Not to be negative

[cbass]

I gots WiFi in the shop now that's a positive.

Numbers piss me off I used to be really good at them I was taking college aAlgebra in 9th grade had trig and calculus done by the time I was a junior .I could multiply multiple numbers in my head now I can't even remember what numbers I was gonna multiply

[Leo_Gnardo]

How do two negatives make a positive???

However it works, I'm glad it does, as it allows me to mathematically say that two wrongs DO equal a right!

Only if you can figure out how to multiply them.

And once you've done that, try taking the square root of negative one. There's a handy device meant to bend the brain cells of those who thought they were mathematically inclined.

OMG Miles!

Your posts are so full of nostalgia, beyond your years.

Son of Flubber!

Disney movies ruled the theaters in those days.

I was born in '64. May as well have been 1864 at this point. Theatres were bigger. We used to park our car in one.

Yeah, nothing like backing the station wagon into the 'seat' and watching the movie out the back while wearing pajamas...or groping your girlfriend years later and ignoring the movie. Poor kids today...no drive-in...wow. Although I was in a little town last summer that still had one. We had to go. It was a blast from the past.

Our hometown theater was art deco to the extreme.

It looked like a castle inside.
As a former plasterer I can attest to the decorative plaster molds and gingerbread for lack of more technical terms.
It was like a fantasy to go to a movie there in the early 60's.

We sat through two showings of Hard Days Night.

We had drive ins til 1993

I still can't understand why you'd want to watch a movie with a bunch of idiots breathing on you movies are stupid anyway
Now I'm being negative

[eniam rognab]

i saw "300" at the drive-in in barstow cali

we brought a couple camp chairs and a battery radio, double double animal styles from in-n-out and a 30 pack of steel reserve

although i dont remember watching the movie at all

Sqrt of -1 is whatever I want it to be inside my head

[Reeltarded]

Normally I or J. X was taken and sometimes why.

[cbass]

-i is also correct

[Reeltarded]

Not alone, only as an expression. I am deducting 10.

-10. Now we are moving.

Now that is insight! Sqrt of -1 is i, the basis of imaginary numbers. "Whatever I want it to be inside my head" a great explanation. There's a whole universe of imaginary numbers, right alongside all the numbers we know, only . . . not so visible . . . therefore "imaginary."

Grist for the science fiction mill - parallel universes. Or Bizarro world as in early 60's Superman comix. Well we got that now for sure.

It's just my imagination --- runnin' away with me.

[cbass]

Parallel universe has to exist sqrt of 4 is 2 and -2 too just proved it

My home town still has a working drive-in. Amazing how many kids could fit in the spare tire well of an Impala, back in the day.
Joey Spampinato (of NRBQ fame), lives in the next town over. You NRBQ fans may remember their song, "When It Rains At The Drive-in.
