    Yeah. I'm pretty dumb.
    Loads of maths just depends on the teacher, and that was not the clearest way of explaining what I meant.

    I remember being taught vectors in three different ways by different teachers and only on the third attempt did I actually understand what the calculations were doing. It's the same for calculus; I suspect if I hadn't been shown the graphical explanation, I would never have really seen it as anything except just bizarre equations.

    Calculus was pretty good, but a few years ago. But I knew what the calculations did.

    I got into matrix algebra, did an entire semester, and still have no clue what the bloomin hell it's used for.

    It's best to think of matrices as a tool. They are a structure that helps you do things not a thing onto themselves. So some people use the structure this way, others that way and they aren't necessarily conceptually related at all. They just use roughly the same notation on paper.

    I'm having flashbacks to my last job where I quit not long after a merger

    the sister company we merged with just bought whatever computer was on sale at Best Buy whenever they needed a new one

    hodgepodge of all different models and specifications

    this company was the one that didn't have active directory, didn't have their own file server, didn't have any management tools

    they did all their work by sharing files through dropbox

    everybody had admin rights to their own PCs, and one guy kept contracting malware

    one of the co-owners told me (verbatim quote) "we had a server once, but it kept crashing, so we got rid of it"

    aaaaaaaaaaa omg

    all of their IT support for the last few years before the merger was done on an hourly break-fix rate with local IT consulting firms. No contracts.

    they were so excited during the merger because now they were going to have in-house IT! and save so much money on IT costs!

    lol nope

    I mean, eventually they will

    After they have a completely rebuilt infrastructure.

    I love how programming makes me feel barely literate when, for example, I spend an hour trying to figure out why my program doesn't match the professor's example and the main reason is that I was not giving mine the same input.

    Geth, roll 1d20 for pooping

    much grunting is heard, but nary a splash hits the bowl

    "go on without me guys, im gonna be a while" Havelock tells his companions

    they oblige, meanwhile, an opportunistic group of bandits descends upon our otherwise preoccupied hero

    Geth roll 1d20+4 for Stealth to hide and poop quietly

    Havelock hears the approaching bandits, and quietly sneaks out of the outhouse undetected. He makes his way to a nearby trail and finds a secluded spot to finish pooping in peace.

    Unbeknownst to him, he left a giant trail of tp behind as he had quickly stuffed a bunch in his pants (THERE WASNT ANY TIME TO PROPERLY WIPE OK) and never detached from the roll back at the outhouse.

    Not that it likely would have mattered, as he soon realized the secluded den he had chosen was actually home to two adorable grizzly bear cubs.

    "Awww hey these guys are cu-oh shit"
    ...
    "Hmmm"

    So, winter in Houston this year is nuts. It's been between 65-80F all but like 3 days so far. I was sweating outside in mid-January... in a t-shirt.

    I mean winter is usually wimpy as fuck here but this is just way beyond and I don't even know. Apparently there are now no months when you can go outside and not sweat.

    the only person more quintessentially american than kanye west is donald trump

    Trump is one of the least american people I have ever heard of.

    And that includes illegal immigrants.

    Trump is so incredibly american it's not even funny.

    he's like a collection of the worst american stereotypes.

    russians are very different.

    That's not what american is supposed to mean

    But I guess if the term is just an insult now then sure

    Captain America would disagree with you. The worst american stereotypes are often people being unamerican in my opinion.

    Saying the pledge tomorrow is gonna be hard.

    This is little more than a no true scots fallacy.

    There are a variety of shitty things America has a history of, and Trump represents a bunch of them.

    Saying he's unamerican implies that america has never embodied the things he stands for. Which is false.

    so my work laptop stopped working properly yesterday

    i'd start it up and it'd just keep resetting instead of load up properly

    took it to IT and watched as the guy went through all the steps i tried (just taking the battery out and starting it up like that)

    then i watched as he exasperatedly unscrewed the bottom off my laptop, took out the hard drive and just plugged it into an identical shell laptop

    which i feel like is gotta be the kinda fix people do in IT more than you'd expect

    I love how you just lowkey dropped that it "stopped working" when we all know you poured shit into the side of it a couple days ago...

    that's the other reason we buy identical computers

    so when somebody comes to you with a laptop that they clearly drop-kicked, but you can't prove they drop-kicked, begging you for a newer computer, you can hand them exactly the same laptop model

    Who even does that? We've been on Core series processors for like a decade now, they all run Word and Facebook equally well

    It's rare but it happens. A healthy organization disincentivizes that sort of behavior through all sorts of soft ways.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
