  1. Bro... he don't work at the beef jerky factory no more...
  2. I got my only D ever on a progress report card in Trig, but I ended pulling it up to a C before the end of the semester. It’s like Pat said, it doesn’t make sense on its own, and it’s a harder to see the relationships in it than previously taught disciplines.
  3. I wasn’t great at Trig either (like I got similar grades as you).
  4. Antiquated isn’t the word I wanted to use, but it was the closest. Slide rules will never go out of fashion like the graphing calculator has; it just takes a lot of practice and it’s never going to be faster than a PC or even a phone with a graphing calculator app on it. There will always be a better way and there will always be exceptional situations when a slide rule is the only option.
  5. First of all, you don’t need to breathe oxygen in; you’re inflating the lungs so they will reflexively expel what’s in them, such as water. Secondly, what’s generally more important is chest compressions in CPR situations. At one point, there was even the suggestion that mouth to mouth wasn’t needed at all, but it does still serve a purpose as long as chest compressions are maintained.
  6. When I started Algebra, graphing calculators were brand new, so calculators weren't really a thing. I would imagine we would have been allowed to use calculators if I was studying Trigonometry in the '80s, since slide rules were antiquated.
  7. I’m not so great at math, so I get where it comes from, but I’m with you. Showing your work is a prelude to Algebra and the general use of equations and formulas; after that it doesn’t make any real sense. Most calculations are performed using visualization either wholly or in part: having to write down every step tends to interfere with that process.
  8. He would if it wasn't already Flag Day. He's probably trying to figure out how he can celebrate his birthday on another day in the year, like the late Queen of England,
  9. Fuck it. Good as this is, I’m still not getting the app.
  10. Hey, don't let her push you around like that. I'll give her some lip for you.
  11. Hey @[classic swim], how come you don't invite me over?
  12. Ghosty, with or without the Islamic Republic in power, the US is going to be a target for the same terrorists that inhabit the region.
  13. By the way, does the USS Gojira have a "ramming speed?"
  14. We are legion, my good man.
  15. That helps a bit. I'm not hip to what you kids watch on the world wide web these days.
  16. See Ghosty? U in good company.
  17. Ghosty, I don’t get it.
  18. You didn’t say anything about a discrete sniff.
  19. I hope she a’ight.
  20. Ima answer for Ghosty. He absolutely would not because he’s a gentleman who values the comfort of his companion for the evening. He’ll at least give her the courtesy of a spritz of moonshine in her dainty parts and a line of cocaine before proceeding to her pooper.
  21. Word is… Stefawn and Witches Tits threw a stink when the Secretary of Agriculture told Trump that arresting farm workers might be a bad idea. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-deporting-farm-workers-noem-miller-b2771836.html
