00:03 <KooK> Hey DashedRainbows!

00:03 <KooK> You have a caffeine addiction :P

00:06 <DashedRainbows> But I hardly take it. I still have a pack of caffeine pills from months ago

03:15 <Cepheid> Welp.  Now I know why my discrete structures 2's assignments are so difficult.

03:15 * Schism flops in. "Found what you were missing?"

03:17 <Cepheid> It's because he likes riddles and puzzles, and is also an ***.  For example, I got as far as this, and was stumped for an hour and a half on it.  I needed to prove it equaled (5 - 4n) * 3^n:  6(9 - 4n) * 3^(n - 1) + 9(13 - 4n) * 3^(n - 2)

03:18 <Cepheid> Turns out, he wanted us to treat the 6 coefficient to the first term as "2 * 3^1" and the 9 coefficient as "3^2"

03:20 <Cepheid> Er, that + should be a -.

03:20 <PinkieShy> Hey cepheid

03:21 * DashedRainbows licks PinkieShy

03:21 <Cepheid> So you then have 2 * 3^1 * (9 - 4n) * 3^(n - 1) - 3^2 * (13 - 4n) * 3^(n - 2) = 2 * (9 - 4n) * 3^n - (13 - 4n) * 3^n = (18 - 8n) * 3^n - (13 - 4n) * 3^n = ((18 - 8n) - (13 - 4n)) * 3^n = (18 - 8n - 13 + 4n) * 3^n = (5 - 4n) * 3^n

03:21 * Schism goes cross-eyed.

03:22 *** Joins: Persona (Tilde@Pony-ptt4jh.fkl3.sln2.6000.2605.IP)

03:22 * Schism then puts that into a notepad window. "Ah."

03:22 <Cepheid> One and a half hours.\

03:22 *** Joins: Personifire (Tilde@Pony-b0l7hh.res.rr.com)

03:23 <Cepheid> All to figure out that all I needed to do was treat the 6 as 2 * 3^1 and the 9 as 3^2

03:24 <Schism> On the plus side, at least you managed to get that... yeesh.

03:24 * Filly_Nightmares licks all the numbers and sits on Schism

03:24 <Cepheid> The problem is that all of his assignments have questions like this.

03:25 * Schism deeply desires a drink. Provides Cepheid with either a rum & coke, hot toddy, or eggnog and rum - and Filly_Nightmares with some tea with honey, lemon and mulling spices!

03:25 * Filly_Nightmares rolls in the tea and purrs!

03:25 <Cepheid> With hidden exponents and other stupid application of rules.

03:26 *** Quits: Persona (Tilde@Pony-ptt4jh.fkl3.sln2.6000.2605.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

03:26 <Schism> Cepheid: Furrfu... but now that you know he's hiding those stupid exponents, well.  Clearly, though, the man has been teaching for far too long.

03:26 <Cepheid> Reports indicate he's got tenure.

03:26 <Cepheid> Which is why his class is allowed to continue despite the low passing rates.

03:27 <Schism> On the plus side, once you pass, you'll be able to commiserate with those others who had to push through that hell.

03:28 <PinkieShy> Hey DashedRainbows

03:29 * Schism considers, then decides to just skip the oddities and down a shot of rum. "It's been a helluva day."

03:29 <Schism> It is rather difficult to sell things on Valentine's Day.

03:32 <Cepheid> The unfortunate reality is that even if I pass, it's not over.

03:32 <Cepheid> I have to take a third class in discrete mathematics/structures.

03:33 <Schism> Same prof?

03:35 <PinkieShy> Hey Schism :)

03:35 <PinkieShy> I drank more today and ate more.

03:35 <PinkieShy> But still feeling ugh ish.

03:40 <Snapai> *flails*

03:40 <Snapai> hi

03:41 <Cepheid> I haven't checked, but I would assume so, Schism.

03:43 <Cepheid> In any case, I do know one thing.

03:43 <Cepheid> I really, really, *REALLY* should print out a sheet of various identities.

03:43 <Cepheid> Because I suspect the professor is going to keep pulling tricks by applying unusual cases of identities here and there.

03:44 * Snapai flops on Schism

03:45 <Cepheid> I mean for the love of-  What kind of maniacal professor treats 6 as "2 * 3^1" in an assignment question?

03:47 <DataByte> Upper level math, mayhaps

03:48 <DashedRainbows> hey PinkieShy, what's shakin'?

03:49 * Filly_Nightmares nests on DashedRainbows

03:49 <Cepheid> DataByte:  The funny thing is, as far as I know, these kinds of concepts are used in no other courses earlier than Discrete 2.  On top of that, he doesn't demonstrate this kind of stuff in class.

03:50 <PinkieShy> Not much DashedRainbows, how about you

03:51 <DashedRainbows> https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/365664701201514496/413542381913112586/Hector.png

03:54 * Schism treats Cepheid to 108. Which is of course 1^1 * 2^2 * 3^3.

03:54 <Cepheid> You're given 7n^2 - 2n + 9.  Express it as a set of recursive functions, where f(0) = XXX and f(n) = f(n - 1) + YYY for all n >= 1.  Find XXX and YYY.

03:55 <Cepheid> And then prove that what you came up with is equal to 7n^2 - 2n + 9

03:55 * Schism also boops the Cepheid with the disembodied head of Avara Bravearm.

03:55 * Cepheid explodes.

03:55 <Schism> (You can guess what I just ran.)

03:56 * Filly_Nightmares nibbles on Schism

03:56 <Cepheid> Tam-Tara Deepcroft Hard.

03:57 <Cepheid> If it weren't for Discrete 2, I'd start back up in FF14 again.

04:00 <Snapai> I am bored. Do you think the 24 hour grocery store carries young coconut? >.>

04:01 <Snapai> Saerydoth, I'm only gonna go as far as ingles :P

04:01 <Snapai> I know Earth Fare does, but they're closed.

04:03 <DashedRainbows> Snapai: what drawing software do you use?

04:04 <Snapai> MyPaint and Krita

04:04 <Snapai> More Krita now, though I still love MyPaint (I just don't how it forgets which end of the stylus it's on after a while, and switching to the stylus eraser and back does NOT guarantee you'll still have the same brush on the nib)

04:06 * Filly_Nightmares nibs Snapai

04:06 <DashedRainbows> ah ok

04:06 <DashedRainbows> I just use krita

04:07 <Filly_Nightmares> I have a 17 inch drawing tablet!

04:07 <Filly_Nightmares> Is as big as my laptop!

05:41 <Thelema5> It's super late and I should be in bed but I've had zero social activity today

05:42 <DashedRainbows> It's not even midnight

05:42 <Thelema5> 12:42 here

05:44 <Thelema5> I have to be at "work" in 6:15 hours

05:46 <DashedRainbows> sucks dude

05:47 *** Joins: Langly (Langly@Pony-7d29po.ptld.qwest.net)

05:48 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, can I ask a personal question?  How do you deal with the process of your dialysis routine?  I am totally terrified of needles and medical proceedures, and have resolved to go to a doctor to have a cyst taken care of- but DUDE, I am so scared and anxious about going and having this stranger cut me open and do stuff to me

05:48 <Thelema5> I have no idea how you manage this day by day

05:50 <Thelema5> I am terrified to the point of being paralyzed, been putting it off for a month

05:50 <DashedRainbows> I guess that I'm numb to it by now and I feel I should have died long ago and so don't mind dying trying to live

05:50 <Thelema5> Hmmm

05:50 <Thelema5> Were you scared at first?  Sorry, do you mind talking about it?

05:51 <DashedRainbows> That's why I'm going for a transplant; I'd rather die by trying

05:51 <Thelema5> Makes sense 100% in your case

05:51 <PinkieShy> hey Thelema5

05:51 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Connection closed)

05:51 <DashedRainbows> given the symptoms of renal failure I think I didn't mind lol

05:52 <Thelema5> I guess I'm just a wuss, doctors have always terrified me

05:52 <DashedRainbows> and I don't mind talking about it

05:52 <Thelema5> Hi PinkieShy

05:52 *** Quits: Cobalt_Blitz (Cobalt@Pony-39pn3u.res.rr.com) (Quit: Leaving)

05:52 <DashedRainbows> I think I wasn't even concius at first

05:55 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, in my case what they'll do is remove a 3mm section of skin doing a core biopsy of the cyst with a cylindrical cutting tool, and then expressing the matter through that hole and stitching it up.  There will be a lot of bleeding and some pain afterward. Even typing this makes me feel sick to my stomach

05:55 <DashedRainbows> I've had suicidal thoughts before then realized that why not maybe die trying to live a life I don't hate

05:56 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, been there.  It's a good thought.

05:56 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: I did get nervous at my last fistula correction surgery

05:56 <Thelema5> Have you seen the old 80's movie Joe Vs. The Volcano?

05:56 <Thelema5> It's a GREAT movie

05:56 <DashedRainbows> I'm not a big movie pone

05:57 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, I'm afraid to ask why

05:58 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, this one is worth it.  It's a cheesy old Tom Hanks movie, but worth every moment

05:58 <DashedRainbows> remember these people do it as a job

05:58 * Thelema5 nods

05:59 <DashedRainbows> They get in huge trouble if they mess up

05:59 <DashedRainbows> so the chance of a problem is small

05:59 <Thelema5> Gosh, that would be terrible

05:59 <Thelema5> I wouldn't want them to get in trouble!

06:00 <DashedRainbows> obviously the solution is to not mess up

06:03 <Thelema5> But is there any sort of mental, emotional trick you use to sorta ignore the medical proceedures as they happen?

06:03 <Thelema5> Because I'm 100% sure that I will experience an anxiety attack during my proceedure

06:04 <Thelema5> That usually involves weeping, curling up in a fetal position, acting agressively against people, and basically being a total nut-job

06:05 * Thelema5 > /// <

06:06 <DashedRainbows> I'm not sure how it happened

06:07 <DashedRainbows> I just don't care about living much

06:07 <Thelema5> I don't care for suffering much

06:07 <Thelema5> Opposite ends of the coin I guess

06:09 <DashedRainbows> Even then the first time my mom stuck me I was scared

06:09 <DashedRainbows> Infiltration hurts bad

06:09 <Thelema5> Ouch!

06:14 <Thelema5> Geez, that sounds awful.

06:16 <DashedRainbows> I guess it also helps me to know God only let's us suffer what we can handle but that's just my belief

06:16 <DashedRainbows> Everything passes too

06:21 <DashedRainbows> And you said it yourself, Thelema5, medicine gets better every day

06:25 <Snapai> Does Ko-Fi work well for anyone? >.>

06:25 <Saerydoth> who what?

06:26 * Saerydoth remembers an 80's movie called The Stuff, it was supposed to be horror but it ended up being more comedy/horror

06:26 <Snapai> It's a donation app. But instead of recurring like Patreon, it's one-off.

06:27 * Saerydoth hasn't heard of it, so doesn't know how well it works

06:27 <Snapai> Thelema5, I only have experience with dental, but I know at some point during my many dental adventures, my brain was able to divert it to speech, or speechlike thought.

06:28 <Snapai> Like, one time, instead of reacting physically to the pain, I suddenly had the ability to say it instead of squirm it. Like, saying "Ow...ow....OW...ow....ow..." was enough. I don't know how I made that shift tho'

06:29 <Snapai> https://twitter.com/Snapai/status/964019153626718208 - gonna start back on another project, so I put a plea for supporters out on Twitter.

12:24 <Cepheid> Finwe, would you ever write a question in material that you just taught, in such a way that the answer involves realizing that the number 6 can be expressed as 2 * 3^1?

12:28 <Cepheid> Context, for record:  I had to prove that 6(9 - 4n) * 3^(n - 1) - 9(13 - 4n) * 3^(n - 2) was equivalent to (5 - 4n) * 3^n.  I already solved it, just wondering if this is typical of university level or higher questions.

12:29 <roflin> seems to be just working it out.

12:31 <Cepheid> The issue was that to solve the "n - 1" and "n - 2" you have to treat the coefficients as 2 * 3^1 and 3^2 respectively.

12:31 <roflin> and yes it's rahter common to do this, because sometimes you have to realize that for complexer terms.

12:31 <Cepheid> It took me an hour and a half to figure this out for some reason.

12:32 <roflin> for instance that x^2 - 1 can be expressed as. (x-1) (x+1) and then you might be able to devide one of those terms out.

12:32 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

12:32 <Cepheid> That I can understand.

12:33 <Cepheid> Just for some reason it never occurred to me that I could treat 6 as 2 * 3^1.  Seems silly.

12:33 <roflin> yeah tis rather silly

12:34 <Cepheid> A more fun example of a question was "You're given 7n^2 - 2n + 9, f(0) = XXX, f(n) = (f - 1) + YYY.  Find XXX and YYY, and then prove that what you found equals 7n^2 - 2n + 9"

13:25 <Cepheid> Huh.  The common Sphinx cat is a Canadian breed.

13:26 <Cepheid> There are other breeds of Sphinx, but it appears the most common is a Canadian breed.

13:26 <Cepheid> ... We created a monster.

13:26 <Cepheid> http://cdn3-www.cattime.com/assets/uploads/gallery/sphynx-cats-and-kittens/sphynx-cats-and-kittens-3.jpg

13:28 <Cepheid> Two hairless cats involved in the breedom of the sphins were named Dermis and Epidermis.

13:29 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact: They're not really bald. They do grow very short hair, as noted on that picture.

13:29 <Cepheid> Yep.

13:30 <ConfusionRift> They do kinda freak me out too.

13:30 <Cepheid> There's two kinds of hair on cats.  The long hairs that we know and love, and these very short hairs which lay close to the skin.

13:31 <Cepheid> The latter kind don't really shed much, if at all, and have no dander on them.  Hence the lack of allergy issues.  Also..

13:31 <Cepheid> A correction to an earlier statement:  The sphinx is the offspring of two cats with a natural genetic mutation, one from Minnesota(Did I spell that right?) and one from Toronto, Ontario.

13:32 <Cepheid> So it's actually a dual-citizenship cat.

13:32 <ConfusionRift> We can't have that sort of thing here. EJECT! (launches the cats on a rocket to Canadia) :P

13:32 <Jahnesta> Wow, so too cats with an issue at birth, created a whole new species?

13:32 <Jahnesta> Two

13:33 <Cepheid> Genetic mutations happen in all life.

13:33 <Jahnesta> But it did make a new cat breed

13:33 <Cepheid> Yeah.

13:33 <Cepheid> When both cats have a similar genetic trait, and then mate, the offspring have an increased chance of having that same trait.

13:33 <Cepheid> If not 100%.

13:34 <Cepheid> Which means that, yes, in two separate locations, a cat spontaneously gave birth to cats with little or no hair.

13:34 <Cepheid> Must have been a shock both to the mother and the owners.

13:34 <Cepheid> "... Why's that one look like a rat with no hair?"

13:35 <Jahnesta> But if only 2 cats happend to have that, what’s the change of those 2 actually mating?

13:36 <Jahnesta> (Or maybe more, but it would be VEERY rage i think :P )

13:36 <Jahnesta> Rare

13:36 <Cepheid> Amazingly, because of animal breeding/husbandry, quite likely.

13:37 <Cepheid> Two people find out they have an animal with a similar or identical trait.  They find out the animals are of opposite genders.  The two people meet, with the respective animals, and encourage mating, or use other methods.

13:38 <Cepheid> Ideally, you have a larger pool than just two cats, though.

13:38 <Jahnesta> But why? Are they just like ’’Hmm i dunno what would happen, let’s find out!’’

13:38 <Cepheid> Pretty much.

13:39 <Cepheid> It's an experiment at that point to see if they can reproduce the trait in the offspring.

13:39 <Jahnesta> And then there where more and more naked cats

13:39 <Cepheid> Yep.

13:39 <Jahnesta> (We seriously call them naked cats here lol)

13:39 <Jahnesta> I think it’s kinda sad

13:40 <Jahnesta> I mean, cats evolved with fur for a reason

13:40 *** Joins: mattshadowman (mattthesha@Pony-o73h53.threembb.co.uk)

13:40 <Cepheid> That said, there would had to have been more than just the two cats.  Only two cats would lead to inbreeding, which would create more problems than anything else.

13:40 <Jahnesta> Hmm, didn’t think of it that way

13:40 <Jahnesta> But what if the first 2 hairless cats mate with a more hairy cat

13:41 <Jahnesta> Would that have a 50% chance of their offspring to be nude? :P

13:41 <Cepheid> I'm not sure of the exact percentages involved, but yes, it would result in a chance between 0% and 100% that the offspring have the same trait.

13:42 <Jahnesta> That’s kinda faque

13:42 <Jahnesta> Weatherman ’’There’s a chance between 0% and 100% it will rain tomorrow’’ xD

13:43 <Cepheid> A genetic trait in one parent increases the chance of that trait being passed on.  A genetic trait in both parents I think makes it close to 100% that it's passed on.

13:44 <Jahnesta> That makes sense

13:44 <Cepheid> https://redd.it/7xqdlj ConfusionRift.

13:44 <Cepheid> Something seems off.

13:44 <ConfusionRift> Huh, I wish I would had known of this Arrow refurbishing service.

13:45 <Jahnesta> But i do think that for example, there is a veery little change (And i mean veery little) that 2 white people could still have a child with a darker skin

13:45 <ConfusionRift> I knew it! Canadians are German!

13:45 <Jahnesta> :0

13:45 <Jahnesta> Mindblown!

13:46 <ConfusionRift> Actually, the flags are wrong.

13:47 <Cepheid> Jahnesta:  A distinct colour change is unlikely, yes.  But minute changes are possible.  If you maintain a family within a country near the equator for several generations, their skin tone may slowly darken over centuries or millenia due to increased exposure to the sun.

13:47 <ConfusionRift> Wait... those are the colors from the Mexican flag.

13:48 <Jahnesta> Cepheid that’s pretty interesting

13:48 <ConfusionRift> Someone needs to quit and go back to schooooool. :P

13:48 <Cepheid> Basically, the flags are a mess, and the country names are associated with the wrong medals.

13:48 <Jahnesta> That’ß why native south americans are so dark i think

13:48 <Jahnesta> ConfusionRift xP

13:48 <Jahnesta> That’s

13:48 <Cepheid> Jahnesta:  That is the presumed reason, yes.  Increased exposure to the sun and a warm environment overall.  Darker colours are able to absorb light and heat and release heat more quickly.

13:49 <Cepheid> Ideal for moving from shaded area to shaded area, with large expanses of hot area in between.

13:49 <Jahnesta> Yus, i knew a kid with a dark kid, and he never needed sunscreen in the summer

13:49 * ConfusionRift slowly raises a brow. Checks his skin. Then realizes... "I'm a bot, and my 'skin' is gray."

13:50 <Jahnesta> Maybe he can overheat?

18:54 <Cepheid> Have to prove two separate equations.  I take the second equation, prove it, solve for a missing variable to get another equation that isn't expressed in the assignment.  I then take the proven equation and the new equation I created, apply (n - 1) induction to them, and put them into the first equation, and then do a bunch of simplification and eventually come to an answer that proves both equations anyways.

19:54 <roflin> did you prove that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4... = -1/12?

19:56 <Cepheid> No.  The prof wanted me to solve how many blocks of 1 bits there are in a bitstring of n bits.  I figured it out by manually writing down sequences and finding the recurring pattern.  I got Bn = 2*B(n-1) + 2^(n-2).  One of the later requests in the question asks me to prove Bn = 2*B(n-1) + 2^(n-2).

21:01 <Lily_White> o 3o

21:02 <Cepheid> I wanted to design a character who could manipulate nuclear fusion as a form of attack.  Draw in base atomic elements to create tools, weapons, or just launch a friggen ball of some highly radioactive material at an enemy.

21:04 <Lily_White> so Okuu

21:04 <Lily_White> kek

21:04 <Lily_White> Unnyyuuu!

21:04 <Cepheid> More or less.

21:05 <Cepheid> Only in this case, the output is physical materials, not a nuclear fusion reactor(AKA:  A star.)

21:06 <Cepheid> In theory, apply nuclear fusion to enough atomic elements of the right numbers, and you can create materials like iron, cobalt and the like.

21:06 <Cepheid> Of course, doing so would generate massive quantities of heat and light, as well, so...

23:32 <Cepheid> We often use it as a sort of.. hmmm...

23:32 <Ali> I was thinking of putting the ? but didn't

23:32 <Cepheid> The word eludes me.

23:32 <Ali> Like this

23:32 <Ali> What are you talking aboot
