I have a day of Zoom tomorrow.

The agenda is a work of art.

The presenter at 10:55 am is one I am particularly interested in hearing.

Alexander Gruber

wow 10 whole minutes of netflix

Safdar

now?@an4s

an4s

chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/55270483#55270483 Nope!

My point is: MathJax doesn't render for me at all in the chat

Safdar

Do you have tampermonkey?

an4s

@Safdar Yes. I am already looking into whether I need to have a script installed. Do you know which one it is?

Safdar

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/97938/… @An4s

Does it work now? @An4s?

an4s

13:53

@Safdar I installed the script but it doesn't seem to be working. Let me try a different browser

@Safdar Aha! The extension worked! It renders now. Thanks

MONDAY FUNDAY in honor of @quid's "favorite" day!

Hello, @quid. Happy Monday! :-)

quid

@amWhy hello!

There is a chat tournament going on.

amWhy

@quid A chat tournament, or a chess tournament?

quid

@amWhy chess indeed.

amWhy

@quid :P Which tournament? Do you have a link?

What would a chat tournament look like, if there were to be one?

quid

The final of the Carlsen series. Yes it's on chess24 chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/…

amWhy

16:21

chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/55271977#55271977 Who writes the fewest number of posts in chat, with the greatest number of stars, or rather, who has the highest star to comment ratio in any given chatroom

@quid Any word on when the Candidates' Tournament well resume? Or if it will resume?

quid

@amWhy what to do about 0/0?

@amWhy nothing specific.

amWhy

@quid They disqualify as "indeterminate"

Safdar

17:08

@quid who do you think is going to win?

quid

@Safdar Carlsen.

Safdar

@quid odds on him?

quid

@Safdar I don't know any official odds, but it would not be a huge surprise if he does not win either. Maybe its 3:2 odds or something like that.

Safdar

Btw, I stumbled upon "whatever, quid, backup plan" what is that for?

quid

@Safdar it's a "backup plan" for those users that cannot use this room. The point is that a chat suspension on "chat" does not apply on "meta chat"

Safdar

17:16

@quid So those that have suspensions can talk there.. got it.

amWhy

22:37

@quid Do you know what a quidential is?

Ans: It's a credential held by @quid! :D

quid

@amWhy indeed that's what I'd have guess.

amWhy

And something that is aquidental is something @quid did accidentally! Your username is much more fun to play with than mine! :P

quid

@amWhy I'm happy to be such a source of fun. :-)

amWhy

@quid You're such a good sport! :-)

Instead of equestrian, you are equidtrian!

Just don't be equidocal, @quid!

quid

@amWhy not sure what that means.

amWhy

22:48

I was playing off the word "equivocal", @quid. google.com/…

I do know you to be very equidable, though!

@quid don't mind my wordplay... you're also very quidable, quedible, credible!

Sorry, @quid. I don't intend for this to distract you from tasks you need to complete.

quid

@amWhy that has a good sound to it.

amWhy

@quid If there were more amWhys,we'd be all the more wise?? Don't you think? ;D

quid

@amWhy certainly.

amWhy

You can join this wise crowd, if you change your username to @quidWhy!

And @XanderHenderson can be @XanderHendersonWhy The possibilities are endless! ;D

@quid Don't mind me. I'm just being silly, but having fun being silly!

Xander Henderson

23:05

Why not @xanWhy?

Though, if we want to remain thematic, it should probably be @quiDee and @SandWhy

(my grandfather always wanted me to go by Sandy)

@amWhy

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Oh, that would be great. But Yes, by all means, @quiDee and @SandWhy are fitting too!

Xander Henderson

@xandeArr?

amWhy

Would @DanielFischer then be @DanieEll?

Xander Henderson

Can I be a pirate?

quid

@amWhy maybe I could be quWhy.

Xander Henderson

23:11

I just got a lovely little monsoon rain!

Yay!

amWhy

@quid Go for it! I'll await your change in username.

@XanderHenderson At your new home?

Xander Henderson

Yup.

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Hope the sand all doesn't wash away!

Xander Henderson

I think that it will be okay.

:)

quid

@amWhy I'll keep it for a special occasion.

amWhy

23:13

@AloiziOh @AlexandeAre

@roBee, @daviDee, @PedrOh, @MichaeEll

Xander Henderson

In case you are interested: the view from the street behind the house.

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Sure. You'll need to add an eyepatch to your identicon, though, and a pirate's hat!

@XanderHenderson where, where?

Xander Henderson

Arg... it doesn't want to upload.

Hang on...

That picture is from two weeks ago.

I am currently on the second floor, look out of the window that is on the right.

amWhy

@XanderHenderson I wanna see the Monsoon! But it looks like you've got a good view!

Xander Henderson

I didn't take a picture.

and it has already passed.

There is the current view out the window.

The street is wet!

And there are clouds!

amWhy

23:25

@XanderHenderson Wow! Hardly looks (the sky) like there was just recently rain!

I think I'd miss more trees than what I'm used to!

quid

@XanderHenderson the kerning there is a bit tricky. I was thinking where are the douds and what does that even mean?

amWhy

@quid clouds?

Xander Henderson

@amWhy That is how Southwestern monsoons roll: you get a cloudburst, which drops anywhere from half an inch to two inches of rain, then it passes, and it is sunny again.

Though 10 degrees cooler.

quid

@amWhy I know clouds but do you know douds?

Xander Henderson

Though, to be fair, the view to the north is doudier.

Or maybe I should say c l o u d i e r?

amWhy

23:29

@quid I agree, the spacing is precariously confusing.

Xander Henderson

to avoid kerning issues?

This is what I've been saying, people! San serif fonts suck!

Anywho, I need to go hold office hours in California now.

amWhy

@XanderHenderson ur rite!

quid

I quite like sans serif to be honest.

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Are you mountain time, or Pacific time? Where you live now.

Xander Henderson

@amWhy I am Mountain Standard Time right now, which is the same as Pacific Daylight Time.

amWhy

23:32

@XanderHenderson Ahh, okay! So you are at around 4:33 p.m., save for the Navajo.

Xander Henderson

Of course, the Navajo are on daylight time, so three miles to the north, it is 5:30 pm (and not 4:30 pm).

On the other hand, the Hopi do not use daylight time. So on the Hopi Res, it is still 4:30.

Here is a helpful map: timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html

amWhy

I didn't know most of Arizona is on Mountain Standard Time all year long. Which means, come November, you'll only be an hour behind me, when Central time in WI goes back to standard time.

Xander Henderson

Yup.

amWhy

I just wish the US would, across the board, abolish DST!!

Xander Henderson

Hear hear.

amWhy

23:39

@XanderHenderson I don't wanna keep you from your "drive to CA" for office hours! ;D I know they're virtual hours, mind you. But you sound like a real dedicated trooper when I think of you driving back and forth between CA and AZ!

Xander Henderson

I am done with driving back and forth.

I've got three more weeks of teaching in Cali, and then I am completely in Arizona.

Yay!

amWhy

@XanderHenderson ;D !!
