Mahnax

00:00

WendiKidd

Not just cats, kittens! Awwww that's adorable!

Mahnax

One more, then I'll stop spamming.

WendiKidd

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

too cute

too...many....adorable....kitties.....*head explodes*

Mahnax

Here is a cute kitten gif if anyone wants it.

And yet another.

Now I'm done.

WendiKidd

Oh, you.

You just had to throw that one in there!

Mahnax

00:05

Gotcha.

WendiKidd

In all fairness I was lulled into a false sense of kitten-security!

Mahnax

Kittens have a way of doing that.

WendiKidd

Where's @cerb when you need someone else to click the links so it's not just you?

;)

Mahnax

Well, he's never going to click it now. Not that he was the target; it was you that I was planning to trap.

WendiKidd

He still doesn't know what the link is, though. I have a feeling curiosity might win out. Plus if I ask nicely he might do it :)

Mahnax

00:11

He knows what the link is.

Cerberus

Hmm what?

I am very curious.

Mahnax

Come on, Cerb. You know this one.

You know what the link is, if think hard enough.

WendiKidd

Oh, just click it already

Cerberus

"The" link?

WendiKidd

He posted two links up there

Mahnax

00:13

The one in question, yes.

cornbread ninja 麵包忍者

Aww yeah. Bon jovi, everyone.

WendiKidd

"here is a cute kitten" and "yet another"

click them

Cerberus

I have!

Hello there.

WendiKidd

: D

Mahnax

Both of them?

Cerberus

00:14

And they are cute! I see three.

WendiKidd

No not pictures

The links, he posted them after the pictures

Mahnax

The links, doggy.

WendiKidd

@Mahnax Click the back arrow here

Cerberus

Ohh the ones in chat.

WendiKidd

yes lol

Cerberus

00:14

I thought the stars.

WendiKidd

Oh, no

Cerberus

How droll of you, Sir Humphrey.

WendiKidd

You clicked, then?

Cerberus

Indeed.

Mahnax

Come on, man. You knew that one.

WendiKidd

00:15

I laughed :)

I haven't been rickrolled in years

Cerberus

I know such links exists, yes.

@WendiKidd Really?

WendiKidd

@Cerberus Yep. Does that mean I don't spend enough time on the internet? xD

Cerberus

eating pancake

@WendiKidd Or too much! If you've become immune.

Mahnax

Oh no, I've clogged the star wall. Sorry, Reg.

WendiKidd

Though I am online quite often. Maybe not in the right places!

Haha

Cerberus

00:17

You need Google Glass, then.

I do still enjoy hearing that song once in a while.

I wonder why it was ever chosen in this capacity?

Mahnax

It's not even a bad song, though.

I like it.

Cerberus

Yeah.

I love the jeans suit.

Or something.

And he has such a deep voice for a small man.

Mahnax

Johnny had a little drink,
But Jonny drinks no more,
For what he thought was H₂0
Was H₂SO₄.

@Cerberus The denim jacket?

Cerberus

Or does he only look small because of the oversized clothes?

@Mahnax And trousers!

Mahnax

@Cerberus Oh, indeed.

Cerberus

00:20

@Mahnax That sounds poisonous.

Mahnax

@Cerberus Sulfuric acid.

WendiKidd

Seems hard to mistake for water.

Mahnax

They're both colourless…

Cerberus

Ahh.

Mahnax

Gosh, how almost-unscientific of me.

WendiKidd

00:21

Yeah but when your tongue starts melting I think you'd notice

;)

Cerberus

Someone made an April's Fool joke warning people that their tap water might contain dihydrogen monoxide.

dhmo.org/facts.html

Telling people that ingesting too much of it was lethal, and immersion halts breathing.

Many concerned citizens called the police and health authorities.

Mahnax

@Cerberus I'm very sad to hear that.

WendiKidd

Oy. April Fools jokes that cause mass hyteria should not be allowed.

Cerberus

But it was so funny!

@Mahnax Yeah...people should just Google it if they don't understand chemical terminology!

Mahnax

@Cerberus Although Googling hydronium hyrdroxide is fairly pointless for someone who is clueless enough to fall for the joke.

Cerberus

00:27

What is that?

I dropped chemistry after one year...

Mahnax

H₃0⁺+OH⁻ -> 2H₂O

Cerberus

Ah.

So if you use both names consecutively, that means "the product of the reaction between the two substances"?

Mahnax

Hydronium and hydroxide are what make acids acids and bases bases.

Cerberus

Ah.

Mahnax

@Cerberus Eh, sort of. There's a whole crap-ton of naming rules.

Cerberus

00:28

I remember 2,3-dimethyloctane and such.

That was fun.

@Mahnax Ah!

I just really disliked my teacher.

Mahnax

That was false, I think.

Cerberus

And the book was boring.

Mahnax

@Cerberus Ah, ambitious.

Cerberus

Who?

Mahnax

The "ph stands for…" bit was false.

Cerberus

00:30

OK.

Who's ambitious?

Mahnax

You, hehe.

Dropping out of Chem because of the teacher!

It was a joke, perhaps a little ad hominem. Sorry.

Cerberus

Oh. Well, I already had so many subjects.

Ah OK, I get it.

Mahnax

I understand.

Cerberus

Normally, you took 7 subjects. I had 9, so I alreadyhad 4 overlapping ones.

Mahnax

And you really don't need Chemistry for palaeography.

Cerberus

00:31

So I had to skip many hours of Latin, Greek, French, and History.

Indeed not.

Mahnax

@Cerberus The important things.

Cerberus

I was considering studying physics at uni, and you didn't need chemistry for that.

@Mahnax Well...none of the stuff in school was really important.

Mahnax

Hmm, they overlap a little, but no, I suppose not.

Cerberus

Mathematics B and physics were required, I think.

Mahnax

I like Maths.

Cerberus

00:32

I suppose it's different for you.

Mahnax

Yes, it's likely.

Cerberus

Yeah, I liked maths all right, most of the time.

Mahnax

Wow, I'm going to have a good amount of transfer credits come the end of next year.

Oops, never mind.

> Transfer credit is awarded for Higher Level (HL) exams where a final grade of at least 5 is achieved. No transfer credit is
awarded for Standard Level (SL) exams.

Gah.

That means I'll only get credits for Biology, English, and History, provided I achieve the required 5.

Cerberus

00:58

What are they good for?

Mahnax

Getting one out of taking first year uni classes.

Cerberus

Huh?

What does that mean?
