[SS-18 ICBM]

Calculus would have some uses, especially to an artillery officer I think.

But it would mostly be the artillerymen who would be doing the calculations.

And knowing the difference between a sniper rifle and anti-tank weapon takes only superficial knowledge really

Oh really?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Differential calculus is good for maximising variables.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Head Like A Hole is from 1989, which is only one number off. And it includes the line "I'd rather die" so...

I posted what song it is in What music are you listening to

 

[Fanatic Noob]

My question: How to convince people here, that you are not Fascist, when you have high P.C. score?

My question: How to convince people here, that you are not Fascist, when you have high P.C. score?

Don't post your policomp score? It's irrelevant anyway, not a very good metric for politics in the first place. If you want to convince people you're not a fascist, don't act like a fascist.

 

[Fanatic Noob]

But what if I am proud from my Nationality and P.C. score? It is something wrong?

 

[Dachs]

I can't imagine why you would be proud of a semi-arbitrary set of numbers that don't really apply to you by your own admission.

 

[Fanatic Noob]

Becuz I am Fanatic Noob and King of Noobism at once? Dunno... I just like P.C. that's why I post them. Not like all questions and answers are brilliant. But show me better test based on two axis system (or better 3 axis like Nation States political game) then I will consider to change my test to that.

Ms. Cactus sent me this picture she made. But she would not tell me what it is. Any idea? I think its supposed to be a fist but theres missing fingers and what are the two things at the top

<snip> that wasn't a very nice picture

 

[cardgame]

oh my god

 

[madviking]

It's a magic wand.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

oh my god

What?

I dont think it's a magic wand because I asked and she went

 

[ParadigmShifter]

It's a badly drawn floppy penis.

 

[Brian Shanahan]

Cover your eyes Aimee you're too young for such smut.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Oh. I've seen diagrams of those in books. But they didn't look like that. Should I remove it so I don't get in trouble?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Could be a good plan

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I removed that.

On the album credits it says "Bouzouki." Isnt that a portable rocket launcher? Its not in my dictionary.

EDIT: Not a person. Its an instrument. See that

Greek guitar like musical instrument.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

It's a type of Greek ukulele, made famous from the "Cheese sketch" from Monty Python:

EDIT: Actually, it's more like a mandolin.
