I have a question Your Magesty.

**Also, no religious posts are acceptable.**

Does this pertain only to proselytizing or to any religious reference?

Christmas is near and I usually wish a few worthy souls a “Merry Fucking Christmas,” or a “Happy Fucking Hanukkah, “or Happy whatever floats their fucking boat, along with a “Happy Fucking New Year.”  

I just wanted to know if that was acceptable.  

The cigars smell worse too.

 . . . Cigars vs  Catfood . . .

I don’t know. Some canned cat-foods smell like carrion. My pet vultures become very excited when I open a can. I feed it to them when road kíll isn’t available. The cats won’t eat it and the dogs usually just want to roll in it.  The cat-food kibble, on the other hand, smells like dehydrated vomit –it’s more like a warm meal.   

There is a Lucky Dog brand in the states, described as: Whole food meals cooked by hand: frozen and shipped in 1 lb packages from South Carolina” At $12 a pound, dogs should like it.

I don’t buy it. I cook for my mutts, adding supplements to optimize the nutrition. On this week’s menu is turkey-bone soup – it’s one of their favorites. One is allergic to poultry, so she has her own personal ham.  The cats share in the turkey soup too. 

Some of the cats are grateful. One in particular always brings me gifts –such as mice, squirrels, rats, and the occasional rabbit.    While I appreciate the thought, I just can’t eat that much and I finally told him I didn’t want any more gifts from him.  Later, I read his personal log, he lamented that he had to return the bottle of 1906 Amontillado he bought me for Christmas. In my personal log I wrote, “Me and my big mouth!” 

After dinner, the dogs like a drink --a motif of sorts. There is Schnapps for the Schnauzer. For the English sheep dog, it’s Lindisfarne Mead; Aquavit for the Great Dane; then it is Sake for Shih-Tzu; Tequila for the Chihuahua, and Cognac for the French poodle. Next, the most consumed alcohol beverage in the world: Baijiu, this is for the Pekinese, and it rounds out with Vodka for the Siberian husky, dark ale and beer for the Labrador and Rottweiler.  The rest are teetotalers.  None of my dogs are cheap drunks –that’s for sure.

 As you might have noticed, it is a dog’s life around here. :/

As for Lancelot, he usually travels by crate, anyway. He says it’s cheap and he can choose his company.  If anyone ever sent him off that way, you can bet he was tricking someone into paying his fair.  That chimp is very sneaky!

For Lancelot’s latest extended absences, I’ll have to send a telegram to him to find out why. He has always been a little asocial with humans, but I’ve never seen him antisocial.  I will find out though.  . . .

I think your new TV show will be another hit, CPhill. 

Your answer is close enough.  I’d make you a banana daiquiri, but Lancelotlink and company steal every dàmn banana when they visit. They also steal every mango and all the peanuts, and my cigars –not to mention all my booze. 

Hummm . . . .This looks like a preview for CPhill’s new TV show. Under the Bridge:  Mathematics of Trolling. Staring CPhill and Melody, aka Sisyphus and Queen Guinevere, with a cameo appearance by Nauseated. 

For a listing of CPhill’s previous shows look here:

Hummm . . . this looks like the output of (most likely) an IOS8 apple phone where the user types in the first word and then accepts the first suggestion of each subsequent word.  The words are mostly common followed by the words commonly use by the phones principal user. Repetition is obvious by the 20th word.

The output is pseudo random and decidedly consistent with Zipf's law but is slightly altered by the user’s common words (or non words).  Zipf's (George Kingsley Zipf) law posits that given some quantity of natural language speech, the frequency of any word is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. Id est the most frequent word will occur approximately twice as often as the second most frequent word, three times as often as the third most frequent word, etc

This is usually done for trivial entertainment purposes; however, contemporary singing artists often use this method to compose their hit songs.

While this concept is new for the construction lyrics, the concept isn’t new for the construction of the music itself. For example heavy metal was first constructed using recordings from automobile junk and recycling yards; from there grunge music, based on the sounds of sewage treatment plants.

It is amazing how nearly any sound can be used to create music. Here’s a link to one.

LancelotLink turns into a really POd chimp when I hire away his de/coders–especially if I don’t cross his palm with a few bananas. He’s almost as POed when he catches Sir LaTex gold-bricking –he’s very skilled at it. Lancelot throws banana peels at him after catching him perusing his stamp collection on company time.

Along with roasted peanuts, Sir La-Tex likes the occasional mouse, but I am uncertain if he likes shrimp/prawns. I’ve not had BBQed prawns before, but I often have BBQed crawdads –or eat them raw – they are a troll staple and easily found near troll toll bridges. I may try some BBQed prawns the next time I BBQ a steak for my dogs. We dogs (and trolls) really like our steaks. 

The embedded (La)tex compiler for this forum does not render Asy(mptote) code.

In the diagram below, we have $\overline{MN}\parallel\overline{PQ}$, $OM = 9$, $OQ = 6$, and $PN = 24$. Find $OP$. [asy] pair O,M,NN,P,Q; M = (-0.4,0.5); NN = (0.3,0.5); P = -0.9*NN; Q = -0.9*M; label("$O$",O,E); label("$M$", M,N); label("$N$", NN,N); label("$P$",P,S); label("$Q$",Q,S); draw(M--NN--P--Q--M); [/asy]

Here’s image of the rendered code:

For 3 phase power multiply the VA  by $\sqrt{3}$ 

$VA=81900 * 500 * \sqrt{3}\; VA = 70927.5 ~ kVA\\ \\\;\\ kWatts = PF * kVA = 0.89 * 70927.5 ~kVA = 63125~ kWatts\\ kVAR = \sqrt{1-PF^2} * kVA = 0.46 40950 *70927.5 = 32341.0~ kVAR\\ $

Are you jealous, TR? It looks like you are—you’re challenging 7UP to a duel. I’m sure Lady Rosala is most pleased to have two very disparate worriers fight for her.

I can estimate right now, with a 99.9% probability that you will lose. Not because 7UP’s mathematics, writing, and linguistic skills exceed yours by a factor of a googolplex or two, but simply because Rosala would prefer 7UP’s company to yours by a factor of a googolplex or two. This would be true, even if she didn’t prefer 7UP’s company at all. If you need a warfare analogy, she will karate-punch your lights out.

For Rosala to make such a post implies a history with 7UP that far exceeds the time of your presences on here. The innuendos anyone may imply to Rosala’s comments are probably very lost on her. I’ve read every one of Rosala’s posts and there is not another one like this. This suggests she is unaware of the connotation. If she is aware, then this is a very cool overture. * 7UP’s response was to use a good-natured, public tease to Rosala after finding himself the center of attention in a vampire scenario with comical, but (possibly) unintentional innuendos.

I am quite curious how Rosala will respond to it.

Rosala can punch, kick, bite, and verbally blast anyone away if she has a mind to. She can also be extraordinarily charming in a quiet, polite, and reverential manner. So 7UP may need to barrow your titanium armor or prepare for a heavy date.

I find it very ironic that you point out that this is a maths site not a dating site, while you post thousands of lines of fantasy role playing warfare games. The fact is, all co-educational organizations, whether real or virtual, that allows for any serious social component, creates a societal structure that can potentially lead to dating relationships. High schools and colleges are well known for this. You might notice this, if you ever choose to press pause on you warfare games.
