In hotel room. On laptop.

@ACuriousMind PoE I see :D

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 lol, you typed that the moment I quit

0celo7

@ACuriousMind to read Straumann?

I have a feeling you'll never get around to it :(

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 No, to finish preparing tomorrow's role playing session :P If it makes you feel better, I've not read anything else physicsy, either.

skull patrol

How's that program of yours going? Did you find the error...

0celo7

@ACuriousMind ...role playing session?

that BDSM thing was a joke, right?

ACuriousMind

00:55

lol

Are you familiar with the concept of "pen and paper roleplaying"?

0celo7

sounds like some fetish

ACuriousMind

It's probably easier if I just let you believe it's some BDSM thing...

0celo7

no

please explain

it's either explaining that or the Riemann-Baguette lemma

ACuriousMind

Y'know, the concept of RPG is older than computers

skull patrol

It's called thought experiments

0celo7

00:58

lol

Kyle Kanos

@ACuriousMind Probably

0celo7

@skullpatrol he gave up

Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons (abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). The game has been published by Wizards of the Coast (now a subsidiary of Hasbro) since 1997. It was derived from miniature wargames with a variation of the Chainmail game serving as the initial rule system. D&D‍‍ '‍s publication is widely regarded as the beginning of modern role-playing games and the role-playing game industry. D&D departs from traditional wargaming and assigns each player...

And pen and paper roleplaying is essentially a bunch of people meeting in real life to experience some kind of story together, where they are either the protagonists or the game master controlling the world

@alarge lol, I'm no LARPer

0celo7

LARP?

@0celo7 Live Action Role Play

@ACuriousMind sounds really nerdy

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 Why, yes, it is! :)

0celo7

I saw that

ACuriousMind

@skullpatrol We do have Role-playing Games

skull patrol

:O

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 I know, I just removed it because the damn skull got between me and Kyle

ACuriousMind

01:02

@0celo7 I'd call that obvious.

skull patrol

0celo7

Kyle Kanos

You guys and your removals

ACuriousMind

What, I don't look for half a minute and you delete half the chat?

Kyle Kanos

Just stick to your damn guns and keep your words on the screen

Why is backing up my iPad taking so many hours?

@skullpatrol I have yet to sync my 128GB monster iPad with my new laptop

@KyleKanos a what

Kyle Kanos

Also, I think I'll get the official hire call on Monday

skull patrol

I thought the computer age was all about speed.

I thought wrong

0celo7

@KyleKanos huh, you don't cuss here much, do you

Kyle Kanos

I try to avoid the more serious ones

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 Type f**k (the actual word) into the transcript search and sort by newest. What do you notice?

0celo7

@ACuriousMind nothing

ACuriousMind

01:09

@0celo7 Really?

0celo7

I'm a poor trendsetter

ACuriousMind

Over 2/3 of the occurences of that word are from you!

And the rest is mostly Danu :P

skull patrol

Lol

0celo7

01:10

it's such a nice word

skull patrol

Try "damn"

0celo7

lol I bet I use that the most too :P

@ACuriousMind ok that lemma is not hard at all

ACuriousMind

Never said it was

0celo7

never said it wasn't either

ACuriousMind

Okay, I shall attach a difficulty rating to any lemma I cite in the future :P

0celo7

01:19

from high school calculus to teichmüller twistor mechanics please

ACuriousMind

01:29

I think a logarithmic scale probably works best

skull patrol

^

The difficulty does increase exponentially

The question is now can you handle it? @0celo7

obe

He's handled a lot of stuff already.

skull patrol

Under the pressure of time?

That^ is the first thing that gets tested at uni

They don't call it weeding out for nothing

0celo7

01:50

-.- why did someone star that

@skullpatrol why would I get weeded out

skull patrol

I'm not saying you will.

0celo7

do chat bans get longer every time?

skull patrol

Yes

0celo7

@ACuriousMind you're totally on 4chin i.gyazo.com/7ef6ffb8e485fd8d3bd0920df3a04465.png

@0celo7 Hmmmmm?

@0celo7 No idea, I know how to behave myself :P

@DanielSank I forgot them in the car and now I'm sitting here at 2 in the morning because my parents are fucking snoring

skull patrol

06:32

Ear plugs?

0celo7

in the car

skull patrol

Make your own pal.

Use tissues.

0celo7

@ACuriousMind I blame whoever starred that

it was not my fault

skull patrol

@DanielSank yes

DanielSank

06:39

And really @0celo7 how could you forget? My recommendation to bring them is even starred so you would remember.

0celo7

@DanielSank it's in my duffle bag, which I did not bring into the hotel

DanielSank

@0celo7 Dude, go get it. Losing a night of sleep is the worst.

0celo7

I should play GTA or something

DanielSank

@0celo7 Wat!

No, fix your sleep problem.

0celo7

@DanielSank not allowed to get keys without permission

DanielSank

06:41

The front desk probably has them.

Go ask at the front desk of the hotel.

0celo7

mm, I got 4 hours

DanielSank

My goodness @0celo7, if you haven't even started classes and your sleep schedule is messed up you're on a trajectory toward disaster.

This is something I forgot to say the other day. I really mean what I say here, more than I can probably express:

skull patrol

Just roll up some tissues and stick them in your ears.

0celo7

::sigh, puts on pants::

DanielSank

Respecting your body's need for sleep, good food, and recreation is a huge key to success in college (and life).

0celo7

06:42

damn, no clue where the room key is

DanielSank

Do not try to cheat your body. It will not work.

skull patrol

^

0celo7

I can't find the room key

DanielSank

Well, I leave it to your capable decision making. Perhaps you can bring your ID and convince the front desk to issue you a new one.

I need to go to sleep.

Best wishes, and try to sleep :-)

skull patrol

This iCloud back up thing is such a pain :-/

0celo7

06:46

agreed

found the key

skull patrol

I heard android uses a cable and it's much faster.

0celo7

...a cable to the cloud?

skull patrol

Your own cloud

0celo7

@DanielSank they don't have earplugs

FML

skull patrol

He's right about sleep and food.

Sophisticated Idiot

07:05

Hi, I'm trying to understand how a moving conductor traveling with a constant velocity in a uniform magnetic field can produce an emf of -Blv where l is the length of the conductor AND have the positive charges stack up at the top. There seems to be some sort of contradiction that the top has more positive charges but also more negative (nodal) voltage?

Here's my diagram with all my work and where I'm confused. i.imgur.com/KpNQU5h.png

skull patrol

07:26

May I suggest you ask on the main site?

Sophisticated Idiot

Okay.

DanielSank

@0celo7 Indeed.

If you have a gold badge in a tag then you can immediately close as a duplicate any question that has that tag. So for example I have a gold badge in [general-relativity] and [newtonian-mechanics] and should be able to close as duplicates any questions tagged with these. However I just VTC'd as ...

14:14

Decent.

0celo7

Huh they have Griffiths in the book store

Huy

The QM book?

0celo7

Yes

"Chemical applications of group theory"

Huy

@0celo7: Why is that surprising? Is it uncommon in the US?

0celo7

This means there is a group theory prof somewhere

Huy

14:17

Well hopefully.

Groups are cool.

0celo7

Ah that's all finite stuff

Well there is a group theory class

But I'll never meet the prereqs

Huy

You have compulsory prereqs? Over here it's always just a recommendation.

0celo7

Yeah

"Swine science" sounds cool

Huy

@0celo7: Do you know Kenyon's GR textbook?

0celo7

No, found Sakurai though

@Huy is it really mathy or something?

Huy

14:33

@0celo7: No, we just have a "book market" for students at our uni where you can resell your books and that was the only GR book available.

0celo7

Looks like I'll be using Artin for algebra

Huy

Physicists do algebra?

NeuroFuzzy

@Huy Lie theory heck yes!

Huy

@NeuroFuzzy: I'm taking a course on Lie groups next semester!

NeuroFuzzy

@0celo7 Artin and not georgi lie algebras in particle physics? For what purpose?

0celo7

14:47

@NeuroFuzzy undergrad algebra I assume

I did not see Georgi

NeuroFuzzy

@0celo7 Oh. Yeah that's undergrad algebra.

0celo7

16:25

@Huy I'm gonna order my mouse as soon as I sign my housing contract and get my mail box

Huy

@0celo7: Sure, whenever you're ready.

I'm gonna order something too. Just not sure what yet.

@0celo7 WHAT?

My house has like 15mb/s internet.

@ACuriousMind dr Lang is a U Heidelberg grad

@0celo7 How fast is the fast one then? 300mb/s?

If you want to download steam games then even 50gb game will take a few minutes.

obe

17:41

@skullpatrol Are you a physics student?

Huy

We don't even know if he's a student.

He is very mysterious.

obe

Weird.

Huy

I'm no physics student, if you must know.

0celo7

@obe Steam servers aren't that fast

I get 100 at home and Steam has never gone beyond 20

FenderLesPaul

boop

0celo7

@skullpatrol Maik

@ACuriousMind talked to the dept. head's secretary in German, I now have an in

Huy

@0celo7: the speedtest is also in Mb/s whereas steam shows download speed in MB/s, so maybe that's why you get 100 in the speedtest and only 20 on steam

0celo7

@Huy interesting...

I'll download a game now for testing purposes

Huy

@0celo7: internet providers pretty much always show it in Mb/s, probably because the number becomes higher so people think it's faster than it actually is

0celo7

18:14

@Huy still 20

Huy

@0celo7: Well yeah, guess what 160 divided by 8 gives.

0celo7

well how did I get that at home oO

Huy

random spikes of faster speed

0celo7

@Huy dunno, math is hard

Huy

@0celo7: Use induction

0celo7

18:18

@Huy induction is hard

skull patrol

Deduction is easier.

For most.

I'll try 1080p

TanMath

Danu

@Huy I don't know the context really, but this terminology came up in my geometry courses too, e.g. tangent cones

@DanielSank Don't you remember this one nice thing we both share?

and no, @0celo7, it's not pot :P

@skillpatrol We can accept you as you are, don't worry <3

DanielSank

@Danu Not long, eh?

Danu

19:08

@DanielSank She couldn't afford to take time off from work, which she has to get back to in the weekend

DanielSank

@Danu I just found myself trying to convince her to blow off work.

Danu

Some glorious days though...

@DanielSank Hahaha, she's the mature and responsible type ;) No point in trying

DanielSank

@Danu Break her of that habit.

Kidding.

Danu

But urgh it's so sad to be back home alone again

DanielSank

@Danu Go visit her.

Dude, can you cook Greek food?

Danu

19:13

She lives in Munich as well; I'll be back in 2.5 weeks. Then, a few weeks later, we'll spend a few days in Greece as well. :)

DanielSank

@Danu Islands?

Danu

@DanielSank Not really, but just because I wasn't exposed to it. I'm sure I can do it in principle.

DanielSank

@Danu Make her stuffed tomatoes.

Danu

@DanielSank Not this time... Thessaloniki now and hopefully her island next time.

@DanielSank Stuffed with...?

DanielSank

@Danu omg

She's from the islands?

Danu

@Danu Go now.

Where are you?

Danu

Amsterdam, staying here with my parents for the break.

DanielSank

@Danu Pfffft. That's like driving across the state in the US. Just go.

Take a train.

Danu

Can't be doing stuff like that man... gotta respect their space and stuff :P

Also, it's complicated!

DanielSank

@Danu Heheh, wise man, eh?

Danu

extraordinarily complicated

DanielSank

@Danu Either you're wrong or that's bad.

Danu

19:19

@DanielSank It's... sub-optimal :\

DanielSank

@Danu Awww. I'm sorry.

Make her stuffed tomatoes. It will fix everything.

Danu

It's really good when we're together. I'm enjoying the fuck out of that and hoping the rest will also sort itself out eventually

@KyleKanos can you explain how to get the "widescreen" display of SE? PSE layout has been giving me shit lately

@0celo7 Poor suckers, got conned into buying books

DanielSank

@Danu Some of them are worth it.

I have useful notes in my books.

Danu

19:25

The textbook industry is a sick beast; it deserves to be put out of its misery.

DanielSank

@Danu Disagree.

Danu

@DanielSank I refuse to support the industry that sets these prices

DanielSank

People actually learn better from paper media, as annoying as that is.

0celo7

My linear algebra class does not have a book listed for some reason

Danu

@DanielSank I'm not against books. I'm against the textbook industry.

obe

19:26

@0celo7 Lecture notes then.

DanielSank

@0celo7 Probably the prof doesn't want to use one. That's kind of annoying.

@Danu Meh. Writers and publishers do useful work.

@obe maybe

Danu

@DanielSank I also think the variance will be too high here to say anything meaningful but okay

@0celo7 Just disgusting!

@Danu Are you an expert in technical book writing/publishing/marketing/etc.?

DanielSank

How do you know it's "disgusting"?
