[00:38:15] <Cranium> raptop: no pictures, 4/10
[00:38:39] <Cranium> rather, no "non-math pictures"
[00:39:31] <raptop> Cranium: Would would even go in there, various artist's renditions?
[00:39:33] <Cranium> to be clear, there are only TWO pictures in linked matreial
[00:39:52] <Cranium> material*
[00:39:59] <packbart> no comic sans, either?
[00:41:11] <Cranium> I didn't spend 32 years of my life to not have all relevant interesting cosmic infrastructure explained to me in a neat and interesting comic
[00:41:17] <Cranium> I am, after all
[00:41:20] <Cranium> a millenial
[00:41:25] <Cranium> (sp)
[00:41:44] Action: packbart remembers a presentation of results from the LHC - in Comic Sans on a brown backgroun
[00:42:08] <packbart> it really focuses the attention on the numbers
[00:42:38] <Cranium> wait what? I must have missed that.
[00:42:53] <Cranium> that's too memeable to not ahve caught my interest
[00:44:02] <packbart> https://indico.cern.ch/event/164890/contributions/248518/attachments/198416/278553/ATLAS-Higgs.pdf
[00:44:28] <packbart> well, it is a meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/343967-comic-sans
[00:44:40] <Cranium> my god, is this actually from the ATLAS collaboration?
[00:45:01] <Cranium> wow, that's nuts
[00:45:27] <Cranium> it's almost as if nobody from CERN had any exposure to the internet for the last decade
[00:46:21] <Cranium> though to be honest, we all know that this powerpoint came from a single researcher in CERN.
[00:47:01] <Cranium> the data was fact-checked, but no doubt the presentation material must have been provided by only one official
[00:47:31] <packbart> it was live-streamed around the world ;)
[00:47:40] <Cranium> oof
[00:47:55] <Cranium> though again, let's be fair to the individual
[00:48:15] <Cranium> only one person was responsible for the actual content of the powerpoint
[00:48:42] <Cranium> you can almost guarantee nobody checked the presentability of the content, only the data
[00:49:06] <Cranium> still though, this is the first I've hard of it, and it is making me giggle
[00:50:31] <packbart> I think it was just a "feature" of all Atlas presentations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tnd8bxDYOs&t=51m12s

[01:37:54] <Cranium> well i'm going to say something a bit controversial
[01:38:09] <Cranium> Comic-sans isn't a terrible font
[01:39:02] <Cranium> it's perfectly legible, and has a certain flair to it that some people would ignore simply due to the controversy surrounding it
[01:39:55] <Cranium> the problem stems from people overusing it for more official-oriented purposes, where a happier-style font is not remotely warranted
[01:41:11] <Cranium> while the font may have a hand-written style to it, too many people use it for business-oriented uses, while they should be considering more 'official'-oriented fonts
[01:41:31] <Cranium> that does not dismiss the utility of a more casual style of font however
[01:43:08] <Cranium> comic-sans is still a well-crafted font that unfortunately has been used in very improper ways due to it's widespread availability and readability
[01:43:43] <Cranium> if you ask me, comic-sans is a victim of its own success and popularity
