So the unreduced 6 months were more expansive than 6 * 1 month? 

No, they cost exactly the same. That's why they're unreduced.

[silverspawn]

ohh I thought 6*30 was 150  okay that makes much more sense. thanks ^-^

... what was he thinking there?

I meant that as a real question. What was the misunderstanding? I don't get his thought process.

To add a little background, I am taking these special vitamins now. When they were first made available to me, the receptionist at the time explained that they were $30 a month, but I could buy 6 months for the cost of 5. Since I have to return to the doctor every 6 months anyway, this was especially useful.

Apparently this new receptionist never thought of it as "Buy 5; get 1 free." I'm not sure how she was envisioning it in her mind, but it clearly did not involve getting a month for free. So then I was quoted the same price as before and realized that it was exactly how I phrased it.

It was also an early-morning appointment, so she may have been marginally awake.

Look what's trending on Facebook:

Finally got myself some more or less adequate Internet connection and a notebook after a month with just a phone with terrible coverage issues.

This is going on for about 20 minutes though:


Please oh please don't die on me


Edit:

FUUUUUUUU   
ahhhahaha it launched and started to play it's terrible music super loud and crushed when I tried to turn it off. adorable

Man, attending a redneck party does not mesh well with germaphobic me. The hamburgers and hot dogs plate had no tongs whatsoever. Just grab the meat with your bare hands and hope nobody else touched it first. Someone pointed out there wasn't a fork for the pickle jar, and I saw someone walk by with pickles on his hamburger, so, uh….

We had a cake for our graduating niece. Her boyfriend was enthralled by the hard chocolate decorations on top and kept touching them. I had to remind him that he said he had strep the day before, but he kept feeling the chocolate. I volunteered to serve the cake because I knew what areas weren't touched.

I guess I'm just prissy. In that regard, I probably was better off as an ignorant kid.

Man, attending a redneck party

All I had to read was this first line, and I could basically fill in everything else you said without reading the post

I'm trying to think of some positives of being a redneck. I can't think of any.

They're generally pretty handy. The average redneck can fix way more things better than I could. They might not necessarily be pretty, but they'd be functional.

They can also be generally pretty friendly, though that is likely more a matter of culture. My redneck in-laws are perfectly fine with gay and trans people. On the other hand, I would not go parading my gay cousins near certain other rednecks. 

Being redneck is not inherently bad, but there are many shared qualities with bad people. Being redneck doesn't necessarily mean you build your hamburger with your fingers, but that's certainly the case with this family.

[Seprix]

I think my question is just wrong anyways. Rednecks are a stereotype, you cannot compare all people to one single stereotype.

[liopoil]

What makes someone a redneck? I honestly don't know.

[Awaclus]

What makes someone a redneck? I honestly don't know.

Having a red neck.

How red? I've never seen anyone with a strangely red neck. I think I know what you're talking about though?

Well, it's easier to commit murder since your DNA matches everyone else in the community already anyway.

Not only can I still not spot it, that entire post made zero sense.  The one at Gamefaqs, that is.  "Bravely Second"?  What the hell kind of game title is that?

Looks like spotting it is more skippable than Tables thinks.

So, I'm having a problem with LaTeX/TikZ:
I'm trying to do this: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/71596/106050. However, if I compile this, the result looks different (see attachment), the circle centers seem to be in the wrong position. I'm trying to ask for help at stackexchange, but it won't let me, since I apparently don't have enough reputation.
Can anyone help me by either telling me why it doesn't work, asking why it doesn't work on stackexchange, or telling me about another way to draw an arc by specifying the two points it connects and the center?

"Bravely Second"?  What the hell kind of game title is that?

It's the sequel to Bravely Default. Duh.

The second game in the Bravely series, of course. It's a fantastic game, well worth a play if you're into RPGs.

Anyway the reference was the 90-93% thing. That's... almost accurate (I think it's actually more like 91.5-94%) but I couldn't help myself.

I tried the code, and it gives me the correct output. Are you sure you didn't change anything about the code?

it seems to be compiler dependant. For example, this online compiler has the right output, while this one  has the same result as my offline one.

The Dominion League has started. In my haste to be as efficient and quick as possible with copy/pasting messages regarding the best times to play, I inadvertently sent myself a message.

What did you compile with? Can you check what version of pgf was used?

If you're interested, Ipe is really fantastic for figures like this and plays very nicely with Latex. My thesis had some horrendously complicated figures that came out looking very nice.  http://ipe.otfried.org/
