Dear cable companies, channels, and advertising companies.

1) A one hour show now has seven minutes of commercials or more. You're pushing it.
2) STOP JACKING UP THE FUCKING COMMERCIAL VOLUME.

It's considerably more. IIRC, a one hour show is forty-something minutes.
and the "something" is usually less than 5

You're right zzuupp, I distinctly thought 43-44 minutes per show, subtracted that from an hour... and came up with seven. So my math skills are falling apart.

So, dear aforementioned companies,

Just go fuck yourselves.

Tonight's project list...
1) Find graph paper, make Physics graph
2) Work on Calculus online homework

That's all I expect to be able to finish.

Graph done. A mixture of pen and pencil, some shuffled naming terms... hey, TA, you're a prick. Enjoy kid.

And now back to aggravating myself with Calculus online homework... while watching various orchestral groups playing One Winged Angel.

No, fuck this online homework. I'd email the teacher to complain, but it won't open the window for that. It just changed the problem. I have integral of 1 over (x+5) ln (x+5), solved for that, and then it changed the entire problem to 1 over (x-4) ln (x-4) and told me I was wrong. Well, obviously my answer is wrong when you CHANGE THE FUCKING QUESTION.

With written homework, I'd get a 10/15 on the whole assignment for partial credit. With online homework, I'm at 3.5/15.

Instead, I have no idea why my answers are wrong, because the system can't correct your work, and it only throws back general forms and tersely worded theorems that don't explain anything.

At this point, just three weeks into the semester, I need to get a perfect score on every single remaining homework just to keep it from hurting my final grade. I can't actually gain any ground.

Let's see... homework one closed 2/6, homework two the same, homework three on the ninth, homework four on the eleventh.

I emailed Pearson support on the fifth, and didn't have access until the ninth. Cool!

My opinion has always been that online homework is an inferior and ineffective replacement for written homework, and my opinion has only been steadily reinforced by this latest heap of fucking bullshit.

Pre-ordered Rift via Steam, just so I can get the TF2 weapons. The scout weapon looks cool. The pyro weapon looks unbelievably fucking awesome.
