Q: Please synonymize [scope] into [allowed-topics]

There are over 50 allowed-topics questions on Meta, and it even states in the excerpt that it is for discussing about which topics are permitted / in scope on this site. In comparison, scope covers the exact same field (and is therefore synonymous), with far fewer questions (only 4). Please syno...

I remember watching a streaming movie once with a friend

I only shared the link to my home stream just to test if it works

we ended up watching it and making lame jokes throughout the whole movie

in steam chat

movie was The Fault In Our Stars

not a very good movie but it doesn't take much to have fun with friends

JNat

@Unihedron Were there more scope questions there than off-topic?

Unihedron

@JNat Yes, which is why I proposed that direction. On here, it's different.

JNat

10:56 AM

Gotcha, that's what I was trying to figure out

Unihedron

And it's perfectly fine because [scope] is a default tag and merging it to a more popularly used one helps define tags. :p

@Hakase i've read the novel version of it

Hakase

oh there was a novel

just like in anime/manga world :D

Unihedron

Yeah and the direction is similar :D

novels gets turned into movies, light novels gets turned into anime and manga

I saw a text in a background on my computer and wanted to see if I could translate it into Japanese, succeeded on the first try, then i continued and after some random typing I noticed something.

Now I am probably missing some basic rule, but... wo or ni, I should read up more on the particles, I guess, but are wo and ni sort of the same?

Hakase

11:12 AM

Japanese particles

Japanese particles, joshi (助詞) or teniwoha (てにをは), are suffixes or short words in Japanese grammar that immediately follow the modified noun, verb, adjective, or sentence. Their grammatical range can indicate various meanings and functions, such as speaker affect and assertiveness. == Orthography and diction == Japanese particles are written in hiragana in modern Japanese, though some of them also have kanji forms (弖 or 天 for te て; 爾 for ni に; 乎 or 遠 for o を; and 波 for wa は). Particles follow the same rules of phonetic transcription as all Japanese words, with the exception of は (written ...

Asada Shino

I'm working atm, was on a small break so I thought I'd play around a bit with google translate. I'll read up on it more when I get off work :P

Hakase

I don't see wo anywhere

oh it's just "o"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_particles#o this

Asada Shino

を is 'written' as wo, but pronounced as o in most dialects

since "o" is お

I should have written "o", I guess, my bad

Like how you write "wa" instead of "ha" for は

Hakase

I disagree with how wikipedia and others handle this

Asada Shino

Pronunciation instead of western spelling

Hakase

imo it should be transliterated as wo

Q: Can we please stop polling in meta?

This is a trend I've noticed that's been going on for quite a while.

Ask your question, and let people come up with their ideas. Don't create ...

@AnkitSharma I can't speak for anime.SE but we're already waiting for the artwork before graduating, and there are existing problems like id-reqs to solve before we mine the traffic sources :p

it's a feature we decided to provide although it's not exactly what SE is supposed to be about

$2000 a month isn't even that much.

Blog - Stack Exchange: The 7 Essential Meta Questions of Every Beta

Robert Cartaino on July 09, 2010

Groups have an amazing ability to self organize — not by following rules or hierarchies of authority, but through basic human nature. Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a spontaneous brainstorming session with a group of colleagues? Sometimes you just know that you’re at the start of something big — something important — when everyone is abuzz with ideas, collaborating wildly with enthusiasm and energy.

That’s how it feels each time a new Stack Exchange site is launched. Not only in the questions and answers that are posted, but in the back room collaborations where the self-governance is starting to take shape — in meta. …

@nhahtdh You know the art designers at SE has a clear policy; Even if it's not clear what's the right thing, don't do the wrong thing at all :)

very often when it comes to complicated goals like a logo for anime & manga.SE, it's really difficult; and to not do the wrong thing, that means waiting

and here we are, still waiting :P

Waiting = more time with full privilege

I'm currently having privilege equivalent to 20k on graduated site

It helps to have more users to clean up crap on site, which moderators refuses to touch due to their position

* 150 users with 200+ rep (currently 313 users with 200+ rep)

@EroSɘnnin Yeah, I know "yo" is Spanish for "I" but then I mixed in Japanese where "no" is some form of possessive article.

And/or substitute for "of". Was never really clearly on that, tbh.

Logan M

6:39 PM

That's pretty clearly what they were going for, but it's an absurd way to measure the length of a frog.

Taisho

Eric

Yeah. I was looking at it thinking it might be 1" since the frog's rear end is not touching the line (just the leg).

But it's also at an angle, so that might negate it.

Logan M

I think the angle is more significant here. It looks like it's actually more than 1.5" across its back

Frosteeze

@Eric omg u fail standardized testing

which might mean you're a genius or a complete dumbass :P

Eric

I actually want to find out.

Logan M

6:43 PM

you want to find out how long that frog is?

Hold on, I'll ask on Bio SE to identify the species of frog.

Eric

No, I'm just going to use the image.

Logan M

No, we should get an actual frog of the same species. Measure it the way they do in that problem, and measure the actual length, and compare the two to get the correction factor. Then apply that to the measurement of the image.

You can't just rotate the image of the frog, because it's projected onto a 2-dimensional piece of paper, and could be angled normal to that.

Eric

Of course not. I'm going to use a curved path measuring tool.

Logan M

How do you know the frog isn't exceptionally wide, and just angled so that it looks like an ordinary frog?

Eric

I don't, but at the same time we can't be sure of the frog's age even if we know its species.

It might also have a growth hormone issue.

By my calculation, the frog is 1.38" long.
