[00:07:22] <aristarchus> ???
[00:09:08] aristarchus is now known as RunawayXXXX
[00:09:28] RunawayXXXX is now known as aristarchus
[00:12:48] <AzumaHazuki> ?
[00:13:34] <requerdanos> Thank you all. Next on random punctuation, we will look at the... semicolon! Stay tuned.
[00:18:14] <Bytram> aristarchus: whatcha doin?
[00:19:32] <Deucalion> Bytram, stand down.
[00:19:45] <AzumaHazuki> what the hell did I just walk into?
[00:19:56] * Bytram sits
[00:25:15] <FatPhil> j.w. /Triangle/ (2009) - liked it, an interestingly woven tale. Has some silly behaviour from the protagonists, but it's a twisty enough plot to keep me amused.
[00:25:35] aristarchus is now known as Archibald
[00:26:01] <FatPhil> rub onion into your scalp to encourage hair growth
[00:26:06] <Archibald> Bytram - in retaliation for Aristarchus impersonating me over some months time, I stole his nick and registered it
[00:26:24] <Archibald> Deucalion asked me to release it, and I have done so
[00:26:35] <Archibald> Aristarchus may aplogize any time.
[00:27:00] <Archibald> At which time, I may well aplogize in return.
[00:27:02] <Archibald> No big deal really
[00:27:34] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: a primary school playground
[00:27:45] <AzumaHazuki> oh, it's runaway again. figures
[00:28:03] * AzumaHazuki rolls eyes so hard the tendons in her skull ache
[00:28:27] <Archibald> Well yes, Zumi - two can play the same game, it was necessary that Aristarchus learn that lesson
[00:28:39] <Bytram> Archibald: no problem then, something tickled my "spidey sense" that 'something' was going on and I got curious. thanks for the explanation!
[00:28:54] <Archibald> lol
[00:29:26] <AzumaHazuki> Ari's no idiot. When he decides to stop trolling and post seriously he's one of the few posters with any philosohphical and logical chops on this site
[00:29:31] <AzumaHazuki> even i have trouble keeping up with some of it
[00:30:27] <Bytram> I agree, he's definitely got some smarts but seems to not make the best use of it. our loss, really.
[00:31:27] <FatPhil> He certainly has the potential to be insightful if he choses.
[00:31:39] <FatPhil> I wish there was a higher insight:trolling density though.
[00:32:25] <FatPhil> The funny thing is that he has such a recognisable style even when he A/Cs you know its him (for me he has a unicity distance of about 4 words, there's always some tell, maybe that's deliberate)
[00:33:15] <AzumaHazuki> Right? This is one reason I never post AC, because my sentence structure, grammar, and diction are immediately recognizable
[00:33:58] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: your vocabulary has a certain flair, as well. :)
[00:34:26] <Bytram> I mean that in a good way.
[00:34:41] <AzumaHazuki> what, all the Russian and Polish profanity? =P
[00:36:20] <Bytram> that's coming from a guy who, as a kid trying to look up the spelling for a word in the dictionary would find himself drawn to a picture, read the word and definition, and then (oftentimes related) next word, and the next, and the next thing I knew I had just spent a half hour reading the dictionary!
[00:36:42] <requerdanos> сука ыуат?
[00:36:50] <Bytram> well, that is especially distinctive!
[00:37:04] <AzumaHazuki> that's not the sound "bl" makes but close enough
[00:37:09] <Bytram> requerdanos: I think that is one of them!
[00:37:22] <requerdanos> I have the Russian keyboard but not the russian skills
[00:37:22] <AzumaHazuki> the Cyrillic alphabet makes my head hurt because so many of the letters LOOK like the Latin one but sound nothing like it
[00:37:44] <AzumaHazuki> backwards R is "ya," backwards N is "ee," and then there's sounds that don't actually exist in English
[00:38:01] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: yes, and have greek parallels that don't really help that much, either
[00:38:24] <AzumaHazuki> the six-pointed X-looking one is a guttural h/ch like Hebrew, the boxy W is "sh," and the boxy W with a tail is "sch" more or less
[00:38:58] <Bytram> how about the one that looks like a Greek Pi?
[00:39:13] <AzumaHazuki> is actually P, like in Greek
[00:39:19] <AzumaHazuki> and the phi-looking one is ph/f
[00:39:40] <Bytram> Oh? kewel!
[00:40:01] <AzumaHazuki> C is "s" and 3 is "z" which makes me blink and brain-freeze a moment
[00:40:20] <AzumaHazuki> but the 3-looking one that's a backwards C with a midlike is "e/eh"
[00:40:25] <AzumaHazuki> midline*
[00:40:52] <Bytram> fwiw, I can read ancient Greek about as well as, maybe, an 8-year-old child.
[00:41:11] <Bytram> fwiw, I can read ancient Greek about as well as, maybe, an 8-year-old Greek child.
[00:41:29] <AzumaHazuki> better than me. i still don't know some of the letters and can't tell where there's a leading H sound or which syllable is accented
[00:41:38] <FatPhil> As someone living in a town with 40+% russian speakers, seeing russian menus etc. everywhere I go, you're not quite right on all of those.
[00:41:46] <FatPhil> the six-legged spider is a zh
[00:42:01] <Bytram> As it was entirely self-taught, I figure that's not too bad for an American!
[00:42:06] <AzumaHazuki> oh, i may have got that confused with the "lowercase h rotated 180 degrees"
[00:42:18] <FatPhil> as in .g.igolo
[00:43:08] <Bytram> FatPhil: Like the 'G' in Giraffe?
[00:43:13] <AzumaHazuki> i mostly know the D letter from weird-looking emoij. it's used as part of kaomoji ("face characters") in Japan of all places
[00:43:35] <AzumaHazuki> there's even a font for it, monaa-ttf, as in "omae mo naa~" ("no u/you too")
[00:43:38] <FatPhil> I notice you have a weird polish-influenced (or Latvian, less likely) transliteration of pizdets too, you use a 'c' for the 'tz'/'ts' ending.
[00:43:39] <Bytram> imagine that!
[00:44:13] <AzumaHazuki> FatPhil: yeah transcribing this into English is hard. i think the tz/ts is "180-degree rotated h...with a tail" and that's not on my keyboard
[00:44:39] <FatPhil> Bytram: giraffe is only soft in my tongue, the french may make it softer though, gigolo is the canonical english extra soft examplar
[00:44:48] <Bytram> Oh, that's what I thought requerdanos started this all off with... what did he say, then?
[00:45:18] <Bytram> Like J as in Jeep?
[00:45:24] <FatPhil> So I say "dz"iraffe, not "zh"iraffe
[00:45:35] <Bytram> Oh!
[00:46:05] <Bytram> I know Dz, np!
[00:46:50] <FatPhil> Transliterating into ASCII is hard. I know SAMPA is popular, but I prefer Kirshenbaum, as it was the first one I learnt.
[00:47:35] <FatPhil> OK, that's not transliterating really, it's rendering phonetically, but it's close enough.
[00:48:19] <AzumaHazuki> hm...i actually do have some Polish background and can be heard to go "kurwa mac" now and then >>;
[00:48:25] <AzumaHazuki> good thing no one out here speaks it
[00:49:26] <Bytram> FatPhil: as in how one says thank you in Polish? dzing kwea?
[00:50:58] <FatPhil> If I ever knew Polish platitudes, I've forgotten them, it's been years since I was last there.
[00:51:22] <AzumaHazuki> that is basically the only Polish I know TBH
[00:51:36] <AzumaHazuki> i pick up little bits and pieces of other languages mainly so i can curse in them and not get in trouble
[00:52:28] <Bytram> After English, French, Spanish, and German, Polish was the next language I learned how to say "thank you". am now up past two dozen!
[00:53:45] <FatPhil> Pivo mocne and pivo ciemnie are about all I need to know.
[00:54:04] <FatPhil> If you know that, the bar staff will be happy that you at least tried.
[00:54:04] * AzumaHazuki wishes she weren't so deaf and could learn Mandarin because it looks like China is going to take over...ugh
[00:54:36] <FatPhil> It was a mistake letting unicode take over - we should have stayed ASCII!
[00:55:46] <AzumaHazuki> utf8 is fine (aside from all the damn emoji...)
[00:56:00] <FatPhil> The last time I used anything apart from a US kbd was 29 years ago, when I used a UK one, and I ditched that pretty quick when I realised I can do without the pound sign.

[13:11:48] <FatPhil> Anyone have any ideas what this might be: https://scontent-hel3-1.xx.fbcdn.net
[13:12:08] <FatPhil> it's sterling silver, and at the moment nothing appears to move.
[13:12:45] <FatPhil> hopefully I'll get my hands on it later to give it a prod and a pull.
[13:16:22] <Bytram> at first glance, looks like a tire pressure gauge, what does the other side look like?
[13:16:30] <Bytram> any markings?
[13:16:31] <FatPhil> has a ferrari da varese box, so might be something to do with a fountain pen
[13:17:21] <Bytram> dimensions?
[13:17:36] <FatPhil> my first thought was that it looked like a retractable pencil I once had. It does have pen/pencil-like dimensions
[13:18:37] <Bytram> so, roughly, 1/2in x 6in?
[13:19:14] <FatPhil> about 6" long, yes, but narrower
[13:20:11] <FatPhil> I've asked my mate to borrow it off his inlaws (who just discovered it), and bring it over.
[13:20:46] <Bytram> is that a recessed lever in the slot? Or a small, wire cable?
[13:21:16] <Bytram> oh, k. more details would help!
[13:21:24] <FatPhil> "there looks to be some sort of spring mechanism insideish"
[13:21:25] <Bytram> good luck
[13:21:43] <FatPhil> cheers

[13:22:44] <FatPhil> I'm just happy that I suggested "pencil" before he mentioned it was in a box from a pen manufacturer, that at least told me I was looking at it the right way
[13:24:47] <Bytram> That link strongly suggests it's a pen. I suspect the visible slot contains a recessed lever that, when pulled up, sucks ink into a reservoir.
[13:25:58] <FatPhil> I used to have a bladder fountain pen myself, I know the mechanism.
[13:29:55] * Bytram never had one, but vaguely recall seeing one, once. Thought it was Rube Goldberg-ish, but prolly still much better than a quill pen (which I'd seen an old relative once make with a pen knife and a goose feather!)
[13:36:09] <FatPhil> the lever mechanism of mine was a bit gunked up, so I never used that pen, however, I had another which could take cartridges, but also had a detachable bladder that could be slotted on like a cartridge, and had a built-in squeezy pump mechanism. That was my favourite.

[14:30:46] <FatPhil> I cannot put into words how much I hate the phrase *"a long ways", so I won't say anything.
[14:38:31] <Bytram> Supertramp: "take the long ways home" (evil grin and wink)
[14:44:36] <FatPhil> Because of that, I promise I will never play another Supertramp song ever again in my whole life.
[14:44:53] <FatPhil> Should be easy, as I've never played one before in my life.
[14:58:03] <bacteria> soon its gonna be belarussia har har
[14:58:05] <bacteria> mt
[15:03:54] <FatPhil> it was belarussia when I was a kid
[15:04:04] <FatPhil> it was roumania when I was a kid too
[15:04:10] <FatPhil> and yugoslavia
[15:04:15] <FatPhil> and czechoslovakia
[15:04:28] <FatPhil> bloody eastern europeans changing their bloody names
[15:05:18] <FatPhil> hmmm, it was probably belorussia, thinking about it.
[15:17:12] <bacteria> my friend was asking me how is it in russia now...
[15:17:42] <bacteria> and i am like, i dunno man, except that putin looks more more like lukashenko every day
[15:22:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, tried sliding that ring on it yet?
[15:56:40] <FatPhil> Nothing moves at the moment. When I get my hands on it, I shall try WD40, and just warming it up in my hands to see if differential expansion will enable some movement.
[15:57:18] <FatPhil> but the end of the slot and the ring being at the same place does imply it might move in the slot.
[15:57:38] <FatPhil> as it's antique silver, we don't want to be too expermimental or invasive
[15:57:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know i've seen one of those before but it was probably 35 years ago. i'm fairly certain the ring moves and makes the thing in the middle do something.
[15:58:31] <FatPhil> "The way to remove limescale from a kettle is to smelt it, and skim the slag off the top"
[15:58:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> ha! i just moved to tn and made a few pots of tea. all gone.
[15:59:01] <FatPhil> ^ From an actual exam question answer at one of the schools I went to.
[16:00:05] <FatPhil> I think I'd prefer soft to hard water, I've had hard all my life, and right now's is harder than ever before, and some terrible metals, so I'm sick of it.
[16:00:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, i'm dead certain i've seen that before. and knew what it was. no idea what it is now though.
[16:11:13] <Runaway1956> FatPhil's pencil-dimensioned thingy looks vaguely like a knife sharpening tool, except those rings would catch the blade. No idea what that slot in the side is for. Odd looking thingy.
[16:12:56] <Runaway1956> Also vaguely resembles a desoldering tool. If there's a hole in the end, and a spring inside, maybe suck up melted solder.
[16:13:20] <Runaway1956> Pretty small though - would probably get fouled pretty quickly.
[16:21:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think it's an office tool of some sort but it's sitting just outside what i can remember. asked dad since he had one back then but his eyes ain't great and his memory ain't up to the task either.

[19:06:55] <Fnord666> FatPhil: I'm going to say that it's a propelling pencil. The window shows how much lead is left. The tail cap turns to advance or retract the lead. The cap will twist off.
[19:08:32] <Fnord666> Since it has a ring at the top and not a clip, and given the proportions, it would have been made for a woman and worn around the next on a chain.
[19:08:59] <FatPhil> Fnord666: that was exactly my thoughts the instant I saw it, as I used to have one just like it, even down to the texture of the silver.
[19:09:41] <FatPhil> mine had the pocket clip of course, smart thinking about the ring
[19:10:35] <Fnord666> Hmmm, on second thought pencils rarely had caps.
[19:12:17] <Fnord666> Might still be though. I've not seen a fountain pen though with a fill mechanism that looked like that.

[21:13:09] <omgwtf> wut
[21:30:54] <Bytram> Fnord666: some of my mechanical pencils had caps to protect the eraser. Kept it clean and free from body oils and the like

[22:36:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea. never heard of such a thing until my brain said it to me.
[22:36:37] <FatPhil> For some bizarre reason, it doesn't stop me eating kebab pizza.
[22:37:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> wouldn't help much in the south either. pizza, anything on a stick, and anything deep fried are all fair game for eating by hand.
[22:37:29] <FatPhil> TBH, I don't even remember if it was a UK comedian or a US one. Quite a while back.

[23:14:11] <Runaway1956> c0lo - there's a wee bit of "new" news in that blurb - specifically, that Assange is actually seeking bail, and the there is about a snowball's chance in hell that he might get it

[23:49:18] <AzumaHazuki> regarding Fuji greening, does the word "albedo" appear anywhere in there?
[23:49:53] <AzumaHazuki> ice has a high albedo. the cryosphere is one of the major components of the negative-feedback cycle helping keep the warming down. if we lose that, the planet absorbs a lot more heat and warms faster
[23:50:10] <AzumaHazuki> but sure, sit there and snark at the science you're too dumb to understand 9_9
