!wpn
* galois
gives egg|anbo|egg_ an action calcium gradient with a kobold attachment
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ !wpn whitequark
* galois
gives whitequark a wind-and-react exploding stroopwafel with a dipole attachment
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ looks like the bridge came back
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ oh I think the machine was running Principia benchmarks when it went wonky, maybe that’s why
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ the cat here drinks from a sink in the bathroom
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ but it’s getting old so I had to put some wine crates so the jump onto the bathtub on the way to the sink wasn’t so high, otherwise it slips often
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ nod
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ iirc what happened is that it used to try drinking from the sink when my grandfather used it to wash, so my grandfather decided to fill the other sink instead :-p
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ non-baseline capabilities require a _lot_ of protein
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ for reasons we're not aware of
* egg|anbo|egg__
remains confused
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ well things like plurality or rewiring
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ that didn't really clear it up did it?
<egg|anbo|egg__>
it did to an eggstent i think
<egg|anbo|egg__>
!wpn -add:wpn omelette
<galois>
Added wpn 'omelette'
* egg|anbo|egg__
was mostly confused by the term « sorcery » for that
<egg|anbo|egg__>
whitequark: on an unrelated note, did you know you can make an omelette using whisked egg
<egg|anbo|egg__>
it’s surprisingly easy & nice
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ egg: a friend calls any non-baseline capabilities "sorcery"
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ > a sorcerer is a person who does magic through an innate ability, honed and directed by study and practice
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ > a witch draws on natural sources
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ > a wizard has no innate ability, but draws on immense wisdom and knowledge to acquire it
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ it seems to fit.
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ any non-baseline capabilities we have, that is
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ re omelette: did not
<SnoopJ>
warlocks had to sign an NDA when enrolling in magick school
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ heh
<egg|anbo|egg__>
defining baseline nontrivial though
<SnoopJ>
isn't that literally trivia
<egg|anbo|egg__>
s/non/seems non/
<galois>
egg|anbo|egg__ meant to say: defining baseline seems nontrivial though

!ety trivial
<galois>
"'ordinary' (1580s); 'insignificant, trifling' (1590s), from Latin trivialis 'common, commonplace, vulgar,' literally 'of or belonging to the crossroads,' from trivium 'place where three roads meet,' in transferred use, 'an open place, a public place,' from tri- 'three' […]" - https://www.etymonline.com/word/trivial
<SnoopJ>
TIL the relation to vulgar
<egg|anbo|egg__>
there is no etymological relation to vulgar, it is listed as a translation of trivialis, but that only applies to some of the senses of vulgar
<SnoopJ>
no relation in the original Latin, you mean?
<egg|anbo|egg__>
yeah etymologically it is from tri- and via, vulgar is from vulgus, which is unrelated.
* SnoopJ
nod
<egg|anbo|egg__>
the translation « vulgar » of trivialis, next to the other ones, hints that only some meanings of « vulgar » apply
<egg|anbo|egg__>
which may not be the ones we would most commonly associate with it
<SnoopJ>
wiktionary gives that from 19c. which is honestly kind of a bonus: it's english fanfic about latin?
<galois>
raptop: I last saw ferram4 in here 2 years, 18 days ago, saying: Alternatively, use the turbojets to zoom climb and use the dive to pick up speed to light the ramjets
<raptop>
Also, it's clearly sorcery given that the Soviets used it to summon a monster on the Caspian Sea
