@Mitch There's something odd about that map.

I can't put my finger on it.

user174558

@Cerberus Woof!

Cerberus

Growl!

user174558

I really like the waters and houses built around them in Netherlands.

Cerberus

Yeah, we have lots of water.

Long time no see!

How are things?

user174558

Now I am tempted to be born in Netherlands my next life!

user174558

00:33

Things are much the same, trying to get better.

user174558

I watched a very nice Dutch movie, let me find it...

user174558

Jongens

Jongens (translated as: Boys) is a 2014 coming of age drama film produced in the Netherlands. It was directed by Mischa Kamp and features Gijs Blom, Ko Zandvliet and Stijn Taverne. The film was released on 9 February 2014. == Plot == Sieger is a fifteen-year-old boy, living with his widowed father, Theo, and his brother, Eddy, who, burdened with his mother's death, clashes with and acts out against his father. Along with his best friend (Stef), Sieger is a member of the local athletics team. They—and two other boys, Tom and Marc—are chosen to represent the team at the national championship relay...

user174558

You will like it, I think.

user174558

I am going to bed, good night @Cerberus!

Cerberus

Sleep well!

@JasperLoy I think my friend mentioned that film, it sounds nice.

@stack Unfortunately, I cannot think of any word that would sound like that. I wonder if it is a phrase.

@JasperLoy: Hi, it's nice to see you again.

@sumelic Hi. Is Sumelic your actual name?

user174558

Recently, I watched Wild Things 1,2,3,4. Very sexy movies.

user174558

Answers for single word requests are often upvoted because they are difficult words or because the answer is long, not because it is the best word for the situation, which is a shame. Meh. This site is finished.

user174558

@Cerberus You should also watch the German movie Summer Storm, or Sommersturm, which I have mentioned in this chat over 9000 times.

Sᴋᴜʟʟ ᴘᴇᴛʀᴏʟ

12 hours ago, by stack

> I have a lot of information about it, "eravage" me.

stack

@JasperLoy I remember your mentioning it.

user174558

@Cerberus Yes, both movies are about gays, lol.

Cerberus

But you're not gay.

user174558

I am slightly gay.

Is this sentence correct? "Is there any event to get execute when the value of textarea changes?"

crl

16:19

"Is there any event to executed/emitted when the value of textarea changes?"

the answer is yes textarea.addEventListener('change', console.log)

@JasperLoy still better than me, I'm asexual

I'm only attracted by goats

user208178

@crl It should be "to execute/emit" not the second form of verb.

crl

@VitaminC he certainly meant an event that is emitted when it changes

user208178

yes sure but we use first form of verb with "to".

user208178

well anyway, hi.

crl

oh sure

@Shafizadeh "Is there any event executed/emitted when the value of textarea changes?"

@crl thx

user174558

@Shafizadeh I think it would be more efficient if you try to learn English systematically instead of thinking about random questions. Try to enrol in a good class or read a good book.

Shafizadeh

You are right.

user174558

Well, I just try not to be wrong.

user174558

Lots of people dislike me and think that I am wrong, in all kinds of things.

Shafizadeh

@JasperLoy :-) ..! What people think doesn't matter ..!

user174558

18:16

@Shafizadeh That sentence is grammatical! Yay!

Shafizadeh

:))

user174558

@Shafizadeh Does your work deal with computers?

Shafizadeh

Yeah .. I'm a programmer (PHP developer)

terdon

18:44

@Shafizadeh Aren't those two contradictory?

Shafizadeh

are you kidding? :-)

terdon

@Shafizadeh Yes, just joking about how hated PHP is.

> PHP can also be seen as the Justin Bieber of programming tools. Both prove conclusively that you don't have to be good to be popular.

Shafizadeh

:-)

Sᴋᴜʟʟ ᴘᴇᴛʀᴏʟ

Seriously, the value of a structured and systematic approach to learning can not be over stated.

@JasperLoy No, it's my pseudonym :)

crl

oh, Mt Blanc isn't the summit of Europe

Mont Elbrouz is

@Shafizadeh do you know Drupal, I'm not fond of php, but I could get a job with that

unfortunately popular, yea

TIPS

@crl Drupal.SE is the spam heaven, and that's as much as I know about Drupal.

Also, something about Drupal looks like a droplet of water.

Will this get me a job?

@crl I've found that popular things are either unfortunate or natural.

crl

it doesn't look hard, but that company has some pile of shitty super long module files

I don't like it because I'm more a JS programmer, and a CMS deserve to be more client-side

user174558

20:23

@crl Why do you like goats?

TIPS

@JasperLoy Because of the milk.

user174558

@TIPS Will you be aiming for a Nobel in chemistry?

TIPS

Only time will tell.

Much needs to be determined before I can give a sensible answer to that.

crl

Guillaume will tell

TIPS

Or maybe you're more inclined to hear "I'll be a pilot when I grow up" answers.

crl

20:27

goats are just funny, one the most popular animal after cats

the room is frozen now :(

Mitch

21:15

@crl +1!

@JasperLoy that's a bit personal

@crl ?? Weird. I always thought it was mt blanc. And the Caucasus seems so far away. And also east of a lot of things that are called Asian (Asia Minor, Middle East)

1 hour later…

crl

22:43

he, yeah, it's more or less the border with Asia

"I was going to send another message until I saw your reply" (in the spams)
"I was going to send another message before I saw your reply"

Which one is better

sumelic

23:32

@crl For some reason, I prefer the sound of the second.

crl

23:54

ah ok thanks
