    my deodorant seems to have stopped working


    anybody else have that thing where a brand of deodorant looses effectiveness so you have to buy a different brand for a while?
    That happens to me too
  • Never happens to me

    Hoping it never does
  • i think i had a legit idea for something i would enjoy doing as a phd
  • slightly afraid that if i did it, it would basically make me Dr Vaporwave, but i could live with that, probably.
  • embossed business cards with just 'Dr Vaporwave' and a link to my tumblr

    Hi Heap.

    Does anyone here know how to cite an old book that's been translated from another language, but where the translator is not given?  i have to submit this thing by midnight on Monday, and Monday's a bank holiday, so i can't ask the university for advice on this.
  • What format are you using
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    MHRA

    i have the style guide in front of me but unless i've missed something, it doesn't have any advice for this eventuality.
  • hi tachyon!!

    i personally would probably just leave out the part where you would cite the translator, or if your uni is strict on including such things, maybe put 'trans. by Anonymous' or something along those lines??
  • Is there a thing for when the author of a book is anonymous?  How does that differ from a known author citation?

    Copy the pattern by analogy for anonymous translator, I guess.
  • yeah glenn for anonymous authors you just credit 'Anonymous' im pretty sure, i use MHRA as well

    crediting the translator as anonymous is probably a safe bet.
  • also tach did you watch eurovision, and what was the best song (hint: any answers other than latvia, serbia or belgium are wrong)
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Hi Sunny.

    They're probably not all that strict, tbh, but i worry a lot.

    i can't actually find anything in the style guide about anonymous authors, but i know the usual practice is to cite the editor instead under those circumstances.  But this is a 1947 reprint of an old 1912 volume, and the publishing information is pretty sparse; no editor is given.

    Anyway, Anonymous works.  Thanks.

    i didn't see Eurovision, how was it?  Honestly i've been kind of busy with this project and not found much time to watch tv or anything like that.
  • This is pretty epic.

    Hi Tachyon. Centie's at work training the new hire. We're the only two here today because the warehouse is closed for the holiday.

    Hi CA!  Sounds like a pretty quiet day.

    i'm kind of easily distracted, so i think i'll log off HH for the time being.  Once i've got this work submitted i can finally graduate, but it's not finished yet.
  • imagine that, without warning nor posture change, my z-value suddenly increases rapidly, only to decrease half a second later back to its present value.

    imagine this is accompanied by a sound effect.

    basically imagine me randomly levitating out of my chair at high speed for no reason, and imagine a cartoonish sound effect to go along with it.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    "In a mixed review for Rolling Stone magazine, Nick Tosches highlighted four "quality" songs, including "Hangin' 'Round" and "Satellite of Love", which he felt express a stimulating sexuality, but dismissed most of the album as "artsyfartsy kind of homo stuff" that lacks assertiveness"

    Huh, so Rolling Stone used to be even douchier.

    Cool.
  • rolling stone has ranged from mediocre to hysterically awful over the years
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    heh heh, Rolling Stone
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Hey Tach, how goes being a big nerd.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    You call everyone a big nerd.
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    I don't call everyone a big nerd, only the big nerds or those that deserve to be called big nerds. Like Exy.

    Some of their political coverage has been pretty good over the years. Their music side has pretty much always sucked, though.

    Waterman what are you doing with my stack of money

    Chef this isn't even real money
    It's play money from the Alphabet Toy Company in Squidwater, Texas

    I paid good money for that phoney money, so you better not do anything stupid with it

    Too late chef I set it ablaze

    But why waiterman

    Because you told me to
    Just look at this sign you write that says BORN MY FAKE MUNNY FOR FREE PEPSI

    that sign was a lie waiterman
    It's actually rc Cola

    That's it chef, I'm afraid I have to sue you

    Can't you just take a bribe instead

    I don't see why not

    Have this Legitimate Car Stereo

  • Fear from Inside Out looks like a vaguely humanized Spot (though I always envisioned her human counterpart looking different from that)

    Twitter is informing me "anime marxism" is a dogwhistle for transphobia.

    apparently it was used this way by some anti-gg-identifying type who started complaining about the "ally zone" or something

    Odd

    I'd always just used it to refer to some twitter/tumblr people who all had anime avatars and a pseudo-ironic overidentification with authoritarian variants of communism.

    But I guess I'll stop saying that if it'll make people think I'm a transphobe.
  • ...Wait a minute, why did it take so long for the character voiced by Estelle to get her own song anyways?

    They were saving it for a Special Moment.

    That said, when will Nicki Minaj get her turn

    "I would like to make Q's," said Ramona on sudden inspiration.

    "Make use of what?" asked Mrs. Wilcox, holding out a sheet of drawing paper.

    Ramona had been sure all along that the substitute could not be as smart as Miss Binney, but at least she expected her to know what the letter Q was. All grown-ups were supposed to know Q. "Nothing," Ramona said [...]

  • kill living beings
    that took me a second, lol
  • I need to gnaw a 8oney.
