+1 it's not a dog act asking her to contribute, if you do so nicely

If I was her I'd have offered to chip in long ago, but that's just me

If you were her you'd unfortunately be sucking her bf's cock and prolly have a different opinion on being a scumbag

Lucky you're not and the hypothetical can end there

"You don't realise how often you use maths on a day to day basis.. and how needed it is, those Math Teachers back in high school weren't lying about its practical applications"

Maths like that does have practical real world applications for 99% of the population, but I'm STILL trying to figure out exactly what differentiation / anti-differentiation is used for... That was the main thing I struggled with during VCE math, purely because I couldn't relate the figures or formula to anything, despite asking the teacher multiple times and feeling stupid for needing to ask when everyone else seemed to get it.

She used to cook dinner for me as 'payment' but that stopped a while ago

engineering. electrical uses it pretty often.

some of the maths we covered in TAFE surpassed what some of the VCE guys were doing in Specialist Maths. but TAFE cuts all the bullshit out and just gives you the formulas someone else has already figured out. and knowing its useful and you see it at work makes sooooooo much difference when learning.

and non-calculator exams... i dun geddit

I bombed maths methods in yr 11 & 12, but did a CAT (William Adams) aptitude test with ~90 people and scored top 2. it was all rough estimation against the clock.

bahahaha Entourage moving comin out this week.. should be good

Up to season 4 watching them all from the top - I'm not gonna make it in time, got slack for the last couple weeks :(

engineering. electrical uses it pretty often.

For WHAT though? Got a real world example?

Even pretending I was going to be part of the 1% of people who would use it in the future, would have helped me.

Edit: Watched the first 60 seconds of this... proceeded to kill myself. I'm now ded. Avenge me.

Seems bit stingy tho I mean bit of water who cares if she was eating ya food fair enough. But otherwise heating / electricity would still be gettin used with or without her presence

  • Like 1

I was unaware of this, given the world has not yet imploded

Just because Andrew Bolt's tacky, transparent, biggoted ramblings are typically the journalistic equivalent of one of Satan's minions fishing for fresh souls via the medium of finger painting with a fresh load his master's thick black jism doesn't mean he cant be correct on an issue every once in a while...

Yeah that's fair, more so my manners at play than the extra cost. At the very least mention it and see if she how she reacts, she might wanna help more with chores or something

That's not true:

Hot water being used for her showers, hot water being used when she's washing her dishes, electricity and gas being used when she is cooking, lights being used when she's in the bathroom/bedroom, electricity being used when she is charging her phone/laptop, electricity being used to wash her clothes/towel, the boyfriend putting on the heater because she's cold....

These are all little things, but effectively these are times where it's costing for her to be there, and she's not paying for any of it.

I've been in this situation before. My housemates girlfriend was having up to three showers a day at our house and not contributing at all. I told the housemate she had to contribute or stop having showers all the time, they moved out :)

Well I I doubt she is cooking just for herself or cleaning just for herself so that electricity/gas/hot water would be getting used regardless

Just so we clear I get tight arse tenants saying "you can't turn the lights on for opens it costs us for that half hour" we get their bill break it down to an half hourly amount it's like a couple bucks I mean geez is wasteland that hardup?

This has struck an interesting debate.. will report back with how my conversation goes tonight

It's not so much being a tight ass for a 'few bucks' it's the fact of not signing up for it so to speak - to be living with another person, just kind of came in like a sponge and stays majority of her life here. (gotta remember it's only a unit)

At least when my mrs visits sometimes she cleans shit :rolleyes:

yeah... talking about maths to maths people over-complicates things. they work with many unknowns and use them to re-write equations/simplify. in the real world, you just plug in those unknowns with values and solve for what you want to know.

calculus and derivatives are used for power measurement (energy over time).

Pythagoras theorem is used for calculating the 3 different types of AC power (real, apparent and reactive)

Imaginary numbers and vectors are used in measuring and calculating complex AC power

log is used to simplify time curves.

Theres equations and calculators for just about all of it, you just plug the numbers in most of the time. in my role you just need to understand what the equations are doing, engineers under how the equations were made (and other stuff) and mathematicians and physics people theorize and prove the equations.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
