@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 That's just, like, your opinion, man.
@JohanLarsson A tip of the hat to Perelman. Pure class.
@BraddSzonye Moo.
@Mitch no, yeah, you're absolutely sausage.
@Robusto Itzhak? I didn't look.
Or spell that correctly, probably.
Oh. No.
Math, not fiddles.
@JohanLarsson More: "He had previously turned down a prestigious prize from the European Mathematical Society,[28] allegedly saying that he felt the prize committee was unqualified to assess his work, even positively." Hahaha. To sum up: "How dare you even approve of what I'm doing." Definitely, a tip of the hat would be in order, but he'd probably just refuse to acknowledge it.

But salary in Australia is 20~30% higher than in Korea =(

@Robusto Yeah!
Hi
Everybody
Hows life?
pretty good and you?
Pretty sick.
I am under the weather.
Sore throat, runny nose and so on and on.
And sometimes stuffy nose, which is the worst of all.
06:47
no fun
are you good with Gimp?
the software package?
I have used it. But I'd not say I am good at it.
I have selected a person wiht a green background, want to turn the fringe around the selection from green to blue

Sorry, I'd not know that. But you can ask Google.

Hi.
> the price of dried cockroaches has soared from $2 per pound in 2010 to $20 today. That's mostly because roaches are more popular than ever among Chinese medical providers, who incorporate crushed roaches into experimental baldness and cancer treatments, as well as cosmetics firms. They're also being marketed as mouthwatering delicacies by some restaurants. Bon appétit!
Good morning.

@RegDwigнt By the way, Sergey Brin still sounds pretty Slavic to me, his accent. I thought he had lived in America for decades, but I guess some people lose accents sooner than others.

Mornin.

hi
how are you?
Perfect.
You?
@Cerberus You know we have an overpopulation problem when the price of cockroaches keeps rising.
Fine, thanks for asking :-)
@Robusto Maybe we just have a drying problem.
My feeling about cockroaches, exactly.

Let's tie this together:
Hi
What's the difference between Not feeling well, won't be coming in Not feeling well, am not coming in
meaning wise.
@MattЭллен
14:26
@Noah not much. You might say won't be coming in if you're due to come in in a few hours or days, and am not coming in if you're due in short time from when you say it.
Sorry to read that you don't feel well.
14:41
Dudes, what is wrong with the main page?

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Fixed now.

Q: Does "-che" in "douche" and "gauche" have meaning?

Tim"douche" means shower, and "gauche" means awkward, and lacking social experience or grace. Does "-che" in "douche" and "gauche" have meaning?

I mean, even for our very low standards, this is an affront.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者: ^ Aren't you glad we got our site back?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 it was a cross SE problem
@MattЭллен I didn't know SE got cross from time to time. That must be why it needed a nap.
just don't make it angry
@Robusto I disagree. If you don't know, you don't know. How could one search for it? Etymologies and definitions aren't complete so maybe there is a pattern (there is none but how do you know).
@Robusto I'd prefer questions like this than the bucket loads of crap other questions.
@Mitch Well, that doesn't say much for those other questions. What irritated me about this one is that it felt like multi-collider trolling because it leads with douche.
15:24
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 nothing, just there are no more questions. They've all been answered to satisfaction. What else is there anymore?
Well, it's Tim again.
He previously asked about figurine. That caused so much uproar, I am not willing to fight the exact same battle all over again.
This is why I seldom even look at the questions. I have to be seriously bored, which leads to me being curmudgeonly. I should just ban the site in my browser.
@Robusto Yeah, it's Tim.
Also, this time he made sure not to make the question a NARQ by including the etymology himself.)))
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Jimmy Dean? Rock on!
15:27
@Robusto oh. yes.
It should be noted that Douche Guevara was very gauche.
@Mitch hey, kids / rock 'n' roll / rock on
@RegDwigнt I thought Douche Guevara was a feminine hygien product for communist women.
See how wrong you were?
@RegDwigнt go-shay to the point of being a commie.
15:29
@RegDwigнt Alas, I am unable to see such nonsense.
Why does Mitch's starred thing make me think of pizza?
No subliminal pizza in this chat!
soooo hungry.
@Robusto it comes with age. You're still young. Much to learn.
Pyrazinamide is a drug used to treat tuberculosis. The drug is largely bacteriostatic, but can be bacteriocidal on actively replicating tuberculosis bacteria. Abbreviations The abbreviations PZA and Z are standard, and used commonly in the medical literature. Dosing and presentation * 20–25 mg/kg daily, or * 50–70 mg/kg three times a week. The British Thoracic Society guidelines are for 1.5 g daily for patients weighing less than 50 kg, and 2 g daily for patients weighing 50 kg or more. Pyrazinamide is a generic drug, and is available in a wid...
PZA. QED.
15:30
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 yes, that.
Piezoelectric pizza.
Make energy as you chew.
Not to be confused with piezoelectric PITA.
PITA and homos annoy people from time to time.
@Robusto the RZA, the GZA, the PZA, and the whole Wutang Clan.
I wonder if there's a reactionary white supremacy group called the New Tang Klan (they only drink fresh Tang, of course, because it's the drink of astronauts).
15:32
Interesting, Chapelle's racial draft is not on YouTube.
I was going to link to the RZA-GZA bit.
He was inscripted based on color?
Yes, I've seen that multiple times.
I know you have.
@Robusto yeah you and your fine music again.
> The abbreviations PZA and Z are standard
I like that bit, BTW.
15:37
@RegDwigнt Too bad we can't get them in HD then.
@Robusto hey I can't even get them in PAL, pal. And you complain?
So yesterday at like five o'clock at night, after a whole lot of drinking, I fire up the TV, and guess what's showing. Season 4, Episode 13. So I watched. And cried a little. It was so good.
That Western music when Gus gets out of the car and walks to Casa Tranquila. Gets me every time.
@RegDwigнt It is good.
And of course it gets me even more now that I know what will happen. They pump up the rewatch value just like that.
@Robusto holy moly, these are the longest hashtags I have seen.
And I have seen more hashtags than is healthy for a vegetarian.

Q: charles dickens

Hamedi dont understand these passages from The Haunted House by Charles Dickens. can anyone please explain them in simple english: I had got into the train at midnight, and had fallen asleep, and had woke up and had sat looking out of window at the brilliant Northern Lights in the sky, and had fallen...

People will capitalize Every Damn Word In A Title, but people won't capitalize charles dickens. People are the worst.
Or perhaps he's thinking of E. E. Cummings.
@Robusto I don't think most of those people in China are exactly starving...
You mean this? ^
Or this:
I don't have the episode in front of me ATM.
15:51
@Robusto yeah this.
@Robusto well that bit is actually linked right there.
@RegDwigнt So that kind of Western. Yeah, it reminds of the music from another big confrontation in film.
Precisely.
@Cerberus (and Ben): it's just that it has to be a single term and not some kind of compound expression. I need it for a piece of philosophy I'am working on, where possible phenomena have a similar status as evident ones, and questions the same as propositions. The term has to be very compact, short, and handy; and the prefix would ideally be productive, so as to recombine with other roots. A compound expression would be too technical as well, as this is a more poetic kind of philosophy. — megob 1 hour ago
At least this guy motivates his need for a single word: poetic philosophy.
Not my cup of tea...
Wait, that's a philosophy of his he's working on?
Then he can call it anything he wants.
He can call it Susan if it makes him happy.
I call it a lazy Susan.
See if you can grok that without googling.
And we've come full circle . . .
Give up? Here, have a freebie:
A lazy Susan is a turntable (rotating tray) placed on a table or countertop to aid in moving food. Lazy Susans may be made from a variety of materials but are usually glass, wood, or plastic. They are usually circular and placed in the center of a circular table to share dishes easily among the diners. Owing to the nature of Chinese cuisine, especially dim sum, they are especially common at formal Chinese restaurants both on the mainland and abroad. History It is likely that the explanation of the term "lazy Susan", and who "Susan" was, has been lost to history. advertized in a 1917 V...

I am just finished watching Clint.
You expected me to pause halfway through?
You're heartless.
Ich bin ja hertzvoll.
@Robusto I know that thing and I know Lazy Susan. I didn't know Lazy Susan was that thing.
Sondern bin ich tot.
Two out of three ain't bad.
Yes. Well, I feel obliged to get off my dead butt and go do something productive, which goes against every fiber of my being. Still, there it is. Laters.

That suits me fine as I need motivation to get up and shop for groceries.

Q: gourmand and gourmet

Tim"gourmand" means someone who is excessively fond of eating and drinking, while "gourmet" someone who is a connoisseur of food and drink. Does "gour-" mean food?, "-mand" command and demand, and "-met" enjoy? Etymology says "gourmand" is not connected with "gourmet".

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 It does this every now and then.
@tchrist I wonder where they all go.
A giant chest with question marks all over it? Like something Matthew Lesko would have?
Matthew Lesko (born May 11, 1943) is an American author, self-proclaimed federal grant researcher, and infomercial personality. He has written more than twenty books telling people how to get money from the United States government. He is popularly known as "that question mark guy" for the Riddler-like suits that he wears in his television commercials, infomercials, interviews, and in his everyday life. Lesko lives near Kensington, Maryland, with his third wife Wendy Schaetzel Lesko and their two sons, Max and Morgan. He grew up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Lesko received his undergradu...

Neil Thomas Christiansen
==========================
Born: August 16th, 1942
Died: October 18th, 2013
==========================
My father, Neil Thomas Christiansen, died peacefully in his sleep shortly
after midnight yesterday in his home in Belvidere, Illinois, surrounded by his
family. Neil was 71 years old. He had been fighting an aggressive form of
Parkinson's Disease since its initial diagnosis in August 2012, but in the end
it was a non-responsive form of pneumonia that took his life. Although
That is beautiful. Very nicely done.
Thank you.
It is hard to know what to write, or how, for things that matter to you but may not matter to other people.
19:56
I can't remember who wrote my Dad's or what it said. That's making me feel bad right now.
How is your brother doing?
He was into gaming (cards, chess, etc), reading SF&F, and naturalist-type activities. I like to think I did a good job at raising my parents.
My brother is not doing well.
And here I thought you got your nature side the other way round.
He was holding Dad when he finally stopped breathing, so knew immediately. He awoke me, who had dosed off, immediately, but it was the end, not just a false stop.
Well, it's from my mom, ultimately.
She passed it on to both Dad and their kids.
She's a high-school science teacher, bearing state certificates for teaching general science, biological science, and computer science.
She had to go back to pick up the compsci, but it was easy for her. It's how she thinks.
That's pretty awesome.
So I've never had any delusion about what women could/shouldn't do.
They can and should do anything they please.
Our family structure has always been matriarchal, and on both sides.
It does mean that when I am pulling my hair out because of broken outsourced computer code, I can call home and have a shoulder to cry on.
Because she understands exactly why that code should never have been allowed into production.
And when I say "Even my mother could program better than that!", I am being completely honest and accurate.
20:03
:D
My family was... not like that.
Since my folks divorced, Mom has created a larger and more impressive nature preserve here.
This 66-acre nature preserve is part of the City of Lake Geneva Park System. 40 acres of wetland (sedge meadow, pond, calcareous fen and tamaracks) and 20 acres of upland that are being restored to prairies (xeric, sand, short-grass, tall-grass, wet mesic and oak opening with mature oaks and hickories) are all on one site. The preserve is bordered by 250 acres, which are part of a primary environmental corridor, and is open to the public.
The trail has plaques identifying various plant and animal species. Wildlife: Look for wetland, grassland, and savanna birds. Also, nesting boxes for blue
I want to go to there.
I'm on my there now.
20:19
My condolences.
Do you feel as expected, or worse?

Howdy @cerbs
Do you have honeycrisp apples there?
No?
We don't have many kinds of food with non-Dutch names...
I'm embroidering a honeycrisp apple for to make a pendant.
Well, maybe we do, but it's mostly brands => unhealthy. (Oh, except granny smith, we have those!)
So what is a honeycrisp apple?
Honeycrisp (Malus domestica 'Honeycrisp') is an apple cultivar developed at the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station's Horticultural Research Center at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Designated in 1960 as the MN 1711, and released in 1991, the Honeycrisp, once slated to be discarded, has rapidly become a prized commercial commodity, as its sweetness, firmness, and tartness make it an ideal apple for eating raw. The Honeycrisp also retains its pigment well and boasts a relatively long shelf life when stored in cool, dry conditions. U.S. Plant Patent 7197 and Report 225-199...
They are so very tasty.
Ah, I see.
Never seen such an one.
20:52
If you ever do, get it. If you're not completely satisfied, send me the unused portion and I'll refund your money.
Yay!
Are they so very different from regular apples?
They're very crisp and juicy, and a very nice balance of sweet and tart.
Noted.
21:07
I was excited to eat apples when my braces came off.
I've eaten one pretty much every day since then.
Heh.
Do those apples contain more vitamin C than regular apples?
(Regular apples contain very little of anything except sugar...)
I learned recently that chicken thighs have twice the iron of breasts.
Apples are fibrous.
IIRC
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 You still think automatic OS updates are the way to go?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 That's...odd.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Are they?

Upgrading Windows RT tablets should be absolutely bulletproof. It's very disappointing that it isn't.
what determines if one can increase playback speed of youtube videos?
Can one?
I never noticed.
If you click settings, where you change resolution, there is sometimes a dropdown for playback speed
Oh, I don't recall ever seeing that.
21:27
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 rummages through trash
I often increase speed when watching tutorials
I see.
Interesting.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Do you know if you could send the apple core with just the postage or do you have to put it in a box?
@JohanLarsson Oh yeah. They just talk too slow.
YOu want them to hurry up and get to the point.
@Mitch If you can get the postage to stick to the core, go for it.
postage affixed. dropped into mailbox
21:30
gets out checkbook
Wait, do you have a receipt?
No. No. It's my pleasure.
@Mitch I often fall asleep if things are slow
Oh, so you were satisfied?
By sending it in the mail without a box? Of course. Nicely efficient.
I always have a hard time telling if Mitch is ironic or serious
21:32
@JohanLarsson I just get frustrated.
@JohanLarsson me neither.
or obtuse
You can always use Cheat Engine to speed the Flash executable up.
@Mitch With the apple.
I think that works.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Oh. uh... well, yeah. You might disappointed because there's not much meat or whatever you call apple stuff left on it.
@Cerberus ty might try it
21:34
mmm... apples.
good apples that is. bad apples are not so good. Red delicious are never good. Unless picked from a tree.
White plastic apples?
Plastic apples are not apples. Sorta like how white chocolate is not chocolate.
A white chocolate apple is not an apple either.
Does that look like chocolate to you?
21:38
No it looks like wax or plastic. I was just stating a fact.
Just so, just so.
@RegDwigнt Now he's just trying to piss me off.
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 Now you're just trying to piss me off.
@Robusto proffers whisky
@Cerberus I see you've uncharacteristically embraced Apple. What's next, an iPhone?
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 partakes a wee dram
@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 But breasts are fun to play with.
21:47
@Robusto what do you do with them that is so funny?
@JohanLarsson Fun, not funny.
I segued into a non-chicken type of breast while you weren't looking.
@Robusto ach, it be nearly six there.
@Robusto yeah :D but the question remains
@JohanLarsson motorboat.
confused
:)
that sounds fun but for how long?
Till the chicken says stop?
confused again
You should respect the chicken's wishes.
I trust you
22:53
@Robusto Pointing at is not the same as embracing...yuck.
23:41
@Cerberus It's OK if you like Apple. I mean, certain people are just born with a different sort of, well, orientation. Nothing to be done, really.
@Cerberus Anyway, I almost bought an LG G2 today, but it turns out that if I take an upgrade, Verizon won't let me keep my unlimited data plan. I'm investigating ways to get a Verizon-capable phone by paying full retail price. I don't know if that's possible, though.
@Robusto what a bunch of crap.
Looks like it is possible, but I will have to pay full price. I'd rather pay that and keep my unlimited data plan.
