Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
Football blackout rules are nutty. CBS switched to a different game right before the field goal, and Sunday Ticket had the game blacked because it was "locally available" until after...
Subscripts don't really have a set meaning, they're just labels. Usually it's two instances of the same measurement. That looks like maybe geometry, so maybe the lengths of the top and bottom sides of a trapezoid?
Eta: it's a relief to me, flea! Algebra, it works.
Man, these refs are terrible.
Are you fucking KIDDING ME?
Sigh. Ran the September 5k today, and FELT like I ran quite a bit more than before...and was still almost a full minute slower than my July one. BOO! Now I'm all grumpy about it. I was really hoping the clock time was pretty far off the chip time, but apparently not. GRRRR.
Casper (4th grade) had homework on factoring and least common multiples recently, and it took a couple of minutes but I did manage to pull those concepts out of the basement of my brain. Soon I expect to be turning to Khan Academy (or, you know, my PhD in engineering husband) if she needs help. And I was good at math (Calculus A-B 5 in high school, baby!)
At least one of them is named Don King. That amuses me.
Must gird my loins and go back to Khan Academy (KHAAAN!) to try and finally figure out fractions. Sure, 40 years later, try to make sense of this stuff. But I hate staring at equations and feeling like an ignoramus.
Also, the Kansas City kicker is named "Succop", pronounced "suck up." Heh. Heh heh heh.
Heh. My facebook feed just erupted in "CHIEFS!!" Yes, this is how I follow sports.
If I type ill, it gives me "I'll" as a choice; same with there, they're and their.
Giving you a choice isn't the same thing as learning. Current iterations don't adapt to an individual user's swyping tics. When I put in "there" it's definitely not the same pattern as "they're". Swype doesn't really care too much, and is going to give me the exact same choice the 100th time as it did the 1st, even if I always choose "there" for that particular drag of the fingers.
I have to learn what *it* thinks is the right way to enter there, not vice versa. Not cool, computer, not cool.
However, I'm faster at it than my sister is at tapping, and my swyping is certainly faster than my tapping, so I'm fairly happy with it. But learning's the first thing I'd like to see improved.
