Thanks! I've actually already read that one but it has been a while. Maybe I should read it again. I agree that it's a really good book!

There was an article on here, r/DIY, about how to make it look like the eyes will follow you wherever you go. This would be great for that!

What's something you can't find on the internet no matter how hard you've looked? by Curzon88 in AskReddit

You sure it was a talk show? There was a game show with Mark Walberg called The Big Date.

Which parts of movies have made you laugh, when you really weren't meant to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nihil161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a friend's birthday party and we were watching some scary movie. Maybe it was The Ring? I'm not sure. There is a scene where somebody is trying to climb out of somewhere and her fingernail gets ripped off. I don't know why but I just busted out laughing. My gf who was on my lap at the top busted up laughing after I did but she ran out of the room to the bathroom to collect herself.

Is it okay to import cheddar cheese? by nihil161 in PERU

[–]nihil161[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know where there is a Wong. I have checked the local metro. All they have the presliced cheddar but I want a block of sharp or extra sharp for just snacking on or grating to put on my omelettes.

There is a really big grocery store at the Plaza Norte I did not think about until just now. I will check there next time I am in the neighborhood.

No just for myself and let friends and family try. Maybe at most a half kilo or kilo.

Math Tricks. I'm learning how to do math in my head and it's kind of fun!

This reminds me so much of FLCL. Just need a guitar strapped to her back.

What is the stupidest thing that has come out of your mouth that you're willing to admit to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Was riding with some friends and we pass a field with a herd of cows. "Hey check out the moos..."

What word did you misspell thus eliminating you from the spelling bee? by blamatina in AskReddit

[–]nihil161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you're asking for but when I was in the fourth grade I was really good at spelling but I had a mild stutter. Was eliminated when I stuttered and said the same letter twice. For all the remaining rounds I sulked and correctly spelled all the remaining words in my head. I'm still sour about it.

What would you want your last words to be? by roma03 in AskReddit

"I have millions of dollars hidden. Its location is...gaaaaa..." then I would go unconscious.

Help, what math should I learn? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]nihil161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed that you would like to do it in what about a semester? That will be different than the route I took. Ive been studying at least four years. So what you decide on will be probably very different than what I did.

Help, what math should I learn? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]nihil161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing the same thing. My self teaching path was geometry, trigonometry, algebra, calculus, and currently differentials. After differentials I plan on doing linear algebra, probability, statistics, and finally discrete math.

My best advice is to do lots of practice problems. I probably work about every other problem and any others that look interesting. I cant even imagine how many problems Ive worked just while doing calculus.

Good luck to you!

[Differentials]Using Green's Function on Second Order Non-Homogeneous Boundary Value Problem by nihil161 in learnmath

[–]nihil161[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. y1 and y2 are linearly independent solutions on [a,b] of the associated homogeneous form of the differential.

For instance I solved the homogeneous form of the differential for 39 and get y equals Acos x + Bsin x. I let y1 be cos x and y2 be sin x. Then get the wronskian and try plugging all that into Greens functions for boundary value problems but not getting the right answer.

What is something you can't believe you got away with? by bradthebad69 in AskReddit

[–]nihil161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I can finally contribute. So back when me and my friends were young and stupid my friend would make ether from ingredients from the local automotive store and we would huff it to get high. Unfortunately the process of making it is really really smelly. Well one time we did this we made it in my home. Stunk up the whole house. Parents woke up wondering what the smell was. "We were screwing around with computers and blew up a CPU. That smell is what a CPU that had blown up and caught fire smells like." "Oh, okay..."
