    I thought Ireland was perpetual drinking and eating potatoes.

    How do you drink a potato?

    Boil 'em.

    Mash 'em.

    Ferment them.

    Drink them.

    But by the time the mashed potatoes cooled, they would have coagulated back to a fairly solid form, even if it is a mushy form. You'd probably suffocate. Unless you made them so milky that they were like soup. But then who the fuck wants to eat over-milked mashed potatoes? Sorry, Zen, but I think your idea of the Irish sitting around drinking potatoes all day long is an utterly fabricated piece of shit and you should be ashamed for your false bigotry.

    That sounds like a location in the middle of a quest in an old fantasy book. "Follow the abandoned path across the plains of death, through the mountains that turn you blind, and over the river of disemboweled souls. It's a shortcut. Much faster than that new four-lane highway they just opened up."

    Once the ball is ballistic (i.e., has left the pipe), it will behave in a predictably ballistic fashion - meaning a roughly parabolic path in a constant gravitational field.

    Hey, lady. In this country, we call it Tylenol or acetaminophen. None of that measurin' stuff in Selzeoss and Mitras and whatnot. All adding the letter 'u' to good, honest, god-fearing words like 'color' and 'armor.'

    I just call it when it says on the bottle. :[

    wait what does it actually say

    okay well fine it says acetaminophen. Damnit. The point is that I took 2g of it yesterday evening and I've been nauseous, dizzy, and sensitive to light and sound since then. I had to take my laptop into bed with me because sitting/standing is enough to make me feel like I'm about to throw up. x(

    Hmm.

    [B]Mountain Pass[/B]
    
    You have entered the Mountain Pass.  You can see a still to the North.  Behind you, to the South, is the base of the mountain.

    Do you want to jump off the cliff?

    [B]Outside Potato Whiskey Still[/B]
    
    You have arrived at an abandoned still.  Inside you can see a Frobozz-O-Matic Potato Whiskey Maker Machine 2000 inside the still.
    
    Your elvish sword glows faintly blue.
    
    > In
    (Opening the still door.)
    
    [B]Inside Potato Whiskey Still[/B]
    
    You have entered the potato whiskey still.  On one table is a the Frobozz-O-Matic Potato Whiskey Maker Machine 2000.  You notice an orc sitting in one corner eating crumpets and sipping tea.
    
    Your elvish sword glows bright blue.
    
    > i
    
    You are carrying:
    
    - a torch
    - a magical elvish sword which is glowing bright blue
    - a potato
    - a Betty Crocker recipe book
    - a treatise
    - a leaflet
    - a clove of garlic
    - a spellbook
    - a parser nymph
    - a voodoo-cursed, shrunken, petrified Zen Vulgarity
    - a magical dwarven uzi
    - a towel
    
    > Make potato whiskey
    (With potato.)
    
    You approach the Frobozz-O-Matic Potato Whiskey Maker Machine 2000 and put the potato in the machine.  Immediately, the machine comes to life and in less than a minute, a paper cup containing potato whiskey materializes in front of the machine on the table.
    
    > Take whiskey
    
    You take the whiskey.  Suddenly, the orc leaps up and smashes you in both eyes with an uneaten crumpet.  You are blind.
    

    Yep, you're right. Potato whiskey causes blindness.

    In discrete mathematics, a trajectory is a sequence (f^k(x))_{k \in \mathbb{N}} of values calculated by the iterated application of a mapping f to an element x of its source.
    (whoops, it butchers the special characters)

    this is the most amazing thing ever and one of the reasons I love math <3

    See Drez? Things like that keep me interested in you.

    Well, even the fanciest equation for the trajectory of a bullet is a slightly parabolic path.

    It's amazing how accurate even the simplified equations are in some instances.

    Because you can just ignore wind resistance on some objects and it'll still be uncannily close.

    It's shit like that which almost made me be a physics major in college.
