I always thought ending the diary "I'm making a break for it. Getting my shotgun, shooting those seven zombies hanging around, going over the wall, into my pick-up and driving off. If it goes wrong... well, I won't know." with that was always the best option fo Apocalyptic Logs. It tells you whether or not you're an optimist or a pessimist. Yeah, he could have gotten swarmed when he ran out of bullets by the remaining five or he could have made a break for it without firing or only firing one shot.

And then you look outside and see him shambling along the garden path.

I learned today that the teacher I'm having next year for Pre-Cal makes you memorize the Unit Circle.  And he'll keep testing you on it till you get it correct.  And it's too late to lower my level of math.   

I don't really see what's so creepy about creepypasta.  It taste a bit strange, but SCP is far worse.
Huh. I've always thought that SCPs weren't that scary, but I've been terrified by some creepypasta.

My problem isn't the stories, it's the images. As such I find a lot of the SCP and creepypasta stuff bland, but every once in a while there is an image on there that just chills the bones.

I learned today that the teacher I'm having next year for Pre-Cal makes you memorize the Unit Circle.  And he'll keep testing you on it till you get it correct.  And it's too late to lower my level of math.
An easy thing that I found to help me remember the various positions is a simple little counting trick with only a few steps:
1)All co-ordinates are fractions. The bottom of the fraction is always 2, and the top is always under a square root sign.
2)Assume a circle like this, with the 4ths and 6th's present.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
3)Starting on the outside co-ordinates at the righthand side and moving in a circle (so the top right quadrant) the top of the fraction goes 0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4. When placed with the sqrt() and the 2 denominator you end up with , which simplifies to . As you can see this corresponds to the top right quadrant in a spiral pattern starting from the outer right and moving up.
4)To create the other quadrants slide (not rotate) your upper right quadrant one set of co-ords at a time to the new quadrant and then add negatives to align with the new space. (So your 60 degree co-ordinate pair becomes your 120 and 300 degree pairs with a negative added in the respective co-ordinate, or becomes your 240 degree co-ordinate with two negatives added).

Unless it has a point. But then it stops being Maths and then becomes Physics. :P

Assuming you understand what the circle is about, remembering the thing isn't that hard.

And you can draw one in your calculator :P

i2amroy, wth did you just post. I'm doing the same thing in school and even I have no idea.
 
At least I know the graphs of sin(x)! And cos(x), and tan(x).

e^(ix) = cos(x) + isin(x)!

I can't be entirely sure, since darkling theme makes the fractions in the post hard to read, but he's essentially just pointing out that you can remember all the unit circle co-ordinates with counting and three small memories. Stare at the numbers just outside the unit circle he posted and you'll get it.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

I love octopi but other people find them scary for some reason.
Octopi: When humans leave the Earth (peacefully or otherwise), they will be the ones to inherit the world.

Seriously, these things are awesome.
