<bofh> !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
<bofh> (egg: confirm^?)
<UmbralRaptop> yes, but the unicode replacement character…
<UmbralRaptop> … can I convert the covectors into cokittens instead? https://photos.app.goo.gl/nkdXuk5gmtAabBf3A
<bofh> where's the unicode replacement char? not seeing it here.
<UmbralRaptop> !u d'Aé�ron
<galois> Whoa now, that's too many characters, hoss
<UmbralRaptop> !u d'Aé�r
<galois> Whoa now, that's too many characters, hoss
<UmbralRaptop> !u Aé�r
<galois> A: U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
<galois> é: U+00e9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
<galois> �: U+fffd REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
<galois> r: U+0072 LATIN SMALL LETTER R
* UmbralRaptop 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.

<UmbralRaptop> "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.

<bofh> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D22qN-GU0AAM92-.jpg:orig this is such a personal attack,
<UmbralRaptop> aaaaaaaaaa
<whitequark> bofh: lmao
<whitequark> also why are you not /nick mofh here
<whitequark> the evidence is overwhelming,
<bofh> ...that is a good point.
bofh is now known as mofh
<SnoopJeDi> 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
<mofh> whitequark: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP_Kbd3aamTZ8pzzqF17oXHyq1XsMIG3x-JXuqP_XQKmAOkY7klZoGTataJ9rFmwQ/photo/AF1QipPSqzTiAELADjVslAbYtYxAmrzMDaeM2_6F6_lZ?key=am9TN0IzZFpBWDBiWU5qSHJyR3MwMEhQVE1INFVB am reminded of being so distracted by the hanging xmas lämps that I very nearly tripped over the Vélib docking station there on the right.
<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.
<mofh> (this, erm, may be based on actual events,)
<whitequark> lmao
