So your brain memorized pointless formulas like law of sine

i understood them more than i learned them by heart

 

[John Price]

i understood them more than i learned them by heart

what

math is just memorizing those formulas in your head. so pointless.

why would anyone want to memorize all those formulas because that's the only way you can pass math. then people complain when asians aren't good. like do you expect asian to memorize 30 dumb laws and understand the concept that you could have a base of numbers outside of 10

"e"

"WHAT ABOUT HEXADECIMALS COMPUTERS ARE BUILT ON HEX ADDRESSES AND BINARY"

so

Math is like when the teacher takes away your recipe and makes you solve formula.

Can you cook without recipe? Yes.

But it'll be shitty.

You need the formula to know where you're going. Would you drive without a map? Yes. But you could get lost.

 

[John Price]

Look you have a f***ing brain now you can cook without recipes and do math without knowing any formulas, good for you

Imagine wasting memory space on that

and unlike math, you need to know cooking your whole life because you need food to survive so I guess I could see it

but you won't die if you don't know the law of cosines lol

it would help greatly if this manjaro rig could access wireless faster than 1 mb/ second

it would GREATLY help

f***ing every time i speedtest I get 700 ping, like um what's throttling me here. the only throttling that needs to be going on needs to be going elsewhere, not on my network bandwidth !

 

[John Price]

imagine not using formula sheet or recipe to do anything

imagine memorizing them all in your head

why

"I DON'T MEMORIZE IT I HAVE THE PROCESS UNDERSTOOD ON HOW TO COOK"

 

[John Price]

been doing some research here on Giada's cookbook and a lot of them use white wine to deglaze the pan

I'm not saying I'm going to buy a bottle of wine to drink but I could use a bottle for cooking

Deglazing a pan involves adding liquid, such as stock or wine, to a pan to loosen and dissolve food particles that are stuck to the bottom after cooking or searing. The cooked food particles, known as fond, are the source of immense flavor. The flavorful mixture produced by deglazing can be used to make a sauce.

 

[John Price]

the irony is that math doesn't allow you to use your brain other than to recall formula

like you made kimchi with watermelon right. that's creative. kimchi is usually pickled cabbage that is put int he ground for like 3 years to "ferment". using it with watermelon is creative !

but in math you have to follow set plan and instruction which is often memorized. you cannot change from the path. you lose points for watermelon kimchi in math. "you have to reduce this long expression to an algebraic expression you already know like a2 + 2ab + b2 or some shit like that" that's real creative al right !

if you are creative and like art you should hate math.

okay i'm going to eat

if you like math you shouldn't like dreamcatcher that is not typical kpop and going into more of the hard rock aspects of music you should like stock normal kpop 1

all this f***ing college expansion killing the pac 12

pay 85 f***ing dollars per month and nothing good on TV right now. Yes @PanthersPens62 even the news is boring. I had to turn it off.

tf am I supposed to do now. I have 3 more hours before bed.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Despite my love for Omarosa, the real reason I started watching Celebrity Apprentice was to see Gene Simmons.

Didn't know you were KISS army.

Noted Israeli Gene Simmons.

 

[John Price]

The Beatles had a significant influence on Simmons. "There is no way I'd be doing what I do now if it wasn't for the Beatles. I was watching The Ed Sullivan Show and I saw them. Those skinny little boys, kind of androgynous, with long hair like girls. It blew me away that these four boys [from] the middle of nowhere could make that music."[9]

Simmons does not drink alcohol or use drugs.[33]

like you @PanthersPens62 ~!

How is watching on You Tube "illegal"? Thats what You Tube is there for.

I'm not KISS army, but I like some of their stuff. (in fact when I was a kid I was scared shitless from all the make-up etc. ) Gene's real name is "Chaim" (like Red Sox GM Bloom)

The Beatles had a significant influence on Simmons. "There is no way I'd be doing what I do now if it wasn't for the Beatles. I was watching The Ed Sullivan Show and I saw them.

like you @PanthersPens62 ~!

Yeah but his big vice is he can't stay faithful to his lovely bride Shannon Tweed. And the problematic fact that he became a Trumpie.

 

[John Price]

ijt's illegal because they're clips and technically any recording of it can be taken down if NBC gave a shit but they don't

plus i want to watch the full episode

i'm kind of bummed they aren't online i was planning to lie down in bed all day watching omarosa and piers argue. now i have to depend on youtube highlights

Simmons has always been open about his disdain for drug and alcohol use, and has proudly claimed many times over "I've never been high or drunk in my life".

 

[John Price]

In March 2011, Simmons visited his birth country, Israel. He described the trip as a "life changing experience". He talked about how he still feels that he is an Israeli: "I'm Israeli. I'm a stranger in America. I'm an outsider".[35] While there, Simmons met his half-brother Kobi, and triplet half-sisters Drora, Sharon and Ogenia.[36] Simmons announced he has plans to take Kiss to Israel. He has said that he is an ardent supporter of Israel.[37] At a press conference in Israel, he spoke in both Hebrew and English.[38]


@LarryFisherman I want to be like Gene Simmons I won't get high and drugs are stupid

Alcohol is fine though

 

[LarryFisherman]

You would only know more if you fixed my chronic WiFi issue on Manjaro.

Shit connected to wireless but getting 5 mb/s. Meanwhile the windows machine is getting 70 mb/s. The f*** gives.

Well, first of all, you should have installed ubuntu v. manjaro, which is much more beginner friendly.

But yeah, i suspect your 11 year old wifi card lost support in a later kernel update. IIRC you can "downgrade" the kernel version from within settings. I bet that helps.

Run "inxi -F | grep iwlwifi" and see what versions are supported by the card manu.

 

[John Price]

Dude I have to go out in my pajamas to bring the trash can and recycling bin in

f***

I don't want to have to put on pants

i did do it i did everything that was suggested by google it didn't f***ing work

I went down to kernel f***ing 4 19 it didn't work

i mean other than this dumb ass wifi garbage this os is fine. takes some getting used to and tweaking.

He's probably a big supporter of Bibi

 

[John Price]

@LarryFisherman

he became a Trumpie.

"[W]e all lie to some extent, but what happened the last four years was beyond anything I ever thought imaginable from people who had lots of power — not just him, but the administration, everybody.[48]

On November 10, 2021, he stated that people who refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine are "an enemy" and called them "evil".[49]
