Sure, but you gotta admit that when you first start to build up an understanding of something it does require a certain amount of recall...

Balarka Sen

Nah

Being able to remember something is a side effect of understanding, not the cause

user685252

New knowledge is built on old.

Touché @Slereah

In my opinion, memorizing is a crutch for understanding @Mithrandir24601 once i get a deeper understanding I can throw away the crutches :-)

@Kaumudi.H Here's an interesting thing.A wave function will be of the form $f(\vec{k}.\vec{r}-\omega t)$, where $\vec{r}$ is the position vector of a point. Now, if we look at all the points with same phase, then $\vec{k}.\vec{r}$ is a constant, which implies that the set of points with same phase are planes with area vector in the $\vec{k}$ direction, which means you'r wave is effectively travelling in the $\vec{k}$ direction.

@JohnR: Just now, I literally cried because I am starving.

ACuriousMind

@Kaumudi.H Then eat something!

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H :-(

Would eating something be out of the question?

user228700

There is nothing to eat, you see.

user228700

The shops are all closed and I have nothing but those rotten biscuits at hand.

ACuriousMind

They're all closed? What about fast food?

(Also, why are they closed? Is it a holiday in India?)

user228700

11:38 AM

Never before have actual tears (accompanied, of course, by a runny nose) sprouted at a lack of availability of food. There has always been something to eat.

user228700

@ACuriousMind I have no friggin' clue as to why they are closed.

ACuriousMind

All shops closing for no discernible reason sounds...ominous

user228700

Not all of them, to be clear-the one's on "campus" is what I really mean.

ACuriousMind

And I'm guessing it's a long trip to some place off-campus where you could get food? Because if it's not, definitely consider that instead of staying hungry!

user228700

@ACuriousMind Nothing near enough, man. In the afternoon, I went to a vegetarian restaurant around 3 Kms away, to find that it was populated by a hoard of seniors. I struggled some, to find a less conspicuous seat, so that I wouldn't get ragged. The food wasn't even very good, so I asked them to pack half of it, so that I could have the rest for dinner, and left in a hurry, before any of the more problematic seniors spotted me.

user685252

11:43 AM

Drink LOTS of water, till you can find food.

ACuriousMind

@user685252 That might make you feel more full but it won't actually do much good

user228700

@ACuriousMind It is quite a way away-I have an exam tomorrow and don't fancy a 6-8 Km walk :-/ In the afternoon, I borrowed my friend's scooter but I highly doubt if she'd let me borrow it again, without at least a hint of hesitation and/or judgement.

user685252

It's a temporary solution.

You need food.

ACuriousMind

@Kaumudi.H Well, before you ask friends you lend you their scooter you could ask for some food! I certainly wouldn't let my friends starve

user228700

They don't have anything, I think. Besides, I did post a status about this starvation-crying situation, which several of my friends from hostel seem to have seen, but none responded...

user685252

11:47 AM

First, you need to calm down...

user228700

x'D I am calm.

user685252

...try some water.

user228700

I even ate two bananas!

ACuriousMind

Hm, so there's a hostel full of ravenously hungry students right now? I guess then it's time to start drawing lots who gets eaten first ;)

user228700

(It was the only food I could find when I ventured out to get anything to eat)

user685252

11:48 AM

:O

user228700

@ACuriousMind No, no, they're not hungry or anything, they ate from the canteen.

ACuriousMind

Which appears to not be an option for you else you'd have taken it. That sucks

user228700

Yepp, exactly. Thanks for your sympathies :-) I wish I could eat them.

user228700

@JohnR: No chocolate either! (Obviously) ;_;

ACuriousMind

@Kaumudi.H "them" = "your fellow students"? ;D

user685252

11:53 AM

Think of ways for this to never happen again :-)

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H I'll happily order you a takeaway if there's a restaurant near you that does online orders ...

user228700

@JohnRennie :-) You're so kind, but no, there are none.

user228700

@ACuriousMind -.- What is this dream you are starting to see, in which this hostel kills itself overnight?

ACuriousMind

@Kaumudi.H I like trashy horror movies, and this sounds like a wonderful plot for one ;)

user228700

Ah, yes, I remember you saying something about how you get together with friends to watch trashy horror movies.

ACuriousMind

11:56 AM

(I also wanted to nitpick that "them" in your sentence had nothing else it could refer to grammatically, but that's beside the point :P )

@Kaumudi.H Indeed, you remember correctly :)

Balarka Sen

B horror movies are the best horror movies

user685252

Is Obama still in India?

ACuriousMind

@BalarkaSen The B stands for Balarka.

Balarka Sen

I take that as a compliment

Or, perhaps a complement

user228700

@ACuriousMind :-P Well, grammar aside, I meant to say that I wish I could eat your sympathies!

ACuriousMind

11:59 AM

@Kaumudi.H Ahhhhhh. That actually works grammatically, it just never crossed my mind you might mean that!

user228700

:-P

@MLK: about the new Blade Runner? Yes, its a great homage to the original movie.

Balarka Sen

I should see the original one

user228700

Nope, no vegetarian burgers. AAAAARGH.

user685252

Just eat the bun!

Fries?

Mozibur Ullah

@MLK: I thought the original had a bit more heart, but that might just be because I saw that first ;).

user228700

Ah, if only I had at least the satisfaction of having finished revision or something.

GAH, when you build your order and then they tell you that they don't deliver to the given address.

John Rennie

Father of burgers ???

ACuriousMind

You ordered the father of all classic veggie burgers?

Balarka Sen

It's a tongue-and-cheek way of saying it's the Big Burger.

user228700

12:25 PM

Hahaha, they mean to emphasize that it is no ordinary burger, it is the biggest, most powerful of them all...which is to say that yeah, it's pretty huge, as Balaraka says :-P

ACuriousMind

@BalarkaSen *tongue-in-cheek

John Rennie

As in the mother of all wars only more masculine and less bellicose?

Burgers ...

ACuriousMind

Now you're hungry? :P

user228700

What are you "damn..."ing about?! No burgers in town today? Lunch is soon, no?

skullpatrol

A server?

John Rennie

12:28 PM

@ACuriousMind I always fast on Mondays (for reasons that I don't wish to defend as they are less than logical) so it is nearly 48 hours since I last ate. I am feeling a tad peckish :-)

Balarka Sen

Post-rock is a musical genre where there's way too many albums to pick out the ones with original, fresh sounds.

Which kinda sucks, it's a good style

ACuriousMind

"tad peckish" of course being British for "I'm starving", eh?

user228700

@JohnRennie Wait, what? I've known you for 1+ year and 25% of our conversations are about food, how have I not known this?!

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H I've told you many times ...

skullpatrol

He told us.

I might have an Indian feast on Monday.

Apparently this fasting is a new development :P

John Rennie

I generally fast on Mondays

user228700

:-/ Damn.

skullpatrol

12:31 PM

One good meal per day, right?

John Rennie

@ACuriousMind that was a bank holiday Monday. Fasting is suspended on holidays :-)

skullpatrol

Fasting one day per week is good for your system.

John Rennie

@Kaumudi.H post of picture of your daddyburger when it arrives!

@skullpatrol I do it because I eat huge meals at the weekend so by Monday morning I'm feeling pretty bloated. After fasting on Monday I feel a lot more energetic. You should see me run to the supermarket :-)

Balarka Sen

Explosions in the Sky doesn't ring with me for some reason. I haven't found them particularly fascinating.

Oh well

John Rennie

As it happens there is a supermarket next door to the shop where I'm picking up my new pushbike, so I'll combine getting a pushbike with getting lunch. But the pushbike isn't ready until 15:00 ...

user228700

12:37 PM

@JohnRennie Hehe, will do! :-)

Mozibur Ullah

1:00 PM

Any explosions nearby, never mind in the sky, would get my attention.

user228700

It's only 2 Kms away, why is it taking so ruddy long?!
