[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 [00:50:31] <kmath> YouTube - 4th July 2012, Seminar at CERN Update on the Higgs Boson searches at the LHC, 4th July 2012 [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 [04:55:05] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:19:33] <JVFoxy> zoom zoom?
