Yes, I watch it in reruns on truTV, plus other shows like Impractical Jokers.

Brain cells are slowly dying...

"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder I can think at all
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away."

Speaking of school. I'm glad I've used my algebra and fractions every day of my adult life. I dunno I would've made it without algebra. And whatever useless shit they taught me.

Could've taught me how to balance a check book. Make you sign up for a fucking checking account but don't teach you how to use it.

x3 + 1 and (y4x2 + 2xy – y)/(x – 1) = 12 is far more critical as you can see. And no, I just copied and pasted. I said they taught me algebra. I never said I retained it.

If this is what your first calculator looked like:



There are 10 types of people in this world;
those who understand binary and those who don't.

I remember those from the early 80's. They didn't stay around long. How about this one?

RPN?

This thing is kind of trippy. I can't make sense of the picture wheel thing on the side. Is it like this view master thing?

I honestly did though. Very simple, and very visual.

It's the negatives used to produce the prints or reprints.
