[01:03:51] <ted-ious> Or maybe the ukrainian language really is just a dialect of russian that was created by a bunch of british spooks.
[01:04:18] <ted-ious> I'd really love to see somebody put together a detailed presentation on that theory.

[06:45:38] <FatPhil> ted-ious: there's plenty of disagreement about the history, but one thing that is absolutely agreed upon by everyone is that russian in no way can be a pre-cursor to ukrainian. Ukrainian is *way* closer to the common ancestor of the two, so if anything Ukrainian is the continuation of the old Ruthenian and the Old Slavic of the Kyivin Rus, and Russian is many steps away from that (moscow and novgorod
[06:45:44] <FatPhil> spoke different "Russian" languages until only a couple of hundred years ago).
[06:49:09] <FatPhil> No-one can even agree on whether the "Russ" in "Russia" is actually derived from the known-ancient "Rus". Many Russians seem to deny it, for some reason.

[07:00:17] <FatPhil> But to TL;DR it down to your level: Everything was invented by glorious mother Russia, hail Putin.
[07:11:22] <inz> ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOPUTIN
[07:21:06] <Ingar> it's like those people claiming that land in the desert is theirs because their holy book says so
[07:43:34] <chromas> Gettin' a little anti-semitic in here
[07:45:31] <inz> I personally hate all people equally.
[07:55:56] <FatPhil> "Manifest Destiny" is a better example.
[07:56:17] <FatPhil> Most of the desert dwellers have a claim on the desert because they're already dwellers there.
[09:12:45] <Ingar> chromas: I mean the great egyptian people, obviously
[09:41:31] <FatPhil> Oh, no, someone called the kopts!

[10:29:01] <FatPhil> Yanks: "Today, Democrats traditionally sit on the presiding officer's right, and Republicans on the left." Who is the "presiding officer"?
[10:29:23] <FatPhil> When I follow the link that googoo summary points to, I get a blank page

[10:36:07] <FatPhil> Grrr. IMHO, the webpage should have used capital letters, as that's a formal title.

[12:42:33] <lld> needs more government funding
[12:44:50] <FatPhil> I can see a shorter path between what we have now and actual self driving cars than what we have now and actual fusion power generation.
[12:55:27] <requerdanos> yeah, fusion power has been decades away for decades.
[13:07:10] <FatPhil> To be more precise, it's been 3 decades away for 3 decades.
[13:08:12] <FatPhil> My applied maths tutor at uni worked on JET, a crazily smart guy, I think it's good science that they're doing, I just think the public relations people need to stop telling fables.
[13:09:52] <FatPhil> When people ask me why I'm so pro-fission (in particular SMRs), I generally just say that it's what we will absolutely need for the 100-200 years before we get fusion working.
[13:10:26] <FatPhil> Better to be pessimistic in that regard.
[13:12:20] * FatPhil totally doesn't give any investing advice, but drops the $SMR ticker subtly on-channel.
