    Just had a fish butty, chips and scraps

    Now I’m Assassining with two cats on my lap

    Hooray

    what the fuck does this mean

    this terminology actually kind of makes sense imo

    Apart from the "butty" bit

    Would you believe that a butty is distinct from a buttery

    No, I wouldn't

    You see, a buttery is basically a rowie, whereas a butty is a filled cob

    I am watching Sons of Anarchy and I have noticed two things. Scars on this show are unusually orange in color and somewhere around Season 5 the make up artists stopped giving a fuck about making wounds look realistic and just went, "fuck it, splatter fake blood on them and smear it around with your fingers." Still like the show.

    fuck you, zero's a natural number

    I'm going to see if his proof has any necessity for 0

    I'm guessing it doesn't

    in which case

    why bother fucking with the definition of natural numbers

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    my mechanics lecturer wrote her alphas as pretty much £ without the line through, and her ones as pretty much Λ, and pronounced them and the letter n identically

    Our one prof really liked using the letter ksi for everything, but honestly it was quite difficult, and sometimes when you were just rushing to copy down everything off the blackboard and follow along you just drew a slinky with anywhere between 2 and 6 loops and just called it a day

    958

    literally the worst letter

    I actually do spend effort to write that letter real well, but that's just out of spite for it

    the capital version is somehow even worse

    three horizontal handwritten strokes, does anybody in the world expect that to be consistently legible? Fuck off, ksi.

    The problem with Numberphile videos are that sometimes they explain something so clearly that you become convinced you now fully understand the subject

    Like how I thought I was an expert on Enigma Machines for a couple weeks until I realized I couldn't explain the first thing about it without immediately referring to the videos again

    There must be a Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse full of them that they want to get rid of.

    Nice, someone ship me one.

    I don't know who day9 is

    oh gotcha

    he's a popular streamer, used to do the Day9 Daily which was a show teaching you how to play Starcraft 2, then he branched out a bit and did Hearthstone for awhile, now he does a bit of everything

    he was a math major in college, which is why he knows this stuff, but also he does a bunch of these sort of asides in the middle of his streams. like, after this thing about bijections, i think he went back to a SC2 replay he was analyzing.

    I stopped watching at 10 minutes

    whoever day9 is he's bad at explaining math and is way to bro-tacular for my tastes

    considering the many other people talking about maths on youtube I'm not gonna settle for an inferior product

    my favourite greek letter to use might be sigma, because ΣF=0 is like, the ancient incantation that starts the ritual of mechanics

    but my actual favourite letter is phi and in high school phi was the letter used for an unknown angle as a matter of course

    higher education seems to mostly use theta instead. Which I dislike a lot. It's not a fetching handwritten letter.

    More often than not the assignment goes "find the angle theta" and I will go "the angle phi is..."

    But now I can't listen to anyone talk about video games at all - the sole personality I still watch rarely if ever talks about video games

    Also lower case sigma and lower case theta can end up looking the same which is not fantastic: a circle/oval with a loop somewhere towards the top, or is that more towards the middle, who can even tell

    So the recruiter just called me back and I got the job in Oklahoma so I am moving back to OKC next month. I will get a formal offer next week and we will negotiate final pay and everything then.

    Oh shit, it's Chi. That's right, it's Wednesday! WEDNESDAY!

    IT IS! I will be traveling to Houston tonight for turkey so the stream will not be as long or well produced tonight but I am putting it together now! It's going to have a good Thanksgiving day theme.

    There was a debate in the Hearthstone thread a couple weeks ago because someone said Day9 was their most hated streamer because his streaming personality is so obviously fake.

    I just didn't know what to do with that.

    I’m curious if the writers on the show were familiar with it.

    @Bogart oh my god, this never occurred to me.
