I think it's kind of a pity that 10^2 and 10^3 aren't 'teen' and 'teeen'
<Iskierka>
how would you distinguish pronunciation?
<Pinkbeast>
Carefully.
<UmbralRaptor>
Why speak when you can type?
<Iskierka>
some people don't have the IRC neural interface
<Pinkbeast>
I do, it drives it via these stubby things on the ends of my arms... oh, not like that?
* UmbralRaptor
has notably used textchat in various online games in preference to voice chat. >_>
<Iskierka>
There are people who don't even have that one!

This is why all healthcare plans should support surgery to implant RJ-45 jacks into the back of one's neck!
<Pinkbeast>
... but a hundred companies already make these
<Iskierka>
links?
<Pinkbeast>
I dunno, but I keep seeing them in dealer rooms, at WGT etc
<Pinkbeast>
The value of "a hundred" may be total guesswork

Iskierka: that reminds me at some point I should get some sealing wax, not that I have a use for it, but it sounds silly and fancy :-p
<egg>
(though I'd need a seal...)

UmbralRaptor: there needs to be a seal of the anglo-norman bovine observatory!

Pinkbeast, I've not seen ones with the nice features like the removable inner notebooks, though I've possibly not searched enough
Lyneira has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<Iskierka>
two of the top 4 google results for "removable inner notebook" are patents which isn't promising for them already existing, though
<Pinkbeast>
Surely the Victorians invented all possible notebook configurations already
<Iskierka>
you'd've thought so but people might not have continued making the unpopular ones
<Pinkbeast>
Not that, I just mean, I can't believe there's any valid patents to be issued in the field
<Iskierka>
well google found two *shrug*
<Iskierka>
tbf they might just be indexed applications, I didn't look close
<Pinkbeast>
Or patent offices might be in the habit of rubber-stamping any old crap without regard to prior art :-(
<Iskierka>
tbf on the practical side I could do fine without the leather, but I like the way their refills work with tiny notebooks that can be reorganised. Searching for refillable notebook I'm not quickly coming across anything comparable
<Iskierka>
on the non-practical side these ones in particular are pretty and they claim further down that this pricing is fairly cheap
<Iskierka>
although the kickstarter does not make clear where & pricing of new inner notebooks
