However, if you believe his story that he is an expert witness, if he was testifying against me in my case, and I was able to tie him to that thread, all I'd have to do is have my Saul put that thread up in on the wall in a fancy powerpoint, and he's done. Done and I'm walking. If he was testifying for me and the other Saul put it up on the wall in a powerpoint, I would lash out in a fit of rage. If that guy owned a dog, I'd find that dog and shoot it just on principle since I'm going to jail for awhile anyway and the dog won't add many extra years, and it would be a nice bowtie to put on everything. So for those reasons, I can understand the thread being locked. I don't know what was true or what wasn't but I was highly entertained for a few hours, that was worth the price of admission. |

I actually met Pedro in 1995 (I know that tonight it sounds like I'm some kind of star fucker, I have literally met like a total of 5 famous people in my entire life, it just so happens the few famous people I've met I happen to be bringing up right now) So Pedro was going on an on about his AIDS thing, and I said "Well, don't you think if people just always used condoms and didn't fuck random people, this whole epidemic would already be solved? Like there is nothing anyone else needs to do at all, except for the people fucking to do those two simple things, and bam, problem solved?" He didn't answer my question, he just got really pissed. My girlfriend and her lesbian friend got really pissed too. The entire room was pissed |

Tonight before work our new (been there about a month or so) neighbors had a guy outside their apartment who they were yelling back and forth with. Something about him being a "grown ass man" and the girl involved being a teenager or something. He was very classy. 250+lb black dude in orange shorts, and flip flops with no shirt and tats all over his arms and upper torso. I couldnt tell becasue it was dark but I am pretty sure he had a neck tat or two, ANyways, wife immediately grabs the phone and calls the police who of course didn't show up in the 45 mintues or so I was there before leaving.
Stupid shit ruined my chances for a quick handy before I got up to go to work.

True, there is that...but something tells me if he's like this after he's had a few beers on the interweb, he's like this after a few shots of Jack in real life. Which means what he's going on about now, is already out there...it's just a matter of Saul finding the right bar to cast his net in
But, and just for the sake of argument - if he's already done all the cases he says in front of fed Grand Juries...odds are he's either really good or he's got a really good Saul in his pocket. Plus then there's the whole bother of actually tying him to the account...which as we all know ain't CSI:Easy Button if the guy has two brain cells to rub together and half an hour of lucidity on any given day

Quote HistoryQuoted:
You are being asked to reduce 84/54 to it's least common denominator. There are a few ways to tackle this problem. The first way I would teach it is to break the numbers into primes and remove the things from the top and bottom that are the same. 84/54 = (3*7*2*2) / (3*9*2) (3*7*2*2) / (3*9*2) = (7 * 2) / (9) = 14/9 Well the strikethroughs aren't really showing. The threes and twos divide out. I feel like a retard right now. I know I should know this my brain is just not working with me...

Or I thought I did. But I didn't think an LCD can be three numbers so I'm once again confused. |

Wow, that thread on being in 17 OIS was certainly entertaining while it lasted. Just finished reading it.

OK well lets take a step back first. What you typed was 84/54 and the picture you posted was 55/40 The work you showed for the 55/40 problem was correct. The LCD is 11/8 I am only allowed to try each question twice and then I am given the answer and have to random select a new question(or skip the question). I had tried the 84/54 twice before I posted it so I put that one up because it usually helps me to try to work the question with the answer.. This is the next question in the queue. How did it go to 11/8 when the prime factoring is 2^3? |

But I didn't think an LCD can be three numbers so I'm once again confused. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: You are being asked to reduce 84/54 to it's least common denominator. There are a few ways to tackle this problem. The first way I would teach it is to break the numbers into primes and remove the things from the top and bottom that are the same. 84/54 = (3*7*2*2) / (3*9*2) (3*7*2*2) / (3*9*2) = (7 * 2) / (9) = 14/9 Well the strikethroughs aren't really showing.

Or I thought I did. But I didn't think an LCD can be three numbers so I'm once again confused. The lowest common denominator can be *any* amount of prime numbers. For most common fractions you will encounter in daily life there won't be that many, but for math homework or field specific problems, it could be any number (for most field specific problems we wouldn't be finding the LCD we'd be using a calculator or a computer and I don't think anyone cares. But I suppose there may be a few situations where we would care and need to know. That is outside the scope of what you need to learn the complete the homework). You already know everything you need to know to do the homework, you have already proven this several times , just something is getting mudded up somewhere. We just need to get you sorted on what you are mudded up on and you will be good. |

Trying to decide what cigar I am gonna enjoy on the back deck monday evening.
1) Cohiba Robusto 2) HdM Short Hoyo Pyramid 3) La Escepcion Selectos Finos 4) Partagas Serie D 4 I'm leaning towards number 3. |

How did it go to 11/8 when the prime factoring is 2^3? Look again at the picture you took. Pretend all the numbers you crossed out no longer exist in the world. They are gone forever. Write down ONLY the numbers you DIDN'T cross out You will write down (11) / (2*2*2) This is 11/8. Also, and just because I have to say this every time I use the words "crossed out" or "canceled," Sorry Ray, I'll make it up to you, I promise just let me do my thing. |

I haven't had a cigar in ages...I check the humidor and top up the brick now and again but haven't actually dug into it and checked everything in ages...probably 2+ years

You're will be getting some additions soon.
