    what's the opposite of a squirrel?
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:47:17 (My zsig brings all the boys to the yard.)
    The internet informs me that the opposite of a squirrel is melanism.
guertin / important.question / guertin // Feb 12 21:47:50 (Lian Guertin)
    mkay. I don't know what melanism is, but it's apparently the unit of
    focus.
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:48:07 (Facts are the enemy of zsigs.)
    It's like albinism but backwards

    Here, a melanistic squirrel:

    ooh, pretty.
guertin / important.question / cesium // Feb 12 21:50:26 (1 Melanistic squirrels should be is not?)
    Shouldn't a melanistic squirrel equal one?
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:51:22 (If I had a zsig, I'd hammer in the morning.)
    No, it should be zero. The "opposite" of something is generally its
    additive inverse, no?
guertin / important.question / cesium // Feb 12 21:53:16 (I do not assume especially. However, the dark and I'm +)
    I wouldn't especially assume that. But also I would think melanism +
    squirrel would be a picture of melanism next to a squirrel. Instead
    you have one thing that is both a squirrel and melanism, so it's
    melanism * squirrel.
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:53:33 (Search your zsigs. You know it to be true.)
    Oh, I guess so.
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:53:41 (We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all zsigs are created equal...)
    So yeah, that is a picture of one.
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:54:05 (Who stole the zsig from the cookie jar?)
    Or... it may be a picture of -(squirrel)^2
guertin / important.question / ismith // Feb 12 21:54:09 (passing out is a security vulnerability -afarrell)
    No, you have to convolve them.  Melanism is a function, squirrel is a
    function ( (x \in squirrels), (x \in things_with_melanism)).
guertin / important.question / cesium // Feb 12 21:54:18 (Imagine the fur traders is one of the best.)
    One is furrier than I imagined.
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:54:36 (Life is like a box of zsigs, you never know what you're gonna get.)
    Is squirrel a furrier transform?
guertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:55:39 (Open the pod bay zsigs, HAL.)
    ismith: 'one' in the context of functions would be the identity
    function, which that might be

    Ah!
unguertin / important.question / guertin // Feb 12 21:57:05 (Lian Guertin)
    What just... I probably should have expected something like this to
    happen, shouldn't I.
unguertin / important.question / ismith // Feb 12 21:57:15 (Do you also intend to have your marriage recognized by the ASA? -kdrinkwa)
    Yes.
unguertin / important.question / haiiro // Feb 12 21:57:41 (Somebody set up us the zsig.)
    Nope, this was _completely_ unpredictable.
unguertin / important.question / ismith // Feb 12 21:58:30 (If there's an infinite amount of numbers, you can name them whatever you want. -wings)
    You might  say this event had a probability of melanistic squirrel.
unguertin / important.question / cesium // Feb 12 21:58:41 (Come on, everyone's still led to category theory.)
    Come on, no one's even brought up category theory yet.
unguertin / important.question / cesium // Feb 12 21:59:25 (ismith: start the Exchange I think is the one you know)
    ismith: Y'know, I think I'm just going to start replacing "one" with
    "melanistic squirrel" in everything.
unguertin / important.question / ismith // Feb 12 22:00:04 (I can picture kdrinkwa on pbear's left shoulder and [ismith] in snark devil gear on his right.)
    Well, I for melanistic squirrel welcome our new
    global-find-and-replace overlords.
