The portal 2 ending song has an absolutely horrible translation to spanish. I'll have to fix that.

@nerthos the game never got voiced in portuguese. But had Pt-Pt subtitles. I didnt have courage to try those
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:12:11 UTC from web-
@mushi The Spanish translation is subtitle-only too as far as I'm aware, but hell, I hate translators. It seems like they do their best to get as far away as possible from the original meaning whilst still vaguely resembling it.

@nerthos my experience with Portuguese subs are bad (not with games, though, the only game i played with an official sub in portuguese was lollipop chainsaw, and it was pretty good), and portugal portuguese is a bit hard to take seriously
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:24:19 UTC from web-
@mushi Yeah, we usually see the european versions of our languages as silly
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:25:46 UTC from web-
@nerthos when you see the ginil troops sayign they wont call a guy to have tea and freza saying "you're counting with the eggin the chiken's a-hole", you lose the faith in these things
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:28:16 UTC from web-
@mushi Oh god, hahaha
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:29:00 UTC from web-
@nerthos yeah, that was amuzing

@awl that is a sort of commom saying here, but it is not something you expect frieza to say

@awl sardinian?
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:33:42 UTC from web-
@mushi yeah, i was trying to learn it whilst living in sardinia, useless a language as it is.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:34:44 UTC from web-
@awl heh, i had never heard of that language. but what is their saying?

@mushi I feel like I should object to this statement because my mom is from the Azores, but I have no argument to go with my objection. So... OBJECTION!!!!!!
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:29:09 UTC from web-
@techdisk what do they speak in azores?
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:32:57 UTC from web-
@mushi Portuguese. Its a territory of Portugual. Basically, look in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. You see that tiny island right in the middle? That's the Azores.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:34:24 UTC from web-
@techdisk well, tell her she speaks portuguese uglyly

@techdisk babies turn into adult people, but babies are ratherugly
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:42:20 UTC from web-
@mushi well, let's put it this way: Americans speak English. The English speak English. Everyone agrees the English speak it better. :D
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:45:13 UTC from web-
@techdisk I disagree. I am a counterexample. Therefore your statement is false.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:46:32 UTC from web-
@redenchilada shush. You still pronounce the letter Z incorrectly.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:49:03 UTC from web-
@techdisk at least our alphabet song rhymes NERD

@redenchilada the alphabet really never needed a set order anyway. Who ever decided that A comes before B? Also the alphabet song is just Twinkle Twinkle little star.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:52:49 UTC from web-
@techdisk alef beth; the hebrews used their alphabet as numbers also, and it spread from there.

@northernnarwhal well yes, i was referring to why "a" comes before "b".
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:57:20 UTC from web-
@awl Oh yes, of course. I think I may have meant to send that to@redenchilada but it's not a big deal.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:58:17 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal is nonproblem. I'm quite learned in uniwue writing systemes, it may show at times i decide to nerd out on it.

@redenchilada I be on RDN dropping mad knowledge and facts/Steppin to Red and his mad language acts/Better listen up yo cause my mind is straight jacked/Spittin Greek letters like it's a rap track

@techdisk I think the English decided that A comes before B. And the fact still remains that we can rhyme it and you can't.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 00:55:08 UTC from web-
@redenchilada at least we can't mistake a Z for a C in spoken word.

@snowcone Me too, I also do lots of physics for school so I kind of have to know these sort of things.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 01:07:44 UTC from web -
@snowcone Part of it isn't just learning formulas though, it's also putting them into practice. Like, using simple two dimensional motion as an example: I can say the coefficient of friction times mass times gravity equals the normal force exerted upon an object in equilibrium, but that's all mumbo jumbo unless you learn what all that is, what it means, and why it's like that. One of my physics teachers had this analogy she would always bring up where she would talk about how it was like reading how to perfectly hit a baseball, then getting to the plate ans striking out, because theory is essentially useless without application.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 01:17:49 UTC from web -
@snowcone You get to a point where the formulas become longer and more advanced and really need to see it in action to understand why all the variables are there and what they're accounting for.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 01:21:11 UTC from web -
@snowcone Well, I'm not sure if I could point to any online sources, but a good topic to start with is one dimensional motion. Also, learn the difference between a vector and a scaler.
Thursday, 27-Mar-14 01:25:31 UTC from web -
@snowcone Well, I'll write out a simpler version of the formula I told you before (no friction). FN = mg So let's break this down. FN is the normal force. It's essentially the force pushing up on a resting object (to counter gravity). mg is equal to Fg (the force of gravity), where m is the mass of the object and g is the strength of gravity (which is ~9.8 in most cases). So, if you had a 1kg object that wasn't accelerating (therefore no unbalanced forces), the normal force acting on it would be ~9.8
