@Cerberus You should ping me, I love pings.
 
Ha.
 
I am now "blue" and not "steelblue", lol.
 
I normally only ping people when I really want to read their reply, or when it could be unclear what message I was replying to.
You still look steelblue to me...
 
Did you refresh?
 
Nope.
I see your new colour when I click on you.
 
1:46 AM
You are not sleeping yet?
Reg is still editing things at this hour, lol
 
Sure, why not?
I'm going to try and get some sleep soon.
 
I still keep irregular hours.
 
As do many here on SE.

A: What does "spam in a can" mean?

Ben VoigtThe gist of spam in a can is that the overriding, and possibly only, qualification is being flesh and blood. For example, where there is far too much data for a human to have any hope of making a reasoned decision, so a computer will be computing all actions (also possible for a remote pilot), b...

Hahaha ... wut?

morning
 
hi
!!youtube good morning
 
9:07 AM
@Cerberus It's fair to say it's pretty big in Oz, too.
!!tell Cerberus wiki the ashes
 
9:22 AM
So you guys play for the ashes of a burnt cricket ball?
 
burnt cricket bail
not ball
 
Ic ic so sorry...
 
:-)
 
in cricket, you want to hit the bail with the ball if you're bowling
tbh I find cricket to be an incredibly boring game. I keep that to myself, though, so as not to be beheaded for treason
 
9:28 AM
Sounds like a good policy
It gave birth to another incredibly boring game called baseball
 
9:54 AM

@MattЭллен Haha.
> After England had won two of the three Tests on the tour, a small urn was presented to Bligh by a group of Melbourne women including Florence Morphy, whom Bligh married within a year.
I may have heard that term before, but I didn't know what it was about.
 
It is our most modestly priced receptacle.
 
"Random video of ugly people"?
 
lol
@Cerberus quite a lucky state to be in IMO
 
Is that so?
 
@Cerberus how about you watch it.
 
12:27 PM
yeah, I don't have a taste for cricket
 
It can't be worse than, say, the Olympics?
 
Well, the olympics has some pace to it
 
@RegDwigнt In a minute, in a minute...
I just got up, not yet able to comprehend motion pictures.
 
Also, you are ugly.
 
Hey!
 
12:28 PM
cricket is slow. it was designed to be slow. nothing happens for hours and then Australia wins
3
 
Haha.
 
Jeff Bridges >> Cerberus. And that's just the looks!
 
Star!
 
@MattЭллен so, like football and Germany.
I see a pattern in British game design.
 
@RegDwigнt yeah, but at least the players move in that
 
12:29 PM
@RegDwigнt Who is this Mr Bridges, and why is he pointing guillemettes at me?
 
@MattЭллен obviously you've never watched football. The players lie on the grass for 90 minutes pretending they hurt their left nostril. Then Germany wins.
 
@RegDwigнt Except that Holland beat Germany in the finals in 1986, or something.
 
@RegDwigнt And cricket is never over in 90 minutes. it takes days
 
@RegDwigнt Or, worse, their pinky nail!!
 
lunch!
 
12:30 PM
Bye!
 
Oh good idea.
Lators.
 
Soup?
 
No, rice with stuff.
 
Oh.
 
Leftovers.
Yummy.
 
12:30 PM
Nice.
 
Is this possible? "the play is ticketed "Maryland Forever."
 
Apparently it can be used as a verb to mean "labelled", so I guess so.
 
I see.
Thank you.
 
1:15 PM
What's the likelihood that the "what fuck do I give" question will hit the MC?
 
1:28 PM
There's an obvious response to that.
Irrelevantly...
 
seven or maybe eight
 
Why can't we have an 'move-immerdiately-to-ELL' flag?

Q: What's "holy" means? people always says holy something

user3226059What's "holy" means? Is this word supporse to describe something that is sacred? But why does people always says holy cow, holy sxxt, holy something?

Why do people ask questions about English that are universal? Why do the French say 'gluerph'?
 
Why do people say words? All the time! They're saying them and I'm not knowing why.
 
I'm not.
 
A paradox if ever there was one
You declare that you are not and yet there you are.
 
1:35 PM
All this talking, and so little speaking.
Sez you.
 
Mitch: the person who wasn't
 
@MattЭллен Deep fried. chocolate covered. A little crunchy. A light nutty taste.
@MattЭллен Am too.

I'm not.
 
Touche. mindsplode
What a mess. excuse me while I clean this up.
 
You are excused
Or maybe you're not. I can't tell.

Q: what is the word for something which may exist or may not

pahninIf I'm looking for an object which may or may not exist, could I say it exists hypothetically, given the definition of hypothetical? a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation This seems to mean there must be som...

"Mitch"
 
1:51 PM
@JanusBahsJacquet: I disagree. If you assume it, it doesn't necessarily follow that it does exist only that you're temporarily ignoring either existence or non-existence for the sake of argument. I'm not saying this is the best answer for the OP, just that it is not as incorrect as you make it. — Mitch 1 min ago
Hah. Eat that. With your deep fried chocolate cricket. You and your sticky wickets and 'an innings' (please) and overs and... splitters, apoplects, wipes off drool. Where's my gin and tonic?
 
At the bottom of the ocean.
 
Good morning.
 
Hello.
 
:D
I want to get my tingles on this morning, but I also need to write a lot and it is too distracting right now.
So I'm doing it anyway.
Was tust du?
 
ASMR vids tend to send me to sleep.
 
2:03 PM
So nice.
 
I'm trying to figure out wich part of my code is throwing a null reference exception
 
Whee!
I'm trying to write a test script for something that I'm not sure how it is supposed to behave.
And it breaks when I use it.
 
ah. I see it now. dang.
 
Did you figure it out?
Forget to type something?
 
I found where it's happening. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it
 
2:05 PM
Can I help?
 
no, thanks. It's just that I need to assign a variable at some point in the complex web we've got here and I'm not sure why my current assignment isn't the right one.
 
Because you didn't give it a default value.
Naughty naughty. gets switch
 
It's OK! I did it!
 
frowns in disappointment, puts switch back
 
I sure he did something else bad.
 
2:09 PM
ears perk up
 
like a global variable or a switch statement with no default.
 
Case statement.
 
If @Matt = naughty
Case When @KitFox_mood = 'nice'
Etc. etc.
Oh. VB. Wait a minute.
 
oh, in SQL
 
2:13 PM
Now I'm all confused.
 
switch statements are c#, javascript, etc.
are they called switch statements in VB?
 
I don't think I've used switch in VB. Or case for that matter.
Switch-case in C++, innit?
Been ages anyway. I think the last time I used one was in python?
 
Dunno. I usually avoid them.
 
yeah. they have their uses, but not very often
 
2:15 PM
Oh yeah. That's familiar.
 
I thought MS was sunsetting VB?
 
gasps
 
It's that beautiful?
 
Good thing I don't write code anymore, I guess.
 
Ah! they're called case statements in Delphi
so, in Pascal, too, I guess
 
2:22 PM
Wow, we are really pretty dorky, aren't we?
DId I tell you I was going to do an AMSR video?
 
ASMR erotic lovecraftian horror?
 
@KitFox cool!
 
@KitFox define dorky... no need...that's pretty dorky. All of the AMSR videos I've seen (about 10 second combined of three of them) are pretty dorky.
 
will it be on the youtubes?
 
It will, and maybe Lovcraftian erotica. Would that be ASMRy?
I said I was going to write Lovecraftian erotica. Someday I will.
 
2:27 PM
@KitFox Yes, Lovecraftian erotica is well known for it's subtle emotional response. and octopuses
 
Tentacle porn.
 
Oh, so tempting.
 
Which?
 
at the end of the video, you should make it suddenly loud and violent and scare the crap out of everyone who's fallen asleep
 
2:29 PM
I want to see AMSR which is a video of just tile ceiling and loud AC.
 
please don't do that :D
 
@KitFox I'm tempted to post tentacle porn.
 
Speaking of, anybody else play Cards Against Humanity?
 
When I say that I really mean I don't want to see it.
@KitFox I've heard of it. Does that count?
 
I played last weekend. It was great.
 
2:30 PM
How did humanity fare?
 
I once bought an ull. A long suckered thing. The shop was weird though. It only accepted tacks, not money. Mine was a ten tack ull.

@Mitch Horribly.
 
I'm guessing a succesful game is where it loses.
 
/tentacle groan
 
Oh, oh, man.
 
2:32 PM
@KitFox I have not, but I would like to. It looks very funny.
 
@MattЭллен .970 cheers well up at the Opunlympics stadium
 
@Mitch yay!
 
> For the UK edition of Cards Against Humanity, we've rewritten about 15% of the game to adapt it to an outmoded culture.
 
s/to/from/
 
The setup was clean, the execution of the dismount was only slightly marred by an wobble on pronunciation.
 
2:49 PM
@KitFox It sounds exactly like Apples to Apples.
 
Yes, like that only more offensive.
So more hilarious.
 
Well, you can play Apples to Apples that way too.
 
what is a predominating ruler?
 
A ruler who predominates.
 
a controlling?
oppresive?
 
3:00 PM
!!define predominant
 
@KitFox predominant common or widespread; prevalent
 
!!define predominate
 
@KitFox predominate (intransitive) To dominate, have control, or succeed by superior numbers or size.
 
Predominating sounds odd in that context.
 
@KitFox Is it anything like 1000 Blank White Cards?
 
3:05 PM
I have no idea.
 
The pouième question could be MC bait, if only it were worded better.
Alas.
And hi.
 
Wo?
 
Hinter dir!
Oder meinst du die Frage?
1
Q: Single word for a very small amount of time

SamothIn French, if I want to quantify a very small amount of time (but not fixed: it can be 5 ms or 0.1 ms) I can use a pouième. Is there an equivalent in English? I'm not looking for an expression but for a standalone word.

 
Meinst?
Ich meine die Frage nicht.
Ich weiß nicht was ist the order of Werden there.
Not Werden. What's the word for words again?
Wait, no, just remind me how to sprechen Deutsch instead.
 
Ich weiß nicht was the order of werden there ist.
That is the order of werden.
Also, Wörter, not werden.
And Reihenfolge, not order.
 
3:16 PM
Ich meine nicht die Frage.
 
Und ich meine nicht die Antwort.
Also sind wir quitt.
 
Ich weiß nicht was die Reihenfolge there ist.
 
Oh that.
Anything works.
Die Frage meine ich nicht.
Ich meine nicht die Frage.
Ich meine die Frage nicht.
Es ist nicht die Frage, die ich meine.
 
Ich Weib nicht.
 
You no woman? Shrew? Hag? Skirt?
 
3:18 PM
Ich frouwa nicht.
 
It is not the question that I mean?
 
Yup.
 
Ich sehe.
Ich habe gethunken du hast gesprechen 'Fenester' instead of 'Frage'.
 
Did you just defenestrate?
Wow. I've never seen that before.
 
Denn, ich realized ich remembered die Wort 'Fenester'.
Und I was excited.
 
3:21 PM
@KitFox Okay, now I'm going to have Rocky Horror Picture Show running through my head all day.
And wheelchairs.
 
I'm just a sweet transvestite.
 
Help me, mommy!
 
Damn, I heard that song the other day, something like "boogerman disco" or "bodeyman disco" or "booperman disco", and I didn't write down the name cuz I though, how hard can it be, Google will just tell me the name.
Well frig.
It tells me nothing at all.
 
Time Warp?
 
So now all I have to go on is "disco", something with "oo" or "o", and the year of the video, 2007.
 
3:24 PM
2007 video disco
 
Also, it was sung by a bearded guy, and the video was set in some British city.
 
@KitFox yeah that's the only shit I keep getting. So not helpful.
I wish I remembered the band, but I don't.
I even remember the chord sequence more or less, with the downwards pointed bass progression.
 
@KitFox nope.
It wasn't funk at all.
Or disco, for that matter.
That was sort of the whole point.
A poor man's disco.
 
3:28 PM
Oh.
Not funk or disco.
 
So basically I'm trying to think of all the words that go something like booper or booger or whatever.
 
Can't imagine it.
 
I had never heard of the song or the bad before.
 
But it had disco in the title?
 
Yeah. Two words. Something disco.
I tried MyVideo and whatnot, but I get hundreds of results split over dozens of pages.
 
3:31 PM
@RegDwigнt boogie woogie?
 
No, not boogie and not boogieman.
Decidedly the exact opposite of either.
 
And not a remix of something older, right?
 
The video showed some guys in a British city putting up posters for it, all over the city.
@KitFox original song.
Though of course the chord progression had been used since the Renaissance.
It's crazy how the Internet does not give me what I want all of a sudden!
It wasn't "doperman" or "doberman", either...
How many words that go "xoxxxman" can there possibly be?
 
Have you tried jQuery?
 
tchrist could tell you
we need a jquery plugin that invokes tchrist to search his oed
jTchrist
 
3:37 PM
Oh that was so worth searching for.
 
Yeah that's something I had to exclude from the search right away.
It kept popping up everywhere.
 
But gold!
Speaking of gold.
 
There are not enough women playing guitars in the world.
 
Dunno about that.
There are way too many people "playing" guitars in the world. That includes women.
 
I didn't say "playing" guitar.
 
3:48 PM
Hm. Okay you have a point then.
But then there aren't enough men playing guitars, either.
 
@KitFox they are from Toronto
And I think it's cool that the lead singer, Emily Haines, is 40 and rocking better than most young people on stage.
 
This one is worth it for the picture.
 
this is porn?
I thought this was beyond the pale
 
that is not porn
 
3:52 PM
Oh
 
well, maybe the video is, I've not seen it
 
That is not anything. Except hideous perhaps.
 
sorry for my misunderstanding.
 
See what you've exposed me to?
 
@KitFox better. Thank you.
 
3:53 PM
happy mondays
 
I'm on page 470 of MyVideo results myself.
"9381 bis 9400 von 15516".
Shit's useless.
 
So if it's not actually disco, what is it?
 
Pop? Easy listening? Feelgood music?
 
you need to upload what you can imagine in to google's imaginary search
 
I just googled for "bogyman disco -boogieman", and Google corrected that to "boogeyman disco -boogeyman". Emphasis theirs, even.
What the actual fuck.
 
3:59 PM
lol
 
Here is some easy listening.

This one has 00 in it:
 
It was a three-syllable word and the final phrase of the refrain.
"It's a blah-blah-blah disco".
@KitFox that is one damn fine song, but not the one I'm after.
Oh Debrah, do you recall.
 
@RegDwigнt Who is Debrah?
 
4:03 PM
My aunt
 
@JasperLoy the girl with the strange nose who lives with that gay guy.
 
So why are we having all these videos here? Are you playing some game?
 
Grace?
 
@JasperLoy yes. We are looking for a specific music video from 2007 with "disco" in the title.
@MattЭллен if you want to bend the English language that much...
 
4:06 PM
It'll work out the kinks
 
@RegDwigнt She is not pretty.
 
See, with the improved title the MC bait actually got onto the MC.
Whodathunk.
 
Top 9 with five answers already.
Fifty answers more impending.
@KitFox There's a bear on the roof, he's going to jump, I'm gonna go talk at him?
I. Um. Wat.
 
I'm trying to help here.
At the expense of my job.
 
4:10 PM
Hey ich am not poking fun at dich.
Ich poken fun at Videos.

@RegDwigнt Why is that? Is she Hungarian?

How could one possibly parse that conversation that way. Unless one's Mitch, that is.
