I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Like learn to shoot and surf at the same time?

That could be the summer olympics version of the biathlon.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's one of the funniest x-posts I've seen in a long time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was about to call Jesse a freak, but look! Company!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How's yer surfing?

Nonexistent. But, see, I don't have ANY of the skills you have, so it's funny that I (once) had the skills you lack. See, funny?

That may be the first Biathalon cross post in the history of the Internet.

Hee!

I have always loved the idea of the biathalon. It's so practical and non-sporty.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

In case there's anyone around who knows this, I have a trigonometry question:

I know cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1, and therefore cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 x but in one of the examples in my book they seem to have gone from (cos^2 x + 1) to sin^2 x in one step, and I'm confused. Shouldn't (cos^2 x + 1) = -sin^2 x? Or am I missing something?

Only this year, only this year. What else can you do? I'm still compiling the 2006 list.

The percentage of cars with stick seems to still be dropping.

I wonder if the fully manual transmission might go away at some point with automatic-clutch manual transmissions starting to become more numerous. There's like five transmission choices now, manual, automatic-manual, automatic, CVT w/o torque converter, CVT w/ torque converter. I think there's another type on some French car, but I can't remember for sure.

That's crazy. I love the stick shift.
