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.
man, I've forgotten FUCKLOADS. I probably couldn't even do basic calc reliably anymore.
I spent some time looking at calculus stuff online a few months ago. The more I looked, the more came back to me, but I was amazed at how much I'd forgotten. (Even though I was once told the half-life for mathematical knowledge is 1.5 years.)
Let her shake! No water will get on you or the floor.
From the picture, it looks like it could also be used to decontaminate your dog if it's exposed to plutonium.
In tutoring my neighbor, I've been both pleasantly and un- by what comes back and what doesn't. Basic geometry rules tend to. Remembering that there was a reason for the rules governing the order you perform functions was an embarrassing one...
Honestly, a lot probably would come back were I to need it (with some refreshing.) It's just amazing how much time I invested, and how much I enjoyed stuff, and now I've forgotten it. I loved practical calc. I still think I have the mental understanding of things, if not the ability to actually do the calculations. I guess I still know how to approach it. So there's that.
I have 2 McDonalds within 7 minutes of my house (one's in a Walmart). But more impressive, I have 5 Tim Horton's (possibly 6) within the same 7 minute walk. 3 of them are in the same mall complex.
I am loving my TiVo. I have so much more crap TV to watch!
I think the writers strike is going to garner a lot of PBS-related posts from me... no tivo, no cable, dvd disinclination.
Oh look! A Meat House: [link]

Who is going to build the meathouse here?
Edit: Heh, too late, Kat!!
No, just reacting to something I'm watching on Frontline. Basically, it's about psych diags in kids and seems to have a bit of a slant towards the overdiag theory. And my personal filter is taking it wrong, I think. I do worry about that (I'm ridiculously resistant to drugs when my own person is involved.) Cause of my cousin and her fight to get effective psych care and coverage starting at 14 for severe bipolar, as well as some kids I've cared for who have really and truly needed what was tried starting when they were as young as 6, and the fight to get it. They weren't cases of overzealous diags or meds. So I get over-reacty at times.
There is high energy and moody and tantrums and then there is a 11 year old suicide.
THIS IS WHY I DELETED, darnit....
