What You Learned Today #1

For the last few years, we've been asking all you Vintage Vantagees what you've learned today. Here are some of our favorite answers:

I learned that even if the customer is always right, he still might be a douchebag about it. Also, I don't get paid enough.

I learned that while life is good, cinnamon life is better.

Never cook bacon with your shirt off.

I learned that no matter how nice you are to somebody they're still gonna tell you you're an ugly basket of nachos.

If you trip while running on a treadmill, just let go. The intense burn from the belt is worse than the bruises from falling off.

Words of wisdom abound! Please leave us a comment telling us what YOU learned today.

Ask Heather #1

Dear Heather,
I'm trying to integrate a super exponential function in a convex domain, but I have a free boundary problem. What can I do?

-Virginia Boeing Small


Hey Ginny -
Free boundary problems can usually be fixed by putting up fences or making the superexponential functions wear electric collars. But those are negative reinforcement solutions. It's much easier if you make your convex domain a happy, peaceful, interesting place to live, and then maybe your super exponential function won't want to test the free boundaries at all.

Keep it fresh,
heather

Dippin' our toes

Hi there internet peoples, and welcome to the very first Vintage Vantage blog entry. We've got lots of plans for what's going to go in here - photos of VV in action and behind the scenes, videos of spandex superheroes, suspect advice columning, free t-shirts, and plenty of nonsense now and then. We'll try our goddamndest to make it worth your while, because we all know you don't have to be reading this right now.

You could, for instance, be watching one of those G.I. Joe PSA videos.

Or figuring out exactly how many five year olds you could take in a fight. *

We'll be posting daily and sometimes double-daily, so you should check back all the time. Just think of us as that weird Canadian Carrot Lady that won't take no for an answer.

*We can take out 23. Beat that.
