You know what's stuck in my head? Aerodynamically Integrated Retrograde Braking Robustly Armed Kinetic Extending System! Anyways: School, yet again: We had nothing to do. Some (all) played games, some talked to each other... and I think I found a new sorting algorithm? I tested it with 15 "randomly" placed items (numbers from 1 to 15) and it took 12 iterations to sort. I split the entire list into pairs of 2 and swapped the numbers if the larger value was first. Otherwise I kept them as is. Then I offset the grouping by one (so that the first number is no longer part of a pair and, as a result, is ignored) and repeat the comparisons. Here's the entire list from my "random" shuffle to the sorted list. I marked the pairs with brackets []. (In the next row, the comparison is already done, don't get confused) I'd like to try the algorithm with a bigger number of objects (maybe 100 or 1000) and on a computer (takes less time, you know), but I don't know how to code anything, much less a sorting algorithm. Edit: Seems to be an Odd-Even-Sort.

Not only that, if you imagine the sphere in two dimensions with the hole running vertically from top to bottom and you running around the circumference of the circle, your y-coordinate will always be equal to the y-coordinate of the ball. You both basically travel a r*cos(x) plot, where r is the radius of the sphere.

These just look so strange...

Oh no, what have I started?? I should have written "Must have been quantum tunneling" instead... Yeah, I messed up the "joke" with wrong phrasing. Get over it now, please?

Between the second and third lesson in school, my pen disappeared. It was nowhere to be found; it didn't fall into my bag, it also wasn't lying on the ground and I assume someone stole it (this class is basically full of people who behave like <5, I hope your school does/did better). There are some people in my class who would surely be capable of doing that. Then the pen reappeared in the sixth lesson. It was between to tables; mine and the one next to me. I could've sworn it wasn't there before. I guess I've seen some quantum tunneling.

I can do better than that! Looks at my art(-ful connections)!

I think I know what happened. Your calculator cares about order of operations. Make sure to put brackets where required. Your calculator is doing is this: (6*200)+(1500/130.94*9.81), which equals 1312.37971... What you really want to do is this: (6*200+1500)/(130.94*9.81), which equals 2.10195.

Banned for not specifying these "personal reasons".

Blinds* update: Day 2. The blinds* are (somewhat) working again! We got close to making them work again several times, but the wire/string/belt/whatever always loosed enough to break away. We put a screw into the coil to act as a hook because the original one broke off too. Then some of the blinds* weren't connected to another properly, we accidentally connected the coil in the wrong direction (rolled clockwise instead of counterclockwise),... In short: Problems were solved, new problems arose. The belt also broke off that screw. Understandable; these blinds* aren't light, they weigh quite a lot. The working solution was, ironically: Moar Screws! I can't fully open the blinds* unfortunately, but I can open them to about 4/5. That's enough for me. * I don't think "blinds" is the appropriate word to use, since blinds are on the inside of the building. These are on the outside and solid, not folding.

Granted, it runs out in 5 minutes. I wish for a visit to Mars.

Oh no... I'm only 4857485794758465695609567867435141326453987540685685346563437y35465324638463872647634784584766458853.999999... tetrameters away.

My window blinds broke today. Well, the "string" that held them did. Now my room is completely dependent of internal light sources. Repairing started today and it'll (hopefully) be done tomorrow.

Granted. Earth surpassed its Schwarzschild radius. I wish Earth was a torus (that wouldn't collapse to a sphere under its own gravity)

I do similar things in math lessons. The work we do should go over multiple days (90 minute lessons, two days per week), but I'm done with it 10 minutes before the end of the first day. So I've got over 90 minutes doing nothing. Time to draw some Lissajous curves, Julia sets or other (mathematical) stuff and get looked at weirdly from everyone else!

I assume you mean escape velocity? Why didn't you let it burn up in Duna's atmosphere?

Well that's a... minor inconvinience, isn't it?

No. The user below me is currently using a laptop.

The pellet doesn't have to enter from the opposite wall. I got it in by placing a portal on the far left side of the wall (if you're standing on the platform). But I also lost the vertical portal that way, so rotation was impossible. I already got stuck in chamber 3 for a moment. I always faced either the orange portal or away from it. The problem is that you have to rotate yourself in Chamber 2 (because there is no other way).

I've also tried playing Portal with no mouse movements. It took a few attempt, but I eventually ended up in chamber 8, where I'm stuck. I got the Aperture Science High Energy Pellet into the receiver thing (my descriptions are on point today!), but I can't get to the platform that leads to the elevator.

You know you are a nerd when you integrate the volume of a pyramid (or any other pointy 3D object)... in class. You know you are a nerd when the rest of the class watches a film (because Technology!! and last day of school before Christmas) and you complain about how unrealistic it is. You then decide that drawing an approximation of the Mandelbrot Set is a better use of your time.

A CME would've also done it. Anyway; granted, it now has a resolution of 65536*65536, but noone actually changed the texture to make use of the new resolution. I wish for a pizza.
