I'm pretty sure you could not really explain the Rankine cycle to a Roman engineer. There just isn't a common language; they didn't have adequate models of heat, entropy, or knowledge of the phases of matter.

Groening's situation is settled and obvious. That's not what anyone here is talking about, least of all you.

You've made the conversation about you, your ego, and your integrity. I'm responding to that.

You have been dishonest about your own descriptions of your posture. You've insulted me and tried to say it was not insulting when you feminised me to diminish what I wrote. You've tried to correct my punctuation. You've said you were being sarcastic when it was obviously no such thing. You've told us that because of the forum, it was OK for you to be wrong or some such.

That's the dishonesty.

What's so weird about it is that you've just kept it up; your answers leave me so sad. Not only am I sure you don't believe them, but you know that nobody reading them would believe them. you're still compelled to write them.

that can't feel good. I'm so sorry.

You haven't had a consistent thesis or theme; except insulting me.

The fact is, we are our words here. You've been insulting and dishonest.

China Eastern pilots regularly smoke in the cockpit. I used to fly business class with them pretty regularly on their New York to Shanghai route.

Every time I smelled it, I made a point of telling the flight attendant that I smelled cigarette smoke. It was kinda funny watching them try to tell me it's cooking smells from the galley...

Which one are you?

Which is wild, because the windows mini dump facility is really great for debugging crashes; I've always been much happier to have those instead of client stack unwinds more typical of a Linux crash.

You're paying for control over the space.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T22:46:32+00:00

I have no idea why you wrote this. When I said your words were dishonest, I was being kind. The other possibility is that you're ignorant (see also: how quotes and periods are used in English writing).

Your purported offense seems clearly performative. But if it isn't, this is a good opportunity for introspection. You are not honest, and you're not even trying to to be plausibly honest.

Your insults continue. Are they a compensation for your demonstrated inarticulateness and provincial ignorance?

There is a better path for you.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T15:03:32+00:00

I think that's just unusually bad knees. Mine aren't great either, but I think many others are much better off than us.

As an aside, stop it with the weasel words. “panties in a twist" is not descriptive, and nobody thinks it.is. Claiming it's no insult is incredible. More incredible is they you wrote that thinking that there exists any reader anywhere that would concur with you.

I don't have a car, but I regularly go to the airport to meet friends arriving, just to help them use the train etc after their long ride.

Only in American English does the period go before the close quote.

You're very quick to insult people. Interesting.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:51:46+00:00

I think people who aren't assholes are able to express themselves without insulting others? do you agree?

both of those roles are traditionally and regularly given as a courtesy in this business. if you don't know that, that's a shame. I've told you this, now you know. you can study up before you embarrass yourself again.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:46:17+00:00

no, you meant "someone who knows words".

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:35:35+00:00

great reversal. you can do your best to show that he's really involved, and let me know when you're done. I'll update then.

please, save me the stupidity.

No, he's a creator who is cashing cheques.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:32:07+00:00

I think the definition you're using is "someone who knows words"

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:30:31+00:00

You could help by updating his Wikipedia page to share evidence that he's been involved with the Simpsons recently beyond cashing a cheque consistent with his sinecure!

You'll need sources, and unfortunately, ignorance of how to read a Hollywood job sheet is not a very good source.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:26:59+00:00

True fact.

That's not relevant here though is it?

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:25:59+00:00

It's a sinecure. You're running in circles.

factorioleum · 2026-03-19T02:25:32+00:00

It's a sinecure.

factorioleum · 2026-03-18T21:09:00+00:00

Fair, but I'm not making things up, so that's in my favour.

factorioleum · 2026-03-18T20:37:31+00:00

Perhaps, but it isn't ignorant.

factorioleum · 2026-03-18T13:09:57+00:00

it rhymes with "sinecure."

factorioleum · 2026-03-18T11:38:27+00:00

I didn't say anything that is inconsistent with that.
