I think the funny part is at the end, where he says you should not beat them like animals or children, slapping them left and right.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I think you misunderstood, they treat all the kids like red-headed step children. Just go easy on the wives.FBM wrote:I guess they don't have red-headed step-children where he comes from.Tyrannical wrote:I think the funny part is at the end, where he says you should not beat them like animals or children, slapping them left and right.

No, I got it. He said you should not beat them like animals or children, but he could have said "red-headed step-children." Anyway, apparently another joke fail on my part.

I can beat my wife at solving quadratic equations and drinking.
Anything else, she beats me...

Well, I have a beer in front of me! What's a quadratic? Is it just algebraic formula for a square?

Re: How to beat your wife - yes really!
It is an equation with this general form:Cunt wrote:Well, I have a beer in front of me! What's a quadratic? Is it just algebraic formula for a square?
ax2 + bx + c = 0
Where a must not equal 0, and a, b and c are real numbers...
Such equations are the key to many phenomena in the real world...
It may have 2, 1 or 0 solutions...
I can solve them drunk or sober...

Re: How to beat your wife - yes really!
Why would one solve such an equation? I might be able to visualize it better that way...

Re: How to beat your wife - yes really!
An equation of that form would accurately model the patyh taken by an artillery shell (a parabola), with the values of a, b and c dependent on the muzzle velocity and angle of firing. Solving such an equation will give you (disregarding air resiatance) the point at which the shell lands...Cunt wrote:Why would one solve such an equation?

My maths and physics lads are used to problems which start:
"A cannon elevated at 27 degrees fires a cannonball with an initial velocity of ..."
I am a horrid militaristic role model...

Ballistics is why we have computers ! Because you can't ignore air resistance or the Coriolis effect or wind direction ... all a bit tricky maths to do in your head .JimC wrote:An equation of that form would accurately model the patyh taken by an artillery shell (a parabola), with the values of a, b and c dependent on the muzzle velocity and angle of firing.

Re: How to beat your wife - yes really!
A dense object with an aerodynamic shape and not too high an initial velocity follows a parabola with only very minor deviation. The equations for factoring in air resistance for more rapidly travelling objects are fascinating, involving cubic facors of velocity, density of the object (plus shape and surface texture), changes in air density at different altitudes and even variations in the value of g. They make me feel happy, even if they are a little beyond me...Feck wrote:Ballistics is why we have computers !
