Glove Malfunction
Ference is my binky
I totally handled it. The almond butter got into the smoothie! I just handled it with the humor it deserved - which was a LOT!So, I'm just going to add 2 cents here: if you need help making your smoothie shake, do NOT, repeat do NOT ask your husband to cut open the almond butter packet and squeeze it into your shake. The almond butter is brown and thick.....
a 12 yr old man cannot handle this action
I'll cop to the 12-year old man part though...

Nice, I'll have to check that out.
I've gone through some Khan Academy courses (before I took the GRE like 6 years ago I started it to brush up on the math section), but don't love their presentation. I'll take a look at Wolfram when I get some free time.

Wolfram is exactly what it says it is a resource compendium. It doesn't really have lessons per se, but does have explanations of the concepts. wolframalpha has some examples for a ton of different subjects, including way beyond just math. Another thing to look at maybe.
Yup. Hopefully the rest is forgettable:
She fired off 20 text messages to me while she was on the bus ride home lol. I was driving to the bus stop so i didn’t see them. She begged to play at the park with her friends, saying how hard of a day she had blah blah. There are a few reasons that i usually don’t allow this unless i know the details ahead of time. But i went along with it.
I don’t even know how the test went lol. She was so hell bent on going with her girls that nothing else mattered in the 30 seconds I saw her. So i will have to find out later!
I struggled through calc1 but did alright with calc2, which oddly enough was the reverse of calc1. I had a hard time with some advanced algebra as well. Never totally grasped factoring, which from what i recall was basically step1 for almost everything.
I earned decent enough marks through calc and advanced algebra, but i battled through it all the way. I earned those mediocre grades!
I look back on it now and can say with 100 percent certainty that i have never had the need for the quadratic formula, nor derivatives.
I'm glad we all agree that Math sucks.
This gives younger me such validation!

I never could grasp functions.....F of X and all that crap....
And Integrals.....I still don't know what they are
you have a girl too eh.
mine is 10 and my god girl drama galore. boys dont give half the shits girls do.
Yep. My boys get off the bus and it’s Minecraft or fist fights. So much simpler.

Functions are just a way of describing a shape - a formula with an input (x) that can be any (real) number. Plot those points and you've got that shape. The integral of that same function just gives you the area under that shape. Useful in a lot of engineering applications. But I can honestly say I've never used it in a practical application since college.
Well, not ALL of us!
I never liked math but loved rocks, geology, I should have become a geologist. My oldest took her rock collection in for show and tell....lol

MATH NERD!!!!!
My kids ask me questions about their math homework and my eyes glaze over. I have to go to google and look it up because it's been that long since I did any of this bullshit, I do love the folks that whined over the last few years about common core math though. I'm not a math guy and I hate it with a passion, but that's just the metric system in disguise, FFS. It's not that difficult of a concept to grasp.

Well explained Glove Malfunction, but then the last Math test I did well on was my ninth-grade assessment to see what I had retained. Your explanations jibe pretty well with what I remember of intermediate algebra though.

I've been watching a lot of cooking and baking youtubers recently and learning a lot about the science of it all. It's really interesting IMO and wish I knew all of that when I was younger.
Had no clue where else to put this but a surprisingly positive article on the Bruins on ESPN

Breaking down how the Bruins have been so dominant -- and how long it can last
With Boston winning at a record pace, we look at how the team was built, what's behind its success, what foes are saying and whether it can take the Cup.

On Monday I had my third cancer surgery in the last 6 months. Get your mammograms ladies, but don’t schedule them for Friday the 13th. That’s just tempting fate.
Also, read your own scan results because even though you might not know what they mean, you have time to Google stuff like “cystic masslike lesion” in your thyroid that your breast cancer radiologist may overlook.
I found out last week that I’ll be in Boston in March for work, so I spent an obscene amount on a ticket to the B’s-Rangers matinee. We only go around once, right? That’s why we have to make the most of right now.
