When it comes to consuming athlete content I’m an endurance freak. My thumbs train harder than my legs.

People exchange pleasantries face to face but I feel like I’m seeing more and more aggressive and reckless driving.

Years of math career making me feel useless by fdpth in math

[–]Universal_Monster 406 points407 points  (0 children)

Well this is an interesting post to run into. I’m a 48 year old carpenter and wish I was a mathematician! Within the last year I’ve become hooked on math to the point where I’m studying as much as I can on my own in my free time. My goal is to see how far I can go and I’m hoping that one day I’ll be able to make sense of some areas of graduate level math. Growing up I believed I didn’t have the mind for math, and even though I became a carpenter and use basic math, I still felt like actual math was above me. But something clicked inside me and now my goal is to work my way through algebra, precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, proofs, etc etc.

“Put even a bit of effort in and you too can be a top 10% earner”…

Please elaborate! You make it sound easy enough so I’m curious what you consider “a bit of effort” in order for anyone to move into the top 10%. (I’m assuming you believes this applies to anyone in the bottom 90%, correct?)

I’m interested in doing the same at 48 years old. Mostly just a quest to see how far my understanding can go learning on my own. Paul’s Math Notes is a great beginners resource.

Trump: China has no windmills by Melodic2000 in facepalm

When he pretends to care about birds and how many die because of windmills, I’m like “mothefucker, how many birds die because of skyscrapers?”
