I did use pemdas! Fucking hate math. It doesn't help that I haven't done anything like this in literally let's see.. 6-8 years.



I feel ya, man. I had about a 8-9 year math break before I hit my upper division math courses.

Let me see if I can give you a better explanation

-2|-2 - (-7)| - |3| = 193?

|-2-(=7)| This resolves into +5

-|3| this resolves into 3

So with that said you should be looking at

-2(5)-3

Multiplication first, thus -2 * 5 = -10. Then add the -3 for a total of -13

But VH, you're saying that |-2-(-7)| should be 5 because -(-7) would be +7. |-2+7|.. but wouldn't that then be 9 because of the absolutes?




|-2+7|
Resolve the inside before you apply the absolute value
So -2 plus 7 = 5. Then apply the absolutely value which does't make a difference in this case and it still remains 5

This is why I hate all of this.

Heh I feel ya man. The one thing I notice about you is that you're sharp as fuck. Even though you may not like it, you grind it out as best as possible. This is a good thing.

Just think of math as one of your gateways to making 6 figures.

professor hero..



Haha one of the things they make us do in the fire stations in this part of the country is all the rooks have to "present" lessons to the other firefighters. In short they're developing our skills in public speaking and educating others.

The thing is you're in a situation where the guys you're presenting to KNOW what you're talking about so they're just giving you shit the entire time. Toughens you up 😄. Conversely, God HELP you if you get something wrong.

Yo -|3|= -3
To get positive 3 the minus sign has to be within the absolute value like so
|-3| = 3

1. |15 + (-2)| = ?
2. 2 + |23 + (-5 + 2)| = ?
3. |14 - (-3)| - |23 + (-5)| = ?



3. |14 - (-3)| - |23 + (-5)| = ?
|17| - |18| = |-1| so wouldn't it really be |1|?

|17| - |18|
Getting to this point was PERFECT. You resolved the inside of each absolute as you should have.

Once you get to that point, apply the absolute to each term giving you....

17 - 18
Giving you -1.

#3 was my "pain in the ass problem" so you did pretty damn good getting as far as you did.

A lot of the same concepts apply in software development. You'll often see a lot of software programs with a lot of parenthesis. They kind of use the same rules with operators.

Anyway, I just came home and did a little work tonight. I was thinking about starting on my next project, but I may as well wait for tomorrow. My brain has been active today. Tonight while trying to get to sleep, I'll sit back and brain storm a little. Plus fumbling through it will give me something to do and keep me off of DXP.

During my date last Friday with the Taurus, I asked her if she would accept my facebook request if I sent her one. She said "sure" as long as I didn't say anything obscene on her wall. Anyway, never sent the request till today. I sent it and signed out of facebook for the night, so who knows if she accepted it. I won't check my facebook again until I get off of work tomorrow, just seeing as I can resist the urge to see if she accepted. Have to learn discipline

Anyway, I'll go ahead and look at some pool tournaments for the rest of the night, those are normally good at putting me to sleep.



Haha I used to LOVE playing pool. Grab my cue, head to the seedy ass pool hall. Throw in a few dollars in the juke box. Enjoy the night.

Si el aquel amor,
de un tiempo atr??s,
va apagando su voz
Por qu? yo tengo que pagar
la culpa de alguien mas
palabras dichas sin pensar
son las lagrimas que caen.
Y cuanto mas me acerco yo
m??s lejos estas.





what happened lady scorp? who and why?

Another one of those Stinger, reflective emotional passing moods.

The present and future, chained by the past.
Could memories be, strong enough to keep a man bound?
The closer one get to that burning flames of love,
it sparks angrily, pushing those who dare near, away.
Thus one stands, anguished.
For what is there to soothe?

The lone man stands within the flames,
the flames which burn for her, her memory,
her past, his past, their past, branded.
Yet, one stands watching, so near yet so far,
for one knows, she is but an outsider to their faded bliss.
Does one compete? For one can not, to fight a dream?
The fumes suffocate, the smoke burns,
searing blaze, yet one remains firm.
For what? For a maybe? For a possibility? For hope?
