[03:18] <cmaloney> helllo fellow mammals
[03:20] <rick_h_> party
[03:20] <_stink_> that's might presumptuous of you
[03:20] <_stink_> y
[03:20] <rick_h_> just how i roll
[03:21] <_stink_> both 'party' and cmaloney's claim that we are all mammals :)
[03:22] <rick_h_> ah true, mammalgate
[03:22] <rick_h_> 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] <rick_h_> lol
[03:24] <rick_h_> 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] <rick_h_> with tests then sweet
[03:26] <_stink_> yeah they didn't pass
[03:29] <rick_h_> lol
[03:29] <rick_h_> good tests
[03:31] <_stink_> yeah dodged one there :P
[13:40] <cmaloney> Good morning
[13:40] <cmaloney> That whole mammal thing was in response to one of JoDee's students claiming he couldn't answer the following question:
[13:41] <cmaloney> "What is the weight of a 60kg mammal"
[13:41] <rick_h_> lol
[13:41] <rick_h_> morning
[13:41] <cmaloney> apparently the bone of contention was the student didn't understand the word "mammal"
[13:41] <cmaloney> ergo the whole question was invalid
[13:42] <rick_h_> logical
[13:42] <brousch> The proper response is "on what planet?"
[13:42] <mrgoodcat> well... to be fair, kg is not a measure of weight
[13:42] <mrgoodcat> but a measure of mass
[13:43] <brousch> exactly
[13:43] <mrgoodcat> what brousch said
[13:43] <cmaloney> And that's what she was asking
[13:43] <cmaloney> Earth was assumed I believe
[13:43] <cmaloney> this is a lighter-weight physics class
[13:44] <cmaloney> But yes, the contention wasn't "on what planet" or what-not, but the term "mammal"
[13:44] <mrgoodcat> weight is affected by volume as well (bouyancy)
[13:44] <cmaloney> mrgoodcat: There are students in this class that would freak out if you mentioned there would be addition or subtraction
[13:44] <brousch> Ah, so in what location and in what medium?
[13:45] <brousch> How do you get to college when you are afraid of addition and subtraction?
[13:45] <brousch> What college is this?
[13:45] <cmaloney> Apparently they have a form for that.
[13:45] <cmaloney> Community college.
[13:46] <brousch> ah
[13:46] <brousch> Is the class "Intro to Stargazing"?
[13:48] <cmaloney> No, Physical Science
[13:49] <brousch> GiveCamp GR this weekend. Anyone coming over?
[13:53] <cmaloney> UNfortunately no.
[13:53] <cmaloney> Didn't realize it was this weekend.
[13:53] <jrwren> OCC!
[13:54] <cmaloney> Apparently I fail following GR stuff
[13:54] <brousch> I think you really don't care ;)

[13:55] <cmaloney> Apparnetly nobody updates that page, and conversely few folks are following it.

[14:04] <painbank> thanks… :)
[14:05] <painbank> btw, rick_h_ congrats on the 3 years at canonical
[14:05] <rick_h_> painbank: ty, next week but almost there
[14:12] <cmaloney> there's only one reason to use a backslash and that's to escape the next character.
[14:12] <cmaloney> All other uses are crap. ;)
[15:10] <painbank> haha, thanks for the pro tip of hte week cmaloney
