general-2

[keen snow]

Well, it has the best university in all of the state's basically

In Boston

[hot cloak]

for example: south - guns, religion, no alcohol, american stereotypes -> bavaria of the us

[keen snow]

I would say their meme accent, but you can't really say that lol

[shy bobcat]

no alcohol

bavaria

[opal sequoia]

No alcohol in the south? 🤔

[keen snow]

There are a lot of dry counties

[opal sequoia]

I would've expected the opposite.

[keen snow]

Also, there's been an attack in Toronto and our threat level is medium. 😱

[shy bobcat]

of course what "dry county" actually means is "county that has a lot of people making beer runs to the next county over"

[keen snow]

Basically

[opal sequoia]

[hot cloak]

the "no alcohol" part was not related to bavaria

hellu base!!

[shy bobcat]

since there's no law against drinking or possessing the stuff (we tried that already didn't work!), just not selling it

[hot cloak]

ariiii, could you make some summaries about the regions plssss? ;-;

[keen snow]

Yeah Canada kept sending you beer anyway

[opal sequoia]

Hallu.

[shy bobcat]

hi base ❤

[prime remnant]

hey base

[opal sequoia]

Hii. 💙

Summary of America: all dummies.

[keen snow]

EOE

WOE

Nvm.

[shy bobcat]

😦

[keen snow]

Glad I'm not in Toronto right now.

[shy bobcat]

base i'm so nice and this is what you do 😦 ❤

[hot cloak]

kek, base is savage

whats happening in toronto?

[keen snow]

There was an attack.

Someone went full on GTA and drove into a crowd.

[sudden panther]

Summary of Soo: do my research for me.

[keen snow]

Over 20 people hurt or dead. So they've upped Canada's threat level

Which means somethings going on.

[opal sequoia]

What kind of something?

[keen snow]

Something attack level, if a guy just randomly ran into a crowd it would be an accident

But it was planned

[shy bobcat]

😦

[hot cloak]

@sudden panther i am doing my research but i cant know whats the opinion of other states now go away pls

[shy bobcat]

now go away

[keen snow]

And he purposefully chased down people

So yknow

[shy bobcat]

😮

[hot cloak]

@keen snow terrorists?

[keen snow]

Ehhh idk. People will think so.

It's the way NA works.

[hot cloak]

europe had a lot of these cases in the past months

[sudden panther]

It's the internet. If you can't find info about something you're either not looking hard enough or you're studying meme math wot nobody else does.

[keen snow]

Eh. It's generally a white person that does it tbh. Then it's just a case of "chance"

NA logic tho.

Can't really change that.

[hot cloak]

Oh that sucks D:

[shy bobcat]

😦

[hot cloak]

new york city is not the capital of the new your state

like wtf

[prime remnant]

Albany

[hot cloak]

yeah

nobody knows albany tho

[opal sequoia]

It's similar for my whole country. Everyone thinks Sydney is our capital. 🙄

At least with New York it's just a state. 😄

[hot cloak]

true base :D

[shy bobcat]

😄

[hot cloak]

on the other hand, i feel like a lot of people know Prague but not Czechia...

[opal sequoia]

What do you mean not Czechia? 🤔

[sudden panther]

I know one person who knows loads about Albany.
https://giphy.com/gifs/tylermenzel-meme-principal-skinner-3o6gDUY3B8ocAgMNhu

[hot cloak]

some people dont know czechia but when i say Prague, they are like oh yeah! i know prague!

[keen snow]

Leave

[opal sequoia]

🤔

Well maybe if you call it czechia they'll be confused.

[sudden panther]

Wow Ana, what are you, a meme hater?

[opal sequoia]

But everyone knows Czech.

[hot cloak]

even if i say czech republic

[keen snow]

I love memes

I am a meme

How can I hate myself, arrem

[sudden panther]

Good point.

[hot cloak]

someone thought prague was in croatia 🤔

[opal sequoia]

What people do you talk to that don't know Czech? 🙀

That's weird.

[hot cloak]

i dont talk to them anymore idk base

[sudden panther]

Mmmm Croatia.

[opal sequoia]

In English it's a really obvious one to remember because it sounds like check so it's weird.

[whole rapids]

how can you not know what Czech is?

[keen snow]

A lot of NA peoole don't know Europe.

[whole rapids]

it's a means of paying money

everyone knows that

[opal sequoia]

Wtf is Europe.

[whole rapids]

@keen snow educate your brethren

[keen snow]

No

[opal sequoia]

Is that the capital of England?

[sudden panther]

Man I constantly meet dumbasses who think Europe is a continent lmao.

[whole rapids]

tbh I didn't know much about East Europe until lately

[keen snow]

Arrem I will cut you

[sudden panther]

Oh no Ana, are you one of them?

[keen snow]

No

[whole rapids]

don't cut him, Ana

[keen snow]

I just wanna cut you

[whole rapids]

spoon him, and he'll bleed ketchup for you

[hot cloak]

europe is a state in west asia

Europe, located entirely in the northern hemisphere?

[keen snow]

Wtf

Spoon him?

Okay if you insist

[hot cloak]

[sudden panther]

Mmmm, steamed ketchup.

[opal sequoia]

What kind of food is an Arrem? 🤔

[hot cloak]

[keen snow]

A fruit

[sudden panther]

I am a ketchup.

[whole rapids]

sour like mathematics

[keen snow]

Stop

[hot cloak]

arrem is a mashed tomato

[nocturne frost]

^

[opal sequoia]

Mathematics is the good kind of sour though, like sour worms. 💜

[sudden panther]

Yes.

Ewww Base eats worms!!!!!!!!

[nocturne frost]

like someone just threw a tomato at a wall

[opal sequoia]

Yes, Arrem.

[nocturne frost]

because they were so frustrated w math

[opal sequoia]

Don't you have sour worms in your tragic countries?

[nocturne frost]

only haribos

[keen snow]

Yes.

[nocturne frost]

and kinder

[hot cloak]

arrem doesnt know whats good, he eats well done steaks

[nocturne frost]

^

god

suzu on point today

[opal sequoia]

Those sour bears. 😻

[keen snow]

To be fair, if arrem lives in a country with unregulated meat production well done is smart .

[sudden panther]

Yeah. The shitty feeling of not getting a disease.

[nocturne frost]

its regulated?

[keen snow]

If it was regulated by a government then he's dumb.

[nocturne frost]

surely?

[hot cloak]

he lives in austria rn

[nocturne frost]

its germany

[keen snow]

I mean in Bosnis

[nocturne frost]

lmfao

[keen snow]

Or whever

Bosnia

Idk

Idk Europe

[hot cloak]

my dad is from vn and he still does his steaks medium

[keen snow]

@sudden panther arrem I will agree with you once.

[whole rapids]

Arrem lives where the maths goes

Ana always so combative

must be all that sugar from the ketchup

[opal sequoia]

Ana always a meme.

[sudden panther]

Thanks Anord, you're a true bud.

[keen snow]

Always.

[hot cloak]

[keen snow]

I must be strong.

So I must always fight

Also I'm the best meme.

[analog citrus]

Hey guys, any natives here? Just want to ask some questions about calling a landlord for a potential room offer....

[hot cloak]

Sure

[analog citrus]

Okay So i saw this offer for a room and called the two numbers multiple times on monday

However they did not pick up and then I called the immobilien handling the WG and they said contact them again or after work

And then I tried calling around 530 in the evening and they still wouldnt pick up

I tried again yesterday but only once before I left them a text on both the numbers

[hot cloak]

I'd recommend calling the agency again and raise concerns about whether the number is actually legitimate or up to date

Oxi, is it normal for doctors (dentists in this case) to charge money for beratung? Like for emails and calls?

I'm sorry about the bot btw

[analog citrus]

Lol the bot keeps killing my messages? I thought it was a bug from Discord

Welp

[hot cloak]

Nah, you had multiple X's which triggered it. I'll read it in the mod log, hang on

I'll also get back to you soon suzu

[analog citrus]

Alright basically I just sent the text that I sent to the numbers

[hot cloak]

Did you call from a german number?

[analog citrus]

In any case, I will try calling the agency again today and ask them to maybe call the guys personally and arrange a visit. The WG i live in currently is also rented from the same agency so I dont know about that. They seem to respond quite late, particularly on email.

Yeah from my O2 number... at least I think its O2

[hot cloak]

Ok, no problem with the number. Was asking cuz some most people don’t pick up foreign numbers.

[analog citrus]

Yeah I would understand that but I call them from my handy. Maybe should try from office landline. Maybe they will respond to that

[hot cloak]

"Ich habe ein Angebot für die Zwei-Zimmerwohnung bei XXX gesehen auf der Webseite XYZ. Ich interessiere mich für die WG und möchte einen Termin vereinbaren für einen Besuch der WG. Ich bin XYZ und wohne momentan in der Nähe von XYZ"

[analog citrus]

Yeah that is pretty much the message just corrected 😃

I should note that down

[hot cloak]

yeah sure

have you tried asking the agency whether they're able to reach the landlord in question?

[analog citrus]

No I will call them today and see what they answer. My german is still terrible so I will have to prepare myself

[hot cloak]

Do you have any questions in regard to that?`

[analog citrus]

No all good. Just wanted to know if I should wait a couple of days before calling the people again or should I just try each day until they respond. I dont want to appear rude

[hot cloak]

I'd definitely try contacting the agency. It seems like something is not quite working out here

[analog citrus]

Yeah will do that. The agency sucks to be honest but finding WGs is hard. Vielen Dank 😃

[hot cloak]

Immer gern :)

[proper shale]

@hot cloak how do I work out concentration

Uhh

Like

We neutralised an acid with a Base or the other way round

And [CH3COOH ] is what I have to work out

[NaOH] = 1.000 Mol.dm^-3

My network is being retard

This is my graph with the endpoint

[nocturne frost]

I know nothing about chem but that looks really good islala

[proper shale]

Omgomg thank you heckecke! :3 I try my bestest

[nocturne frost]

It shows

[hot cloak]

Ch3cooh + naoh -> ch3coona + h2o

You can see that to neutralize 1 mol of acid you beed 1 mol of base too

So from the concentration of base and volume you calculate the amount of substance

Which is the same for both acid and base

[proper shale]

Uhhh

Wait wait

I can work out more

Mols

Is the ratio 1:1 then

[hot cloak]

c = n/v

Yes

Cuz of the equation

[proper shale]

I though NaOH is strong Base and ethanoic acid is a weak acid

Huh

Gotcha

At least I think I understand

[hot cloak]

That doesn’t matter that much in neutralization i think

Or at least not in the hs one idk lol

[proper shale]

Lel

Conversion cm^3 to dm^3 is 1000 right?

[hot cloak]

And i guess you put in some volume of acid you knew in the beginning so you can calculate concentration from that again

Yeah

[proper shale]

Ye thanks suzu

[fair iron]

Yes, Isla.

[proper shale]

I think I know what I gotta do

[hot cloak]

You’re welcome ^^

[proper shale]

Okay so just checking

Okay so just checking

20cm^3 = 0.002 dm^3

My Internet connection is shit rip

[hot cloak]

0.02

[fair iron]

^

[proper shale]

Huh

[hot cloak]

20/1000

[proper shale]

I can't do maths apparently

Ye

[fair iron]

I always found working in metres to be best.

[hot cloak]

liters are used more often in chemistry tho :c or at least for small amounts

[proper shale]

Everything for us has to be dm-3

[hot cloak]

It’s often more convenient to use cm-3 tho

Since concentrations are in g/cm-3 and molecular mass in g/mole

[proper shale]

Concentrations for us are in mol.dm^3

[hot cloak]

Oh icic

[proper shale]

Idk if this is right

I think ethanoic acid is supposed to be 1mol.dm^-3

So

Idk what I did

[hot cloak]

No idea

Could also be that the measurements aren’t precise

Hmmm tho 3cm-3 would be quite a lot i guess

How did you get 16.8?

[opal sequoia]

I don't get it... Is it not a ratio between two things that are dm^3?

[hot cloak]

Don’t get what?

[opal sequoia]

Like I said, is it meant to be a ratio of two things that are the same unit?

[hot cloak]

“It” is what?

[opal sequoia]

The equation in blue.

[hot cloak]

No, it’s amount of mass divided by volume

One concentration is 1 so isla skipped the step i guess

@proper shale now that i look again, the concentration can’t be 1 since the volunes are diff

[opal sequoia]

Ahh, I see.

I was like wtf, where does mol/dm^3 come from? 😄

[hot cloak]

Yeah, the notes are indeed confusing :D

[proper shale]

Ye

Is the calculation correct tho

It's possible they're a bit off since its school

On the practical sheet it says its supposed to be 1 heh

[hot cloak]

The way you wrote the calculations is incorrect but you calculated it correctly

[proper shale]

Nice

How should've I written it

[hot cloak]

The volume of base would have to be 20 too for the conc to be 1

1 - acid
2 - base
.....
n1=n2
c1*v1=c2*v2
c1=c2*v2/v1
c1= 1*16.8/20
c1=0.83 mol/dm-3

This way you don’t even have to convert the volumes cuz they cancel each other out

[proper shale]

Aah that makes sense

Thanks suzu!!

[hot cloak]

You’re welcome ^^

[fair iron]

@crisp tree Change your name immediately.

[crisp tree]

from my Panzerdivision stuff?

[fair iron]

Yes.

[crisp tree]

is it offensive?

[fair iron]

It's inappropriate.

[crisp tree]

umm... very well then. I was just researching them because of history

what should it be?

[fair iron]

Whatever you wish, so long as it's fine. ^^

[crisp tree]

and not referring to German history?

[fair iron]

Depends on the history.

[crisp tree]

i am talkin WW2

[fair iron]

Probably best to avoid that.

I can't decide the name for you.

[north lava]

just use casca 2 lol

[fair iron]

Please don't.

[crisp tree]

haha hold on i will change it

do i need to change my pic too?

i changed my name

@fair iron

[fair iron]

Yes, change the image. The motto of the SS is definitely inappropriate.

[crisp tree]

okay fine

[fair iron]

Thanks.

[crisp tree]

yea i am just reading a book called "Soldat" and it's pretty amazing

hope i didn't offend you

although my name isn't Tanko

[fair iron]

I assumed as much. ^^

You didn't offend me, though the subject nature might have created a bad impression.

[keen snow]

He is going to arrest you.

[crisp tree]

Ah okay @fair iron I am sorry

Do... i get my original name back?

instead of Tanko?

@fair iron

[fair iron]

What original name?

I don't understand the question.

[crisp tree]

Somebody changed my name in here to "Tanko McTankface" I didn't call myself that

okay....

nvm

[fair iron]

Oh.

It wasn't me.

[crisp tree]

That's fine i guess

it's back to normal

Thank you whoever you are!

[fair iron]

Nicknames can be changed.

[crisp tree]

Yes i know

i do it in my own server

[fair iron]

A moderator added and removed the nickname.

[hot cloak]

who?

👀

[sudden panther]

🙋

[crisp tree]

Eh i don't really care, it's not a big deal. My name was inappropriate and frankly I thank them cuz i don't want to offend anyone

[hot cloak]

i suspected as much

[crisp tree]

I did as well

[hot cloak]

huh how did you know it was arrem?

[crisp tree]

dunno lol

just seemed like it

[hot cloak]

@dusky vessel Bitte schön: https://germanlearningresources.blogspot.de/2018/01/word-order-simple-sentence-in-detail.html

[dusky vessel]

das war exzellent

[sudden panther]

Ugh probably the worst blog ever. I want to shoot the guy who does it.

[thorn trail]

:-<

[dusky vessel]

@whole rapids anstatt von vorerst ich kann nur tippen, weil ich einen Wörterbuch brauche zu die Sätze machen, ich hätte sagen sollen: vorerst kann ich nur tippen, weil ich einen Wörterbuch zu die Sätze machen brauche ?

[whole rapids]

wenn wir nur auf die Grammatik konzentrieren, dann (fast) ja

Ich würde deinen Satz so umformulieren: Vorerst kann ich nur tippen, weil ich ein Wörterbuch brauche, um Sätze zu bilden. @dusky vessel

[hot cloak]

are these supposed to be incorrect?

@whole rapids

[dusky vessel]

ah so ja das ist ganz besser, vielen dank

[hot cloak]

Die Frau gibt dem Mann das Buch
Die Frau gibt das Buch dem Mann
Das Buch gibt der Mann der Frau
Das Buch gibt die Frau dem Mann

[gaunt flare]

@hot cloak it looks to me like they're just trying to show how changing the order can change the emphasis

[hot cloak]

yes but they're not declined properly

[whole rapids]

typos fukkk

[hot cloak]

unless I misunderstood something these would be incorrect

[whole rapids]

my brain must have subconsciously corrected them

[hot cloak]

Just wanted to let you know ❤

[whole rapids]

thanks dude

[hot cloak]

anytime

[dusky vessel]

German is beautiful

very elegant this case business 😄

[whole rapids]

@hot cloak wait no, they're as intended, but I suppose I should clarify that some of them are potentially confusing (the ones where the subject of der Mann jumps around).

[hot cloak]

so they're supposed to be incorrect?

[gaunt flare]

I thought so.. they look right to me

[whole rapids]

they're not supposed to show "neutral" word order, no

they're to demonstrate how cases are more important than word order

[gaunt flare]

I figured that's why der Mann is always bolded and der Frau italicized

[whole rapids]

(to a degree)

[hot cloak]

oh my bad. This is just very confusing for a native lol

[whole rapids]

I figured; I think I will clarify this part when I revise this article

clearly even I got confused just from looking at the screenshot

and I made it

[gaunt flare]

lol

[whole rapids]

@hot cloak thanks anyway ❤

[gaunt flare]

Just reading the article - in context it makes sense. You could be a bit more clear about 'them all meaning the same thing'. Perhaps just that "In every case below, the man is giving the book to the woman"

[whole rapids]

yeah, that's a fair suggestion

my main intention was to indicate which of the formulations are typical and which are unusual, mainly those which move the subject away from the verb

because I don't really know who will stumble across this and then start to place subjects at the end under the mistaken belief that it's normal (although I do explain it's not somewhere else)

[gaunt flare]

yeah, I get it. This isn't the first time I've seen a native german confused when an english speaker is trying to explain this concept. I explained it how I understood it to my girlfriend as well a as a tutor, and they both looked very confused. I think learners just think about it differently.

[hot cloak]

Yeah, I initially misinterpreted the sentence you just discussed and thought he was only referring to the actual word order

[whole rapids]

yeah, I getcha

@gaunt flare to be fair, most natives don't really understand the intricaces of their own language, although the ones on this server tend to be more interested in it

but I know what you mean, my girlfriend pretty much gets stressed now when I ask her grammar questions because they're no longer easy ones

[gaunt flare]

Totally. I think that's why it's so interesting. I'm sure people learn English concepts in a way that we don't pick up on as well.

[whole rapids]

probably

it'd be interesting to pick up an English textbook in German and see how it's taught

[gaunt flare]

my head hurts just thinking about that

[whole rapids]

I think I could explain most English stuff but some of it I don't even notice or didn't until recently

like the difference between "those" and "these" lol

[shy anchor]

Really?

Those and these are pretty distinct

But maybe that’s because I’m a native

Oh wow I didn’t realize this was in general 2 lol

[whole rapids]

@shy anchor I meant mostly becoming aware of this fact. I instinctively knew they were different but it would have been difficult for me to explain exactly why.

[hot cloak]

Pferdo is an eng native too

[whole rapids]

No I am not

[hot cloak]

Ok, i guess scottish is a diff language

[whole rapids]

No, I am passive native

[hot cloak]

Wot

[whole rapids]

I have been heard by you

[astral elm]

now my ears because of ana meming

js is java

danny you just made a grammatical mistake

[heady osprey]

I barely speak english anymore so I am not suprised

[astral elm]

UK and US rules are much different in some ways, but there aren't a lot of things you can say about one being "dumber" than the other

[heady osprey]

the ed ending

[astral elm]

which rules are you referring to and why?

[heady osprey]

How learned in US english can be said two different ways

and in UK english you use learnt in certain cases

instead of just pronouncing it differently

[astral elm]

I personally say learnt, not learned

[heady osprey]

I do as well

[shy bobcat]

the US distinguishes "got" and "gotten"

the UK doesn't

😄

[astral elm]

doesn't*

good ari

[heady osprey]

that makes sense

[astral elm]

c:

[shy bobcat]

thx i forgot it wasn't "united kingdoms"

[wicked sandal]

i dont now what you mean ari

[shy bobcat]

😛

[heady osprey]

Why do we need two different forms of the same thing

[wicked sandal]

it might just be that im in a very rural and slang place

but

[shy bobcat]

@wicked sandal I got sick vs. I have gotten sick.

[keen snow]

I actually didnt start the JS is Java meme.

[shy bobcat]

The Brits would say "I have got sick"

[wicked sandal]

we use double negatives and we always use got

[keen snow]

Full credit goes to Kelsey for that one.

[heady osprey]

I have got sick makes more sense imo

[wicked sandal]

i got sick

[astral elm]

was it kelsey?

[keen snow]

No it doesnt.

[astral elm]

then kelsey

she caused my ears to bleed

[keen snow]

I have gotten sick.

[heady osprey]

and btw

UK english

[shy bobcat]

@heady osprey alright so when the uk has two different forms it's good and when the us has two different forms it's bad

👀

[heady osprey]

you can say both

[wicked sandal]

yin's got any a' dem' tater' chips left?

[astral elm]

I've gotten sick, I've got a bit of a cold

[keen snow]

I mean, it is dialect.

Both are fine.

[astral elm]

^^

[heady osprey]

in UK you can say both but in US you cant is the thing

[wicked sandal]

im starvin'

[astral elm]

you can definitely say both in the US

[wicked sandal]

maybe formally

[heady osprey]

Grammaticly it is wrong for bs reasons

[wicked sandal]

round these parts

[keen snow]

In Canada you can say both.

[wicked sandal]

nah

[shy bobcat]

yeah i was just speaking from "general standard american and uk english"

[astral elm]

it isn't grammatically wrong

[wicked sandal]

yeah

[astral elm]

what

[shy bobcat]

idk about dialects within the two

[wicked sandal]

i get you

[heady osprey]

Yeah I am fine in general speaking

But as far as grammatical rules it is stupid how we cant use both like UK english can

[astral elm]

we can?

[wicked sandal]

i will say that i live in a VERY rural area in Pennsylvania

[heady osprey]

You will be marked wrong on reports if you use learnt

[wicked sandal]

and we have LOTS of amish, and LOTS of pennsylvania dutch speakers

[astral elm]

i've never been marked wrong on reports for that?

[heady osprey]

I live in northern maryland

[wicked sandal]

yo dude we close

[astral elm]

i live in mid-florida

[shy bobcat]

@heady osprey just switch fully over to UK spelling and if someone asks, say you're from canada

[wicked sandal]

danny

[shy bobcat]

[keen snow]

Education changes in the states.

[heady osprey]

I was always marked wrong in all of my years of schooling since I use UK english

[keen snow]

By state.

[wicked sandal]

you know somerset county my dude?

[keen snow]

They have different standards.

[astral elm]

[heady osprey]

and they said you cant just switch between two languages

and i was like

tf

[keen snow]

So saying ALL of America does something isn't really correct.

[heady osprey]

That isnt what I said omg

[keen snow]

No n.

Not you.

[wicked sandal]

yeah, welcome to amish world

[keen snow]

Calm down my dude.

[heady osprey]

triggrd

[astral elm]

oh god

yeah ana you are right there

[heady osprey]

really

reeee is blocked

[keen snow]

It isnt.

[heady osprey]

thats stupid

[astral elm]

spam is blocked

[keen snow]

You triggered the spam filter.

REEEE

See.

[heady osprey]

IAODNAOWNÄD

[keen snow]

Again, spam.

[wicked sandal]

ahhah

[shy bobcat]

i don't even like american english, but it's not like it's objectively inferior to the other englishes

[keen snow]

You fooks.

[heady osprey]

HOW IS THAT NOT SPAM

[astral elm]

ASLDKFJASLDKFJASLKFJASDLKFJASLDKFJASLDFKASLFKJASDLFKJASDLFKJ

[keen snow]

Cause it is less letters.

[astral elm]

this works

[heady osprey]

WTF

[wicked sandal]

pfff

[keen snow]

You will get yourself muted.

[heady osprey]

awändwaädniwaäodnwaädnwadänwad

[astral elm]

because of no repeating letters

[heady osprey]

that isnt spam

ok

[keen snow]

It is continus letters.

So the same thing over and over.

[astral elm]

^^

[heady osprey]

ok

[keen snow]

Youre going to get muted

lel.

[wicked sandal]

[heady osprey]

no u

[wicked sandal]

oof

[keen snow]

👏

[wicked sandal]

ouchie

[keen snow]

Got em

[astral elm]

but yeah

[wicked sandal]

inhales

so anyone wanna buy my chair?

399?

[keen snow]

id rather sit on a free box

[astral elm]

it varies by state in america, but either way the education system doesn't technically define correct grammar rules

[wicked sandal]

(please someone get my reference)

[keen snow]

I mean, they do when teaching.

They gotta.

[wicked sandal]

(please)

[shy bobcat]

tbqh i just suck it up and use american spelling for school stuff just in case

[keen snow]

It cant just be RANDOM rules.

[shy bobcat]

but otherwise? naw

[keen snow]

Even we learn the rules, it is up to you then to change them based on what you want.

[astral elm]

ana i mean that they don't define all of them and what they say isn't law

[keen snow]

Well, not outside of school of course.

But in school just follow their rules.

[heady osprey]

by law the US doesnt speak english soooo

rip

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[keen snow]

You're right, they are all mute.

[heady osprey]

Lol

[astral elm]

what

[shy bobcat]

"by law" there is nothing on the matter

[heady osprey]

I mean that in our constitution we have no official language

[keen snow]

Neither does Canada.

But we have a native language.

Lol.

[heady osprey]

Pmuch all other countries do

[keen snow]

We have 2.

Actually.

[astral elm]

in our constitution we do actually have a de facto national language danny

english is our national language

[shy bobcat]

@heady osprey english is de facto the national language of the us

[astral elm]

kek ari

same time

law bros

not brows

my eyebrows are not made of laws

[keen snow]

You are a unibrow

[wicked sandal]

we all speak sign language

[keen snow]

^

Mute America.

I'd prefer it.

[wicked sandal]

yeah

[keen snow]

😛

[astral elm]

me too ana

[wicked sandal]

politics would be so much more tame

[astral elm]

too much hate going on

if we were all mute it would be better

[wicked sandal]

imagine all of the protests, but just sign language

total silence

[keen snow]

Zara Larsson is hot.

[wicked sandal]

where the HELL did that come from

?

[astral elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3f9XP2ToB8

[keen snow]

The music video Im watching

[wicked sandal]

oh

[heady osprey]

https://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_lang.html

[keen snow]

english is de facto the national language of the us

[heady osprey]

Yeah

by 2025 it is projected to be spanish lol

[keen snow]

You can have two.

[heady osprey]

I would prefer that english suxxxx

[keen snow]

Lol.

[astral elm]

no, it is actually the official language

[heady osprey]

no it is not

[keen snow]

Canada has English and French.

[heady osprey]

Yes

But both of us have no official language

we have majorly spoken languages yes

[keen snow]

We do.

[wicked sandal]

is the word order or whatever in french the same as english?

like

[keen snow]

We have national languages lol

[heady osprey]

By law we do not

[keen snow]

No.

[wicked sandal]

s v o?

[keen snow]

Well.

[shy bobcat]

I don't think that spanish is gonna become the de facto language of the us any time soon

[keen snow]

Yeah.

[shy bobcat]

that'd mean the government etc. operate in spanish

and well

[keen snow]

French is tricky tbf.

[heady osprey]

I know that we speak english I am not fucking stupid

[wicked sandal]

hm

[heady osprey]

I am just saying

By law we have none

[keen snow]

But Canada does have set language.

Danny, why are you so aggressive bud.

Just some good ol' language discussion

[heady osprey]

Whatever

[wicked sandal]

agressiv?

right?

in german?

[keen snow]

AYEEEEEE.

I like you.

[astral elm]

back

[wicked sandal]

like

das ist aggressiv?

is that right?

[astral elm]

in 2006 there was an amendment put in place that recognized english as the official language of the US

[keen snow]

Do you use DeeL, Narc?

[wicked sandal]

no

[keen snow]

DeepL*

[wicked sandal]

what is that

[keen snow]

Try it out, it is really useful.

[astral elm]

BUT

[keen snow]

100x better than google translate.

[astral elm]

the thing is

after it

[keen snow]

Really helps with finding words. Dict is also great.

[heady osprey]

I use leo https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/

I find it p helpful

[astral elm]

the senate put into play an amendment that said english is now only the "common unifying language"

[wicked sandal]

okee

copied

[heady osprey]

that conversation already ended

[keen snow]

Up to you, but if you want to translate your sentence

[wicked sandal]

to clipboardorino

[keen snow]

please use deepl

[heady osprey]

yeah

leo is just a dictionary

[keen snow]

translate is fookin

shauty

[heady osprey]

gtranslate is ew

[wicked sandal]

garbagio

only works for like

one word shit

just to make sure your right

[keen snow]

Even then.

[heady osprey]

and sometimes not even that tbh

[wicked sandal]

yeah

[keen snow]

It doesnt really work

[heady osprey]

it is really good for translating other languages into english imo

But other then that

no

[wicked sandal]

like, today for some reason i was really frusturated i forgot what "cake" was

[keen snow]

Even sometimes in English.

it is like

[wicked sandal]

and that worked

[keen snow]

"okay google"

[heady osprey]

You cant expect it to be perfect lol

[keen snow]

DeepL is pretty damn close.

[wicked sandal]

ill take yer word for it

[keen snow]

Thanks bud.

[frail yew]

I want to move to Germany and be a forklift driver, I've heard good things about German forklift drivers

[hot cloak]

What kind of forklift do you wanna drive

[nocturne frost]

I'm actually not sure if this is a shitpost

[frail yew]

I watched a documentary about German forklifts

[sudden panther]

I bet it was this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCGgPuD6qFI

[frail yew]

Yep

[sudden panther]

And there's your answer lads, he's a meme.

[opal sequoia]

I'll show you guys some nice pics I took on Friday in the city.

[nocturne frost]

Pretty baseo

[proper shale]

!!! pretty!!!

[hot cloak]

Ooh it's Melbourne

[hot cloak]

@twilit garden hey nemo, i'd like to ask about chemistry - could you please tell me a bit or link me to some nice page with basic info about complex ion equilibrium? i tried googling it but i only saw some formulas and didnt really get it D:

[twilit garden]

what exactly do you mean - what complexes are or which ones are preferred or...?

[hot cloak]

equilibrium of coordination complexes

im not sure if i translated it correctly but complex ion equilibrium was the only english term that came up

[twilit garden]

i know the term and what it means, i just don't know what you want to know about it - equilibrium constants? Solubility?

Equilibrium is a state of a reaction - the state a reaction tends to go towards at constant conditions.

https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/acid-base-equilibrium/copy-of-solubility-equilibria-mcat/v/solubility-and-complex-ion-formation

try searching for Complex Formation

https://chem.libretexts.org/Textbook_Maps/General_Chemistry_Textbook_Maps/Map%3A_Chemistry_(Averill_and_Eldredge)/17%3A_Solubility_and_Complexation_Equilibria/17.3%3A_The_Formation_of_Complex_Ions

[hot cloak]

actually, i only have this term and i dont even know what i should know, im really confused about this, sorry and thanks a bunch for the link!

[twilit garden]

i think they were just referring to "what complexes are, what their features are and how they behave"

that last link seems to be pretty decent at explaining that though

[hot cloak]

coordination complexes are a separate topic from equilibriums tho ;-;

[twilit garden]

well yes, the term equilibrium is applicable to any kind of reaction that is reversible

oh, i found something fitting the term you were looking for:
https://chem.libretexts.org/Core/Inorganic_Chemistry/Coordination_Chemistry/Complex_Ion_Equilibria/Complex-Ion_Equilibria

[hot cloak]

another question - i feel like all the constants derived from the equilibrium constant are the same, just with different names - is my feeling right or do i confuse them?

[twilit garden]

they all refer to a reaction with/in an equilibrium, but there are several kinds of reversible reactions. Acid-base-reactions always have some sort of H+/OH- transfer, Complex formations always have some ligands attaching to a metal cation, and so on. The underlying principle is the same, yes - the ratio of products to educts at the point of equilibrium - but the kind of reaction is different.

[hot cloak]

Thanks for the explanation and the links, nemo!! they were super helpful ❤

[twilit garden]

I will have to do a lot of titrations in the next three weeks so revising this actually helps me too ^^

[hot cloak]

ah titration is the worst part of labs for me... :D

[twilit garden]

yeah it's super boring for an hour and then suddenly you have to be really careful

[keen snow]

I hate titrations.

[hot cloak]

exactly nemo!

[hot cloak]

i just let the liquids flow freely for the first try to know where approximately the color changes :D

i hate titr?

[sudden panther]

Damn Nemo, where did you learn so much about Chemistry.

[keen snow]

Excuse me.

I have been slandered.

[twilit garden]

i picked it up listening to my meth-dealer

[hot cloak]

i bet he just memed daily on a chem discord server

[twilit garden]

also it helps having dropped out of uni

[keen snow]

Nemo are you Walter White?

[sudden panther]

Ah great guy. Teaches you meth and chemistry.

wdym dropped out

[twilit garden]

https://giphy.com/gifs/breakingbad-breaking-bad-walter-white-3oFzm9r8nz1CmqYtmU

well, i stopped going to uni

it's not like i failed an exam or anything

i just didn't want to become a teacher anymore

[keen snow]

I was going to say why did you waste all that money going to school, but you're in Germany.

Becoming a teacher is expensive.

[sudden panther]

Oh you mean the teacher thing, not your current thing.

[twilit garden]

i guess "dropping out" sounds like i failed a test 😅

nono, i started my current thing in october

[sudden panther]

Yeah, but dropping out of uni helps made it sound like you dropped out of that.

[keen snow]

Drop out of uni and I shoot your dog.

[hot cloak]

what kinda teacher?

[twilit garden]

chemistry and history at Gymnasium

[hot cloak]

wow thats an unusual combination

[twilit garden]

turns out i don't want to be around children all the time

[hot cloak]

hahaha

same

[keen snow]

No one actually does

[twilit garden]

the most frequent combination for my chemistry pals was chemistry and sports

idk why

[hot cloak]

wut

[sudden panther]

You should all be teachers in France. I heard the ed sys is great.

[keen snow]

Why do you guys call it Gymnasium?

[nocturne frost]

all the sport

[hot cloak]

there are no chem teachers in france

[twilit garden]

because we're naked and do sports

[hot cloak]

^^^^

[twilit garden]

there are no chem teachers in Germany either, which is why it's a good idea to become a chemistry teacher

[keen snow]

I always think youre all going to the gym to do sports.

[hot cloak]

no, nemo, i meant it literally

[keen snow]

???

[hot cloak]

cuz they call chemistry physics

[twilit garden]

kills himself

[hot cloak]

kek

[twilit garden]

brb shooting France

[nocturne frost]

lets not make suicide jokes

[twilit garden]

probably shouldn't say that too loud

[nocturne frost]

especially as a mod where it can encourage people to think its alright

[twilit garden]

how come hecke has the moral highground

[keen snow]

Cause she is right

[twilit garden]

this is unnatural

well

[nocturne frost]

because its a fucked up thing to do pal

[twilit garden]

not if you're depressed

[nocturne frost]

.

somehow you dug your hole even deeper

[twilit garden]

let's just change the topic, i don't want to go into it rn

[nocturne frost]

yes, lets

[twilit garden]

it's just weird that they call it that

[hot cloak]

they not only call it like that, they make no difference between physics and chemistry

[twilit garden]

although there are a lot of schools here that only have "natural sciences" as a subject and just alternate the topics

[sudden panther]

Ok new topic, if a mod does math will it encourage other people to do math?

[hot cloak]

no

[keen snow]

Yes.

[astral elm]

chimiothérapie came up as a suggestion when i tried to translate chemestry

[nocturne frost]

Yes

[astral elm]

[keen snow]

if I didnt join here I would never do math

tbh

[twilit garden]

i did math just a few hours ago and i actually wanted to do some more rn

[hot cloak]

i do maff independently on others

[astral elm]

i do no maff

i finished maffs for my grade

[sudden panther]

That's why you aren't banned Anord.

[keen snow]

I like math.

15 year old kid me would be stabbing me rn.

[astral elm]

but i'm severely behind on bio and phys

[keen snow]

Phys is math.

[astral elm]

so i need to learn thos

yes

phys is applied math

[keen snow]

So you do math

[astral elm]

SHIT

[hot cloak]

everything is just applied maffs

[astral elm]

you're right

[keen snow]

Even my minor isnt just clalled math

[astral elm]

even programing

[keen snow]

It is Applied Mathematics

[astral elm]

programming <-- computers <-- 0s and 1s with mathematic operations <-- MATH

[sudden panther]

Imagine how cool computers would be if they had 0, 1 and 2 instead of just lame old 0 and 1.

[astral elm]

well 0 and 1 is on and off

so what would 2 be

middle?

[keen snow]

He doesnt know.

[astral elm]

half off?

[keen snow]

He studies plants.

[astral elm]

buy one get one free?

[keen snow]

Bachelors of Science: Botany

[astral elm]

arrem

since you're a botanist

plz tell me how to make medicine from plants

[sudden panther]

I don't care what 2 would be, but it would allow computers to have more number things and you'd get better games and things.

[keen snow]

He doesnt do that.

He grows them.

Like, Wien has a huge green house.

He studies in there.

[astral elm]

ohhh that kinda botany

what the fuck

[keen snow]

Yeah dude.

[astral elm]

every time i switch to a new window windows 7 switches keyboard

help

@sudden panther that shit is cool as fuck and if you find out how to make the earth greener and more colorful i will lidrolly love you forever

[sudden panther]

Why are you still on windows 7, windows 10 is like 3 more than windows 7.

[astral elm]

because my uncle gave me this laptop and it has windows 7

[keen snow]

Uninstall Windows.

It will run faster.

[astral elm]

uninstall your face

[keen snow]

More space.

[astral elm]

that meme is so incorrect i can't overmeme it

[sudden panther]

Funny because I always hear computer geeks talking about Lunix. Why aren't you using that?

[astral elm]

shit

oh

because i don't wanna load up a live disk right now

and i like to play games

[keen snow]

Ubuntu.

That is what you want.

[astral elm]

seeing as i'm not a professional yet i don't want to fully commit

[keen snow]

Why play games when you can code.

[astral elm]

no

debian

[keen snow]

Discord and coding or bust.

[astral elm]

not ubuntu

[keen snow]

:v)

[wicked sandal]

just uninstall the tarded monkey in your pc

duh

[keen snow]

Have you tried turning your PC on and off again.

[wicked sandal]

blink 3 times and say the magic words

[astral elm]

ubuntu studio is pretty good but debian is perfect, i'm also more used to .deb packaging than anything else at this point

all linux machines i've had have been debian for years

[keen snow]

I like Ubuntu, personally.

[wicked sandal]

"hooba dooba i like booba"

[keen snow]

^

[astral elm]

ubuntu is nice graphically

[keen snow]

Excuse me, are you a hacker?

[astral elm]

honestly it is

it's the perfect blend between functionality and aesthetics

[keen snow]

I ran it on my old computer I built.

This one is just windows. 🤷

[astral elm]

if you want a really pretty linux os though, you should get ElementaryOS

[keen snow]

I like pretty things.

[astral elm]

me too

i used it when i was taking a break from programming and still wanted to use linux
