[Frumple]

Just noticed I've apparently osmosis internalized the rough shape of (most of) the dewey classifications. 000-100s are like certain sorts of instruction manuals and standalone encyclopedias and shit, 200s are religion and philosophy, 300s are political crap, 400s true-crime and similar junk (I think, this one I'm least sure about, iirc some military stuff is either there or 300s), 500s are medical et al, 600s gardening and pet care and crap, 700s arts and entertainment (cookbooks and decorations, some self-help, sports, sometimes manga, etc.), 800s literature-y stuff (poetry, criticism, sometimes specific classic works, technically all fiction but nowhere I've seen actually does that), 900s history/geography.

I've made no attempt to actively memorize or learn that. It's apparently happened just from doing cataloging work for about a year now, without particularly trying, and I don't think I could have rattled it off even last week. Snuck up on me, some crime drama crap my grandparents were watching mentioned encoding a dewey number and it was just like, click. Friggin' weird.

I don't really give a damn about dewey classifications even (I do mostly copy cataloging, generally some else assigns the number and I don't have to care), but here I am anyway.

I recently learned that the Swedish bibliotecary system was exchanged for the American Dewey system.

And it outraged me! This is cultural imperialism!

Scriver if you had to buy either a skůb, a bild, or an omtåksan without knowing what any of them are, what would you get?

Holy crap, I just started watching Medical Police. Not what I expected at all.   
...Just to be clear, this is a good thing, since I expected it to be utter shit. That's the first WTF, the second WTF is that the show itself is a big, hot load of WTF that sprays itself over the viewer's face and leaves them wondering WTF they just watched and why they can't stop watching more. Also it has some great actors.

Isn't that the same people who made Children's Hospital?

can I answer? If yes, Skub
If/when Scriver answers, will you reveal what the 3 things are?

Sorry, didn't see this because of page break disorder

Also I would get a skůb, because it sounds like a kind of boat.

A bild is a picture so I can't pretend it sounds like something that isn't what it is, because it is

And omtåksam has the ending of an adjective and sounds like omtänksam, which means thinkaboutsy, (as in to think or care about somebody like "I knew you would want a cup of tea too so I put on enough water for us both") and who has need for kindness am I right?

So I'll get a skůb and sail the seven seas

I think he's just putting up nonsense words (except for bild, which is a real word, but that's probably not intentional) that sounds like Swedish or another Scandinavian language.

Of course ů isn't a real letter in the alphabet so you fail Chairman!

[ChairmanPoo]

I was actually taking a stroll through Ikea after eating




It *might* have been an ontänksam instead of an ontäksam.  But Im sure it was a skůb.

Anyways since my new tamron lens arrived I ended up procastinating the decision for now but I will bear your words in mind and consider skůbs in the future

[scriver]

Ah, that makes sense

But no skub

It might have been skrubb, which means both scrubbing and also small corner of a room/in-the-wall cupboard

But most likely it was "skåp", which means cupboard or closet

And å is also the only letter in the alfabet which has that kind of schwung on top of it

[ChairmanPoo]

Next time I go to Ikea I'll take a pic of the skub

I think so, since I saw one of the characters on the cover for it on IMDB last night. I'd never seen it or probably even heard of it, though.

Also I'm going with omtåksan. Do you take Paypal?

Sigh... got called a Nazi for being to the right of Stalin. Despite, you now, being fairly anticapitalist, supprting LGBT and other minority rights, and wanting to absolutely crush fascism. Like, what the hell? This is where I am on the political compass, roughly (but 8values is superior, there I got Democratic Socialism).

What was the stance your misinformed Godwinsner just couldn't get past?
