The Physics Forums Cafe- Talk all ya want

[Nicool003]

Hey everybody here's my newest idea for a thread! Just kick back and relax here! Talk about whatever you want!
movies, video games, world events, what's going on, new exciting science AND not science things that you think people should no about! This thread is for all that in more!

 

[RuroumiKenshin]

umm...isn't that the point of the general discussion forum?

 

[Mistress Lilith]

mmm... cafe... I feel like a cappucino and a choc-chip muffin... or a hot chocolate and a cinamon donut.
YUM!

 

[Bubonic Plague]

mmm... cafe... I feel like a cappucino and a choc-chip muffin... or a hot chocolate and a cinamon donut.

I'm cravin' fer a nice big platter of rare beef steak, drowned in gravy, with french fries on the side of the plate, plus a nice big cup of chocolate milkshake. Maybe i'll throw in a peppermint ice-cream sundae.

 

[Nicool003]

No not really if you were around a really long time in the old PF you'd know what I mean.

So everyone how was your day? (hahaha)

Every time someone asks me how my day was, I feel the intense urge to just say, "the world sucks". One of the only oases in this desert of human stupidity is the PFs.

 

[Nicool003]

haha yes sometimes the world sucks but tehre are some good things so look at the bright side! Hmmmm I'm rather fond of moose chocolate cheese cake. That and some hot chocolate with some whipped cream on top would be great right now!

right on, Mentat. I have a slight urge to say something like that, but since I'm the type that doesn't like talking (with most people), I don't. I just reply "good" or "fine".[zz)]

 

[Bubonic Plague]

Anyone here plays Command and Conquer: Generals?

I'm looking fer fresh opponents.

 

[Nicool003]

No a friend of mine has it and I hear it is good. I play Galactic Battlegrounds, Age of Empires, and Jedi KNight 2 on the comp (when i am not on PF, eating,sleeping,talking,at school or soing homework, and tons of other stuff i have to do at some point) I also have xbox and 8 games on it so I play them too.

[Bubonic Plague]

Who here plays chess?

I Do. But i play only International Chess, not Chinese Chess.

 

[Nicool003]

No Mentat I meant hot chocolate!

[Twisted Angel]

*apologies for interupting*

 

[Twisted Angel]

btw why won't it say the number of posts I've posted...?

 

[Twisted Angel]

*hits head* jst read the announcement thingy... lol

 

[Nicool003]

haha Yeah I was about to answer you anyways. Well being that I am a guy I don't really like Michele branch but I think she has a god voice and some skill with the guitar. My sister has the cd.

 

[Mentat]

I don't care much for Michelle Branch's songs.

Anyone here like Disturbed?

 

[Bubonic Plague]

I only like one of their songs, Down With The Sickness. Rather old song though.

You don't like "Voices", "Stupify", "The Game", etc from "The Sickness"? How about the songs in "Believe", do you like any of those?

I personally like songs 1-5 and 10, in the first C.D., and only like "Prayer" in "Believe", didn't care much for the rest of the songs.

 

[Nicool003]

You like disturbed? *shudder*


I'm sorry they give me the creeps.

perhaps it is partly because some people that I know like them completely freak me out...

 

[Mentat]

So, who here know anything about "Hex"? I have asked to know what the rules are, but I didn't get a very concise answer.

Do you mean the Hexadecimal number system?
If so it is simply a number system that is based on 16 instead of the usual 10. That means that there are 16 digits; we use the letters a through f as digits. Counting goes like this: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f. To count higher we use the same rule as the decimal system, insert the next digit before the sequence again, so to continue counting we get: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f.
So that hexadecimal a = decimal 10; hexadecimal 10 = decimal 16, hexadecimal 20 = decimal 32, etc.
If that wasn't what you meant, just ignore me or clarify the question.

Forgive my not having been more clear, but I meant the board game, "Hex" (invented by John Nash, I believe).

 

[J-Man]

Perhaps you mean one of the following:
-Geo-Hex Terrain Systems
-Hex games
-Html Enabled Xml parser
-Something completely different

 

[Mentat]

Hmm... ask climbhi, I think he's the one who brought it up (in the old PFs).

 

[J-Man]

ahh, didn't see the new page before the last post...
Here's a few links that may help.
http://www.playsite.com/t/games/board/hex/rules.html
http://www.krammer.nl/hex/hexrules.htm
http://www.maitreg.com/hex/beginner/index.asp
http://www.maitreg.com/hex/novice/

I haven't played it myself, but I believe the rules are simple, (1) black goes first (assuming black & white pieces); (2) whoever completes a direct line across the board first wins.

[arivero]

An hex is a kind of maldition or blame upon someone, isn't it?

 

[Mentat]

arivero, we were actually just talking about a game that was called "Hex".

Doing good (a little irritated by a certain member, for his/her post on the "Nothing" thread[s)] but...).

I remember when I used to look forward to snow days, and two-hour delays. I can't anymore, because I wake up in the school, and don't have to go anywhere to get my school work done.

 

[Nicool003]

because I wake up in the school, and don't have to go anywhere to get my school work done.

What do you mean you can't? And what did you mean you wake up in the school?

I think it is always nice to have a day off gives you more time to do homework and take a break. Remember my old thread in here called "stress in school"? Well man they have been loading it on us!

 

[The Grimmus]

let me randomly interrupt whate ver was happing because i am too lazy to read all the posts

i wopuld think this thread would get more posts but no, none of you want to contribute your all greedy greed bastas and you will all say your sorry for not supporting the thread and it's creator not i want everyone to say their sorry now..darn it

I'm home-schooled. I wake up in the school. I can't escape school work, through use of the excuse that I can't leave the house.

 

[Nicool003]

Ohhh that can't be too fun at times can it?

 

[Mentat]

Actually (and, please, no one sound the *nerd alert*), I like school-work most of the time.

 

[Nicool003]

I was referring to the fact that you don't really get away from it like on snow days when you can hang out or talk to your friends and just relax or read or go on PF longer than usual... that kinda thing

 

[Mentat]

Has anyone else noticed that laughing reserves itself for when it's not wanted?

MAN! I keep trying to stop laughing in formal gatherings (or during someone's speech), but I can't stop. So I excuse my self, and go into the bathroom to laugh... and it goes away. It is just not funny anymore, once you are "allowed" to laugh.

 

[Nicool003]

I know I hate that! But for me it is also if something serious happened or if something serious is going on and I just want to laugh so I just hold it in and it eventually goes away. Also when I take an important test at school, I just want to look around and move my neck and stuff but it is just because you are paranoid that the teacher will think you are cheating so you sit extra still and then you begin to go crazy and just want to move... argh

 

[Mentat]

As far as Cafe's go, I just went to one with my friends. It had really excellent Mochas, but it only served a couple of different kinds of soup .

 

[Nicool003]

Hehe. I like the cafe's that they usually have in Barnes and noble. They are nice and serve good food and they have great soups but they only sell a few different kinds a day because they alternate. But we have others by where i live and...wait how did this come up again?
