People who are clueless but act like they know everything

That feeling you get when you're expecting an email, so you check your inbox every 5 minutes, forgetting that you just checked it and you probably won't receive one for a while.

And 3 weeks later, still no email. True story.

How our dog ALWAYS has to stand right in the middle of the kitchen when there's a lot of activity in there, people carrying hot plates of food, trying to do the dishes, etc.

 

^ Even that level of proloooooonging a wooord annoys me. I guess because I can't help but associate it with those sickening California accents (the overexuberant, squeaky ones) I'm exposed to far more often than I'd like.

 

 

You'd find Pennsylvanians to be much worse. We sound like a combination of a hick and an Irish/German hybrid. It's weird. :U

 

 

But, I know exactly what you're talking about.

 

I can't put a number on how many times people have asked me if I'm from Pennsylvania just from my accent alone.

OT: Lag in Street Fighter. >=( Cost me a crucial round against a really good player. (He was far better than me, but I was making some decent reads in the second round until lag screwed up my execution)

I had to look up to make sure you weren't Gallade. Woah, that was weird.

Crusty, I have that same thing with my kitchen too. The exception is that it's a cat who just wants to be an ass, even lying down to get maximum amount of space it can get. <_<

Just means someone's giving them food or else they'd go sit in a corner.

Drake. God that voice pisses me off, and my brother is infatuated with his latest album at the moment so I hear it every morning ;_;

I can't stand Drake. Partly because he's just awful, and partly because people act like he's the greatest new rapper out there.

What's the matter with you people? My dad also gets pissed off when our dogs get in the way. It doesn't make sense, just step through them. It's not hard to push them out of the way, and they'll realize eventually that it won't do them any good.

Ever notice in a music video how much the camera flips to a different shot. You don't notice it at first, but if you pay attention to how fast the shots change, you notice that one scene isn't on the screen for more than like, 2 seconds.

 

Not super annoying for me, just something I noticed.

 

Wb Nom.

 

669,705 people we should cull

For want of parentheses.

In England we weren't actually taught about the order of operations. Or at least it was only applied to algebra, that 3(3 + 3) = 24 stuff. They never said it is applied to something like 3 + 2 x 6 - 3. :\

 

Damn you maths teacher!

3(3 + 3) is 18. :shame:

 

And anyway, 3 + 2 x 6 - 3 is essentially the same as 3(3 + 3). The prior just doesn't have any parentheses. Thus, you only have to worry about EMDAS. :-D Imagine how weird it would be to only use PEMDAS when there were parentheses in the equation.

Just to clear some things up!

 

I just quickly wrote 3(3 + 3) = 24 and didn't bother figuring it out :P I don't know what a EMDAS, or PEMDAS is. And you just reminded me that they did teach us to put that long equation in brackets, :oops: , they just didn't say it was the order of operations ting.

 

One thing that annoys me related to school is that whilst in high school you don't realise how important it truly is. It's only when you've failed some classes and left doing nothing that you wish you hadn't screwed around.

Maybe a requirement to have a facebook account is to prove you can do order of operations.

 

I just hate how tricky it is to note the subtract signs within the equation sometimes.

Yeah, I can see someone messing that up.

The operations are performed from top to bottom. Variations (which mean the same things) are BEDMAS (brackets, division and multiplication switched) BODMAS (brackets, orders, division and multiplication switched) and occasionally PEDMAS. It is taught as M then D in the US and D then M in most other places.

The only tricky part about it is the random subtractions in the middle. If you put 0, then that's a whole other story.

Doesn't really matter if division or multiplication is first. They both hold equal weight (same with addition and subtraction).

4 x 5 x 6 = 6 x 5 x 4

 

So honestly, it doesn't matter. :thumbup:

Like Vezon said, order doesn't matter. The only way you'll get confused is if you don't pay attention to minus signs. 3 - 4 + 5 - 10 != 4 - 3 + 10 - 5. Subtraction is addition of a negative, so it would be (-4) + 3 - 10 + 5. And I guess it's the same with division. They aren't commutative, but 4 / 8 x 6 / 10 is in essence 4 * 1/8 * 6 * 1/10, which is commutative.

 

I'm basically done doing 'division' nowadays. In so many instances, it's easier to see it at multiplication of a number over 1 (for example, unless you have a 1st order polynomial in the denominator, it's almost always easier to use the product rule instead of the quotient rule for derivatives).

So true, especially in calculus.
