Rayman Pirate-Community

< bought the Star Wars trilogy. A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

< kinda wants a few more clothes for Christmas since < runs out of stuff to wear quickly.
< Will be having some Pumpkin Fritters later.

< is considering doing under the table jobs involving yard work for multiple people < know as early as next March. Love to earn some extra money before applying for an actual job near the summer when school is over.

< had a pounding headache that came out of nowhere this morning.
< slept it out and it went away when < woke up.
It's either that or the pills that fought the pain off.

< noticed that < first mentioned water-charges here on RaymanPC three years and one day ago, which is sort of a funny coincidence considering the poll < just put up.

< is hoping the headache does not come back again.
< hates the spellchecker that keeps giving atomic-typos on this phone. It is so annoying.
< wants the "roadkill" on the street where < usually waits for the bus to be gone.

< wonders what the roadkill was.

< bought Rayman 2 from Good Old Games.

< noticed that the forum's clock is 10 minutes behind the actual time.

Yeah, < sees that too.

<'s reaction to that is "So what else is new?"

< had a short interview today which, despite another surprise test, went rather well for <

< wonders what all ^'s interviews are for, ^ seems to be having a lot of them

< has a lot of homework to do, and it's all electronics which is a pain in the arse to understand...

< wonders what the electronics homework entails.

Is it ye olde Ohm's Law? Or some more tinkery stuff like capacitors? < is also curious.

< just read about a spike in ruthenium-106 levels in the Urals that nobody seems to be taking responsibility for.

It is indeed capacitors, so there's a lot of exponential discharging equations and such.
They always use water and pipes as an analogy in the textbooks but < finds it incredibly unhelpful, so < just thinks of how gravity and GPE work and likens falling objects to elections in a circuit, which < finds a lot more useful a comparison.

< reckons that's fairly valid, considering that a charged particle in an electric field behaves the same way as a massive particle in a gravitational field. < wonders if the homework involves solving many differential equations.

No, to be honest they're just simple plug-numbers-into-equations questions but the wording they use and their insistence to use engineering notation make it all very tedious. <'s getting the hang of it now at least.

When ^ says engineering notation, <'s guessing it's the mix-up between using i and j for root -1?
