@0celo7 You fill the cup with water from the bucket and pour it over yourself.

0celo7

@Kaumudi.H Why doesn't the shower get fixed??

John Rennie

I wonder what would happen if you put on a wet suit then attached a hose to some suitable orifice ...

CooperCape

@Kaumudi.H That's how my friend showered at his grandmas when he went over iirc

John Rennie

Would that work as a bath?

Bernardo Meurer

@Kaumudi.H Iff you had listened to me and pre-purchased a humongous bucket ahead of time you could be swimming right now

CooperCape

18:01

I guess it must be a thing then

Bernardo Meurer

@JohnRennie Awesome!

user228700

@0celo7 I haven't yet bothered to file a complaint yet.

John Rennie

If you turned the pressure up too high it would squirt you out of the wet suit ...

0celo7

ACM will get mad at me for talking about civilization but honestly having a working shower is an integral part of it.

user228700

This is exactly how I have been "showering" my whole life, so I don't mind it at all.

0celo7

18:02

o.O

user228700

@0celo7 There are other ways to make yourself clean, man.

0celo7

Yeah just like there are other ways to eat.

It's just suboptimal.

user228700

@BernardoMeurer Are you kidding me? My bathroom is incredibly tiny!

John Rennie

Oh God here we go again

good night

love me a sponge bath

user228700

18:03

@JohnRennie I was just about to say...

Bernardo Meurer

@Kaumudi.H Well, then convert the bathroom itself into a bucket!

user228700

It's about 8x3 feet.

Bernardo Meurer

You have to be innovative

good night

sometimes when i don't feel like showering i go to my local cleaner and ask to get a full dry clean

0celo7

@Kaumudi.H I don't think I could even fit in there.

Bernardo Meurer

18:04

@0celo7 I couldn't

By beer chub is 5x5

John Rennie

@goodnight that trichloroethylene is great for the skin :-)

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 It's not a lack of "civilization". It's poverty, don't be so arrogant just because you've been born in a rich country where one's own large functional bathroom is considered the norm and not luxury.

user228700

@BernardoMeurer ...what would I do about the toilet commode?

0celo7

@ACuriousMind Arrogant? Really? I asked why it couldn't be fixed and it's completely due to her laziness.

Balarka Sen

There's some generic hardship involved in being a college in India. Not having a decent bathroom is one.

John Rennie

18:05

@Kaumudi.H ah! you didn't say the room had a toilet in.

Bernardo Meurer

@Kaumudi.H Use the ones at nearby restaurants!

good night

@JohnRennie turns heads everywhere i go

Bernardo Meurer

Haven't you heard that saying "Shit where you eat"?

good night

and I always say "no I don't use neutrogena"

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H Just tape up the door and jam the toilet valve open - instant bath!

user228700

18:05

:-)

Sid

@0celo7 it's not really worth it to go complain about these things. They never fix it

user228700

@JohnRennie It does, it does! A sink, a "shower", a tap and a toilet.

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H Then just flush the toilet when you want to empty the bathwater ...

Balarka Sen

I see some stellar advice from JR today

Sid

For instance, the water cooler in my floor stopped working when we returned after holidays. We complained about it for almost a month. And it's only fixed now when we will return home in holidays...

user228700

18:07

@0celo7 Like I said, I now prefer showering out of a bucket. Like ACM says, however, I have lived many years in places where we could not afford running water, let alone a whole shower!

John Rennie

@BalarkaSen Physics, laptop, dirty jokes and plumbing! Is there no end to my skills?

0celo7

"I now prefer showering out of a bucket" does not compute, sorry.

user228700

@JohnRennie Oooh! Well, all this would highly inconvenience my roommate, I'm sure!

good night

@JohnRennie i'm also good at laptop

user228700

@0celo7 I explained it to you before.

good night

18:08

i use it everyday

in fact im using it now to talk to you guys

user228700

@JohnRennie :-) Also eating like a pig.

0celo7

You said it's what you're used to.

Balarka Sen

The best approach is to not shower. I have not showered for 2 months and have survived before

0celo7

In my mind that is very far from "prefer".

Balarka Sen

It's really not hard

Sid

18:09

@BalarkaSen I completely approve of that. :P

user228700

@0celo7 Not for me, no. I like it this way now.

0celo7

I was used to a lot of stuff at home that I fixed now that I'm living on my own.

Sid

I showered today after 5 days and caught a cold.

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H see what you've been missing :-)

0celo7

@Kaumudi.H And I have a hard time comprehending that.

user228700

18:09

@BalarkaSen I hope you're kidding. The longest I've gone without showering is...3 days, i think.

Sid

Obviously, a good idea is to not shower at all...

user228700

@JohnRennie :'-)

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H I am really not. I was away in TIFR when I pulled that stunt.

It completely worked

user228700

2 months? Really?

Balarka Sen

Yes

Well

user228700

18:10

Oh, my God.

good night

foxnews.com/health/2016/01/07/…

Balarka Sen

TIFR also had central AC

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H you can watch the news and see idiots ranting or join the SE chat and ... err ... :-)

Balarka Sen

So it wasn't that hard

0celo7

I can smell myself after 6 hours

user228700

18:10

@JohnRennie Hehe! :-D

0celo7

How did you make it 2 months

ACuriousMind

→ 3 messages moved to Trash

Balarka Sen

I wasn't offended by that... but OK

I take it as a compliment whenever someone says I'm fucked in the head

good night

same

Balarka Sen

It's a massive ego boost

ACuriousMind

18:12

@BalarkaSen I'm sure you do, but that doesn't make it an okay thing to say :P

good night

it feeds my autism

0celo7

I didn't say you were fucked in the head.

good night

#neurodiversity

Balarka Sen

@ACuriousMind Fair, that's why I didn't have any comments to make on the kick.

0celo7

I'm just amazed that this chat somehow thinks not showering for 2 months isn't concerning

Well, @Kaumudi.H thought it was

good

CooperCape

18:14

wati 2months

the f...

0celo7

oh no, don't say anything negative

user228700

Not concerning, just completely spectacular, that you were able to pull that off.

0celo7

you might get kicked

John Rennie

He didn't say he didn't wash for two months, just that he didn't shower for two months.

CooperCape

Okay see at first I thought you were being a tad awkawrd with twice a day or disgusting but 2 freakin months

0celo7

18:14

@BalarkaSen clarify

Balarka Sen

@JohnRennie No, no, you misunderstand. I didn't do anything

I didn't even change my clothes

John Rennie

Back in the 70s in the UK very few bathrooms had showers.

Balarka Sen

It wasn't a trick statement

0celo7

holy crap

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 I don't see why I would get worked up over the showering habits of someone literally half the world away from me :P

user228700

18:15

@BalarkaSen OK, now you're trolling us.

0celo7

@ACuriousMind I get worked up over unnecessary shit all the time

like this damn $L^p$ regularity

halp

John Rennie

@0celo7 take fewer laxatives?

Balarka Sen

lmao

good night

guys you're forgetting that balarka is a lil kid

0celo7

@JohnRennie I take those for a reason

good night

18:16

he can do that and let it slide

0celo7

I explained it earlier in the other chat

good night

i'm not surprised at all

CooperCape

@0celo7 Basically it's $L\times L\times L... n$ times... got you covered

0celo7

I'm uncomfortable with solid waste

CooperCape

This getting too weird now.

Balarka Sen

18:16

@goodnight I'm 14 years old and I won't get sued by Epic Games for not showering for 2 months, no

Semiclassical

Getting weird?

user228700

It's always been too weird.

Phase

I have the mathematical proof but this margin is too small and I'd get banned

user228700

@BalarkaSen Wait, wait, wait.

Phase

aw

John Rennie

18:17

@CooperCape We passed the weird event horizon a while back. There is no way back now.

0celo7

wow you didn't even get kicked

why is @Phase allowed to make homophobic remarks

CooperCape

@JohnRennie Paddle faster than the speed of weird outta here...

user228700

@Balarka: Back the heck up. You're 14? I thought you were at least 17!

0celo7

he's not

Balarka Sen

@JohnRennie Sometimes I think you have the best sense of humor out of all the people in this chat.

0celo7

18:17

he might be trolling

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H No, that was another meme.

good night

@Kaumudi.H are you sircumference

CooperCape

Such discrimination.

Balarka Sen

I'm almost 18

0celo7

@CooperCape you really shouldn't even joke about that.

user228700

18:18

All these memes, sigh.

Balarka Sen

theverge.com/2017/11/27/16707562/…

good night

@Kaumudi.H is sircumference confirmed

Sid

@BalarkaSen ...almost.

user228700

@goodnight No, man, he's right here!

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 For once, I agree.

0celo7

18:18

@ACuriousMind For once? What the hell does that mean?

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 He isn't allowed to, that's why it was deleted.

0celo7

@ACuriousMind He wasn't kicked

Semiclassical

Given how often you two disagree, I'd say "for once" is certainly applicable

0celo7

I think I agree with ACM on almost everything

Just disagree on everything related to the chat

user228700

@goodnight: Why would you think that I am @SirCumference?

John Rennie

18:20

The state of the star board! That's going to scare off anyone foolish enough to want to join this chat room :-)

user228700

Oh, we've had worse! x'D

good night

@JohnRennie i find it attractive

Balarka Sen

I genuinely fear for this room. It's slowly going to turn into Mos Eisley.

0celo7

really? What happened there

Balarka Sen

It got BALEETED

Sid

18:21

@0celo7 the overlords destroyed it

good night

people had their personal hygiene EXPOSED

and everyone lost their minds

0celo7

I have severe autism so I don't perceive a problem here. What is the issue?

John Rennie

@BalarkaSen to be fair we're pretty good at toning things down if people get offended.

Balarka Sen

@JohnRennie That's true, but things seem far too random in recent days.

good night

@JohnRennie yeah

we just need to

send the h bar to the trash

0celo7

18:23

uh-oh, I have nothing to eat

John Rennie

And at least we sometimes talk about physics, while Mos Eisley never talked about SciFi.

Phase

Let's all take a proverbial shower and clean ourselves off

Balarka Sen

Good point

0celo7

fine, let's change topics

Phase

twice a day or else [redacted]

user228700

18:23

@BalarkaSen Huh, is random too bad?

0celo7

what should I eat

good night

@0celo7 chicken tenders

Phase

@0celo7 bullets are the staple american diet right?

0celo7

that would take too long

Sid

@0celo7 veggies

0celo7

18:24

@Phase only for other people

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H There needs to be some common thread to bind a room together. This room needs more physics/math.

user228700

@BalarkaSen Hmm, right.

0celo7

@BalarkaSen Ok, I have one

good night

@BalarkaSen autism

Balarka Sen

@0celo7 I'm ears

0celo7

18:25

I'm trying to get a $W^{2,r}$ regularity for $Lu=f\in L^r$, but when $r<2$

user228700

I think that I finished my very last course in Physics one week ago :-/

0celo7

My prof said it's easy when $r>2n/(n+2)$ but I don't think the estimates work out quite has he thinks

Balarka Sen

If you explain what the words mean I'd say that's interesting

Sir Cumference

@Kaumudi.H Ya don't want to take any more?

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H at least you'll never meet a damped simple harmonic oscillator ever again :-)

ACuriousMind

18:26

@goodnight Okay guys, tone down on the "autism" angle here. Don't throw it around as a causal joke.

user228700

@SirCumference I dunno, really.

good night

@ACuriousMind but it's not a bad thing!

0celo7

I know you can get a Cacciopoli inequality in that case, but actually getting the Sobolev estimate is...eh

He also said it's not true for $r$ smaller, but Jost seems to disagree

user228700

@JohnRennie Well, I wouldn't have minded it so much were my teacher any better at his job!

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H Ugh

0celo7

18:26

And Jost says to check Gilbarg/Trudinger, but that's hopeless

ACuriousMind

@goodnight Indeed, it isn't, but using it as something to joke about is, or at least is perceived badly by many.

0celo7

it's not in there

good night

@ACuriousMind not in this chat

0celo7

@ACuriousMind Well what if I have it? How do you explain my behavior otherwise

user228700

@BalarkaSen Got lotsa Math ahead of me, though!

Balarka Sen

18:27

I am with @ACuriousMind. These kind of jokes are not suitable for a public chat.

Phase

I'm pretty sure I'm autistic and It's fine, it doesn't negatively impact my life at all, it just makes me want chicken tendies a lot

0celo7

Although I don't know what I would do if someone IRL told me they didn't shower for 2 months

ACuriousMind

Do we have to have the "it's a public room" conversation yet again?

John Rennie

Wow Cacciopoli inequality really exists. And I was sure you were just making words up to troll us.

Sir Cumference

Ugh this room...

good night

18:28

@SirCumference how was sleep

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H That's nice!

Sir Cumference

@goodnight I don't

0celo7

@JohnRennie Seriously? When do I ever joke about PDEs?

user228700

@SirCumference x'D Man, not even now?

user228700

Why hasn't the situation improved in over one year?!

ACuriousMind

18:29

Even if someone knowing you would understand that you are not making fun of autistic people, someone just passing by cannot know that, and will just think you're the standard internet troll using autism as a cheap insult or a cheap laugh. We don't want that.

user228700

You've been telling us about it since last October, at least, I'm sure, maybe even further back!

Balarka Sen

What kind of math, though?

good night

@SirCumference running away won't do anything

0celo7

@BalarkaSen what?

@ACuriousMind We've had this conversation a dozen times.

Balarka Sen

That was to K. My internet is bad

good night

18:30

can we do physics instead please

Sir Cumference

@Kaumudi.H A little, but I have more work than I used to, so often I need to stay up long hours

good night

we don't do enough physics anymore

Sir Cumference

That's really annoying when I get so tired I begin to hallucinate voices

good night

@SirCumference did you close the mayaonnaise?

user228700

@BalarkaSen At this point, I can't say I know :-/

good night

18:30

and refrigerate it?

Sir Cumference

Or think I'm places where I'm not

good night

hmm

user228700

@SirCumference Man, that doesn't sound good at all.

good night

@SirCumference are you not at columbia?

:p

ACuriousMind

@SirCumference Did you see a doctor about that since we last advised you to?

If not, you really should

user228700

18:31

@Balarka: A bunch of Calculus, for sure!

Phase

@SirCumference that is slightly concerning.

Sir Cumference

@Kaumudi.H Eh, it's called hypnagogia. Lots of people hallucinate moments before falling asleep. But I keep trying to stay awake, so I keep seeing them while working.

That becomes a real pain.

Phase

@SirCumference how often do you sleep?

user228700

Go to the friggin' doctor, man!

0celo7

@JohnRennie Btw I'm giving a light-on-math GR talk next semester

Balarka Sen

18:32

@SirCumference Oh yeah I have felt that before

Sid

@0celo7 like a presentation?

John Rennie

@0celo7 To whom? Students, or is it an outreach talk?

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H That's pretty cool

user228700

@SirCumference Ah, that's happened to me, too.

Sir Cumference

@BalarkaSen Last night while doing homework I was perplexed why the words on my paper weren't falling down like tetris blocks.

good night

18:33

@Sid speaking of presents < 30 days till x-mas

user228700

@BalarkaSen I'll let you know as it comes :-)

0celo7

@JohnRennie To profs. I'm organizing a reading seminar with a prof to go over recent scalar curvature/GR literature

And I'm giving the opening talk on ADM stuff

Balarka Sen

@SirCumference How much do you sleep everyday?

On average

user228700

@SirCumference x'D Wow.

0celo7

So constraint equations/Nother's theorem on bundles

Hopefully I can derive the ADM momentum

Sir Cumference

18:34

@BalarkaSen When I can find time to sleep, and when I actually manage to clear my mind.

Sid

@goodnight I don't get presents on X-Mas. I prefer to be in a blanket...

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi That'd be nice. Wait, so you say you're back home. Is your semester finished?

Sir Cumference

So often all nighters, occassionally a few hours, and on breaks 7 hours

0celo7

@JohnRennie after that I've got more technical GR talks

John Rennie

@0celo7 doesn't sound all that light on maths ...

user228700

18:34

@BalarkaSen Study holidays, man; my exams start this Monday and I am not freaking out! (Yes, yes, I am)

0celo7

@JohnRennie It's just typical GR symbol pushing

defining the right bundles is a bit of a pain

Sir Cumference

@Kaumudi.H I spent all my break studying for something that I just learned will not be on the exam.

I'm in so much pain

Sid

@SirCumference If you are sleeping 20 hours weekly, you will survive

0celo7

@JohnRennie but the point is that it's an actual physics talk

Balarka Sen

@SirCumference Not good.

user228700

18:35

@SirCumference Oh, damn, that sucks, man :-/

user228700

I'm so sorry!

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi.H Yikes. Good luck!

Sir Cumference

@BalarkaSen Yeah. Thing is, 80% of my work is just from my Physics class. That's by far the hardest.

Balarka Sen

So after the exams you get a long break or something?

user228700

Zanks! :-)

user228700

18:36

@BalarkaSen Not too long, only 10 days.

vzn

@Kaumudi.H hi havent seen you in awhile, wondering if you picked a major...?

Sir Cumference

Physics has a negative connotation among the people in its major just because of how much they expect out of you

Balarka Sen

@SirCumference Are you taking too many courses at once? Maybe time to fix that next year

Sid

@Kaumudi.H why are you freaking out? Exams don't matter one bit as long as you clear all subjects

Sir Cumference

@BalarkaSen I already went down to 15

user228700

18:37

@Sid Well, it seems to matter quite a bit to my parents!

Balarka Sen

Damn that's way too much

Sir Cumference

There's nothing I can really do about that

@BalarkaSen 15?

user228700

@vzn Hey! :-) Yes, I ended up taking CSE!

Sid

...15? :o

user228700

:-o Wow.

Sir Cumference

18:38

...?

vzn

@Kaumudi.H congratulations think thats way cool are you coding anything these days? any languages? :)

Sir Cumference

The average for physical science students here is probably 16

user228700

Ooh, so many folks coming in! Is the chat session due today or s'thing?

user228700

@vzn Hehe :-) I'm learning Python at the moment, but I haven't had the time to devote a significant chunk of my time to it yet; I plan on doing just this during my winter break!

Sir Cumference

@Kaumudi.H Learn JS after

user228700

18:40

Why?

Sid

@SirCumference I think anything >9-12 courses means that you are over-exerting yourself

Sir Cumference

It's almost certainly not useful for what you're doing, but it's extremely useful if you use the internet a lot

@Sid I said credits :P

good night

@Sid how are those things related

vzn

@Kaumudi.H so any other females in your classes or are you surrounded by guys? any feelings about it, is it ok?

Sid

@Kaumudi.H Cause JS sucks. And you need to know that...

0celo7

18:40

@SirCumference fyi the typical indian probably has twice your workload.

Sir Cumference

I'm taking 5 classes

Sid

@goodnight I don't ask anyone for presents. So, no one gives me any presents.

@SirCumference ...that's way too low. Stop sleeping and work harder. :P

0celo7

^

good night

therefore you wrap yourself in a blanket?

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi are you still doing that CN schtick

Sid

18:42

@0celo7 Nah, I only had 22 credits this semester although it's probably 30 hours of classes per week...

user228700

@vzn Well, no, not exactly; us girls are 18 in number, in a class of 61 students.

Sid

@goodnight yep.

vzn

@Kaumudi.H not bad for engineering! :)

ACuriousMind

@vzn "females" - what are you, an alien zoologist? :P

0celo7

@ACuriousMind what else do you call them

good night

18:43

@Sid meirl

vzn

@ACuriousMind speaking of aliens, what do you propose to call them?

ACuriousMind

@0celo7 Women.

^cc @vzn

good night

@ACuriousMind is a ladies man

0celo7

@ACuriousMind sure, but the typical slang here is "females"

Balarka Sen

lmao

user228700

18:44

@BalarkaSen Of course! Still, like I keep on saying, I have had no time to do anything other than my own coursework.

Balarka Sen

i am going to pretend i didn't see this conversation

vzn

what is CN?

0celo7

Canadian Noose

user228700

@vzn Cognitive Neuroscience.

good night

can confirm

Balarka Sen

18:44

@Kaumudi.H Fair enough

vzn

@goodnight havent seen any evidence of that myself :P

user228700

@BalarkaSen It's not fun, though.

0celo7

No, @ACuriousMind is a lady-man

Balarka Sen

@Kaumudi Quite understandably

user228700

Gosh, so many assignments!

vzn

18:45

ok neuroscience rocks too :) good combination with AI these days

user228700

Oh, shoot, I have most of Calculus left to study tomorrow and I gotta hit the sack now if I hope to be at least a little well rested for it.

user228700

@Balarka: I might ping you for urgent help! :-P

Balarka Sen

Feel free; I'm around all day

user228700

Cool :-)

Balarka Sen

Well. Unless I'm zzzing

Sir Cumference

18:46

@goodnight I'm flattered you naturally expect me to go to a school like Columbia, but I'm afraid you're not exactly correct

user228700

Bye, everyone! :-) Have a nice day/night!

Phase

@SirCumference are you related to @SirCumcision?

0celo7

@SirCumference I want to r/murderedbywords you but ACM is here

another time

Balarka Sen

G'night

vzn

@Kaumudi.H thx for dropping by, itd be fun to hear further about any prjs youre getting into

good night

18:47

@Phase ded

Sir Cumference

@Phase Oh, is it because I'm Jewish?

Balarka Sen

@goodnight same

Phase

@SirCumference I cant tell if ironic or not

::danger zone danger zone::

Sir Cumference

Well I am actually Jewish :P

Phase

oh shieeet

good night

18:48

@SirCumference so then does that mean you're related?

Balarka Sen

I shall I have no part in this

2

CooperCape

Yo someone remind me to stop collecting flags smh

good night

@BalarkaSen i shall same

0celo7

ACM is going to come in here and ban everyone

this is bad news

CooperCape

Awww

I just got unbanned

Phase

18:49

Quick run before the Globalist elites get back

CooperCape

Wait is it for anti-semitism cause that's probs what my bans would fall under

Oops

Phase

@CooperCape STOP

CooperCape

Shhhh

good night

@CooperCape you're not funny

Felix.C

Can someone please very briefly explain to me what electron screening of the nucleus is, and why it leads to having the electrons prefer the lower orbital angular momentum states?

good night

18:50

delete that

Sir Cumference

@CooperCape Jeez I mention a religion and everyone freaks out :P

vzn

aieee RELIGION

Phase

@SirCumference Tbh there's a legitimate reason why Jewish culture is a pain, How the hell am I supposed to remember how to spell jeueuwdaism

Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, easy

why you gotta have so many vowels

Sir Cumference

@Phase Bro the worst word to ever spell is "yarmulke". It's pronounced "yamaka"

Phase

Is that the hat?

Sir Cumference

18:52

Yep

There shouldn't be an r, u, l or e

good night

which hat

the fedora

or the lil cap

Sir Cumference
