Where are you?

Perth, Western Australia. Weather's doing some crazy shit.

I found a cool Finnish-English translation thingy

 - järki = reason, sense, intelligence
 - järjestää = organize
 - järjestelmä = organization
 - järjestelmällinen = organized
 - järjestelmällistyttää = organizationalize
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttää = unorganizationalize
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämätön = having unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyys = unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämättomyydellä = with unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellään = with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänkö = is it with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänköhän = I wonder if it is possible, with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
 - epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänköhänkään? = I wonder if it is possible, even with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?

^I knew how to translate the six first words, but then it got frivolous.


I might have discovered a glitch in the matrix. I apologize my terrible spelling or unknowledge with some of the words. Let's say you have two pieces of iron wire that are both 12 centimetres long. You make a 3x3 square out of the first one. It's area is 9 cm². But you make the other piece of wire a shape with four 90° angles(I don't know the word, sorry! And I'm on 3DS, so I can't check Google Translate) but not a square, with the measures 4x2. That results us with the area of 8 cm². A same amount of wire was used in both of the shapes, but the square had a bigger area compared to the other shape. The question is, why won't the areas match?

Organisationalize is not a word in the english language, nor are any of the words built on that base. Unreflectional is not a word either.

You can't just blindly add prefixes and suffixes to a word and call it valid, there are easier words to use rather than adding a chain of prefixes in an Orwellian "NewSpeak" style.

@Waddle Perimeter never means consistent area, the two shapes are different in their dimensions so they'll cover different areas. If a circle, being the most efficient shape, has a circumference of 12cm, its area will be 36cm². (C=2*pi*r, A=pi*r²)

Sure you can. That's called Finnish.

I get it now, thanks!

This is the Cyclops unit from Heroes of Might and Magic III. All the times when I have played the game (or, specifically, played Heroes Chronicles), I always thought that thing on its head was a pair of horns... I was like, "That's awesome; a Cyclops with horns growing out of its head!?!?" That is... until today.

I'm doing a project for English based off of the Odyssey: a guide of "How to Escape From a Cyclops," something that has to be supplemented by images, etc. I saw this as a great opportunity to include the above sprite of a Cyclops; for whatever reason, I decided to go on Spriters Resource:

Look at the sprite of its back... it is hair... ;_;

[FSM-Reapr]

I loved Heroes III.

[GaryOak]

Heroes III ftw.

[Waddle Bro]

I remember messing with the map editor lots of times. Good memories.

[Jamaha]

I have no opinion on the subject, I just wanted to Finnish this combo.

Going to take my picture taken with the math club tomorrow. I can't decide whether I should look nerdy or not.

My sisters already called me a 'mathlete' and asked me how many kinds of nerd I was. Ehhh they could be more supportive -.- this is why I don't talk to them

Do it, and do not fear; this is not a great opportunity!!
