The Bridge

> Ashley gained immense popularity as a female first name in the United States in the late 20th century, outranking boys' usage by the 1980s and reaching #1 for girls' usage in 1991. Its rise in popularity is attributed to the female soap opera character Ashley Abbott on The Young and The Restless in 1982.

Oh huh, interesting

Crazy soap operas

Interesting how names can suddenly become super popular due to a character or RL famous person

Eventually I shall upgrade my pool file

My mom always wanted a kid named Ashley after Ashley from Gone with the Wind

@Yuuki that would make tea time even better. Perfect for Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Wipqozn

Oh excellent

> The name is found in United States records from the 19th century; the name Wendy appeared over twenty times in the U.S. Census of 1880. In Britain, Wendy appeared as a name for both women and men in the 1881 census of England, and was occasionally used as a diminutive for the Welsh Gwendolyn.

Wendy is unisexual

BECAUSE THAT MEANS

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki do want

Wipqozn

@Ash You should have changed your name to Wendy, so then you can go "I guess you could say my old name is.... gone with the wind!"

There, I did it. It took four edits, but I got there.

Q: Minecraft won't update past 1.5.1

When I try to log in on the first screen when you've double clicked the icon it says: "Can not connect to Minecraft.net" when I clearly have wifi. I have to play in offline mode which means I can't update it. Any help?

Wipqozn

@Ash It's hilarious, I know

Avery

SO Careers pls

Yuuki

Or @Ashes to ashes.

Wipqozn

and as well know important life changing decisions which are very personal should always be made based on rather or not you can crack lame jokes using it

If I ever have a kid I'll need to give them some name that works well for jokes with "Cave"

(the context is my last name is cave)

Yuuki

You should name your kid "Story" on the off chance that he becomes a secret agent or gets really into James Bond.

Unionhawk

(/remove defaults to @Wipqozn)

Yuuki

Cave, Story (... Cave)

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune That name was provided much amusement over the years, since for years teachers could never pronounce my name. I think I was 12 by the time people started pronouncing my name correctly all the name. The fact English teachers would pronounce it wrong was the most amusing. Also a little worrying.

@Yuuki Actually that will work on like, lists and stuff too

Since a lot of lists and documents will list names as "Family Name, Surname"

Yuuki

6:33 PM

Teachers and names are fun.

Wipqozn

So basically that's brilliant @Yuuki

Yuuki

I've had a substitute pronounce my name as "Scott".

Which if you know my name, as @Wipqozn does, you'd know that it's an astounding feat.

Tim Stone

Wait what? >_>

Wipqozn

How is that even possible

Yuuki

I. Have. No. Idea.

Avery

6:36 PM

wait seriously how

Wipqozn

I wonder if Ned became more popular after thrones

djsmiley2k

Nick? as in...

user15026

@Yuuki if your name is what I vaguely remember it being how does that even.

Wipqozn

I'm thinking the exact same thing

like I feel like I must be remembering it wrong

That's probably the cause for the confusion

@Wipqozn French or English pronunciation (I'm assuming not a Dutch pronunciation)?

Avery

I got ppl at starbucks writing my name as "evrim"

Wipqozn

@Arperum It's pronounced like "Brian", but some folks pronounced it "Byron"

Which I get. I don't get how people get from @Yuuki to Scott

Also @Arperum you're in my starting squad

Let's see if you survive the first mission

Wipqozn

6:50 PM

@Dragonrage is already kicking ass. He pierced some alien with a grappling hook, pulled him over, and then cut his throat.

Yuuki

My dog just tried to hump my leg. I thought that was a male behavior?

Avery

@Avery so yeah I use my initial now

Yuuki

And was something unspayed dogs did.

Wipqozn

And @Dragonrage also just dodged two overwatch shots so he could get a flanking shot.

What a bad ass

RedRiderX

@Avery That still seems like the vaguest suggestion of an 'a'

Avery

6:54 PM

@RedRiderX it's better than "evrim"

Ronan

Noooooooooo This is the worst

Avery

evrim is a male name.

actually til: evrim is unisex.

Ronan

I've started playing Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, and they've got voice acted Wright & Maya, and they have really LA accents.

@Avery An entire squad

I didn't expect that patrol to climb on the roof, so I got caught completely out of position

and was flanked

So I was down one man right away. Also sight lines in this game continue to be kind of dumb.

Didn't notice I wouldn't have LOS somewhere. I should have checked, but honesstly, made no sense for me not to have it

BUT WHATEVER

(also cc @GodEmperorDune)

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage IT was bound to happen eventually

In my defense you guys should just be better at dodging bullets

@Dragonrage dodged like, 10 shot at him. 4 of which were flanking him. He was kind of a bad ass.

And he was panicked too!

Which isn't very bad ass, but still

If you all just dodged like @Dragonrage you may have lived

Dragonrage

On the bright side I disocvered that Templars are way more awesome than I realized. They get a free move after using the melee.

@KevinvanderVelden Taking all the bubbles out of it?

GodEmperorDune

Heavy water

Heavy water (deuterium oxide, 2H 2O, D 2O) is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (2H or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (1H or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water. The presence of deuterium gives the chemical different nuclear properties, and the increase of mass gives it different physical and chemical properties compared to normal "light water". == Explanation == Deuterium is a hydrogen isotope with a nucleus containing a neutron and a proton; the nucleus...

Kevin van der Velden

9:02 PM

This episodes random species lives in an ocean world (as in, no land, held together by some kind of reactor thing), they get oxygen from giant factories in the water

And this is somehow making it denser causing problems

Yuuki

Is there not even an ocean floor of sorts?

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden i think it's just "this is our allegory for mining's environmental damage"

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki no, a machine drew all the water from a planet and moved it into space for ocean-world

@GodEmperorDune undoubtedly

Sometimes I just snag on technobabble that makes especially little physical sense

That first mission is always the hardest

John

Am I alive again?

Wipqozn

9:11 PM

well second mission

first non-gatecrasher one

Yuuki

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me since extracting oxygen from water means water splitting. And conservation of mass means you can't really get a net increase of mass from that process.
