Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
If it pisses you off so much, stop watching videos or create something entertaining that makes people want to send you things occasionally in return. People that make videos generally don't make 50 "I didn't find shit" videos for every score they have. The few that do probably aren't very fun to watch or popular. I know that a lot of entertainers, athletes, and other celebrities that are complete assholes have people throw money at them these days, but making cranky posts on Racket probably isn't going to work.GirlGamer55 wrote:This has been pissing me off for a while now but now it's gotten to the point where I'm just sick of it.

Man that sucks! Sorry dude.Jmustang1968 wrote:Found out this morning that the project I am on was cancelled. Not worried about my job, but I will probably have to move to a further office again after coming back to the closer one for just a few months.
@GirlGamer55 I think you've said you live in the Seattle area before. If that's the case so does MJR, he probably stole all of the games from your locals.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
It was an incredibly simple idea. Each member of my group would through a Frisbee five times, equaling 20 totals throws. We had to throw it at least 14 meters and time how long it was in the air to determine it's average velocity and figure out the consistency of the throws.
The girl in our group demanded to do the write-up. We agreed and didn't know what we were getting into. Our teacher has very particular requirements for the lab write-up: how it is composed, use of grammar and tense, organization etc. all of which she did not do. She refused to throw the Frisbee because she didn't know how.
What she did do was re-write our lab manual's instructions verbatim as part of our lab write up, something we were expressly told not to do. She wouldn't let us look at the write-up to help correct her, did not listen to our instructions and turned it in without our consent. She complained that we didn't have faith in her abilities to do the lab, wrote our input incorrectly in the write-up and was overall horrible person. The professor was not present for the lab and instead it was a tutor. Told them the situation and am writing the professor an email as soon as I cool down.
I know he will allow us to rewrite this lab, it being our first, but I need that girl to get out of our group. She told us to stop our project so that she could take a vine of us throwing a Frisbee. Got mad at me for stating, "One of the major sources of error in this project that we have to put in is that the way data was collected is wrong. We needed to have four sets of data for the four people throwing, not all four of us collected as a group. That creates inconsistencies." (that by the way is something our teacher was SPECIFICALLY looking for as an issue. The project itself was built wrong with the intent of us explaining why and how that affected the results)
Her reply was, "You saying I can't throw a frisbee? Is that what your saying? Your saying I can't throw a frisbee huh!? That's what your saying."
Don't know how those two statements are even related.
I am sorry for complaining about school. I would rant to my wife but she has to work overnight in a graveyard shift so she is asleep... so I must rant rant rant! Thanks for putting up with me

Happy Birthday (tomorrow)! Sorry about school! Hope you get her kicked out of your group! But then someone has to deal with her! Sucks for them!

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
Thank you good sir! I appreciate it! I think my wife has something planned up her sleeve as a surprise for my birthday. She is amazing at surprises. I have learned not to even try to figure it out, that just ruins things. Just go with the flow, no matter the outcome, the fact that someone likes you enough to even think about planning a surprise is good enough.Stark wrote:Happy Birthday (tomorrow)! Sorry about school!

Dear professor;BogusMeatFactory wrote:Had my first physics lab today. Let me explain how this works. We do ten labs in the semester and each person in our group, which is four total people, is responsible for writing up two lab reports. How well they write up that report determines, not only their points for writing the report, but our overall grade for the lab. If they mess it up, so too is our grade.

Please allow me to express a simple physics problem which I fear will come true with the full force of Newtonian Law. When I attempted to perform physics lab experiment A, lab partner x endeavored to cause no work (W) to be done by being an oppositional force F1 proportional to my team's positive force F, leading to time t being wasted with the additional affect of energy U being consumed as heat through increased body temperature due to anger. If steps are not taken to prevent lab partner x, further t and U will be wasted, leading to lab experiments B-D remaining unfinished and with no W shown, resulting in a grade of 'F' for me and my fellow lab partners.
Please find a way to counterbalance F1, professor.
Sincerely,
BogusMeatFactory
