I had 'new math' as a kid. What a fucking joke. And it was worse because I'm not a 'math' guy. Geometry and languages... no problem.
Algebra.... fuck no! How I made it through Calculus 1 and 2... I can only say that I did it during summer semesters in small classes with a really great teacher. But holy hell... the folks who did Differential Equations and beyond... fucking dorks!

Im in college for manufacturing engineering. Still have to take Calc 1. Have to do the placement test since math expires (already took college algebra and Trig and got good grades). So annoying for that test you have to do it without any calculator at all.
Originally was thinking of mechanical but heck no with all that math. Calc 1, 2, 3, linear algebra, and differential equations. I hate math taught by math people that dont know the applications and love all of the theoretical side.
as someone with an engineering degree, thats all there is going to be.
I will say that if the math teachers had said that 'Math will help you put a bullet through someone at 2000 yards...' I might have paid more attention, too.
I'm an 'applied' kind of guy!
BTW, if you have not read @Lowlight's book and his section on "weaponized math" it is outstanding!

Two different seasons, two different parts of the world, but all the same continental, all the same nation, Lake Martin, part of the Achafalya swamp in South Louisiana and St. Elmo, in the heart of the Collegian’s in Central Colorado
Sorry, typo. Meant ducking fork!

just a reminder...selena was murdered by a lesbian that was obsessed with her.
Pretty much sums up today's society and culture.
For decades men have been scolded and berated for objectifying women, ironic considering that's how so many women make a living these days on OF.
I envy you, I’m 25 years out of college with an Engineering Tech degree (algebra based) and trying to get up to speed for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Oh my brain hurts with this, but the pay raise should be worth it!
You won't have a calculator in your pocket either.
Paul Simon's and Art Garfunkel's version is still #1 but these girls do a nice job. This always puts a bit of dust in my eyes. "But the fighter still remains..."
I have a class from spring 2006 that counts for bachelor's degree and 2 classes from fall 2005 that work for electives. High school class of 2005.
Let me get this straight. 1057 men in 12 hours
that's 1057 men in 720 minutes
That's 1057 men in 43200 seconds
That's roughly one man per 40 seconds. Hmmm
She has 3 holes!!!!
If you ever get a chance to see Allison in concert ( sans Robert Plant) with Union Station go. Saw her several years ago when they were playing music from the O Brother, How Art Tho movie. Incredible musicianship.
Both armed, talking about their "crib" - probably a drug related gang thing.
I freely admit I am a 6yr old inside of a 60yr old body.....you can add a few years to that for the battle damage.Understood, it is kind of a forced perspective shot. Thanks! Yeah, RCs and snow are fun as hell so long as you waterproof everything. Sadly my old ass batteries just couldn't feed the beast of motor this thing has. Got some new packs on order, and hoping for more snow.
But I love my toys, all toys. Be they "real" cars, or planes. Or "toys". I figure now that I am retired I can play with them like I wanted to and don't have to quit to go to school or for homework. Its great.
I started playing with RC in the early 90's. Raced them quite a bit up until about the late 90's when "real" racing bug hit and I destroyed my credit cards with that little hobby. Toy cars are MUCH cheaper. Tried to go back to RC racing but it was not the same. But I have never sold one single thing. I still have it all. Took 3rd in the regionals with Tamiya cup back in the day with the mini class. Great fun.
First pic is above my "modeling" desk.
Tanks are fun as well, this one shoots airsoft BB's hard enough to give you a welt.
I had Tigger when I was 6, I kept him all these years.
You don't want to only play on the ground after all.
You do realize, now I want a tank, right?
That's one hell of a collection, very nice!!
My 20 year old son found out the hard way that that's not the road for cruising along in 2wd in a snow storm. Totalled abclean 2nd Gen dodge he got from my dad. Not a scratch luckily. AAA wouldn't respond so I had to drive up from Nor Cal to rescue him.
Lots of nice people stopped to check on him while he waited by a camp fire.

That blows about the truck, but glad he's alright.
I love me some cornbinders!! Scouts in particular.....but this day and age....do it right, the z shaped drag link is a ghetto fab solution. Rant over....carry on....
I've seen worse damage to a F250 beaten back out and put on the road........hauled fired wood with it 60 miles to customers ." A guy has to what he has to do " Should have entered said truck in the " ugly truck contest" we had here.........would have won.
Send it to dixie, we know how to afro engineer just about anything.
Thankfully no injuries to your son. Also no injuries ,to speak of , in that incident . A little mud digging out of ears , minor cuts / bruises. One occupant was knocked out, face down in a mudhole, .......others got him up so he wouldn't drown in three inches of water.
I wasn't riding or driving , ......dodged that one thank goodness.
It became an organ donor......." that others may live"
