    But I agree that the museum idea isn't bad, I need to pick one out though.

    Dancing is a great one. It's a physical active that doesn't get canceled by moderately bad weather. It allows for conversation. And it lets you be close to the girl. What is the downside again?

    We could go dancing.

    It would not be at a beginners swing dancing class.

    You people are old.

    And that's not even considering how dumb it is to compare gas price averages that are only a week apart.

    It's like trying to draw a conclusion from the fact that last week it was 10 degrees colder than it is this week.


    Wait it was 10 Degrees colder last week????

    OMG GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL

    Oh no wait, tomorrow it's going to be back down where it was last week.

    Crisis averted!

    The more I learn about statistics, the more frustrated I get at how they're misused and misinterpreted.

    Swing dancing is super fun, don't knock it till you have tried.

    Also met one of my exes at a swing thing. Awesome girl, also played Hockey.

    What is this utter bullshit about ladder theory being forbidden (as opposed to just being stupid and mocked) in chat?

    It is (rightly) forbidden as a framework for advice in h/a of course. But this is very much not in h/a. For one thing we have TNC instead of Esh.

    Even if "friend zone" is equivalent to ladder theory (which I'm not convinced of) that still would not make it forbidden in chat. This is not and should never be a "safe place" where people cannot both bring up and be ruthlessly torn apart for their crazy ideas.

    Also, fuck phone posting. I need me a physical keyboard.

    Attacked by tweeeeeeees!

    People are lazy. Making a graph is "impressive" and simple. It's a thing you can show on the Teevee. Actual analysis is a lot more complicated.

    Anyone seen Hugo? How important is the first 10 minutes?

    The beginning is pretty unimportant from a plot standpoint I believe, but very pretty. It takes quite a while to really get rolling, there was probably some basic explanation of where they are at and why the kid is there, but that's fairly easy to pick up and will be further delved into over the rest of the movie.


    minor-ish spoiler of what might happen in the first 10 minutes, but I don't remember for sure if it was later.
    The uncle might die in the first 10 minutes, which is mostly just set-up for why he's alone

    to be honest you almost certainly get 3 different kinds of points for that kind of dancing

    a) old school points
    b) unusual points
    c) can dance points

    ALL VERY VALUABLE

    I hope I get chosen and play this war thing with the guilds and crap. I never played a real MMO before, but i'm 100% sure this will definitely be the thing to give my life meaning.

    Alright, I asked her if she wants to go see the new Genghis Khan exhibit at the Field Museum with me.

    I already told her that I am related to him. Now as we go through the exhibit and hear about his deeds I can tell her in which ways I also reflect these due to being his legacy.
