I could post it in here for you.

How can I glue two pieces of cork together?

Robusto

Special glue.

Find someone who repairs clarinets and oboes. They'll have cork glue.

cornbread ninja 麵包忍者

So, did you want me to paste that in here?

Robusto

Me, I'm drinking Bruichladdich 10 year tonight.

cornbread ninja 麵包忍者

I'm drinking nothing.

Robusto

Feeling too cheap to drink the 16.

Nothing is certainly cheaper.

But I like the Laddie 10.

The Laddie 10 has a nice balance. Not too peaty, not too sweety.

It's like the middle ground between island and highland in that respect.

JSBձոգչ

@Robusto mmmmm

Robusto

Have you tried the 16?

tchrist

@Robusto Beachland?

@Robusto neither. i prefer irish whiskeys, actually.

Robusto

@tchrist Heh, no. Just describing the two poles of the single-malt globe.

JSBձոգչ

but a good old scotch is still good

Robusto

@JSBձոգչ Jameson's or Bushmill's?

@JSBձոգչ Good scotch is great.

JSBձոգչ

@Robusto jameson's, between those two

tchrist

Gorsh, Jameson’s isn’t even whisky.

Robusto

@JSBձոգչ So you don't drink Protestant whisky, I guess.

Pears not.

Robusto

I don't drink Irish whisky.

JSBձոգչ

@Robusto why would i do anything protestant?

Robusto

I dunno.

tchrist

02:01

Because you’re so charismatic.

JSBձոգչ

but my knowledge of and appreciation of whiskeys is entirely at the dillettante level

i make no claims of expertise

Robusto

If I'm not drinking scotch I'm drinking bourbon.

tchrist

Robusto

Good bourbon is good. But it has to be of a certain level.

This is the more expensive Laddie.

A: Sherlock Uncovered: Steven Moffat Describes Andrew Scott's Portrayal of Moriarty as 'Coruscatingly Brilliant'

It’s the coruscancy of Scott’s brilliance at performing which is being remarked upon here. That is, coruscatingly is of course an adverb being applied to the adjective brilliant. Just that, nothing more. Easy-peasy. For the third time this week: No dictionary ever carries all possible word...

Read his dumbass comment.

Gaaaa. Neither Gorilla nor Tacky glues will marry these cork pieces.

Robusto

I always joke about retiring to Tahiti to fuck supermodels on a mountain of cash, but I wouldn't sacrifice my wife for that. She's not just the best woman I know, she's the best person.

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 I told you, there's a special kind for that.

cornbread ninja 麵包忍者

@Robusto the interwebs say to use rubber cement or spray adhesive.

Robusto

@cornbreadninja麵包忍者 You need something like a stick shellac.

> Contact cement is contact glue. That's the type of glue. It works by smearing a thin layer of the glue on both surfaces, waiting a bit (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, depending on the glue, weather, etc.) and then putting the two surfaces together. It glues on contact... that's where the name comes from.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Some great men get married several times in their lives to special people.

Well several times is better then :) At least they are in a commitment, right?

Jesus didn't get a chance otherwise he would have too.

@Arrowfar Whoa. Why men? What about great women??

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 “Very few seem even to have noticed that although Christ was a ‘humble carpenter,’ the only object we are specifically told he made was not a table or a chair, but a whip.” ―Gene Wolfe

user116848

@tchrist Well, you tell me :D

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist Huh, I never noticed either. Although the evidence that he was actually a builder of any sort is rather scant. It's mostly conjecture that he would have learned the trade from his adopted father.

user116848

Jesus

|birth_date = 7–2 BC |birth_place = Judea, Roman Empire |parents = |death_place = Judea, Roman Empire |death_date = 30–33 AD |death_cause = Crucifixion |home_town = Nazareth, Galilee }} Jesus (; (Iesous); 6–4 BC to 30–33 AD), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God. Christianity regards Jesus as the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament and refers to him as Jesus Christ, a name that is also used in non-Christian contexts.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

> 6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.

“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in…

Mark 6:3 is the only verse, it seems, that directly calls him a "carpenter", and the translation from Greek is imprecise; it could be any kind of craftsman.

Anyway I just assumed he built stuff until he got bored and then set off to do his other thing.

tchrist

@Arrowfar Cleopatra married a couple of Ptolemies and Marc Antony, despite Julius Caesar. Eleanor of Aquitaine married Louis VII and Henry II. Marie Curie married Pierre. Eleanor Roosevelt married Franklin. Margaret Thatcher married Denis. Hillary Clinton married Oops. ER2 married Philip; ER1 married no one.

user116848

03:21

I see, lol

tchrist

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Yes, the evidence, even scriptural evidence, is weak. But it is a fine quote nonetheless.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist Yeah it is. Lots of people could use a bit of out-of-the-box thinking re: Jesus.

tchrist

FF has made me doubt myself.

I am trying to decide whether a noun phrase starting with “Nothing / nobody / no one but” has that part acting as a premodifier the way A lot of does. In other words, it is not the true subject; it acts as a determiner or adjective, and does not affect the actual subject nor that subject’s agreement with the verb.

A lot of people have said. A lot of trouble has passed.

That sort of thing.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Nothing people have said matters.

tchrist

?Nothing but people are worth fighting for.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

03:33

oh. hm.

tchrist

No one but your husband is allowed to visit. ?No one but your friends are allowed to visit.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

They go to the nightclub. Nobody goes to the nightclub. Nobody but they go to the nightclub.

tchrist

I don’t think so. Nobody but and No one but seem singular.

I don’t know.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

have you tried a coca search?

tchrist

No, I was working my way up to it.

I always have trouble with it until I get my brain working right again.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

03:36

> Nobody but us knows what's going to happen.

tchrist

Nothing but trouble is going to come of that. Nothing but bats are getting in here.

It feels funny, but I may have semantic satiation.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

> nobody but he and a few wild children knew it was there

tchrist

Alas, knew isn’t marked for number.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

> Everybody drives by that area. Nobody but people like us realize what's going on in there

tchrist

Nobody but the captain realizes what’s really happening there.

Is that but a conjunction or a preposition, or does that not matter?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

03:39

> Nobody but priests and ministers ever say

tchrist

> Nobody but the vicar ever says

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

> set up on the premise that nobody but he knows what anybody or anything is really about

tchrist

I can’t tell whether I’m being distracted by the proximity of an object of a preposition, or whether something else is going on here.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

It seems like the verb agreement follows the noun(s) after the but

tchrist

As with A lot of, so it acts like a premodifier/determiner/adjective.

It isn’t the actual subject at all.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

03:41

I haven't found any examples that contradict that, so far, in coca

tchrist

Nothing but death and taxes is certain.

You can’t turn that into are certain, now can you?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Well, that's "nothing but", I haven't searched that

here is nobody but: corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=31809073

tchrist

But maybe death and taxes is one thing, like My husband and my best friend has just come home.

Thanks.

Oh, that’s very simple. I was thinking of something that looked for singular or plural verbs coming after.

user116848

@Emrakul Hey there :D

user61230

@Arrowfar [wave] Hello!

user116848

03:44

@Emrakul It's been long since I saw you here in chat :)

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist Yeah I would like to do that but my coca-fu isn't good enough. But just looking through the context shows a few good examples.

tchrist

I’m looking at nothing but for a subject placement.

user61230

Yeah, I've been on-and-off. Right now, I'm away from home, and I have been consuming my time through books.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist yeah the naive search gives nothing useful for that.

user116848

i see :)

user61230

03:48

How've things been?

tchrist

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Now I’m getting somewhere.

> Nothing but debating points is to be gained by arguing such things.

That would disprove the hypothesis, but it’s just one example.

Look for any verb following. The singulars like is, was are way way in front was the plurals like are, were.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

ah, colocates, thats what I should use

btw you can share links to coca if you click on "history"

tchrist

I can’t find “history”. :(

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

are you logged in? it's in the top right under the login controls

tchrist

No, am not logged in. Didn’t know that was a thing.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

03:58

ah

I am not finding much with "nothing but"

But I did find this:

> You do the work of the world yet nothing but crumbs come your way!

tchrist

From which source?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

"Southwest Review" corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=31809301

I'm not sure how to do a search for "nothing but (phrase-which-is-plural-noun-thing) (verb-with-plural-or-singular-agreement"

I can do "nothing but (plural-noun-word) (verb-with-singular-agreement)" or "nothing but (plural-noun-word) (verb-with-plural-agreement)"

tchrist

> 1991 SPOK PBS_Newshour diplomacy in the past 50 years started in Pearl. Maybe Pearl was Hiroshima. Nothing but debating points is to be gained by arguing such things. But I think

However, the fiction sources tend to go the other way.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist hm, that's spoken though.

tchrist

True.

> 2012 FIC Analog It was almost impossible for Darryl to distinguish the members of the surgical team; nothing but their eyes were visible. Griffin, who knew them all to one degree

> 2005 FIC AfricanAmerRev So intently was she focused that she screened out a conversation that ended abruptly when nothing but the crusts were left on her plate. Conversation had been replaced by astonishment

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

04:09

Nothing is visible. Nothing but their eyes are visible. Nothing but their eyes is visible. Nothing was visible. Nothing but their eyes was visible.

I may be reaching semantic satiation too. I'm starting to feel that with "nothing but" either form is fine.

And my coca-fu isn't pulling up good examples.

> At best, nothing but their names is known

From ngrams

tchrist

I forgot you could do * in ngrams.

> Tradition, as already mentioned, placed Seming, a son of Odin, on the throne of that country, and from him descended a race of pontiff-kings of whom nothing but their names is recorded.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist Yeah I'd definitely prefer "is" there.

tchrist

Using were is a problem, because you get a lot of “If nothing but this were” instances.

Stuff like that. The hypothetical were. No number marker.

It feels like there is often agreement with the noun, but not always.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

04:25

yeah. I wonder what it depends on. For the "nothing ... is visible" case, I can see either form working. For some other cases, I can't really see it. "Nothing but the cats were there", not *"Nothing but the cats was there".

tchrist

> By this irruption, however, nothing but the suburbs was yet gained: the entrance into the town was still more difficult

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

04:44

> No one but the servers and musicians dare to step out from under the shaded tent

> No one but a handful of people were aware that Kid Morgan was really Conrad Browning

> You're in New York City. In a part of Central Park that no one but us knows exists.

tchrist

It’s all very strange, don’t you think?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

yes, now that I think about it.

"no one but us" is a funny one, because it's one of the rare ones where it's an object noun and cannot be a subject.

?"a part of Central Park that no one but we know exists"

No one but them dares to step out from under the shaded tent.

No one but they dare to step out

tchrist

Nobody but our friends is/are coming. Nobody but them is coming. Nobody but me is ready.

Oh blech, this is a red herring, because it’s a modal use:

> Then no one but us need know it, and she can spend several days with us perfectly at ease.

> Absorption of more work leads to the demand for even more, because no one but us really knows what librarians do, why it is important, and how much of it we can accomplish.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

in "no one/nobody but us" I think it has to be singular agreement and that suggests to me that "nobody" is the subject.

"but us/them" is just modifying "nobody"

tchrist

> Luckily we only had to shorten our trip by a day, but we did miss the first two days of classes . . . which no one, but us, was concerned about.

So why can "nothing but X" be different from "nobody but X"?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

05:00

There was nothing but us in the room. Nothing but us was in the room.

* Nothing but us were in the room

Maybe we're dealing with two cases here? One where nothing/nobody/no one is the subject, modified by "but blah", and one where "blah" is the subject, modified by "nothing but"?

And just like the "staff is/are" question, the choice of words forces the grammatical interpretation?

I'm just speculating.

tchrist

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Yes, perhaps.

> Nothing but my own thoughts was real to me.

You can’t use were there, can you?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

05:16

hmmmmmmm. I'm not sure.

tchrist

> ?Nothing but kittens cheers me.

Or is that cheer?

Minutemen

Minutemen were members of well-prepared militia companies of select men from the American colonial partisan militia during the American Revolutionary War. They provided a highly mobile, rapidly deployed force that allowed the colonies to respond immediately to war threats, hence the name. The minutemen were among the first people to fight in the American Revolution. Their teams constituted about a quarter of the entire militia. Generally younger and more mobile, they served as part of a network for early response. Minuteman and Sons of Liberty member Paul Revere was among those who spr...
