12:30 AM
how deep is it?
 
Don’t know. That was earlier today.
But not too long ago.
 
Here we have the opposite, desert dry, was 27C last weekend. That is much above normal.
could mean heavy rains later as the ocean is probably warmer than normal but I'm no expert
It has been sunny since March
 
12:54 AM
@JohanLarsson We had 99 before this hit.
Honest question: Why do some people find it acceptable to use garbage when using text messages?
 
how do you mean?
 
This guy:
-1
A: Should I use "is" or "are" in this sentence?

akash_sinha13134you should use "is", because the word "everything" is singular in itself and the helping verb "is/are" will be pointing to the word "everything" before the word "gone", i hope this clears your doubt, you can also see the links.. http://www.englishforums.com/English/EverythingSingularPlural/nqb...

Pre-edit it was even worse.
> you should use "is" bcoz the word "everything" is singular in itself and the helping verb "is/are" will be pointing to the word "everything" before the word "gone".. hope this clears your doubt.. u can also see the links..
And he seeks to justify it by claiming that’s how “everybody” writes things on text messages.
But that is not true.
I don’t understand the perspective.
I, my family, and everybody I communicate with via phone text messages always use real English, just as Kristina Lopez does.
Why is it considered trendy to come off as an illiterate boob?
Or worse.
 
Yooo.
 
f i wntd 2 pst stf lk ths thn i cld alwyz do tht bt ppl wld jst h8 me.
 
It has been raining here too, for the past week.
But probably not as much as in your exotic realm!
 
1:01 AM
I'm really sloppy when chatting, try to write better text messages.
 
How much total?
 
No idea.
Hello Sweden!
 
If it ain’t up to your elbow, don’t worry about it.
In other words, a cubit.
 
@tchrist do you think hip-hop can explain it's trendiness?
 
1:03 AM
I have no idea. I’m white.
Are your windmills pumping water?
 
like Eminem?
 
I also don’t do pop “culture”.
 
@JohanLarsson Hey, what does tja mean?
Here it means something like "hmm" or "well".
 
@Cerberus rarely written, it means hello.
 
bcs aprntly f i dd thn evrythng i typd wld cm owt lk ths & thr wld B ppl tkng owt cntrcts on my lyf
 
1:06 AM
@tchrist I think almost all windmills are no longer in operation. Some are, but we've switched to other pumps since the Industrial rev.
@JohanLarsson Ahhh OK. It does not mean that in Dutch.
@tchrist So what's your graph?
 
What graph?
I have no graph.
Or are you asking about my writing?
 
Precipitation over the past couple of days.
 
Ah.
 
We've had one sunny day since the 10th, but the other days, including today, have been very rainy...
 
@Cerberus have you been riding your bike?
 
1:08 AM
I'm wet now.
 
Some places have had like 18 inches. We had 15 inches yesterday.
18 inches being of course one cubit.
 
@JohanLarsson It was stolen, alas.
In a day? How much is that in cm?
 
That makes two of us, the bastards.
 
Probably more than our 44 mm?
 
Ask Gugle if you can’t do it in your head.
 
1:08 AM
I'm drunk.
 
macbook# units '15 inches' mm
	* 381
	/ 0.0026246719
Or just type it in.
 
Ah, 38 mm = 15 inches.
 
WRong.
 
@Cerberus I had a Kriek
 
So we've had more rain...but we're used to it, so it doesn't count.
 
1:10 AM
You missed a decimal point.
381 mm is 15 inches.
 
@JohanLarsson Was ist das?
 
An inch is 2.54cm
cm
25.4mm
 
Drunkards round.
 
Sickards.
 
@Cerberus cherry beer, not as gross as it sounds. Gf buys it at times
 
1:11 AM
Haven’t drunk a drop.
 
Kriek lambic is a style of Belgian beer, made by fermenting lambic with sour Morello cherries. The name is derived from the Flemish word for this type of cherry (kriek). Traditionally "Schaarbeekse krieken" (a rare Belgian Morello variety) from the area around Brussels are used. As the Schaarbeek type cherries have become more difficult to find, some brewers have replaced these (partly or completely) with other varieties of sour cherries, sometimes imported. Traditionally, kriek is made by breweries in and around Brussels using lambic beer to which sour cherries (with the pits) are added...
 
Yes, that one. It’s marvellous.
 
@JohanLarsson Ohh I guess I may have heard of that.
 
Looks like a Simcity map.
 
1:16 AM
Notice how the area immediately to the west of Boulder is utterly different from the part to the east: it is bumpy and forested.
 
Why didn't you build the town a little more to the west?
 
The forest actually helps, but the burn zone is a problem.
We did.
That one is intuitively called Nederland, being almost a mile higher, like.
 
But anyway, it's interesting that apparently the entire northern hemisphaere has had heavy rainfall at the same time.
@tchrist Blasphemy!
 
Oh, not true.
 
Nederland has to be nederig.
 
1:17 AM
Youda thunk so, woodencha?
 
Quite so.
 
Makes you wonder what it’s nedering to.
Now you have me doing it, damn it.
 
By the way, nederig means "humble" in Dutch, not "low" as in German. Of course it once did mean low.
Nedering? That's nothing.
 
If Nederland is the nadir, what is the zenith?
 
That's probably Arabic or something...
 
1:19 AM
I have no answer, only the question.
 
So how come both you and we have had lots of rain this week?
 
Queenkeydinks.
That is not much rain.
I had 8.7x yours.
Yesterday.
 
Right.
In one day?
 
Yeah.
It was a problem.
 
That's 1m in one day?
 
1:20 AM
@Cerberus Autumn and variance is my best guess
 
More than 1m.
 
As I have been saying.
381mm
38cm
 
Our torrents only started on the 8th.
 
.38m
 
Is the water still rising?
 
1:21 AM
Uh...
 
Ours on 9/11. It’s a terrorist plot, I tell ya!
 
@tchrist cm is only to be used for curtains I think.
 
No, the creek is down a bit.
 
That's not 8.7 times 140.
 
lol
 
1:22 AM
Hey, it’s your dumb system not mine.
 
I found something funny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MJnm5X9NN0
If you live in a poor county in US then you have higher chance of becoming fat
=D...
 
I got 14.67" of rain yesterday before 6pm. You figure it out for yourself.
 
@JohanLarsson It is true that mm is used for rain, but it doesn't matter.
@tchrist So, yes, that is a lot more than we got yesterday, 8.7 times sounds accurate.
 
Wow but I am amazed about how food is really cheap in US... 2 Honey Buns for 1 dollar!! That's so intense!!
and 2 Macdonalds' burgers for 3 bucks!!
 
I stink of someone else's cologne. Bwah.
And I didn't touch anyone.
 
1:25 AM
.
@JasonMarsh but can you even buy something that is good?
 
This.
@JasonMarsh I think we have burgers for € 1 here too!
Huh, it says I got the Yearling badge for the second time.
 
@JohanLarsson Like healthy food?
 
or tasty
 
According to the video, if you live in a poor neighbourhood you don't have access to those fresh food stores!!
 
did not watch it yet, in the middle of another one
 
1:30 AM
@JasonMarsh It is the same everywhere in the West: poor people are fatter.
 
@Cerberus What kind of burgers are they? But in US, I think burgers like Filet-O-Fish or BigMac cost 1 dollar. I'm assuming if you don't live in US then probably only small burgers (such as Cheese burger) are 1 dollar
 
how big is a bigmac?
 
@JasonMarsh I don't know, probably a regular kind of burger. I rarely buy them.
Artist has had herself sterilised because of the state of world, not enough food to feed the entire population in the future.
@tchrist Have you lost power?
 
@Cerberus it was a browser crash the last time
 
Ah.
How prosaic.
 
1:38 AM
power failure is pretty likely though
I speculated about other possible explanations also
 
Back.
 
I see.
 
@Cerberus She should just practice self-control.
It’s a lifestyle choice.
No need to maim yourself.
Browser.
Some sort of bombs in some of the twitter feed’s link.
 
She's an artist. You know what else she did?
 
I’m on Opera now, and no feed running either.
 
1:42 AM
She stuffed her dead cat and mounted it on a remote-controlled toy car.
She's kind of crazy, but in a respectable way.
 
@Cerberus You sure use a lot of letters to spell that word.
 
It only takes three: N-U-T.
Tell me more, tell me more....
Go ahead, ask me how I just did that.
twiddles thumbs
 
tell us
 
It was a retry/cancel that I ignored for a while, typing other stuff. Kept the orig timestamp, so when validated, inserted way above.
 
STOP THAT!
I wil so blow chow on you.
 
I didn't post the image directly.
 
Still pukilicious.
 
Icky.
Acky even.
 
1:46 AM
Is that really what a normal woman looks like?
 
And now, for my next trick. . . .
disinterests
Et voilà.
N U T J O B M O U S E
 
Is mouse used for pussy in English also?
 
What she's doing is challenging our hypocrisy: we kill pigs without giving the matter any thought, but our pets are holy.
I think she's nuts, but I also kind of respect her.
I think she claimed she actually killed her own cat to stuff it.
 
That makes her a complete lunatic if you ask me.
 
1:57 AM
LOL Samsung Engrish
 
@tchrist christ in a sidecar.
I want to be sterilised to be sterilised.
But I don't, because I'll be out of whack.
Also, it's very hard to get that done without having had a child first.
 
@JasonMarsh This can't be real!
 
@Cerb I follow an Instagram account called @humansofny (New York City). One of the people they posted today is an artist named Andres Serrano who made some controversial art.
> Andres Serrano (born August 15, 1950) is an American photographer and artist who has become notorious through his photos of corpses and his use of feces and bodily fluids in his work, notably his controversial work "Piss Christ", a red-tinged photograph of a crucifix submerged in a glass container of what was purported to be the artist's own urine.
Several years ago when I took Composition II, we studied and wrote about an essay called 'Guiliani Vows to Cut Subsidy Over "Sick" Art' and HONY's post immediately made me think of that essay.
 
2:14 AM
Nice.
Using one's own urine is similar.
Although the political message is less clear.

Tinkebell looks hotter.
What a stupid mayor btw.
 
Heh.
He ain't mayor anymore.
 
Oh, good.
I mean, what does he care if people want to look at shit?
 
His big issue was the Virgin Mary stained with elephant dung.
 
2:21 AM
Why?
 
Because he's all god-fearing and stuff, I guess.
 
It's very primitive to care about that. It is the inability to distinguish between symbols and reality.
So, yes, it is like some primitive forms of religion.
 
> The Mayor, who has seen the show's catalogue but not the exhibition itself, derided the works of art generally as ''sick stuff.'' But he singled out the portrait of the Virgin Mary as particularly offensive.

''You don't have a right to government subsidy for desecrating somebody else's religion,'' he said. ''And therefore we will do everything that we can to remove funding for the Brooklyn Museum until the director comes to his senses and realizes that if you are a government-subsidized enterprise, then you can't do things that desecrate the most personal and deeply held views of people
 
Caveman.
 
Good job of keeping church and state separate, eh?
 
2:24 AM
It is like the child who thinks something stops exiting once you throw a blanket over it, or who thinks people can't see him any more if he closes his eyes.
Symbol ≠ reality.
 
Thought ≠ object.
 
You're gilding the lily.
 
That's a nice expression.
 
Nice and secular.
 
2:25 AM
Uhuh.
Perhaps some people who think a soul is made of soul-stuff also think a thought can affect soul-stuff, and a symbol can affect thought.
 
I don't like that we provide answers to people who aren't old enough to ask the questions.
 
Heh.
 
And I would bet that Giuliani was indoctrinated early on, and just has the Fear of God® in him.
 
Maybe build in an age-check?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Ohh spooky.
> In the latter half of the 19th century, “patent sharks” asserted dubious patents on mechanical devices. Then, as now, the problem arose because large numbers of poorly defined patents were granted, making it difficult for businesses to avoid inadvertently infringing.

> The problem was with patents that were granted for trivial ornamental design improvements to mechanical devices (now, the problem is with patents on software and business methods). The patent sharks initially went after the railroads. Then, in the 1870s, the sharks went after farmers, claiming that ordinary farm tools viol
Such a strange country. I had no idea this crazy problem was that old.
 
Yes, yes we are strange.
Founded by Puritans.
 
2:33 AM
You that's related to patents?
Treating thoughts as objects?
 
I'm not sure about that.
BRB
 
Hmm.
 
2:48 AM
Okay.
Did you see how someone defaced Piss Christ in a French museum (perhaps the Louvre, I will look) with a hammer?
O hai, Jasper.
 
user87637
Hey corn!
 
Hi!
No?
*Louvre
 
Thank you.
I like eggs.
 
...
 
So ... can you imagine feeling so angry about it that you deface it?
You'd be, let's see, defacing an icon.
So many feelings!
@Cerberus l'oeuve. l'oeuf. oeuf.
Sorry.
I know a thimbleful of French.
So. Weather's good?
No fires or excessive rain?
 
3:02 AM
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 I suppose I could...but still.
Imagine someone displayed a piece of art that propagated the killing of Jews and blacks on your town square.
And you knew the artist actually felt that way.
It wasn't some sort of shocking people on purpose or irony.
Would you deface it?
 
waits
 
I thought they liked crucifixes.
checks plural
 
Good evening!
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Correct!
@Mahnax Good evening!
 
3:10 AM
I just wanted to point out that defacing what you believe to be a defacement of your idol, that's like killing to show that killing is wrong.
@Mahnax Good evening!
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Hmm.
 
How are you all doing?
 
Oh, defacing crucifixes.
 
I… see.
 
You know.
 
3:11 AM
@Cerberus Speak for yourself! I was making friendship bracelets.
 
Oh oops.
 
Aw, how nice.
 
How are you?
passes out friendship bracelets
 
lowers paw, walks away from crucifix
 
Oh, I'm very well, thank you.
 
3:12 AM
Ohhh!
How was it?
Tell us EVERYTHING!!!
 
I'm deleting a line just so I can be part of the group.
Yay!
No 2...and we missed no 1!
 
Yes, I'd say so. Not so much that we're the same person or anything.
@Cerberus Yep!
 
Well, that's good.
 
Cool!
 
3:14 AM
Yeah! Fun times.
 
Hooray!
This calls for the clown.
 
Oh, not again.
Ehm, no.
 
Noooo not the clown!
Ah OK.
 
That was… ages ago.
Or something :)
 
Indeed.
I didn't think it would be.
So how did you manage to arrange no. 1?
Did you just ask?
Ohh wow!
Great.
 
3:16 AM
Rather. And, of course, I happened to be rather fond of her at the time, so that worked out nicely.
 
I remember you were talking about something in a suspicious way with...I think it was Matt. I knew it had to be...this.
 
Hm?
When?
 
A few days ago?
 
Or maybe it was...I don't know.
Jasper?
 
3:17 AM
Link?
 
I have it not.
 
Well.
 
Ohh wait.
 
Agreed.
 
What happened to arranged marriages? Preferably several years in advance.
So still a little bit confusing, huh?
Deleting messages is fun btw.
 
3:19 AM
Heh, not really. Things are pretty clear, I think.
 
Oh good.
 
Yeah, it makes me feel Edgy and Mysterious.
 
And me.
So...you know what we would like to ask, but daren't.
 
Oh, psh. No.
 
Heh.
Noted.
 
3:21 AM
Lemme send you an e-mail real quick.
 
Yay!
 
Is hotmail okay?
 
Sure, I'll open it.
 
So, there you have it.
 
Ah! My finger was already hurting from pressing F5.
 
3:23 AM
Goodness.
Silly doggie.
Anyways, bedtime. I work early tomorrow.
See y'all later!
 
'plied.
@Mahnax Good night!
You may disregard my drunk reply, of course.
Although I'm halfway towards sober already.

Hello everybody! Help me please, why should we use present simple "wins" in this example from Hewings' Advanced Grammar in Use "Jones has said that he will retire from athletics. He wins gold at the next Olympics."
