Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time

Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time
It only resembles addition. It is in fact grouping by a *determinant.
* Word made up on the spot by me. I dunno if it's actually a word.

Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time
Determinant is a mathematical term, but it is used with matrices, not multiplication.

Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time
The other number in a multiplication determines how many groups there are, and wether it is positive or negative interacts with wether the other number is positive or negative to determine wether the answer is positive or negative.
'Determinant' fits until someone tells me a better word.

Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time
Technically, the numbers in a multiplication operation are 'multiplicand' and 'multiplier'.
And also technically, a determinant involves multiplication (the summation of 2n products of n terms, with n of those products being added, and n being subtracted, in a matrix of n by n terms; determinant is only meaningful in a square matrix).
And finally, back on topic. I tend to like it when the days get shorter, because it's cooler outside, and I don't feel like I need to be urgently doing something as much when it's dark. It gives me more time to relax, which I think is a good thing. Maybe I'll begin thinking differently when I'm not a full-time student with two part-time jobs.
--edit: spelling mistake.

It probably doesn't help that we live in a rainy temperate climate. I happen to like the rain, so the rainy nites don't really bother me. Cold cloudy days do though. It's the grey that gets to me. I'm thankful that at nite I can't see those grey clouds. You should probably drink more. Two negative make a positive!

Oddly I like the rain too, but I think its the change from sunny long days to rainy dark ones that triggers the mood swing toward feeling blue. At least the coast was semi-nice last sunday.

Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time
It's raining more and more now. The last few days it's wet and dark when I leave my house to go to work. I pass a school on the way and teachers on strike are standing around in the rain.

Re: A Tangent: There Was A Time
I noticed too that we didn't get our Indian Summer this time. Oops I mean "our indigenous population post autumnal equinox." Usually it's very nice in October and it slowly get colder and cloudier right up to the predictable drizzly cold Halloween. Time for another shot of Jaegger and a bottle of Spaaten. Only 63 more days and and the days will get longer again.
I guess you wouldn't like my plan for the metric 10 hour day!
