heh... algebra... needs more dirac deltas, THEN SHIT GETS IMAGINARY!

I... this... you don't get what a dirac detla is, right?
Seriously, we're talking about maths now. You can't make jokes like that.
[/quote]I'm an Engineer, of course I know what a dirac delta is. I was just too lazy to insert a reference to something that would make the XKCD strip actually contextually appropriate, assuming noone would try to call me out on it.
The dirac delta function, otherwise known as the 'unit impulse function', when expressed as a function of time ( δ(t) ) is a function which has infinite height, zero duration, and a very clearly defined area (or infinite integral, if you prefer) of 1. It has a value of zero everywhere except at zero, where it is discontinuous in the positive infinite direction. Therefore, it is commonly graphed as a line with an arrow pointing vertically, with the location of that point being the area ( ex. y=δ(x) would have an arrow at (0,0) pointing to (0,1), showing that the dirac delta function has an area of 1, as it is defined to). It is exceptionally useful both in signal analysis and in mathematical deconstruction of physical phenomena (such as trying to model how a robotic arm needs to accelerate and decelerate in order to reach a particular position in a specified amount of time), because it is the mathematical ideal of force impulse, which is never actually of zero duration, but can often be assumed to be for the sake of simpler calculations.
In the course of writing this, I went to wikipedia once, in order to be able to copy/paste the lower case delta (δ) so that my description would be as accurate as possible. The rest of it is a result of me using it every fucking day for the last six years in the course of getting my Engineering degree and subsequently fucking programming assembly robots.
Blow me, Benito, it's an excuse to paste a webcomic into a thread. I think you're the one who doesn't really know WTF he's talking about. If you really want me to, I'll whip out my signal analysis textbook and cook up an example that uses fourier transforms (do YOU know what those are?), imaginary numbers, AND the fucking dirac delta function if thats what floats your boat and gets you to stop spamming my -1 button.
[edit] So yeah, this was a little over the top. You may now return to your regularly scheduled thread. [/edit]

Did you see that? Did you see that edit? Sudden change of behavioir? About face? Somthing is out of place.......wait....stop........That Engineer is a Spy!
[/quote]+1 sir, I LOL'd.
Yesterday I was stretching after working out and everything was going great until I felt a sudden give and a sharp pain in my inner thigh. It felt as though my muscle literally tore and then I felt as if there was something liquid running down my leg. I think I was imagining it but I couldn't wait to get home and check that everything was still ok. I swear I expected to find my leg completely purple.
It still hurts. I hate not being flexible.
So I might get a job at AMC theatres.
YES.
I have to get 2 fillings and 2 crowns put in, and on top of that I have to get my wisdom teeth removed.

This shit is half-funny half-sad.
Also, let us know how that turns out, Karth. I've thought about getting a job at a theater, but I've known people who have and they've said it actually kinda sucks. :-\

[/quote]Get it done by an Oral Surgeon, and you'll be good to go. I got all four done in under a half hour, it was pretty awesome.
My mom spent two hours conscious under local anesthesia with a dentist working on hers before she was like fuck this and went to an Oral Surgeon instead.
Dangit, I feel so freaking hip right now.
I'm listening to vinyl records while drinking coke in a glass bottle.
And typing on a Mac. You can't get much more "hip" than this. :-\

I'm sorry, I was having a bad day.  It was wrong of me to lash out at you guys. /grouphug  Anyways I checked my inbox to find several pictures of tits from this one chick, so I feel better.  God Bless Joining the Army.

So were you wearing the black underbust today?

Yuppie.
For the record, wisdom teeth isn't a nightmare experience. Just suck it up, because you don't want to look like a total wuss to your kids in the future. You can add "flourish" to the story: How you didn't need stitches because you cauterized that shit like Rambo.
UPDATE: Supertramp is now undergoing inspection for a new band I love.
I get to keep my wisdom teeth. 8)

It is for me, I have this weird jaw problem. Â It's pretty damn rare, I'm actually a bit of a freak of nature. Â Long story short after a while of fiddling around they could only manage to get one out because my mouth won't open wide enough.
Also several of my baby teeth were fused to my jaw bone and had to be removed with pliers. Â I have some crazy childhood memories of too much NO2 and lots of blood.
