Good not-quite-afternoon, to everyone who shares our timezone. And good afternoon to everyone later, and good morning to everyone earlier.
Good afternoon, everyone.
We just saw player pianos referred to as "steampunk midi sequencers", and I love that.
If you aren't arachnophobic, and you haven't before, you owe it to yourself to look up pictures of jumping spiders (also called salticids). They're downright adorable!
Good morning, everyone!
@ValErie Oh my goodness you're adorable!
Trying to put hard rules on how English works is like trying to scoop up water with a sieve.
English is as inconsistent a language as we've ever seen with how it handles just about everything; almost any rule you make is going to have countless exceptions.
It's a Germanic substrate, covered up almost entirely by layers of Norman French, Latin, then non-Norman French, and a thin layer of Spanish, with chunks of Greek dispersed throughout, and a sprinkling of Japanese on top.
@Felthry Anden has returned! it's good to see them again. For the moment, if they want to say something, we'll just use the account of whoever's fronting and make it clear that Anden is speaking, I think. If they decide they want to have a more personal account, though, we'll make them one.
So... @Felthry and I might be getting a new headmate today or in the near future. We have a feeling that Anden, someone we knew from the first era (around 2012, iwrc) is returning. It'll be good to see them again! They never were interested in fronting, so it's unlikely they'll have an account here (though we might make one if they want to say something by proxy), but I thought we should mention it!
I had a sudden thought: When talking about Native American cultures, it's common to see the term "medicine man". Why not just use the term "pharmacist", which it sounds like is what they were and sounds less childish/primitive? Is it just racism?
I'm a big, fluffy firedog! <3

A hydra who has only one head, because for some reason everyone xe asks to do xem a favor by cutting off xir head suddenly remembers some pressing prior engagement.
when we ask wolfram alpha to do a computation involving "silicon bandgap", we do not in fact mean "silicone bandgap", why would anyone ever care about the bandgap of silicone?

We just learned that apparently an analyst at Goldman Sachs officially stated that curing patients is not good business. They want to make long-term therapy the norm, rather than single treatments that remove the problem.
Hm. Why the sudden wave of people referencing homestuck?

When dealing with alchemists, someone giving you an angry retort might just happen to mean you're the new caretaker of some sentient glassware.
