Minor spoilers for How to Train Your Dragon 2:

Was watching this tonight with a few friends, and we were discussing cliches and the like post film. I said "After he mentioned never knowing him mother near the start of the film, I thought it was inevitable he'd bump into her."

On of my friends replied: "Yeah, that's just Chekhov... Chekhov's mum."


I was much impressed by the pun.
Wrong thread? Kinda?

Well, where else could it possibly go? Random Stuff for a random pun seems appropriate to me.

Oh, yeah. Still, it's not really movie related. It's more just random stuff.

Actual randomness.  At least, probably pseudo-randomness:

You might have expected this quote would reappear after some time. That's because it's Chekhov's pun

This reminds me of a dream I had about a week ago where I was trying to get on a freeway but there was a giant giraffe in the way on the on-ramp.  Then I wasn't in my car any more and then I was running away from it because I thought it was going to sneeze on me, and then I had to do this crazy thing to get around it and jump onto the freeway.  Then I was just running down the freeway even though everyone else was driving on it, but somehow I was fast enough to keep up with traffic.

You did the right thing by running from the sneeze.  I can attest from personal experience, it is not pleasant getting sneezed upon by a large ungulate.

I recognize that this post now becomes fodder for the "out of context" thread.

It doesn't sound cool to me at all, that's not a very nice place to live in.

I got Roman Catholic Diocese of Long Xuy, which is a diocese around Ho Chi Min Cit. 6% of that population's area is catholic, that's a little less that I would have expected I suppose.

You know what really grinds my gears?  When people do things that they recognize is more complicated and do it anyways.

Example:  Me writing a MATLAB script, I use "!=" to mean "not equals", like every other programming language out there.  It puts a red squiggly under that telling me it is wrong.  I mouse over it and it says "In MATLAB, Not equals is represented by '~='"  Really?  You recognize what I'm trying to do, even took the time to code a tip telling me I was wrong.  Why not just use the standard most other languages use? Ugh

Something else that's incredibly annoying is when you're trying to do something for hours, then find the solution is really simple (when you've tried a bunch of more complicated solutions too).  I have spent hours trying to figure something out, and I learned it was as simple as a single command in the terminal.

So I was watching this video on natural remedies for sinus issues when I got to 4:10 and my eyes popped out of my head.

MATLAB actually does that a lot. It tries to conform to standard mathematical notations (like ~ for not), but there's no reason it shouldnt accept standard programming notation as well. I actually have the opposite problem though. Almost all of my coding is in MATLAB so when I code in a real language, it takes me a while to debug sometimes for stupid MATLABy reasons.

I would say ¬ is the standard for boolean not. ~ is the standard for bitwise not.

BTW, I am not sure how standard != is, but I guess just C/C++, Java and Python are enough to call it standard. I remember at least <> and /= being used as well for "not equals to".
