In my experience, dots for multiplication is common, colons for division is not. Colons are used for ratios which represent relative proportions, rather than an operation with a single answer.

Potatis: In your third>fourth segment, you do subtraction/addition before division. 9+(126:3-(22)+18):2 = 9+(126:- 1):2 should be 9+(126:3-(22)+18):2 = 9+(42-22+18):2
I got 28 in my brain after a little while. I'll note that this is the first time I've seen dots and colons used for multiplication and division. Is that common?
If I’m going to get funding for anything, it’d be for my projects. Though, it really does feel like a fine for a stupid genetic condition. I could choose a fun number of petty crimes that would incur less in fees and fines, and that would be my choice, but I didn’t choose any of this. I have a healthy lifestyle, and it’s sick that that was never an issue. What gets me is simply seeing how decrepit the system is and how it’s messed up everything. A colleague and phenomenal artist had passed from a medical complication before she could get her degree. She couldn’t afford what she needed, and that shit stole her from making the world a brighter place, and that shit scares me. The system failed her, and the world lost a promising artist. I can’t fail nor be failed upon either, I’ve got shit to get done.

How did you get it to 28? 9+((120–21·3+10-4)·2:3-(6·9-(80–18·4)·4)+18):2 = 9+((63)*2:3-(54-(8)*4)+18):2 = 9+(126:3-(22)+18):2 = 9+(126:-1):2 = 9+(-126):2 = -117:2 = -58.5 ???
I’m home now but I got some serious challenges. First of all, the medication I have to take for the rest of my life is fucking $4,800! Even the doc was apologizing about the price before he even named it.
And yes I did do work on my phone for things. I never stop.

Satch, I say this with love, I cannot wait for you to retire so I can get my hands on your fiction!
When I moved to London for work in June 2017, I wasn't able to get my computer down with me. A year and a half later, I've finally had it couriered down now that I've moved to a flat big enough for a desk (London rent prices are amongst the worst in the world), and although I was excited with the idea in theory, in practice the computer has remained un-powered in the corner of my room.
I am so sorry to hear that. As if life isn't hard enough, but when it rains, it pours.
Coming from a medical perspective, I'll say that the cause of ulcerative colitis is mostly genetic, but with environmental triggers. I wouldn't blame yourself for your diet, and there's nothing you can do about your genes.
I have friends who live with ulcerative colitis for decades. I have friends on the spectrum. We all make it work somehow--it doesn't mean it's easy. There are very effective treatment for UC, but you'll need to deal with side effects.
In fact, one of my pediatric colleagues became a pediatric gastroenterologist because of her personal struggle with ulceratis colitis. Maybe you'll end up in medical school.

Time really flies. I remember being a kid, and all of a sudden, I am contemplating retirement.
Our finances allow us to retire in our fifties, and we plan to have an active retirement. I will still work part-time, but we will travel the world and continue do crazy stuff.
P.S. I was playing Minecraft by myself last night while my son was at soccer practice.

Glad to see you're still popping in from time to time, Satch. I have to admit now that I have kids and a load of more mature friends, I am starting to seek my entertainment elsewhere. I love gaming and mapping and the TWHL community, but as my kids get older I will be looking to do more and more with them, out of the house.
Of course I will simply stop making maps one day in the future, but not just yet, and it is highly unlikely that I will ever stop gaming full stop.
Retirement seems so very far away at the moment that I couldn't even imagine how I'd spend that time, but I guess I'll have a better idea closer to the time... (38 years to go yet...)

Ugh. Steroids rant.
Is Admer the only one that didn't cheat like Pengy and got the right one?
You lazy Pengy...

As we grow, we change. And that's not always a bad thing.

Dunno, I just don't have that itch anymore.
Fuck.
Hope you're okay, mate.
Better bring a laptop to the hospital so you can polish SMJ from a ward.
Also happy Belated Birthday!

Hang in there. We are here if you need to vent.
Happy belated.

Here's hoping you can make it to last year, pretty sure that'd be setting some records in terms of age
Oh wow, it's also a power of 2. 32-unit grid.

So i decided to rip of my keyboard so my laptop can breath much more free air.
Now my laptop never overheats, even in hottest days.
Oh no no, I'd never get rid of it. I always want to utilise it somehow.
For now, it'll be useful for performance evaluation in maps etc.
I've also got a 2005 HP Compaq which I'm planning to use as a small home server. :3
It's great to see everyone branching to his destiny.
