Proofs! Go proofs!!
I was sitting in my maths class, and me and my friend had finished the sheet we were doing. And we picked our calculators up and started pushing all the funny buttons we haven't learned about yet.
There was this button that said "Abs" on my friend's calculator that I didn't have on mine. So she pressed it and it said l o l. I think, it's some kind of code thing, but it looked like lol.
"My calculator's ticklish on the Abs!" she said.
I thought that was really funny.
They're really, really, good. Especially the second one!
Great! Can you make avatars bigger on it?
i hope every one enjoys thisare thinks it is appropriate
Don't worry, this is where anyone can talk about anything they want.
What's the post boundary for Real Members?
Hi! Join the club of maths enthusiasts.
Do the same rules still apply? If so, I'll be in charge.
Hi, welcome to maths is fun!
Wow, this is still going on. :O
OMGGG!!!! I never forgot MathsIsFun, y'know.
OK,it was a mistake. But don't get angry at me.
Plus or minus 1.
Stickers.....
I'm not exactly scared of them, but they make me cringe. It's just the fact that they have the tendency to stick to anything they want and if you want to get them off, you have to pick them of and then peel them with their open sticky ends....urgh.
My worst nightmare is to get a sticker stuck on my back where I can't get it off. My brother stuck an apple sticker to my door handle the other day and I screamed!
My Daemon is Apollonius, the Crow
That one's brilliant!
Does everyone have to have an interview toast, or is it just a few people?
Only a few people I found out had to have one (when I was doing it) and none of them were rejected. I'm sure you'll be great!
I think a great thing to do is smile a lot. It'll make them want to smile too, and it'll give them a positive, friendly impression.
Oh, and by the way, are any of you thinking of doing something related to what you want to do in the future?
I did my work experience last May in an optician's. I positively hated it because they just gave me basic repetitive tasks to do, although I did like learning the different parts of the eye and the tools they used to look into it. But what else can they give untrained in anything fourteen to fifteen years olds to do?
Some people in my class got to work in airports and hospitals, and they really enjoyed it: I suppose where you go might depend on how much you enjoy it. I kept getting rejected from places like that so when I tried the optician's I just stuck with it. I did the work experience for a week, some of the time you have to do it for two weeks - how long do you need to do it for?
IS RORA Roraborealis "S NAME
Well, it's my nickname in real life.
I'm not sure what I believe about the situation. There was quite a large debate about it in one of my RE classes last week and I was wondering what other people thought about it. The people on this board are far more mature than the people in my class, I can tell you.
Since we're the only species on the planet intelligent enough to be able to make complex decisions about our diet, I think it all depends about on what's good for the planet. It's natural to eat other life forms for protein and fat (although there is other ways to get this, although it's quite difficult), but since we're wrecking the planet already we might want to try eating less or stop altogether - if we were still cave men and women we wouldn't be eating as much as we do now. Rearing cows for people to eat excessively already causes a lot of methane production which in turn is contributing to global warming.
Like ganesh says, it is entirely the induvidual's decision - which I think is whether they want to help the planet or not.
Maelwys, you've got it! (The second part)
Well done!
That is true - once they're killed, you can't do anything about it.
But, say, if two hundred people in a town suddenly stopped eating meat, then I think the demand for meat would drop significantly, hence the shops supplying it would order less to sell from farmers, and that would mean the farms would start producing less. So if you stop, it does make a difference.
Approximately, one in twenty five of us call ourselves vegetarian - refusing to eat meats, fish and products that include these, or animal fats.
Some people think that rearing animals for slaughter is cruel, that bringing them into the world only for an early death is wrong. They do not like the taste or the idea of eating meat, or they're brought up not to eat it, or maybe their religion is against it.
However, some people think that as humans, we are inclined to eat other animals, due to evolution. Evolution has brought us to the right that we can eat meat. Other animals eat other animals - so why can't we? We have the resourses, farming methods have made it possible...but the oppositions say that as intelligent life forms, we have a choice to save lives and can only make life a little easier if we only gave some thought and gave it up. We could even help produce more food by eating more vegetables (as animals used for food will have to be fed on plants that we could be eating before they are killed).
There are many thoughts and arguments on this matter of deciding on your diet. What do you think?
Justlooking, I love your new avatar, the numbers are great; it relates to the board now!
It's so difficult to come up with a staight answer to what you want to do, I think. After I do my A levels I think I'll have a better idea, but now I think I want to do something with maths or science. I don't like being creative too much - it requires so much more effort than just learning things.
I also like music, I'm doing it at GCSE, but I don't want to take a job involved with it, maybe I should just leave it as a hobby. I used to play instruments quite a lot and stuff, but I'm sort of doing it less often now.
I missed everyone here too.
Wow! That's a really good guess, I didn't even think of that one when I got told this puzzle - but it isn't the right answer.
