16:37 <Althego> kikkerikii

16:44 <Mat2ch> So, uh, how cold is it on Mars? Maybe I should move...

16:44 <Althego> hehe

16:46 <Mat2ch> Almost 45° C on my balcony

16:47 <Pinkbeast> It's down to 38 now, I should have brought a warm jacket for the ride home

16:47 <Pinkbeast> Fortunately, I had to do a lot of work in the server room today.

16:47 <Pinkbeast> Unfortunately, I had to do a lot of work in the server room today because all three AC units failed.

16:50 <Mat2ch> Are we still in Celsius?

16:56 <Pinkbeast> Yeah, I'm not American.

16:57 <Mat2ch> Then I hope you were joking about the jacket...

16:58 <Pinkbeast> Indeed. I'm British, which means you can tell I'm joking because I talk exactly the same way as when I am serious.

17:02 <packbart> I packed enough sunscreen for the camping week, I hope

17:04 <packbart> the forecast for Zeewolde isn't too hot, though. rainy 19°C on the arrival day. that's going to be fun

17:22 <Mat2ch> I want to go to the sea, too. But it's 500 km away at least. (I know, afternoon trip for americans)

17:24 <Pinkbeast> We're very close to the sea here in Cambridge. Unfortunately, only vertically

17:30 <Mat2ch> well, it's only 150 km to the beach then. Much closer. But still not nearby.

17:30 <Mat2ch> Have you ever been on a beach on the east side of England? How's the water there? Probably rather cold?

17:31 <sandbox> a long time ago

17:33 <Pinkbeast> Many times - before the damned plague I'd go to Whitby for the goth weekend twice a year, and on the Monday there's a beach party.

17:33 <Pinkbeast> The sea is indeed cold because it's the North Sea at the end of October. At night.

17:34 <Pinkbeast> The rules of the beach party are "1) don't be on fire" (a rule often broken) and "2) if you are on fire, do not go in the North Sea. It wants to kill you." (almost never broken)

17:34 <sandbox> I think it was Cromer beach we went to on a sunny day, or one of the other beaches around there

17:35 <Pinkbeast> Cromer's a way south of Whitby ;-)

17:36 <Mat2ch> sandbox: what do you remember about the ocean?

17:36 <sandbox> I also remember looking for hermit crabs near Scarborough

17:36 <sandbox> I don't remember the water

17:37 <Mat2ch> I remember the Baltic Sea in the 90s. It was rather cold. :D

17:37 <sandbox> closer to home, there's North Berwick beach

17:37 <Mat2ch> Now probably totally different. It's heating up quickly. Enough to kill many fish there

17:38 <sandbox> and Portobello beach

17:40 <Pinkbeast> Scarborough's the same neck of the woods but I guess it was not at night in October

17:44 <sandbox> Gullane beach was our favourite beach as kids

18:24 <FLHerne> We always used to go to Wells-next-the-Sea in the summer

18:24 <FLHerne> pitch a tent there for a couple of weeks and then go on the beach or the saltmarsh

18:25 <FLHerne> [on the Norfolk coast]

18:25 <FLHerne> actually we used to go to Stiffkey, but my mother got tired of Rob and I falling face-first in the saltmarsh literally every day

18:26 <FLHerne> (you can run on them, if you go fast enough so your feet don't sink! this is fun!)

18:26 <FLHerne> me and Rob even, I hate grammar

18:52 <SporkWitch> *Rob and I

18:52 <SporkWitch> :P

19:00 <FLHerne> no, I was right the second time :p

19:03 <Mat2ch> As a German: Rob and I. :D

19:04 <Pinkbeast> "Rob and me"

19:04 <Mat2ch> You are using your language wrong. We can create an over-engineered mechanical solution for this.

19:05 <Pinkbeast> In German I'm surprised it's not Robundmich because spaces are evil and must be punished

19:05 <Mat2ch> https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/eb/qa/Should-I-use-you-and-me-or-you-and-I

19:06 <SporkWitch> both english and german, when referring to yourself and others, "I" follows the others. Me is only used when you are the individual being acted upon (e.g. "he hit me," "that is me."). "They chased Joe and I; that's Joe and my house." (that last I'm not 100% sure is technically proper english; you'd usually just say "our," but if specifying specific individuals, "my" would be last)

19:06 <Pinkbeast> take out the "Rob and" and it's pretty clearly "me"

19:07 <Pinkbeast> (IDK what that link says but that's what it ought to say)

19:08 <Mat2ch> hm, it says that. Yes. So "me" is right.

19:09 <SporkWitch> Me is only correct if you are the only one listed. When giving a list of people it is "[others], and I"

19:10 <Pinkbeast> And in formal English it's always "X and me/I", never "I/me and X"

21:49 <LunchBot> On some good advice, you paint your rocket red in hopes it will go faster. You open your door, and - KERBS.

23:48 <LunchBot> You spend hours explaining in increasingly enraged tones how dividing by zero is not "scary" or "evil" or capable of "breaking the universe," it's just impossible, and everyone needs to shut up about it already. You fall off the Kuiper Cliff.

23:48 <XXCoder> dang I just was distracted, yelling

23:49 <raptop> F

23:52 <packbart> we can't afford to spend that many ressources on weirdly shaped rocks. we need that material elsewhere

23:52 <raptop> This is how you know that outcome was my fault https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_cliff

23:53 <packbart> I looked at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Kuiper_cliff - it's shorter ;)
