So, what did you get a ticket for.....Speedy?

OK good bed time story here

Ok I had 132 miles around 2 hours 23 min drive, 35 mins in my phone with the new android kit.... system crashed. I got it working and it now said I had 3 hours and 15 min drive left :confused:

SO after the 4th time this happened and my GPS in my car wouldn't work either I am lost in the Mountains of SC when I finally find my way to a highway I knew would lead me in the right direction.

This is now 4 hours later :facepalm:

So I am trying to get my phone to work and trying to get my GPS to kick in cause it now says I am not on a road but driving threw the woods, when I see this car riding my bummer.

So I move over, he does too. I ignore him for about 5 miles, the whole time trying to get my stuff to work.

Then I had to see what this guys problem was and I looked in the mirror to see all the pretty flashing blue and red lights. :facepalm:

77 in a 55 :(
But I told him my story he laugh and laugh and laugh :(
Told me he was from Buffalo NY just North of Me :) Gave me directions and let me go :D

And....apparently judging by his last post in that thread, he couldn't handle the "stress" of you guys poking at him about his confusion regarding the use of "x".

Live well, Love hard, Laugh often & Vape on!

Perhaps his studies will bring about another Game Changer. A Variable Joule mod sounds interesting.

Sometimes they can be helpful. Buffalo huh? Where are you from?

You're silly. They have machines that push the button. Someone has to be around to watch to make sure the machine is working right though. I guess that would be someone like you.

Push a button :?: no way that's to much like work :blink: I will stick to my QC gig.:D

Again having to sit in the same chair all day with no net or vape :blink: To hard :D

We're gonna have to start 'splanin how the ProVari regulates your vape using a Flux Capacitor.
We just need a diagram of the circuit, which will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Variable Voltage with a Flux Capacitor is more advanced than Variable Wattage with a broken Ohm's law.

And they somehow missed the reason that I posted "X" was to emphasize it was multiplication.

If one posts: 2 x 4 = 8 is there something in the presentation that would indicate algebra is involved?

Did you read the part of the thread I linked to? It wasn't even a ProVari issue. I was using a decimal point in my calculations and the guy wasn't. I was getting 2.3 and 1.8, but he was getting 2 for both, so of course the rest of his numbers didn't match mine.

Ah, I encountered the factorial trees or whatever they are this year.

I don't mind if they change the way they teach math - as long as they successfully teach basic math. Sadly, they don't.

When I CAN see what my child is working on (this year, all year, they didn't have a textbook to bring home, so I really couldn't help her and she had terrible grades on almost every test), I help.

When it comes to anything like algebra or even basic calculus, I'm the weirdo who doesn't follow a strict set of rules, but can "figure out how to figure it out". I work on a single simple algebra problem with my daughter, and we solve it 5 different ways, and by the end she is beginning to learn what's going on - and how to solve a math problem. Whereas in school, they're taught a strict process to solve a particular type of problem - and as you've all pointed out, this is an INVENTED process that's alien to many of us - and it's NO BETTER than the old process, and it's NOT EASIER to comprehend. It's just different. And it ONLY teaches them that one funky process - it doesn't teach them to SOLVE A PROBLEM in real life. "Oh, this is where I have to use the factorial tree process" - nope.

First time I met with her latest math teacher, she told me (in the presence of a Vice Principal) about all the resources available for help - she was lying.
Second time I met with this teacher, it took me 3 tries to explain to her the error in the text. Because, as I realized during that conversation - she really isn't any good at math.

Physics, Cal Berkeley, End Rant



Also, ask my daughter what happens if you make an error with a decimal point or something. She'll look at the ceiling and sigh, "I know...I know...everybody dies". LOL. I like to come up with real-life examples of how you might use the math she's doing. Tire traction. Airplane fuel. Collision velocity. Bullet trajectory. You know - stuff a teenage girl can relate to.

I did get that, finally. I was just enjoying the thought of whipping out "Flux Capacitor!" as a response when an initial clear response doesn't work for Ohm's Law questions.

Could they just make a Kayfun V4 with a different chimney style and achieve most of the benefit?
Is that the biggest difference (that and glass)?

And what's that black disk in the break-out photo?
Is that some kind of "top of the chimney vape condensor" or something?


Prediction: The Rüzgar is going to become a very Hot New Toy. It's pricey, so the style may not really take off until it's cloned, but the clones aren't going to be that great since the way it's designed is kind of intricate.

Train,
That black disk looks like a plunger, to seal it up possibly? I haven't had a chance to use one of these yet.
