alright have fun with all your books while the planet is all grooss while im sittin in comfort in my moonhouse
and all of humanity will benefit from getting to the moon faster
for some reason
we haven't ascertained what it is yet but trust us
you do. You honestly feel this way. You pretend that you're joking but you actually believe this. You are incredibly ignorant and have no idea what you're talking about. It's hilarious.
I fucking hate math but I realize that it's necessary for science, which I love
I like art and stuff too
I used to be pretty ambivalent towards maths and just saw it as a necessary tool for science, but now I'm starting to actually enjoy aspects of it. The huge advances in understanding that were brought about by calculus are just amazing.
so the common law definition of rape is "a man having sex with a woman who is not his wife and does not consent"
additionally, it was held in some courts that you had to have the intent to commit the crime you ended up committing in order to be criminally liable, so if I mean to shoot Wiggin and end up shooting Artreus, I'm still guilty. If I mean to shoot Wiggin and end up accidentally raping Artreus, I'm not guilty of rape, because my intent was to do something else. (murder)
ok stick with me now
so if you could get the court to believe it, you could theoretically have gotten off on a rape charge by a defense of mistaken identity
"your honor, I did not intend to commit an act of rape. I was just going to go have some good old-fashioned non-consensual sex with my wife and I mistook this poor woman for my spouse."
Can we start a movement to keep the definition of rape between a man and a woman, I don't want gays ruining the sanctity of my rape.

I like the concept of math but I am just so bad at it. Numbers run away from my head.
I just got a 99% on my test on tuesday because I subtracted a 1 I was supposed to add. I looked over the thing like 3 times because I always make stupid ass mistakes like that too. Ugh.

Yeah I always fuck up small grammar parts in Japanese. Of course this week was a huge fuck-up because I couldn't find the syllabus. So I turned in the wrong homework at the wrong time.
I got really angry at my maths homework this week, there was one specific question that had 2 matrices that we had to find the determinant of by doing 2 different series expansions on each of them. The point of that gibberish is that the answer was supposed to be the same for the first two parts and different but the same to each other for the second two parts. I got a different answer for each of them the first time, and didn't realise that they were supposed to be the same and continued on before I realised I had fucked up and had to go back and figure out how. I had a minus instead of a plus for one of them, and a 3 instead of a 5 in the other one that came from somewhere strange.
Oh, and then for one of my calculus questions my answer was 4 times what it was supposed to be, and I still have no idea where I went wrong so I just wrote (answer)/4 at the end.
And the reaction in my chemistry lab fucked up 3 times, with each go taking over half an hour.
I had the enjoyment of getting a contaminated sample 3 times when I took chemistry because our lab was at the end of the day and whoever was there earlier was fucking retarded.
That sucks. At least everyone's fucked up, not just mine.
What was funny was the time we were there using the university labs for a high school chem assignment and I wasn't used to using the buchner funnels and the pumps that attach to the tap, and we had to filter the sample and then collect the water to test for nitrates and phosphates and shit, and I turned the tap off before I pulled the hose from the funnel after we had been filtering the thing for like three quarters of an hour and a bunch of water went into the collecting flask and fucked it all up.
Hah, at least you weren't like the people in my class who kept turning on the water with their flask or whatever right under it despite being warned specifically about the high pressure water faucet that will force glasses out of your hand and break them.
If we let the gays call it rape, the next thing you know people will start calling the fun we have with pigs and sheep rape. They will ruin everything.
I get to take a course on numerical solutions to advanced partial differential equations next term.
Probably the course I'm most excited for.
You're an odd person. Let's make a club.
I did a computational modelling class last semester, which was a pretty bad time for it. Most of the stuff we were doing is just starting to make sense now that we're learning about eigenvectors and in depth stuff on matrices and differential equations, but even worse than that it assumed a basic knowledge of programming without mentioning it anywhere on applications or anything for a first semester, first year course. Oh, and the lecturers both had really strong german accents. Talking about a 'callamwecter' when we don't know what a column vector is in the first place makes things a bit tough. Understanding what we were doing then now is pretty interesting though. Thankfully I think they realised everyone was doing really badly, and made the exam incredibly easy so I ended up getting a 92.
Man people are talking about matrices and calculus like it's nothing and I'm all lost.
Then I start talking about NURBs surfaces and fucking Ambient Occlusion and how Motion Builder hates being intuitive and then I lose you guys.
I looked through my brother's write-in notes for my maths course (he did it a few years before me) and had absolutely no idea what was going on with matrices, but after actually getting taught it in lectures it seems so simple for the most part.
Not once you get to actually using proper calculus in it, like taking the expression for the force due to a single charged particle at a distance and integrating that over a circle, then integrating that out to an infinite plane to find the expression for the force due to an infinite plane of charge. And that's just first year.
Chemistry is fun. I still need another chemistry class but I don't remember any of my first one. Like nothing. I wonder if I can just coast through that...

Yeah, I've had quite a few classes that just assume knowledge of programming languages. It was pretty annoying at first, but after a few it's gotten better. All my code is still probably horribly hacked together pieces of shit, but it works, at least.
I've had an inordinate number of eastern European professors. My electromagnetism professor this term is completely incomprehensible, unless I completely devote all my attention to just understanding what the hell he's saying.

I am reading Emperor's New Mind, and have just reached that part where he describes it.
It is hella interesting.
hated that stuff
'the thing that is not in this set' "?
I'll let one of you guys get around to that
It's related. That's Russell's Paradox (as in Bertrand Russell):
"G is the set of all sets that do not contain themselves. Does G contain itself?"
It's the set theory version of "This sentence is false."
And I was completely dumbfounded and asked her what it was, and she told me, and I was like "That... looks kind of like... c-c-c-calculus?"
And she just sadly patted my hand and said "Sort of, dear, sure. Sort of."
I think the answer to that is a slap in the face

sorry but calculus owns, nearly every major advance in physics in the last 300 years has been largely due to calculus.
If she has to do high level chemistry, most of quantum mechanics is based on differential equations, which are calculus.
And since it's a kind of mechanical engineering, there's a buttload of differential equation stuff from the physics part of it.

So stoked.

rape is a god-given heterosexual institution and we should keep it that way

Physics is puzzles with math.
I am doing maths and computer science.
I will understand all until someone talks of chemistry and physics.

I would love to take laytonology
Actually no wait scripting was more computer sciency.
