My favorite “PvP” activity jn the game is “robbing” other players.
Step 1. Call Lamar, have him send a mugger.
Step 2. Lurk just out of reach of the player to be mugged.
Step 3. When the mugger strikes, dash in, kill player.
Step 4. Kill mugger, take the money for yourself!
I swear I have had to have made at least $1mil doing this over the years…$10k at a time!!
😂🤣😂🤷🏼♂️
Let me just start by saying this is NOT a business ad.
My wife and I buy our beef from her father who is a cattleman in Northwest Missouri. The beef is born and raised on his farm, and fed clean, well taken care of care of grass in his fields, and corn that he farms himself. No steroids, etc…
Anyway, we try to use as much of the animal as possible. We keep as many bones as we can for our dogs, then use them to make broth for their food, etc.
We also keep a large portion of the fat, and we make Tallow with it. If you don’t know what that is, it is beef fat rendered down into oil to use for cooking. Some will make skin care products with it, but we don’t have that kind of tome nor energy haha
Anyway, we have about 50-60lbs of fat left, but we already have more tallow than we will probably use for the year.
So, we were wondering if there might be any interest from folks here in Parker, who might want some if we make it? Or, if anyone is interested in just getting some of the fat and doing it yourself?
It’s frozen in 5-10lb packages….
TL/DR: At 42yo, I am in college for the first time, declared physics major. I am doing my best to both play catch up, and learn new math subjects, but I need ”more” than just memorization. HOW DO I READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT AND PROBLEMS? Any books, etc that might help??
So, I am 42yo, and after retiring from the Navy after 21 years, I decided to go to college. I have always loved to read philosophy and about physics, the universe, its concepts, etc…so, naturally I chose to take the easy path and study physics! Haha
Anyway, until last semester, I hadn’t taken a Math class in nearly 25 years, so I started with College Algebra, and this semester pre-calculus. Boy, it has been a rough go so far. Trying to remember rules, etc from high school caused me to go back and try and relearn high school math (using my daughter’s homework, etc), while also working through College Algebra. It was a tough task, but I made it through.
Now, this semester, pre-calc trig and algebra have been putting me through the ringer! I put in time, everyday. Working through problems/equations, when I can, I go to tutoring at school, etc…but here’s the rub: I feel like my brain is saturated. It doesn’t feel like much is being retained. I can spend today working on logarithms, and tomorrow I won’t remember how to move between cartesian and polar coordinates. I spend a few days memorizing and using the unit circle, but forget how to find f(x+h)….you get the point.
A few days ago, I noticed something when I was watching a video about Euler…the narrator (a physicist, I believe), was talking about one of Euler’s equations that he had written on a white board…and he READ it. He didn’t just read terms, he READ the equation like it was a book. Like the equation was a sentence in a novel. He didn’t just say “x + y”, or “e to the 4th power”…he read it like “the rotation of the tire is the result of the pressure applied to the gas pedal”, and as he read the equation, he pointed to each of the terms…but not once did he say the term specifically. It blew my mind, and gave me an “A-ha!” Moment…I need to UNDERSTAND what I am reading when I see a problem/equation.
I asked my professor for some advice as to how I could do that, but he just read the equation to me by reading terms and said “just like that.”
So here I am, drawing on my experience in the Navy, and realizing that my success in that career was largely because I had a true understanding of what we were doing, which allowed me to figure out how to do it, and solve any problems that came up, figure out new methods, etc.
I have started looking around to find any books, etc that can maybe help me understand how to READ and UNDERSTAND the math I am presented with, instead of just trying to memorize and remember rules. I know that memorization will always be a part of it, but I think if I can find a way to understand it, that I might be able to retain a lot more, or at least understand what the problems/equations are asking/looking for.
Any of you have a direction you can point me in?
