!acr -add:NOSTRADAMUS NOuveau Système TRAnshorizon Décamétrique Appliquant les Méthodes Utilisées en Studio
<galois>
Definition added!
<bofh>
STRADIVARIUS seems to be "Système TRAnhorizon Décamétrique d'Identification de Vaisseaux et d'Aé�ronef" but I suspect part of the acronym is missing since I'm only getting STRADIVA or STRADIVAR at best out of that.
<bofh>
d'Aéronefs*
<UmbralRaptop>
d'Aé�ronef seems difficult to pronounce
<bofh>
Aéronef just means "aircraft", lol

(egg: confirm^?)
<UmbralRaptop>
yes, but the unicode replacement character…
<bofh>
where's the unicode replacement char? not seeing it here.

stares. Stephen Baxter named some of his novels after features of Penrose diagrams?
<UmbralRaptop>
Oh, hey. The Alcubierre metric is a random eggsample in this textbook
<bofh>
I mean it's Stephen Baxter. Having read some of his novels, that honestly anti-surprises me.
<bofh>
I recall really liking The Light of Other Days, but I read it when I was still in highschool so it might not be anywhere near as good as I recall it being.

"slowly but inevitably, engineering challenges that seem insurmountable today will become real targets; challenges such as gathering enough resources to collapse into a blackhole."
<e_14159>
UmbralRaptop: It's only a small black hole.
<UmbralRaptop>
details!
<e_14159>
An teensy tiny black hole.

oh cool, my advisor interpreted "With your permission, I'm going to keep my network feelers open on part-time opportunities, for the non-financial reasons I mentioned." as "lol nah don't pay me with the funding you didn't realize you have bc you can't math" and I am unemployed in 3 days.
<mofh>
SnoopJeDi: what the *actual fuck*?
<SnoopJeDi>
tl;dr my advisor is a moron and I am a bad student
<SnoopJeDi>
perfect clusterfuck
<mofh>
SnoopJeDi: oof.
<mofh>
(is there nobody in the department you can complain about urgently re: funding?)
<SnoopJeDi>
there are some possibilities, although I'll have to address them on Monday once I've figured out exactly what's going on in my advisor's brain
* UmbralRaptop
screams internally
<SnoopJeDi>
...I guess I'll submit that Wikimedia contract job application after all though
<mofh>
SnoopJeDi: yeah what the shit is up with your advisor, like that takes some talent to fuck up your own funding *and then* when realizing you have some, not give it to your student???
<SnoopJeDi>
he's probably allocated it to the other budgetary stuff in the lab along the lines of the normal robbing-peter-to-pay-paul stuff
<SnoopJeDi>
which I frankly can't even criticize, the rest of the lab runs a lot smoother than I do
<SnoopJeDi>
I'd say I'm not sure how he misread the sentence, but come to think of it, knowing him, he probably didn't read it at all.
<mofh>
SnoopJeDi: *blink* *blink*
<mofh>
SnoopJeDi: I mean sure, but last I checked you're still his student.
<mofh>
and so therefore allocating enough money so that you don't starve should be somewhere in his mind >_>
<whitequark>
mofh: lmao
<mofh>
whitequark: the running joke is that if you want me to find my way into a place you put a lock and an "Accès Interdit" sign on it, and if you want me to *not* go somewhere you hang some blinkenlights next to the door, the more elaborate the blinking pattern the better. Lock optional.
