Stupid Pet Peeves

Claiming that mathematicians are baffled by differing conventions in the order of operations.

Yeah, I had some physics students ask me about that yesterday. I gave basically the same answer as the AMA guy quoted in that article: "It's ambiguous. No physicist [or mathematician] would ever write an equation like that." You will never see a college physics or math textbook, nor any peer-reviewed articles, that use the ÷ sign. But the ambiguity isn't in the simplistic junior high school order-of-operations--that's easy enough to follow and give one answer. The ambiguity is in what the person writing the expression would have meant by the ÷ sign, which you would really have to judge from context.

Who carries a wallet anymore? A money clip is where it’s at you clowns.

OK, I'm thinking of making the conversion. Any recommendations for money clips? Or are they all pretty much the same?

Not really. Whatever your style is. Usually they’re in black or brown. You can probably get one to do the job for around $20-25 at a department store in some mall out there. Maybe they’re more now.



Here’s one at Macy’s. This one looks like it has three or four sleeves. In each sleeve, you can usually hold about 4-5 cards. Plus obviously cash in the clip part. My experience with the clips are that once you get past 5-6 bills, the thing won’t latch closed all that well so if you carry a lot of bills usually, maybe test it out first.

I’ve had a money clip in this basic style before. Don’t like them. At all. The cash or cards don’t feel
remotely secure in the metal clip.

Oh snap I didn’t see Colton’s post til just now.

I don't call it a money clip, it's a front pocket wallet.

Ya my wallet is already pretty thin. I usually keep it in my front pocket.
I have no need to change it up

This is a small wallet with a clip attached.
