  1. @carcinopony Gotcha. But even so, linear equations can be handy enough for modelling simple everyday stuff. Example: Let's say you have $500 saved up, and you also have a part time job that nets you $200 a week. How much money will you have in a month? Two months? Using your knowledge of linear equations, you can set your wealth to be W(x) = 500 + 200x where x is number of weeks worked, and thus calculate your wealth at any point in time (x = 4 for one month, x = 8 for two months).

  2. @foxox This is very true. I guess what I was getting at was, it sounded like @carcinopony was talking about linear equations in an introductory context, i.e. hasn't been introduced to linear algebra yet. I may be wrong though.

  3. @foxox Linear algebra and linear equations are really different. Lin Alg is like.. matrices and vectors. Linear equations are 1st order polynomials.

  4. @theawesomepony Starcraft is a really popular sci-fi RTS game.

  6. @nvrrmbr Hm, how about a fanfic where the ponies are stranded on an island, Cast Away style?

  8. @zarkanorf Thanks! I can't wait to walk into the office with my MLP pins on my work bag... hahaha.

  13. @flutterguy93 Go for it. I BELIEVE!

  14. @nvrrmbr Haha, no need to worry then. Also - math gets so much cooler after Algebra 2; I'm sure you'll enjoy it! :D

  15. @delc17 A winner is you! Want another problem? I think it might be more fun to do a harder problem involving the rainboom effect itself. :D

    Sunday, 29-May-11 22:47:38 UTC from web in context
  16. @nvrrmbr It's actually not too bad. It's a single-equation problem. :)

  17. @nvrrmbr Whoa, that is a SERIOUSLY cute version of Rainbow Dash. Is it a paper cutout? I can't quite tell from the image.

  18. Here's a good brain exercise for some bronies: Rainbow Dash flies horizontally at a constant speed of 10 m/s. At t = 0, she begins to flap her wings harder, giving her a constant horizontal acceleration of 8 m/s^2. After how many seconds will she reach Mach 1, producing a Sonic Rainboom? Assume Mach 1 is 330 m/s; ignore all drag effects.

  19. @rapidash cheesecake. Especially with fruits.

  20. @retl I like the idea of this phrase. Just picture yourself going outside each morning, ready to face the world. You put your pony face on, and it's TIME TO CLOP.

  21. @flaxx Well, the problem was more having my girlfriend for sleepovers while my parents were out... hahaha. But yes. I typically handle any disagreement with my parents in a similar manner.

  22. @starlightbolt Yeah, I'm not really sure how my parents will respond to the whole MLP thing. I tend to handle these things maturely enough though. I remember when I got a girlfriend, I was at the dinner table with my parents and I was all, "YEAH, WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT? NOTHING."

  23. @abigpony I asked my older brother for the present, and considering that CardCaptor Sakura is one of his favourite TV shows, I can't really see MLP being a problem. :D

  24. I just asked for the 4-pack of MLPs (Twilight/Rainbow/Rarity/Pinkie) for my 19th birthday present. Breaking social norms FTW!

  25. @madflavors Not liking MLP for a reason like that might have more to do with sexual insecurity as opposed to homophobia.

  26. @keeponrocking this is true - I think RDN is one of the few places where the public feed is super-friendly. It's like Twitter, but made of rainbows and sunshine.

  28. @theawesomepony that's pretty adorable. You should try using non-lined paper though.
