the manga tho

@Darjeeling Yeah, it's a light novel series. It's a highly acclaimed one though.

It seems like it's frequently commended for its in-depth economics.

yea but reading text only on monitor for hours hurt my eyes. That's always be a problem to me. I can't stop reading if it's interesting

My advice is to stop reading it on computer monitors. The trees may love you for it, but you're desecrating dinosaur corpses all the while, and you don't want to be cursed with the presence of a vengeful dinosaur's ghost.

@Darjeeling buy a kindle?

2:58 AM

@Gao Sadly, they haven't invented color e-ink.

Or, at least, I don't think they have anyway.

@Darjeeling some Visual Novels (ie. the ones i own) have got images in them but the ratio of image:text is way more text then it is for manga

Oh wow, they actually have, but I'm not sure if it's commercially available yet.

that being said Spice and Wolf does have a Manga series

3:22 AM

and back in 2010, too!

so why isn't it more popular?

manga adaptation from LN hardly ever popular

3:36 AM

@Gallifreyan OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

huh he's not here

@Darjeeling huh, didn't notice that

wait, is there ever a time we notice @Taisho being gone before we run a command

4:40 AM

I don't think I ever saw him leaving user list

@Darjeeling neither did i, then again i wasn't online for like 8 hours

1 hour later…

6:05 AM

@Avery OMG, those cheekbones ^_^

@Gallifreyan he's my fave doctor

I'm torn between Ecclestone, Smith, and Capaldi.

i prefer David myself

still got to wait until December to see who replaces Capaldi

@Memor-X You have invaded my Google Search results for video game imagery.

@Tonepoet oh that. that's my corrupted google research spreading like a virus infection

6:25 AM

@Memor-X There's a contrived sort of relationship: Christmas is a celebration of The Birth of Jesus and it's customary for people to hang mistletoe and kiss under it during that time of year for some reason.

I'm not sure how looking for this:

Led to that though.

Also, I'm not even quite sure why I wanted that image anymore.

6:39 AM

boop

@ToshinouKyouko beep

Bop it.

Toshinou Kyouko

don't bop me

@ToshinouKyouko i beeped you so i'm fine

I bopped an it, which strongly implies a nonperson target. >_>

6:43 AM

squish

Toshinou Kyouko

:)

how is everyone today

@ToshinouKyouko good. find out how to stop Selenium from timing out browser sessions after 30 minutes of being idle. totally not -Dwebdriver.server.session.timeout as what every answer i keep finding says

it was actually -timeout which i only found out by running the .jar file with -help

I'm sick :(

now i can use selenium to mass download stuff with captcha without worrying about the browser shutting down

@Darjeeling cold?

Toshinou Kyouko

@Darjeeling :<

@Memor-X :(

6:47 AM

@ToshinouKyouko why frown?

Toshinou Kyouko

annoying problem

@ToshinouKyouko ahhhh, yeh it was

@Memor-X Maybe Toushino isn't literally sick, but is trying to suggest dementedness and just doesn't want to say. =P

@Darjeeling More seriously though, what ails ya? I have a copy of "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies" I"ve had for quite a long time, and although they don't know how to use apostrophes, the tips are somewhat effective in alleviating symptoms.

cough, and a headache since this morning

I woke up today and feel terrible

@Darjeeling yeh sounds like a cold. headache should just last a day if you start treating it now but your cough will persist for a bit. i still have mine

probably @ToshinouKyouko's cold touring the world

Toshinou Kyouko

6:53 AM

I'm viral!

@Memor-X yea I already got my medicine this morning, want to rest at home but I have works to do

need to be a fully functional adult

well my work shift is almost end so I'm gonna go home soon

Toshinou Kyouko

seeya

There's no section for just a cough, and I don't know if you have the flu or a cold. There are some suggestions for headaches though. Most of them are predicated on the assumption that it's a contraction headache, rather than a migraine, and trying to relieve the tension. If you have a pencil, you can put it between your teeth without biting down on it. Wearing a headband might help because it decreases the flow of blood to the scalp and reduces throbbing. Breathing deeply can also help.

7:13 AM

A recommendation for the flu is gargling with salt water, because can help wash out irritating secretions in the throat. A concentration of one teaspoon of salt per pint of water because it simulates the ph values of body tissues, but don't swallow because it has too much sodium for that.

Sucking on lozenges can also keep the throat moist, and zinc lozenges in particular are recommended for the cold. Vitamin C also helps with headaches and the cold, but you probably already knew that.

7:50 AM

@Memor-X Yeah

Q: What are the different knightmare generations?

In Code Geass, those gigantic machines called Knightmare Frames evolve during the show. It starts with a mere robot that can only carry gun and it ends with flying machines, shields and the anime's equivalent of hydrogene bomb. So i was wondering, what are the different stages of Knightmares' ev...

Q: Who originally created the Knigthmare Frames?

Knightmare Frames are humanoid war machines developed by the Holy Britannian Empire and unveiled during the invasion of Japan. Is there any known scientist behind their creation, like Nina created Freyja ?

@Memor-X you know, jesus is not born in the conventional way!

@Memor-X squish squish

@Tonepoet all I need to do is take a nice nap and I feel better already. thanks for your concern :)

@Memor-X that's what they want you to think!

11:27 AM

which reminds me, didn't merlin cast a spell on saber so she could have children?

11:47 AM

how else she can have Mordred

12:12 PM

@Memor-X I dunno man, if Madoka, Haruhi or Belldandy are the one true goddess then it would have to be Yuri, wouldn't it? =P

12:38 PM

@Gao yes but the idea was to have them with Guinevere. Merlin didn't predict Morgana ~~getting her sister drunk~~ enchanting her sister

@Tonepoet true but we know that Madoka's baby would be shared with Homura and we know that Homura didn't go that far back in time

I am actually not so sure about that. By the end of the series Homura's stated to be Madoka's best friend, but earlier on it seems like Mami might've had a decent shot, and the one lewd scene in the series (not counting the opening sequence's lingere shot) is that of Sayaka groping Madoka's chest.

Q: When do "immortal" Devel Fruits respawn?

There is a question regardng to the respawn time of regular DFs but I am interested in the possibility of creating a immortal army using the same one- time DF namely the Ope Ope no Mi and the Yomi Yomi no Mi. The Ope Ope no Mi can perform the "Perennial Youth Operation" that kills the DF user an...

1:01 PM

There are also some other important considerations though. Obviously, if Christianity is a major influence in the Madoka universe, a magical girl is behind it since Kyubei postulates that every major development of mankind is due to the deals struck between Incubators and Magical Girls. Thus, Christianity would have developed as the result of Mary making a contract with an incubator.

@Tonepoet you mean at the start when Hitomi says it's forbidden?

anyway we see in Rebellion that touching reunion between Sayaka and Kyoko

@Memor-X I believe so.

and my head canon is that Mami ends up with that Office Lady she saved and they take Nagisa as their daughter

@Tonepoet not sure if Faust is in Christianity. Christianity isn't the first to have "The Devil" and in the tale about Faust the devil is called Mephistopheles

i think Mephistopheles is german folklore

I am not sure what that has to do with anything. I never said Christianity per-se is a strictly true religion in Madoka Magica.

@Tonepoet oh i thought you was talking about Christianity themes

as for Mary maybe she had a Wifey and made a contract with an Incubator for a baby

1:11 PM

I'm not sure if that's possible. There is reason to doubt it in fact. One of the things that had disheartened Sayaka is that magical girls are biologically dead, so they can't bear children.

Granted, perhaps the stipulations of a wish could override that.

1:28 PM

Madoka's wish seems to be the most likely to do that really, because she said she had essentially unlimited potential, and stipulated rewriting the rules if it was necessary to serve the purpose. What is more important is that Madoka wished to personally prevent the creation of every Witch ever,
and that magical girls had invariably turned into witches up until Madoka's time. Thus, Madoka has the ability to go into the past part of ever without depending upon Homura's control over time.

@Tonepoet well she wasn't so much going back in time but rather existing in every point in time simultaneously

like we don't really know how Madoka would perceive time since we perceive it linearly. even when we go back in time it's still linear

How Madoka perceives time is of little concern to me. What I know is that she was simply human like us once, so she didn't always exist in every point in time, suggesting that in order for her to exist in the past, at least part of her must have extended from her formerly mortal coil into the past. XP

If she was always a goddess since the dawn of all time, then things would be different, but that presents us with a conflicted plot, since the original timelines would not have occurred if Madoka could have helped it.

1:45 PM

@Tonepoet remember that Madoka does becomes a concept that existed since the creation of the universe after the universe had to be rebuilt for her new laws since there was a contradiction in the old universe regarding her own existance

Okay, then perhaps she merely went forward in time like everybody else.

yay! another mod candidate!

isn't there supposed to be an election tab or link on the main page? i don't see any

@Gao look on the right where the feature meta would be

@Tonepoet how do you mean like everyone else?

@Memor-X so it was like this in the previous election? weird

@Gao it's like that every election. the link for the election page shows up where site events show up

1:52 PM

@Memor-X First, the old universe is destroyed, then a new universe is created in its image so Madoka can be there from the beginning, and if Madoka was there since the beginning, all she would have had to do to exist in all relevant points in time is wait.

This is the same way we travel forward in time.

> Reading this before I got out of bed I had to dash into my games room to check out whether I can install a figurine..... I CAN! ..... but it's directly over a 120mm intake fan. I'll have to glue a Barbie effigy of Marilyn Monroe on top and figure out which games make my fan speed oscillate between minimum and maximum to blow up her skirt. Hmmm.... priorities. Bless you for getting your mind right and throwing conventional wisdom out the window, an i9 with a 1050 - bravo!

Q: What if Sasuke received Hashirama's cell arm from Tsunade?

So after the fight with Kaguya, Sasuke and Naruto battle and they both end up losing an arm. Naruto gets Hashirama's cells implanted into his arm so that he can grow a new one, but Sasuke refuses this service. If Sasuke did receive Hashirama's cells, then could it be possible for him to awaken th...

Q: Why are all the agency cyborgs female?

I just watched both seasons of the Gunslinger anime adaptation. I'm not sure if this is addressed in the show or the manga, but why are all the cyborgs female? I take it that they are kids because it's easier to condition them - are there any male cyborgs in the manga?

Q: Can a user be hurt by his own chakra?

In the Naruto world, is it possible to get hurt directly by your own chakra? For example, Naruto's rasengan is a manifestation of his chakra, so is Sasuke's chidori and Itachi's fire style jutsus. If Naruto were to accidentally hit himself with his own rasengan, would it affect him the same way i...
