Opal, I feel your pain. Math is so cold and unflinching. Nothing bores me more than math. Except maybe soap operas.

That's why I love math. Numbers don't lie. There's no grey areas, no maybes. My brain works off from math & I see it everywhere. It so easy. You just have to know where to put the numbers. It's sort of like juggling - my favorite juggling quote, "The biggest problem with juggling is that the clubs go exactly where you throw them."

I dislike soap operas too.

I'm assuming that I'd have to do something like this:

100ml of juice at 65/35, including flavoring, would have 65 ml of PG (partially from the nic mix, and partially from the flavoring, assuming PG based flavoring) and 35 ml of VG. This seems like a false assumption to me, because I'm assuming that the flavoring itself would take away a certain number of ml of the PG. How much, however, I don't know.

So - if you add in 10 ml of VG, you now have 110 ml of juice - 65 ml of PG and 45 ml of VG.

45/110 = 41% VG - so that would now be a 59/41 pg/vg ratio, if I have the math right, correct?

You must be an engineer.

You got the right answer, but you made it way more difficult than you needed to. Did you get my email with the calc?

I totally understand why some people love math. I can appreciate it on a conceptual level, absolutely, and do appreciate the fact there are those who love it. It's just never been my thing, I lean far more towards the arts.

The arts are math too. Music... 100% math. The more you dig into it, the more math it is. It's beautiful. Same with painting/color theory, same with drawing, everything except maybe dancing. There's 2 things in life I've never been able to understand. Dancing & fashion.

It's everywhere! And come on, dancing is all 'left right left right one two three twist'. There's some basic arithmetic there.

Fashion is funny. Dancing I have mixed feelings about. Flamenco is amazing to watch. Ballet has an undeniable grace and beauty. Granted I don't watch it or go looking for it, but I do think dance is one of the greater performance arts, and it's physically brutal for a lot of professional dancers. Now, if you're talking dancing in general, for fun or at the club, then yes, it's more hilarious than fashion.

But art is math, and math is art.

I will grab a crayon and a piece of paper and no numbers will be harmed. Just one crayon, one piece of pape-

DAMMIT!

I was speaking of dancing & fashion as 2 separate things. I just don't understand either one & I stopped trying long, long ago.

The math in dancing stops at staying in rhythm. I can get that part of it. The choice of movements... not a clue. If 2 people are both on beat, 1 is getting cheered & 1 is getting booed, I have no clue why. One looks good? One looks bad? I don't see it. Doesn't matter if it's at the club, a music video, ballet, ball room, none of it. It all looks equally ridiculous to me.

I get ya. I dated a flamenco dancer, and seeing her work at it and watching her perform, as well as seeing some world class flamenco, I guess I began to 'get it'. It changed my outlook on other forms, as well, I never realized how much training and how difficult it was. So, that's where my interest and appreciation came from.

Fashion, I dunno, it's just silly. I am a t-shirt, jeans, and ball-cap guy. Always have been. My neighbors are dirty hipsters, so much so in fact that they dress their kids like little hipster urchins. It's cool and all, but the time and work they put into 'getting ready' just to go get groceries, the conceit and the sheer amount of hair product, it's kind of funny. Maybe even a little sad.

No offense intended toward you fashion minded people.

Don't get me wrong, I've known a few dancers myself - it's a lot of hard work - but it's never helped me to understand it. Oh well, I don't bother thinking of it anymore. If someone's into it, cool, that someone just ain't this guy.

I'm with ya on fashion though. A pair of Carhartt's & a t-shirt work just fine. I dig my hoodies too. I wear boots when I need them, but otherwise flat soled skate shoes, mostly because they're comfortable & easy to drive in. My newest pair is about 7 years old & arguably has more super glue than the original shoe. Those are getting harder to find though because every company is apparently hiring colorblind 2 year olds for the design department. I think I can get a couple more years out of this pair though.

All in all, nothing bright, nothing flashy, just earth tones & a touch of plaid (hey, I'm Irish & a woodworker... how could I not wear plaid?) works for me.

I never install macromedia. I hate webpages that push flash video ads that play even when I hit "x" or esc.
Does Shockwave Player play standalone videos but refuse video advertising if I set it to?

Short answer, yes. At least in my case. I hate Flash because it wants to update everyother day, yet never improves. Same ......ed streaming all the time.

I think fashion is just a way for people to spend money so that everyone has the same expensive brand name purse, shoes, jeans etc.
Clearly, your less than your neighbor if you cannot afford to wear those things. At least that is what much of society promotes.

Except for a few exceptions I usually make my own clothes. The exceptions are items that are less expensive to buy than for me to make.
Like tank tops. I can buy them all day long for about 3$. My neighbor buys hers at VS to the tune of 20$ each. One guess who's tank tops tend to fall apart after the first or second wash?

As for dancing... it is just fun! But not everyone enjoys dancing. Not everyone enjoys swimming or cooking or whatever either.
Not everyone likes pets. That is something I do not understand!

Now in order to give this post some semblance of being on topic.... What is everyone vaping today? Aside from BACON choco latte? LOL

A pair of Carhartt's & a t-shirt work just fine.

I own 3 coats, a SnapOn tools jacket the tool guy gave me to try and entice me into upgrading my tool box again, and 2 Carhartts. My work, out in the yard, regular well worn in Carhartt. And my really nice and crisp Carharrt dress coat.

They are actually the same coat just one is only 3 years old and only gets worn when I have to dress up and the other is at least 10 years old.

Sounds like my cold-weather Carhartt overalls. They're creeping up on that 10 year mark. I had a really old Carhartt coat that my grandfather gave me, but I don't remember whatever happened to it. Might be at my folks house. I don't wear coats too often. I have a nice Holden snowboarding coat only for use on the slopes (which isn't very often anymore), a 20 year old Navy peacoat... I think that might be it. It's been -35F so far this year & the overalls & a hoodie have served me well. Been almost 2 years since I went snowboarding, which was the last time I've worn a coat at all.

I was never a huge fan of the Carhartt upper body wear, but those are pretty much the only pants I wear. I get the ones with the double paneled front that reinforces the thigh down past the knee... & they just last forever.

I am rebuilding Kanger coils, for some reason the vertical microcoil looked interesting to me. While watching reruns of the EPIC space battle yesterday in the spaceship game a few of us nerds were gushing over.

Vaping Thug Juice while making one more attempt at liking Carmel Coffee.

Video is best at 1080p, he could have made better music choices....

It was frapsed from teh view point of a carrier pilot zoomed out. The game is striking in it's beauty usually this guy had effects turned down to minimal and graphics turned down to minimal. The game can really tax a system when there are 4,000 people fighting on screen.

Warning, NERD FIGHT

Khala disappeared. I hope she didn't blow herself up using my spreadsheet.

Not at all. I just took a nap.

The spreadsheet is great - I figured out what was wrong with mine using it. Thank you!

That was a mighty short nap. You should try again & get it right this time

You're welcome. It's nothing fancy, I just threw it together in a minute or 2, but it'll work if you just need to see what'll happen when you mix base with a juice or 2 different strengths/ratios together. The downside is you can't put in a target & see what you need to add - but it shouldn't be too hard to add a separate small chart on the same page for that.

If you wanted to see what will happen to your flavor, you could just add another column, use the same formula & base it off 100. 100 for the flavored, 0 for the base, the result would just be the percentage.

I don't have the slightest clue of what I was just watching there. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a tutorial on how to make cookies. I'm 83% certain of that.
