The Dumb Decision Theory

I see some explicit irony in the fact that a professor cant decide who to pick to hold a presentation about the decision making processes. So since, I don't have internet right now anyway, I might as well make the post-sketch.

So while he is figuring this small issue out I guess I might just as well take care of the blog. I recently started watching the big bang theory. The plot is cheesy, however it's funny enough too watch, despite the horrible laughing-background-noises. I mean seriously, they should at least take the effort and record some new laughter sounds. As a engineer and geek, I also can relate to the issues and brought up topics quite well. Interesting enough though - I often feel like "nooo this is wrong, physics doesn't work this way!". Also the series causes me to start reading about quantum physics just for the hell of it (also watch Battle star galactica).

Goddammit now they are arguing about the definition of a word that describes decision process classification types. Why did I ask why he calls a photo a descriptive model for decision processes - now I was stuck in a discussion if a photo can be a decision making process model or is a model overall.

Talking about decisions, the series has the mean downside of mocking the engineer for not having a P.H.D. and just being a master, which is sorta offensive towards me (less offensive then the fact that he is a perverted, failing, womanizer due to some reason). I do envy though the friendship that is going on in the series. While, I do have some geeky friends with similar interests, somehow they are either far far away or we never manage to get together, because only some want to hang out with other, know each other or even like each other. Which is sorta sad, the environment shown in the series, is pretty neat.

Aaaand here we go again, "but if we're in Wismar, you cant sell a million of bread chunks, so the formula is a parable". This guy always has to argue during the last minutes of a lecture? Classic, though he's sorta right, the break even point model is overly simplified it cant be ever a linear function and we're not in bachelor anymore to oversimplify things, especially consideri... Oh cool, this guy is playing torchlight 2 in front of me - I really gotta get this game.

I also find it very fitting that the most (IQ-wise) clever character of the series is displayed as a OCDing, crazy something. It seems like sanity is a common price for intelligence, either that or happiness. Crazy enough, this is more of an observation, then a emo-thing, since I can't complain about most things right now. Now I just wish deciding upon a new tablet (I still weep for my old one) would be easier, since I still havnt learned anything about a proper decision making process, since the time was spent on discussions on the decision what criteria is most important for a decision making algorithm...

Oh finally it's over, now I just have to pick where I'm going to eat today...
