Relationship Lazy?

Lol! Now, that I disagree with. I'm not saying it is easy to be ready, but it is possible. if you watch your own patterns and behaviors, you will know the signals and feel it in heart & mind when you are ready. Even if you aren't ready by someone else's standards, it is one's own standard on readiness that counts

 

One can be "ready," but more often, life comes at you on its own timetable, and you have to live it whether you feel ready or not.

Haha. Magical mathematically inclined hermit for the win!

I'm too lazy to figure this out. Will some kind soul explain it to me (I get the change part - it's the code at the end that eludes me)

It is the hexadecimal constant...better explained in the video below....listen carefully and it will all make sense. Alternatively, I'm sure @Mikegaite can whisper a simple XXXplanation in your ear while performing other academic feats. Or a bear engineer type could come out his hibernation an enlighten us all!

It's a hexadecimal constant and was first publicly used in Quake 3 back in the late-90's. It's a math hack that made such early "3D" games possible on the hardware of the time. Mike is probably a math and/or code geek to make such a joke. I'm sure he could explain it much better than I since I'm neither a math nor a code geek. I'm a renaissance-style geek who knows a little here and there.

I refuse to launch into discussions about hexadecimal maths. Nor indeed to Sumerian and Babylonian 60-based maths (how many minutes are there in an hour?).
