The things I wish I learned better in school are things like trig, which would be nice because I’ve developed a little interest in things like machining

I see that you’ve watched some videos, and you should definitely continue that. I teach HS physics, but I never took an actual trig class because of an administrative quirk. I thought I had this huge gap in trig but eventually I realized that there’s just not that much. You can definitely teach yourself trig!

Khan Academy is great, but the secret sauce is in really trying to understand WHY you get some of these problems wrong. If you really spend some time trying to find each mistake, and thinking about what exactly makes it a mistake, you’ll be all set.

My washing machine’s making this weird string of beeps?

Oh I got this. You have to put it into diagnostic mode, and then it will flash lights at you, giving you the error codes in binary. I’m not kidding!

For more info you can lift up the top of the machine by unscrewing some screws on the back. There are lots of screws on the back, but only three or four of them attach the top. If you lift the top up you can push the drum back and then slide your hand into the space between the drum and the frame. There’s a ziplock bag in there with the service manual, and it’ll tell you how to spin the knob to enter diagnostic mode. On my Maytag I have to spin the knob R, R, L, R, not to quick, not too slow.

I was blown away when I learned this all. I was having a problem with my clothes not drying, but still the components seemed to be working. I was getting a specific error about one component, but when I tested it it was fine. In my case the problem was where the wires from that component plugged into the control board–it was just slightly loose! So I pushed it in and everything is nominal.

Interfering like devising a wild scheme with fake electors because you’re convinced you should have won, and then encouraging your people to go fight against the peaceful transition when it becomes clear your harebrained plan isn’t working? Interfering like that?

There is going to be oversight on this decision as well, they’re just following the process. The Trumpets have 5 days to appeal and I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

Not to mention the fact that all of this person’s family are people who were strong enough to survive a miserable voyage, chained up down below. Many people didn’t survive that trip, but the ones who did obviously tended to be stronger and healthier than those who didn’t.

I’m sorry but this is simply not correct. Some people in the Israeli government in the past have agreed to a 2-state solution, but extremist Israelis kept revolting. Yitzhak Rabim was literally assassinated by an extremist Israeli for signing and supporting the Oslo accords.

Most Israelis and Arabs recognize the need for a 2 state solution, but the Israeli government is not on board right now. And whoever makes any kind of moves in that direction gets pushed out pretty quickly.

Han brought a fast gunship to the party. That counts for something!

Your question is pretty stupid, honestly, but it’s not alone.

This thread has me all kinds of confused. If you want the search to look for only exact matches, you have to put the phrase into quotations. This is really basic knowledge, but I don’t see anyone actually discussing that. If you don’t use quotations, then you’ll get lots of different variations of the keywords, instead of the exact match. That works for lots of different search engines, and even searching through documents sometimes, depending on the program/app.

Yes, killing someone for hanging a pride flag is a political act.

If you already knew how to use a computer–which is what I was referring to, then learning how to use the Internet was not that difficult. It’s the parents of those management people that had no idea. But anyone who went to school in the 80s and 90s was getting actual computer classes in school, elementary through high school. I’m a high school teacher now, and one of the things I have to do teach my 9th graders is how to use their school-issued laptops, because they don’t have computer classes the way they used to. Everyone seems to think that these kids are all computer whizzes but really all they’re familiar with is how to barely use a smartphone. If I were to ask them to save a file to their hard drive maybe 2 or 3 kids in a class of 20 would know what I meant.

I would say a higher percentage of people could do that in 1999 than now. At least in the 90s you learned how to use computers in school. These days you’re totally on your own and most people just don’t bother.

The joke is the person he’s sitting with, who is a modern day troll.

I had a really cold can of hop water and it was so so good! Lagunitas makes some, but there are other brands that probably taste similar. It was so good and so refreshing!

I cringed when one creator mentioned giving up on her degree to focus on youtube. I mean, sure she’s making bank right now. But who knows how long that’ll last.

Unlike their YT career, that degree course will probably be there in five years. It’ll be more expensive, but it’s not gone forever or anything like that. For some opportunities you really have to strike while the iron is hot. For the record, I’m a HS teacher and I’ve had the “so you want to be a YouTuber for a living” conversation with countless students over the years, including with my own child. But for someone who’s starting to get some traction, and wants to take time off of school to see where it leads them, I think it’s an understandable move.

Your edit is actually missing the biggest reason–all the energy and water it takes to raise the meat. It’s just not sustainable.

This is not a study, and those monkeys are addicted to alcohol, not masturbation. I’ve actually seen this clip before.

But I was just making fun of your comment, which was honestly pretty hilariou.

“Ideally I don’t think homework should be learning new subjects or really hard at all it should be a cake walk of whatever was learned during that day.”

As professional educators, that’s what many of us intend. In my case, many kids just don’t really practice the new stuff in class, so when they get home they think it’s new. I fixed that issue a few years ago, but it’s crazy what a hard time some kids have with pretty basic self-regulation. I don’t blame anyone in particular, it’s just tough.

They’ve done studies on a type of monkey on a Caribbean touristy Island.

Oh have they now?? 🤣🤣

I teach their children how to use math to do physics.
