That’s the joke.
I hope.
Case in point.
Hurr durr what if I just multiply the whole thing by 4a for some reason? Oh and then after that I’ll add b² to both sides, just for shits and giggles. And for good measure, I’ll move a few numbers from one side to the other, and that leaves me with 4a²x² + 4abx + b² = b² - 4ac.
And then golly gee! Wouldn’t you know it? That just happens to let the left side factor neatly into (2ax + b)²! So I’ll just take the square root of both sides…
No!
No!
Bad!
This is fucking voodoo. I hate this shit. It’s like trigonometric substitution.
Math is procedural. Math is algorithmic. Math is repeatable.
“If these numbers looked a little different than they do, I could solve this. Oh, wow! If I just sprinkle these magic values into my problem, everything works out great!”
Oh yes, I can see how if you just plug in this shit you pulled out of your ass, everything works out great! But when you aren’t around for a fecal transfer, I have no idea how to come up with that.
I was top of my class in math. But that voodoo shit never made any sense to me.
And there is absolute value of zero chance I could figure all that out in the heat of the moment if I forgot the quadratic formula. I had to work backwards from the formula to even get all that in the first place.
I’ve been hearing the Donkey Kong song in my head for the last 6 hours. If you know how to make it stop, I’m all ears.
Except in glacier, because English is fucked.
I can. But I can’t hear it at all.
A paste of baking soda and water on cotton balls worked well for me, albeit tedious.
or my CPU, which kind of doubt
Not a 13-14 gen Intel, per chance?
It reads very “if it ain’t broke, take it apart and fix it”
Beep tha boop outta here
Exploding drones. They’re basically ordinance.
Nobody:
Crowdstrike:
Sysadmin here. Wtf are you talking about? All we did was “rapidly fix the issue by disabling Crowdstrike module.” Or really, just the one bad file. We were back online before most people even woke up.
What do you think Crowdstrike can do from their end to stop a boot loop?
They confiscated the portal tech and shipped it away in crates marked classified and with the Daystrom Institute logo.
Wesley said Solum needed to invent that tech so that the Protostar could be sent back in time. So the Federation clearly didn’t have anything like it yet.
What are the odds this is the precursor to the portal tech stolen and used by Vadic in Picard season 3?
In 2x01, yes.
