Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Natter 4^2 - cos(p): This could be mathier

I'd really rather see it be Natter 17=4^2 - cos(p): This could be mathier. Keeping a 17 in there will make it a hell of a lot easier to make sense of the archives later on down the road.

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

Could we put Nilly's name in there? Such as

Natter 17=4^2 - cos(p): Could this be mathier, Nilly?

Natter 17=4^2 - cos(p): Could this be mathier, Nilly?

I like this.

Art Crawl!!!

I like that too!

I rather like this trend where each Natter thread is dedicated to a particular long-time Buffista. I hope we can keep it going beyond 17.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But Nilly just loves 17 for its 17-ness! Not because of the factors or anything.

Natter 17=4^2 - cos(p): Could this be mathier, Nilly?

Yes. I was wanted something like this, but, frankly, I could be mathier. The best I came up with was 2*(2+3)+7.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Natter 17=4^2 - cos(p): Could this be mathier, Nilly?

I like this a lot, but let's spell out pi, because pi is good.

Natter 17 = 4^2 - cos(pi): Could this be mathier, Nilly?

Yep. Definitely liking "It Could Be Mathier," and that 17 should actually appear in the title (for various reasons, not the least of which being that playing with the numbering before has caused headaches), but also liking the idea that the number should also includ some kind of mathiness - that way it appeals to Nilly in multiple ways.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Per a discussion in Bitches, I move we open up the F2F thread, which was scheduled to open in October.
