Now this is super awesome! I don't know if it works, but I want to build it like right now. (Funny, he says $10 USD, but at my country those materials costs about $30 USD)

You are not from the States ? :D

Nope. I'm not from The Great Nation of The 50 Stars. Which by the way reminds me that my friend just left for the US Navy. I wonder how will he come back. Stronger, bigger, more disciplined? Last time we ran together he tired out at what I would consider not good enough yet, but he was too stubborn to show it to me and pretended like he could still keep up with me. How can 8 years in the military transform a person I wonder. Hmmmmmmm. How I imagine he will come back: And of course, with better physical condition than me. Then it will be me the one who won't be able to keep up with him. :D

Don't seek the differences, there are many Psinter's :D . Enjoy the same Psinter who is willing to talk to you. That's the point. :D

I've never heard that expression, but it would be an insult.

It's a misquote of Moe from the Three Stooges. According to this site, the actual line is: "You're pretty smart for an imbecile!"

1000. :w It only took 5 1/2 years.

And now you'll spend the next 5 1/2 admiring it?

Well there is another expression which I never quite understood and that is: "You are pretty good for an idiot if I do say so myself." I don't know if it's a compliment or a soft insult.

Exactly as Evo says, it is an insult.
Similar cases can be observed as one states that the other is marrying his ex-wife who he might consider as a dumped trade. I have used a product for really loooooooonnnngggggggg but it never gets updated or polished; I don't want to dump it into the trash-bin because I also have a heart for "homeless" products :D. But if I "give" it to a "friend" without informing him carefully about the product's state then I actually insult that friend of mine. Don't you find it strange why the product never polished or gets polished itself after MANY years of use in MY own home ? I definitely can upgrade it myself but that I ask my friend to do that is something we need to think twice.

Cool! Exactly, it is a three fold in the US (to reach the mean value)

I think that if I'm really ambitious, I can reach 2000 by 2020.

It is not easy :(

That's for sure. I've probably deleted two posts for every post that I've made.

There is more work involved in trying to comprehend the posts in Calculus homework when not written in TeX than actually working with the problem itself :<

It reminded me of Orodruin's signature:

A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five. -- Groucho Marx​

Which, in my mind, implies self deprecating humour.

 

[nuuskur]

A child of five..

Is this is even...possible? :D

For a while there, I thought you said you had made 1000 crunches until others replied to you. Silly me.

In middle school:

Friends: You are in love? We are so happy for you. Wait until we tell the whole school, the whole internet, the FBI, the Russian military, and whoever else we find on our way. Even thought you explicitly told us it was a secret.

And in a week or so even the European Union knows you are in love.

 

[nuuskur]

Rumors spread even faster :D

The closest that I've been to that is once when I was watching a strong man contest on TV. I got motivated to do 300 pushups (sets of 25). It didn't take years.

Bought account upgrade for a year, can I play in the same sandbox with yous now? :D

Weird new trend for TV programming around here : TV shows starting at unusual times and with unusual duration. Example: George Lopez' show sometimes starts at 2:13 a.m and ends at 2:51 a.m. Other shows will start at, e.g., 1:07 a.m until 1:45 a.m. Must be just more commercials I guess.

Sure. But be aware of Evo.

@JorisL nope, but your post gave me an alert...

There's been some of that going on here, too. I don't like it. You can miss the start of the next thing you want to watch.

BTW Thanks for reminding me that I need to add Jim's quote to my special/meaningful list.

The context of a measurement involves multiple points in spacetime which are apparently linked without the constraint of the arrow of time, ...

We live in an observer dependent universe.

Owner Greg Bernhardt started Physics Forums as a high school extra credit project for a physics class in 2001.

I explained that the known laws of physics rule out such devices ...

6AM still killing Riemann tensors, dammit I shouldn't have forgotten this deadline :-(

Wonder what would happen if a poorly-trained robot read the sign in the Runner's store: " never stop running".
Seems like a good Turing test to tell appart people from machines.

Yeah, no. There are people with various neurological and psychiatric disorders who would take that sign literally.

I guess that is why the have the joke: my mom has been running 2 miles every day. We have no idea where she is.
