<awang>
Does the "total possible combinations" thing include the occasional <something>/<something> hybrid or the other variations of descriptions?
<UmbralRaptor>
yes
<UmbralRaptor>
Which is why it doesn't fit into a 32bit integer.

so not only does trump's sham survey thing not include a "poor" option for his own performance (which it does for Obama), it also tells me "enter a valid name" if I put my perfectly normal/legal ASCII last name into the last name field.
<SnoopJeDi>
that full-page rule is damned good!
<Ellied>
looks like it won't take anything but Basic Latin capital and lowercase letters
<SnoopJeDi>
Ellied, what char broke it, hyphen?
<Ellied>
aye
<Ellied>
also tried accented characters (although my name doesn't contain any) just to see, and yeah it won't allow those either
<SnoopJeDi>
We get a lot of kids coming to the Festival (I mean, they're mostly the *point* of the Festival), and they usually ask some pretty great questions during the public lecture
<SnoopJeDi>
I can't recall what this boy asked during his lecture, but I do recall the answer was something along the lines of "well come up with your own theory and get back to me" lmao
<UmbralRaptor>
Fun fact: having 2 middle names made it weirdly hard to get my car registered in VA.
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: I guess not being american would make things worse then :-p

Having just finished Hidden Figures this week, VA is...problematic.
<SnoopJeDi>
Not that I didn't know growing up in the DelMarVa area, but jeez. Creating subsidies for black graduate students to attend schools *anywhere else* is insane
<SnoopJeDi>
Um those are historical subsidies from said history, not a present-day thing
<UmbralRaptor>
still, eek
<SnoopJeDi>
OTOH, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson are way cooler IRL than their Hollywood depictions :D

<egg|anbo|egg>
how can a feline be fish-incompatible
<UmbralRaptor>
Is this a felidae cat, or a Siluriformes cat?
<egg|anbo|egg>
UmbralRaptor: is it a мак
<UmbralRaptor>
I'm not sure how to make that sort of cat fish-compatible.
