Remember when the NYC health commissioner and mayor mocked Trump about the China travel ban? They told people to go to restaurants, take the subway, and to check out the parade.....turns out that is where it started spreading

This is where testing blunders killed us. Early March NY thinks they have 1 case. “We got this, no problem”. Oops - nope, you actually have 10,000 cases.

Unbelievable irony on several levels.

“Why don’t our elites all get treated better than the rest of you when they commit crimes?! Waaaaaaahhhhh!”

Trumpism isn’t populism, it’s just elitist dick envy.

I put my time in as a floor nurse too sweetheart, then I got smart.

Sweetheart? That’s not me knocking her. That’s me being surprised that’s how you engage a female in conversation. Better then sugar tits I suppose.

Since we are doing this... @OHvol40 ...

Find the equation y = a x 2 + x of the parabola that is tangent to the line with equation y = 3 x + 1.

I assume ax2 is ax^2? If so, I would take the derivative of the parabola to get f' = 2ax+1, which just so happens to be of the same form as the tangent line equation.
2a=3

a = 3/2

Therefore the equation of the parabola would be y = (3/2)x^2+x

Is this right?

Another example of you not reading far enough back in a thread.

Which reminds me: did you ever reconcile defending a guy who was mocking poor people with your supposed distaste for elitists?

I mean you said George Kent was an elitist because he wore a bow tie, but you’re down with someone using a man’s struggle to keep the lights on as a pejorative? Just depends on which strain of TDS they’ve got, I guess.

Close. Extending your approach,,,

The slope of the parabola changes with x as your derivative shows - however, the slopes of both are equal at the point of intersection between the tangent and the parabola. Also you know the point (x,y) at the point of tangency is shared between the two functions. 2 eqns 2 unknowns. So solve for x when the y’s equal each other, you get 1/a. Plug that into the two equations equaling each other and you get a = -1.

Cute cartoon. Now what about the people that are protesting because they have been closed down for 6-8 weeks and can't make a living?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

No, the ones bringing cheap rifles to march on state capitals.

Cheap rifles... I guess that is an insult.

Have you heard of a Mannlicher–Carcano?

I see what you're saying. Basically, take the derivative of both the parabola and the tangent line to solve for where the slopes are equal.

2ax+1=3

2ax=2

x = 1/a

Then

a(1/a)^2+(1/a) = 3(1/a)+1

2/a=(3/a)+1

2=3+a

a=-1

You’re trying very hard to make it not sound stupid, but it still sounds incredibly stupid.

If his bedside manner is anything like his personality on here, I would think he would do better herding sheep.

I'm sure his bedside manner is the best birth control ever next to a lawyers personality.

y = -x^2 + x

amiright?

yep

Or doing autopsies.

Just want to throw this in here. If any Red Hat ever bitches again about folks calling you out on being fat and white, never again bitch about anything. I've seen Moochelle, accusations calling men women, hate doing what it does.
