Judging by the word "thing" in his post, I think he was implying both commands: "make me a sandwich" and "sudo make me a sandwich."
Listen! Do you smell something?

Hey, fuck you. I got a guy running Ubuntu connected wirelessly even though technically I should have told him to go fuck himself. It was definitely an OS issue, too, because he could boot into Windows and connect just fine. Turns out apparently Ubuntu has trouble connecting if it's not WPA2?

And who seriously asks someone to reboot their computer on a no synch  :lol

My favorite so far has been the "Dramatization of real events one".

Me: "How?"
Cole: "Well you know when you try to scratch your balls, and you scratch too hard?
I'll admit sometimes I want to listen to Dragonforce.

Yeah, the circumstances that lead to him posting them is of course sad and I'd completely understand if he just said "sorry guys, crisis, BRB, have patience" but instead we got some quite fun stuff to read!

Dang, I wish I could understand this joke. Is there a lot of physics in Complex Analysis? I'll be taking it in my master's program.

No, there's a lot of complex analysis in physics. The wave function has an imaginary part, so by multiplying it by its complex conjugate, the stickfigureguy is removing the imaginary part, thus making it real.

Ahhh, OK. I briefly learned about the wave differential equations in my differential equations class, but it was slight.

Yep, all you gotta do is know that it's a complex function.

Anything more than "3 + x = 10" is complex.
