since you were a teen in 2005 (i was born that year and I’m about to be 20) did you ever fall asleep watching tv and wake up to George Lopez or Robot Chicken?? that’s usually a very common memory among millennials and early gen z kids. hopefully the almost 20 comment didn’t make you feel old.. 😔
Have you ever eaten a piece of food without having any single fucking clue what it was?
Yes
No

Like you ate a dish or something of some kind and there was something in it and you had no idea wtf it was, but you ate it anyway, or anything like that
it's honestly really sad that anytime anyone in school showed any interest in me, my automatic thoughts were "is this a prank?" "who dared you?" "what bet did you lose?"
I was bullied and excluded so much that I couldn't fathom anyone actually being genuinely interested in me
Dr. Julien would have been more likable if they just rewrote some things. Elaborate more on how he survived, because we didn't get enough information. Let him remove the memory switch. Maybe just acknowledge he's actually not morally perfect, but have him acknowledge it. Echo Zane being created after Julien dies means that basically nobody wins. Everybody just gets the short end of the stick. Dr. Julien using vague language and us never actually seeing evidence to prove certain things he tells us...well, it makes me suspicious. Samukai is dead, and we don't exactly ever get proof he did capture Julien. With no proof except an old man who's already known for formerly creating war machines...well, I think I can be forgiven my extreme suspicions
I kind of want Julien to have once been evil, only to have learned to be good after he reached middle age or whatever. But I still think that his being alive would have been nice. Also, Mark Oliver did do a good job voicing him. Dr. Julien sounds very different from Lord/Sensei Garmadon, and I think it's nice to see his versatility. I didn't love the character, but I still love the voice acting. And I think I could like Julien if he just got more time to elaborate on his lore and prove himself more than a crazy man who's mildly suspicious.
It's midnight! I officially see Dan and Phil. TODAY!
My big 26 year old self is going alone to a city an hour away to honour little 11-16 year old me who lived too far away and couldn't afford any of the previous tours. I'm so fucking excited I could cry.
I heard you say you were good at math, do you happen to have any good tips at studying math? Genuine question here, I just failed my final exam for a math course. I am bummed and looking for advice. Sorry if this was a weird question to ask of you on this blog. And for also asking on anon, im a bit to embarrassed to ask this on my account.
I'm not sure if I have any good types and tricks...math was just my Neurodivergent Perk that I've had since I was a kid...also full disclaimer that I completed my high school math credits in middle school and my college math credits in high school so while that is a pretty epic gamer moment, it also means I have not touched a proper math course in like 6 years
Fun time math lesson with Danny below (:
One pattern that I used to do (at least when it came to formulas) was kinda organize my work into categories, if that makes sense.
So let's say you have a physics (shush it's still math) problem that's looking for the potential energy of an item weighing 7kg that's 5m above the earth --
What's the formula? - PE = mass * gravitational * height
What's the values we already know? - m = 7m, g = 9.8 m/s^2 (this is an always constant value for earth's gravity), h = 5m
Plug it in - PE = 7 * 9.8 * 5
Final answer - PE = 343 J (Jules)
Sometimes you're going to have to use other formulas first before you can get to the meat of your main problem. So let's use the same example, but now the height is 7 feet. You'll need to convert that first into meters before you can plug it into your formula and it can help keep track of your work --
What's the formula? - meters = ft/0.3048
What's the values we already know? - ft = 7
Plug it in - m = 7/0.3048
Final answer - m = 2.1336 (usually round off to nearest 100th, so we'll use 2.13). meters = height // h = 2.13m
What's the formula? - PE = mass * gravitational * height
What's the values we already know? - m = 7m, g = 9.8 m/s^2, h = 2.13m
Plug it in - PE = 7 * 9.8 * 2.13
Final answer - PE = 146.18 J
Now let's say we know the PE is 68.31 J and it's resting at a height of 8m, but we don't know its mass? Simple! Do the same exact sequence of organizing and you'll be able to tell how to work backwards.
What's the formula? - PE = mass * gravitational * height
What's the values we already know? - g = 9.8 m/s^2, h = 8m, PE = 68.31 J
Plug it in - 68.31 = m * 9.8 * 8 // 68.31 = m * 78.4 // 68.31/78.4 = m * 78.4/78.4 (this will cancel out completely, so it will NOT be m * 0) // 0.87 = m
Final answer - m = 0.87
My overall suggestion is to focus on memorize your equations first and foremost, and from there use the 4 steps to organize your work. The variables will always be given to you, so as long as you can remember which formulas (and constant variables!!) are necessary for that information, you should be golden! Then, you can plug and play as needed, but keep in mind you may need additional equations to get all of your variables first. If you're able to, there tons of free specialty calculators you can use specifically for certain formulas! I used omnicalculator's Potential Energy Calculator to check my work here in fact, give or take a few decimals.
Granted, this information mostly applies to math likes physics, algebraic, and trig. I am dogshit at geometry because I can't visualize and angles vex (heh) me so...man good luck to you if that's the field you're struggling in.
