;kmath does food exist?
<kmath>
UmbralRaptor: Very doubtful
<UmbralRaptor>
uh oh
<SnoopJeDi>
my current level of combined laziness and hunger confirms this

SnoopJeDi: yay.

(my brother taught me it. SilverFox never figured it out)
<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

<@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.

whitequark: "If you can read this something went wrong :( Also, if you're using the Internet Explorer, you should really consider changing to a better browser."
<egg>
chrome 58 here
<egg>
chrome 59 now, same
<egg>
oh wait does this have flash?
<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 has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
egg|work|egg has joined #kspacademia
<egg|work|egg>
so on my work machine flash is on ask, not block, but it's not asking me
<egg|work|egg>
enabling it on the site makes it work though so that's fine

gives whitequark a Maclaurin sabot with a COME FROM attachment
<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
<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
