Stop if you feel unwell, of course. I wouldn't want anyone to get sick.

Make a game of it. See how much water you can drink in an hour, then try to beat that record in the next hour.

Here in Oregon it went from 82F to 94F in the span of a day. I'm not a fan of the heat.

Off Topic / Re: ad shows Asian Girl geting a Guy By puting A Black Man in a washing machine
« on: May 27, 2016, 02:14:13 AM »>the black man is just a stereotype for american men
>when he's turned into a stereotypical asian male its because asian women are more attracted to asian males (in theory)
>the brand is marketed to asians so ofc its gonna have asian culture integrated into it
>nobody understands this
>>>>>everyone calls racism
internet please stop being loving handicapped
I think it's more that the black guy is perceived as dirty because of his dark skin and is thus cleaned by the washing machine. I don't think the ad would work very well with a white guy in his place.
Interesting ad though.

Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox:
In order to get to a location, you first must get halfway there. In order to get halfway there, you first must get a quarter of the way there. In order to get a quarter of the way there, you must first get an eighth of the way there. In order to get an eighth of the way there, you first must get a sixteenth of the way there, and so on. The division proceeds forever. Thus we can say in order to cross any distance, an infinite number of points needs to be crossed. Movement is impossible.
Though obviously movement isn't impossible, we do cross an infinite number of points with any and every movement. It's strange to think about.

At the risk of sounding brusque, the only one responsible for the success of your tests is you. Poor teacher or no, the geometry he covers isn't any different from the geometry taught elsewhere. I echo the above sentiment by LegoPepper about independent study; often times stepping back and looking through the material yourself is a great help. There are plenty of great geometry resources online.
The other grades seem due to clerical oversight and/or weighting. I suggest speaking with your teachers about the weighting system.

Games / Re: Souls Thread [Demons, Dark 1, 2, 3, SotfS, BB] - It's a feature!™
« on: May 19, 2016, 12:47:04 AM »been finally playing through DS2 and it's way easier than i thought it would be. the first game i really got into was bloodborne (still haven't finished it yet) and i was expecting a similar level of difficulty but ds2 isn't too challenging so far. i've been able to deal with most of the bosses on the first several tries, aside from the old dragonslayer who gave me a bit of trouble until i figured out how to dodge around his attacks. tho after reading the above posts it sounds like i might be in for a surprise pretty soon
i'm enjoying it, Tho i think at this point i still prefer bloodborne. however, ds3 might take that place when i get it from the looks
I had the most trouble with the end game bosses in DS2 because of their damage output. Some can kill you in as little as 3 hits, even if you're wearing heavy armor. I don't think the armor system in DS2 is very good.

First they came for the memes, and I didn't speak out - because I wasn't a meme.
Didn't Russia try something like this last year regarding memes of public figures, or was that just a rumor? I can't understand the mindset behind this kind of thing.

Report it to the FBI. From what I've heard, they're usually good at seizing illegal websites quickly. Was this on the deep web or just a regular website? The latter is more alarming and calls for immediate action.

« on: May 12, 2016, 08:00:02 PM »
I turn 23. I feel pretty old. I joined this forum when I was 16, which feels like a lifetime ago. Time flies so fast.
Anyway, discuss the inevitable and ceaseless progression of time and/or my birthday in here.
