12:01 PM
a nice username :P
 
Lovely Oxymoron - TheSilentBang ?
 
@AwalGarg what wrong with "awal.garg", then?
 
@MattЭллен nothing!
 
so then you have your answer
 
but, there is nothing right with it even
 
12:07 PM
try to articulate why you don't like it
 
cus, its plain!
 
I think it's rather mountainy.
 
why? (and what does that mean?)
 
Awal even looks like a mountain.
 
in my locale, it means, second to none!
 
12:10 PM
Also, if you pick a "cool" address now, you will regret it later.
 
why? (that seems valid actually)
 
Mine is bigpenis@gmail.com, and somehow I can't get my boss or revenue office to write to it.
 
nope, I could have thought of such by myself. Thats why I came here, one that I won't regret...
 
Also, I've come to realize it's uncool and childish. I should have went with hugepenis@gmail.com. Too bad.
A decision I now regret.
@AwalGarg but you will regret it anyway, that's the point.
Cool is in the eye of the beholder, and you today is not the same beholder as you of tomorrow.
 
I didn't get it - huge pen is at gmail.com? the stationery shop near my house has huge pens
 
12:13 PM
my youtube name used to be arsebadger, a decision I regretted until I was allowed to change it because of the youtubegoogle merger
 
Oh, so you are tittycoyote now?
We talked just the other day, on that Justin B video.
 
is there someway I can check at once if the username is available at all major sites or not?
@RegDwigнt what is that?
 
there is no way to check
 
12:15 PM
you have to check individually
now there's a link I don't want to follow
 
@MattЭллен yeah you visit your user profile often enough as is.
 
the funny thing is, my youtube profile has a different name but the same location
 
please tell me what is tittythat thing..?
 
it's nicer than an arsebadger
 
It is Matt's user name on YouTube. Pay attention thirty bucks.
 
12:18 PM
!!afk
 
@AwalGarg Stay safe.
 
12:33 PM
I am now "blue".

@MattЭллен Yes, absolutely
 
hmm. can I make it to echo something without referencing me?

@AwalGarg "like that. it's not refering to me"
 
no, it should not refer to anyone

no, you can't do that
 
so bad!

totally worth it
 
1:35 PM
Hi.
 
How are you?
 
Bit tired, but OK :) How are you?
 
I have a headache.
 
oh dear.
a stress headache?
 
1:40 PM
I think it's the weather.
Again.
 
a storm brewing?
 
Low pressure system, high pressure job.
 
is it coming to a head about you and your meeting with the contractor?
 
1:42 PM
See what you did?
 
@KitFox ah! you're looking after the child from the Omen
@KitFox what? I warned you!
 
Damn. I forgot I need this time to prepare for the next meeting.
 
quick! start preparations!
 
I’m supposed to be filling out this self-evaluation too.
 
just evaluate yourself as amazing and move on :D
 
1:49 PM
"Amazing" — Matt Ellen, Place-where-Matt-works
"10 out of 10" — Sheriff Anders, Trenton Police Department
 
see? easy peasy
 
"Can't get her out of my mind!" — Kit's Mom, Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Hospital
(I could only be so lucky)
 
@tchrist I am saying I have no immunity to cuteness.
 
what you need are buckets. when you see something cute, put a bucket on it. this neutralises the cuteness. unless you find buckets cute, in which case you'll need a bucket for the bucket.
 
1:56 PM
"Honey, where are all the bags?" "In the bag hutch!" "No shit?"
 
@MattЭллен could've used a bucket yesterday, when I was accosted by a really cute cat on the street.
 
Buckets! always be prepared.
 
Are you OK?
 
I left my bucket at home
all I have is this cup
it's not big enough to cover a cat
 
A very small cat.
 
2:03 PM
@RegDwigнt want.
 
I think I am accidentally designing a data model.
 
yes, it would work well against a young kitten
 
Don’t hide your light beneath a bushel.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 I like the upholstery.
 
Use a bucket! Unless you're using a see through bucket. Then it would be less effective than a bushel.
 
2:05 PM
@KitFox I'm not sure that I do.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 So did you commit to the flash fiction series? Neill needs to know. I read in the Overlook.
 
@KitFox Yes, I'm okay, except for a lingering feeling that I should get a cat.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 That will pass. Try watching laughing baby videos.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 maybe you can combnie your four bunnies into a cat
 
@KitFox I'm holding the feeling at bay by imagining how much I'd hate to have cat hair in my lego.
 
2:07 PM
And then they'll bat around the small pieces until you will never find them.
 
@MattЭллен oh, good idea. Or I could get this:
 
yeah :D
 
Oh! I need to pick a LEGO set for my soon-to-be 4-year-old. I would also like to give him a video game.
 
@KitFox no can do. Not with that deadline.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Better tell him then.
Kthx.
 
2:09 PM
@Reg Гэндальф like you’ve never seen him.
 
Gandalf?
yay! I can almost read Russian sounds
 
Super cool.
 
@KitFox checkmark.jpg
 
Aren’t those a hoot?
 
Makes me want to start embroidering.
 
2:14 PM
That's okay, I didn't need to sleep tonight:
"Neque Mordor simpliciter ingredi."
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Where did you find the inscription on that one? The one where Merry and Éowyn put the kabash on the Witchking has a little angel flying a pennant with Hail Victor and Victoria, or something like that.
 
@tchrist It was in the comments. :x
 
Ah.
You get the reference, right?
 
Pretty sure it’s meant to be the catchphrase One does not simply walk into Mordor.
 
2:19 PM
Yeah.
Is it proper Latin?
 
Well, Mordor has no (non-nominative) case inflection, and as a place you walk into, you would think it would.
But down the path lies a world of woe.
Oh, we have a new meta on the acceptability of farting in normal conversation.
 
2:34 PM
Six is the magic number.
 
But one is the loneliest.
 
24 is the biggest
 
42 is the answerest.
 
@MattЭллен Yay!
@tchrist presses button
 
2:37 PM
is confused
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 50 is.
U.S. Route 50 (US 50) is a transcontinental highway in the United States, stretching from Sacramento, California, in the west to Ocean City, Maryland, on the east coast. The Nevada portion crosses the center of state and was named The Loneliest Road in America by Life magazine in July 1986. The name was intended as a pejorative, but Nevada officials seized on it as a marketing slogan. The name originates from large desolate areas traversed by the route, with few or no signs of civilization. The highway crosses several large desert valleys separated by numerous mountain ranges toweri...
 
@tchrist you'd think that would attract tourism and end its woes.
 
Have you driven it?
I have. I don’t think “tourism” would fly there.
 
The only point of interest is a lone shoe-tree in the middle of nowhere. But then, everything there is in the middle of nowhere, with nary a tree to be seen.
 
2:39 PM
People descend on the Black Rock Desert once a year and create tourism.
 
’Twas for that very reason that I travelled US 50.
Annual pilgrimage.
 Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
 And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
 To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
 
And gaze upon bronzed breasticles
 
pictures a pile of gays stacked up atop the megabronze statuary of the Great Mother
 
Rather hot clamy palms
 
2:47 PM
One is but momentarily shocked upon first seeing topless ladies wandering through the murky midday twilight of the dust storms. That happens on the first day. By Burn Day, I promise you don't even notice it one bit.
So accustomed (acclimated?) to such do BRC’s denizens become that there is a sign on the bus into the village you can take to fetch forgotten supplies from the village store warning you to remember to don something more appropriate for the world without.
It is very easy for ladies to forget to cover up their boobies after a week of being free of any keepemfromfloppins.
However, cockshirting is just always wrong.
 
Me no like floppin'.
 
@tchrist what's wrong with it?
 
yeah
bottomless, for a man
 
Is that like cocksocking, another RCHP pastime?
Where does the shirt come in?
 
2:52 PM
on the top of the body
 
22 mins ago, by cornbread ninja 麵包忍者
giggles
 
I mean I imagine it'd be essential until you find someone to put suncream on your back
 
May 5 '13 at 16:14, by tchrist
What’s next, the battle for unfettered shirtcocking?
 
Ok fine, so it’s shirtcocking not cockshirting. Goose. Gander.
 
apparently it's #cockshirting on twitter :D
probably both
but I only checked the one
 
should not have clicked on tchrist's link on work pc
 
yeah, I was thinking that, but meh, too late now!
 
My boys like shirtcocking.
 
2:57 PM
@Matt this is a bit funny/sad :)
> The WPF team has recently reviewed this issue and will not be addressing this issue as at this time the team is focusing on the bugs impacting the highest number of WPF developers. I
Not like it is many minutes to fix it
 
maybe, but it's still got to go through the whole test cycle
 
unless they have designed the framework around it as a feature :)
yeah, valid point
 
but it is a silly mistake to have in the first place :D
did you show me the bug report the other day?
 
@MattЭллен The interesting thing is that the gerund’s subject always comes first in an -ing compound turned into a noun: kite-flying, face-painting, habit-forming, acid-neutralizing, back-pedalling, badger-baiting, blood-letting, bum-sucking, cat-sitting.
So does one shirt the cock or cock the shirt?
 
difficult to say
ponders
 
3:04 PM
The shirt isn't meant to cover the cock, eh?
 
no idea :D
 
You clearly cock the shirt. The shirt has a cock attached, not the cock with a shirt attached.
 
They're disconnected.
This perturbs me the way pantsing does. Clearly, it should be depantsing.
 
Of course, that's highly subjective. If you view the person as a cock first, and clothed second, it probably works the other way around.
 
Well, that's just sexist.
 
3:06 PM
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 debagging

It is a very productive construction.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Shirt with a cock below, not cock wearing a shirt, is what I'm saying.
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 debagging == pantsing
 
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 In a discussion about shirtcocking? Really?
 
3:08 PM
Naturally
 
@tchrist Because what Matt said.
@KitFox yeah. I agree with that.
 
Despite all the hurt I am still just a cock in a shirt
 
But unless the cock is actively engaged with the shirt, I don't think it can be compared to things like acid-neutralizing, blood-letting, or cat-sitting.
 
Oddly, that reminds me that my littlest has started reading.
 
Yes, that is odd.
 
3:10 PM
what is he reading?
 
@MattЭллен A man is but the way sperm reproduces itself.
 
"My dick . . . made another dick."
 
@MattЭллен Where is the green sheep?, Biscuit visits the big city, some others like that.
 
@KitFox biscuit is a dog!
 
3:12 PM
Yep! He likes the "woof, woof" parts.
 
Biscuit. Wuh. Wants. to. Play? WOOF WOOF!
Biscuit sees. His fluffy? His friend. Sam. WOOF WOOF!
LET'S PLAY, SAM! WOOF WOOF!
 
Ah, if only they would print English books in phonemic IPA.
Not phonetic, of course.
Think of the children!
No more Bisquick Quandaries.
 
You can imagine the all caps bits in a three-year-old voice, with much excited volume and bouncing on the bed.
 
:D awww
 
3:16 PM
"When we see 'y' at the end of a word, sometimes it's eee and sometimes it's i. Which do you think this one is?"
"Tree?"
"Damn."
This is why I'm not a literacy teacher.
 
literally
 
Well, in that case we read "tree" in context and ask ourselves if that makes sense there. Then we try it the other way and see if that makes more sense.
 
The basic problem with shirtcocking is that it makes no sense, neither fashionista sense nor physical sense. And just think what a hayday Health&Safety would have it with it! Honestly, if you are going to wear but one garment, you want it to cover your butt so you can more comfortably sit down on a bike seat or wherever. So for your unigarment, you should wear speedos or a sarong or whatnot.
 
I agree.
It's about not getting sand in your bits.
 
but if you want to be naked but haven't done your back yet, you need a shirt for the moment
it makes sense in the short term
 
3:21 PM
Done your back?
 
with suncream
 
Is that a guy thing?
Oh.
 
I don’t think so.
 
I thought ...
 
3:21 PM
Oh, you mean if no one to help you can be found.
 
Never mind what I thought.
 
Still, so lame.
 
@tchrist yes, exactly
I'm fairly fair so I burn quickly
 
In a city with 50,000 mad ravers, trust me, help is never far from hand.
 
I don't like it
 
3:22 PM
I caricature, but you get the idea.
 
@MattЭллен yeah sunburn is a problem. But guys walking around the desert with their cock hanging out might not be concerned with burning. Or, not as concerned as they should be.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 yeah, I guess
 
Why have Apple decided we need a Brave New Programming Language?
 
but I wouldn't go about with just a shirt without a practical reason
 
I'm like you, I don't tan, I burn. And that's why my bare cock will likely never be seen for long periods of time in the sun.
@tchrist cuz Objective-C is teh too hardz
 
3:25 PM
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 My only unpleasant experience in that regard is that I forgot to apply sunscreen to my waist-line, and the place where the sarong tied on would tend to migrate during the day, letting in just enough sun to where it had never shone as to cause pain the next day.
 
Also because they wanted to allow you to use emoji variable names, evidently.
 
hi
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 But emoji are in neither ID_Start nor ID_Continue, nor XID_Start nor XID_Continue!

@tchrist Are you quoting from the language spec, or something? I'm just parroting what people put on google-plus here. Don't try to win this argument with facts! I have a screenshot!

From Apple's site:
> Identifiers begin with an upper case or lower case letter A through Z, an underscore (_), a noncombining alphanumeric Unicode character in the Basic Multilingual Plane, or a character outside the Basic Multilingual Plan that isn’t in a Private Use Area. After the first character, digits and combining Unicode characters are also allowed.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 So, inquiring minds want to know: Is G+ more like F− or A♭?
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Horry Clap!
 
That’s just so wrong.
What the hell was wrong with XID_Start?
They’re on crack.
And mescaline.
 
"noncombining alphanumeric Unicode character" doesn't include digits?
@tchrist I think it's spelt Mac
 
@MattЭллен They’re being floppy with their defs. This is why we have two different properties, ID_Start vs ID_Continue.
 
3:39 PM
I see
 
Not however that underscore is not in ID_Start, nor dollar in ID_Continue, yet these two additions are often added to the set for many programming languages.
I think Java uses $ internally in external identifiers to slap on the class name or some such malarky. Meforgets.
 
yeah, c# does something similar for generics
I mean .NET
toodloo
 
There are many characters in ID_Continue that are forbidden from ID_Start
macbook# unichars '\p{ID_Continue}' '\P{ID_Start}' | wc -l
    1539
Mostly digits and combining marks.
Hah, if you strike those out, there is nearly nothing left in the BMP:
 
@tchrist Wait. Unicode approved a pile of poo glyph, but couldn't be bothered to get the standard banking symbols right that go on checks?

Apparently Unicode has its head up its ass, almost literally.
 
@MετάEd Check v7.
 
@tchrist I (and others) reported the problem and it was "corrected" in 6.1, but their own policy prevented them from making a complete correction. Standard check symbols will always, according to Unicode, have the wrong names in the standard, for "compatibility".
I don't expect a change in policy so I don't expect v7 to get it right either.
 
@MετάEd Ok right. That’s the name alias issue.
You can’t change something’s name.
It’s guaranteed stable.
You can only add an alias to it.
And hope people stop using the other one.
 
@tchrist Right. Even when it was always flat wrong you can't change the name. What? "A" isn't "LETTER B"? Well, fine, but we can't change that. Ever.
 
See NameAliases.txt.
 
3:47 PM
Yes, I know about the aliases.
 
This is hardly the first time they’ve fucked up.
 
Do you guys organize games here?
 
@tchrist Based on my experience I find that really, really easy to believe.
 
This is 6.3:
macbook# grep correction NameAliases.txt
# The Type labels used are: correction, control, alternate, figment, abbreviation
01A2;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER GHA;correction
01A3;LATIN SMALL LETTER GHA;correction
0709;SYRIAC SUBLINEAR COLON SKEWED LEFT;correction
0CDE;KANNADA LETTER LLLA;correction
0E9D;LAO LETTER FO FON;correction

0EA5;LAO LETTER LO;correction
0FD0;TIBETAN MARK BKA- SHOG GI MGO RGYAN;correction
2118;WEIERSTRASS ELLIPTIC FUNCTION;correction
“Figment”? :)
I don’t see your symbols in the 6.3 Aliases.
 
@tchrist This is 6.0:
2446 OCR BRANCH BANK IDENTIFICATION
= transit
2447 OCR AMOUNT OF CHECK
2448 OCR DASH
= on us
2449 OCR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT NUMBER
= dash
@tchrist If one were to leave the glyphs as is and correct the descriptions, it should have been:
2446 MICR E13B TRANSIT SYMBOL
= R-T symbol
= routing-transit symbol
= routing number symbol
= transit symbol
2447 MICR E13B AMOUNT SYMBOL
= amount symbol
2448 MICR E13B ON-US SYMBOL
= On-Us symbol
2449 MICR E13B DASH SYMBOL
= dash symbol
I was going to go back again and see what they actually did in 6.1 but this link unicode.org/Public/6.1.0/charts/blocks/U2440.pdf is no longer any good. So I'm going to have to dig for it.
