You served in the Military right? (hopefully I didn't pull that out of my ass)
Did you enjoy your time in the Military? Which branch did you serve in? Did it help you get to where you are today?
I'm thinking about joining that's why I ask
Yes. No. USAF. No. Don't.

It won't help you become a civil engineer. Ok, it might help a little, but the 6 years would be better spent in college, and in the civilian field.
I didn't like being in the air force, because I was not free to state my opinion, and I was in charge of a lot of stupid people. It irritated me. One idiotic thing after the next. For example, this one guy wouldn't stop going to the bathroom in the parking lot. The military, I feel, was a waste of time.

What do you fear the most?
I fear the day when we can create A.I.
Needles. I'm not physically afraid of ANYTHING but hypodermic needles.

i've got a girlfriend who quite often treats me like crap but i don't know what i would do without her.
any chance of some advice, please? :/
Sit entirely alone for a week. Get rid of all electronics, excessive food, desserts, sounds, people, decorations, furnature, etc. Just sit on the floor quietly and meditate alone in a plain room. Your life may require some stuff, but do as little as possilbe. Just sit quietly. After a week you'll know what to do.

if x=0.999999, then 10x=9.999999, if 9x=9, then x=1, however my problem iwth the math is the last line "1=.999999"
Read it again... and Laihendi will provide a line-by-line explanation to go along with it.
x = 0.999...
not much to say here.
10x = 9.999...
So 0.999... x 10 = 9.999... you move the decimal over to the right one place when you multiple something by ten.
10x-x=9.999....-0.999...
It has already been established that x = 0.999... and 10x = 9.999... so subtracting x from 10x is the same thing as subtracting 0.999... from 9.999...
9x=9
Woah! 9.999... - 0.999... = 9. Basic subtraction.
x=1
9x divided by 9 is... x. And 9 divided by 9 is... one!
1=0.999...
It was already established at the beginning of the proof that x = 0.999... but as you can see, it is also equal to 1. So if 0.999... = x = 1, then 0.999 = 1.
Algebraic proofs are something you can't really dispute... so don't even try. Doing so shows ignorance about something taught to middle school students. On a slightly off-topic note, this is an example of why Laihendi doesn't think you're fit to school children.
I get this and I turned 13 last saturday :D.
For more dumb dumb people you can also do this.
1/3 = .3333....
2/3 = .66666....
3/3 = .9999...
3/3 = 1
.9999...= 1

3/3 = .9999...
How vastly different that is than 1 = .9999....
But seroiusly, let's get some new questions please.
