2008-05-13 20:11 < Alkivar> i learned how not to deal with deaf people when i went to RIT
2008-05-13 20:12 < Alkivar> since thats where NTID is located

2008-05-13 20:12 < Demi> Cream - deaf deaf?

2008-05-13 20:12 < Cream> yup
2008-05-13 20:13 < Cream> they only spoke sign language
2008-05-13 20:13 < Cream> the college i used to go to offers a lot of services to the deaf
2008-05-13 20:13 < Demi> Cream - i don't understand the distinction between "deaf" and "deaf deaf"
2008-05-13 20:13 < Cream> dunno
2008-05-13 20:13 < Cream> lol
2008-05-13 20:13 < Cream> well, there's hard of hearing

2008-05-13 20:14 < gwern> Alkivar: when did you go to RIT?
2008-05-13 20:14 < Demi> one thing i'll say is that i'm not sure why more theaters don't put that deaf subtitle system in, it seems easy enough
2008-05-13 20:14 < Ziggy_Sawdust> No, liek srsly, it has no uses
2008-05-13 20:15 < Demi> they've all got some story for people in wheelchairs, seems like putting up an LED bar can't be that big of a deal

2008-05-13 20:16 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Kirby = w00t
2008-05-13 20:16 < gwern> Demi: wheelchair people will make an issue of it
2008-05-13 20:16 < Demi> gwern - but deaf people just wave their arms or something?
2008-05-13 20:16 < Alkivar> Because they know jewish women cant resist anything thats 10% off :P
2008-05-13 20:16 < Lucifer_Cat> Alkivar: why
2008-05-13 20:16 < Lucifer_Cat> lol
2008-05-13 20:16 < gwern> Demi: some big places will; like Disney World is good about rear-projection captioning, as are a lot of things like broadway plays
2008-05-13 20:16 < Demi> gwern - hm, interesting
2008-05-13 20:17 < Lucifer_Cat> Alkivar: going by that logic, all indian guys should have been circumsized.. and then some
2008-05-13 20:17 < gwern> Demi: oh no, when the deaf complain, management just blames the mimes

2008-05-13 20:35 < gwern> 'Witless consumers parrot the drink’s advertised inclusion of electrolytes as the best thing about it — though they clearly don’t know what electrolytes are or why they are supposed to be good. Of course, that is all made up. There is no Brawndo. Or there wasn’t until last November, when this instrument of consumer-culture satire joined actual consumer culture: 10,000 cases and counting of Brawndo have sold online or via convenience stores in the

Are we already living “Idiocracy”? “Absolutely,” he says. “It’s all about overcommercialization.” The video ads on the Brawndo site, commissioned by Hottelet, feature members of Picnicfac

Redux was founded in 2006 by Jamey Kirby, a former software engineer, and is best known for a real energy drink called Cocaine. Cocaine received a lot of attention before “we had some issues with the F.D.A.,” Kirby says. He pulled it out of stores, and while he was retooling the marketing to address F.D.A. objections (he says it went back on the market in February), he heard from

2008-05-13 20:49 < Alkivar> the joke is over

2008-05-13 20:49 * denelson83 sprays spit
2008-05-13 20:50 < Alkivar> you do know who Alice Fritzel is right?
2008-05-13 20:50 < denelson83> Who, you?
2008-05-13 20:50 < Messedrocker> Here is my hypothesis on the Indian Nipple Song.
2008-05-13 20:50 < Messedrocker> As the woman mentions early in the song, she is a butter head. This leads me to believe her head is soft, i.e., she has mental disabilities, as she confirms in the line "yahoo I'm part retard." Additionally, she is blind, so her perception of reality is contingent on what she feels. Furthermore, her unemployability (due to retardation + blindness) led her to a life of casual sex.
2008-05-13 20:50 < Alkivar> the chick locked in that basement in austria for 24 years
2008-05-13 20:50 < Messedrocker> Therefore, she has had time and capability to develop odd fetishes involving her other senses, which appear odd to the typical sighted, mentally-capable person as their mind does not operate in the eccentric fashion this retarded woman's does.
2008-05-13 20:50 < denelson83> Messedrocker: Excuse me???
2008-05-13 20:50 < denelson83> Alkivar: Oh
2008-05-13 20:50 < denelson83> You mean Fritzl
2008-05-13 20:50 < gwern> wow. did you know GTA IV has sold 500 million USD worth?
2008-05-13 20:50 < denelson83> 500 million into /dev/null
2008-05-13 20:50 < Arwen> Messedrocker, context
2008-05-13 20:50 < Messedrocker> denelson83, I offered an analysis on a YouTube video
2008-05-13 20:51 < Messedrocker> denelson83, Arwen, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLpROhIg9eA&feature=related
2008-05-13 20:51 < denelson83> Then respond on the page of that video, not here
2008-05-13 20:51 < Alkivar> gwern: yep... it outgrossed iron man and every other movie that opened that weekend too
2008-05-13 20:51 < Messedrocker> Alkivar, but video games cost more than movie tickets
2008-05-13 20:51 < gwern> that's a lo
2008-05-13 20:51 < gwern> *lot
2008-05-13 20:54 < gwern> true, but the absolute sums are still impressive, and of course video games have a very low marginal cost
2008-05-13 20:54 < Marlith> Well, it did have high production costs.
2008-05-13 20:55 < gwern> it's kind of ironic. a year or two ago, I saw predictionsthat GTA IV would be the last hurrah of hand-done art and content games, because spore would demonstrate you could get the richness with procedural mechanisms
2008-05-13 20:55 < Alkivar> gwern: i'd also say more people go out and buy movie tickets than buy video games though
2008-05-13 20:55 < Alkivar> so even though the ticket cost is less... it makes up in volume
2008-05-13 20:56 < gwern> this is ironic inasmuch as GTA IV is doing fine, but spore is delayed and getting more and more expensive by the day...

2008-05-13 20:57 < gwern> makes one wonder whether Spore will be Wright's Daikatana
2008-05-13 20:57 < Messedrocker> gwern, Will Wright isn't Romero
2008-05-13 20:57 < Messedrocker> Romero is extremely conceited
2008-05-13 20:58 < gwern> lol
2008-05-13 20:58 < gwern> Wright is like Jobs in a lot of ways
2008-05-13 20:58 < Monobi> WRITE
2008-05-13 20:58 < gwern> we just don't see the conceit because he's walked the tightrope so far
2008-05-13 20:58 < gwern> RIGHT
2008-05-13 21:00 * gwern would link to the PA strip from *2005* on Spore. but their site is being teh ghey and has no archive links and they broke the old links?

2008-05-13 21:07 < Ceiling_Cat> wow
2008-05-13 21:07 < Ceiling_Cat> Amazon.com just recommended Mein Kampf to me
2008-05-13 21:07 < Messedrocker> hmmm
2008-05-13 21:07 < Messedrocker> must be an illegitimate edition
2008-05-13 21:07 < Ceiling_Cat> (I'm serious)
2008-05-13 21:08 < Ceiling_Cat> I know why it did
2008-05-13 21:08 < Ceiling_Cat> but I'm still pissed\
2008-05-13 21:08 < quanticle> Oh. jwales is here again.
2008-05-13 21:08 < Messedrocker> the book is copyrighted to an authority which refuses to distribute it
2008-05-13 21:08 < Ceiling_Cat> Messedrocker - its copyright status is debatable
2008-05-13 21:08 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Strangely enough, I've had both Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto recommended to me.
2008-05-13 21:08 < Messedrocker> Ceiling_Cat, why would you be pissed?
2008-05-13 21:08 < Ceiling_Cat> laches certainly applies

2008-05-13 21:09 < gwern> and of course we're going to debate it?
2008-05-13 21:09 < Monobi> No
2008-05-13 21:09 < Monobi> Can't I ask a freakin' question ;) ?
2008-05-13 21:09 < quanticle> gwern: Are you talking about the strip where Gabe badmouths spore and immediately gets snatched away by a black van?
2008-05-13 21:10 < Ceiling_Cat> btw, they're making a fraggle rock movie
2008-05-13 21:10 < Ceiling_Cat> and a thundercats movie

2008-05-13 21:11 < quanticle> Ceiling_Cat: Well, Hollywood has just about finished mining the '80s. Its about time they moved onto the '90s.
2008-05-13 21:11 < Monobi> Messedrocker, because?
2008-05-13 21:12 < Messedrocker> wikipedia really shouldn't be republican
2008-05-13 21:13 < gwern> quanticle: that
2008-05-13 21:13 < gwern> s a good one, but I was thinkin of the pee one
2008-05-13 21:13 < quanticle> Monobi: I'm disagreeing with the foundations of your argument. You say its "obvious" that the governance model for Wikipedia has failed. That failure is certainly not obvious to me, and I bet it isn't obvious to any but a select few Wikipedia insiders.
2008-05-13 21:13 < gwern> right. it should be anarcho-syndicalist
2008-05-13 21:13 < Marlith> I thought Wiki was liberally biased.
2008-05-13 21:13 < quanticle> gwern: Of course, how else will we expose the violence inherent to the system.
2008-05-13 21:14 < gwern> I mean, founding your government based on whose fathers have money and intelligence connections is no basis for a rational system of government!
2008-05-13 21:14 < gwern> power is derived from the consent of the governed, not some blinkered chap funding your election campaign!
2008-05-13 21:14 < Messedrocker> Marlith, "republican", not "Republican"
2008-05-13 21:14 < Messedrocker> "republican" as in the system of government whereby people are designated to make decisions off of people
2008-05-13 21:14 < Messedrocker> not the Republican Party
2008-05-13 21:14 < quanticle> gwern: Heh. You don't ELECT community leaders.
2008-05-13 21:15 < gwern> Marlith: don't you know? reality has a well-known liberal bias

2008-05-13 21:17 * Mike_H huggles gwern
2008-05-13 21:17 < The359> That's not Jimbo
2008-05-13 21:17 < The359> Jimbo's not funny
2008-05-13 21:17 < gwern> quanticle: 'e had a blinkin' crown and sword, didn't 'e?
2008-05-13 21:18 < jwales> The359 :-p
2008-05-13 21:19 < Messedrocker> jwales, how do you think Wikipedia would have ended up if you took a more active role as a leader?
2008-05-13 21:20 < jwales> pictures of my favorite foods on every page, naturally
2008-05-13 21:20 * The359 wonders if he's been lined up and slaughtered at Pearl yet
2008-05-13 21:20 < Messedrocker> The359, if no one else does it, I will
2008-05-13 21:20 < Messedrocker> unless you have some crazy comeback planned
2008-05-13 21:20 < jwales> Messedrocker: actually to be more serious, I have no idea how I could have taken much more of an active role as leader
2008-05-13 21:20 < quanticle> gwern: No, its 'cos 'e 'asn't got shit all over 'im.
2008-05-13 21:20 < jwales> there are only so many hours in the day after all
2008-05-13 21:21 < jwales> But really, in terms of editorial decision making, I think there is no substitute for lots and lots of thoughtful and smart people thinking clearly and discussing in an atmosphere of mutual respect to try to get at good answers.
2008-05-13 21:21 < gwern> jwales: and favorite restaurants presumably
2008-05-13 21:22 < jwales> mmm, cheeseburger
2008-05-13 21:22 < gwern> nah. I say we take off and nuke them from orbit
2008-05-13 21:22 < The359> I don't have any crazy comeback plan
2008-05-13 21:22 < gwern> it's the only way to be sure
2008-05-13 21:23 < Ljlego> schloop
2008-05-13 21:23 < The359> I just wondered if anyone had the metality of "finish him off" or if everyone else was thinking "leave him alone, he's harmless now"
2008-05-13 21:23 < Ljlego> I say we stone him
2008-05-13 21:23 < Ljlego> all in favor, say I
2008-05-13 21:23 < gwern> The359: kick reason to the curb, and surpass the impossible!
2008-05-13 21:23 < gwern> you
2008-05-13 21:24 < Ljlego> 1st person, 2nd person
2008-05-13 21:24 < Ljlego> what's the difference?
2008-05-13 21:24 < Ljlego> real answer: a whole lot
2008-05-13 21:24 < Ljlego> my answer: nothing
2008-05-13 21:24 < Ziggy_Sawdust> gwern: you pinged me?
2008-05-13 21:24 < quanticle> gwern: Nuke it from orbit - its the only way to be sure.
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ljlego> ah
2008-05-13 21:25 < gwern> not recently
2008-05-13 21:25 < quanticle> Ljlego: Did you just phail a test?
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ljlego> so we're talking about the Wikipedia spy satellite then?
2008-05-13 21:25 < gwern> hm. we're being sued by the mormons? my rss feed claims
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ljlego> mormons?
2008-05-13 21:25 < quanticle> gwern: What RSS feed?
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ljlego> do they count as people?
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ziggy_Sawdust> [20:44] <gwern> Ziggy_Sawdust: notorious deletionist, famous for deleting incredible amounts of fiction articles and his tendentious edit warring
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ziggy_Sawdust> lol
2008-05-13 21:25 < quanticle> Ljlego: No. Mormons are a hive mind.
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ljlego> thought so
2008-05-13 21:25 < quanticle> Ljlego: That's why I was so terrified of Mitt Romney.
2008-05-13 21:25 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I thought you were talking about me and got pissed
2008-05-13 21:26 < gwern> Ljlego: it was the only way to get freely licensed imagery! stop looking at us like that
2008-05-13 21:26 < gwern> quanticle: some wikimedia feed eh
2008-05-13 21:26 < quanticle> gwern: Ah. Ok.
2008-05-13 21:26 < Pilotguy> The horse rides on Tuesday.
2008-05-13 21:26 < Ziggy_Sawdust> gwern: ...? sued by Mormons?
2008-05-13 21:26 * Ljlego NP: The Who - Go To The Mirror!
2008-05-13 21:26 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I thought Scientologists sued people
2008-05-13 21:26 < gwern> Ziggy_Sawdust: the only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about
2008-05-13 21:26 < quanticle> Pilotguy: Are you sending secret messages to Wikipedia insurgents?
2008-05-13 21:26 < Ziggy_Sawdust> gwern: ...?
2008-05-13 21:26 * Ljlego is talked about all the time
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ljlego> truth ^
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ziggy_Sawdust> you mean the only thing worse than negative attention is none at all?
2008-05-13 21:27 < Pilotguy> quanticle: just a thought honestly...
2008-05-13 21:27 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawsdust: Lots of people sue lots of people.
2008-05-13 21:27 < gwern> the stated reason is copyvio, of course
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ziggy_Sawdust> You know what? I think I've figured it out
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ljlego> Ziggy_Sawdust: no, "the only thing worse than sex with a fat chick is none at all"
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ljlego> words to the wise
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ziggy_Sawdust> hahaha
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ziggy_Sawdust> actually
2008-05-13 21:27 < quanticle> Pilotguy: Well, in that case... The boat sails on the 15th.
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ljlego> as long as you don't get sucked under
2008-05-13 21:27 < gwern> Pilotguy: the mare was fed too many green oats
2008-05-13 21:27 < Ljlego> and die
2008-05-13 21:27 < gwern> Ziggy_Sawdust: dammit, don't you have any appreciation of classic Oscar Wildisms?
2008-05-13 21:28 * Ljlego perks up at mention of His Wildeness
2008-05-13 21:28 < quanticle> gwern: The store had three trees behind it.
2008-05-13 21:28 < gwern> seriously, apothegms are a lost art :(
2008-05-13 21:28 < Ljlego> GO TO THE MIRROR, BOY!
2008-05-13 21:28 < Ljlego> GO TO THE MIRROR, BOY!
2008-05-13 21:28 < quanticle> gwern: Definitions?
2008-05-13 21:28 < gwern> quanticle: very well. Someone will help the poor widow's son
2008-05-13 21:28 < Ziggy_Sawdust> The only thing worse than negative attention is having your eyes ripped out with a crowbar, and boiling oil poured in the eye sockets, followed by having a 3/8 wood boring bit shoved up your ass as a knife gets shoved in your urethra
2008-05-13 21:28 < Ljlego> OH GOD
2008-05-13 21:28 < quanticle> gwern: The mare's owner met the shopkeeper's wife on Tuesday.
2008-05-13 21:28 < Ljlego> GET THE FUCK OUT
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I challenge you to think of anything worse than that
2008-05-13 21:29 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: The pear.
2008-05-13 21:29 * Pilotguy has set channel mode +m
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> >_>
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ljlego> I think you'd probably die
2008-05-13 21:29 * Ziggy_Sawdust LOL WUT
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ljlego> quickly
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ljlego> from the oil
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> ...?
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ljlego> getting into your brain
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> okay
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> fine
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ljlego> or at least go into shock
2008-05-13 21:29 < gwern> Ziggy_Sawdust: your whole family is meat
2008-05-13 21:29 < Ziggy_Sawdust> poured in your ears
2008-05-13 21:29 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: Seriously, look it up. Its called a "pear", and its a medieval torture device.
2008-05-13 21:30 < Ljlego> actually
2008-05-13 21:30 < Ljlego> the soft cushions
2008-05-13 21:30 < Ljlego> used by the Spanish Inquisition
2008-05-13 21:30 < Ljlego> those are rough
2008-05-13 21:30 < gwern> quanticle: let us hope that he will receive a pleasant discount. Now the geese must fly!
2008-05-13 21:30 < quanticle> gwern: But only if they don't meet ducks or falcons.
2008-05-13 21:30 < Ljlego> am I late?
2008-05-13 21:31 < denelson83> !ops
2008-05-13 21:31 < denelson83> I've seen a lot of people complaining about Ziggy_Sawdust's conduct on this channel
2008-05-13 21:31 < Ljlego> the cock crows at midnight you know
2008-05-13 21:31 < Ljlego> !ops
2008-05-13 21:31 < Ljlego> I've got a complaint about denelson83 taking this place too seriously
2008-05-13 21:31 < gwern> quanticle: farewell and godspeed
2008-05-13 21:31 < The359> what the fuck is Ljlego doing?
2008-05-13 21:31 < bumm13> Ziggy_Sawdust: kindly stop talking ;p
2008-05-13 21:31 < Ljlego> lighten up?
2008-05-13 21:31 < RichiH> hmm
2008-05-13 21:31 < Ljlego> The359: not much, really
2008-05-13 21:31 < Pilotguy> Ljlego: Don't think your behavior isn't questionable either.
2008-05-13 21:31 < denelson83> Ljlego: I have a tendency to not see jokes immediately, and I'm not seeing a joke right now
2008-05-13 21:31 < quanticle> The359: Filing a countercomplaint against denelson83's complaint.
2008-05-13 21:32 < The359> quanticle
2008-05-13 21:32 < FastLizard4> Ljlego: Please don't use [!]ops unless their is an emergency
2008-05-13 21:32 < quanticle> gwern: And the same to you.
2008-05-13 21:32 < The359> Pearl
2008-05-13 21:32 < denelson83> And the same to me.
2008-05-13 21:32 < The359> Let's finish this game off
2008-05-13 21:32 < FastLizard4> denelson83: yes
2008-05-13 21:32 < Ljlego> I was only under the impression that it could be used
2008-05-13 21:32 < gwern> don't let's all go to the dogs tonight :(
2008-05-13 21:32 < denelson83> Exactly.
2008-05-13 21:32 < Ljlego> because of him
2008-05-13 21:32 < RichiH> Ljlego, Ziggy_Sawdust: i suspect there are better places for you to have fun in
2008-05-13 21:32 < Gracenotes> in IRC, troll success is measured by line count, isn't it?
2008-05-13 21:32 < quanticle> The359: Ok.
2008-05-13 21:32 < bumm13> FastLizard4: not all ops use that silly script or whatever
2008-05-13 21:32 < FastLizard4> bumm13: It's AntiSpamMeta
2008-05-13 21:32 < Gracenotes> if not it would be a suitable measurement
2008-05-13 21:33 < Gracenotes> FastLizard4: you can opt out of that
2008-05-13 21:33 < quanticle> Gracenotes: I don't know. Are we talking about the number of lines that you post before you're banned, or the number of lines of response you get?
2008-05-13 21:33 < Gracenotes> response
2008-05-13 21:33 < Ljlego> OK: 1) I am not a troll. If I were a troll, I would think what I was doing is cool. I'm not that deluded. I'm just waiting for a call back from a girl.
2008-05-13 21:33 < FastLizard4> Gracenotes: The ratio of good notices/bad notices is too high to opt out
2008-05-13 21:33 < denelson83> Well, instead of &exclamation;ops, we can use /ignore
2008-05-13 21:33 < Ljlego> 2) Show me someone with a valid point to make and I'll kindly shut up and listen
2008-05-13 21:33 < quanticle> Ljlego: We're not talking about you. We're talking about Ziggy_Sawdust.
2008-05-13 21:33 * Ljlego points to RichiH's comment
2008-05-13 21:33 < Ljlego> <RichiH> Ljlego, Ziggy_Sawdust: i suspect there are better places for you to have fun in
2008-05-13 21:33 < Gracenotes> FastLizard4: uh... so why are you complaining? you can opt in/out for specific types of notices
2008-05-13 21:33 < Messedrocker> How much does it cost to produce pure octane in a laboratory?
2008-05-13 21:33 < denelson83> Instead of summoning an op, plonk
2008-05-13 21:34 < StayTuned> :)
2008-05-13 21:34 < RichiH> Ljlego: why does your boredness turn into a general permit to behave as you please?
2008-05-13 21:34 < Ljlego> and, of course, 3) THE INTERNETS IZ SERIUZ BIZNIS!
2008-05-13 21:34 < FastLizard4> Gracenotes: Because some of those level notices are valid
2008-05-13 21:34 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Not that much, I'd think. I mean oil refineries can produce mass quantities of pure octane.
2008-05-13 21:34 < denelson83> Ljlego: The Internets is serious bikinis?
2008-05-13 21:34 < denelson83> uh-oh
2008-05-13 21:34 < Ljlego> if you insist
2008-05-13 21:34 < Messedrocker> yes quanticle but they make it out of petroleum distillates
2008-05-13 21:34 < Messedrocker> let's see
2008-05-13 21:34 < quanticle> denelson83: Well, the Internet IS for porn.
2008-05-13 21:34 < Messedrocker> we could use methanol
2008-05-13 21:34 < denelson83> How about using acetylene?
2008-05-13 21:34 < Messedrocker> we take off the hydroxyl groups to create methane and hydroxide
2008-05-13 21:35 < Messedrocker> and take hydrogens off the middle ones
2008-05-13 21:35 < denelson83> If you create an engine that can safely handle acetylene, that could be really fuel-efficient
2008-05-13 21:35 < Messedrocker> and link them together
2008-05-13 21:35 < Messedrocker> denelson83, because ethyne is very reactive due to its triple bond?
2008-05-13 21:35 < FastLizard4> Messedrocker: Don't make me take out the 2,4,6triehtylseptane
2008-05-13 21:35 < quanticle> denelson83: I'd rather not have a highly explosive fuel for my engine, kthnx.
2008-05-13 21:35 < denelson83> tri-eh-tyl? Isn't that what Canadians use?
2008-05-13 21:36 < denelson83> Messedrocker: Exactly
2008-05-13 21:36 < quanticle> Messedrocker: I'm sure it can be done. I'm just not sure its energy efficient to do so.
2008-05-13 21:36 < Messedrocker> The advantage of manufacturing octane is that engines already support it
2008-05-13 21:36 < denelson83> And octane is liquid at room temp
2008-05-13 21:36 < FastLizard4> denelson83: YOu need to take more chemistry
2008-05-13 21:36 * denelson83 took lots of chem classes, TYVM
2008-05-13 21:36 < FastLizard4> 2,4,6triethylheptane is a branch-type alkane
2008-05-13 21:37 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Not really. Conventional engines don't run very well on pure octane. You'd need to up the compression ratios a bit to get good performance.
2008-05-13 21:37 < denelson83> FastLizard4: Much better
2008-05-13 21:37 < FastLizard4> It wouldn't give enough energy to run cars
2008-05-13 21:37 < denelson83> 87 octane?
2008-05-13 21:37 < Messedrocker> quanticle, because they don't expect pure octane?
2008-05-13 21:37 * StayTuned is all for the squirrell powered engine
2008-05-13 21:37 < Messedrocker> denelson83, I may be taking AP Chemistry next year, but the budget didn't pass and so the school is in a kinda budget criss
2008-05-13 21:37 < denelson83> squirrell rhymes with Burrell, right?
2008-05-13 21:37 < Messedrocker> crisis*
2008-05-13 21:37 < Messedrocker> denelson83, and rhymes with "Beryl"
2008-05-13 21:37 < denelson83> budget cuss?
2008-05-13 21:37 < StayTuned> :)
2008-05-13 21:38 < denelson83> Beryl does not rhyme with Burrell
2008-05-13 21:38 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Right. Engines expect a certain octane level to prevent premature ignition in the cylinder, but too high of an octane rating and you get incomplete ignition, which is just as bad.
2008-05-13 21:38 < denelson83> oops... Too late
2008-05-13 21:38 < StayTuned> "how many squirrells are under that hood son?"
2008-05-13 21:38 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Pure octane would work quite well in racing engines and aircraft engines, though, since those engines have higher compression ratios.
2008-05-13 21:38 < denelson83> [18:38:02] <denelson83> Beryl does not rhyme with Burrell
2008-05-13 21:38 < denelson83> [18:38:05] <quanticle> Messedrocker: Right. Engines expect a certain octane level to prevent premature ignition in the cylinder, but too high of an octane rating and you get incomplete ignition, which is just as bad.
2008-05-13 21:39 < denelson83> Only re-pasting those comments because Messedrocker didn't see them
2008-05-13 21:39 < Messedrocker> quanticle, it's your turn on Pearl Harbor
2008-05-13 21:39 < bumm13> meowf?
2008-05-13 21:39 < denelson83> weow!
2008-05-13 21:39 < Ziggy_Sawdust> aargh
2008-05-13 21:39 < denelson83> bow-meow!
2008-05-13 21:39 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Ljlego: you pinged me?
2008-05-13 21:39 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I was in the shower
2008-05-13 21:39 < Messedrocker> so quanticle, what is the highest percent octane i should make it?
2008-05-13 21:39 < Ljlego> it's over, dear
2008-05-13 21:39 * Ziggy_Sawdust bets you'd like the details
2008-05-13 21:40 < Messedrocker> 94?
2008-05-13 21:40 < Messedrocker> 89?
2008-05-13 21:40 < denelson83> 87
2008-05-13 21:40 < Ziggy_Sawdust> what?
2008-05-13 21:40 < Ziggy_Sawdust> oh
2008-05-13 21:40 < quanticle> Messedrocker: I'd go towards 87 octane, which isn't the same as 87% octane. Rather, its 87% of the temperature/compression needed to ignite octane.
2008-05-13 21:41 < quanticle> Whoa. What happened to FastLizard4. Last I saw he was dominating the central island. Now he's just about wiped out...
2008-05-13 21:41 < quanticle> ??
2008-05-13 21:41 < Messedrocker> quanticle, i kicked his ass
2008-05-13 21:41 < quanticle> Messedrocker: I see that.
2008-05-13 21:41 < denelson83> Central island? Ain't that in a roundabout?
2008-05-13 21:42 < Messedrocker> so quanticle, gasoline engines don't actually use octane?
2008-05-13 21:42 < Messedrocker> they just use octane as some sort of gold standard for ignition?
2008-05-13 21:42 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Of course not. Gasoline engines use gasoline. And yes, the octane rating is just a comparison of the gasoline's ignition characteristics to octane.
2008-05-13 21:42 < Ziggy_Sawdust> are you guys playing Risk?
2008-05-13 21:43 < Messedrocker> Ziggy_Sawdust, yes
2008-05-13 21:43 < Ziggy_Sawdust> WHAR?!
2008-05-13 21:43 < gwern> yes
2008-05-13 21:43 < Messedrocker> quanticle, but is gasoline a distinct substance? I thought it was a composite of different hydrocarbons?
2008-05-13 21:43 < gwern> Ziggy_Sawdust: no! IN THE GRIM FUTURE OF HELLO KITTY, THERE IS ONLY WAR
2008-05-13 21:44 < bumm13> according to unreliable sources, gasoline is a mixture
2008-05-13 21:45 < Ziggy_Sawdust> okay
2008-05-13 21:45 < Ziggy_Sawdust> are you guys on Yahoo Games?
2008-05-13 21:45 < Messedrocker> Ziggy_Sawdust, http://conquerclub.com
2008-05-13 21:45 < quanticle> Messedrocker: I don't know what gasoline is, but, upon further research, I've found that the octane rating of gasoline is the percentage of octane you'd need in a mix of iso-octane and heptane to get the same autoignition characteristics as the fuel under consideration.
2008-05-13 21:45 < Messedrocker> my guess is that conquer club is about one billion times better than any piece of shit yahoo would come up with
2008-05-13 21:45 < Gracenotes> spam spam spam spam...
2008-05-13 21:45 < DrSkullthumper> Wonderful spam

2008-05-13 21:45 < quanticle> Messedrocker: I don't think so. The UI is kinda sucky.
2008-05-13 21:45 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: margin of error on that statistic?

2008-05-13 21:49 < Gracenotes> Googling "graham ackerman" doesn't yield results of such intellectual caliber

2008-05-13 21:57 < Ziggy_Sawdust> Do you just click the armies...?
2008-05-13 21:57 < Messedrocker> Ziggy_Sawdust, it's a simple interface once you start playing
2008-05-13 21:57 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust, you have to use the menus down below.
2008-05-13 21:58 < The359> Is FastLizard4 awake?

2008-05-13 22:02 < Gracenotes> how un-web-2.0 of them D:
2008-05-13 22:02 < quanticle> The359: Not so much a button as a link.
2008-05-13 22:02 < Ziggy_Sawdust> http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=2434317
2008-05-13 22:02 < The359> yes
2008-05-13 22:03 < Gracenotes> they could at least use long polling
2008-05-13 22:03 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: Very traditional. I like it.
2008-05-13 22:03 < Ziggy_Sawdust> :D
2008-05-13 22:04 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: Your territories in Asia are at risk if you're not careful.
2008-05-13 22:04 < Ziggy_Sawdust> :(
2008-05-13 22:04 < Ziggy_Sawdust> I suck at Risk
2008-05-13 22:04 < quanticle> Ziggy_Sawdust: Its ok. I've lost all the games I've played so far.
2008-05-13 22:05 < Monobi> Let's have a political debate
2008-05-13 22:05 < Gracenotes> NO
2008-05-13 22:05 < The359> Let's take you out back and shoot you, Monobi
2008-05-13 22:05 < quanticle> Monobi: I'm not in the mood for a flamewar right now, Monobi.
2008-05-13 22:05 * quanticle has already put away his asbestos shield.
2008-05-13 22:05 < Monobi> :-O
2008-05-13 22:05 < Leslie_S> \sigh, my face is all breaking out
2008-05-13 22:05 < Kofiz> Let's make fun of unsuccessful vice presidential candidates of the 19th century
2008-05-13 22:06 < quanticle> Kofiz: Now that's something I can get behind.
2008-05-13 22:06 < Kofiz> now if only I could name one
2008-05-13 22:06 < Messedrocker> Kofiz, I don't think anyone's even heard of SUCCESSFUL vice presidential candidates of the 19th century

2008-05-13 22:07 < quanticle> Kofiz: Nathan Sanford.
2008-05-13 22:07 < Gracenotes> "Apple has been deemed [one] of the friendliest brands for gays and lesbians." <-- this isn't terribly surprising, for some reason. Messedrocker's Mac is gay, iirc...
2008-05-13 22:08 < quanticle> Gracenotes: It must be because of all those effeminate curves.
2008-05-13 22:08 < Not_the_NSA> Gracenotes: O_o
2008-05-13 22:08 < Messedrocker> Gracenotes, Apple has always been known for being gay
2008-05-13 22:08 * quanticle prefers his computers to be hard edged
2008-05-13 22:08 * quanticle like Lenovos
2008-05-13 22:08 < Messedrocker> quanticle, lenovo's thinkpads were originally made by IBM, the epitome of hard edge
2008-05-13 22:08 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: apparently "homosexual respondents" agreed. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/05/13/swiss_iphone_rumor_blackberry_thunder_apple_gay_friendly.html
2008-05-13 22:09 < quanticle> Messedrocker: Indeed. I'm glad to see that Lenovo hasn't messed with the classic design.
2008-05-13 22:09 * quanticle brb
2008-05-13 22:09 < quanticle> Its dinnertime.

2008-05-13 22:16 < The359> just funny that someone literally wrote out a check for $7.2 million for Alaska
2008-05-13 22:18 < Sky2042_afk> Gotta pay em somehow. Would you rather have bought it with a credit card?
2008-05-13 22:18 < Sky2042_afk> =]
2008-05-13 22:19 < The359> gold?
2008-05-13 22:20 < Messedrocker> i'm surprised the russian empire accepted checks as currency
2008-05-13 22:20 < The359> where do you cash a $7.2 million check?
2008-05-13 22:21 < Ziggy_Sawdust> ...?
