<UmbralRaptor> !wpn Majiir
* Qboid gives Majiir a europium ?
<whitequark> !wpn UmbralRaptor
* Qboid gives UmbralRaptor a cerium [REDACTED] piston which vaguely resembles a demon
<whitequark> !wpn bofh_
* Qboid gives bofh_ a conducting equality
<whitequark> !wpn GreeningGalaxy
* Qboid gives GreeningGalaxy a short vertical (with ground plane)
<UmbralRaptor> !wpn whitequark
* Qboid gives whitequark a bipolar junction pommel
<UmbralRaptor> That sounds like it would be used for something.

<UmbralRaptor> LSST-DSFP was apparently 15x oversubscribed.
* UmbralRaptor didn't get a first round acceptance, so p(rejection) ~1
<GreeningGalaxy> bofh_: afaict, all the radii are the same as SHV, the tube (metal and internal plastic) are just really long.
<GreeningGalaxy> the pin is waaaay down there inside.
Majiir is now known as Snoozee
<UmbralRaptor> Hrm. Class I'm TAing is down to 15 students.
<GreeningGalaxy> theres a joke among physics students who have had to take chemistry that chem majors undergo radioactive decay into bio/enviro majors, with a half-life of about three weeks.
<GreeningGalaxy> (by week three, about half the class has fled, and by week 10, there are only a couple rows filled)
<UmbralRaptor> eek

<UmbralRaptor> egg|cell|egg: how so?
<UmbralRaptor> (Also, I would have expected any classes in ETHZ you were TAing to be in English? >_>)
<Iskierka> UmbralRaptor, 15 attending or 15 on the register?
<soundnfury> UmbralRaptor: clearly you unscrew the bipolar junction pommel from your circuit and throw it at your amplifier to end it rightly
<UmbralRaptor> soundnfury: Or maybe you use it for part of a fencing sword?
<soundnfury> I take it you didn't get my reference?
<soundnfury> (also, is "fencing" some sort of electronics pun here that I'm missing?)
<UmbralRaptor> No pun, just that modern foils/epees/sabres have a bit of electronics.
* UmbralRaptor collides with a null pointer.

<UmbralRaptor> TESS?
<UmbralRaptor> NICER?
<UmbralRaptor> !acr -add:TESS Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<UmbralRaptor> !acr -add:Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<Iskierka> didn't that add the acronym as Neutron = Star Interior Composition Explorer?
<UmbralRaptor> oops
<UmbralRaptor> !acr -remove:Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: I removed the explanation for Neutron
<UmbralRaptor> !acr -add:Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: I added the explanation for this acronym.
<Iskierka> Neutron?
<Qboid> Iskierka: [Neutron] => star Interior Composition ExploreR
<Iskierka> ^ the problem
* UmbralRaptor ? UmbralRaptor
<UmbralRaptor> !acr -remove:Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: I removed the explanation for Neutron
<UmbralRaptor> !acr -add:NICER Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR

<Iskierka> egg|cell|egg, random channel-hopper person is angry at the existence of #!/bin/sh
<egg|cell|egg> O_o
<Iskierka> at least I presume so, they're in there complaining something's impossible
<UmbralRaptor> ?
<Iskierka> or I'm confused. The part/join before wasn't them but I don't remember a handicraftsman. looks like they're complaining about a mystery bot?

<Iskierka> nice but confusing: all my fountain pen inks seem to barely bleed through at all despite being really distinct, any rollerball or such that leaves a decent line bleeds all the way through
<Iskierka> I'm not sure how they achieve this combination but it's a nice plus to already nice pen + ink

<UmbralRaptor> Ah, that.
* UmbralRaptor pokes hips with a stick.
* UmbralRaptor knows people that have just about done that.
<UmbralRaptor> Probably easier now, with raspis and wifi.
<Iskierka> invent tiny nuclear batteries and there could be pi0s lost for years that will still happily chat with everything else on the network
<Iskierka> add an accelerometer and they could email you for help when you accidentally put them through the washing machine
