Hi @Sudhir
 
Why you didn't come at the morning time?
 
I was eating breakfast.
 
Ok.
I was searching but no one appeared to me.
 
I see the fences, but where are the guns?
 
6:04 PM
Hahaha.
Actually, we have lots of fences everywhere.
And we kill people with drugs and STDs here, thankyouverymuch.
 
Really @KitFox, where the hell were you this morning. Breakfast is pretty poor excuse.

Yeah, I was wonder about that too.
 
@Cerberus slow deaths, victimless?
 
We prefer to call them more painful.
 
@KitFox: My city's beauty
 
6:07 PM
@Mitch Victimless, except for the dead victims.
 
@Sudhir Are you looking for a religious moment or something?
@Mitch I know. The nerve of some people
 
Yes
 
Mitch, why are you not pinging me with every single line, and telling me the same stories over and over again?
 
I think my comment just made a loud whoosh
 
I mean, @Micth @Mitch.
 
6:08 PM
And where were you this morning @Creb @Cebr @Cerb
 
I was asleep. I'm very, very sorry.
 
:9073663
 
Atattack! Atattack! Atattack!
 
I won't happen again, except tomorrow.
 
@Cerberus again
 
6:09 PM
@KitFox:How's it?
 
And tomorrow and tomorrow.
 
But you're supposed to be here when I want you!
 
@Cerberus I have my speaker off..was I supposed to get two for that?
 
@Simmochina How are you?
 
@Cerberbunny I'm good. Do you have Facebook?

6:09 PM
Simuladorata.
 
@Mitch I was hoping you might.
 
@simchona haha
 
@simchona which comment?
 
@simchona No, but I do have ten Myspaces.
 
Ourspaces.

@Sudhir Are you looking for a religious moment or something?
 
@simchona:yes
 
@Mitch @Mitch Do you have Myspace?
And how about Myspace?
 
Ergo, @Mitch, the whoosh has returned.
 
Spacecake, then?
 
Please!! Not while the children are watching!!!
@Cerberus There’s a whole lotta that going around today here.
 
6:11 PM
@simchona:How you find it?
 
@tchrist Nice, huh.
 
So do you use the word space cake?
 
No.
 
@Sudhir dude, you can reply directly to the comment by using the downarrow on rollover and 'reply to this message'.
 
6:12 PM
@Sudhir No idea what you're trying to ask.
 
Well, sometimes.
3 mins ago, by tchrist
Atattack! Atattack! Atattack!
 
@Sudhir Please stop posting random photos.
 
OK.
 
I'm asking about the pics of my city.
 
@simchona or I can't read well.
 
6:13 PM
@Sudhir I haven't seen you ask a question. Just spam.
 
@Cerb Our pot stores here do sell things they call spacecakes.
 
@Mitch You could go to Zoolander's School for Children Who Want to Read Good and Do Other Things Good Too
 
@tchrist you live in Amsterdam?
 
Hamsterdam
 
@tchrist Huh?
 
6:15 PM
You asked if we call them spacecakes.
 
What are they?
Cannabis foods (including hash brownies and space cakes), more informally known as edibles, are food products made with cannabis in herbal or resin form as an ingredient. They are consumed as an alternate delivery means to experience the effects of cannabinoids without smoking marijuana or hashish. Instead, the cannabinoids are put into cake, cookie, brownie, or other foods, and are consumed for recreational or medicinal purposes. Nomenclature There are many different names and slang terms for the recipes. Prefixes such as edibles, hash, cannabis, weed, space, cosmic, freaky, magic, s...
 
Yes.
Those.
 
Ohh I read pet stores.
Haha.
 
@Sudhir what are you asking about them?
 
Please do not stone your puppy.
 
6:15 PM
washes out eyes with soap
 
@simchona this script is extremely useful ime, it lets you collapse messages in chat (pics, oneboxes etc.)
 
Ouch.
 
@Cerberus that does not sound comfortable reminder for CIA babysitting
 
Why do I keep doing this? Back to hospital for me. Again.
 
@JohanLarsson Oh, awesome. Thank you!
 
6:16 PM
@Mitch Sure, I could use some babysitting.
@JohanLarsson Wow, nice.
 
@simchona I don't know if you have such powers as a mod but this should be integrated in chat imo. It would be nice to be able to set all pics collapsed as default.
Remember to upvote it, Travis is a super nice guy
 
@JohanLarsson I don't have the power myself, but you can suggest it on MSO as a site-wide feature
 
I have it as a bookmarklet so it is easy to start
 
@Cerberus with soap in your eye...really?
 
I want to see all pics.
@Mitch Why not?
 
6:19 PM
I want to see all pics for a while, collapse them when I have seen them
 
They run off the screen anyway.
 
off to GameStop. BBL
 
Oh?
What are you going to get?
 
@Cerberus yeah but I'm on craptop here, limited resolution

A: Reporting a serial downvoting!

Shog9 You see after being about 3 months here, one or more users are going to your profile and finding all your questions and answers and because they do not like one of your questions or answers or your personality, they commit to downvote all your questions and answers from 3 months ago to now! ...

 
6:21 PM
@tchrist I think everything is clear here with very easy and correct sentences. Sorry I cannot help you more. I leave it here for somebody who can get it. Good Dreams! :) — Persian Cat 6 hours ago
 
Oh, I saw that one alright.
It’s kind of self-skewering.
 
It's still pretty cool to me that I can sit outside at my picnic table and still chat online on my laptop.
 
@KitFox And work on your Facebook?
Can I have link?
 
Although it seems I need to move a few feet south.
@simchona Sure
It's surprisingly mild now that the wind has abated somewhat and the watery sun is out.
It's definitely improving my mood.

Yeah, I may have had a discussion about her in the TL a short while ago.
She has made quite a name for herself in the few months she's been suspended a user on SE.
 
So it seems it is not just on ELU.
 
Nope.
At least two other sites.
 
Muy muy nutty.
-2 for what? OMG! Thanks people and mods! I have no more question as I got my answer. I think it is the most valid evidence which proves the validity of second answer of mine to my own question about the flight 655! The same reaction and logic. Amazing! :)) — Persian Cat Apr 5 at 17:12

Q: Why are all women titled as Mrs. on Iranian flight tickets and flight boarding cards?

Persian CatAs far as I remember myself and my female friends and female relatives and family members, all had the title Mrs. in front of our names and last names on the flight tickets and flight boarding cards in the national or international flights from Iran. Is there any Iranian/non-Iranian flight atte...

It is like something which some say about Arabian women who are all jobless and can't go out without their husbands' permissions and many rich Arabian men have Philippines or Russian sex workers in their houses! — Persian Cat 22 hours ago
Wow.
 
6:38 PM
@HaLaBi Sorry for my frank words but you have very wrong ridiculous information!There are many divorced and single women. At least in Tehran 2 marriages out of 10 turns to divorce after a while! Mut'ah is not popular in Iran and it is only through very religious people and happens rarely and has considered a kind of religious prostitution and hatred in Iranian culture.Furthermore,there is no registered Mut'ah in their ID cards and are not called married women.It is all rumor. — Persian Cat 22 hours ago

You can find many other sentences which are about his justice in behaving with people of occupied country.

A: Did the USA ever officially apologize for shooting down "Iran Air Flight 655" in 3 July of 1988?

Persian CatActually NO! According to wiki : The event triggered an intense international controversy, with Iran condemning the U.S. attack as a "barbaric act."

Yeah, let's have an orderly Q&A site about politics. Sure.
 
She clearly refused to reform.
@Cerberus Right, that’s what the religion sites are for.
 
6:47 PM
At least those sites are neatly ordered to contain people of the same mind.
> Animals that turn white in winter are having a mismatch with the reduced snowpack in their environments.
 
I still have snow.
 
Lucky bunnies.
 
I don’t know that we have any that change color.
Hm.
Oh apparently we do.
 
hare, grouse and ermine, does that in Sweden. Maybe a couple more that I forget
 
Yes, it is a hare, not a rabbit.
And it is only in the western part of my state. Perhaps that is why I did not realize it was here.
Here weasels and ptarmigans.
When the weasel is white in winter, it becomes an ermine.
The British call the same critter something else. Stoat maybe.
Grouse, too? Hm.
Or do you mean ptarmigan?
 
6:54 PM
yes, did not know that word until now (ripa and fjällripa) in Swedish
 
The White-tailed Ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura) is the smallest bird in the grouse family. It is a permanent resident of high mountains and is native to Alaska, Canada and the western United States. It has also been introduced into the Sierra Nevada in California, the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon and the Uinta Mountains in Utah. Its plumage is cryptic and varies at different times of the year. In the summer it is speckled in gray, brown and white whereas in winter it is wholly white. The White-tailed Ptarmigan has a diet of buds, leaves, flowers and seeds. The nest is a simple depression in t...
 
(Lagopus lagopus & Lagopus muta)
 
> The Ptarmigan's genus name, Lagopus, is derived from Ancient Greek lagos (λαγως), meaning "hare", + pous (πους), "foot", in reference to the bird's feathered legs (see also Snowshoe Hare). The species name leucura was for a long time misspelt leucurus, in the erroneous belief that the ending of Lagopus denotes masculine gender. However, as the Ancient Greek term λαγωπους is of feminine gender, and the species name has to agree with that, the feminine leucura is correct.
The Greeks had lakes of bunnies. Cool! (lago = lake in Spanish)
 
I spend quite some time with Lagopus every year as I'm a bird dog geek
 
I more commonly see the other grouse around here at lower elevations.
They can be really hard to see.
The Dusky Grouse (Dendragapus obscurus) is a species of forest-dwelling grouse native to the Rocky Mountains in North America. It is closely related to the Sooty Grouse (Dendragapus fuliginosus), and the two were previously considered a single species, the Blue Grouse. Description Adults have a long square tail, gray at the end. Adult males are mainly dark with a purplish throat air sac surrounded by white, and a yellow to red wattle over the eye during display. Adult females are mottled brown with dark brown and white marks on the underparts. Their breeding habitat is the edges of conif...
 
7:00 PM
Usually if it is sunshine they kind of glow, almost whiter than the snow
 
The ptarmigan tend to be found in the tundra, not the forest.
We also have prairie-chicken–like thingies:
The Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is the largest grouse in North America, where it is known as the Greater Sage-Grouse. Its range is sagebrush country in the western United States and southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. A population of smaller birds, known in the U.S. as Gunnison Sage-Grouse, were recently recognized as a separate species. The Mono Basin population of Sage Grouse may also be distinct. Adults have a long, pointed tail and legs with feathers to the toes. Adult males have a yellow patch over the eye, are grayish on top with a white breast, a dark brown th...
 
they can be found all the way to the sea in Sweden but most common in the mountains
 
The other one we have is quail.
The Scaled Quail (Callipepla squamata), also commonly called Blue Quail or cottontop, is a species of the New World quail family. It is a bluish gray bird found in the arid regions of the Southwestern United States to Central Mexico. This species is an early offshoot of the genus Callipepla, diverging in the Pliocene. This bird is named for the scaly appearance of its breast and back feathers. Along with its scaly markings, the bird is easily identified by its white crest that resembles a tuft of cotton. The nest is typically a grass-lined hollow containing 9–16 speckled eggs. When dist...
I don’t think we have partridges.
 
We have Orre Black grouse? Tjäder and Järpe Partridge and Pheasans in the south of Sweden
 
Yeah, partridges are old-world only.
Pheasants we sometimes have, but they are not native, I think.
The Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), is a bird in the pheasant family (Phasianidae). It is native to Asia and has been widely introduced elsewhere as a game bird. In parts of its range, namely in places where none of its relatives occur such as in Europe (where it is naturalized), it is simply known as the "pheasant". Ring-necked Pheasant is both the name used for the species as a whole in North America and also the collective name for a number of subspecies and their intergrades which have white neck rings. The word pheasant is derived from the ancient town of Phasis, the predeces...
> The Ring-necked Pheasant is the state bird of South Dakota, one of only three U.S. state birds that is not a species native to the United States.
 
7:11 PM
One of my dogs, if you look closely in the second pic you can see Lagopus Lagopus 200 mm in front of the dog :)
Then I have 10k more pics of dog & Lagopus :D
 
@tchrist Rare, but not a habit.
@tchrist Do scaled quail use bicubic resampling?
 
Spamming random winter pic also, did not spot Lagopus(s) but it/they are there
 
@JohanLarsson Cute!
@JohanLarsson Wintry!
 
@Cerberus that is what we call spring winter in the north of Sweden +5 in the days and -10 in the nights (maybe not that exact pic as the snow looks like it has been <0 for a while)
that season is sick nice
 
7:27 PM
Damn it, it’s going to 10 again on Tuesday. No chance of rain at that temperature.
More people dying due to flu. Not good.
 
we got summer in Sweden all the sudden, could ski a week ago, T-shirt weather today
 
Last spring was one of our hottest on record; I guess this will be one of our coldest.
@JohanLarsson Those are not mutually exclusive.
 
true but no snow left, instead flowers and shit starting to show :D
 
When you are missing two miles of air, the sun is very warm.
Still cold and wet when you fall down, though.
 
that is the type of day when the sun makes you very red. Especially since it is cloudy.
 
7:30 PM
@tchrist Which one is you?
 
@Robusto Neither. Random strangers.
My last ski pictures I am well-bundled.
But snowball fights are traditional on the Fourth of July in the high country here.
 
Last time I went skiing in the spring it got up to the high 60s (around 20 for you metricists). Couple of hot Asian chicks decided to ski in bikinis. Lotta faceplants that day.
 
So did @Matt actually answer the question?
 
What question?
 
3 hours ago, by tchrist
Is that statement true or false?
That question.
 
7:35 PM
Some say true, some say false. You want odds?
 
I want evens.
 
OK. Number is one. You lose.
 
@JohanLarsson The day the sun fails to make you red is the day you’ve stayed indoors.
 
I don't think it's a prevalent as David(?) makes out. more a London thing.
 
7:37 PM
Why do semi-normal people do this to themselves?
So extremely unattractive.
 
Because they are not semi-normal. Or normal, for that matter.
 
Yeah.
I suppose they aren't.
 
don't know if you heard that
 
Let me rephrase it, then. Why are crazy people crazy?
 
7:38 PM
because you have a narrow definition of sane :Þ
 
No definition of sane could ever include that...
goes back to counting his bitcoins
 
@MattЭллен ah. I never read on. I just saw you give tchrist the cold shoulder right away, can't be arsed to catch up on everything that came next.
 
And then there are the not extremely normal ones.
 
@Cerberus tattoos are rarely nice imo
 
@Robusto Waaahh...
@JohanLarsson They are never "nice". But small tattoos are often merely ugly.
 
7:40 PM
Go big or go home, I guess. I am at home now, sans tattoos.
 
The poor usedn't to be tacky.
It used to be a middle-class thing.
 
They ain't poor no mo'.
 
the rich, however, have always been judgemental
 
@Robusto Exactly.
@MattЭллен Absolutely.
Johan, can you roll up that image for me?
 
@MattЭллен if you are poor and judgemental you are a hater right?
 
7:42 PM
@MattЭллен Is there something wrong with being judgmental?
 
I can't look at it.
 
you! with your 2 bitcions
 
@Robusto He seems to be implying that it is.
 
@Cerberus Small tattoos are usually some hanzi the person thinks mean "life is like soft rain", while in reality they mean "I suck dicks for a living".
 
@Cerberus what image?
 
7:42 PM
@Robusto I'm not rich enough to hold an opinion on it
 
@RegDwighт Haha of course. But a sailor with a small, think anchor?
That used to be the way.
 
If you have to withhold judgment, you can't afford it.
 
A tramp stamp that was worn with dignity.
@JohanLarsson phew It's gone.
@MattЭллен You just did.
 
I have too much judgment to be able to withhold it. It's humanly impossible.
 
7:43 PM
hatin' is free
 
Haven't we all.
At least we're not judging each other for being judgemental, are we?
 
not without @KitFox
 
@Cerberus we are family
 
Sure.
 
@Cerberus I don't think you're being judgmental enough, while @Reg is way too judgmental. Me, I'm just mental.
 
7:45 PM
Dec 21 '11 at 14:37, by Kitḫ
Look, @MrShiny, I appreciate your candor, but I have taken the Myers-Briggs test, and "Judgmental" is my only defining characteristic.
 
@Robusto Can't argue with that.
Oh, she invested a lot of skill points into the Judgmental class.
 
Hey, what if the Christian notion of Judgment Day was actually Judgmental Day — you know, when God let you know what he thought of your clothing choices and all that?
 
I wonder if Judge Mental knows Judge Dredd
 
@Robusto Have no fear, all that is already included.
 
@MattЭллен Dredd's dead. Wait, he's only in prison.
 
7:47 PM
Mental Gear Solid.
 
Wesley Trent Snipes (born July 31, 1962) is an American actor, film producer, and martial artist, who has starred in numerous films, including action thrillers and dramatic features. Snipes is known for playing the Marvel Comics character Blade in the Blade film trilogy, among various other high-profile roles. Snipes formed a production company, Amen-Ra Films, in 1991 and a subsidiary, Black Dot Media, to develop projects for film and television. Snipes has been training in martial arts since age 12, earning a 5th dan black belt in Shotokan Karate and 2nd dan black belt in Hapkido. In ...
Wait, he was released a couple weeks ago.
Wait, I'm thinking of someone else. Never mind.
Judge Dredd was Sylvester Stallone, right?
 
I can't keep these over-muscled action heroes straight.
 
Stallone was in Demolition Man, I think, but was the cop.
 
I saw a trailer for Stallone's current flick when I was in Django.
 
7:49 PM
Snipes was the bad guy
 
Snipes was the Blade dude.
 
It was the worst trailer ever. I'd rather watch one for Twilight. Or Freaky Friday.
 
See? This proves I'm not racist. I can't tell the difference between black and white action heroes.
 
Which one is which?
 
7:50 PM
@Robusto oh so you're not including yellow action heroes, you racist?
Teenage Yellow Action Heroes.
 
@RegDwighт There aren't any of those.
 
@Robusto now now. Jet Li.
 
Jet Ski?
 
Yes yes.
 
We need EL&U Chat action figures. Then we would attract a following.
You know I'm right.
 
7:54 PM
These have a following of 1051. So you are right.
 
nod
 
@tchrist wow, all those examples of nutball batshit crazy. She's giving annoying people a bad name.
But some of those questions have reasonable points behind them, they're just not presented well.
 
Here's something from two years ago that ought to cheer up @Cerberus.
And I am out.
 
also, it's surprising how well tolerated her lack of felicity in English is tolerated...or maybe that's part of the reason why she's so easily downvoted.
 
A hack that kills?
Now that is awful!
Apple is anti-human!
 
8:02 PM
@Robusto Apple computers explode! Yay!
Today is a good day.
 
No they assplode your head. They don't assplode themselves. They only corrupt their battery.
So the next person can turn it in for repair, and then get killed.
It's a ponzi killing scheme.
 
Oh...well that's much better.
 
Yay!
> Implementing Miller’s “Caulkgun” prevents any other hacker from using the vulnerabilities he’s found. But it would also prevent Apple from using the battery’s default passwords to implement their own upgrades and fixes. Those who fear the possibilities of a hijacked chunk of charged chemicals in their laps might want to consider the tradeoff.
 
@Cerberus are you kidding? I don't 'get' those things. I'm just an enabler. some driving game.
 
People are so crazy. They would consider "might possibly not get battery firmware update" while sacrificing "computer cannot blow your head off".
The security scare.
 
8:06 PM
a battery's -password-? that seems over engineered.
 
Welcome to the world of tomorrow! Please enter password.
 
The significance of updating software is greatly overestimated, and the ability of security software and developers to prevent malware too.
@Mitch Ahh I see.
Wait, I didn't know you had kids?
 
8:38 PM
> A number of comments by Americans on social media mistaking the Czech Republic for the country of origin of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects— ethnic Chechen brothers — prompted the Czech ambassador to the United States to act.
 
For like a decade now I’ve wondered where one-off meaning one-time, one-shot, or unique thingie came from, and now I see that the OED labels it “originally and chiefly British”. Now I need to understand why act up seems to have recently taken a back seat to act out, which sounds too much like some sort of high-school play or fantasy rôle-playing adventure to me. OED says that one’s originally U.S. though it’s “new” to my ear in the last decade or so.
@RegDwighт Eep.
I know these Czech guys who run the Bohemian Brewpub here; I should ask them if they’ve had that.
Whoda thunk Czechia and Chechya are different places?
 
You'd know if you had czeched.
 
Lemme sheik out me mate.
> In 1993, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs suggested the name Czechia /ˈtʃɛkiə/ (Česko Czech pronunciation: [ˈtʃɛsko] in Czech) as an official alternative in all situations other than formal official documents and the full names of government institutions; however, this has not become widespread in English.
 
Tschechien is quite common in Germany.
 
You know, if only they had just chosen Václav or something, they wouldn’t be having this problem now.
 
8:44 PM
You can't havel your Vaclav and eat him, too.
 
> Czechs typically get one given name – additional names may be chosen by themselves upon babtism but they generally use one. With marriage, the bride typically adopts the bridebroom's surname. Surnames of women are declined in the fashion similar to creating a possessive form (inherently suggesting that a married woman now 'belongs' to her husband).
So Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Mary Smith’s?
 
I have a suspicion that that is stuff and nonsense.
For all I know they use the exact same system as in Russian, and many (most!) other Slavic languages.
 
That’s what I was wondering.
But do you have nothing but a forename and a surname, nothing else? No middle name(s)?
 
So it sure sounds to me like someone mistook the feminine adjective ending for something he had no better label for than "possessive form".
@tchrist there is no such thing as second or middle name. We have patronymicals.
 
Hm.
 
8:47 PM
It leaves no room for any second-name nonsense.
 
> For example, one would say Pavel kouše sendvič ("Paul bites a sandwich"), but Pes kouše Pavla ("A dog bites Paul") and Pes ukousl Pavlovi prst ("The dog bit Paul's finger off"). Unlike the very closely related Slovak language, Czech has a vocative case, a form of a word used only when calling or addressing someone. For instance, one would say, Pavle, pozor pes! (Paul, watch out for the dog!).
 
Russian has vocative.
I am surprised Slovak does not.
 
Your monarchs definitely have fewer names than ours.
 
If it's from the same source I prefer to be skeptical.
@tchrist one name, one patronymical, one surname. Exaclty like everyone else.
Well okay, some have double surnames.
Like I dunno, myself.
 
Is from same source.
 
8:49 PM
Then I choose to no longer listen to it.
 
Compare Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov with Albert Frederick Arthur George — and the latter without even a surname, it appears. Hm.
 
Well haven't I told you.
Not even a tsar can make room for a middle name. The country is vast, but room is limited.
 
Where did the British monarchs’ surnames go off to?
 
Well I thought the Windsors were still the Windsors.
So it's just stupid protocol that you can't call them Ms Windsor. But ignoring the protocol, you could.
 
I think they made a law so that she didn’t have to take hubby’s surname as her house.
The Spanish monarch has spare names. Perhaps he could lend some out. Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias
 
8:54 PM
Oh he's still the monarch?
I thought the people were fed up with him for good.
 
They are, but still.
Oh, I see the problem: Prince Philip’s house is “Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg”; no wonder they changed the rules.
