My trebuchet underwent rapid unplanned disassembly today in Tech

[Aqizzar]

I have a take-home final exam due Friday night.  I want to get it done by tomorrow night, so I'll have Friday to myself.  I want to get half done tonight, and half tomorrow, because I think it'll take about that long altogether.

So why, why am I sitting here, playing Minecraft or typing posts or literally just clicking on random desktop icons?  Why am I doing absolutely anything except what I know I have to do, and even want to for my own reward?  This is the last trial of work-ethic I'll have to worry about in college, so why am I trying fail myself at it?

[Gunner-Chan]

Dude just do it. Just... Do it. Hell if you have Killing floor after you're done maybe you me cag and maybe squid and shadow can all play a game.

[Aqizzar]

Yeah, that was mostly just melodramatic whinging.  It's my way of entertaining myself.  Anyway, I'm starting right now.  The honest answer is, I just don't want to go through the arduous process of flipping back and forth through textbooks looking for pages to support the answers I already have.  Creditable notation is a such a fucking chore.

Also, for a few minutes there I thought it was 6PM and not 4PM.  That was a weird feeling.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Just opened my email, only to find about a hundred emails from my parents... Why do they feel the need to constantly try and ruin my fucking life... Every time I start to get over some... memories, they drag them all up from the depths.. I feel fucking sick... I don't think they're going to leave this.... I spend every waking moment terrified that they'll find me and every moment of sleep having  nightmares, why do they constantly feel the need to destroy my life....

I know how you feel. I;ve got a C programming part of my ocurse and the SIZE of the damn text books is astounding. You want me to go through nearly 1000 pages to find something to support my answer? I'm using wikipedia thanks.

[KaguroDraven]

If I where a normal person Merchant I would suggest getting another email address or perhaps looking up on laws to see if they are doing something that might be consitered illegal with this, like harrasment.
Since I am not a normal person, I suggest finding something that makes you happy, preferibly something that can't leave, latch on, and keep a blunt weapon, like a bat, near by incase they do ever come by.

I don't have Killing Floor :s

I don't have Killing Floor :s

... I THOUGHT YOU DID. I swear I saw your squiddly face in the steam library page for it...

That a person named Fniff has a really one track mind on my game, stealing. Just try to follow the plot for a bit -.-

If my graphics card hadn't conked out like this I would have been in the same situation. Hell, I'm kinda in it as I can still sorta use this thing. Two empty untouched math homeworks, just because i was a lazy ass who was too intimidated by it to even start.
 And blerg, one would think it would take less time than this to ship something two states away.

Physics homework is giving me some problems, and I don't quite get the book's explanation of these problems

Spoiler: For those interested (click to show/hide)

 You have two blocks connected by a string looped through a pulley. one is located on a table and weighs 422N. the other is hanging from the pulley on the edge of the table and weighs 185N. Ignoring all frictional forces, and assuming the pulley and string are massless, find a)the acceleration of both blocks and b)the tension in the rope.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Wouldn't the acceleration be zero?

[Vector]

Wouldn't the acceleration be zero?

Yeah, I was going to say... acceleration zero, tension big one minus small one?

[Leafsnail]

Acceleration zero?  Huh?

There's no friction between the table and the block, so there's nothing countering the weight of the hanging block, right?  Unless I'm being stupid and missing something obvious.

Can't really give you a precise answer, though, since pulleys is what I'm moving onto next lesson .
