<whitequark> котя is feeling quite fine recently
<whitequark> she settled in a stroller outside of the apt but inside of the house, and comes to the apt a few times per day
<egg|zzz|egg> are the neighbours still complaining that she tries to eat their dogs?
<whitequark> haven't talked much with them but presumably yes
<whitequark> since she hasn't become any less vicious
<kmath> <parport0> @whitequark https://t.co/OGsmov6ToC
<egg|zzz|egg> whitequark: has she done any new fancy catcognitiony things?
<egg|zzz|egg> also have you eaten more moths
<UmbralRaptor> Moths are insufficiently evil. Consume Anapheles mosquitoes.
<egg|zzz|egg> mothemagicians https://twitter.com/chordbug
<UmbralRaptor> Also, yeah. Unless you mean something different, please do not eat that moth.
<whitequark> egg|zzz|egg: no/no

<Qboid> egg|zzz|egg meant to say: bPlayer: ^
<BPlayer> egg: Ah, thanks a lot! Although the Wikipedia page edit seems rather recent, I only found the old domain names yesterday.
<BPlayer> Anyway, the reply that says it's blocked on the DNS level was most useful to me, I'll just memorize the IP adress and go with that
<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: .bz too I think
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: no more
<bofh> Damn.

BPlayer is now known as APlayer
<APlayer> Humm, that Sci-Hub Wikipedia page... German version first sentence, roughly translated: "Sci-Hub is an illegal library with a web-archive of academic papers, which are only available behind a paywall otherwise." English version first sentence: "Sci-Hub is a website with over 64.5 million academic papers and articles available for direct download."
<APlayer> So much for Wikipedia neutrality
<Ellied> er, well, saying it's illegal is not really biased because it's true in most places
<APlayer> The two different versions have a totally different flavour to them
<APlayer> Sure, the topic is controversial, but the fact that you can clearly read two different implications from the articles serves to prove that neither of them is objective and neutral enough
<bofh> Also like, I think "illegal library" sort of cuts to the point of "how badly have we fucked up as a society that a library can be *illegal*" too.
<Ellied> ^
<APlayer> That's a point indeed. This is a single word in German, "Schattenbibliothek". It /is/ a composite word indeed, but not in the sense "I will just slap two words together to combine their meaning", it has evovled its own sort of meaning.
<APlayer> Literally it translates as "shadow library", which totally sounds like xkcd material

<APlayer> Finally, some sanity. This article should be linked to from 50 % of the places on the internet as a precaution: https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/five-impossible-facts-that-would-have-to-be-true-if-the-earth-were-flat-7d72c69f73ec

<UmbralRaptor> Note to self: do not confuse "bysmal" (underwater) with "bismal" (contains bismuth)
<bofh> egg|zzz|egg: well it's more like "βυθός" means something like "depth of the sea, deep water" (it's actually cognate to English "deep" via metathesis from the PIE root) & ἄβυσσος therefore means something like "unfathomable"
<bofh> or "bottomless"
<bofh> abysmal is just that borrowed into Latin with an adjectival modifier :P
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: yeah I know
APlayer has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<egg|zzz|egg> bofh: but "unfathomable" and "at depth" seem somewhat similar
APlayer has joined #kspacademia
<bofh> well the notion of at depth implies that one can, in fact, hit bottom :P

<soundnfury> wait, are the names of principia releases implied to be coauthors?
<soundnfury> also, does a coauthor convert copapers into ffee?
