Whoops XD I confuse you with @Ultimate Steve sometimes Unless Ultimate Steve isn't in the US either. In which case... Welp... Yes, I am from Iowa. Not Iowa the state, but Iowa the country. You see, we seceded from Iowa the state in 2013 over the lack of an Iowa based space program, but nobody recognized us. Iowa, AKA Stratovogmnolia, consists of a few hundred square feet in my garage attic. BTW I should be doing my chemistry work right now but I'm using the school's chromebook to browse the forums... Oh, well, I've got an hour left in class anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should also make a homework/high school life/class discussion thread for all us still in secondary EDIT: That sort of stuff could probably fit in here though, so never mind Edited November 29, 2017 by Earthlinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Steve Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 On the walk home from school today I saw a jet transit the moon. Not particularly special, but rare. According to a reddit post (only source I could find) the moon comprises 0.00106% of the sky, so, pretty rare indeed. Also that reminds me, a few weeks back I saw the moon perfectly positioned on top of a tower of some sort, it looked like an evil genius's weapon.

Piatzin Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Today in art class I listened to three of my classmates discuss how to pronounce the word 'squirrel.' One of them has English as a second language, and she couldn't say 'squirrel' properly. Unfortunately, she decided to spend the next half of the class trying to pronounce it, instead of, like, doing it at home, or something Basically, I spent about forty-five minutes listening to this: "Squiwell." "No not like that. Squirrel." "Squiewwl." "Not that either. Squirrel." "Squirrew." "Squirrel." "Sqwiell." "No." "Squiwrel?" "No...." "Squirrew." "....."

Was she German or something? Apparently, the word squirrel is hard to pronounce for them. IDK, just guessing. Also just to add one more - Squirble. Also... just looked at the word "squirrel"... it looks weird when I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) We watched a movie in RE. I was so uninterested and bored that I drew/hand-computed a z2+c Julia set with c=0. That was much more interesting. 2 hours ago, munlander1 said: The german is hard for me (an American) to pronounce. I don't struggle with "jewelry", "brewery" or "squirrel".

The Bavarian version is impossible to pronounce correctly for somebody not initiated to that "language", meaning all other Germans. It goes like "Oachkatzl" (oak cat), and the tail is an "Oachkatzlschwoaf", a common joke when it comes to Bavarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKosanianMethod Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 So this morning, I heard loud engine noises outside. There was firetruck and an ambulance in front of my friend's house. There was no way to get a car past the units, so I had to walk a quarter mile while it was 25F. I have no idea what was wrong, but I do know one of the kids has CP. I didn't hear them run code (siren), only lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
