'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Cryptic: Hec and I are having LUNCH on July 9. I think. This delights me no end.
Um, yay?
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.
Only 6 more HBPs to break the record: Plunk Biggio*
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.
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!
Do you have a DVR, Robin?
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....
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. :)
We have TiVo (and worship it like unto a God), but what with The Daily Show and Baseball games and various movies, things pile up.
BF and I are starting TV-less Tuesday tonight.
I interpret your choice of day thusly: "Dammit, if Buffy's not on Tuesday night, then fuck Tuesday altogether!"
.5*350 + 3*600 + 1*350
I think.
