<eligrey> ec\_: you should restructure #elliottcable as a book cult instead of a programming cult
<eligrey> that would maximize its usefulness to myself
<pikajude> or an indianapolis cult
<eligrey> and by restructure i mean change the topic
<eligrey> audible's doing a 99¢/mo for 3 months promotion. i've re-subbed to audible so what 3 books should i get?
<eligrey> i'll read anything except historic non-fiction
<eligrey> anything *good*
<gkatsev> does it have the powder mage series?
<ja> mkroman: NASA Structural Analysis System, jeez
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hi, all
<ELLIOTTCABLE> mkroman: what *is* that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -russfrank
<purr> ELLIOTTCABLE: a russfrank is a russfrank because circular logic works because circular logic works because the first rule of the tautology club is the first rule of the tautology club.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> |=
<ja> yeah, mkroman: what *is* that, *really*?
<ja> hi ELLIOTTCABLE
<ja> ELLIOTTCABLE: wen r u cumin 2 da eu m8
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol you kidding? no
<purr> lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I find almost none of europe interesting; and even the parts I do, the language barrier is just too much
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'll probably visit Britain at some point, but … I think I'm far more likely to do any language-incompatible traveling to, say, China, Japan, Hong Kong, or something
<ja> u're comin no? dats long elliott pls
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you know, countries with a future, and relevance on the global stage.
<ja> Denmark is very upbuttered-american-english–compatible, ELLIOTTCABLE
<ja> And we have a huge global-stage-scale-grade future, you know, because LEGO.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still terrifying for me. I prefer my sheltered American shithole.
<ja> And because we have those aggluglianative shdalsfksglw words y’know like the germans
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (IKEA? or is that Sweden?)
<ja> Aw man
<ja> Are you afraid of us?
<pikajude> my jaw is killing me
<ja> Because we're averagely taller than Americans, maybe, subconsciously?
<mkroman> the UK is a bigger shithole than the US these days
<ja> IKEA is Swedish, indeed.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> mkroman: well, that I believe
<ELLIOTTCABLE> didn't say the U.S. was the worst
<ELLIOTTCABLE> just asserting it being terrible
<ja> With their ä’s instead of æ’s and their :’s instead of ,’s in price tags. @_@
<ja> Srsly wtf uses : in currency formatting…
<ja> … Sweden.
<ja> that’s who.
<mkroman> so if your requirement is that the country has to be a shithole, I'm afraid Denmark isn't an option :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE> no, just saying that the fact I don't have to learn a new language, or deal with whatever it feels like to be a second-class linguistic citizen, is enough to outweigh nearly any other flavour of ‘shitty.’
<ja> but elliott pls
<pikajude> Shitty
<pikajude> tm
<ja> it's confession night today tonight rite¿
