The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Having the easiest homework day ever. I've heard the word asymptote thrown around by higher ed students and thought determining them would be difficult, at a basic function though at least they're a piece of cake. My only mistake so far was in analyzing an imaginary number as a possible vertical because I forgot imaginaries don't count.
 
Yeah asymptotes are not bad if you know limits. I'm guessing you're in precalculus by the sound of things? I taught that class last semester.

Imaginary things may matter to you at some point depending on how far you go, don't disregard them completely
 
Yes, pre-calc. I'm glad you mention that. My web homework wouldn't accept my imaginary vertical, kinda dumb to lead students to believe that IMO if eventually it would be a valid answer. Especially since we do use imaginary numbers for other applications currently, why exclude them from asymptotic analysis in the curriculum? Seems more logical to explain things as they are, not throw a complication in expecting you to give up on it and provide an answer of 'does not exist'.

Lol maybe I just answered my own complaint. Wordplay.

well to be fair "eventually" is 2-3 years past your math class. Not that you couldn't understand such things now, it's just the way they order the classes. It's in classes like Complex Analysis which you'd see as a senior level math course if you were a math major.

We've talked about hopping across to somewhere for a few days but I don't think it'll be Poland. I'll let you know where we go if we do it.

man Prague this time of year is fucking brutal with 18 YO Americans and 70 year old people. Hit up Krakow, it's better and very similar to Prague. And cheaper. Poland #1
 
Not much, love vaccuming my apartament, dirt devil, shit sucks like a mother fucker.
 
Fuck yeah, holidays.

Booking flights to South Korea and Japan for this November today, leaving after the semester's exams. Keen as fuck, secondhand record stores in Osaka are honestly worth travelling for. Hopefully won't go over the luggage weight allowance again due to impulsive LP purchases.

Did he take you that pub with the blue hippo outside it? All we did was pub crawl and drink Urquell while I was there and it was lovely.

I don't remember a blue hippo though I'm sure he mentioned it. It was next to the whore houses and it was called illegal bar. We're hanging out again so hopefully I'll get a picture with him and have more beers naturally
