I liked it, but I am fond of such peculiarities. Nils Loc is like a more articulate quine.

If it's not about grammar or Frank Sinatra, I'm not interested.
October 17, 2017 at 23:00
The thing is, though, as much as I am interested to learn about physics, I didn't just come here for that. I came here - after being urged to do so by...

Yes, I understand that. It fell relative to its original value. Can you please explain how that answers my questions?
October 17, 2017 at 20:37
I was following you up to this point, but this is where I lose you. So, this container can detect the energy value of the universe? How's that? And wh...

In my continued reading on the discussion topic, the following caught my attention as being of relevance: /uploads/resized/files/t2/60agzmr7vitvw1jk.j...

We have various categories here. The Shoutbox is under the The Lounge category, where you can hang out, have a blether, and talk about kittens. In tha...

Well, I can't speak for Michael, but I always express my bitter sarcasm lightheartedly.
October 17, 2017 at 17:18
It wasn't bitter. It was lighthearted. You're reading the former into it.
October 17, 2017 at 15:19
Does.

Vaguely. In Feedback and The Shoutbox.

And that's the problem with idealism: in practice, it just wouldn't work. I've seen those other forums with less stringent standards. They're awful.

October 15, 2017 at 22:34
Geeziana Louisiana, how many more people are going to mistake irony for stupidity? Do I have to put a winking emoji each time or something? You people...
October 15, 2017 at 21:56
Message received loud and clear. So be it. No more wordplay from me. I will have to resist the urge, which is difficult when you have a name which sou...
October 15, 2017 at 21:41
Yes, we can. But you could have warned me that we're not allowed to make any jokes involving wordplay, lest we unwittingly provoke the wrath of other ...
October 15, 2017 at 21:11
Wow. This is a joke thread. That was a joke. I genuinely had no idea that you'd overreact like that. If you're not in the mood to take a joke, then pe...
October 15, 2017 at 20:57
Okay, but what should I it them with? Protection, in anticipation of them itting me back.
October 15, 2017 at 20:37
You're right. That'll have to be fixed, like all good polls.
October 15, 2017 at 20:23
I'm afraid all of us are busy right now. We're dealing with an urgent situation involving a bucket, some clear liquid, a head, and some exploitable am...
October 15, 2017 at 20:16
Oh. I must have misunderstood. It's hard to see through this bucket. I thought that I was joking, but I'm glad that there are people here to correct m...
October 15, 2017 at 20:08
Ah, I see. So you know a couple of people that stick their heads in things without knowing anything about a bucket of clear liquid. Gotcha.
October 15, 2017 at 19:38

October 15, 2017 at 19:35
So, there we have it. Einstein's equation shows that the universe must be expanding, and this expansion has been observed. The more we learn about Ein...
October 15, 2017 at 19:03
You know a couple of people who are like a bucket of clear liquid?
October 15, 2017 at 18:30
Oooooooooooooh.
October 15, 2017 at 18:29
How can he put his head in the bucket if the bucket immediately disintegrated when he put his finger in it?
October 15, 2017 at 18:27
Never mind. Probably best left unexplained. My motherboard would be appalled.
October 15, 2017 at 18:03
This talk of Paul's software is euphemistic, right? Does the thought of Paul's software cause your floopy disk to overload?
October 15, 2017 at 17:58
You're welcome. (See, @"Hanover"? Works like a charm. ;) )
October 15, 2017 at 17:52
You're doing it wrong. Just pick a few replies at random, then tell them that you're listening to what they have to say and promise to take it on boar...
October 15, 2017 at 17:45
Fine, next time I will count to ten and then be provocative, impolite, and unnecessary. But, in all seriousness, I'm listening and taking on board. (O...
October 15, 2017 at 17:26
Preposterous!
October 15, 2017 at 12:58
By "ideal solution", I was referring to your proposal of a "special not-quite-up-to-standards area", and by "method", I was referring to your statemen...
October 15, 2017 at 07:42
Well, you do by implication, as I am of course a moderator. Unless you've retracted your previous comment. You chose to single me out and make an exam...
October 15, 2017 at 07:31
It's a criticism made in the form of a rhetorical question. Does that make it passive-aggressive? I could have been more direct by simply stating my c...
October 15, 2017 at 01:00
With regards to the suggestion that we ought to send a message before deletion, I raised it in the moderator forum, and, after consideration of the pr...
October 15, 2017 at 00:11
What? I should not have called attention to the one-sided and misleading nature of your account of the events?
October 14, 2017 at 23:49
And that's your impartial assessment of how the situation unfolded, is it? Quite preposterous.
October 14, 2017 at 23:45
Suit yourself. In response, I will simply note the irony in insinuating that I am close-minded right after openly admitting to closing your mind to th...
October 14, 2017 at 23:30
The bartender turns to Frank Sinatra and asks "Where did you come from? And, more importantly, why aren't you in this joke?"
October 14, 2017 at 22:59
My comment was meant in the same vein. It was a general comment about the kind of thing being complained about here, without commenting on this partic...
October 14, 2017 at 22:38
Yes. If you're after unconditional freedom of speech, then you've come to the wrong place. The site guidelines make that clear. For the record, I have...
October 14, 2017 at 22:28
That's the conclusion. I'm asking you how you got there, but instead you're just repeating it, which wastes both of our time. You made the claim, and ...
October 14, 2017 at 21:31
You do realise that there are professionals for that, right? And that this is just a philosophy forum?
October 14, 2017 at 21:08
The officer was at relatively close distance. Look at the footage. You'd have to be insane to support that officer's actions. The security guard would...
