Why not start a giant quote pyramid?
I'm on it! :lol:
Excellent!
So... What do we talk about in here?
Anything will do, I suppose.
Quote-ceptions!
Rotaxane!
Is it fish-shaped and on fire?
Answer: it depends: standard answer!
Not sure if fish-shaped and on fire... or fish-shaped but not on fire... or not fish-shaped but on fire... or neither fish-shaped nor on fire.
Fish-shaped: 1-, on fire: -1; simplification: {11,10,01,00} :lol:
I see what you did there! :lol:
Yes, I saw to it that I would see that you saw what I did there, see?
Yo dawg...
Yes. Yes I do see.
In case you were wondering, I do use plenty of recursion in face-to-face conversations as well. :lol:
It takes most people (including me) a few seconds before they can figure out what you mean, but it's good brain exercise, no? :lol:
It helps intentionally to regress to a monotone when using it. :twisted:

You could have simply put the link on a new line. :lol:
But that would have broken the pattern! There, now it's fixed.
You mean this mess of code?
Code:
[quote of everything above]
I mean, none of the other replies started with a skipped line.
This is rather funny in an odd sort of way.
I wonder if the words will start to cut off at the beginning of the quote pyramid as we keep nesting the quotes.
It should be obvious when it happens because of the sudden unclosed quote tags.
On another note (D#), this is starting to look like a parabola.
C + G
I will be back in a few hours. I'm going out for a walk in the park.
In that case, I claim victory for the next few hours! :twisted:
http://i1.theportalwiki.net/img/3/30/Turret_turretlaunched05.wav
Yes I do!
You do realize that said "see you soon"....?
I thought it said, "no you don't," but that probably comes from keeping the speakers too close to muted. :oops:
Vertical compression!
Horizontal yields funnier results.
Yes it does. Now the nested boxes no longer look like a parabola. :(
How about now?
It's slightly better. To find out exactly how much it approximates a parabola, though, we'd have to perform a quadratic regression.
If you zoom out a lot, it looks more like a piece of a hyperbola.
Wow, you're right. :lol: My scrolling muscles are getting tired. Perhaps I should switch my mouse's scroll wheel to smooth scrolling.
Perhaps!? :lol:
I :heart: my Logitech M705!
Mine, however, is ambidexterous! :lol:
I'm ambidextrous! [Not really. I was born left-handed, and my parents made me use my right hand to write and eat. The transition was surprisingly easy for me. I can still write with my left hand, although I'm a bit slow, but I draw with my left hand exclusively.]
Maybe you should try making several drawings with each hand and compare the results.

I wonder how practical it would be to test my handedness through a DNA test... :chin:
I will [actually] try that! That seems interesting.
Note: savant-made sketches generally involve almost exclusive right-brain use (replicated in normal people by shutting down the left hemisphere electronically).
The results are in, and the pictures' qualities look surprisingly similar. The handwriting, though, does not. [Feel free to delete the image from the quote pyramid when you reply.][image]
It is interesting to see the differences. Extending that, I wonder if there really is a propensity for the left-handed (for drawing, at any rate below c) to draw more or better.

I'm wondering that too. But given the plasticity of the brain, I would guess that any difference that is present can be attributed to mere chance (p>0.05).

Anyways, my left hand seems pretty challenged, but not as challenged as the average right-handed person, when it comes to writing. With my right hand drawing, the lines are clearly less steady, although the basic anatomy and structure are still correct.

Ever tried writing in both directions at once?

It neither confirms nor denies that. Try spinning one foot either clockwise or counterclockwise and spin the other without attention to direction.

(Trying to execute various things, such as writing, in the same direction at once will likely be more difficult than doing mirrored movements. I presume this has something to do with how memories are mapped on different sides.

You could have simply put the link on a new line. :lol:
But that would have broken the pattern! There, now it's fixed.
You mean this mess of code?
Code:
[quote of everything above]
I mean, none of the other replies started with a skipped line.
This is rather funny in an odd sort of way.
I wonder if the words will start to cut off at the beginning of the quote pyramid as we keep nesting the quotes.
It should be obvious when it happens because of the sudden unclosed quote tags.
On another note (D#), this is starting to look like a parabola.

I will be back in a few hours. I'm going out for a walk in the park.
In that case, I claim victory for the next few hours! :twisted:
http://i1.theportalwiki.net/img/3/30/Turret_turretlaunched05.wav
Yes I do!
You do realize that said "see you soon"....?
I thought it said, "no you don't," but that probably comes from keeping the speakers too close to muted. :oops:
Vertical compression!
Horizontal yields funnier results.
Yes it does. Now the nested boxes no longer look like a parabola. :(
How about now?
It's slightly better. To find out exactly how much it approximates a parabola, though, we'd have to perform a quadratic regression.
If you zoom out a lot, it looks more like a piece of a hyperbola.
Wow, you're right. :lol: My scrolling muscles are getting tired. Perhaps I should switch my mouse's scroll wheel to smooth scrolling.
Perhaps!? :lol:
I :heart: my Logitech M705!
Mine, however, is ambidexterous! :lol:
I'm ambidextrous! [Not really. I was born left-handed, and my parents made me use my right hand to write and eat. The transition was surprisingly easy for me. I can still write with my left hand, although I'm a bit slow, but I draw with my left hand exclusively.]
Maybe you should try making several drawings with each hand and compare the results.

I wonder how practical it would be to test my handedness through a DNA test... :chin:
I will [actually] try that! That seems interesting.
Note: savant-made sketches generally involve almost exclusive right-brain use (replicated in normal people by shutting down the left hemisphere electronically).
The results are in, and the pictures' qualities look surprisingly similar. The handwriting, though, does not. [Feel free to delete the image from the quote pyramid when you reply.][image]
It is interesting to see the differences. Extending that, I wonder if there really is a propensity for the left-handed (for drawing, at any rate below c) to draw more or better.
I'm wondering that too. But given the plasticity of the brain, I would guess that any difference that is present can be attributed to mere chance (p>0.05).

Anyways, my left hand seems pretty challenged, but not as challenged as the average right-handed person, when it comes to writing. With my right hand drawing, the lines are clearly less steady, although the basic anatomy and structure are still correct.
Ever tried writing in both directions at once?
It's also surprisingly easy. Maybe I am ambidextrous? :chin:
[image]
It neither confirms nor denies that. Try spinning one foot either clockwise or counterclockwise and spin the other without attention to direction.

Was it easier to do them in opposite directions or in the same direction? After that, try spinning one leg in one direction again and spinning the hand on the same side one direction followed by the other.

Why not start a giant quote pyramid?

Excellent!
So... What do we talk about in here?
Anything will do, I suppose.
Quote-ceptions!

Is it fish-shaped and on fire?
Answer: it depends: standard answer!
Not sure if fish-shaped and on fire... or fish-shaped but not on fire... or not fish-shaped but on fire... or neither fish-shaped nor on fire.
Fish-shaped: 1-, on fire: -1; simplification: {11,10,01,00} :lol:
I see what you did there! :lol:
Yes, I saw to it that I would see that you saw what I did there, see?
Yo dawg...
Yes. Yes I do see.
In case you were wondering, I do use plenty of recursion in face-to-face conversations as well. :lol:
It takes most people (including me) a few seconds before they can figure out what you mean, but it's good brain exercise, no? :lol:
It helps intentionally to regress to a monotone when using it. :twisted:

You could have simply put the link on a new line. :lol:
But that would have broken the pattern! There, now it's fixed.
You mean this mess of code?
Code:
[quote of everything above]
I mean, none of the other replies started with a skipped line.
This is rather funny in an odd sort of way.
I wonder if the words will start to cut off at the beginning of the quote pyramid as we keep nesting the quotes.
It should be obvious when it happens because of the sudden unclosed quote tags.
On another note (D#), this is starting to look like a parabola.
C + G
I will be back in a few hours. I'm going out for a walk in the park.
In that case, I claim victory for the next few hours! :twisted:
http://i1.theportalwiki.net/img/3/30/Turret_turretlaunched05.wav
Yes I do!
You do realize that said "see you soon"....?
I thought it said, "no you don't," but that probably comes from keeping the speakers too close to muted. :oops:
Vertical compression!
Horizontal yields funnier results.
Yes it does. Now the nested boxes no longer look like a parabola. :(
How about now?
It's slightly better. To find out exactly how much it approximates a parabola, though, we'd have to perform a quadratic regression.
If you zoom out a lot, it looks more like a piece of a hyperbola.
Wow, you're right. :lol: My scrolling muscles are getting tired. Perhaps I should switch my mouse's scroll wheel to smooth scrolling.
Perhaps!? :lol:
I :heart: my Logitech M705!
Mine, however, is ambidexterous! :lol:
I'm ambidextrous! [Not really. I was born left-handed, and my parents made me use my right hand to write and eat. The transition was surprisingly easy for me. I can still write with my left hand, although I'm a bit slow, but I draw with my left hand exclusively.]
Maybe you should try making several drawings with each hand and compare the results.

I wonder how practical it would be to test my handedness through a DNA test... :chin:
I will [actually] try that! That seems interesting.
Note: savant-made sketches generally involve almost exclusive right-brain use (replicated in normal people by shutting down the left hemisphere electronically).
The results are in, and the pictures' qualities look surprisingly similar. The handwriting, though, does not. [Feel free to delete the image from the quote pyramid when you reply.][image]
It is interesting to see the differences. Extending that, I wonder if there really is a propensity for the left-handed (for drawing, at any rate below c) to draw more or better.
I'm wondering that too. But given the plasticity of the brain, I would guess that any difference that is present can be attributed to mere chance (p>0.05).

Anyways, my left hand seems pretty challenged, but not as challenged as the average right-handed person, when it comes to writing. With my right hand drawing, the lines are clearly less steady, although the basic anatomy and structure are still correct.
Ever tried writing in both directions at once?
It's also surprisingly easy. Maybe I am ambidextrous? :chin:
[image]
It neither confirms nor denies that. Try spinning one foot either clockwise or counterclockwise and spin the other without attention to direction.

Was it easier to do them in opposite directions or in the same direction? After that, try spinning one leg in one direction again and spinning the hand on the same side one direction followed by the other.
You're right; it is easier in opposite directions. I guess my feet were trying to be hipster.

It is interesting to see the differences. Extending that, I wonder if there really is a propensity for the left-handed (for drawing, at any rate below c) to draw more or better.
I'm wondering that too. But given the plasticity of the brain, I would guess that any difference that is present can be attributed to mere chance (p>0.05).

Anyways, my left hand seems pretty challenged, but not as challenged as the average right-handed person, when it comes to writing. With my right hand drawing, the lines are clearly less steady, although the basic anatomy and structure are still correct.
Ever tried writing in both directions at once?
It's also surprisingly easy. Maybe I am ambidextrous? :chin:

It neither confirms nor denies that. Try spinning one foot either clockwise or counterclockwise and spin the other without attention to direction.

(Trying to execute various things, such as writing, in the same direction at once will likely be more difficult than doing mirrored movements. I presume this has something to do with how memories are mapped on different sides.
8O Is it wrong that I moved both of my feet clockwise?
Was it easier to do them in opposite directions or in the same direction? After that, try spinning one leg in one direction again and spinning the hand on the same side one direction followed by the other.
You're right; it is easier in opposite directions. I guess my feet were trying to be hipster.
:?:
"Spinning in the opposite direction is too mainstream. I'm spinning in the same direction."
:lol: Loading plan: I.I.
Okay... *nervous laugh*
