  1. Bad news. Over 95% of all shark attacks take place in 3 ft of water OR LESS. Think about. That's where the majority of the people are. In waist deep water when sharks attack them. Yes, many shark attacks of surfers are in deeper waters, however, believe it or not, most surfers are never attacked.

    Background story:

    Someone at the EPA (who presumably runs the EPA's social media accounts) attached the EPA's twitter handle to his "Kim Kardashian Hollywood" game on his smartphone.  When he/she passed a certain level a message autoposted to the twitter account saying, "I got to level XYZ.  Come join me in Kim Kardashian's Hollywood."  The EPA deleted the tweet but not before it was retweeted ~3,000 times.

     

    The EPA posted another tweet joking that, "Hey at least it gets our name out there.  Thanks for the help, Kim Kardashian," to which Congressman Dingell sent the tweets above.

     

    I really wish that guy wasn't retiring, because his tweets almost make me want to donate to him.

    Haha, I was in a bar watching that.  We all got a solid laugh out of that when they aired it.

     

    Still- I remember that feeling from more than a few Redskins' games from my youth.  I would hate to have that captured with a billion people watching.

  4. So these two stories just came up on my facebook feed back to back...

     Yummy.

     

     

    Oh gross.

     

    They are tearing down a bunch of cubicles at work today and there is a rumor going around that the workers found droppings that were "larger than mouse droppings"

    i want that meat...in my mouth.  now.

  5. I went through quite a bit of Engineering and Physics without any calculator. I remember one time I showed up to a physics exam (I'd been skipping class all semester and decided to attend again one day, and it happened to be mid-term day) without a calculator and my pages were just a mess of hand-calculations (equations strewn everywhere since I'm a flow-of-thought type rather than structured and neat), but I still managed an A- on it.

     

    LOL, well done.

     

    I remember preparing for some exam and taking some ridiculous amalgamation of equations and solving it out so I had the real and imaginary parts of the equation completely separated and I could now compute them on my calculator.

  6. Yup, my TI-89's default setting was fraction mode. It's very helpful when you have to simplify certain equations. Those calculators are an engineer's best friend... Yes, I'm a nerd.

     

    You guys are amateur.  I got through my engineering curriculum with the original TI-82.  That thing didn't even do imaginary numbers.

  7. I have a calculator that does that, and I love it. In engineering, I don't always need decimal values, so sometimes it's better just to have a simplified fraction. I can press a button to change it from a fraction to a mixed fraction or engineering notation, so whichever form of the solution is most useful is a button-press away.

     

    As an engineer I agree.  But as a former middle school student, 26,590,040/5 doesn't have the same ring to it as 5318008
