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.

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!

Cheers,

Sirhr

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I knew a ranch family in West Texas that bought a brand new Dodge truck, brought it home and proceeded to drive it straight out in the pasture and started throwing bowling ball size rock in the bed, no liner, nothing.

They drove and treated that truck like they stole it. The boys, big ol farm kids, would climb all over it, walk on the new hood crushing it in, jump up on the cab and crush it in and reach up and punch it back out while driving. When I'd say something they'd say. "It's a work truck."
