FH your aim is a bit off.
LOL!

Howdy!
Are any FAWTLs planning on doing the MMO?
Diane and I are considering supporting the kickstart.
I put $15 in to get Emerald Spire but really have no interest in the game.

Diane plays WOW, but I haven't played so much as a video game in over five years so I'm pretty clueless about this MMO stuff.

I'm not sure. While they are not in the top 3, I truly hate mmos (they're in the top ten). That said, paizo has never been steered me wrong before....
Surprisingly, given how low it was over the weekend, it's looking like it'll squeak by in the last few hours.

Eric Burdon's singing for the Animals is sadly underrated.
Looks like the kickstarter made it. Might as well snag Emerald Spire while you can.
Shocked, Channel 4 commissions another interesting show. Although it's another that ostensibly deals with teenagers, like Misfits, it was interesting. And set in the mid-90's has some nostalgia - "My Mad Fat Diary" has the beginnings of an interesting series.
I admit that I was sceptical about it succeeding until a few hours ago.
What show is this?
My Mad Fat Diary It's better than the trailer (if it's accessible in the US).
He's the episode Episode 1*NSFW*
Kicked in for Emerald Spire. There's a campaign I have in mind that a nice big megadungeon book would be nice to have for looting...

Ah, well, today I even dreamed about hyperlinks.

In response to the revelation that mouse activity has been found at Old Trafford, a Manchester United spokesman have declared they have a "robust pest control system."
Which would explain why Phil Neville had to leave.
Got a Dark Heresy game this week instead of Kingmaker.
Also, I have to applaud my players for not dying against Vordakai.
At work now. Hopefully the day will go well.
Same here, save for the at work part. Day job yesterday got a bit annoying re: cell phone usage warnings. Seriously, if they have a problem with me using my cell phone at work, make sure my computer works, because it really can't seem to handle being online and opening word documents. At this point, it's either do my job and get yelled at or put my feet up because my computer isn't working(can't work without it!) and get yelled at because I'm not doing my job. Just can't win. Also, my boss and my supervisor are telling me two different things again, and my supervisor is being increasingly flippant about my boss having different ideas than she does. It's supervisors like her that get people fired because at the end of the day, it's not her call. But whatevs.

Went over to my math teacher friend's house this weekend and had another debate about math and it's place in society...Good debate. Still hate math. Always will. My wife tried to help me by linking me to this, but it's not much help to me or people like me- it's just math people talking about the inherent awesomeness(*cough*) of math and explaining it slightly differently for other people who love math. It's not for me.

Seconded, especially after checking the stuff happening around the project itself.
I have to agree with the caption, though. A lot of things learned in school aren't on their own inherently useful, but they teach critical thinking and logic. It doesn't make sense to brag about how little [x] subject applies - there is, somewhere, a really good reason you need to at least make an attempt.
Stopping before I start my own rant about cell phone usage. Though I will say my ideal classroom is lead-lined. =)
Here I am rambling again. This is what happens when I get free time.

We're just going to be on different sides of this, it seems. I can honestly say that the person shouting is very right in my experience and the caption is misleading at best and dead wrong at worst- yes, math can teach you critical thinking and logic, but so can other things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with math- or, to be more accurate, algebra, trig, or the other things that even high level mathies are starting to think should be returned to their former status of being taught as individual classes instead of being smushed in to regular math classes. Mathies have been shouting for years that their way is the *only* way to learn rules or logic of any sort and education boards have been swallowing it wholesale and it's just not true.
I would also add that cooking, learning a foreign language and the other stuff listed below are useful on a 1-to-1 level. The bs encountered in most late-high school math is decidedly not.
I'm just baffled at the mindset of "WOO-HOO, I DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING!" as represented by that comic and that I overhear so often when the kids think the sub's not paying attention. I don't get bragging about "haha, Mrs. X thought that would be important." I can't wrap my mind about being proud of failing to grasp something. Heck, I wish I remembered more of my high school classes, and it bothers me that I know I used to be able to do something and can't anymore.
*shrug*
I should get breakfast before I get into making yet another character sheet I'm never going to use.
I think I'm up to five or six character concepts for a campaign at least a year off.

Ouch! Good luck with that.

This is an impressive feat. I now find myself contemplating the means by which someone came up with that equation. I can see how they did it, but it would take some time. Love it.

This probably has its roots in the notorious lack of social skills possessed by most high school teachers(not to mention many, many students, but they do have an excuse in that they are still developing, although it is a poor one) as well as the encouraging of an adversarial relationship on both sides. It's worse in math teachers, I find, but it's an issue that the administration is always a step behind in addressing.

From what I saw in the comments about the site it's screenshotted from, I imagine they just put the there-bottom calculation in, told it to convert to base-10, convert to fraction form (if it wasn't already), then copied it, pasted it into the submit box, and told it to convert back.

I was just gonna blame cell phones. Seriously, why do 11-year-olds have iPhones.

I see your goatee is taking over and making you evil. I feared this would happen, but it's okay - we all get evil goatees from time to time. Just trim it a bit and your alignment should return to normal.
