Thieves got your rig?

Here and now, I have 3 computers. Systems considered mine are: 1. Custom built desktop (mostly a file server, built it 2 years ago). 2. Personal Laptop (Dell XPS I bought last year). 3. Work Laptop (crappy old Panasonic Toughbook, US govt issued), getting a new one very soon . 4. Old dead laptop that was very good to me, but I haven't had the heart to toss it (for 3 years) . 5. Old Dell desktop I bought 3 years ago when my laptop died. I used it for a year, then gave it to my folks. I retired the P2-350 I built for them in 1997 .

Here's a visual aid that helped me understand just how easy quadratics are. Walk thru this one and you'll have your test, no problem.

A little chlorination for the gene pool is never a bad thing. So thoughtful of you to spare the world having to put up with your demon spawn.

The fact that you've got to wait two weeks before you can donate sperm again.

Gotcha. You want the 3some fun without jeopardizing your supply. Good luck!!

Than you might want to reconsider your 3-some. 3-somes with friends are one thing. Quite another when you're talking about someone you want a future with. I've heard of 3-somes being the downfall of too many relationships. Besides, how many places can you put your dick at once? If you have a third in mind, why not tap that third one on one?

3somes are fun in concept, but cause some serious issues in the relationship.

By far the worst part of eating a vegetable is putting them back in their wheelchair .

Shot and killed by an asshole who wanted to be famous. Clicky. John was a great guy who made some wonderful music.

Now that you mention it, something's not quite right with that girl!!

That's more ridiculous than the ticket I got in High School for riding my bike on the wrong side of the street. It was like a $70 ticket for riding against traffic, across the street from the bulk of the school traffic. Sue me for not wanting to get my ass run over . We fought it and got it dismissed, but talk about stupid shit.

Thanks!! Feline exploitation is simply wrong. It seriously is a breakthrough to have them chomping away in such close proximity with no hissing or swatting.

Lunchtime at my place. Food dishes are migrating ever closer and nobody's getting their head bitten off.

Damn skippy!! ETA- As long as none of the neighbors consider my kitties to be "Tasty Animals", we're ok.

Sounds like fun

Ill kick your booty...... LOL!! Seriously, I hope the example helped. It's kinda tough to do that over the internet. You'll do fine on your test. For me, algebra was one of those things that I banged my head against the wall trying to understand, then all the sudden it clicked. The resulting laughter scared the shit out of my mom. Again, best of luck to you!!

Sorry Michele, didn't mean to make you go cross-eyed . I was seriously trying to help, but algebra's not the easiest subject to learn. Next 2 lessons will be Integration by Parts and Differential Equations.

Gives new meaning to dumping high, and another reason to talk shit to John before getting on the plane.

So why can't you go jump?

What other half? Factoring it out? Here's my 2 cents, hope it doesn't confuse you further. You know FOIL (First Outer Inner Last) right? FOIL is basically reverse factoring. Generating your quadratic when you already have the solution. Here I'll use x=-2 and x=-7/2. I know, looks nasty but negative solutions give you an easier quadratic, which is good here. (x+2)(2x+7) FOILs out to: 2x^2 + 7x + 4x + 14 Two center terms (O and I) can be combined by adding their coefficients (+7 and +4). 2x^2 + 11x + 14 Assuming you don't already have your solutions (x = -2 and x = -7/2) and you need to solve from the quadratic form, you have your ABC to plug into the quadratic formula (not my method of choice) or you can factor it out. When factoring a quadratic, you only have so many options. If it doesn't jump out at me, I list a few options and hope it becomes obvious. The easy way (for me) is to focus on only the outside terms and hope the middle term falls into place. For 2x^2 + 11x + 14: (2x + 14)(x + 1) yields 2x^2 + 2x + 14x + 14 or 2x^2 + 16x + 14 I realize at this point that no combination of 2, 14 and 1 will give me 11. 2 for the leading coefficient should be self explanatory (2x + 2)(x + 7) yields 2x^2 + 14x +2x + 14, also 2x^2 + 16x + 14 (2x + 7)(x + 2) works You'll very soon run into equations where you really can't use the quadratic formula, such as those with more than one variable. Personally the only times I ever used the QF is when it was specifically requested. I think I failed the QF portion of my exams (10+ years ago). Feel free to PM for more if this helped you out

Depends on whether you're asking Me, Myself, or I. I relate differently to Myself than to Me, same with Me and Myself.
