Hello.

Oh good, people.

barks

@simchona Well, mammals, anyway.

I suppose a three headed dog is a mammal.

I don't know.

Do men have mammae?

@Cerberus Each man has one mother.

What if his moms are Lesbians?

@Cerberus I wasn’t aware that technology had advanced to the state where both could supply a daughter with one of the two X chromosomes she needs, but I frankly see no way for one of your lesbians to supply a Y chromosome for the son. Smells pretty fishy if you ask me.

@tchrist Why use technology when you have the law?

The law can make one a mother without contributing chromosomes.

Even habituation or recognition can make one a mother.

Hi there.

Does anyone here speak Dutch?

Hi!

How are you?

This website says "levering" under the price of an advertisement.

I'm shopping for an old Android phone to use as a Wifi hotspot and media streamer.

And you?

How old?

I'm collecting logos, taglines, icons, and jingles from my brain and writing them down.

For science.

Hey there!

@user37324 hey yourself

I think somebody called me here from a topic after locking it!

simchona ?

bye

People are asking me in their comments but I have no chance to reply them! Ridiculous

@chatkillah Well, it doesn't matter, as long as it can function as a Wifi hotspot and support 3G.

@chatkillah A noble pursuit.

@Cerberus It's actually for class.

Ohh.

Design class?

Advertising.

We have a semester-long project around an invented brand.

this is preliminary activity for designing the logo, tagline, trade character, and jingle for our brand.

@user37324 Your comments don't make sense, and just invite more chatter

Sim but it is your idea not the others idea

I have the same idea about FF comments

@user37324 You can't just say my name and expect it to ping me.

I think if you want to lock comments you have delete all of them

@user37324 I deleted a bunch of them, not just yours.

not my respond to them.

You complained that I didn't delete Carlo's, but I eventually did.

FF is asking something me in his comment and you only delete my respond

You wrote:

> @FumbleFingers There is no asking advice in topic. About your advice it is invalid about me as it was my own advice to you guys. Please do not catch it!

If it make you chill off nothing else to add

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Yes! It was my respond to his comment with equal quality

Then I'll delete his too. Happy?

Sim it is not about you . Do not bother yourself. It was between me and FF. Why do you want to medlle in it?

@user37324 I'm a mod. You're holding a conversation in a question. Meddling is what we do.

I think it is your invalid and inappropriate reactions which change some of topics to off topic

That's fine.

I really don't have the time to argue with you right now.

I do not find what is your mean about being happy or sad about a very reasonable discussion

I do not like it too. bye

I am not chatty and do not understand your kind of ideas. I talk with reasons and logic.

@tchrist That's why men will become redundant.

@Cerberus Do you need tutoring in Dutch?

I always thought you were posing as Dutch...you know...for the ladies.

@Mitch I think so?

@Mitch I know, I know. Of course.

Ja, ik denk het wel.

I think what they mean is the seller will whip the item to you.

What??

@Mitch Nou, als jij nou eens van wal ehh steekt.

@Mitch "Levering".

Which means "delivery".

Or "supply".

What does it means when it says "levering" below the price of an on-line advertisement?

It is about a second-hand phone.

Dude, this is not going to work unless you give me things that google translate will work properly with.

@Cerberus Ohhhh....

Do you really think I wouldn't pick something on purpose that Google can't translate?

You know me better than that.

I used an idiomatic expression separated by some words.

But isn't "levering" a Dutch word?

@Mitch It would be 100 % clear to a Dutchman.

@Mitch Yes.

and it's not clear to you?

No, because the context is weird.

and you're a Dutchman?

Yes.

OK logic restored.

Good.

heh.

What did the dormouse say?

I think they mean the seller will ship the phone to you, instead of your picking it up.

But it is weird.

OK now I need a link.

@Cerberus It concerns me that you’ve taken up whips.

Do they have a FAQ?

@tchrist depends on which side.

cries havoc

Really, what's the problem with buying a whip, When I... oh...I've said too much already.

listens for 'havoc'

marktplaats.nl/a/telecommunicatie/mobiele-telefoons-samsung/…

Like this.

no popups?

Other ads say "pick up". Others again say "pick up or ship".

I don't want my family to see Dutch 'popups' all over my screen.

Pop-ups?

Haha.

It's like Craigslist, but much better.

I can see a three-pronged whip, each prong bearing three subprongs, being an appropriate cat-a-nine-tails to whip Hell’s doggie with. I just wondered who would have the temerity.

'better'?

As far as I know searching on CL is horrible?

@Cerberus So is a boot to the head.

Possibly.

But it is not "like CL".

@Cerberus I expand that out to "Claigslist". gives it an exotic feel.

East-Asian?

I think the correct pronunciation is "Claigsrist".

flicks

Then pronounce every vowel as 4 syllables, as per @Robusto's instructions.

Holy crap...Dutch and English are interlegible! ...sort of...

Sure!

I didn’t know Rob had asperwhatever syndrome.

@tchrist Asparagers?

Worse. He knows Japanese.

Or better.

It's good with butter and a bit of lemon.

Assburgers.

Goes with the horseburgers in the recent news.

With egg, ham, potato, and butter sauce.

"Voor meer informatie kunt u contact met ons opnemen" - why don't you contact them for more info? and then you can clear up the delivery thing.. I mean really, you're in the Netherlands, the farthest two points are within walking distance.

And nutmeg.

Pair with a nice Chianti.

and fava beans? that never sounded good.

@Mitch Hehe. I could do that. I am 80 % sure they mean "the seller with ship this item by mail".

UK Burger King outlets are now offering a special double-muleburger, with an assburger on top and a horseburger on the bottom.

@Mitch But I see your Dutch is improving!

That sounds right...but who knows.

@Mitch fava != lima

Reading sure. I'd never seen Dutch in person. in context. in longer pieces. you can totally figure it out.

Now this would make sense.

@tchrist ack. lima beans. they must serve those to prisoners.

"Delivery: 1. Pick up 2. shipped by mail 3. either."

@MετάEd Hollandaise works better. Or Hollander. Something like that.

So then why do some items say simply "levering/delivery"?

@Cerberus oh, as a header for what -type- of delivery? yeah.

Yes.

Delivery is like so totally non-uniform.

I expect my couriers to come bedecked in proper livery.

I can add nothing here that you don't already know and have doubts about. I can add more doubts though.

See, this is what I don't get. ^

@Mitch Yay!

What, more phone sex?

@tchrist ha ha...that's what it sounds like. a false friend. It's how they dress up the phone when they deliver it.

This one makes sense. ^

is the last one shipping and handling?

You keep pointing at Mitch. Don’t you think that’s going to make him self-conscious eventually?

hoping y'all can help me remember a word

raspberry

what do you call the pavillion type awning thing that hangs over the front of a shop?

@Aerovistae ask away. we have remembered lots of words.

is it just awning?

@Mitch "Pick up or ship".

or is there a more specific term

@tchrist no. no.. that;s not it.

well, maybe it is.

This one makes sense too. Simply "pick up".

@tchrist Do not have phone sex with your actual phone.

I always rolls up my raspberries when I close up the shop.

@Aerovistae yeah, it's just an awning.

alrighty then

thanks

That way smokers won’t stand there in the rain when I’m not there to extinguish them.

@Aerovistae Awning sounds fine. Unless you mean something special: can you post an image of what you mean?

Oh, I know what he means.

Search Google Images for "awning"?

pavilion...sounds like a long passageway that might have lots of awnings on it, but I wouldn't think of awnings first off when I hear 'pavilion'

And I kinda think he is right that there is another word for it.

I just can’t remember it right now.

@Aerovistae or I could be wrong. what's the context?

An awning is typically make of cloth?

@tchrist You too? It's an epidemic.

Is 'epidemic' the word?

@Cerberus Is it?

Not sure.

Or some pliable material.

@Cerberus yeah.

over a shop front.

Not bricks.

to keep out the sun...that you can fold up easily.

Yeah.

or roll up wih a ...

with a thingy

> roof-like covering of canvas or similar material, used as a shelter from sun, rain, etc.; esp. above the deck of a vessel.

Oh, I guess it is.

Yes.

whoa...really? on a boat?

Once Mitch is done teaching me Dutch, I will teach you English.

Yeah. Your Dutch sucks. It's so bad, it almost sounds ...

almost sounds like English.
