When doing a convolution of two curves in time, you flip one of them backwards.

Our shit statistics teacher made it so complicated.

And then one day, next semester, in a lab for signals class, the TA casually said "flip one, so they both start at zero seconds" and half the class started convulsing as an entire semester worth of misunderstood math magically snapped into place.

Lots of engineering teachers, have no business being teachers.

The utility of Laplace transforms in regards to differential systems.

In engineering school you learn to analyze passive DC circuits early on using not much more than ohms law and Thevenin's Theoram. This shit can be taught to elementary schoolers.

Then a little while later, you learn how to do non-finear differential equations to help work complex systems, whether it's electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydrolic, etc. This shit is no walk in the park.

Then Laplace transforms/identities come along and let you turn non-linear problems in time-based space, into much simpler problems in frequency-based space. Shit blows your mind.

THEN a mafacka comes along and teaches you that these tools can be used to turn complex differential system problems (electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydrolic, etc) into simple DC circuits you can analyze/solve in frequency-based space, then convert back into time-based space for the answers.

I know this is super applied calculus shit, but I always love that sweet spot where all the high-concept math finally hits the pavement.

Musical synthesizers.

Historically it is a hobby that's had a high financial barrier to entry.

But the past decade has had a huge flourish of affordable and unique synthesizers and related musical equipment show up on the market. A lot of this stuff can be a TON of fun regardless of your musical knowledge/skill level. A few days on YouTube and a hundred bucks and beginners can be making their own music, with or without a computer with audio software.

It starts simple, and can go to endless depths of creativity.

Move the decimal point one number to the left. That's 10% of the original number. Double that number to get 20% of the original number.

Now you have your tip.

Look we all fell unsettled by this concept in our current climate...

But you know as soon as attractive rich people start getting that shit installed in their heads every ounce of taboo or criticism will fly right out the window.

Society is run by tits and ass. Dancing in stupid little videos.

Every time someone posts a relevant XKCD comic as a response to something, I hate humanity just a little bit less.

I salute you, internet stranger.

Open world mystery-solving rpg that's set in early colonial New England.

All the different townships are religiously secular and xenophobic. So you have to travel from place to place earning people's trust, while simultaneously working on different parts of different crimes/mysteries.

It sounds... Complicated. But this is all hypothetical.

I wouldn't be interested in some stance on religion. Just the point of that's how it was in some places.

The game could have an occult/magic type vibe. Or not.

We have this little rechargeable night light that shaped like a slug. I think it's for little kids, but we use it on the bathroom at night so you don't have to turn the main light on, but you can still hit the toilet.

It's a dumb little thing. But it works so well and keeps a charge FOREVER. We got it on Amazon for like $15.

Plus you turn it on/off by clacking the eyes together.

Tool.

The band itself is fine. Their fans however...

Inappropriate nicknames. Wait for her to do something slightly embarrassing, make a nickname out of it, then strategically use it in awkward situations.

My current frontrunners are "Whisp-a-doody", "FUPA-diaper", and "Dumptruck full o' dead cows".

That last one isn't anything she did, but something we both witnessed that really upset her.

He invented the Sky Runner, among other things.

No idea why the LGBTQ+community has beef with him though.

My partner didn't "do" video games growing up. Till Stardew.

This is the way.

Peanut butter toast with Sriracha.

We have two.

Vac Morris and V.A.C Slater.

I mean, aren't we using mostly Latin letters and sounds to spell non-Latin words?

There's a phonetic English alphabet out there. Some Scottish poet commissioned it years ago.

It is named after him. But I am an uncultured swine and can't remember who it is at the moment.

I still haven't played the Halloween hack. But thank you for the explanation. One Earthbounder to another.

MEP engineer: "Architects are as useful as a fart in a fistfight."

Didn't he abuse the shit out of a bunch of his girlfriends? One of the actors from that show "True Blood" was one of them... I think.

I betcha do, ya freaky old bastard, you!

Defeat student debt young enough to quit being an engineer and try to be a writer.

Never gonna fucking happen. I'll die with student loan debt

Is there an IT Crowd sub-lem? There should be an IT Crowd sub=lem...

Magica on the PC had a really great intuitive spell system that was a "minute to learn, lifetime to master" sort of thing. I also played it with a controller, and found it lacking. But something like that PvP would be fun without waving your arms for 15 minutes at a time.

We use these in conjunction with their smart bulbs all over the house.

Being able to turn on/off the lights without getting out of bed is addicting.

NIDHOGG!!!

Just waiting for Sid Meier to make a new pirates game... Forever.

I concur. We are concurrent.

Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi

Weird. I graduated for engineering in 2017 and the majority of my teachers were completely detached from the real world applications, unreasonably strict, uncaring, and ridiculously stringent. It was supposed to be a "good" school. It was just super difficult.

One of my all time favorite bands. This song is much more down tempo from most of their work.

I always tell people to start with their album "Emergency & I". That's usually considered their most essential album. All of them are completely solid in their own way, though.

Am OP. Nailed it.

MUCHA SHAKKA PAKKA!

Now there's a word a fella could really muckle on to...

Avocado

Lil' "bone apple tea" comin' atcha!

The Bird and the Bee, Black Moth, Blondshell, Bent Knee, Buke & Gase, Guerilla Toss, L'imperitrice, Lucifer, The Mysterones, Nico Vega, The Octopus Project, Orchards, Radiation City, No Doubt {first few albums, not the new garbage), Save Ferris, Rubblebucket, Elise Trouw

Deal. Now you get a production credit.

Wipe the student loan debt and I'll donate the other two wishes to charity.

Seriously, fuck this six figures of bullshit.

Word is a bunch of the song catalog from RB4 will be ported over to Fartnight. So you might still get your chance.
