vetting

Iirc, around book 2 or 3 the main author died and his son took over

And just like hamfisted a lot of the stuff or simply didnt get the idea behind certain actions. Guess I cant say for certain though as I didnt delve too deeply into the series

I will say Duncan Idaho is a cool/funny name for a important character

Spooky made us see some choice scenes from the show

it was so nonsensical

Also superficially, I hate those books/show because of the amount of times I have seen people say "Physics can't solve the 3 body problem" when the answer to that is that is has, there just is not a closed form solution

is it proven to not have a closed form solution?

Pretty sure its a trancendental eq involving sine

I think I was thinking of the double pendulum when I said that, but the ODE system for the 3 body problem is not solvable exactly except in specific special cases

I prefer tts over audio books, and a vast majority of my reading is done this way. im ready small text on screens all day at work, so in my leisure i need to give my eyes a rest. audio books are often too slowly paced and pronunciation is inconsistent or hard to understand when sped up. tts on the other hand is extremely consistent

Ive done this a few times with some articles I just didnt care to read/wanted to do something simultaneously. Haven't really found a TTS site i like though.

there is this app called audify on android that is like the greatest thing. has settings for everything. i could not live without it

Hello Aelin, welcome to the server! They are the 303rd member. To be vetted, please say something @Aelin.

joined the server.

I’m saying something. I stumbled upon the wiki for this place and I said “I am so confused, how do I find out more”

Hello new person

to clarify, when you stumbled on the wiki, do you know absolutely zero about what phijkchu is, who rob is, etc

Absolutely that. I was looking for a list of Pokemon with mustaches and found that entry on the wiki. Old man Willikers and Snorlax with a drawn on mustache caught my attention.

I did this totally backwards and understand if I need to be kicked out 😅

No its fine lmao

you are not the first person to find the wiki for unrelated, pokemon reasons and join out of curiosity

Oh thank god

The wiki is like, insane-looking though, no?

also welcome new person

It totally is and I love it so much

Thank you!

so as a brief crash course, old man wilikers, aka rob, aka rawb, aka pkmnrob was an old school internet person who had his hands in a lot of things. One example is he was a very early adopter of making nuzlock content on twitch/youtube. Phijkchu as a group started as a group of fans of this person. Nowadays, Rob kind of lost his mind, did a lot of coke, among other bad things, and none of us particularly like him, and for the most part we just pay attention to him because he is a train wreck of a person. This group itself is moreso just a social group of internet weirdo's who hang out and do stuff/talk about things we are interested in

that is a very barebones crash course in phijkchu/rob

You are welcome to stay and hang out here if you want, although you have to answer the standard vetting question, which today because I have decided is Tiny's job to ask

OHH internet memory unlocked, Rob in that context does ring a bell now Vetting question? I’m ready!

It might take a bit, I put tiny on the spot just now

Right, standard vetting question then: You're given 4 options, A, B, C, and D. What would you choose and which would be the most common choice?

(I'm just going to steal my last poll)

Fair enough tiny

except I'm curious if you can guess the most common answer as well

C and C because it’s always C until it’s not, let’s be real

they passed the question

fair enough

good job

It was 10 for C vs. 8 for everything else combined haha

You know, some day I should compile all the standard vetting questions we've asked

and the standard vetting answers

anyways welcome to the server, like I said, we are kind of just a random group of internet weirdos, you are welcome to post, go inactive forever, or leave when you discover something about us that makes you want to leave

most people pick option 2

welcome to the server

I'll ask an addendum question

which non-mustached pokemon would you want to have Nintendo give one to

Spooky thats an awesome question

should've saved that one for an unrelated person as a vetting question
