Okay, as someone who sucks ass in math I am going to give you some words of advice:
CHEAT.
How? Start with Photo math, then go to any sites that have a "Calculator" in them.
This will let your brain arrange the problem in a series of logical steps.
Feel free to PM if you want to brainstorm, or if I can lend some search expertese.
Also makean account on Wayback Machine - TONS of textbooks there that have been archived. It seems like you are struggling with how YOUR texbook presents the material.
Good Luck!

Update on the Dad Front:

He's got a kidney stone. It'll probably pass sometime in the next week. In the meantime, he's in hell. He's doped up on pain meds right now, but obviously when you're dealing with a pain comparable and possibly worse than childbirth, it still hurts pretty damned bad.

Kiwis who've dealt with kidney stones, any suggestions on how to make his next week or so less hellish?

My papa went through that.
Be there for him.
THAT is what is important.

One step at a time. Breathe.
Focus on what YOU can control.

On my front I will let you guys know tomorrow but work sucks a lot less. My only hope in posting what I share is that it will help someone else who is struggling. It DOES get better.

I used to really give a shit about that, and I'm not sure what changed, but my attitude towards sex has changed drastically in the past six months. Before, I never would have been OK with one night stands or intermittent fucking outside of a relationship, now I just don't care. I feel like something broke, and what's more worrisome to me is that I really couldn't care one way or the other.

I can relate to this sentiment a lot. Not sure if it's the same with you but in my case I think it's environmental/cultural. Sex has been commoditized to the point where it seems to saturate just about everything to the point where it no longer feels significant or intimate so there's no real emotional impetus and therefore no real point in trying to treat it like it's anything special.

I wish every single person on KF had a collective stomach so I could open it up with a rusty fish knife, ease back in a lawn chair, and sip Southern Comfort watching you fade in and out of consciousness and your guts fall to the floor, then go back to watching re-runs of Sanford and Son.

So I've been better.

Im angry/sad, so much bullshit for the past two years. Now have to pray for peace so that the world doesn't nuke itself into oblivion. The world sucks so much now... it's exhausting.

What makes you think it DESERVES to not get nuked? I've run out of excuses m'self.

Good. I won't have to listen to people constantly accusing me of every crime under the sun daily.

I live in the ass-end of the planet but I bet we're gonna get nuked over this globohomo dick measuring contest anyway

I have the good fortune to be living within thirty miles of a prolific air force base so if it's any consolation, I'll be among the first to be vaporized in the event of nuclear armageddon.

It surprised me but I came to the conclusion recently that as long as it's quick and relatively painless, I'm okay with that prospect.

I think it's never going to happen though, at least not during this particular stupid and gay shit. I'd give it a couple of more years.

I had a seizure the other day and fell and hit my head on the corner of a table, then rolled off and seized on the carpet. Its one of those shitty woven carpets so now I have a black eye and a huge carpet burn across the side of my face up to the middle of my forehead. I also smushed my glasses when I fell on them.

If I didnt look like such a fuckin retard Id tell people I got into a fight and kicked ass or something, or got thrown from a bike, or Id pretend I look like Scarface or something. But I fuckin look retarded and cant stand the mirror. Im gonna miss not having huge scars on my face.

Nuclear war isn't going to happen any time soon if for the sole reason that those in charge of potentially pushing the proverbial button really, REALLY like their hookers and blow.

thank you for the tips! i already did the exam, and it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. if anything i overstudied, it really wasn't TOO hard. it was linear algebra- matrixes and shit for computer science. I know about online calculators, they definitely did help for studying. on top of that, there were also youtube videos I watched that explained things a whole lot better than my professor or textbook ever did- but i will make a wayback machine account, because i'm sure things won't get any easier from here lol.

needless to say i'll PM you if i ever need help like this again- calculus is next year. much appreciated!

I hate not knowing how some things work. I can figure out new computer programs for work, or learn new crafts. But cars? I'm an idgit.

My car's been back for a week and a half, and it suddenly started groaning when I turned the wheel and stuff. Sounding off and feeling rough. I call the shop and all they can tell me is bring it in to get a look over. I popped open the hood to check power steering since I can at least tell it's coming from around there. The fluid is very low, almost not even getting the bottom of the dipstick. I buy some universal power steering fluid but then get antsy that I might be getting the wrong one.

My bf tells me to just call them. I don't want to because of anxiety and I already called earlier but I do it. Shop just says it should be fine to fill it up with said fluid and see if you can make it ro the shop tomorrow.

I top it up and run my car. The sound is like 85% gone so I'm hopeful that's what it needed. I'm just annoyed for two reasons. One, one of the things they did in the shop was a power steering flush. So either they didn't top it up afterward (I feel like that's customary?), or there's a leak they missed/just popped up. Second, I don't expect my bf to coddle me but he acts like I'm a giant wimp for "never calling people" and "worrying all the time". Maybe I am a worrywort, but it stings a little.

Still alive, somehow. I've nearly died so many times in the past five or so years that it's all a sick joke to me because there was a point in my life where I was suicidal. It wasn't edgy teen suicidal shit either I had some legit reasons to want to die.
Anyway, not powerleveling.

I'm improving. Somehow.
I've been given the okay to start weaning myself off of meds that I've been taking for a while.

I'm fully in remission, I guess.

Like, I don't know if they're even a bad business. The front desk guy took the time to explain the work being done and all the costs beforehand. They seemed to have fixed the main problems I came in with. And called me a few days after I got my car back to see how things are going. And I do get they can't diagnose any issue over the phone so that's why they said to come back in.

I already planned on noting down anything that came up. So either this is an oversight, or something that happened after getting it back somehow. Seems like topping up the fluid makes it run better again. But i'll keep checking the levels for a leak. They said I have a warranty on the work so if it is their fault I'll try to nag them about it for sure.

It's been a decade or more since I had power steering problems on a car, and newer cars might be completely different (my cars were 80's and early 90s models) and I don't do much car work anymore and am in no way current on modern shit, but its possible they flushed and filled it, but when you turn the wheel the fluid pumps from the reservoir, and they forgot to top it off. They should have turned the wheel several times with the car running, then checked it and topped it again. Could be as simple as not turning the wheel enough to work it through, or you could have a leak. Hope you get it worked out.
