CRISPR[edit]

If you want to create a new article, it might be wise to first create a draft in your userspace, like here: User:DiamondDisc1/CRISPR. This way, you can expand the article as you like without having a small stub in mainspace.--JorisEnter (talk) 21:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't know that! - DiamondDisc1 (talk) 22:00, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Lah![edit]

"Lah" is grammatically a particle. It is used in Malay and in the regional Englishes of Malaysia and Singapore. It doesn't have any direct translation into standard English. Bongolian (talk) 06:47, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Bongolian! -DiamondDisc1 (talk) 22:02, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Signature[edit]

It'd be nice if you could link both to your userpage and your user talk page in your signature, rather than just plaintext. Eg: (Ir)RationalWiki User User talk:DiamondDisc1

Thanks. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 06:13, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

You might also want to create a subpage of your userpage with a title like "User:DiamondDisc1/sig" in which you can dump your signature, and then change your signature to be {{User:DiamondDisc1/sig}}. That would clean up the talk pages a bit. :)--JorisEnter (talk) 22:47, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks both of you! I'll get to work...after I finish celebrating becoming a sysop! ;)-DiamondDisc1 (talk) 22:49, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
As a side note, if you actually want your sig page to be used as your signature, you should add this in the preferences (top right of the screen, click "preferences", and add {{User:DiamondDisc1/sig}} to the "new signature" bar somewhere halfway down the list).--JorisEnter (talk) 22:27, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I'll add it when I'm done editing it.-(Ir)RationalWikian 06:58, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for your help.-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk)03:24, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Filler[edit]

So, you need more space filled on your talkpage :P. Welcome to Rationalwiki! What sort of topics are you interested in the most? CorruptUser (talk) 03:36, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

And before you ask, yes, I modeled my below topic on yours, here. But I had the idea to write here at the same time you did! Ha-HA! *rotates moustache* Reverend Black Percy (talk) 03:43, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Lol at both of your statements! The topics I like the most are, in no particular order:
  • Genetics
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Pretty much everything Science, as you can see.
  • Politics
  • (A little bit) Social Justice

Thanks for the filler :-)-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 04:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Stuffed padding[edit]

I hear you need more stuff & such on your talkpage. Welcome to RationalWiki - may I take your order? :3 All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 03:42, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the stuffed padding! :-)-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 04:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The welcome ceremony[edit]

Hi DiamondDicks1 DiamondDisc1! I noticed that you had taken the time to welcome two new accounts - awful nice of you. But I also wanted to point out that we don't normally Welcome, Unwelcome or Meh (the three templates we normally apply) any new account until they've actually made any contributions. This is because it's too early to tell what type of user they will be, if they will be doing anything at all. So, you know, don't revert those welcomes you gave them (no harm done), and the spirit of greeting new users is awesome. So it's not that. But for future reference, wait and see until new accounts make some contributions at all, just a few, and see what type of edits those were. Even a few spellchecks are enough for the Welcome template. And even a single page blanking or act of vandalism is enough for the Unwelcome or Meh templates. (also, I made that username joke because I had to - I meant nothing by it buddy). All the best, your pal Reverend Black Percy (talk) 18:12, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks pal! :)-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 22:55, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Are you Nordic?[edit]

So you say that you are not a +++Swede+++... And judging by your user-page you are not exactly fond of +++Danish designWikipedia+++. You are probably not Finnish or weird Finnish stuff (like Finnish grammar) would have come up at least once... So you are either Norwegian, Icelandic or not Nordic at all. But for some reason I still suspect you of being Nordic. So which is it? Or are you - goat forbid - Minnesota-Norwegian? I am not the Ombud's man 23:57, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

"It's something"[edit]

Hello! Since you petitioned me earlier about fixing up the CRISPR article, I'd just like to let you know I've made it a teetsy, tiny bit less ass bad. The videos are great, but it needs text to balance them out. Also, more sources. Also, more quotes. Also, more woo refutations. Basically, the article needs to become more than just a shell around two (excellent) videos. (Though the videos belong, obviously). All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 22:37, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Appeal to diamonds[edit]

Due to my not so great intellect, I have concluded that, possibly, you possibly like diamonds (possibly- still not fully sure...) if my conclusion was to be correct, may I ask you why do you like diamonds? I mean, what aspect(s) of diamonds makes them appeal to you. It's the shininess, isn't it? It must be the shininess. On a serious note, why do you like diamonds amigo? :).--WMS (talk) 23:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Drafts[edit]

Man, you've got a lot of nice work. I tried improving some stuff. You have no idea how hard it was to get all those figures on the Tennessee school district. RoninMacbeth (talk) 03:39, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@RoninMacbeth Yeah it must've been really hard. At least the ones in California are easier, since any proposed district has to have a report that shows they meet 9 criteria and both California districts put them online.-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 02:32, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Speaking of California, I read an article about Silicon Valley billionaires attempting to find ways to prolong their lives that seem woo-ish. Have you heard about that? RoninMacbeth (talk) 03:52, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
@RoninMacbeth Yeah, don't remember much other than it was clearly BS.-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 04:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

@RoninMacbethMmm not really, been too busy working on the school segregation draft. Could use some more help, as most of the proposed districts don't have much available data.-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 04:53, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
I'll help where able, but I'm learning how to program Python while also working on classes at my junior college, so assistance might be infrequent.

Strikethrough[edit]

Hello! It appears that when you withdraw a vote somewhere, putting your sig template inside the <s>...</s> thing stops the strikethrough turning off, meaning the whole rest of the page is struck through.

Quick question[edit]

Was this supposed to be a strikethrough (e.g. wifely)? CowHouse (talk) 14:55, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@CowHouse No, it was explaining the meaning of uxorial.-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 18:51, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough. It didn't really make sense as a strikethrough and I realised that's what you were doing shortly after I asked. If there's another word that more people will understand, would it not be a good idea to just change it rather than using the synonym as a reference? CowHouse (talk) 06:23, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Flat Earth[edit]

Dear Professor Diamond, I believe I have found some evidence for the flatness of the Earth. First of all, there is the flat-Earth approximation one learns in elementary physics, which consists of the familiar binomial expansion to leading order. Second, the uniformity of the strength of gravity on the surface of the Earth, hence . By Gauss's law for gravity, then, we conclude that not only is Earth flat, it is infinite. Third, geodesic surveys suggest that the shortest path between any two points on Earth is a straight line. Now, cylinders and cones are isometric to planes, but the Earth is neither conical nor cylindrical by the second piece of evidence. Sincerely, Nerd (talk) 22:48, 12 November 2017 (UTC).

@Nerd I see you have mastered the art of typing while drunk. Congratulations!-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 03:44, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Did you just assume which fermented product I consumed? Check your privileges! I swear to God I solved the Euler-Lagrange equations for the appropriate configuration then confirmed with the geodesic equations. Light travels in a straight line. Therefore, space must be flat and so is Earth. Nerd (talk) 03:36, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
@Nerd Most people are sane. But you're special.-【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 03:38, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
@DiamondDisc1 (Starry eyes) Did you say I'm "special"? You are so kind. Existence and uniqueness are notoriously hard to prove rigorously in general. Your professor for differential equations can tell you more. I can say with confidence, however, that I exist, am unique, and can be found in finitely many steps. Speaking of optical trajectories, please feast your eyes. Nerd (talk) 01:50, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
If you don't know what you're talking about, just send me a private email. I promise not to tell anyone. -【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 04:26, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
@Nerd My work has indicated the IQ of all Flat-Earthers or people who think they are special can be summed up very simply. Here are my results: (d/dx (9))*the integral of 82x^7 from x=2 to x=2+ (e^iπ) -【DiamondDisc1】 (talk) 04:24, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
@DiamondDisc1 Ah, a very simple equation. The derivative of a constant is zero. (Please consider using math mode like I did above. The code is identical to that of LaTeX.) But there is a problem. The IQ scale only applies to children, as the psychologist Alfred Binet, who invented it kept insisting. Binet was commissioned by the French government to devise a method that could identify children with special needs. Nerd (talk) 14:18, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

I can't believe PBS showed a footage of a toy car of some know-it-all floating in space after a successful rocket launch. The Earth does not look flat from outer space. Fake news! How does this guy succeed when a true believer in a flat Earth fails? They also admitted it looked like animation with (reusable) rockets landing (!?) in synchronicity. Ya think?

No!!! Logic is the very bedrock of the Universe. If logic is broken, Olympus will fall, Valhalla set ablaze, and the Frost Giants will cross the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard.
