If a train is moving at 90 miles an hour and a bird flies in a perpendicular direction at 50% of its maximum velocity, how much does aedia wish the w*rkday was over?

@aediaλ it's over!

bye

Hibye!

@aediaλ special relativity does not apply to the perpendicular direction

@685-252 one (compound) word: freedom fighters.

@tchrist are you trying to govern my right to pronounce "tomato" the way I want?

You pronounce tomato as chocolate strawberry?!

!!youtube let's call the whole thing off

@AndrewLeach I dunno where they get "chocolate strawberry" from :/

9989 down, 11 to go.

But I'm exhausted.

And over at SO OVER 9000 people have like ^9000 times as many.

Envy, thy name be Reginald.

You poor thing.

Hey, the mobile app got better.

In what way?

damn, I'm terse...sorry

Sweet God in Heavens on a stick, I just tried reading a @tchrist answer again, only to fail again.

Give me time.

There is another type of “bug” that affects mathematicians—the attempt to solve certain problems. These problems have been called “diseases,” which is a term coined by the great graph theorist Frank Harary. They include many famous problems from graph theory, some from algebra, some from number theory, some from complexity theory, and so on.

@medica

@RegDwigнt Why don't you build an editing machine out of Lego?

Fuck, these races in Watch_Dogs are damn near impossible.

It's a game. Not online.

icic

@RegDwigнt which?

@Cerberus I think it means breakfast in German. Or hand grenade. Or something.

> If you're very quick, you can either close the gate on Racine and prevent him from leaving his lot before you reach his truck

Wrong. Nobody's that quick.

> - or you can wait until he gets down the street a short ways and trigger the steam pipe along his route. One hit and he's toast.

Wrong. You never get the chance.

Seriously, what kind of superhuman gamers can actually do this shit? I'm moving this guy as fast as he goes and Racine is always out the gate before I can get there.

No steam pipe, either.

Then it's a race through the streets, with his minions blocking me and knocking me off the road.

Heh, first-world problems, yeah?

@Robusto Of course. Ich sollte mein Deutsch besser üben.

Hurricane conditions possible here tomorrow.

@Cerberus There is a key piece of context missing in this quote: "Young man, the first thing you need to know is that in mathematics you don't have to understand anything, you just get used to it."

@Robusto Good races seem impossible at first. You just need to try again and again and again.

I've tried it twenty times. I'm bored with losing.

@685-252 Umm okay, if you say so?

@Robusto Put it away and try again another time.

I can take out everyone in a firefight just fine. But I hate racing challenges.

Watch a Youtube video where someone plays the race.

That's not a bad idea.

nods thrice

@Cerberus been there, done that...lost interest

@Cerberus have you seen the quote before?

Guy's not even in any hurry.

@685-252 Not that I recall.

@Robusto And yet he wins?

Yep.

Then so can you.

"Young man, the first thing you need to know is that initially in mathematics you don't have to understand anything, you just get used to it."

how's that? @Cerberus

@685-252 I'm not sure what kind of response you expect of me...

like memorizing the times tables, you don't have to "understand" anything, right?

initially, you just do it

and get used to it
