[03:18] helllo fellow mammals [03:20] party [03:20] <_stink_> that's might presumptuous of you [03:20] <_stink_> y [03:20] just how i roll [03:21] <_stink_> both 'party' and cmaloney's claim that we are all mammals :) [03:22] ah true, mammalgate [03:22] watch out, ill have to rage-quit email overr it [03:23] <_stink_> you'll get lots of retweets though [03:23] <_stink_> good trade? [03:23] lol [03:24] anything for interweb popularity [03:24] <_stink_> i just refactored a bunch of code that i don't fully understand [03:24] <_stink_> if the tests all pass i can call it a day, right? [03:24] * rick_h_ hides [03:24] with tests then sweet [03:26] <_stink_> yeah they didn't pass [03:29] lol [03:29] good tests [03:31] <_stink_> yeah dodged one there :P [13:40] Good morning [13:40] That whole mammal thing was in response to one of JoDee's students claiming he couldn't answer the following question: [13:41] "What is the weight of a 60kg mammal" [13:41] lol [13:41] morning [13:41] apparently the bone of contention was the student didn't understand the word "mammal" [13:41] ergo the whole question was invalid [13:42] logical [13:42] The proper response is "on what planet?" [13:42] well... to be fair, kg is not a measure of weight [13:42] but a measure of mass [13:43] exactly [13:43] what brousch said [13:43] And that's what she was asking [13:43] Earth was assumed I believe [13:43] this is a lighter-weight physics class [13:44] But yes, the contention wasn't "on what planet" or what-not, but the term "mammal" [13:44] weight is affected by volume as well (bouyancy) [13:44] mrgoodcat: There are students in this class that would freak out if you mentioned there would be addition or subtraction [13:44] Ah, so in what location and in what medium? [13:45] How do you get to college when you are afraid of addition and subtraction? [13:45] What college is this? [13:45] Apparently they have a form for that. [13:45] Community college. [13:46] ah [13:46] Is the class "Intro to Stargazing"? [13:48] No, Physical Science [13:49] GiveCamp GR this weekend. Anyone coming over? [13:53] UNfortunately no. [13:53] Didn't realize it was this weekend. [13:53] OCC! [13:54] Apparently I fail following GR stuff [13:54] I think you really don't care ;) [13:54] https://plus.google.com/106805492434350467729/posts. [13:55] Apparnetly nobody updates that page, and conversely few folks are following it. [14:04] \joion #rvm [14:04] \join #rvm [14:04] \list [14:04] other way [14:04] / [14:04] thanks… :) [14:05] btw, rick_h_ congrats on the 3 years at canonical [14:05] painbank: ty, next week but almost there [14:12] there's only one reason to use a backslash and that's to escape the next character. [14:12] All other uses are crap. ;) [15:10] haha, thanks for the pro tip of hte week cmaloney [15:42] http://www.reddit.com/r/fossworldproblems/comments/2lkvr7/the_windows_install_discs_are_a_lot_more_fabulous/ [16:47] !w
