Go off to read e-mail and the thread turns...
I'd drive that girly convertible in a heartbeat. But I'm easy like that.
Emily, I'm always up for mathy chat.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Cryptic: Hec and I are having LUNCH on July 9. I think. This delights me no end.
Um, yay?

Totally intrigued by the concept of an ASSCAP lunch.
I think that LUNCH=nooner
Haven't we used this thread name before?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So how is everyone? We've got more mini-Buffistas, and a married Jon! Coolness!
I'm doing okay. JZ has a sexy cool new haircut. I've gotten over the hump of major work stress. Emmett's Mom just got a job offer after a year of unemplyoment (which had a huge negative impact on my finances). Emmett was invited to play on his Little League's Tournament Team (all-stars, basically). I love summer. So much better than winter.

It's yay. JZ's Dad bought us a lunch date at a charity auction with a local columnist (Jon Carroll) that we both like.
I think that LUNCH=nooner
Nope. However, JZ's Dad also bought us a night at a fancy hotel at a different charity auction. Maybe we should use that on a weekday and check in at lunch.

My best guess here was that someone was doing some kind of pledge where people would throw copies of the upcoming Harry Potter book at him.
Okay, -t, so let's say we've got a graph of airplane velocity. From time 0 to time 0.5 (hours) it goes directly up from 100 to 600 mph. From 0.5 to 3.5 it does 600 mph. From 3.5 to 4.5 it goes directly down from 600 to 100 again. What's the total distance it travels, and how do you go about getting it?
Yes, this should be easy. Apparently, however, I got it all wrong.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
BF and I are starting TV-less Tuesday tonight. We decided we were spending too much time watching TV and/or videos--we go out once or twice a week to movies as it is. Cinema is awesome and all, but reading and taking walks and stuff like that was getting lost in the shuffle. Looking forward to it--even though tonight's planned highlight is "wash the dog."
ETA--hooray for EM having a job and better financials for Hec and Gamine!JZ!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have a DVR, Robin?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's the total distance it travels, and how do you go about getting it?
You could integrate the first and third parts, and add them to 3 x 600 to get the total distance. But I'm pretty sure there's a way not involving integration....
eta: I think it's OK to take the average speed for each of the first and third parts to calculate the distance for each.
But my brain is a little sluggish today....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yes, this should be easy. Apparently, however, I got it all wrong.
Well, you're starting from a false premise. Aircraft start at 0 mph, not 100. Or it it's the take off speed, most planes that can do 600 mph need to be going a bit faster than 100 to get off the ground in the first place. :)
