<Ellied> young adult fantasies in 2117: 1) access to iodine, magnesium, iron, and other micronutrents. 2) ability to move outside of the tunnels without being immediately shot by drones. 3) possessing four undamaged limbs.
<UmbralRaptor> Hah. AAAAAAAAAAAA!

<egg|work|egg> UmbralRaptor: so ?
<egg|work|egg> !u ?
<Qboid> U+12137 CUNEIFORM SIGN HU (?)
<egg|work|egg> (yeah but also MUŠEN)
<UmbralRaptor> egg: So ????? roughly means catalog of stabby birds? (catalog bird swords)
<egg|work|egg> UmbralRaptor: ? doesn't mean catalogue
<egg|work|egg> it means star (it's a determinative for star)
<egg|work|egg> (or constellation)
<UmbralRaptor> hrm
<egg|work|egg> so it might mean "the constellation of bird stab" (probably missing some grammatical marks to actually means stabby birds)
<egg|work|egg> s/means/mean
<Qboid> egg|work|egg meant to say: so it might mean "the constellation of bird stab" (probably missing some grammatical marks to actually mean stabby birds)
<UmbralRaptor> That works.
<UmbralRaptor> If any Sumerians want to complain about my bad grammar, I'll gladly accept corrections. >_>
<UmbralRaptor> "Constellation of bird stab" will do for now.
<egg|work|egg> star: ?????
<egg|work|egg> (that's s-b-ꜣ sbꜣ (determinative for sun)
<egg|work|egg> yes there's the pronunciation twice in there O_o
<egg|work|egg> but once with an actual staR!
<egg|work|egg> s/R/r
<Qboid> egg|work|egg meant to say: but once with an actual star!

<egg|work|egg> you might be able to just use the sumerogram ?, but I'm not sure
<egg|work|egg> ask bofh to forward the question to his sumerian friends
<UmbralRaptor> Irkalla, professor emeritus at Ur University o_O
<bofh> UmbralRaptor: rofl, perfect. does it contain expressions involving nested commutators?
<UmbralRaptor> bofh: I don't think so? http://physics.gmu.edu/~pnikolic/PHYS684/homework/HW6.pdf

<Iskierka> Paper still being written, but elsewhere on the internet I'm talking to someone studying water-worlds in the context of potential exoplanets. Surprising conclusion: life is potentially very unlikely in such places, as low levels of erosion mean the ocean would be very mineral-poor
<Iskierka> (situation of subsurface oceans on local gas giant moons unclear, due to unknown conditions and whether they'd be able to generate unusually more erosion)
<SnoopJeDi> huh, there's a python library for talking to OBD-II. of course there is.
* UmbralRaptor is going to be amused if Peter Ward is right after all.
<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: habworlds2017 conference, or…?
<Iskierka> Probably, she presented yesterday
<Iskierka> and what would Peter Ward be right about?
<Iskierka> (Also nature wanted to talk to her, so there could be an article there before Arxiv. Will link whatever turns up)
<UmbralRaptor> Iskierka: the Rare Earth hypothesis.
<UmbralRaptor> …does the cookie mean business, or…? https://photos.app.goo.gl/CegebaF1AItRFWky1
<Iskierka> well, doesn't necessarily imply life planets are rare, just that it's likely they need to be significantly rocky
<kmath> <shawndgoldman> Tessa Fischer talking about "Limitations of Primary Productivity on “Aqua Planets:” Implications for Detectability.… https://t.co/opflwpomvw
<Iskierka> apparently another talk points out that we need to look at rocky planets just because aqua planets, if they can support life, are unlikely to have detectable life
<UmbralRaptor> ah, thanks
<egg|mobile|egg> UmbralRaptor: cats!?
<Iskierka> you mentioned the conference it would be at so I decided to go hunt it :p
<UmbralRaptor> Hm
<egg|mobile|egg> UmbralRaptor: are you feeding these cats
<UmbralRaptor> egg|mobile|egg: I've only seen the upper left cat before
<egg|mobile|egg> Are you paying them
<egg|mobile|egg> Uh
<egg|mobile|egg> s/ay/ett/
<Qboid> egg|mobile|egg meant to say: Are you petting them
<UmbralRaptor> egg|mobile|egg: Are you saying I should be using cats as research assistants?
<egg|mobile|egg> Clearly
<Iskierka> I'm noting the habworlds stream says "meeting is being recorded" so wondering if yesterday's recording is anywhere ...
