† Emotional Outlet Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Household dishwashers tend not to be very interesting until they malfunction--look at all the soapy bubbles!If it weren't for the smell and the possibility of having parasites take over my brain, I don't actually mind sifting through kitty litter. Also the cats need to not pee when I'm in the middle of cleaning their litter box. They'll just push past me and then pop a squat. It's just like... "Really?"

lemmingllama Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 See, its because cats know that they are the masters of their domain. You feed them, clean up after them, and pamper them, plus they can get away with just about anything. See, cats are smarter than we give them credit for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Mute point Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have my cats trained. During the day they go outside to pee and poop same as the dog. and they go on walks with the dogs too. They'll even do tricks I taught Angel one that I call "Gimme" because she stands up on her back legs and grabs the treat or toy with her front paws. Just the treat or cookie, not my hand. Both cats will also sit, lay down, and fetch. Both cats and the dog respond equally well to whistles and hand signs, as well as voice commands. Though I can't take credit for teaching them the voice commands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dae314 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 The next thing you need to try is discrete mathematics. I think I love that subject more than any other area of math right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaoclazmMJR Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 The next thing you need to try is discrete mathematics. I think I love that subject more than any other area of math right now.Have you tried Algebraic Topology or Real Analysis yet? (I'm not sure how much you have done in Discrete Math)The true difficulty in math does not lie in working in any particular field (i.e. calc, non-linear algebra, etc) it lies in simply proving theorems and conjectures (i.e. Ramsey Theory, Poincaré conjecture, etc) using all of the knowledge that you have acquired through your years of work in any given area.

Dae314 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm not going to get that far into math :3. At least not yet; my major is computer science. However I do have experience with proof writing, and that was what I was trying to refer to with discrete math. Usually that's the course that's used to transition you from problem solving to theorem proving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've always wanted to toilet train my cats, but I've never been home around enough.We've tried taking Willis and Gertie outside on leashes, but Willis got scared of everything and Gert got cold after about five minutes of exploring. They're not allowed by law to be outdoor cats, so we have to keep them on leashes when we take them out. We'll have to try again later when the weather warms up some more.

lemmingllama Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 EO, just give them little cat suits, then they will be warm. Oh and Willis needs one with spikes so he wont be afraid of anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that's the course that's used to transition you from problem solving to theorem proving.I def know what u mean with all the proofs Have you ever read any of the "The Art of Computer Programming" volumes by Donald Knuth one of the World's greatest Computer Scientists? Now that's some dense math for you if you like discrete math (hundreds and hundreds of pages of searching and sorting ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Obtaining a copy of that exact book you mentioned for pleasure reading (when I have time to read stuff on my own after college >.>) is one of my goals . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Emotional Outlet Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I woke up around eleven tonight--I think I heard gunfire earlier in the evening after Java went to work? I was very confused but just went back to sleep.Yay for living in shady neighbourhoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 It probably wasnt gunfire, well hopefully. A lot of the time, its some kind of firework or firecracker. Well, either that or some teenagers doing stupid things. One time we tried to shoot gunpowder with flaming arrows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 It could have been gunfire. I am suspicious of everything around me. The little mini-mart up the road is so shady. We call it SHADY MART--I was telling my supervisor about it and he was like, "That's not a good name for a mini-mart!" That is not actually the name.I fear the shenanigans my future children will get up to. Java has a thing for rockets and blowing things up... his eyebrows have gone missing at least once before.

lemmingllama Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wow, sounds like a really rough neighbourhood! I would personally not enjoy living there unless I had some nice neighbours.When I was younger, there was this mart across the street from my school, it was called Yaghi's Food Mart or something. We all swore that they sold weapons since the owner was some big Russian and people would walk out with these giant bags Also EO, Java is a man. I think it is safe to say that basically all men have a little pyro in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I wonder whatever happened to that ball kicking threat? That thread was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Are you buying it or getting the ebook?Traditional book of course! How else will it look nice an pretty up on my bookshelf (when I get a bookshelf)? I've kept all the books from college that I've enjoyed so far and plan to start a collection :3.
