* @Crusader sighs as he goes to find a pair of matching socks
<%Kaze> XD
<%Kaze> it's just socks. as long as they are kinda similar, it's good enough
<randoomized> so true kaze
<@Crusader> Kaze, I know but I'd rather not look like a total slob if we hang out at one of her friend's houses
<@Crusader> first impressions and all that shit
<%Kaze> solve your problems
<%Kaze> get rid of all your socks,
<@Crusader> I live with 3 bothers
<%Kaze> then buy 20 packs of the exact same style/type of white sock
<%Kaze> keep yours separate
<%Kaze> or
* @Crusader barely has enough money for food and school
<%Kaze> steal their money, throw out ALL THE SOCKS IN THE HOUSE!!!!
<%Kaze> buy 50 packs of the same style sock, in either gray or black
<%Kaze> and then don't care who uses them XD cause they're all the same
<@Crusader> you fail to realise how fast 4 people can lose socks
<%Kaze> lol. i do not fail how to realize.
<%Kaze> that is 300 pairs of socks, assuming you get the 6-packs
<%Kaze> 600 socks total
<%Kaze> that will last for 3 months.
<@Crusader> lol
<+SirDuck36> depends on your ANSDR
<%Kaze> ANSDR?
<+SirDuck36> averaged net sock depletion rate
<%Kaze> true.
<@Crusader> is there really an official term for how often you use/lose socks?
<+SirDuck36> yep
<Fafnir> there is now
<%Kaze> but that should actually turn out approximately correct
<%Kaze> OMG
<+SirDuck36> the variable is usually S for sock
<+SirDuck36> S(t) = initial_socks * exp ( - ANSDR * t )
<%Kaze> okay, assuming each person uses 2 pairs of socks a day. that's 8 pairs every day.
<%Kaze> assume only half that gets put in the wash, and the other half is lost/destroyed
<%Kaze> the wash is done.... Crus, how often?
<Fafnir> SirDuck36, that's CSDR
<Fafnir> not ANSDR
<+SirDuck36> :o
<+SirDuck36> what's the C for
<@Crusader> two loads of clothes a day
<Fafnir> Characteristic
<Fafnir> ANSDR is, uh...
<+SirDuck36> fair enough :)
<Fafnir> damn, I need an integral symbol for that
<+SirDuck36> \int
<%Kaze> okay, so theoretically, the 1/2 rate loss happens when they get tossed in the laundry & lack of being tossed in the laundry.
<Fafnir> anyway, <dN/dt>
<%Kaze> but overal, should still fit
<%Kaze> some one get a formula working for this XD
<&Fax> what the fuck
<&Fax> this had better be a sleep-deprivation induced hallucination
<+SirDuck36> :P
<%Kaze> what, discussion of Socks Math?
<&Fax> (image: Chuck Norris shooting every one)
<&Fax> yes, the discussion
<%Kaze> 300 pairs, using 8 a day, loss of 1/2 used, but the other 4 pairs go back into circulation. how many days will this last?
<&Fax> the gif is what I"M GOING TO DO TO ALL OF YOU IF THIS ISN'T A SLEEP-DEPRIVATION INDUCED HALLUCINATION
