My wife's been trying to get me to go there for years.
-
New York Giant, Baby!
-
I got my Rusted Proto Drake!
-
Man, back in my day we spent months at a time on a single boss trying to work our way through that achievement, and then we walked 5 miles through the snow.
-
You walked? I flew over it.

-
Just got back from the first session of the Figure Drawing course I'm signed up for. ART!

You can probably two man anything that doesn't require multiple players. That shit was a complete joke by the beginning of Cataclysm. It took us probably two months to do it in Wrath. In Cata we did it all in one night without a full raid before we got past the first couple bosses in T10 content.
-
If it means people like me, who can solo older raids for TranMorg gear, I am all for it.
-
Got a router that can do actual uPnP instead of just thinking it can. Don't have a large sample size of games played yet, but thus far we have two Xboxen with Open NAT at the same time.
-
I'm able to play multiplayer games again thanks the above. Such a relief. Stupid school internet, more like interbutt.
-
I just got an e-mail from the organizer of a GeekPortland GeekParty in Oregon, asking whether they can use questions from Atomic Trivia War 9000 between bands during their March 3 festival.
-
Two nights of Trenched in a row without a hassle. This router may have solved all our problems. :D
-
What router? Because I've been ready to introduce mine to a hammer for awhile now.
-
D-Link 665. Worked like a charm. All I had to do was set up static IPs for both Xboxes and enable UPnP and now everything just works. Finally.
-
D-link is the D-bomb! Never understood the hate for the brand on the internet. All my gear has been D-link and none has ever failed. Even my very first dsl modem still works.
-
Just found out that ITunes has two seasons of Bill Nye. So want to rewatch some of it. I consider that show (and some other PBS shows) some of the best time investment I ever made as a kid.
-
My wife made this awesome cake for Valentine's Day:
-
Madeleine Albright will be speaking at my school tomorrow. All of my teachers have been frothing at the mouth over this so I have high hopes.
-
I feel awesome because I'm not as dumb as these people http://literallyunbelievable.org/
-
You know I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be that gullible... The world would be such an awesome place.
-
Literally Unbelievable has been a bookmark on my phone's browser because oddly it doesn't make me angry. It make me feel better because I may be generally miserable but at least I'm not a complete fucking moron.
-
Isn't that worst, being aware of your misery and being unable to change it?
At least these people are happy and unaware. Like they say "ignorance is bliss". -
Yet they're still so angry about everything. At least I understand why I'm upset.

The Downton Abbey post makes my day.

Due to boredom and the fact that Multivariable Calculus is super easy, I have decided to challenge myself to do the entirety of this weeks homework in a base two number system. Lets hope my math teacher doesn't hate me to much for this.
-
Show off.
-
I'm also replacing all Pi symbols with smiley faces. Math needs to introduce the smiley face as a mathematical symbol.

Just so long as you explain how 1 + 1 = 10.kaazuwulf said:Due to boredom and the fact that Multivariable Calculus is super easy, I have decided to challenge myself to do the entirety of this weeks homework in a base two number system. Lets hope my math teacher doesn't hate me to much for this.
PS why do programmers always confuse Christmas and Halloween? BECAUSE DEC 25 = OCT 31!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!

If I really wanted to screw with my teacher I would do something like make up my own number system, some crazy shit like a base-7 system, make all the numbers come from the kryptonian alphabet, replace all the mathematical symbols, and make everything written down to up. Then I just include a guide and have my teacher decode my homework. The homework, math department guidelines, and the teachers sylibis never once specify the number system we have to use.
-
Or you could use a base-11 system and say you're trying to think like a Psychlo.

this sounds like an excellent way to get a F

Depends largely on the teacher. One of my favorite teachers in the math department would be totally fine with it. His idea final for the class was to test us by creating a brand new math system and give us the basic rules to how it works and then test us with problems in this system. The only reason he didn't is he didn't have time to create it. He also would regularly rant about the superiority of the binary number system.
-
Two hipsters on the debate squad wore the same shirt. It was great.
-
If a math teacher did that to me I'd probably file a formal complaint.
-
Why? His job is to teach you the structure of math and how to learn and think along those lines. Not tell you equations and have you spit them back at him. You can just read a text book for that. It's one of the reasons I hate college. It's become high school you pay for, for the most part. Bitching about a professor who would try to do more than that, is stupid.
-
Ya, that was his logic. testing you on you ability to think mathematically is a far better way to gauge your math skills then testing how well you remember a formula.
-
But that's how the system works, it's also why some Phd students come out as retards. Because they can't function at a real job, however most jobs tend to crush the enthusiasm out of you with tedious repetitious work.
I've got a Phd grad at my current workplace picking velocities, which is essentially playing connect the dots. And she's working as a casual, also her boyfriend works there too. And I graduated together with the boyfriend. And I'm bitter about not getting a Phd.
But I make more money then her... It's all good! -
Hmmm, that reminds me of a conversation with a grad student I had yesterday. He told not to pursue his field if study unless I couldn't possibly do anything else since the amount of studying is insane.

I just traded a carton of beer for a xbox kinect.
Good times! -
Wow, that was either some good beer or a great deal for you.
-
Is Corona considered good beer?
-
Meh. I drink it occasionaly but no.
-
If you got anything of value for a pack of Corona, you won that trade.
-
Score!
-
Corona is treated as a premium beer down here.
-
Gotta love that exchange rate.
