Hi there Terry

Have you recovered from the drops? Were they the glow in the dark ones looking for scratches?

Hi Bucket! I am not sure if they glow in the dark.  The drops were to dilate the pupils so that they could do the tests and measurements for cataract surgery next month.  My cataracts are to the stage that I can't see anything clearly even with my high powered prescription lenses.  I am looking forward to seeing the world again soon.

There is a machine now that uses a quick flash of light to dilate your pupils.  No annoying eye drops that make you half blind for the rest of the day.

Hi Guys!  Since I had an early wake up for the Dr appt. I am now sleepy and heading off to bed.  Hope you all have a good day.  Tell Drew to hold down the bombing.  In need my beauty sleep tonight!

Hey Spike! Nice to know! I hated staying indoors today. The drops are also annoying as the sting like a bee for 3 or 4 minutes after they are administered.😭

I hate eye drops! Actually, I don't like anything going near my eyes. Like, in high school, I acted in several plays, and it was always a struggle to get makeup on me, 'cause when the eyeliner approached one of my eyes, I'd start blinking like crazy.  

Wuss.

I fear for you Spike, your bud Drew has already claimed him I am surprised that Gary put any one up

He's a lovely addition to my herd, Handsome!  Ontario will not be Deathstarred, for now...

Tomorrow is my 8th Anniversary on GA, so to celebrate I hereby claim @Headstall's Man-for-Tuesday in advance.  

So, back off @Albert1434, @clochette, and @spike382!  

I thought about bombing Dallas, but no... Spikey deserves a worse punishment. At least for him...

🤔🤔🤔

Oh wow, just to illustrate how freaking tired I’ve been the last couple of days, I totally thought your post was on Sunday.  I concede to your claim your Emperorness.  
 

In my defense, Gary had to go and post the exact sort of guy I’d claim. Notice the lack of facial hair?

I blame Gary, he clearly wanted drama.

Since you did concede, I'll show some mercy by providing an equation sheet for you.  

Now why would you need an equation sheet for your punishment?

Oh @spike382! 😁 You have until midnight to solve this problem (8 hours from now), good luck! 😉

You have to show your work.  Spitting out a random number ain't gonna cut it.

Well first of all, you seemed to miss the reference so that’s a big thumbs down.

Secondly, I only operate in real numbers, not theoretical numbers.  So, with all the actual numbers missing from the question, my answer on the multiple choice quiz would have been N.E.I.

BUT, I have a feeling you’re going to pull out one of those formulas with all the variables multiplied and divided by other variables, that I swear to god terrifies me and breaks my brain worse than looking at Cthulhu…

[Drew Espinosa]

I'll help you get started @spike382. First, assume that all forces other than gravity are negligible. Second, you have givens in the problem, it's a matter of plugging them into the right equations.  

So here are the known variables, or givens:

First, 42 is not the answer to life or the universe.

I just provided you givens, so this is now a moot point.

I'm not that cruel.  Just look to my still-disowned-sister if you want cruel.

Then again, I do take for granted what each variable means, with that in mind...

• x and y are the horizontal and vertical displacements respectively
• the x and y components of v are the horizontal and vertical velocities
• v itself is the speed
• t is the time
• a is the acceleration
• the subscript of 0 represents the initial conditions
• the subscript of c signifies that a is constant.

Does this help?
