Adventurer

Congrats! Was it from a QLD uni?

That's really rough, but sounds like you're almost through it all! Wishing you best of luck!

Was it the only one in the store? If not why didn't you buy more? cats

Got the 256 GB i7 model - I'd been planning on getting one since the beginning of the year, so decided to go the bit extra and get one of the higher end models.

And yeah I have a friend who uses OneNote for their lecture notes at uni, though I haven't attempted yet, may try so after the break to get used to using it. I have terrible hand writing as it is though so will see how it goes.

Only problem I have with the analogy is where reboot vs continuation fits into it - it's a spectrum between the two and picking somewhere leaning far towards reboot with some continuation isn't betting against the obvious winner. It's not a discrete decision. Besides, are there really that many people out there arguing for a complete continuation? (I haven't seen many, but I think it's pretty easy to see that wouldn't be reasonable to expect. )

UTC+10:00 for life!

(Unless I move I guess which is a possibility...)

(But that's beside the point. )

Yeah definitely other way round for me - more abstract an less grounded in stuff it is the better I cope I've found. Was the algebra part of a general requirement for a maths degree, or did you need it for something specifically in statistics? (I don't know much about what stat students study though I've noticed more of them in the algebra type courses than the analysis type ones).

Sounds like more applicable and desirable skill set you have though -  which was a major attraction for me to wanting to do it earlier on.

I actually study Mathematics in uni. Can't say I am particularly fond of physics. In fact, any form of Mechanics is the bane of my life!

 

Then again, I am not too keen on abstract mathematics either. Stats for the world.

Woo! I almost chose to do stat and maths, but ended up going with physics, made the decision after classes had started that semester so was a close call. Somewhat on the opposite side of maths to me in some ways I guess though - my favourite parts of maths and physics are the abstract bits. I'm quite interested in Lie groups and algebras at the moment, hoping to do a project on them over the Summer.

Makes me feel there should be a slightly more sophisticated criteria for determining what makes a topic hot or not.

Yeah that seems to be the case - how long has it been like that? I only just noticed that like 80% of the topics I see are marked Hot.

I love math and physics! I'm probably going to get a degree in some field of physics in college, along with a music composition degree (two completely different degrees ).

 

Can't say that much on the papers, seeing as I'm not incredibly advanced in physics and math yet. Still got three years of high school left to get that fixed.

I have a friend who's studying plant science, sociology and music - those types of combinations can be pretty crazy but I imagine it'd be nice and diverse and fun.

I do genuinely have an interest in physics, but at the same time I don't think my brain is quite built for that sort of thinking. It's never been a strong area for me. Math, either. 

 

As for those articles, I sort of understand what they're saying but at the same time I don't know how it's relevant to anything.

I guess an easy way to sum, it up would be saying in situations in which quantum mechanics are significant, they've managed to "separate" a property of a system from the system. I heard someone describing it as having a green tree, but having the green not where the tree was. So it'd be like detecting the tree was to your left, but seeing the green to your right. (A horrible explanation sorry, but hopefully helps? )

I saw those quotes. But alas, my archives are longer.

 

Welcome back!

Yeah I've seen haha, had a look through earlier.

I have not seen you or Takua the Wanderer around for a loooong time. I assume you just recently emerged from a Battle Royale with him where you emerged as the victor after years of well-choreographed struggle?

I'd be happy if we all assumed that story.

Everything new is despised by some, I'm feeling the love though am still familiarising myself with things.

Mmm I noticed when I tried to get on not that long ago I think... Wow time is trippy.

I must say the new look is a bit more modern feeling though, so I guess it was partially worth the downtime at least?

Our state loves you.

There's a lot of long term damage being done, it's going to take a long time for people to recover.

Some amazing stories though, the floating restaurant etc... South Bank and the CBD going under...

Mmm we've moved to a safer location for now, while most the water is gone from our home, we still don't have any power and most the roads are shut off, so we're holding tight here for the weekend.

Awesome stuff! I've been investigating that map in some detail but still didn't pick that up.

Congratulations!

Shame on me too for thinking school mattered.

Also new banner...

It's addictive, don't let it overcome you!

Remember, this site is the real world, everything else is fake!

Lollops I have indeed.

Did that come out right?

Oh no, how could this have happened? There was even going to be free lunch! Did you tell them about the free lunch?

You're my brain?

None of those places are in Australia I don't think.

Oh well, just pretend that I'm there.
