OT. Note to self: weights

When benchpressing adjust your grip before lifiting off of the stand, not
after, as a 40kg barbell dropping on to your stomach is not pleasant.
Thankfully missed my ribs though, which was nice.

 

Heh. Nice, i'm stupid but *that* stupid

 

QED?

 

Is that really a question?

 

Is this really an answer?

 

No, that would be another question. What I meant was can/should "QED" be
used in the context of a question? I've always understood it to be an
abbreviation for a phrase that suggests something has been proven in which
case the ? succeeding it would be uncesessary.

Anyway, my brain hurts now as well as my abdomen so I'm going to bed.

 

QED = quod erat demonstrandum (IIRC) = which has been demonstrated

I *think* that *techincally [1] it means 'Which *was* to be
demonstrated' so correct usage:

You ask me to make a fool of myself
I oblige and tag QED on the end.

[1] Dangerous ground for me with some of the English experts here
[2] I stand to be very much corrected.

Oh, probably, I got kicked out of Latin after 1 year.

Latin, shirley?

 

Well yes, quod erat demonstrandum is latin, and I *think* the literal
translation is which *was*, but if my interpretation of the tense is
right is another (English) matter IYSWIM.

In year 1, we all did a foreign language. In year 2, those who were
good at it, had Latin added (teacher was sadistic and unhelpful and I
did not do well). In year 3, those few considered too incompetent
and/or bolshy, got kicked out again - I scored on both counts and was
the only one so kicked. I did art instead, which the timetable had not
previously allowed, and at which I was much better. So I won all
round.
