<UmbralRaptor> ;kmath does food exist?

<UmbralRaptor> uh oh

<SilverFox> wut
<UmbralRaptor> On an unrelated note, I got radiation burns again.
<UmbralRaptor> Yes, from a nuclear reactor. Yes, I saw a blue glow. No, it was Rayleigh, not Cherenkov.
<SilverFox> fuck yall and yer rose bullshit

<kmath> UmbralRaptor is correct: 26
<FluffyFoxeh> <@UmbralRaptor> On an unrelated note, I got radiation burns again.
<FluffyFoxeh> um
<FluffyFoxeh> are you sure you don't have cancer?
<UmbralRaptor> Don't be silly. For that I would need to lose my eyebrows and eyelashes.
* UmbralRaptor has neither.
<FluffyFoxeh> lol wow
<FluffyFoxeh> wait what
<UmbralRaptor> Also, the reactor that gave me the burns was gravitationally confined. >_>
<kmath> <DrPizza> @whitequark I now have the perfect excuse to persuade my wife to get more cats. We need... control cats.

<whitequark> yes you need flash, geez
<whitequark> how can you *not* have flash? you'll lose access to half of internet lore
<whitequark> egg: chromium broke flash (accidentally?) somewhere after M57
<whitequark> looks like M58
<whitequark> fuckers
<whitequark> oh hang on, I'm on M59 now and flash works
<egg|work|egg> whitequark: I think I have flash off unless eggsplicitly enabled?
<egg|work|egg> should update chrome here too btw

<egg|work|egg> so on my work machine flash is on ask, not block, but it's not asking me

<Iskierka> cat.
<Iskierka> whitequark, struggling to figure out how I sketch two concentric circles and extrude the area between them
<Iskierka> (or particularly manipulate workplanes to start at an offset)
<whitequark> Iskierka: sketch a circle, sketch another circle, select both centers and constrain coincident, extrude
<whitequark> you don't need a workplane for this
<Iskierka> ... okay helpful but now I'm stuck on the normal workplane and can't draw on the cylinder any more
<Iskierka> Or how to select both centers, I seem to only be selecting one of them
<Iskierka> While the initial sketch method was more obvious than freecad I can't figure out how to carry on beyond the first extrude, it seems

<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: I have questions for Real Life's level designers: https://goo.gl/photos/FHEXbD3hBazbxdy3A
<Iskierka> those are special baby balconies, the door's shorter than the walls so only babies too small to climb over can get out
<UmbralRaptor> hah
<UmbralRaptor> Apropos nothing, getting through a theatre checkpoint with 2 phones and 2 laptops is weird.
<Iskierka> why would that be weird?
<UmbralRaptor> Maybe it just felt weird. But I ended up using 4 bins.
<SnoopJeDi> I've taken to pulling my travel scale out of my carry-on whenever I fly, along with my laptop
<SnoopJeDi> If I leave it in the bag I get screened every time
<UmbralRaptor> hah
<UmbralRaptor> Oh, right. PDX has miljets.
* UmbralRaptor saw an F-18 taxiing.
<UmbralRaptor> … and an F-15
<egg|nomz|egg> UmbralRaptor: is there a technical webcast for the upcoming launch?
<egg|nomz|egg> UmbralRaptor: I generally end up using a comparable number of bins, with laptop + bag + jacket + coat (and in winter, boots too, but those aren't in a bin)
<egg|nomz|egg> UmbralRaptor: they don't make us put the phone in a separate bin though, so I dump it in my bag
<Technicalfool> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8mLi-rRTh8 tea minus 2m30s

<SnoopJeDi> Oh neat, Cliff Stoll did a TED talk some years ago
Thomas|AWAY is now known as Thomas
<SnoopJeDi> "Since lines cannot be drawn without a straightedge (1.), a line is considered to be given by two points."
<SnoopJeDi> "Since the thing we're trying to prove is impossible I guess let's change the definition?"
<SnoopJeDi> Math. Not even once.
<SnoopJeDi> (re: the Mohr-Masheroni theorem that any compass and straightedge construction can be made with compass alone)
<egg> SnoopJeDi: constructibility is about constructing points though; any line contains a whole lot of nonconstructible points, but they're not the point
<SnoopJeDi> right, I get what it's aiming at, that a line is sufficiently defined by two points so you've implicitly constructed it
<SnoopJeDi> it just tickled me
<SnoopJeDi> the way it's worded
<egg> yeah, it's also that you're *really not constructing* the other points
<SnoopJeDi> right, you're constructing a "line"
<SnoopJeDi> instead of a line
<egg> otherwise e.g. "right, the point at coordinates (0, π) is on the vertical line, done :-p)"
<egg> hah, in mail notifications twitter avatars are still rounded squares
<SnoopJeDi> they are on Twitter, too, for the right radius ;P
