I have never had that many -_-

DroidDev

@Shadowfax I hope you don't mind us

JoErNanO

@ShadowWizard Excellent.

Actually I meant @Shadowfax

Shadowfax

@DroidDev I don't mind, but I am thinking of leaving this room coz the fun here is too much for me to take :(

JoErNanO

To hell with @ShadowWizard :)

Shadowfax

One question: how long have you been PAing one another in this chat room?

JoErNanO

1:15 PM

Me less than a week. The others I'm guessing since its creation.

Ask @IͶΔ he'll know.

IͶΔ

Actually, it just has been trending again only recently.

DroidDev

@Shadowfax since the very beginning.

Shadowfax

@DroidDev when was the beginning?

it is not the beginning of the world surely

:D

DroidDev

@Shadowfax lol no, around year and a half

Shadowfax

I see this in info first message 2014-04-10

The creator was surely one @Sha

Clemens Himmer

1:19 PM

hello den

also hello @Shadowfax .. fax?

IͶΔ

@ClemensHimmer Impostor. @Sha himself is pale on the top corner of the chat.

@ClemensHimmer \o

Clemens Himmer

i am of very confused @Shadowfax @ShadowWizard @ShadowofTheShadow :OOOOOOO

Sha Overflow

Shadowfax

Hello @Clemens

I am currently looking for a character that looks like 'h' but not an 'h', or looks like an 'a' but is not an 'a'. Can anyone help me?

@ShadowWizard gave one 'ᔕ'.

Who's flipper here?

Whom people tell to flip something. Like flip this, flip that.

IͶΔ

@Shadowfax Yes.

A moment

@Shadowfax α

@Shadowfax If you're looking for something cool, try ђ.

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ thanks a lot!

@IͶΔ thanks for both of them!! :)

IͶΔ

1:34 PM

@Shadowfax If you're looking for something that looks a lot like h, try "ԧ".

Shadowfax

the last one came here like a box "ԧ"

@IͶΔ python is calling it "'CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SHHA WITH DESCENDER'"

Is that what that box is ?

IͶΔ

Yes.

Small letter @Sha

@Shadowf ^

Hey wait, what about this? Һ

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ but it is showing here like a box

IͶΔ

Darn

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ that h like thing, that's even cooler

IͶΔ

1:38 PM

OK then, I'm happy if you're happy. :)

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ happy :)

@IͶΔ where can I get more of those?

@IͶΔ can you please give me a link or something?

IͶΔ

@Shadowfax Hmm, I have a whole set of Unicode chars. Maybe you can find them on the Net.

Search for "list of Unicode chars" or something like that.

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ I could do that. But I still have to manually search for them from the page. I was looking for something that will give me unicodes similar to alphabets directly

But still, thanks for your help!

IͶΔ

@Shadowfax That's called a pair of eyes.

I go through a list of them and find stuff I need directly.

No special tools.

Though I dunno if such exist.

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ I get it.

IͶΔ

1:43 PM

You usually find interesting things in Greek, Roman, Mathematical or Cyrillic letters.

My second character is Cyrillic.

Shadowfax

@IͶΔ how does your second character show on your computer? Here it is showing like a square box.

JoErNanO

@Shadowfax It'll depend on the browser.

Shadowfax

That's how it is showing here.

@JoErNanO I am using chrome 48

@JoErNanO how do you see that?

JoErNanO

@Shadowfax ^^

Shadowfax

@JoErNanO o:O

JoErNanO

1:50 PM

Dammit I forgot to turn off the beep.

Feels like x-files

Shadowfax

@JoErNanO really?

I will try then!

JoErNanO

I'm on iceweasel (firefox) 38.7.0

@Shadowfax What do you mean?

Shadowfax

@JoErNanO that sound thing you said.

x-files

@JoErNanO did they change the sounds?

JoErNanO

Do you hear the beep @Shadowfax ?

Shadowfax

@JoErNanO yes I heard it!

It really is creepy!

JoErNanO

1:54 PM

Top right there's a loudspeaker icon. Click on it and mute it using the drop-down menu that shows up.

That's my default action on chat. Or else I get freaked out every time.

Shadowfax

@JoErNanO you know what, I am going to keep that on for some time :)

JoErNanO

@Shadowfax You're welcome. :D

Shadow Wizard

@JoErNanO no, it flows all over yourself. Don't try it unless you're PeeDucated.

@Sнаđошƒаӽ admin you can try but it's pointless as you won't be able to do anything, messing with WAG commands might break things in the game.

@ShadowofTheShadow are you sock?

Ah oh!

Shadow Wizard

@Sнаđошƒаӽ you mean this?

Sнаđошƒаӽ

yeah, that @ShadowWizard

Why is that so?

JoErNanO

@Shadowfax I'ts because @ShadowWizard has multiple personality disorders. Mind you, even the disorders are multiple.

Sнаđошƒаӽ

I thought you were summoning sock to check this

@JoErNanO ha ha

Shadow Wizard

If so then first, you have a really small screen and second, it's a chat feature - when a user posts more than one message in a row (that is, nobody else posted afterwards) then full details are shown and the container div has more height.

For single message, there's no height defined, so no vertical overflow.

@Sнаđошƒаӽ thought at first you mean in the auto complete, since I have big screen I don't see what you see unless resizing the screen.

I see my full name always. :D

Q: Can "immortal" be used to describe someone that lives forever, yet can be destroyed?

I am aware of the dictionary definition of the word "immortal": (source) Or in words: living forever; never dying or decaying However, that does not directly imply "can't be destroyed", as far as I can see. My logic (which might be wrong!) tells me that someone might live forever by ...

@Sha there are few times when I'm in the mood of posting something. Even fewer times when I'm in the mood of posting something when there's already an answer.

Today is not one of those times.

@Sha the real answer to your question lies behind the fact that history tended to have only one meaning for death: Death by senescence

Please persuade me into writing up an answer! PLEEEEEEASE

Sнаđошƒаӽ

Death by "senescence"? @IͶΔ

IͶΔ

Yes.

Death by old age.

i.e. a natural process no human can run away from.

Why don't you come to ELL's chats?

I just found this gr8 (well, not very great) workaround. . Didn't try it yet, but looks like it may work.

Pure genius.

@JoErNanO wow, so long ago.... was sure it all started much more recently. Googled, and found it got its own Wiki.

@JoErNanO LOL, should be migrated to LH!

@Sнаđошƒаӽ Thanks! :)

The framework that Shadow Wizard mentioned, is called "ChatExchange", if you'd like to use it as well: github.com/Manishearth/ChatExchange . This one is a Python 2 framework, but it also has been ported to supporting both Py2 and Py3: github.com/ByteCommander/ChatExchange6

@ShadowWizard What are the "fun" commands? If you're talking about >>flip, that is already separated from the WAG module; it's a part of the builtins.

@ShadowWizard Prepositions are hard. I have no idea.

@ShadowWizard Oh, it's just you humans that need to pay more attention :P

@IͶΔ No problem! Enjoy the powers :p

@ShadowWizard I stopped clearing them a few months ago. Currently we're at more than 12k notifications.
