Rude awakenings

You know those things that you knew once but forgot later in order to make room for other things? Like that time you deleted common tropical fish illnesses in order to learn about humanist typefaces?

Okay that was probably just me.

There was also that other time I learned calculus and promptly discarded all my knowledge on completing the square ('haha' I said to myself, I'll find my quadratic vertexes through derivatives now!).

Then shit like ∫1/sqrt(3x² - 2x + 1) dx started showing up and suddenly I wished I hadn't started just throwing past mathematical knowledge out willy-nilly.

I can still tell my Fluvals from my Filstars though. Ask me about canister filters sometime.
