+1 it's not a dog act asking her to contribute, if you do so nicely

If I was her I'd have offered to chip in long ago, but that's just me

If you were her you'd unfortunately be sucking her bf's cock and prolly have a different opinion on being a scumbag

Lucky you're not and the hypothetical can end there

"You don't realise how often you use maths on a day to day basis.. and how needed it is, those Math Teachers back in high school weren't lying about its practical applications"

Maths like that does have practical real world applications for 99% of the population, but I'm STILL trying to figure out exactly what differentiation / anti-differentiation is used for... That was the main thing I struggled with during VCE math, purely because I couldn't relate the figures or formula to anything, despite asking the teacher multiple times and feeling stupid for needing to ask when everyone else seemed to get it.

She used to cook dinner for me as 'payment' but that stopped a while ago

[Birds]

You need to go all Ari Gold on them; sit them down and say you're not getting free dinners anymore, so unless she's gonna help your girlfriend service you then gtfo

bahahaha Entourage moving comin out this week.. should be good

Get her to do other favours for you nomsayin

engineering. electrical uses it pretty often.

some of the maths we covered in TAFE surpassed what some of the VCE guys were doing in Specialist Maths. but TAFE cuts all the bullshit out and just gives you the formulas someone else has already figured out. and knowing its useful and you see it at work makes sooooooo much difference when learning.

and non-calculator exams... i dun geddit

I bombed maths methods in yr 11 & 12, but did a CAT (William Adams) aptitude test with ~90 people and scored top 2. it was all rough estimation against the clock.

Up to season 4 watching them all from the top - I'm not gonna make it in time, got slack for the last couple weeks

For WHAT though? Got a real world example?

Even pretending I was going to be part of the 1% of people who would use it in the future, would have helped me.

Edit: Watched the first 60 seconds of this... proceeded to kill myself. I'm now ded. Avenge me.

Seems bit stingy tho I mean bit of water who cares if she was eating ya food fair enough. But otherwise heating / electricity would still be gettin used with or without her presence

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I was unaware of this, given the world has not yet imploded

Just because Andrew Bolt's tacky, transparent, biggoted ramblings are typically the journalistic equivalent of one of Satan's minions fishing for fresh souls via the medium of finger painting with a fresh load his master's thick black jism doesn't mean he cant be correct on an issue every once in a while...

Seems bit stingy tho I mean bit of water who cares if she was eating ya food fair enough. But otherwise heating / electricity would still be gettin used with or without her presence

Yeah that's fair, more so my manners at play than the extra cost. At the very least mention it and see if she how she reacts, she might wanna help more with chores or something

[alr33x]

Yeah I'm with ya I was raised the same but just sayin wanting a fair stack of cash seems extreme.. To me.

Bolt is the only journo worth reading.

That's not true:

Hot water being used for her showers, hot water being used when she's washing her dishes, electricity and gas being used when she is cooking, lights being used when she's in the bathroom/bedroom, electricity being used when she is charging her phone/laptop, electricity being used to wash her clothes/towel, the boyfriend putting on the heater because she's cold....

These are all little things, but effectively these are times where it's costing for her to be there, and she's not paying for any of it.

I've been in this situation before. My housemates girlfriend was having up to three showers a day at our house and not contributing at all. I told the housemate she had to contribute or stop having showers all the time, they moved out

Well I I doubt she is cooking just for herself or cleaning just for herself so that electricity/gas/hot water would be getting used regardless

Just so we clear I get tight arse tenants saying "you can't turn the lights on for opens it costs us for that half hour" we get their bill break it down to an half hourly amount it's like a couple bucks I mean geez is wasteland that hardup?

[UNR33L]

This has struck an interesting debate.. will report back with how my conversation goes tonight

It's not so much being a tight ass for a 'few bucks' it's the fact of not signing up for it so to speak - to be living with another person, just kind of came in like a sponge and stays majority of her life here. (gotta remember it's only a unit)

At least when my mrs visits sometimes she cleans shit

[alr33x]

Yeah I agree she is taking advantage not so much cost perspective just she was t part of the deal.

yeah... talking about maths to maths people over-complicates things. they work with many unknowns and use them to re-write equations/simplify. in the real world, you just plug in those unknowns with values and solve for what you want to know.

calculus and derivatives are used for power measurement (energy over time).

Pythagoras theorem is used for calculating the 3 different types of AC power (real, apparent and reactive)

Imaginary numbers and vectors are used in measuring and calculating complex AC power

log is used to simplify time curves.

Theres equations and calculators for just about all of it, you just plug the numbers in most of the time. in my role you just need to understand what the equations are doing, engineers under how the equations were made (and other stuff) and mathematicians and physics people theorize and prove the equations.

And money almost always compensates for putting up with shit

So I say fair to cop some extra money

An extra person also makes the house dirtier
