Woolie Ram! How are you?

After 3 weeks in hospital they finally found the tablets they were giving me caused me to have low blood pressure, so they changed my meds.
I may have to go back to the OTHER hospital though.

Nice to see you again. :biggrin:
 
Sorry to hear about the health problems, Woolie. Hope you get a doctor that actually pays attention and monitors your condition before and after starting you on the new meds.

Be well!
 
Welcome back Woolie :smile:! Glad you're feeling better.
 
Glad to see you around :smile:
 
Should it be a thing? :biggrin:

Welcome back wolram. :smile:
 

Going through my mind thanks to the new photo contest.
Welcome back! :smile:

^^I have never heard this song before and I do not like it at all, I understand how it can stick in your head though, simple refrain, rhythmic repetition. This happened to me with "The Thong Song." I actually stopped listening to the radio because I could not escape it even on the rock station LOL and then I ended up liking it -_- but I hate it again now :biggrin:

The question was "things you love to hate" and half the responses mention Wolram. I don't love to hate you Wolram. In fact I'm pretty PO'd at myself over it.

Half smoked cigarettes on the street. When I see one I do the "Happy Dance" on it. :biggrin:
 
  • #18
I remember times when half smoked cigarettes lying on the streets were a delicious rarity.

Not that I ever collected them, but I knew people who did.

Meeting a tourist on the corner and being asked where the Empire State Building is. :rolleyes:
I just point straight up while looking them in the eyes.

And I use to be a smoker. Now I know too many people sick from them so I more than hate them. I do feel a sense of guilt knowing someone is scrounging for something to smoke. They are around 12.00 a pack here now.

Just about anything I don't love, I love to hate. Things I really hate I ignore.. unless I have to step over it.

Which ghetto are you referring to?

specifically the flats of oakland (from downtown to san leandro,below macarthur), though there are a lot in the bay area.

never gets old seeing 5 thuggish dudes parading without their shirts on, ghetto booty, collection of students on the corner, ridiculous cars, and of course, the fights and general stupidity.

I don't love it, but I hate when wolram doesn't post and disappears.

Wolram, you must tell us if you are going to be out of touch. I get so many pm's about how you're doing!

I hate when I call a company to arrange a prescription refill, etc, and have to spend 10 minutes wading through their ridiculous menu system, and still can't get an actual human. I pay for the wait and the irritation, and the company I'm calling probably gets a nice fat kick-back from the phone company.

Sometimes, however, they just repeat the menu when 0 is pressed, and when this happens and I have already been through half the menu, my phone hits the wall with a considerable force.

This freakin breaks my heart.
I was a member of the Oakland community growing up. I remember as a young person someone attacking grandpa in the garage. We knew back in the 60's the area was changing. We were only a few blocks from Lake Merit. It was so beautiful then.

I really hate the word "spicket" and I hate to hear people saying it Maybe because it is not really a word...but it drives me crazy!

"Oh we can put a spicket there and there and " GAH

People who call \epsilon and \Sigma "e".

People who spell \pi "pie". "pie" \approx 8.53973422.

No way...have you really encountered this?

Yes! :cry:

And every time I die a little bit on the inside. At least half the people in my classes call \varepsilon_0 "e nought" or "e zero". Or summation notation "the E thing".

Hey, look, there's a spicket!
Ooh, another spicket!
What's this? It's a spicket!

I can understand calling epsilon "e" but capital sigma? It looks more like a Z to me.

Yeah I was thinking the only people who would even care about epsilon and sigma enough to talk about it are those who are learning stuff using them...I think they're just doing it for fun lol "The Z looking E thing" :-p n! lololll

Select response:

1. Mwahaha!
2. I'll take that as a compliment.
3. Imagine the number 0.999... and imagine that inside each 9 was the word spicket.
4. Bah, who cares what you think?

You have selected all of them!

Recommended course of action: run.

I love the word spicket. But that must be my czech background. I think in czech it would be pronounced -watermellon.

It's a variation of the word spigot.

OK that's it! I'm packing my stuff and heading north. I always knew I was on the wrong part of the globe.

The second would be the cosine.

Maybe you're on the wrong globe completely.
Borek said:

No, you have to dig into the ground to get there. Going north gets you to the Artic Ocean.

It is almost an every day thing that something negative is happening. It is quite sad...

Lake Merritt is really gross now. The area (around lakeshore) is actually very nice, but the lake itself is, well, pretty much a septic tank...
