What was the consensus?
My consensus was that changing a tire by yourself is stupid and dangerous in NYC.  Plus, this time I was covered for a free change.  If the first guy would've found the lug nut key, I would've been on my way quicker, and with less crush injuries, than if I attempted to change the tire myself.

Peters explanation is more convincing :P

:yes:

Anyway, if one has money, why would one ever want to change their own tire?

:yes: The only reason to change a tire yourself is if you're out there somewhere in the wilderness, and there is no one to get to you.  If I find myself in that situation, then I guess I'll have to read the relevant chapter in the owner's manual a couple of times, and get the tourniquets ready.

I've heard of countries giving A, B, C, D, & F, I've heard of countries giving 0-100, countries giving 0-20, etc., but I have never before heard of a country handing out E's.

Yeah what is an E? Effort?

We give out 12, 10, 7, 4, 02 (passed), 00 (failed), and -03. Supposedly this corresponds better with the ECTS scale than our earlier 13-scale (13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 03, 00)

:wacko: WTF

Yeah, apparently it's after the American scale. A(12), B(10), C(7), D(4), E(02), Fx(00), F(-03)

Except that we don't have an E or an Fx. :unsure:

God, I hate math. :glare:

Working on a C++ exercise that requires we include the formula to work out the dew point based on getting the temp in F and humidity. We have to convert the temp to C, calculate the dewpoint, then convert the temp back to F. The program works fine... my math is completely fucked up. :weep:

Programming is a bit of an odd choice if you hate math. :huh:
