  Unsure if… fuck it I’ll just blow it open.

  The context is that log~e~ has a shortcut called “ln”, that is L N, said lawn, for “natural logarithm” (but not in English)

  And so the joke is that “ln” looks like “in” in this context.

    So this is really a font joke, stupid fonts that make the I and l look the same.

    I always set my defaults to Tahoma for this reason.

    Yes I know the joke. I was just pointing out that the “I” in “in” seems to be capitolized for no reason.

      …it’s not a capital “i”, it’s a lowercase L. Thus the joke; it’s “I’m LN” instead of the usual “I’m in”.

        Yes I know the joke. It’s an “I” in the subtitles I’ve watched the show twice over.

    In several mathematical notation systems, the most important being APL/J, programming languages inspired to codify “tools of thought” notation as code, the log function is ln. 10&log is base 10 log.

  Its probably edited. The dialogue is real though.
