Mahnax

@KitFox Enjoy your superiority.

Hi @kit @mahnax. Why are you people here on Sat?

KitFox

Getting ready for bed.

Last night was difficult.

So I'm thinking a little TV before bed, but my husband wants to watch baseball.

So I decided to netflix it up in the bedroom.

They've got Law and Order now, so there's no reason for me to ever leave the house.

user19161

Ah. If one wants to watch this and the other that, just watch nothing and have sex instead. QED.

KitFox

No, there will be no sexual relations tonight.

user19161

Haha, I can't believe I am so funny that I am the only one laughing.

KitFox

Well, enjoy it. Good night!

@KitFox Good night!

@ClarkKent Hi! I had to go help my mom with her Stats stuff, but I'm here for now.

@KitFox this is a sentiment i can agree with

do they have SVU?

Mahnax

@ClarkKent This is university statistics.

user19161

3:44 AM

@Mahnax Oh? So what did you do exactly?

user19161

@JSBᾶngs What's SVU?

user19161

@KitFox My favourite drama is The Wonder Years.

Mahnax

@ClarkKent I reminded her that there was a square root sign present.

Then she got the right answer. She is very tired.

user19161

@Mahnax Oh I see. There was once I was confused with what the square root sign means. Then I learnt it referred only to the positive root and not the negative one.

Mahnax

@ClarkKent Huh.

user19161

3:52 AM

Whoa you deleted that? No need to be so secretive.

Mahnax

sqrt(x)=x^(1/2)

(Not in the mood for special characters).

@ClarkKent is secretive

I felt rude.

user19161

@Mahnax Well I mean that although -2 and 2 both give 4 when squared, when we use the square root symbol with 4 it represents 2 only.

Mahnax

@ClarkKent Oh, that's what you mean. Yes, I can see that being confusing.

@KitFox You're lucky to have that and Hulu in the US!

Cerberus

Use Tunnelbear and you can watch Hulu and the BBC.

But Hulu's commercials can't be skipped by Adblock (the BBC's can).

Alenanno

We're so far I think the service quality is going to suffer from that...

Cerberus

10:23 AM

Nonsense, Hulu works fine.

You probably need a US postal address for Netflix.

Q: Correct use of "rid of"

From what I understood, "rid of" is used when I want to express that particular object will be disposed of something. Get rid of something, on the other hand, does not specify the object. According to the aforementioned, I found few examples that I do not understand: Need to rid of this yeast in...
