Can PF Random Thoughts be Split to Help with Server Load?

Man... I'm so bored... I don't know what to do with my life anymore... XD

 

[lendav_rott]

I'm told there is something called "a life" that you can get from somewhere. I can't find them on sale on eBay though.

I have 200 h work done this month, legally I can't work a second longer. The weather went haywire, suddenly there's snow, a nasty wind - I can't even bother to go anywhere except swimming and playing snooker. Besides, this game is fun, I guess I can afford to not have a life once or twice a year :D

What we think were the motivations for SR:
-Reconcilation of mechanics with EM
-Symmetric treatment of time and space

Actual motivations for SR:
-So we didn't have to work with 4 different sets of units for EM anymore.

I did not understand ONE bit of this, but it sounds funny; I'll give you that one!

Don't let your grandsons turn all four of your flashlights into storage cylinders for dead batteries. Get rid of cable and upgrade to directTV.

I guess I am lucky that I didn't get grandsons with dog collars.

Oh my, I remember logging in about an hour ago... and nothing since then. If not for that phone call from the insurance sellers I would spend rest of the day concentrated.

it is -10'C outside, compared to yesterday's +5. Global climate change much, no?

I meet the wizard again today, this promises to be fun.

Although this wasn't the kind of fun I was looking for, but nevertheless I just can't stop laughing...

I want to laugh, what was it?

 

[Enigman]

want to laugh

Exactly that.
(ok, got that out of my system)
I've been just laughing for no reason at all for at least a few hours. I guess I'm just happy...

 

[drizzle]

Haha! well, glad you're happy.

Yes, I know it's kind of nerdy, but I still think it's fun :

I hear strong black coffee no sugar works well for hangovers. I don't drink coffee, though, never tried.

OMG! I know the Universe seems pretty empty, but I had no idea it was so stunningly, incredibly, utterly empty!

Earlier this week, scientists announced that a telescope observing faint echoes of the so-called "Big Bang" had found evidence of the universe's nearly instantaneous expansion from a mere dot into a dense ball containing more than 1090 particles. (my bolding)

May I assume that my future army of mahem robots will all assuredly have floating point microprocessors (FPU, colloquially a math coprocessor)? Should I continue to maintain a fixed point library or is it all just nostalgia?

[Edit: maybe I should start a new thread on this. It was just a random thought at first, but now that I think about it...]

you have a right to sue the place where you ordered it.

I was compensated with some ice cream, I guess that makes up for the serious health hazard.

Really? You mean, "Sorry about the razor - here, have some ice cream!"

What flavor ice cream?

My feet hurt from working until late night in the lab, and it was barely productive. But that's not why I'm sad.

I just received basically my first non A/A+ grades in a major class. An A- in algebra 2 and a B+ in upper div EM 1.

To be honest, I'm happy. I've always had a fear of not getting As. But you know what? I learned a lot. I took graduate courses, have been working on a senior paper, have been tutoring, have been grading homeworks, and I've been living.

I'm happy and relieved in a weird way. Could I have studied more and gone for those As? Yeah, but I've been too busy with the graduate class and research. I had a total of 20 units and 4 of them were grad.

I mean the main thing is I DID learn. I had fun and learned. My GPA overall will still be around 3.7, and my major/minor GPA will still be something like 3.8/9. I'm happier than I would be if I had gotten As. Just because I'm so relieved.

I mean also, I had fun. I had quite a few nights of smoking and drinking with friends and enjoying life. I can get so caught up in being "smart", like it's a part of me. I'm glad I didn't this time. I'm happy.

 

[johnqwertyful]

I should be graduating soon and hopefully going to grad school (applying in the Fall, have one quarter or so left).

This might sound arrogant, but I guess I'm kind of moving beyond that kinda stuff now. I've been working on research and graduate classes and spending a lot of time on those, along with learning my own stuff. I posted earlier I was invited to lecture at a seminar for advanced graduate students and professors, which I'm excited for. My graduate class is crazy hard. I mean the stuff I'm learning in algebra and EM is important, and I'm learning it, I just don't feel the need to kill myself over getting out the last few points.

 

[lendav_rott]

I got As in my classes and I never cared for it :/ I don't get it, what is the fuss about? Does getting an A somehow say that in practice you will perform better?

 

[WannabeNewton]

Wait is "Random Thoughts" also "Rant about grades and flaunt arrogance"...? My how things have changed.

 

[Ripley]

Haha seems to be!

Currently watching world war z and eating donuts. The film isn't too bad but has far too many plot holes for my liking. Most people refuse to watch films with me as I point out why things wouldn't happen or inconsistancies throughout.

I'm going to look at some kittens later. They are not ready to leave their mum yet but I'm considering getting two.

I have been worried about him for a while. I just sent him an email. I hope I'll get a reply.
