The reason why you'll generally have the outside value being the derivative is just because that's how the chain rule for differentiation works. If you differentiate some function f(g(x)) you get g'(x)f'(g(x)). So this technique is just the reverse of that particular case.

[tribal warren]

what?

oh latex

sorry it was too simple to use latex

[opal sequoia]

How is your Mathe going?

Mr Berg.

[tribal warren]

It was great I did a lot of exercises today

[opal sequoia]

Cool.

[tribal warren]

today was very productive

[opal sequoia]

I guess you are too good to need any help.

[tribal warren]

xD

Base don't be sad plsss

Oh

I was wondering about a real cool problem

[opal sequoia]

Oh?

[tribal warren]

You can try doing it

uuh

Okay idk if I can write this in good english

one sec

[main frigate]

Jeopardy music

[tribal warren]

Given a regular cube, where the centers of its faces are the vertices of a octahedron. That way, the centers of the faces of that octahedron are the vertices of another cube. Doing that infinite times, determine the sum of all of the volumes of the polyhedrons

I'm pretty sure @ancient spade did this, as it was in one of his tests, I was just wondering about it, I don't feel like doing it, I'm pretty sure I could do it or at least like I think that I know how to do it but it seems too much work xD

Maybe I'll play something now, been studying all day I need something to chill

[opal sequoia]

Play what?

[tribal warren]

Battlerite with 2 brazilian friendos

:p

[opal sequoia]

Oh.

[pine ginkgo]

i should play battlerite again

🤔

[opal sequoia]

I want to play games too.

What do you mean?

I have exams still. No ideas are happening.

[viscid cape]

I see. 😛 It was just a general question though, didn't mean to imply it referred to the present

[red pewter]

In einem Sommergarten, ein junger romantischer Mann mit einer Zuneigung für Idealismus zupft eine Blume. @viscid cape

[lost dagger]

why's there a comma?

[red pewter]

because there was in the original and I probably suck

[lost dagger]

ok try it without the comma

[red pewter]

In einem Sommergarten ein junger romantischer Mann mit einer Zuneigung für Idealismus zupft eine Blume.

uh

seems like a mess

word order :?

[lost dagger]

[red pewter]

yikes

okay. let's think

we always want it in the second position

what's occupying the 1st position right now?

[hot cloak]

Hhha

Likewise

[noble goblet]

[hot cloak]

So that means prefering "du" to Sie?

[fair iron]

Online, yes.

I was not caring

[noble goblet]

this reminds me of a funny anecdote i saw on facebook once

this guy's german professor was mugged. but the kids kept using Sie as they demanded his wallet

"hand over your wallet, my good sir."

[lost dagger]

Could anyone give me advice for an essay I need to write? It's over 1 month late and I need to come up with a thesis still

I was wondering if it'd work to write an essay about how snakes can be therapy animals

I'm supposed to write something involving positive emotions and some other topic

[opal sequoia]

Seems fine.

[noble goblet]

oooh i like your topic! sadly i'm not confident enough to be correcting anyone's grammar anytime soon 👀 ;;;

[lost dagger]

I'm just wondering if it's an appropriate topic

[noble goblet]

well, it definitely sparked my interest

[lost dagger]

Alright!

Thanks

[noble goblet]

kein problem :)

[lost dagger]

I kind of doubt my professor will even let me turn it in though seeing as it's 1 month late and his policy says if you're submitting a late paper you have to submit it within 1 week of the due date

I guess I'll just hope for the best

It's 5:30 am and I'm sick and can't sleep

Exam at 10:30 :-s

[noble goblet]

oh dear

i can only wish you luck ;_;

[sour mesa]

@tribal warren Berg im in serious need

Or anybody else that can do optics

+physics

It's about the eyes

So is the focal length in the eye constant?

Because I got this as exercise a

Okay the full exercise text: Wessel has his finger 10cm before his eyes. The can't see the finger sharply. The distance between the eye lense and retina is 1.7cm (that is true for both eyes)

Now there is b

Now Wessel looks at a car that just passes and is 100m away from him. How big is the object distance in cm

100m*100 = 10000cm

So now I need to calculate the image distance for that

And I did that

If you want the calculation it's around 1cm

But now they ask for the focal length OF THAT CAR SITUATION without using arithmetic

[ancient spade]

Hm I didn't quite get what the question asks

Can you send the whole question?

[sour mesa]

Okay

Wessel has his finger 10cm before his eyes. The can't see the finger sharply. The distance between the eye lense and retina is 1.7cm (that is true for both eyes)
a. Calculate the focal length (did that)
b. Now Wessel looks to a passing car that rides 100m in the distance. How big is the object distance in cm (did that)
c. How big is the image distance for this situation? (did that)
d. Think how big the focal length is without using arithmetic (confused at this because I just calculated the focal length, or is it not constant and did I do something wrong at c?)

[ancient spade]

Does it literally say think? If so, maybe they want you to estimate something, just to make sure you understand the concept.

I saw this physics I book a while ago, where the guy would ask things like how many strands of hair do you have, or crazy stuff like that

[tribal warren]

@sour mesa You probably did it right, but the exercise is trying to make you understand the focal distance without doing maths, so I think you have to think about the fact that he can't see sharply within 10 cm

I don't really remember what I learned about the eyes in physics, I'm sorry xD

[sour mesa]

ohhhh

One other thing

[tribal warren]

?

[sour mesa]

The refractive index of a diamant is 2.4 for yellow light. From wich incident angle (rounded to 2 decimals) will a yellow light ray that goes from a diamant to air, being fully reflected Does this mean that I have to calc angle i if angle r is 180 degrees?

(don't mind my english)

[tribal warren]

from which incident angle will a yellow light ray that goes

I think you're missing a verb

[sour mesa]

🤔

Might be the langauge gap

[tribal warren]

okay

[sour mesa]

I'm translating my exercise literally

[tribal warren]

no that's not 180 degrees

[sour mesa]

ohhh okay

Is that 90 degrees then?

[tribal warren]

It's about total reflection if I'm not mistaken

nope

[sour mesa]

interal reflection?

[tribal warren]

You're not missing a verb

yea

do you know how this phenomenum works?

[sour mesa]

Not really

[tribal warren]

Okay so whenever rays hit the surface of another medium, it will usually do both reflection and refraction

But that depends on the angle

[sour mesa]

yeah

[tribal warren]

Usually, there's an angle that from that, you will only have reflection

But there's also a critical angle

[sour mesa]

I've learned that

[tribal warren]

okay so this

I believe it's asking for the critical angle

[sour mesa]

Ohhhh

[tribal warren]

So

from which angle will the light be totally reflected

[sour mesa]

That's just sin^-1(1/2.4) iirc

[tribal warren]

that's what it's asking, right?

[sour mesa]

It doesn't state literally that it is asking for the critical angle

But that could be it

[tribal warren]

Nope

but that is what it's asking for

I'm fairly sure

[sour mesa]

Okay

In my books it says it sin^-1(1/n) with n as the refractive index

[tribal warren]

good way to remember it

cause

arccsin(n1/n2) is a shitty way

(and that 1 is only if one of the mediums is air)

senL = the n that's the smallest/the n that's the biggest

L being the critical angle

so in this case

senL = 1/2.4

[sour mesa]

so rewrite snell's law?

[tribal warren]

I mean

kind of right xD

it comes from

also I wrote sen, sorry

fucking portuguese

sin*

[sour mesa]

Oh that can also be it 🤔

Can't you do

[tribal warren]

but remember

[sour mesa]

NO

[sour mesa]

cant you just do this?

because that's rewriting snells law

[tribal warren]

?

I mean, sure

but it's good to remember the way I told you

because it will only occur if na>nb

btw

that's how Optical fiber works

[sour mesa]

Sorry but what is L and n_a and n_b

[tribal warren]

L is the critical angle

n_a is the medium with the biggest/most refractive index out of the two

and n_a is the medium with the smallest/least refractive index out of the tow

[sour mesa]

oh okay

[tribal warren]

if the incident angle is higher or equal to L

it will occur total reflection

@sour mesa you good now?

I gotta do some things if you have any questions hit me up

[sour mesa]

yeh

[merry geyser]

So

[opal sequoia]

So you have that inequality, right? So you know that whatever numbers you choose have to agree with that.

[merry geyser]

what do you mean

like x = 0 x+1 = 1

?

Lemme post it here

[opal sequoia]

1<=(x+1)<=(y+1)<=(z+1)

[merry geyser]

Ye

[opal sequoia]

And you know that (x+1)(y+1)(z+1) = 45 = 1(3)(3)(5)

Whoops.

[merry geyser]

Yes

We get 45 all the way to the prime numbers

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

[merry geyser]

\ * can work

1*2

Why do we get it to the prime numbers tho

[opal sequoia]

Let me write it like a = x + 1 and so on, to make it easier to read/write about.

abc = 45

You know that these a, b, c have to be some re-grouping of the factors of 45.

[merry geyser]

Yes

[opal sequoia]

So for example 1, (3)(3), and 5.

Or 1, 3, (3)(5).

Or so on.

[merry geyser]

Oh yeah ok regrouping so

Then do I just do the regrouping with my mind or?

Is there a method to get all the regroups possible

[opal sequoia]

You can write down all the possible variations.

It's only a small amount of numbers.

[merry geyser]

Yeah since they're not equal as well its much easier

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

So you just write down all the combinations.

And then you make sure they fit the inequality.

1 <= a <= b <= c

So for example, if you take the one where it's 1, 9, 5.

Then you know that a = 1, b = 5, and c = 9.

[merry geyser]

but how can 2,2,4 equal 44 lol

[opal sequoia]

Where does it say it equals 44?

[merry geyser]

and 4,8

[opal sequoia]

It says 3, 3, 5 is 45.

[merry geyser]

its a b c = 45

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

[merry geyser]

wait

then xyz = 42?

[opal sequoia]

No.

[merry geyser]

Oh right

just -1

we don't care what they're equal to

[opal sequoia]

You are trying to satisfy the equation at the start of the question.

[merry geyser]

Yes

[opal sequoia]

Not xyz

[merry geyser]

It needs much observation

to solve something like this

[opal sequoia]

Yes.

You have to look for patterns.

[merry geyser]

why does he state that 45 = 133*5 tho we don't really care about that

[opal sequoia]

What do you mean?

[merry geyser]

1*3*3*5

[opal sequoia]

How will you find out the values if you don't know that?

[merry geyser]

Ok got it

[opal sequoia]

Like, look at this: abc = 45

How will you find abc here?

[merry geyser]

ye got it

how does xy + x +y + 1 become (x+1)(y+1)

[opal sequoia]

Try expanding (x+1)(y+1)

[merry geyser]

I don't get how it progresses to (x+1)(y+1)

like, x(y + 1) + y + 1

oh x(y+1) + (y+1) = (y+1)(x+1)

[opal sequoia]

Sure.

[merry geyser]

cool

I saw that an A1 has to have basic skills that's why, also to see if I'm A2. I don't want an official site.

[viscid cape]

Wanna try translating a Ger-Eng little poem?

[thick charm]

"I don't think it's supposed to be like this", said the distraught writer after reading through his book

It's like an arcade fighting game

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER

[viscid cape]

Chuck who was your favourite in Mortal Kombat

[ocean robin]

72% on the A2 test for me last time

And yeah Chuck, I have a problem with your sentence

"be like"

[pine ginkgo]

hehe

i am interested in how you will translate that part

[ocean robin]

I was going to use aussehen and then said "heh nope nope nope"

[fair iron]

But there are three answers, unless I'm missing something.

[thick charm]

eh

[pine ginkgo]

..mhh

[thick charm]

2

[fair iron]

It's not the best answer, but it's not entirely wrong, either.

[pine ginkgo]

i wouldn't count vergnügen

[thick charm]

yeah

[pine ginkgo]

if it were Mit Vergnügen

then yeah, but only Vergnügen

[thick charm]

Also I've always been a sub zero kinda guy, Krypti.

But I wasn't too much of a Mortal Kombat player anyway.

[viscid cape]

That's cool.

[thick charm]

Street Fighter was where it's at for me

[tribal warren]

Classic

[thick charm]

and my boy Vega

[tribal warren]

Chocc

[viscid cape]

I'm the opposite, I was terrible at Street Fighter

[tribal warren]

I always liked Sagat

[pine ginkgo]

wow

[thick charm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxaXBIeQtjI this was my jam

[pine ginkgo]

sagat spammer

go away

[tribal warren]

oh my

now I want to listen to Guile's theme

[viscid cape]

That song is epic

[thick charm]

I wasn't too bad in SF for a while but then I found that I'm even better at Melee. So I stuck with that.

[viscid cape]

😸

[thick charm]

I have a sick Marth. Play netplay every now and then.

Life's fun

[pine ginkgo]

[thick charm]

I eat some foxes for breakfast

So Luna

[tribal warren]

Anyone here liked Megaman?

[thick charm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gayJ6Hyw7lQ this teaches you all you need to know

[tribal warren]

Megaman X

[thick charm]

Megaman was my childhood

[tribal warren]

❤

+respectpoints

[pine ginkgo]

i was so bad

but i kept playing

[tribal warren]

Megaman is so hard for kids

[thick charm]

I did a no hit run of Megaman 10 once

[tribal warren]

it's still hard for me tbh

[thick charm]

get on my level skrubs

[pine ginkgo]

i don't think i ever managed to get to the wily stages as a kid

[tribal warren]

I loved the psone ones

omg

Megaman X franchise

[pine ginkgo]

yoyo

X and Zero

dude

[tribal warren]

Megaman X4, X5, X6

my favorite ones

[thick charm]

Also Luna, the key to playing Marth is to absolutely bm everyone with your ridiculous disjointed hitbox.

[tribal warren]

btw that soundtrack

[pine ginkgo]

haha

i love that gif

[tribal warren]

oh my god

[thick charm]

Also always keep moving

[tribal warren]

dr willy's stage 2

And you'll be good in no time. Marth is easy

[pine ginkgo]

i just want to do chaingrabs and the ken combo all day

my only reasons for living

[thick charm]

I live for the Ken combo

Also for m2k playing well

[pine ginkgo]

ken combo is the only reason i want to pay marth

[thick charm]

pay your respects

[pine ginkgo]

[ocean robin]

"Ich denke nicht, dass es wie das (nachgeraten/aussehen?) soll", sagte der verzweifelte Autor, nachdem durch sein Buch liest.
I hated this god, I am sure there's a lot of flops in that please send help immediately x.x

[thick charm]

hwite

[ocean robin]

lol

[sleek valve]

Guys, if I understood correctly, when speaking you use "Present Perfect" while using "Past Simple" in writng? is that correct? if so, WHY?

[thick charm]

I'm the German the moon

[tribal warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0MLscghcN4

just

[ocean robin]

too mich activity

[pine ginkgo]

eh, in simple terms, yeah, grey

[ocean robin]

oh

much

ugh

[pine ginkgo]

present perfect is easier to form than simple past

most times

[thick charm]

Well Flappy

I'm impressed

[ocean robin]

Wat.

[pine ginkgo]

but we do use simple past in german for select cases and verbs

[ocean robin]

🤔

[thick charm]

Not quite but you're closer than I thought

[ocean robin]

I reaally thought I fucked up

[sleek valve]

"Haben, sein and ...?"

[thick charm]

"Ich denke nicht, dass es wie das (nachgeraten/aussehen?) soll", sagte der verzweifelte Autor, nachdem durch sein Buch liest.

Right let's go through this one by one.

[pine ginkgo]

mostly all auxilary verbs and modal verbs are pretty much always in simple past

[sleek valve]

or I got it wrong?

[pine ginkgo]

also some other verbs

[sleek valve]

ok

[thick charm]

the word you want here is aussehen, that works. But wie das is not how I'd translate like that.

[pine ginkgo]

like wissen, kennen, denken, are often encountered in simple past

[ocean robin]

mmmh

Als?

[pine ginkgo]

there are more, but some are more specific for some cases

[thick charm]

shorter

[ocean robin]

🤔

shorter mmmh

[thick charm]

https://www.dict.cc/?s=like+this

[ocean robin]

so

[thick charm]

[sleek valve]

ahh, I see. Looking for "the simplest way"

[pine ginkgo]

don't take that as an excuse not to learn simple past, though, grey

but you mostly never go wrong with present perfect

[thick charm]

So how would you word the first sentence?

or the first clause rather

[sleek valve]

Sure, I will. Just wanted to be sure so I won't sound weird talking or writing if any.

[pine ginkgo]

futur 1, simple present and present perfect are pretty much the most used tenses for spoken german

[ocean robin]

"Ich denke nicht, dass es so aussehen soll", sagte der verzweifelte Autor, nachdem durch sein Buch liest. Like that?

[thick charm]

Yup, nailed the first part.

[pine ginkgo]

close

[ocean robin]

yus

[pine ginkgo]

you are missing a subject

[thick charm]

Sagte der verzweifelte Autor is also fine

[pine ginkgo]

not gonna tell you where

[ocean robin]

wow

[thick charm]

^

[pine ginkgo]

but there is a subject missing

[ocean robin]

oh

[thick charm]

Also after implies something

What does it imply, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

"Ich denke nicht, dass es so aussehen soll", sagte der verzweifelte Autor, nachdem er durch sein Buch liest. first

[thick charm]

If he does something after he did something

[ocean robin]

And then uuuh

[thick charm]

what does that mean for the second verb?

[ocean robin]

Past?

[thick charm]

yup

[ocean robin]

Mmmh let's just use Perfekt.

[viscid cape]

Can anyone check if this is loading

http://intrologic.stanford.edu/coursera/section.php?section=section_08_0

[cold vessel]

Nope

[pine ginkgo]

it's not

[viscid cape]

Thank you

[ocean robin]

"Ich denke nicht, dass es so aussehen soll", sagte der verzweifelte Autor, nachdem er durch sein Buch gelesen hat.

[pine ginkgo]

where did bell run off to

[sleek valve]

"Error: Sorry, there was an error connecting you to the application.Invalid or missing lti_message_type parameter."

[thick charm]

Actually, let's go a step further

Use plusquamperfekt

[viscid cape]

Thanks, here it's just blank

[ocean robin]

oh damn

[sleek valve]

Getting Taco?

[thick charm]

It's easy, you already have the right word order

[red pewter]

No more tacos....

[ocean robin]

"Ich denke nicht, dass es so aussehen soll", sagte der verzweifelte Autor, nachdem er durch sein Buch gelesen hatte.

[thick charm]

well done!

You did a well

[sleek valve]

It's like a trigger now? lol

[ocean robin]

:D

[cold vessel]

To check if my "cheating" works here: Can you say Ich denke nicht, dass es so sein soll?

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[tribal warren]

cheater

[ocean robin]

^

:(

[pine ginkgo]

my take would be Ich glaube nicht, dass es so sein sollte

[tribal warren]

I wanna cheat with portuguese

but it doesn't work

[ocean robin]

same

[tribal warren]

you also want to cheat with portuguese?

at least I can basically cheat spanish

[ocean robin]

I can cheat a little though with verb with -ieren

[cold vessel]

I'm really unclear on the difference between denken and glauben

[tribal warren]

like the whole language

[pine ginkgo]

in this context, none :)

[ocean robin]

Since they all have a French root

[red pewter]

I think I should probably go for a while. Maybe come back around the holidays

[pine ginkgo]

you leave us bell? 😦

[ocean robin]

😦

[sleek valve]

D:

[red pewter]

[ocean robin]

Well that is depressing.

[tribal warren]

rip

[fair iron]

Stay healthy and safe, Bell. We'll miss you.

[tribal warren]

Good Night TBell

[ocean robin]

Damn, I miss her already. 😦

[placid heath]

Nabend! Noch mal ne halbe Stunde da bevor ich wegen Samstag-Uni schlafen muss! :reee:

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Hey, Korea. ^^

[pine ginkgo]

lol korea

rip

[ocean robin]

Hallu Korea. ^^

[placid heath]

was solet

[ocean robin]

lel

[placid heath]

Hallo Flops

Bist du inzwischen C2?

[thick charm]

Ich mag dein Profilbild

[ocean robin]

ne

[cold vessel]

I have to go on campus tomorrow as well 😦

[placid heath]

:P Wieso nur Chuck :D

[ocean robin]

I HAVE A 3-DAY WEEKEND

WOOOO

[placid heath]

gg Floop

[pine ginkgo]

samstagsuni

ehehehe

[placid heath]

3 Days = B1 at least

[tribal warren]

I have my admission test sunday

wooo

no wait

[placid heath]

Naja Solet

[ocean robin]

That's not the good reaction Breg.

[placid heath]

Im Gegensatz zu dir leist ich was. :D

[tribal warren]

I mean

[pine ginkgo]

tja, wie lange noch?

:)

[placid heath]

Was hast DU morgen vor? :D

[tribal warren]

that's 5 hours of sitting in a shitty chair and doing dumb maths

[ocean robin]

[tribal warren]

Ich, Korea?

[placid heath]

Nein, PhDLuna

:D

[sleek valve]

Bergie, Math is not bumd >:

[tribal warren]

it's not

I love Math

this math test is dumb tho

[sleek valve]

all tests are dumb

[tribal warren]

nop

some math tests are challenging

and make you think

this one is basically a mechanical test, basically all you have to do is silly math that you'd normally do on a calculator, like multiplying really broken numbers

or dividing broken numbers

that doesn't require thinking

[sleek valve]

Guys, a question: how much do you pay for the internet and what do you get?

[placid heath]

Too much, too few

[ocean robin]

And I am happy with what I have.

[sleek valve]

I want numbers people, numbers.

[placid heath]

Paying for a 25 MBit connection

Receiving like 6 MBit peak

[viscid cape]

Why did bell go away

[placid heath]

Telekom = Scammers

[thick charm]

40€ for 32k of which I only get 24k

fuck unitymedia

[viscid cape]

Hello Korea

[thick charm]

they're bad people

[placid heath]

Hi Kryptik

[viscid cape]

You and Chuck confuse me <_>

[placid heath]

Alle ISPs sind schlechte Menschen

Das ist inhärent Monopolgefährdet

#VerstaatlichungDerLeitungen

[sleek valve]

That's fucked up

[placid heath]

German internet is like one of the worse in europe

[sleek valve]

what!

[placid heath]

Our chancellor once said 'The internet is new for us all'

in 2013

👌🏻 🔫

[thick charm]

she called it uncharted territory

[placid heath]

^

Didn't know a good translation for Neuland

[sleek valve]

That's stupid

[placid heath]

Yup

That's the tl;dr why german ISPs suck

[tribal warren]

I pay about 20 dollars for mine a month

[sleek valve]

I read that you get 8Mbps for 25$ a month

in Germany

[thick charm]

Is that megabytes or mbit

I can never tell

[placid heath]

That might be possible, 8 Mbit is not available where I live

well

at least not physically

You can buy it tho

:ugly_face:

[tribal warren]

I have 50Mbps Download, 30 Mbps Upload

I think

[pine ginkgo]

I have 25/10 :(

[placid heath]

Solet get a PhD in science and fix it.

[pine ginkgo]

Geh studieren junge

[sleek valve]

all numbers in Mbps?
Korea, b = bits, B = Bytes.

[placid heath]

Jetzt ist zu spät dafür

Mbit = megabit

= 10^6 bit

Mibit = 2^20 bit

[tribal warren]

not really

[placid heath]

Mbyte = 10^6 byte

[sleek valve]

not technically

[placid heath]

Mibyte = 2^20 byte

That's what I'm assuming.

Well, rather MB / MiB but i wrote byte for clarity

[tribal warren]

Good thing about living in the capital is being able to get better internet tbh

[placid heath]

Yeah

[tribal warren]

I've had very shitty internet

[sleek valve]

A Kilobyte is 1024 bytes, a megabyte is a 1024 kilobytes hence a megabyte is 1048576 bytes

[placid heath]

No, Grey

Those are Kibibytes, Mebibytes

SI-Prefixes are 10^3k

[tribal warren]

but a year ago people here at home decided that we needed better internet, so we cancelled a lot of things that were kinda useless

and got a good internet

[cold vessel]

Oh boy

[placid heath]

So Kilo is exactly 1000, Mega is exactly 1'000'000

[tribal warren]

yea

10^6

[placid heath]

Because of that, Kibi, Mebi were invented

Kibi = 2^10

Mebi = 2^20

Gibi = 2^30

you get the idea

[viscid cape]

Oh God

Just shut it ye bloody nerds

😠

[tribal warren]

haha

[ocean robin]

savage

[tribal warren]

Kryp do you have good internet?

Since you also live in SP

[sleek valve]

That was in a school book, I have to revise and search.

and by school I mean Electrical Engineering

[viscid cape]

It's sufficient for me, I just watch youtube and download books

[tribal warren]

aah

which ISP do you use?

[viscid cape]

Defunct GVT

[tribal warren]

oh LOL

GGVT

So now

Vivo Dibra, right?

[placid heath]

Another indicator for the shitty internet in germany is the case of that one company that has their data shipped on flash drives by car because it is 10 times faster than using the internet

:(

[tribal warren]

I had Vivo

[sleek valve]

WTF!!

[tribal warren]

It was very inconsistent

either really good or really bad

[viscid cape]

Yeah, it's vivo now I think

[tribal warren]

yeap

[viscid cape]

What do you use?

[tribal warren]

I've had LiveTIM for a year

they got to where I live

it's fucking awesome

[pine ginkgo]

Wir müssen uni internet anzapfen, korea

[tribal warren]

But I've had NEET, GVT, Vivo and now LiveTIM

[viscid cape]

Cool, I didn't know TIM had internet

[tribal warren]

It's the best

[viscid cape]

I doubt it's avaialble here I live though

[tribal warren]

It's very good

[placid heath]

Solet, das mach ich manchmal

Aber eduroam ist bei uns noch schlimmer

:(

[tribal warren]

I don't know, it's very limited in that aspect

I remember that I called asking them to come here like please lady on the other line

[placid heath]

Oder die drosseln das künstlich an den Uni PCs

kein plan

[tribal warren]

like a year later it was here

[viscid cape]

"Oh wow, did Berg call? Damn we gotta install it there immediately"

[tribal warren]

haha

[pine ginkgo]

Nein, ich meine das echte uni internet von den Instituten, korea :D

[placid heath]

Ahh

[tribal warren]

honestly it's the best internet I've ever had I'm very happy with it, I've never had to call support in my life

[placid heath]

Da hab ich keinen Zugriff

Bin einfacher Student

[pine ginkgo]

Noch nicht

[viscid cape]

In one year?

[tribal warren]

and the number of times it got off were like 2 or 3

yup

[viscid cape]

That's a record 😄

[placid heath]

Was meinst damit

hä

[pine ginkgo]

Bald biste ja auch bachelorarbeiter

[tribal warren]

it's very consistent too

they give what they offer

[pine ginkgo]

Bzw nächstes Semester

[placid heath]

Was ändert das daran?

[viscid cape]

Yeah if you play games that's important

[tribal warren]

Yea

[pine ginkgo]

Die geben dir zugang zu deren räumen

[tribal warren]

It's very uncommon to say that about a ISP in Brazil, right?

[pine ginkgo]

Außer die hassen dich

[viscid cape]

When I played unreal tournament some 15 years ago I had 64kbps

[sleek valve]

Was studierst du, Korea?

[placid heath]

Sicher? Bei uns ist das gerammelt voll

Die sitzen zum Teil zu zweit am Büroschreibtisch

Der offensichtlich für einen ist

[pine ginkgo]

Wow

[tribal warren]

haha
