For any French speaking person, Capcom was one of the greatest sources of information for a long time (excepted for the orthographic faults...) One of their best contribution was to give an early access to the final inquiry of VA88 failure in 96. Their pages contain a lot of pictures hard to find, even on the most common search engine.

Gargamel Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Sooooo..... State Police Trooper just dropped me off at my house. Went out on a first date with a girl. Went well. Had a few drinks. Driving home trooper pulls me over. Light over my license plate is out. He smells alcohol on me, which I freely admit to having a couple few drinks with dinner. He gives the field sobriety test. Can't see his finger without my glasses on, so I have trouble focusing on it. And then I stumbled when doing the walk cause I'm an uncoordinated fool. Places me under arrest for DUI. Cuffs and everything. Get to the barracks to do the breathalyzer. His attitude to me has changed the more realizes I am in no way intoxicated. Blow a .015. Limit is .08. He then realizes he really dropped the ball on this one, and says he wont give me a ticket since the impound fees will be a bit of their own (They had to tow the car). He then gives me a ride home. Gives me my stuff back, after handcuffing me again, this time in front, so I'm trying to hold onto my keys and phone at the same time. Got a great selfie in the back of the cop car, cuffs included.

Delay Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Can anyone confirm that there are no Pythagorean triples where one of the legs is equal to half the hypotenuse? Because if that's correct I accidentally just proved that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if that's correct I accidentally just proved that. Shouldn't work..... Spoiler A2 + B2 = C2 given that its a right triangle and what not. C = 2B (from what you were saying). Therefore, A2 + B2 = 4B2 . From that, A2 = 3B2 . Taking the square root of it, you get A=(sqrt 3)B which also is the same as saying (A/B) = sqrt 3. Square root three cannot be rational so there's a contradiction meaning that there cannot be any Pythagorean triple with that property. At least if the math is correct. Curious to see your proof.....

cubinator Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 My afternoon snack involved a giant water bug, among other assorted crispy critters, as part of the activity in my entomology class. An unusual flavor to end the semester's classes on, certainly. Almost spicy? Ultimately quite palatable, but god help you if you try to chew the tough wings to swallowable bits in a reasonable amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Baron Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Did you glue the poor cat to the shelf ? Watched the hike through the depths of Moria and the bridge of Khazad Dhum (or whatever it is called) with a spider. The spider (one of these hunting spiders, maybe 5cm with legs) took its time crawling through the projector field from lower right to upper left (i spent some time trying to calculate OpenGL coordinates) and even a "Fly, you fools !" couldn't accelerate it. I was too lazy (and a cat was sleeping on my lap) and the family visitors who were watching were so amused, we let it live. :-) Edited December 15, 2018 by Green Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 My family is literally getting ready to put our Christmas tree up right now. Just quickly browsing the forums before I have to go and put decorations on it. Every year we go a little bit OTT with Christmas - we always end up with an enormous 7 foot tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberBullyPolice Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We usually have a 16 footer put up in our family room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Not putting up a tree this year. Too much of a hassle. When I was married and owned my home (The dissoultion of the former resulted in the loss of the latter), we had put the tree up in a corner of a room we barely used. It stayed up for 9 years. After each thanksgiving we'd shake it to get the dust and spiders out. @RealKerbal3x and @CyberBullyPolice, over the top trees are just a function of the room size vs the size of the tree.
