lolcatnip,

Yep.

I just learned of the Shavian Alphabet yesterday. It’s designed specifically for English and fits it well, except the sounds in it are so specific that when you write in it, you have to write in a specific regional accent. Fortunately it can’t become a new set of special cases because it’s an entirely new script not related to Latin.

lolcatnip,

Which he did not do.

lolcatnip,

A lot less than a billion. The exact amount is negotiable.

lolcatnip,

He did not. Go find his exact words if you don’t believe me.

lolcatnip,

I’m trying to figure out how you need trig for that. Just the Pythagorean theorem and ratios seem sufficient to me.

lolcatnip,

If it works it works. I just never would have thought to do it that way.

lolcatnip,

Right, but why bring theta into it at all? TV screens are as a hypotenuse (a²+b²) with a fixed ratio (a/b=16/9), so you just need to solve for a and b.

lolcatnip,

Oh God, I thought that was just a PNW thing because it’s a hop growing region.

Yeah, I doubt many people mind the decor, just the prices that seem to always come with it.

lolcatnip,

I think it’s a offshoot of the shabby chic aesthetic. Expensive stuff made of cheap elements because you’re being sold a certain flavor of minimalism.

lolcatnip,

Question for the audience: what city do you most associate this style with? For me it’s Seattle, because that’s where I live, and ugh, it’s everywhere.

lolcatnip,

Fancy a bit of jolly cooperation?

lolcatnip,

Lucky you.

lolcatnip,

You effectively can’t just talk to women on dating sites. Thanks to how matching works, you have to successfully sell yourself with pictures to get your profile read, and successfully sell yourself with words in the profile before you can actually talk with anyone.

Back before matching was a thing, it wasn’t much better. You could talk but you’d usually be ignored because the woman’s inbox would be filled with too much crap for her to go through it all.

Isn’t that what saltines are for?

Edit: Wait, I read that as peanut butter. Butter is…not gross but not what I do.

lolcatnip, (edited )

I’m American and I understood it without noticing. It doesn’t look unusual at all to me.

lolcatnip,

Except temperature degrees aren’t related angle degrees. You’d be using a pun as a unit conversion.

lolcatnip,

Not sure if amused or horrified.

lolcatnip,

Multivectors.

lolcatnip,

Upvote for Crispikschu.

lolcatnip,

No Blue Steel?

lolcatnip,

Hello there 9 hour old account, and goodbye!

lolcatnip,

Everyone from Seattle loves eating a bag of Dick’s (except vegetarians).

lolcatnip,

Is this a meme about baby leftists learning about how plurality voting works?
