[thick charm]

Can I play as well?

[fair iron]

Sure. ^^

[pine ginkgo]

sure

[thick charm]

I wanna be stunned by math magic

[pine ginkgo]

my problem is keeping the numbers in my memory, before i try to fuse them

:D

[opal sequoia]

That is tricky, Luna.

[fair iron]

Sidenote: Make sure the number you choose has at least 3 digits.

[opal sequoia]

But that's also why you want to simplify it even before you do the calculations.

Any way that you can group similar numbers before adding/multiplying helps.

[fair iron]

Everyone with me so far? 😄

[thick charm]

yup

[fair iron]

Daniel, and you?

[opal sequoia]

Daniel had a maths overdose and has passed out.

[fair iron]

Probably.

[thick charm]

he divided by 0

[fair iron]

Ah, that explains.

He's stuck in an infinite loop and will never return.

[pine ginkgo]

he's trying to fit all 10 digits into 9

[opal sequoia]

Now we'll never see Casca's magic trick!!

[fair iron]

Now write the number you chose down in reverse order.

Of those two numbers you now have, subtract one from the other.

If the answer is negative, it doesn't matter. Just take the absolute value.

[thick charm]

this is getting exciting

[fair iron]

Choose one of the digits in your answer, provided it's not a 0.

And tell me the remaining digits of the answer.

[thick charm]

11307179

[fair iron]

You chose a 7.

[thick charm]

well done

[opal sequoia]

Let me try it with you Casca.

[thick charm]

Good old David Cascafield at it again

[opal sequoia]

You give me a number and I'll guess what one you left out.

[fair iron]

Same rules, I take it?

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

[opal sequoia]

4

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^

[opal sequoia]

😄

[thick charm]

Are you guys going to take over the world now?

[fair iron]

I promise to use my powers for good.

[opal sequoia]

Cool though. I actually really like picking those kind of puzzles apart.

Although the one I did made it kind of too obvious.

Because I ended up with the number being 189.

So like, yeah.

[fair iron]

😄

[hot cloak]

Casca what are you studying in college as a matter of interest?

Wasn't it Informatik or something?

[fair iron]

My "majors" are mathematics and English.

[hot cloak]

Ah I see

[fair iron]

Although I have IT as a subject, yes.

[hot cloak]

Oh nice

[opal sequoia]

You're awesome, Casca. ❤

[fair iron]

So are you. ❤

[thick charm]

/r/wholesomemaths

[outer locust]

hey guys

anyone have some good german tv-shows to watch?

[hot cloak]

Türkisch für Anfänger xdddddd

[fair iron]

Die Sendung mit der Maus.
Petersson und Findus.
Heidi.
Der Sandman.

[hot cloak]

@iron bear Knows all about it

[thick charm]

Löwenzahn

[fair iron]

Ah, I was just about to say that. ^

😄

[outer locust]

could you give like a short explanation of the series

[fair iron]

That was my favourite as a kid.

[hot cloak]

Casca

I've found another cool trick

for maths

[fair iron]

Pray tell!

[hot cloak]

Multiplying an even number by 5

like

[fair iron]

Go on?

[thick charm]

that's the trick

that's it

[opal sequoia]

😄

[fair iron]

Yeah, I don't see how that can be elaborated upon.

[pine ginkgo]

i multiplied 2 to 10

[hot cloak]

5 x 60 for example (it's easy to do anyway but..)
half 60 = 30
now add a zero to 30

300

[pine ginkgo]

🤔 🤔

[fair iron]

5n = 10(n/2)

[opal sequoia]

It works the same for odd numbers.

[pine ginkgo]

🤔

[opal sequoia]

Except you don't add a 0. Just times by 10.

[fair iron]

Daniel do you know how to work out the sum of all integers up to n?

(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + n)

[hot cloak]

no

[opal sequoia]

You are missing a +

[pine ginkgo]

that's super sweet

[fair iron]

n(n+1)/2```

[hot cloak]

👍

so

50

50(50+1)/2

[opal sequoia]

Now write a proof for it, Casca.

[pine ginkgo]

i was mindblown when i was young and heard about it for the first time :D

[fair iron]

😄

[outer locust]

someone has a site in which I could watch Die Sendung mit der Maus w/ english subtitles?

[fair iron]

50*51 = 2550
2550/2 = 1275

[hot cloak]

50 x 51 = 2550/2 = 1275

yup

that's pretty damn cool

[opal sequoia]

Now do 2550 * 5 Daniel.

[fair iron]

^

😄

[hot cloak]

lol

12750

[opal sequoia]

😃

👌

[hot cloak]

I did it in my head how rad am I

[fair iron]

There's also a nice way of squaring two digit numbers.

[opal sequoia]

Oh?

[fair iron]

I'll use 27 as an example.
1. Add the last digit to the number. | 27 + 7 = 34.
2. Multiply this new digit by the first digit. | 34 * 2 = 68.
3. Square the last digit. | 7^2 = 49.
4. If the answer to 3 has two digits, append the last digit to the answer of 2. | 68__ __ --> 689.
5. Take the first digit from 3 and add it to the answer from 2. | 68 + 4 = 72.
6. Replace the first two digits from 4 with the answer to 5. | 68 729.
27^2 = 729.

Now that I think about it, that's an ugly method.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[opal sequoia]

Heheh.

[hot cloak]

yeah

maybe I'll just use a calculator

[fair iron]

Use your head.

[hot cloak]

now that you mention it

Maybe that's why I'm disappointed with my mental maths

lol

I've been using a calculator in maths for the past 4 years

[opal sequoia]

Bad Daniel!

[dire sentinel]

moin

[opal sequoia]

No calculator. 😠

[hot cloak]

okok

[fair iron]

Moin. 👋

[pine ginkgo]

instead of calculators

it also helps if you take a pen and paper

[fair iron]

^

[pine ginkgo]

and do it theere

[opal sequoia]

Yes.

Writing stuff down is amazing.

[pine ginkgo]

yes

i wish i had place for a whiteboard in my pc room :D

[opal sequoia]

Even being a maths major in uni I do it for everything constantly.

[dire sentinel]

i flunked out of college because of math

[opal sequoia]

):

I'm sorry creepy.

[dire sentinel]

eh, I'll try it again another year

[opal sequoia]

You are always welcome to ask for advice.

[dire sentinel]

ty for the offer

i don't need to do much math these days :p

[opal sequoia]

But maths is life? 😦

[dire sentinel]

not working in IT 🤔

[opal sequoia]

😔

[dire sentinel]

math is only dope when there's a shape with it, otherwise it's too vague for me

calculus DansGame

oh wait no twitch emotes here

[opal sequoia]

You seem like a nice person, creepy.

Why are you learning German?

[pine ginkgo]

the thing about math is, you have to learn how to shape it in your head

it's abstract sure, but it's possible

[dire sentinel]

🤔 Because I'm going there in December and I have a lot of German friendos

I took classes in high school but then I moved where there was no german courses

[opal sequoia]

You're also really nice, Luna.

I would like to visit Germany.

[dire sentinel]

I guess it's possible, but the Math Major buddy i had that was tutoring me explained it as if to another math major, when I needed it explained as if to a toddler

[clever steppe]

calculus is all about shapes though

[opal sequoia]

I understand, creepy. That's a shame.

[dire sentinel]

calculus is about letters and time and space, geometry i passed easy peasy

Physics even, was easy

but Calculus and algebra for some reason on their own just don't compute

[clever steppe]

the primary motivation of calculus was the volume of conic sections

at least for newton

[dire sentinel]

what about you, Base, why you learning?

[clever steppe]

i dont know what liebniz's deal was

[hot cloak]

wait

[opal sequoia]

I'm learning German because I have some German family mostly.

[hot cloak]

I just figured out something really weird

[opal sequoia]

I mean I learn languages because I enjoy it, but German because of that.

[hot cloak]

So I was talking to my dad about this site I found and a teacher recommended it to us too

An Irish maths site for students aimed at the exams

called mathstutor.ie

[dire sentinel]

Yeah learning languages is fun, I've tried to learn quite a few but I've truly learned none

[opal sequoia]

What have you tried?

[dire sentinel]

spanish, german, russian,

[hot cloak]

Then I figured out that the guy that runs the site is realted to my dad pretty closely

[opal sequoia]

I'm also learning Polish.

[hot cloak]

related

lol

[opal sequoia]

That's pretty funny, Daniel.

[dire sentinel]

what a coincidence

[hot cloak]

ikr

[dire sentinel]

I wanted to learn polish for awhile, but I think it's a step ahead of my league rn

[hot cloak]

I mean

if you really really want to learn Polish

just start learning Polish

[dire sentinel]

i study 2 languages in my free time at work, so I'm a bit pressed for time 😂

[hot cloak]

Language building blocks will generally just take longer if that's your goal

Ah I see

[dire sentinel]

But yea someday when I'm actually good at the ones I'm working on, I'll try Russian again then Polish

[opal sequoia]

That's awesome.

It's very lovely.

[dire sentinel]

so wie geht's ihnen

[opal sequoia]

ihnen?

[dire sentinel]

is that wrong 🤔

[opal sequoia]

Well what were you trying to say by it?

[dire sentinel]

"how is everyone"

[clever steppe]

not technically wrong

oh

yeah, thats wrong then

[dire sentinel]

poo

[clever steppe]

ihnen is you formal or them

well, they not them, but same diff

[opal sequoia]

I would say "Wie geht's euch?"

[dire sentinel]

Oh, right 😂

wie geht's euch dann

[opal sequoia]

Müde. Ich schlafe jetzt. Nacht. Bis bald.

[dire sentinel]

gute nacht

[opal sequoia]

💕

[fair iron]

Nacht!

[dire sentinel]

Casca, warum sind Sie rot? 🤔

[hot cloak]

Er ist "Trusted"

[opal sequoia]

Rot ist meine Lieblingsfarbe. That's why. 😉

[dire sentinel]

ah so 🤔

[grave adder]

@opal sequoia Ach ja, Rot ist auch meine Lieblingsfarbe c:

[opal sequoia]

👌

[dire sentinel]

weiss ist meine 🤔

kein Schlaf, base?

[opal sequoia]

Ja, ich bin im Bett.

[hot cloak]

Da wäre ich jetzt auch gerne

:)

[opal sequoia]

Aber on the phone now. 😶

[dire sentinel]

wie viel uhr ist es für dich?

[clever steppe]

i think "wie spät" might communicate that question better

[dire sentinel]

hmm, wie spät ist es dann

Maybe it's just afternoon nap time 🤔

[quasi merlin]

18:09

[clever steppe]

base lives in australia if you were wondering creepy

[dire sentinel]

Oh, then it really is late 🙃

[clever steppe]

@quasi merlin you should change that every minute for the next 24 hours

[quasi merlin]

[lavish saddle]

P-Pikachu :3

[hot cloak]

pika pi

[still hazel]

I have a question that is total,y related to learning german

Who are north korea's allies that would share the same views as Syria?

And what does Syria want the UN to do about North Korea?

[topaz forge]

As far as I know North Korea hasn't said much anything about Syria? O.o

Neither has Syria?

[still hazel]

Exactly

But I have to decipher something from that

[clever steppe]

i wasnt aware north korea had any allies

[still hazel]

Lol ikr

Well syria is an ally

But idk who the other allies are

[topaz forge]

It doesn't contribute to the Syrian war

So why are you asking this

[hot cloak]

China is a DPRK ally afaik

[clever steppe]

i thought china was more like their leash holder

[still hazel]

Its for an assignment

[hot cloak]

for all intents and purposes same thing

they have a vested interest in a divided korea

[dire lark]

I feel guilty, I barely studied yesterday

[grave adder]

I feel guilty, I barely studied in a month

[dire lark]

rip

lets start studying now then

[grave adder]

Although it's the vacations, so I guess I might be exempt from the duties of studying for a little while

I do need to start studying again though lol

Thanks for reminding

[dire lark]

👍

Ich habe Hunger 😦

[jaunty vine]

Denn iss

[pine ginkgo]

Dann

[dire lark]

Ich no habe Essen

@jaunty vine

[jaunty vine]

ahh ich war unsicher und dachte "denn" war recht :/

ah, tja, das ist ein Problem denn(ich hoffe "denn" ist richtig da)

[fair iron]

*dann.

[jaunty vine]

come on

[fair iron]

^^

[jaunty vine]

i'll have to go read about them now

[fair iron]

Then --> Dann.

[jaunty vine]

Is it that simple?

[fair iron]

Pretty much.

[jaunty vine]

Oh. And denn is just because?

[pine ginkgo]

with a small twist!

but yes

[jaunty vine]

What twist 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

because also translates to weil

now look at these examples

I go home because it is late

now in german

1. Ich gehe nach Hause, weil es spät ist.

2. Ich gehe nach Hause, denn es ist spät.

twist! shocking! 😱

[jaunty vine]

Ahh

Why is that?

[pine ginkgo]

because it is.

[jaunty vine]

Well, ok

Thanks

Is A1.2 50% of the way to A2 (which is the same as A2.1?)?

Because that would be dumb

Why not just A1.0 and A1.5

[dire sentinel]

How do you know which level you are, anyway

[jaunty vine]

Like, why would you use base 3 or something

There are official tests you can take

There are also some unofficial in here somewhere

[dire sentinel]

Oh, neato

[jaunty vine]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages You can also read here (under common reference levels) and see what fits

[hot cloak]

@jaunty vine Weil es spät ist, bleibe ich eher zuhause 👍
Denn es ist spät,.. 👎
Ich bleibe zuhause, denn es ist spät 👍

[pine ginkgo]

i'm pretty sure you never start a sentence with denn

[naive charm]

im pretty sure thats why the thumb is pointing down

[pine ginkgo]

oh

i was ignoring them very hard

i just noticed there were thumbs at all

[hot cloak]

the code formatting messed up the thumbs lol

[stone sentinel]

I've also heard denn as some sort of sentence particle? But I'm not entirely sure what feeling it implies or where I should/shouldnt use it

[sharp willow]

Can you give an example

[tropic shoal]

General chat is too busy for me lol. But I'm interested in seeing an example too

[sharp willow]

ja i agree

[stone sentinel]

Oof I cant think of an example from where I saw it used before right now but something like "Was geht hier denn ab?"

Ich brauche denn ein Bier

Ich brauche Hilfe denn ich verstehe denn nicht

Ok probably not that last one

[sharp willow]

never seen it used like that before

you use it was not dann?

[thick charm]

Right, so denn is a bit weird and it's only natural that you would have problems with it

First of all it's used as a conjunction, indicating a reason for something. "Ich hole mir ein Getränk, denn ich bin durstig."

But you knew about that one

Denn is one of those hilariously unnecessary things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_particle

It can be used in colloquial language for example to express doubt over something like for example: "Kannst du denn schon schreiben?" "Can you write already?"
It's important to note that while you can use denn here to reinforce your surprise or doubt, it's not needed.

Got it? Nice, because it's about to get worse.

You can use it to make a question sound more casual or incidental and less direct. Again, this is only in colloquial language and it's not needed for the sentence to make sense.

@stone sentinel did that help you at all?

[stone sentinel]

Yeah that helps

Way better than most other things I've read

[sharp willow]

So you don't really translate it..

[thick charm]

you don't, no

[stone sentinel]

Particles man

[thick charm]

I hate particles

[stone sentinel]

You would LOOOOOVE Japanese

[thick charm]

end me

[sharp willow]

lol end you?

[quaint gyro]

Hey guys, what's the best way to restart learing german? I don't mind learing from the basic by the way.

[foggy birch]

Chuck

Are u there?

@thick charm Earth calling Chuck.

[thick charm]

oh sorry

yeah hey I'm here

[foggy birch]

Ich mag, dass ich den Tag meines Vaters besser machen kann.

Kann man dort "verbessern benutzen?

[thick charm]

@quaint gyro You could try to learn a book you're familiar with in German. If that's too complicated, childrens books usually help a lot

Ich würde "verschönern" benutzen

"Ich möchte den Tag meines Vaters verschönern"

oder

"Ich möchte meinem Vater den Tag verschönen"

[foggy birch]

But that's not the same.

So in german we do not say "Verbessern ein tag"?

[thick charm]

no

[dire sentinel]

ooh ooh read the book about the eisbar

[opal sequoia]

Eisbar?

[dire sentinel]

bär

[sharp willow]

fuer Kinder?

[dire sentinel]

ja 🐻

es ist süß

[quaint gyro]

Author?

[dire sentinel]

hans de beer, ich glaube

[quaint gyro]

Ok, danke

[foggy birch]

Also dann vielen Dank

Chuck ❤

[sharp willow]

^_^

[forest dirge]

Hey @thick charm ! One of my application statuses reads "Antrag wird in Kürze an Hochschule weitergeleitet (oder VPD wird in Kürze an Sie verschickt) "

Do you know what VPD is?

[thick charm]

Vorprüfungsdokumentation - just a document that proves that you fulfill the necessary requirements

I think

[forest dirge]

Ahhh vielen Dank!

[thick charm]

http://www.uni-assist.de/vpd-verfahren.html That's the one

if you can read this at all

[forest dirge]

Ah

Yeah I can understand it for the most part!

[hot cloak]

there's a big peace march today in köln 😃 it's kinda nice!

[lavish saddle]

That's cool :3

[lavish saddle]

Seems like a cool city :3

[fair iron]

Sieht echt toll aus!

[forest dirge]

Anybody going to Southside or Hurricane festival?

[hot cloak]

jo, ist muslime & freunde 😃

viele flüchtlinge die ich kenne sind hier irgendwo

[forest dirge]

! That's awesome.

We need more of these things nowadays.

[fair iron]

When it comes to a peace march, you can never have enough, really.

[hot cloak]

yeah 😃 10.000 people or so

[lavish saddle]

:3 that's great

[forest dirge]

^Saw "der Koran", dachte "der Korean" was confused.

[hot cloak]

hahaha

close

[fair iron]

😮 I actually have a picture of that passage saved.

[hot cloak]

😃

[fair iron]

I wonder if I can find it.

[forest dirge]

Translation? Whoever kills an innocent man, something something "collective humanity"?

Sünde... Sin?

[hot cloak]

i was pretty sad, the comments on the local newspaper article about the march today are just hetzen

yeah

[fair iron]

Found it.

[hot cloak]

whoever kills 1 innocent man commits a sin as if he had killed all of mankind

[forest dirge]

Ahhhh

[hot cloak]

vernichten is stronger than kill tho i guess

like to destroy

[forest dirge]

I was going to ask why vernichten

Okay. And why is it in the Konjunktiv 1?

[hot cloak]

because it's quoting the koran

[fair iron]

Unless I'm mistaken, the passage goes on to say:
[...], and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he has saved all mankind.

[hot cloak]

i think that's right

[forest dirge]

Ohhhh

If it were a direct quote it wouldn't be in Kon1 right?

Like if it used quotation marks?

Seeing Konjunktiv 1 in the wild throws me off.

[fair iron]

Yep.

[hot cloak]

haha

[quasi merlin]

BIn ich jetzt verwirrt?

[hot cloak]

du bist immer verwirrt lieber mika

[forest dirge]

Immer

[quasi merlin]

Das klingt nicht sehr nett, Riot :<

[hot cloak]

❤

lol, kölle allah

die islamisierung geht weiter!!1!

[quasi merlin]

Hat der Konjunktiv da wirklich mit indirekter Rede zu tun?

[forest dirge]

kölle allah bedeutet...?

[hot cloak]

kölle is cologne in kölsch dialect

[forest dirge]

Das ist, was ich gelernt habe.

[hot cloak]

during karneval we yell kölle alaaf

[forest dirge]

Konjunktiv 1 für indirekte Rede, Zeitungen, Interviews

Ahh lol sounds like a good time.

[pine ginkgo]

du bist immer verwirrt, mikuh

[quasi merlin]

Hab's beim ersten Mal verstanden, danke

[pine ginkgo]

kann man ja nicht wissen

[hot cloak]

aww 😦 sorry mika

[pine ginkgo]

wow

sei stark riot

lass dich nicht unterkriegen

[hot cloak]

lol

[sudden panther]

"...als habe er die gesamte Menschheit vernichtet."
Was it Juan holding that sign? 😄

[hot cloak]

is juan an arab-looking woman? 🤔

we might be onto something

[sudden panther]

🤔

Question the woman and see just how much she likes Konjunktiv I.

[hot cloak]

eheheheh

[sudden panther]

Things I hate about Juan: How fucking white he is.

[hot cloak]

😮

[forest dirge]

But his name is Juan

[sudden panther]

http://i.imgur.com/5IlGigW.png

That's the best I could do. 😦

[hot cloak]

hahaha

[dire sentinel]

🙃

[opal sequoia]

So my aunt gave me some info on where my German relatives live.

Or at least the ones whom I could potentially stay with.

[dire sentinel]

Where at?

[hot cloak]

😮

[opal sequoia]

The towns are Bornheim (near Bonn), Wahlsteht (near Hamburg) and Rügen.

[dire sentinel]

oh dope, options

[hot cloak]

oooh

i know bornheim

[opal sequoia]

Well it would be nice if I could stay with each of them for a while, of coure. It's not like it's anytime soon.

Just curious to learn about them.

[dire sentinel]

Oh wow Rügen has beaches?

[hot cloak]

ye

[dire sentinel]

yo looks dope af from the Google Images

[opal sequoia]

Oh, yeah, Rügen is near Stralsund.

[dire sentinel]

I'd vacation there instant

I wish I had european family

Just hop over to visit Great Aunt Sue

[opal sequoia]

Marry someone there. Problem solved. 👌

[dire sentinel]

Ugh

I could but my boyfriend is spanish and I don't want to visit spain forever

[opal sequoia]

That's the european section of my supermarket for you all to admir.

[frank dove]

o u could have some. toffifee and capri-sonne too

[hot cloak]

but they sell those in america

[dire sentinel]

capri-sonne

[frank dove]

they're still german tho

[dire sentinel]

wowie wow

[hot cloak]

they used to be called capri sonne

but not anymore

[frank dove]

oh right yeah

[dire sentinel]

i had no idea

[frank dove]

yonom was complaining he was boycotting the change

[opal sequoia]

Btw have you guys been to Luxembourg? What's it like there?

[hot cloak]

i mean in DE

[dire sentinel]

they're just some lil walmart drinks to me

[hot cloak]

never been to lux but i can spit into it from here basically

heh

[thick charm]

Luxembourg is just like Germany but everyone speaks French instead

[dire sentinel]

I wanna try more Kinder candies, I had a bunch for the first time in Spain and got sick off of them

[opal sequoia]

I have a friend from a website who lives there so I should meet up with her.

[dire sentinel]

but they didn't have all of em

[frank dove]

kinder buenos are soooooo good

[opal sequoia]

She speaks a lot of languages. ):

[hot cloak]

i'd love to go but i can't freakin travel til i get my new passport

[dire sentinel]

My favorites are the uh.... hippoes

[hot cloak]

i'm being driven slowly insane ;_;

[opal sequoia]

Ohh, when do you get it?

Just waiting?

[hot cloak]

the german government invalidated my visa

so my US passport is dangerous to travel with now

and i've been waiting on my german passport and ID for 4 weeks

[opal sequoia]

That's fair.

[dire sentinel]

🤔 why'd they do that

[frank dove]

how did your visa get invalidated

[hot cloak]

because i'm a german citizen now

[frank dove]

o! nice

[hot cloak]

and don't need a visa

[dire sentinel]

oh

[hot cloak]

but it's hard to prove with no ID or passport

i just thought "hey i could go to belgium or something this week"

nope :/

[dire sentinel]

[opal sequoia]

Soon!

Once you get it, it'll all be okay.

And where do you guys live again, @hot cloak and @thick charm ?

[hot cloak]

i'm in köln

[thick charm]

Frankfurt

[frank dove]

nice

[opal sequoia]

Danke.

[dire sentinel]

weekend is over now

[hot cloak]

nooooo

[opal sequoia]

Frankfurt has the main airport for international or...?

[hot cloak]

depends where you're flying from

[frank dove]

what was immigrating to germany like, riot?

[thick charm]

the airport is pretty large yeah

[hot cloak]

i fly from US to DE via DUS usually

[opal sequoia]

Just wondering because my aunt said it's usually Frankfurt.

[hot cloak]

it was a pain in the ass

ah from Aus that might be yea

frankfurt is rather large

[dire sentinel]

Do you bother flying business or first or just baggage

[opal sequoia]

Thank you very much for all the information. You guys are seriously amazing and deserve 10000 gold stars.

[hot cloak]

i don't have that kind of money rofl

[dire sentinel]

damn same

[hot cloak]

first class from my hometown to DE is somewhere in the $5k range

[opal sequoia]

Cheapest flight but on a decent airline.

[dire sentinel]

best i can do is baggage+

[hot cloak]

i've become a flight pro tho

[dire sentinel]

I strongly considered spending an extra 2k on business doe

[hot cloak]

eh

if you can sleep anywhere like i can it probably isn't worth it

[dire sentinel]

I totally can't

[hot cloak]

oooh

well then...

[dire sentinel]

and my knees hit the back of the seat in front of me and I spilt wine on my sweatpants

[opal sequoia]

But think about how much use you can make of that money in the place you visit.

[dire sentinel]

bad time, in economy

[hot cloak]

lol spilt wine on sweatpants 😦

[dire sentinel]

the wine was for sleepin, but with a cold crotch no such event happend

[opal sequoia]

Do the flights have free alcohol there?

[hot cloak]

i take benzos for sleepin

[dire sentinel]

the long ones do

[frank dove]

what's frankfurt's airport code

[hot cloak]

you can get free beer

[dire sentinel]

i might try that

[hot cloak]

FRA i think

[frank dove]

danke

[dire sentinel]

I fink, American has free wine and beer

[hot cloak]

gerne

[frank dove]

wtf there's flights under 1k wow

[dire sentinel]

although they've neglected to charge me for the stronger stuff multiple times

[hot cloak]

cheapest i've gotten round trip US to DE and back is ~$500

but that was a steal

[dire sentinel]

I got my flight to Spain for $400 this year

👌

where I PLANNED to spend like 1.5k

[hot cloak]

nice

are you flying from a hub?

[dire sentinel]

nope, from KCI

[hot cloak]

weow

[dire sentinel]

and my connection flight in the hub is 30 minutes long 🙃

the layover that is

so who knows if I'll make that

[hot cloak]

that's cuttin it close

[dire sentinel]

I've already started having nightmares about not making it

[hot cloak]

i try to keep it above 45 min

so i have time to eat maybe too

[dire sentinel]

Hopefully I can tell my stewardesses like, "yo, phone across the terminal and tell them this bitch is sprinting across the airport, pls wait for her"

[hot cloak]

lol

RUN

that's me trying to herd mr riot through airports

[opal sequoia]

Wow.

You're brave.

[dire sentinel]

If it weren't for the crazy low price i prolly wouldn't have tried it

God forbid my first flight is delayed, but then at least they have to rebook me on diff flights

[restive pagoda]

where are you going ?

[hot cloak]

yeah tru

[dire sentinel]

and I don't think I have to go between terminals

You mean, for the short layover or for the final destination

[hot cloak]

rly? no terminal change from domestic to intl?

[dire sentinel]

looks like it's Minneapolis, and if i recall the maps right i don't think there;s a change

[opal sequoia]

Huh, interesting.

[dire sentinel]

I thought so too

[hot cloak]

handy

[dire sentinel]

Alright lads, this bitch got herself some work tomorrow / nighty night

[opal sequoia]

Schlaf gut, creepy.

[hot cloak]

sleep tight

don't let the creepies bite...?

[dire sentinel]

2 late

[lavish saddle]

Imma just move over here @hot cloak are there any places that you would recommend visiting in Japan?

[hot cloak]

uhh depends what you wanna see

[lavish saddle]

Hm...Pretty stuff 😄

That is also not too crazy for a wheelchair

[hot cloak]

i lived in a small-ish city not on the main island

oof

that idk

i had to fly to osaka to complete some tests for my american school

so we stuck around and hit universal while there

[lavish saddle]

Hm o.o That's super cool though, you did an exchange program?

[hot cloak]

yeah

[lavish saddle]

Wow 😄

That's super cool

[hot cloak]

the city i went to is actually really cool

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumamoto

there's a large active volcano not too far from it

nagasaki is right across the bay

[lavish saddle]

whoa o.o

[hot cloak]

so i went to the nuclear bomb museum

(very awkward as an obviously-not-japanese person)

[lavish saddle]

I know that my boyfriend really wants to go to like Akihabara

(I can imagine that lmao)

But when we do get around to going to japan, we'd like to visit multiple places

Not just one city

[fair iron]

When will you be going, Kurisu?

I'll be visiting Japan for the first time in July, so I'll hopefully be able to recommend some places. 😃

[hot cloak]

oooh

[fair iron]

I also just found out that Japan has 110 active volcanoes.

^^

[dire sentinel]

Plenty of choices when you're trying to pick an active volcano to toss your cursed ring into

[lavish saddle]

Oh, it's going to be in a long time

😃 Like I said, for a honey moon in the future

So maybe when I'm out of college in 5-7 years

[fair iron]

The ring was forged in the fires of one very specific volcano. Although it is fitting that there's only one anyway. 🤔

[lavish saddle]

Basically, whenever my boyfriend has a job actually...So it could be in a few years instead

:3 But, I'd appreciate it

and if there are any other really cool places, especially around Europe that you can recommend, I'd totally be game for that too

[dire sentinel]

Japan sounds lit to go to but I'm terrified bc I know I won't know the language

[forest dirge]

just walk around screaming "KAWAII-DESUUUUUU" you'll be fine

[lavish saddle]

I understand some, but I can't speak any

and then the writing I can't understand at all 😄

[dire sentinel]

"KONNICHIWA, KAWAIII"

[forest dirge]

See, C2 already.

[lavish saddle]

DESU

[dire sentinel]

there we go

Yeah Desu makes me fluent

[lavish saddle]

xD yep

[hot cloak]

hahaha you mean "self-assessed N1"

the most obnoxious phrase in all japanese learning spheres

[dire sentinel]

🤔 That's greek to me

Does Japanese get more levels than us

[hot cloak]

well the A/B/C levels are the european framework

japanese doesnt use this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese-Language_Proficiency_Test

N5 is lowest, N1 is highest

[lavish saddle]

oh o.o

I'd love to learn japanese :3

[naive charm]

@lavish saddle then just do it. Nothing is stopping you i guess

[hot cloak]

when i was living there i was ~N2

[dire sentinel]

ohhh i see

[hot cloak]

but now its probably ... N3? not sure

[dire sentinel]

How many times a day did you REALLY say "kawaii"

[forest dirge]

Depends on how cute you are.

[hot cloak]

0 to 1

[naive charm]

im currently learning but i have a hard time doing so, cause i have nobody to learn with, but id love to learn with somebody

[hot cloak]

aww

id love to get back into it 😃

[twilit garden]

and then move to Düsseldorf? No, bad riot, bad

[lavish saddle]

Mh, what's stopping me is that I really have to focus on German

[hot cloak]

😉

[dire sentinel]

i'm like, 6 cute

[hot cloak]

i used to make doctor's appts in düsseldorf in japanese

[dire sentinel]

that's how many cutes i have

[hot cloak]

was very very handy

[lavish saddle]

But I'd really love to 😃

[hot cloak]

i didnt even know the german word "Termin" lel

[naive charm]

@lavish saddle mazbe zou can use german to use japanese and translatwe from german to japanese to learn them both at the same time

[twilit garden]

Japanisch > Privatversicherung

[lavish saddle]

I mean, not a bad idea 😄

[hot cloak]

show up to doc office
staff looks shocked im white

[twilit garden]

lel

[lavish saddle]

My boyfriend is just really against me wasting my time on any language other than german

Since I have to have it for uni

[twilit garden]

i mean, there is wörk, work and hobbies

[naive charm]

@lavish saddle めぐみんちゃんに信じてる

is this correct

i don|t know

[lavish saddle]

it says ''I trust Megumin Chan'' in google translator

[naive charm]

@lavish saddle never trust google translate

[lavish saddle]

I never do

but

I use it when I don't understand the main picture

or if I don't know the symbols/letters xD

[naive charm]

use jisho for that. There you can look kanji up

by searching via radicals

[lavish saddle]

oh cool 😮

[twilit garden]

Google translate at its best

[dire sentinel]

terrifying

[hot cloak]

hahaha

[lavish saddle]

XD

[naive charm]

economics, economics and economics?

i think google just forgot to add economics

[lavish saddle]

such economics, much wow

[dire sentinel]

It's my college nightmares all over again

[hot cloak]

^

[lavish saddle]

One day 😄

[gilded kraken]

As an economics student, I endorse this translation. :P

[sudden panther]

As a CS student, hello wat is a money how dose it work??

[grand skiff]

as a student please give me money

i want to eat meat this week

[sudden panther]

Though I'm pretty knowledgable when it comes to economy, by just following these two simple rules:

1. Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
2. No, we can't just print out more money.
   

[grand skiff]

the government disagrees with you on 2

[sudden panther]

They should really get rid of 2 though. It would solve all of our problems.

[grand skiff]

we just solved economics

[sudden panther]

Yaaaaaaaaay. Heard that econ students? You can all go home now, it's over.

[gilded kraken]

TFW you find out you have no longer have a job ;_;

[grand skiff]

its ok u can just print money now

[thick charm]

Nice

and so the entire world became Zimbabwe

[outer seal]

👌

[dire lark]

how is everybody?

also sorry to hear it @gilded kraken

[dire sentinel]

👌 everyday's a gud day

[thick charm]

doing great

[dire lark]

good to hear

for the past couple days I haven't studied german

how can I punish myself so I keep studying?

[gilded kraken]

Hahaha that was just a joke about Arrem and Cuppa "solving" economics :P

[dire lark]

oh I didn't read the context...

[dire sentinel]

self-spanking

[dire lark]

@dire sentinel my arms aren't that long

[dire sentinel]

🤔

[dire lark]

it'd be more of a pat

[dire sentinel]

like they say in the gym when I eat an entire cake, "today is a new day"

just get back studyin

[dire lark]

k but I gotta finish this episode first

[dire sentinel]

🤔 hmm

[shy bobcat]

I just landed back in Phoenix thank god

[hot cloak]

how was the flight?

[lost dagger]

is it a bad idea to carry a laptop in a turnbeutel?

[hot cloak]

without a case maybe

other stuff in beutel?

[lost dagger]

I don't have a case

I can put a shirt or something in it

it's just my only backpack with a laptop sleeve is HUGE

[hot cloak]

[lost dagger]

and heavy

I'll do that

[lost dagger]

my throat is dying 😦

[hot cloak]

[twilit garden]

[lost dagger]

[hot cloak]

[lost dagger]

snakes are basically throats

[hot cloak]

throats with butts and teeth

[pallid kelp]

[quasi merlin]

Die and respawn

Or get a fan

[dire sentinel]

window unit AC

[hot cloak]

fan

the good ones are at the baumärkte like obi, hornbach, etc

[pallid kelp]

i saw an awesome alien thing at saturn

a ring thing that blew air from nothingness

probably not worth the price but i'd kill 1d4 random people to have one right now

[quasi merlin]

Please don't kill 468 random people.

[pallid kelp]

how

[hot cloak]

i would be impressed with a roll of 468 from 1d4

[thick charm]

It's a giant d4 filled with multiple smaller d4s

[quasi merlin]

[hot cloak]

http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/JumboD4.gif

H E M D

💪

[thick charm]

[solid timber]

[thick charm]

That's the only reasonable CoA

[hot cloak]

songs?

[pine ginkgo]

get a gun tat

[solid timber]

meh

[pallid kelp]

i dislike tshirts but being male restricts the variety of my wardrobe severely

[pine ginkgo]

cat ears berzi

[thick charm]

Even as a guy you have a lot of options

[pine ginkgo]

where do i get quality cat ears

[pallid kelp]

no idea sol, mine are kinda rubbish

[thick charm]

Shirts, T-Shirts, going commando with a creepy Trenchcoat´

All of those things work

[pallid kelp]

you call those options?

[thick charm]

yup

[pine ginkgo]

imma try ask my cosplay derps

[dire sentinel]

what i don't have a trenchboat

coat

oh wait

i misread

[pine ginkgo]

i wish the chinese traditional shirts weren't so hot

[pallid kelp]

i mean, my cat ears are very soft and all but they easily fall off because they're only held up by a pin

[pine ginkgo]

i would wear them more often

[pallid kelp]

chinese traditional shirts?

[dire sentinel]

wear this http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MzAwWDMwMA==/z/yGUAAOSw7NNT~9R~/$_35.JPG?set_id=2

[pine ginkgo]

those thingies you see asians wearing in american kung fu films etc

[pallid kelp]

oh they're cool

but who would wear them outside

[pine ginkgo]

i do

:(

[pallid kelp]

good for you.

[pine ginkgo]

i actually wear them every year to Chinese new year

but they are still fucking hot in winter

[pallid kelp]

i feel any kind of good looking, non-shirt clothing on men is frowned upon

[pine ginkgo]

come to think of many traditional asian dresses are fucking hot

i need an occasion to wear my traditional dress again

[dire sentinel]

get married

get me a green card

[pallid kelp]

fuck yes i solved a css "riddle" that has stressed me out for two days

[hot cloak]

wooo!

[pallid kelp]

this fucker used a symbol-based font to choose icons and apply them using a ::before and content: combo with css codes, which i, as an amateur, knew nothing about (and btw apparently people love making converters to covert INTO css code but not one person thought of making one that works in reverse)

only the thing was done badly and several things were missing or malfunctioning but i couldn't fix it without knwoing how it worked

the intricacy of webdesign is a love/hate relationship. Mostly hate though

[twilit garden]

@shy bobcat seems you got lucky:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40339730

[pallid kelp]

ok so, this is confusing af

i have to get an insurance and i have no idea where to start

wherever i look i have to send my data just to get information about stuff and that already gives me a bad vibe

[hot cloak]

what kind of insurance are you looking for

[pallid kelp]

see that's another problem

i have to get an insurance because by law i have to do it, but what should i even look for

[hot cloak]

Krankenversicherung, probably

[pallid kelp]

yes

i want to be able to get medical care easily and for free/cheap

[pine ginkgo]

eh

[hot cloak]

http://www.krankenkasseninfo.de/

[pine ginkgo]

it doesn't matter for krankenversicherung

don't forget to get a haftplichtversicherung too, though

or share with your bf

[pallid kelp]

what's that

[pine ginkgo]

about things you accidentally break from other people

[hot cloak]

the Beitragssatz differs though

also yes, get one of those

[pine ginkgo]

like you go to the bakery

and accidentally break a stuhl

and stuff like that

[hot cloak]

me irl

[pine ginkgo]

wait did you

[hot cloak]

nah, my bicycle fell on a car whilst I was getting bread though

so that was nice

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[hot cloak]

same thing though

[pine ginkgo]

haftpflichtversicherung is optional

[hot cloak]

highly recommended

[pine ginkgo]

but you should definitely have it

makes life a lot less worrisome

[hot cloak]

And saves you a lot of money in the long run

even if you dont need it

(technically)

https://www.check24.de/haftpflichtversicherung/

[pine ginkgo]

did you say your bf has family in germany?

[hot cloak]

Theres a difference between KFZ- and Privathaftpflicht btw

[pallid kelp]

a cousin in germany, yes. Does that help?

[pine ginkgo]

ah, then no
