yeah, whew....slow down...your average jumped from 4.91 all the way up to 5.00.......do your fingers hurt? :)

Undertoad 05-02-2004 10:10 AM

Hey man, that's over a 3 year period so any increase in the average is meaningful!

That's my story and I'm stickin to it

ut = 6069
xo= 6059

Assuming the rates stay the same (very unlikely) and that posts are presented in fractional parts on a per-second basis (also unlikely), it will be 33.70165746 days; 808.839779 hours; 48530.38674 minutes; 2911823.204 seconds.

For the ease of calculation, 11:05 = 665/1440ths of a day, or .4618055556

There are 30 days in April. Given the time of day that LJ recorded his values and the fractional day-part required for the posts to synch, it will be in the 34th day that they meet. 8+34 = 42, 42 - 30 = 12th of May (a Wednesday).

This still leaves us with 33.70165746 + .4618055556 - 34, or .16346302 days.

0.16346302 days = 3 hours, 55 minutes, 23.2 seconds.

So, all things being perfect, the post counts will be equal at 3:55.23 on May 12th.

i'm setting my alarm to check it at this time.......oh, ad this to the reasons why i'm not cool on that other thread.

Undertoad 05-10-2004 10:27 AM

And me with work to do and errands to run.

xoxoxoBruce 05-10-2004 03:34 PM

Oh joy, oh joy,....I get more posts and UT gets laid every weekend(minimum).
Guess I'm the big winner, huh? :(

Happy Monkey 05-10-2004 03:36 PM

Excellent. An Undertoad post directly next to xoxoxoBruce post, inside this thread.

Undertoad 05-10-2004 04:02 PM

That's a rather tall assumption on your part, B!

(Were we too obvious about it at the game?)

xoxoxoBruce 05-10-2004 04:05 PM

I have faith in you, master...bow...scrape...back out.

SteveDallas 05-10-2004 05:36 PM

Just remember, UT, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Undertoad 05-13-2004 10:34 AM

I'm the loser now as she [is a lurker here] read Bruce's comment, assumed she was the butt of a locker-room joke or something, and it has blown up the relationship.

:rolleyes:

lumberjim 05-13-2004 10:51 AM

UT,

that's a bummer, but if the realtionship was that fragile.......

also, one comment does not a lockeroom joke brunt bearer make. whoever this lurker is must have seen more than I did, and i don't miss much on here.....

and thirdly, not very nice of you to lay that at bruce's feet.

Undertoad 05-13-2004 10:54 AM

All true. Sorry B, it really has nothing to do with you.

warch 05-13-2004 11:24 AM

Well rats...Flyers then, with a big bowl of queso.

Undertoad 05-13-2004 12:41 PM

Update: we talked through the fragility

Sometimes life drama happens too fast for the Cellar.

I have kept my personal life away from here on purpose but you know, either it's full disclosure or nothing and I can never pick which is better.

She said the Cellar is proof of my honesty to some degree because what I say about what happened in my life is backed up by a history of posts that happened at the time and confirm it all.

lumberjim 05-13-2004 12:57 PM

well, that's good to hear.

And welcome, Ms X. whoever you are. I hope you stay around longer than the 5 undertoadettes from last month.
:)
