(of course your description sounds best, product, but I'm trying to figure out second hand what you think your boss thinks the user will think.)
Huh...that really is third order thinking.
I'll have to rewrite my book then.
"Third-Order Thinking is Useless" by Mitch.
Its status is now unavailable.
I have think about it.
 
No, they are saying its availability is "book".
 
yeah, that's messed up.
 
for instance.
 
It's like Irish where they think prepositions are used for verbing things.
Das Buch ist bei mir
Substitute German for Irish. It's pretty easy to do if you're not European.
 
Why does Spanish put adjectives after nouns
it's confusing
 
4:07 PM
@DeltaEscher Exactamente.
Poner algunos adjetivos descriptivos antes que las palabras simplemente no tiene sentido.
 
There. Sent an email. Now I'll probably get in trouble.
 
no hable espanol
por que
 
@DeltaEscher yo tampoco!!
 
I brought up the point that we call them Products on the product sheet.
And we call something else availability.
So...I'm not the one being confusing.

@KitZ.Fox Not to mess with you but sometimes other people use words without thinking about what they mean.
The whole Inigo Montoyo thing
@DeltaEscher It's all cake!!
 
You weren't a 50's teen unless you were experimented on during this!
Project MKUltra—sometimes referred to as the CIA's mind control program—was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps. The program...
 
so hungry
 
Next on Buzzfeed
What dubious CIA operation are you?
 
4:12 PM
@DeltaEscher they just went about it wrong
 
That's what they said about Communism
 
@DeltaEscher The third one will amaze you!!
@DeltaEscher Sweden seems to be doing OK.
 
@Mitch Holy crap, I'm operation MKDELTA!
 
@DeltaEscher :o
 
@Mitch Yeah, and Bernie Sanders is doing good so far
Anyone remember that really old creepypasta about the Godzillla NES game?
Apparently someone's actually making an entire game out of it
 
4:16 PM
That's the movie I want to write, where the suburban family is driving in their mini-van and they see another minivan up ahead that looks just like theirs and happen to be going pretty much where you're going but then they veer off the road and explode in a big fireball. Then the next day someone comes to the door and asks you if you're the Jones's and you say no, and the barges in and looks around and says 'Hey where is everything? where is all the equipment and monitors and grande launchers?"
 
alternate universes ftw
 
and then runs outside and also explodes in a fireball. and that's when you realize that you and your entire family are the CIA plant. That's how deep undercover you are.
@DeltaEscher He's not even socialist. He's to the right of Eisenhower (on many things. not all)
 
pls giv free colleg
 
They do in Europe (sort of, their college fees (not tuition) are being escalated constantly).
 
They've never exposed Project MKDonalds
 
4:20 PM
Wow...Europe is sounding pretty good. Their problems are too many bureaucratic restrictions on small businesses, stifling innovation and entrepreneurship.
Thanks Dad. Does this mean I can unplug your respirator once I get off your lawn?
@MετάEd Do you remember/ever heard of those demonstrations against McD's in the 80's in France? 2010's they all love the McDo's.
Also, they're having obesity-related diabetes increases too.
 
@Mitch :-) then you're exactly the opposite of me ..
 
Thanks public health epidemiologist. Can I unplug your respirator too?
 
@Mitch :-) then you're exactly the opposite of me ..
 
@Shafizadeh I heard you the first time!
 
4:24 PM
@Mitch That was all about the Hamburglar. He wore French stripes.
 
Recursion
 
here it is :-)
 
But yes. google translate is ... mercurial in its abilities to translate well. do not trust! I thought I'd try it. Was 'no problem' -> 'Mashkawyee bist'?
They don't have pronunciation yet for Persian
@skillpatrol The Hamburglar was so good at stealth we barely see him mentioned there.
 
@Mitch he could still be burgling to this day...
 
Wow is he still alive?
 
4:29 PM
who knows
 
or cares
 
maybe all those burgers gave him super-diabetes

4:32 PM
but wait
that v is shaped like a certain shape
a triangle
and triangles are musical
you know what else is musical
music
and you know what music is
sound
sound is one of the five senses
you know what else is five
a pentagram
pentagrams are linked with satan
and so is the illuminati
the letter v is illuminati confirmed
 
no we aren't
 
aren't what?
 
@skillpatrol illuminati
 
linked with satan
 
user174558
@KitZ.Fox Good for you!
 
4:35 PM
tchrist is a sapient form of the letter v confirmed
 
@KitZ.Fox Running late? :)
 
Actually, I went early.
Are you OK?
I haven't talked to you recently.
 
@DeltaEscher the t is not an abbreviation for anti
 
Feeling a tad better today. Yesterday was delirious.
There's a log...somewhere else.
 
Same
allergies pls
 
4:37 PM
@tchrist Oh? Something I should look for?
 
I feel like my entire body is made of mucus
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher That is a beautiful picture.
 
Not especially, just recounting my recent work-travails, if that doesn't seem redundant.
 
@JasonBourne Thank you
It is the entire continent of Europe
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher That is my favourite continent. I wish to be born there my next life.
 
4:38 PM
I wish to be born in Asia
Preferably southern asia
 
@tchrist I see. It doesn't seem redundant. Sometimes work is hardly a travail, sometimes the bear gets you.
 
So much happening there
 
Or something like that.
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher I think you should reconsider. Asia is a terrible place.
 
@JasonBourne You take that back and apologize to Nepal
 
user174558
4:39 PM
@DeltaEscher I think Japan is the only good place in Asia, really.
 
@JasonBourne I like the countries that take roots from the Mongols.
 
user174558
For one, there are many terrorist groups in Asia.
 
and most of the world lives there
 
I mean mostly Nepal
 
user174558
Sure, they have started bombing Europe, but they bomb Asia all the time.
 
4:41 PM
Nepal is very strict on those who enter
 
user174558
Nepal is the birth place of the Buddha.
 
Indeed
 
user174558
Who then went to preach in India.
 
Sounds like most natives of Nepal
 
user174558
Well, it might seem romantic to go there for a holiday, but not for me.
 
4:43 PM
It's just a place I'd like to spend about 10 years
 
user174558
Anyway, I will never ever go for a holiday, not that I have the money to do so.
 
user174558
Because it just doesn't bring me any happiness at all.
 
user174558
Whatever I want to learn about the world, I can learn in my room.
 
with your computer?
 
user174558
Yes. To a large extent.
 
4:46 PM
what about people?
 
user174558
There is no need to interact with every human being on earth.
 
that would be impossible
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher There is a movie called Seven Years In Tibet.
 
user174558
Wow, I have four stars on the wall, miracle.
 
Do people butter the pan before frying ground beef?
 
user174558
5:03 PM
I don't know, but why not?
 
user174558
It certainly adds flavour to your beef and prevents it from sticking.
 
Seems weird to me, but maybe I do it differently than everyone else.
Beef has it's own grease.
Plus, I would add oil rather than butter if I thought it needed it.
 
user174558
It's very easy to cook salmon. Just add some soya sauce and put it into the microwave. Done.
 
*soy
 
I can't eat salmon. I thought microwaving fish was a cardinal sin.
 
5:06 PM
Gives the dishwasher a break.
 
user174558
If you are not a vegetarian, as long as you kill animals painlessly, it is fine.
 
user174558
Make sure the salmon is dead before the microwave.
 
user174558
I only buy dead salmon from the supermarket.
 
I had a long conversation with my littlest about the ethics of eating animals.
 
user174558
In fact, there is no live salmon here.
 
5:08 PM
He said eating rabbits was cruel. I asked him why it was cruel to eat rabbits but not cruel to eat chickens or cows, which was what he said I should do instead.
 
user174558
Also the ethics of killing animals, like cockroaches.
 
user174558
I know tchrist is a vegetarian, so I don't talk too much about the killing of animals here in case it affects him.
 
user174558
I really like spaghetti carbonara. I had some yesterday at a food outlet.
 
@KitZ.Fox Because he sees live bunnies not packaged-up cony. No one comes out of the slaughterhouse unphased.
 
@tchrist No, it's because he thinks bunnies are endangered. If there were lots of them, then that would be OK.
Except he's vegetarian, so I don't know.
 
user174558
5:13 PM
I have no idea why people want to protect endangered species.
 
@KitZ.Fox We must be too close to Easter.
 
I'm not preparing rabbit for him to try.
 
user174558
I also don't know why people want to protect endangered languages.
 
@KitZ.Fox Hasenpfeffer?
 
user174558
In my part of the world, we never ever eat rabbits.
 
5:14 PM
Hasenchocolate?
I can hazenchocolate?
 
I don't generally eat animals that aren't raised for the purpose of eating.
 
user174558
The only place I see rabbits is in pet shops.
 
@JasonBourne do you even have any forests there?
 
I make an occasional exception for deer and moose.
 
user174558
@skillpatrol Almost none.
 
user174558
5:17 PM
I think the wild cats and dogs are much bigger than the domestic ones.
 
user174558
But the latter are fatter because they eat more.
 
user174558
Soy sauce (also called soya sauce) is a condiment made from a fermented paste of boiled soybeans, roasted grain, brine, and Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus sojae molds. It originated in China in the 2nd century AD and spread throughout East and Southeast Asia where it is used in cooking and as a condiment. == History == Soy sauce originated in China sometime between the 3rd and 5th century from a meat-based fermented sauce named jiang (醬). Its use later spread to East and Southeast Asia. Like many salty condiments, soy sauce was originally a way to salt, historically an expensive commodity. In...
 
user174558
Soy sauce = Soya sauce, QED

Brinjal = Aubergine = Eggplant
 
Oh my god there's just been a vicious murder! I have all the doors open and a chip monk scampered into my greatroom where one of my ever-vigilant guardian lynx seized the poor fellow faster than the wink of any eye. The other just watched.

user174558
5:21 PM
I thought it was a chipmunk and not a chip monk.
 
We're very high-tech here.
 
a monk with a chip on his shoulder
 
user174558
Monk is also a last name.
 
there once was a man made of sauces
not the type put on main courses
but just for desserts
like pie or yoghurts
custard not radish for horses

Be better if it rhymed. :)
 
5:24 PM
it does!
 
rrrrrrrrrr
 
The only way to prove it is to hear you read it.
 
depends on your pronunciation
 
Also, the first has AW not OH.
And there aren't enough yogurts.
 
sɔːs, kɔːs, hɔːs
 
5:25 PM
o
 
user174558
It does rhyme to me.
 
We only have ɔ in the first, and or in the other two.
 
user174558
They are on the other side of the river @MattE.Эллен.
 
limericks have accent limitations
 
5:26 PM
I wouldn't try telling them that.
 
:D
@tchrist well spotted
 
user174558
I have a hard time understanding some Australians.
 
try southerners from the states
yyyaaaalll
 
user174558
I have been told that many Australians dislike Asians, is it true?
 
5:29 PM
you'd have to ask many australians
 
user174558
So many people tell me that that it must have some truth in it...
 
if they're all Australian, then I would say so
 
that's what their immigration policy indicates
 
user174558
@tchrist You edited talk a lot of shit to vulgar expression. Is that the new standard on ELU?
 
No.
 
user174558
5:34 PM
I was surprised you did it.
 
Don't put fucking shit in titles, nor vice versa.
 
user174558
Are you OK? You seem upset today.
 
That was forced.
I'm fine.
It was all for effect.
I'm not affected.
 
user174558
I thought the standard was to edit it to talk a lot of s**t
 
It's a fine edit.
 
5:36 PM
Please do not use vulgar terms like shit or fuck or fag or ken in tittles.
 
ken?
 
flags
 
user174558
@KitZ.Fox When I was active, I thought the standard was to simply bowdlerize the title.
 
what is vulgar about ken?
 
you'd have to know him like I do
 
user174558
5:41 PM
Yeah, what is wrong with ken?
 
user174558
I have no idea what that means.
 
End parent-shaming now.
 
user174558
@KitZ.Fox I think you look like the one on the left.
 
Kind of. My hair is longer now.
 
user174558
5:44 PM
I admit I feel scared when I see Arabic men with beards.
 
user174558
I just can't help feeling they might be terrorists.
 
@JasonBourne Your pogonophobia is showing again, you ephebophile you.
 
user174558
There aren't many such men here, and yesterday I saw four of them sitting opposite me in the train.
 
user174558
First they bombed France, then Belgium, I think next is Germany.
 
5:49 PM
@MattE.Эллен Don't go to Hyperausteria.
 
A monk with a chip on his shoulder
 
@JasonBourne Could we please not talk about this?
 
user174558
@tchrist Oh OK.
 
(Apologies to @Cerberus but they wouldn't have known Hypernostosia.)
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher Is that you?
 
5:51 PM
@JasonBourne Nope
Just looked up 'monk'
My hair is too gorgeous to remove
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher Have you finally watched those two movies I recommended?
 
@JasonBourne No
School is attempting to murder me
 
@JasonBourne There's no there there.
or they.
 
it's succeeding
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher It's now three, including Seven Years In Tibet.
 
5:55 PM
It's not muslims doing the bombing, it's total jerks.
who happen to be muslim.
 
@JasonBourne one movie
two movie
old movie
pleasehelpmeschoolisboring
 
@DeltaEscher are you calling school a cat and you a chipmunk? and there's another school just watching?
 
user174558
I have a hard time understanding tchrist. I hope I do not upset him anymore.
 
@DeltaEscher Imagine it's upside down world, where all the students are teaching the teachers, and the teacher has to ask to go to the bathroom and... wait... teachers don't ever do that.
 
@Mitch women don't fart
 
5:58 PM
@JasonBourne he just saw a murder so have some compassion.
 
user174558
@DeltaEscher They fart all the time, LOL.
 
@DeltaEscher let's one loose
a fart, not a woman. don't be daft
I'll never let them out
@JasonBourne better sphincter control?
 
user174558
@Mitch I am now thinking of reading George Tourlakis Lectures in Logic and Set Theory 1 and 2. Heard of him?
 
@JasonBourne no. must be a young guy...like under 50!
How is it?
is it readable?
 
user174558
I think he is a computer scientist.
 
6:01 PM
It's so hard to tell after awhile, because you just check to see if it explains things well you already know.
 
user174558
It's not about the difficulty I am worried about. It's the readability, whatever that means. I am still browsing it to decide.
 
@JasonBourne I thought you didn't want to read logic by a CS person?
@JasonBourne online?
 
user174558
@Mitch Yes, but in this case, there are not many logic books ever written.
 
user174558
@Mitch Well, gotten from obscure Russian servers...
 
?? really? They're not lots and lots?
@JasonBourne haha everything is on those.
 
user174558
6:02 PM
Actually, these Russian websites are well known in the math community.
 
.ru scares the bejeesus out of me. virus galore.
@JasonBourne lots of springer titles?
 
user174558
I don't have access to a library, so it's good to have the site.
 
user174558
@Mitch It has 9 out of 10 math books I look for.
 
user174558
@Mitch It even has porn in it, lol.

6:08 PM
Oh, my eyes!
 
I remember a very formal math book (1960's algebraic geometry by some French guy I can't remember the name of) and every chapter ended with (or maybe the next chapter started with) a cheescake shot. Some sort of pun with the book's title like 'real simple models'.
 
user174558
I do not know about such a book.
 
Must have been kosher: no beefcake shots.
 
I also saw a very formal math book categorized with the software documentation (like "Powerpoint for Professionals!")because he title was something like "Word analysis for stable groups"
@tchrist les croques madames!
 
user174558
A grandmother bought Jacobson's Basic Algebra for her high school kid to improve algebra.
 
6:12 PM
@Mitch We’ll have none of your croquetry around here, señorito!
 
user174558
Hi @Shafizadeh, another question?
 
:D
hey buddy
I have a short question
 
@Mitch That’s mes damned Crocs™ to you.
 
user174558
@Mitch There are at least three math books titled 'Basic Algebra', lol.
 
What is the meaning of "munged"? Google translate doesn't translate it. (Context: and to get the numbers all munged together, you shoud ...)
 
user174558
6:14 PM
Have you googled or checked a dictionary?
 
@tchrist I hate those things. also anything like it. I mean, I have nothing against the brand.
 
@Shafizadeh more context please
 
@JasonBourne no, but I can guess it, it means something like join, Am I right?
@skillpatrol and to get the numbers all munged together, you could do str.match(/\d+/g).join('')
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh I don't know, lol. I know very few words.
 
@JasonBourne I know! I hate those 'introduction to motivic cohomology of astronomical K-theory'
 
6:16 PM
@JasonBourne ah :-)
 
user174558
@Mitch There is also Serre's A Course in Arithmetic.
 
By the time you get to chapter 2, you look in the mirror and can see infinity in your eyes.
If you haven't gouged them out with a grapefruit spoon.
@JasonBourne exactly
 
user174558
Didn't your mother tell you that Advanced Algebra is more basic than Basic Algebra?
 
there's a title "Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Perspective"
 
user174558
Weil's Basic Number Theory
 
user174558
6:18 PM
1,2,3, lol
 
@Shafizadeh Yes, like 'squashed together' or 'bound up'
 
@Mitch there's a geometry version too
 
which I suppose discusses the cohomology of carrying in addtion
 
user174558
@Mitch Elementary number theory and elementary geometry are not so elementary.
 
6:20 PM
@KitZ.Fox I see, thx
 
@skillpatrol link or ref?
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh thanks, not tnx
 
he didn't say tnx, he said thx
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh tnx is used by teens on their cellphones, like lol
 
oh. I thought they said thx
 
6:21 PM
:-)
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh You seem very interested in English. Are you taking an English class?
 
user174558
@KitZ.Fox Maybe you can go running every day too, to make you feel better.
 
@JasonBourne Yes I am, But no, In Iran there isn't any English class. Actually there is, but their level are low
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh I thought Iran is a very advanced country technologically.
 
6:25 PM
almost ... but still I say the most of Iranian people don't know English
 
user174558
It is interesting that there is Iran and there is Iraq.
 
:-)
 
do you think there are Irao and Irop, too?
 
Iran and Iraq are two really different country.
 
user174558
Sometimes, people confuse Vienna and Venice.
 
6:30 PM
What makes me confuse now is why the sound of tr is ch ..!
 
user174558
@Mitch I have a feeling that obesity is common in America.
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh Which word?
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh countries, not country
 
user174558
@Shafizadeh confused, not confuse
 
user174558
Over and out
 
crl
6:38 PM
I'm turning obese too
eating 10kg of fruit/day
 
no cycling?
 
crl
not much, just to go shopping quickly, and more seriously on sunday :)
@tchrist yo soy aqui
 
gotta cut back on the calories then
 
@crl Funny you don't look like un clef to me!
 
crl
a key? :) I don't get it sorry
 
6:42 PM
Didn't you just tell me you were a key? :)
 
crl
aqui = here no?
 
Heh.
 
crl
yo estoy aqui, quizas :)
 
Well yes, but you used to ser which makes no sense with position, so I took it as a polyglot pun!
 
crl
yep, ninja'd you
yea also, you forgot the feminine on 'une clé/clef', une serrure, un gond, une porte, une poignée :p
I wish French hadn't those noun genders
doesn't make really sense for objects, it's quite arbitrary
 
6:55 PM
@JasonBourne or Austria and Australia
or Sweden and Switzerland
or Denmark and ... Dutchland
or Uruguay and Paraguay
or Guyana and Guinea
Or Sierra Leone and Serge Leoni
@JasonBourne It's the country well-known for its obesity problems
but it is second in percentage population obese to...
guess!
@crl You'd think that would clean you out!
@crl everybody else in the world wishes that too
