Random Raves 37 - Already CFC is returning to harmony

-15 C is very cold are you guys high or what

-15C is very cold, yes. But they're talking about 60F, or around 15C.

Your confusion is the result of a an em dash being interpreted as a minus sign.

What's that - 15 C? That's hardly freezing cold.

I.e. "What's that [60F]... 15C? That's hardly freezing cold".

And it isn't.

Note that there is a visible difference between " - 15 C" and "-15 C".

(Basically, what Borachio said.)

Poppycock

What is the first supposed to mean, then?

 

[Arakhor]

"What's that? <pause> 15 C?"

 

[gay_Aleks]

He could have just said:

"What's that? 15 C?"

and saved us this convo.

And what did we learn today? The dash is your enemy when used improperly.

I made it back to page 2 on post count. Let's see if I can get all the way back to page 1!

Yes it is. Getting into the minus territory is extremely rare for his part of the world and even then it only just gets into minus territory like -0.4C or something like that. That is our minimum, it rarely gets below 10C for our maximum.

Oh god, I realized I am already halfway up page 3 and my join date is later than almost all of them.

And I've been posting here for 7 years.

 

[Arakhor]

I joined a month after you, Zack, and I have 2,000 more posts than you.

 

[gay_Aleks]

I'm here for only, what...3 years? and still I have half the posts of you, Arakhor!

I'm not sure whether this is a depressing fact or something I should be proud of.

You can find solace in the knowledge that this post will eventually leave your postcount when the thread is archived.

Hell you've almost caught up to me.

I've been here for like a couple months more than Zack and I still haven't broken 10k.

When you decide, let me know.

Since when is 10 "a couple" ?

[cardgame]

I take consolation under 10k posts in the fact that I basically took a year break from this place at some point, barely posting any. I don't know if that's technically true, but it feels right.

[Arakhor]

I only wandered into the Off-Topic and Mafia sections in the spring of 2010 or thereabouts and I believe that I had a mere 1,200 or so posts then. How times have changed.

 

[Ajidica]

Excepting CH and Hygro I've been here longer than all of you!
(Nearly a decade now. Oh dear, I'm turning into an "Elder Poster".)

 

[JohannaK]

That'd be if you weren't one already.
