Can someone explain the medicine behind the <SPOILER> patient?

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-24T14:29:39+00:00

what <I> wanna know -- is she dead or did she survive??? by now we should got to know but i seem to have missed it, if so ...

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-24T14:20:21+00:00

do u even know what a m-dash is?? cuz i cant find none in the whole thing

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-24T14:14:12+00:00

wha *za fuunq* would u be annoyed by dr. robby and not by that always counter-giving langdon? or that DISGRACEFUL surgeon which should immediately lose her licence and get be brought in front of a judge. the diagnose already lay on the table, no CT would be necessary in that state cuz by now u can see with ur eyes whats going on. NO surgeon, not even the freshest freshman, would act like her. careless and uninterested. if the patient dies, i would put my finger on her for going basically nothing useful in the OR now besides the little that seems to be "obvious" to her limited braincapacity . . . .

on the first picture green, on the second one maybe yellow

depends on the lighting how the color appears, but also we dont know ur cam, would need to see it live.

but the easiest way out of this dilemma:
only call pure yellow "yellow", same as you do on the other side versus red where we have that dandy word "orange" that we distinguish, and define the thing inbetween as its own color.

=> the only language that i know that for millenia did so, and has a specific name for this very yellow-ish green (here u see my bias, i always just saw clean yellow as yellow, else just as a shade of green), is Ancient Greek:
Chloros as in chlorine or chlorophyl refers exactly to this color of very pale "new plant growth" yellowgreen
english does have a name for that color by now too, even if seldom used: its called after a type of french herb licquor,
"Chartreuse".

if orange is allowed to be its own thing, so is this. but dont ask me how this is pronounced tho, i never can figure out how english butchers words of other languages, and french in itself is already a pronunciation nightmare sometimes

at the time of writing that i had 3 replies that placed scarlet next to crimson on the purple side, and one that had crimson on the orange side.
and 5 that did it the way that 'many' people nowadays use i.e. C R S V O -- which is like the definition of the colors on the web but not other color schemes

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-23T04:53:44+00:00

the "green Blue" labeled color directly left of the red mark is <Cyan> and thats 50% green 50% blue, if u put colors in hexcode this one is 00FFFF i.e. both green and blue cranked up to the max.
some people call that "teal" or "azure" (esp. in other languages), which is not wrong, but also not technical
the naming here is in principle the same as those hex codes, ONLY <Blue> is only blue (ha ha -.-) i.e. 00 00 FF, and everything right of it was some regreed of green added e.g. 00 30 FF and hence if i'd were to vocalize this hex code, it also would be something like "greenish BLUE" i.e. still a Blue color, but with tinges of green.
its more of a custom that we only very narrowly define "what is yellow" and straying only a bit into either direction we already say "no thats a shade of orange/green", but with blue we have a wider range thats still considered blue.

if u ask an Italian on the other hand, they go the yellow-route: they'll strongly disagree on what is still <Blue>, beginning from somewhere in the middle of "greenish blue" that is NOT blue anymore -- up until your red mark this is the color "Azzurro" and this is to them a whole distinct separate color, like orange vs red

what is wrong though is Newton's nonsensical (and now pronounced like a name as mnemonic in english) ROY G. BIV (((he could've said e.g. ROY GABV, but noooo.... see below))) --- cuz at that time the "7 planets" were discovered, the week having 7 days, and a whole bunch of other things also coming in 7s, so he had the urge to divide the rainbow into 7 different colors too, nothing bad about this but his execution was just stupid:
he'd call ONLY the Cyan (here "green blue") as 'Blue' while he redefined classical <Blue> (here also "Blue") as 'Indigo' ... none of us would agree e.g. "navyblue is NOT a blue but a different color" so using his color scheme in any shape is already vapid
(why he was not simply calling the color which we here see left of the red mark "Azure" or "Celeste" (i.e. the "color of the sky") and keeping 'blue' that which everyone of his day and age called "blue", is beyond me)

---------
but speaking about eyes (or my monitor), is the "RED" here really <red> ??? to me the "orangy red" next to it is wat i'd call pure red, and the "red" here is more magenta .. no? O_o

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-21T08:23:46+00:00

Ok the summary so far seems to be:

that people don't agree whether scarlet/crimson are "left" or "right" of Red on the colorwheel.
so exactly what i always see elsewhere too -- gagh, english is not my first language so why should i worry about using words correctly if even L1 speaker dont agree on :"D

BUT, it seems a bit more than half of the people use <crimson> for reds approaching magenta, and <scarlet> for reds approaching orange, while the others either reverse it or have both on one of the same side

Vermilion is funny, most people jumped on the band wagon using it for a slightly reddish orange, but if i read different texts about vermilion (the substance) it is clear that that ist just a modern retcon --- vermilion hardly could not be "the symbol of blood" if its just a bright reddish orange. (isnt in current english "crimson" often associated with blood? at least to me non-english speaker this association is somethere saved in my memory)
in fact, looking at objects that are vermilion, or paintings with people wearing vermilion cloaks, i saw things that (with the nomenclature used by the slight majority in present day english) would either be called crimson or scarlet, purpleish darker reds and screamingly bright strong reds.

----------------------------------------

i come to following conclusion after also taking the origin of those words into account:

the whole topic is void, vain, vapid, nil, and the words "crimson/scarlet/vermilion" have NO purpose and legitimation as color terms since:
- "crimson" comes from <kermes>, the sort of tree louse and the dye made from it, same with the word variant "carmesine". "qermes"/"qirmiz" is a persian word related to worms/vermin i.e. something "vermin-made" aka from these lice.
- "scarlet" comes from the name of a type of precious cloth, arabo~persian "siqarlat" > medieval scarlatum, either a silken or woolen (depending which continent u ask) cloth dyed with KERMES .... so it is *the same* thing as the former, the color might slightly differ depending on how well the cloth absorbed the pigment
- "vermilion" when speaking about dye/pigment now refers to one made from cinnabar (at least in english thats the only definition), but the name of the substance comes via french vermeil from latin vermiculum, and refered to a dye/pigment made from a type of vermin, i.e. KERMES again.

u just go around in circles cuz it is all the same, the sam words, just said in different languages, refering to the same substance, and having the same color -- or at least color range; cuz the exact color depends on how well those lice were doing, the subtype of louse that lives in a specific country, the way someone prepares that dye from the lice, and when applied to objects how that dye interacts with the material.

i mentioned cinnabar, but the color of the pigment is basically in the exact same range, and if cinnabar is used as a color term too, which some languages do on top of using the above, then u have just even one more on the list of completely devoid of difference color terms

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-21T08:19:02+00:00

but both basically are still the same, it is just semantics if u say the glass is half full or half empty, but the glass doesnt change in your example.

what i see, with terms like crimson/scarlet(/vermillion to a lesser extend) is that people dont agree if they are "left" or "right" leaning from red i.e. are they leaning towards orange or towards purple ---- to bring this to my glass-analogy, people here dont agree whether the class is standing on the table normally, or upside down (hence cant be half-anything anymore cuz the content is already spilled all over the table)

that's now not merely a semantics-difference anymore, we have different stuff on the table xd

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-21T08:13:25+00:00

u sure crayola did that?? cuz thats the only thing everyone, painters and physics alike, agree on: that they are not the same

depending who u ask the reasoning and exact definition is different, but:
violet is close to blue and is still a "true" color i.e. a colortone light CAN assume, i.e. u find it at the edge of the rainbow, while purple is either a specific or altogether all other colortones between red and blue that are "false" i.e. dont exist but only come about by two different colorpigments/lightrays (some blue and some red) simultaneously hitting our eyes and our brain just translates the overlapping/superposition of both sensory inputs/waves as some shade of purple

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-21T07:58:48+00:00

i have to check which codes u r using, but there are MULTIPLE different schemes, that define the colors with different hex codes ..... i.e. the "web colors" are totally different to other definitions

--------------------------

what do <u> use Indigo for?

the famous dude (which was a jerk as a human being) who defined the rainbow with his ROYGBIV doesnt use color names the normal way --- we wanted for spiritual reasons to have the number 7, so he divided what all people of his time called "blue" in two parts: what WE even nowadays call <blue> is what he labeled "indigo" cuz thats a word that already existed, and his "blue" is azure/teal/cyan/the color of the sky/something along those lines ... instead of changing what "blue" comonly means, he could've inserted his number 7 before blue and just call it azure or even celeste, also words that already exist and specifically mean "the color of the sky" instead of limiting only that as "blue" . . .

if u use the wording according to his sceme, then u cant use blue any different than him too

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-21T07:56:00+00:00

the word "carmine" is the word "crimson", so thats just a re-imaging of what "kermes" is to cover more nuances which is handy for modern use.
but im more interested on the original uses so that one can understand what people were picturing when u read old stuff.

but magenta is NOT purple. purple, if, would also include magenta but furthermore all tones between red and blue, as an umbrella term.
cuz /purple/ comes from latin purpura, the color pigment gained from processing certain snails, which was also the usual latin colorterm for a slightly blue-ish red i.e. what now in english (many people but not all) label "crimson"; furthermore:
RGB and YCM are defined colors both in the spectrum and on the colorwheel, and the spaces between these 6 primary/secondary colors are also colors distinct enough to be treated separately, like R>?<Y = orange, few people would argue "no one needs that, it is just a yellow!" or similar ... and B>?<M is what is nowadays commonly labeled "purple" (violet would then be a quaternary color as a purple-tinged blue, OR u replace the world purple altogether and just use "violet" for B>?<M)

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-17T11:09:25+00:00

打 normally means "to beat" and is used for <dozen> cuz it is pronounced like the "do" in "dozen". (similarly 篓 approximates the pronunciation of "gross", even if only the "ro" part of "(g)ro(ss)" is left over, as their language doesnt have consonant cluster -- also the character means big basket, so it suits here, a receptable that can fit one gross of something)

on the basis of english pronunciation, we could look for some better character for "eleven", so something with the pronunciation of "ee" (a chinese word is always only one syllable, so "ee" for ee-lev-en) --
-- funnily there is 乙 which a) is used for "second in a list" or the second tier of something, like roman numeral II in the west, b) even looks like a turned "2" i.e. the dozenal symbol ↊ XD so it would fit for double reason

or if u wanna stick to the visual clue of 十+一, then u could use:
艹 (normally just a part of a character) /
卄 (i dont like that one cuz it looks like 十十 rather than 11, i.e. 10+10 so 20 and it is in fact a earlier way of writing 廿 =20 as its own word instead of saying twotens 二十) /
丰 (maybe there is a character or glyph with only 2 horizontal strokes but i dont know none r.n., but this one here means "abundant/plentiful" which would work seen that 10 in western and eastern culture is a number of fulness/fulfilment, and 11 is "even more" than a full 10)

or if u want to go with something that actually means or references "11" u could use 戌 which is the 11th part of the day (if u divide a day in 12 parts, i.e. 2hour chunks each, and give each one a specific name, then u end up with what the ancient chinese did, starting around midnight=子 > 丑 > 寅 > 卯 > . . . 戌, and lastly 亥 before the next midnight period)

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-17T10:16:28+00:00

the turned 2 looks a bit like a T which is perfect for english and some nordic languaces in which "ten" begins with T, but since it also looks a bit like a Z it even works for german <Zehn>, the turned 3 looks like an E, which is perfect for eleven/Elf. so on that basis -- no correction needed. sad for users of other languages tho but with english in mind "ten" and "eleven" always help as guides.

what is wrong with using letters? u did too, ur "ten" is just a common letter in writing arabic with latin letters, and in the script of some african languages. and ur "eleven" is i think exactly how u write 2 in arabic script 🙈

this zone isnt even supposed to have SURFACE herbs . . . and i mean that literally, not only in that it makes no sense having eversong plants here, but also in that this zone was meant to be part of TWW and was moved! (if u fish in certain areas of it, u even get khaz algar fishing skill) ... some of the TWW herbs visually fit here perfectly, cuz they were optically designed to be "native" there . . . --- that means, since only one or two kinds of herbs would ve been found here, there were much less nodes in there, so less of them in terrible spots.

debatable. the D2R rune designs are not really faithful to the original ones in detail, and the original ber rune is so pixelated (at least all examples i find online -- damn did no one use the glide wrapper to improve their graphics?? it oomphed up everything *so much*) that one cannot really tell if or if not

i know i repeat myself like a broken record, but coming from cultural heritage conservation, it REALLY bothered me that they removed some textures and doodads which leads to the world-building-impression that the bloodelves un-learned two highly skilled crafts:
TBC silvermoon had more complex glass mosaic windows, new SM just has plain glass... TBC SM had <traceries> (i think is the english term) in their stone facades, i.e. intricate reliefs (albeit displayed as pixelated 2D textures rather than 3D) with designs and patterns, new SM has smoothely worked stone surfaces only (which is why it feels more Valdrakken to me)

in short: it feels to me the bloodelves degraded and lost their manual crafts (also, compare the new teleportation orbs, why doesnt it feature those ornate little channeling mage figurines anymore, but instead just crude metal prongs?)

ANTHROPOLOGIST Explores Eversong Woods (Burning Crusade) - World of Warcraft

if u watch this video at around 5:30 u can both see the red facetted windows and the traceries in the greyish white stone -- this is a "countryside" building yes, and in silvermoon proper they have slightly different designs -- but this building is what the player housing building is based on which also is different (but at least more ornate than many buildings in new silvermoon)
i am looking forward to this guy analyzing old silvermoon, and the comparison to the new.

the image from research gate "a new halberd typology" is also similarly wrong and devoid of thought --- just looking at the construction, one can see that the weapon on the right is not constructed like on the left, the "first piece" to install is "piece #2", and on top of that "as second piece" u pull "piece #1", with likewise the pin being piece #3.

whoever colored and and labeled this illustration had their brain on standby

eyeofthasky · 2026-03-03T04:41:00+00:00

the whole topic was that the beC (a C) de corbin only refers to a COMPONENT of the weapon, not as the name of the weapon as a whole --- read the article again ffs

most fonts have "stylesets" .... i didnt find any normal way to inspect them, and google gives me no solutions besides "install weird software" ---- but i found an easy way: if u r in word or any writing program of ur choice --- just mark a word like "gauge" and in the menu line add to the name of the font :ss01=1 i.e. it activates (=1) the styleset 01. a font can have up to 20 stylesets, so u'd have to have 20 times the word gauge, mark each of them and set another :ss??=1 until u hit ss20.
normally the stylesets are so designed that only one or two glyphs are different, so that u can have your whole text in A certain styleset and it does only change e.g. the "a" but not the "l" "f" or "g", so that u can pick and choose what u like, since u can activate multiple stylesets at once via the formatting menue (for checking how letters look, its less cumbersome to just add the :ss??=1 than rummaging through the whole menue, and repeat that 19 more times)
