Or more recently, it's Tramadol.
terdon
terdon
@Cerberus Yeah. Because he went in there and treated them like his students, apparently.
I can only hope that his removal will be enough of a fig leaf to allow them to back down.
Cerberus
Cerberus
@terdon That may be important, or not — it's hard to say.
terdon
terdon
This government has consistently managed to alienate every single one of the 18 eurozone countries. Even Cyprus for fuck's sake!
And now we're getting congratulatory letters from Fidel Castro and Venezuela. Great! Whohoo for freedom and the glorious Left.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
@terdon Hehe!
@terdon Sometimes kidding oneself is fun. They've done a great job? Y U NO CLAP?
terdon
terdon
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
Cerberus
Cerberus
18:03
@terdon Haha, yeah that was nice.
terdon
terdon
And then you go outside and look at octogenarians queuing in 30 degrees to get 60 euros from the ATM.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Not only from the extreme Left, though; also from bankrupt countries!
terdon
terdon
Yup
Cerberus
Cerberus
Only 30?
Meh, it was hotter here.
terdon
terdon
And we're still sucking up to Putin because those idiots don't seem to realize that he's not exactly a left-leaning leader.
@Cerberus Yes, luckily. Otherwise there would have been deaths.
Cerberus
Cerberus
18:05
@terdon That is partly tactics against Europe, I believe.
terdon
terdon
@Cerberus I hope so. I really, really hope so.
We have two ministers that have spent time in communist Russia and who are unabashed Stalinists (and yes, I mean Stalinist and not communist). At least two, maybe more.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Think: I'm sure there is something Putin would like Greece to do. If Greece had done it, Putin would have given them something in return, instead of nothing, like now.
terdon
terdon
@Cerberus He doesn't have much to give and he doesn't want to anger the EU over this. He even released a communique today stating that "after the request of the Greek government, we had a meeting". As in, look, I don't really want this either but they asked!
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
@terdon Look on the bright side. There hasn't been any deaths, riots etc. because of this.
terdon
terdon
@M.A.Ramezani Give it some time. And there have been deaths. Quite a few. The suicide rate has gone up by something like 45-47 percent.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
18:10
:'O
Cerberus
Cerberus
@terdon To some extent, yes; but he would very much like to weaken the EU and gain influence in Greece. As to what he has to offer: a loan.
> Ανεξάρτητοι
How is that word constructed?
An-ex-arthtoi.
What does arthtoi mean
terdon
terdon
@Cerberus An-exartiti
εξαρτημένοι means dependent, ανεξάρτητοι means independent.
Cerberus
Cerberus
I presume exartiti means dependent.
Right.
terdon
terdon
:)
Cerberus
Cerberus
But that wasn't what I wanted to know.
As in, I knew that.
But what does arthtoi mean?
The only word that resembles it that I can think of is Artemis...
Or, in Latin, artus, "member, joint".
terdon
terdon
18:14
@Cerberus Nothing. There's no such thing.
AFAIK anyway. \
Cerberus
Cerberus
@terdon But the etymology...
Bai!
terdon
terdon
It's exarthtoi
not arthtoi
Hmm. Let me check
Cerberus
Cerberus
> ἀρτ-ητός, όν, = κρεμαστός, Hsch.
terdon
terdon
Huh!
Cerberus
Cerberus
> ἀρτ-ησμός, ὁ, (ἀρτάω) hanging, suspension, AB447.
terdon
terdon
18:15
Nice, thanks, it doesn't exist in modern Greek.
Cerberus
Cerberus
So that must be it.
terdon
terdon
Or, if it does, I don't know it. My vocabulary is nothing to be proud of in Greek, it's far more extensive in English.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Suspend, independent = ἀρτάω, ανεξάρτητοι
terdon
terdon
Huh, true!
Precisely the same idea.,
Cerberus
Cerberus
So both pend(e)- and arta- mean "hang".
terdon
terdon
18:18
I wonder if there's any connection with αρτος, bread.
Cerberus
Cerberus
Possibly...
I can look it up.
terdon
terdon
Nah, just idle curiosity.
Anyway, I'm off to dinner and watch the news and get more angry and depressed. Later!

@terdon Take care and never despair!
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
@terdon Hey, don't!
I know it's good to get some words of despair off your chest @terdon.
Humanoid species love to share their feelings.
But, overdoing it is way more harmful than is good.
Once you've measured the drastic aspects of the fiasco, my friend, try to always look on the bright side.
At least. . .
Well, I'm not going to fill that at least for you, 'cuz you know how to do it better.

@tchrist: I heard from a chileano colleague, a former workmate, after writing him in Spanish. He starts his response with: "Que bien saber de ti, y que estas estudiando español." I infer that Que bien saber de ti must be equivalent to our "Good to hear from you."
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Hehe Google translate is very helpful.
Just as usual.
Robusto
Robusto
You're feeling perky. Must be the iftar buffet.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Your hunch is correct, sir.
Cerberus
Cerberus
@Robusto That was how I read it, without looking at your translation.
Robusto
Robusto
Yeah, it must be.
I'm pleased that I could read his whole email without reference to a dictionary.

M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Poor guy!
His hand must have hurt till now.
Johan Larsson
Johan Larsson

M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Scroll

the
screen

Robusto
Robusto
@JohanLarsson I made it disappear.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
19:35
Now compromise with me.
Johan Larsson
Johan Larsson
@Robusto js or resize?
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
@JohanLarsson BTW it's opacity is like, 60% to me with this porkchat. I recommend installing it if you have chrome.
Johan Larsson
Johan Larsson
ok, never heard of it, what else does it do?
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
It's, either an extension or an app, for chrome, and it works with SE chat.
It's chic!
It doesn't take much space.
Cerberus
Cerberus
You must be using tiny screens, people.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
19:39
And no, I'm not advertising, just recommending.
Cerberus
Cerberus
It's still on my screen.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
It?
It!
Oh.
@Cerberus How much zoom?
Cerberus
Cerberus
100%.
I still see the bottom part.
1080p.
Of course I use the most efficient browser...
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Hehe safari?
So as I was saying, @Johan this is how I see the annoying GIF on mah screen:

Johan Larsson
Johan Larsson
@M.A.Ramezani :)
Cerb could be a vertical screen kind of guy
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
19:46
Or he's in a cinema.
Cerberus
Cerberus
@M.A.Ramezani How dare you insult me so!
Firefox.
@JohanLarsson Better: I have a pivoting screen.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Doggy you can't do anything to me.
Cerberus
Cerberus
I can make it horizontal or vertical at will.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
I'm a molecule.
Cerberus
Cerberus
It is now horizontal.
In vertical mode, I have 1920 pixels.
@M.A.Ramezani Oh, I didn't know it was a GIF, I have GIFs blocked...
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
19:54
@Cerberus And you saw it? O.o
Cerberus
Cerberus
I saw a still image.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Oh! That's way boring and not annoying. Too bad.
crl
crl
20:12
Do you say "an user" or "a user"?
ok
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
A user.
@crl The thing is, you don't depend on the spelling, but the pronunciation.
However, it's interesting how an unique is observed.
crl
crl
yes, I somehow knew it was a user, but people makes the mistake and confuse me
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
@crl The part Any event ? Any listener ? should be obvious.
Ahh... the guy is beating a dead horse in that GIF.
crl
crl
@DamkerngT. the "an user", also Stack Overflow is annoying because you can't correct those small typo (6 chars limit)
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
nods -- You can edit the question marks as well, maybe.
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
20:25
@crl You think that's annoying, check how many people say tanks instead of thanks.
crl
crl
and the its/it's, your/you're...
M.A.Ramezani
M.A.Ramezani
Hehe. . . Well any language that becomes the international language somehow will be prone to such errors.
 
1 hour later…
