@Robusto There are actual previously undisclosed details here. We’ll see whether the studio tries a take-down like they did last year when he did this; I'd watch it now while you have the chance.
@terdon ^^^^^^ You, too, if you've been keeping up with Game of Thrones on HBO.
 
@Mitch OK. I will further loosen the association between dumping and defecating in my mind. Thanks.
 
@Robusto Donkeys don't meow.
 
@Robusto that, suh, is one maghty innuhresting animal you got theah!
@Færd yeah, just dump it
@terdon good to know if I ever learn Spanish
 
12:24 AM
@Mitch I actually read the Spanish and French newspapers about Trump’s "visit" to that side of the pond this past week. Wanted to see how other folks were thinking.
 
@tchrist I wondered what they thought of it all.
I see things in English about their perspective but feel like I can't trust it that much
Too many layers of misinterpretation
 
12:43 AM
Do you have this type of melon? Elongated and kind of firm (compared to cantaloupe)?
Wikipedia calls it Persian melon, but I don't trust that page.
Well, OK, if it ever does have an English name, maybe that's it.
 
@Færd no we don't have that or at least not in most stores.
 
I guessed so.
 
It looks like cantalope except for the color of the ... whatever you call it, the meat?
which is almost orange.
 
It has a different texture too. It's harder, and makes noise when you chew it.
 
like a cat's meow?
 
12:54 AM
And can be really sweet. And is more likely to cause allergy.
@Mitch What other food makes that noise?
Other than a live cat?
 
haha
none
I hope
 
This one doesn't either.
 
a squeaky sound?
 
No, it's mildly chewy.
It crunches. Or crushes.
 
do you have watermelon, green on the outside, red/pink inside?
 
12:59 AM
Yeah. Persian melon is less dense and more hard.
Less dense because it doesn't have as much water.
Whatever. It's strange that our diets are so different.
 
or strange that they have anything in common
OMG you drink...water? How strange!
 
You'd expect people not to miss out on this sweet melon, and they do.
 
different varieties are managed differently.
like varieties of apples.
or beef
 
To each his own sh**.
 
what a dump
 
1:04 AM
Yay. A polite way to say shit.
To each his own dump.
Nah.
 
'take a dump' - totally about poop
 
Yeah.
 
which is funny how that came abot because you really only ever 'give' one.
 
You have a five-year-old's mind.
 
I'm getting better then
 
1:06 AM
Benjamin Button.
That was funny though. I'm trying to find other examples of that sense of take.
 
I never saw the end of that movie. I wonder what happens.
 
Take a piss.
I never saw the movie. I read the short story.
 
@Færd 'take' when really one is .... giving it away so to speak
 
Yeah.
 
I only ever saw ads
 
1:10 AM
In the story, he dies an infant.
 
do his memories go backwards too?
 
I don't think he remembers things from his future, and he forgets his own past.
Wait, does he die? I forgot.
I guess he does.
SPOILER ALERT
> Then it was all dark, and his white crib and the dim faces that moved above him, and the warm sweet aroma of the milk, faded out altogether from his mind.
 
hm.. leaves it open to interpretation
Did you ever read 'The Giver'?
 
He doesn't have anywhere to go after that; his mama's dead.
@Mitch Nope.
Should I?
 
similar situation where you're not really sure what really happens at the end.
 
1:16 AM
So you actually read that instead of watching the movie?
There appears to be a movie version.
Any good?
 
@Færd How did you happen to read BB? (friend, review, etc...)
 
I liked Gatsby, and I started reading Fitzgerald's other works.
 
@Færd my kids had to read it for school, so I read it because it was laying around the house.
 
Ah.
 
I guess it was good.
 
1:19 AM
You know, there are so many books I've read that I don't remember the story.
 
where do you get English books from? Local libraries? Amazon?
 
Book stores.
Amazon doesn't work for us.
I don't think it does.
 
how about... trying to think of other delivery things...
DHL?
 
What's that? Delivers mail from abroad?
It'd be too expensive.
 
it's german. they go everywhere
in Europe and US at least
 
1:24 AM
It does have a branch in Tehran. Google says.
 
Huh, I thought DHL was French.
I stand enlightened.
 
Dag Hammarskjöld Library?
 
Very French.
 
Doctor of Hebrew Literature?
 
I sit when I'm enlightened. Can't stand the giddiness.
 
1:26 AM
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
wait...bad timing
 
I thought your wife summoned you and you were going.
 
No, but that's a good interpretation
it's all right, it's okay, you may look the other way
 
So what's the other interpretation?
 
I'm repeating song lyrics randomly
or not so randomly.
 
Ah.
 
1:29 AM
I'll have to make up a song that includes those last two lines
and have it produced and sung by...
who do you think should sing my song?
you know, to get the most airplay?
 
Mmm, I can do the voice. You do the picture.
See ya.
 
@Cerberus Dalsey, Hillblom, Lynn are totally American but the company was bought out by Deutsche Post in the early 2000's (says wikipedia)
@Færd l8r
 
1:45 AM
I see.

@Robusto without any context, that is actually a remarkably fine translation.
Of course Google doesn't realize that even without any context, it's a safe bet that we're not looking at the literal meaning of болеть (be sick), but rather at the figurative one (to root for someone).
So my translation would be "Go team, Crimea's on your side" or some such.
@Tonepoet I find your rebellion quite endearing, What are you, twelve? :-P
 
SBM
9:29 AM
rebellion?

@tchrist Woah! I stopped that when he started giving out bona fide spoilers. Eeek! Thanks, but I'd much rather wait and actually watch it.

Q: Is the sentences make sense?

Freddy MangWe need to ponder any contribution that "Jason" had put in?strong text

Thank fuck he clarified what he meant:
Hi, thanks for your reply. Sorry for confusing. "To inaugurate whether the above rules or application, we need to ponder that Jason has put in. There are two types of the trust that Jason could use to defence for him, which are resulting trust and constructive trust." — Freddy Mang 43 mins ago
I think we are now in a position to create an accurate pictorial representation of the parse tree.
 
10:59 AM
I think you'd be surprised

The sentence makes no sense, and neither does your question or your comment. Absolutely nothing you've said so far makes any sense. What are you smoking, Freddy? — RegDwigнt ♦ 1 hour ago
@RegDwigнt come on, man! "What are you smoking"?
You're not wrong, but maybe you could try to be a bit more delicate when leaving comments on the main site? What with being a mod and everything. . .
Hmm. On second thought (and actually reading the question) I admit that is probably fully merited by the OP.
Still, I would respectfully submit that it's not the best form for a mod to leave that sort of comment. Even when so richly deserved.
 
SBM
Hello
 
12:39 PM
@terdon Respectful to a sock puppet?
Makes no sense.
 
@Gigili No, respectful to the users of the site. And how would you know that's a sock? And what difference would that make even if it were?
 
I think an ordinary user wouldn't make a post like that. I also think a mod should punish the type of behavior by their reaction and I didn't find "what are you smoking" disrespectful.
 
I am delicate, but you have to earn it.
It's not very expensive by any means, though.
The only requirement for not being called a moron is not being a moron.
The only requirement for not being called out on smoking shit is to not smoke shit.
You get the idea. I am not an unreasonable man. On this site or elsewhere. But my time is not free, and neither is my respect.
 
Your call.
 
At first I wondered whether it was a spam seed.
But I think it might just be that trash calls to trash.
 
12:47 PM
@Gigili I don't care about the user. I care about the other users who see the comment and take that as an example of how we treat users on the site. And, more importantly, of how moderators treat users on the site.
 
SBM
Trash calls to trash? What happened?
 
A fair point well made, but that's why I close first, comment then.
 
SBM
Is anything wrong?
 
Nobody looks at closed questions. Ever.
 
"Wrong" is such a strong word, but the now-deleted spamswer definitely fits that bill.
 
12:50 PM
@tchrist I don't see why. It's a perfectly clear answer and shows incredible insight into the mind of the OP: "Yes, it is a strong text".
Pithy.
 
SBM
Spamming is so awful
 
Yes, pithy that.
 
@tchrist Interesting stuff. Also, it took me longer than it should have to realize that Meñique refers to Littlefinger.
 
I didn't realize you were one of those h-droppers who inserted them where they needn't go.
 
12:51 PM
@Robusto But that's what your meñique is. They have, like, a word for everything, you know.
 
@RegDwigнt My copy of Horizon Zero Dawn arrives today.
@tchrist Haha, I know.
 
We can build it better. Stronger.
 
More destructive!
 
@Robusto I am almost finished. Have been saving the very last mission for the last two days or so. Don't want it to end. So good.
 
12:52 PM
@RegDwigнt: My son is playing it. Says the voice acting is superb.
 
Choose stronk!
 
^rebuild
 
Rebuild Without A Cause!
 
@Robusto yes, and perhaps even more to the point, it's contextual. There are so many lines that change depending on what you have or have not done. It is insane.
 
Can't wait to play it.
 
12:55 PM
Without spoiling anything, a couple hours in I had to go through a gate and it just so happened I had a mount at that point so I just went in through riding. Talked to an NPC, and he fucking references that. In fully voice-acted dialog. Fucking sold, mate.
 
Sweet.

Can't wait to play it.
 
@terdon Who are other users? Some users including me would like to see a mod taking action against spamming.
