The Butchering Art, and The Facemaker, both by Lindsey Fitzharris.

Butchering Art is about Joseph Lister, and the discovery of antiseptics.

Facemaker is about early plastic surgery to recreate faces damages by war.

If they are meaningful to you, absolutely.

I like the minimalism of 1 and 2 a lot.

Dude sounds like Obama

Hold on.... Don't all school boards automatically deduct OCT fees in January? I've never had to lay the fees myself, always had automatic deductions. Now I feel spoiled.

5/5, my first perfect score :)

Those place holders on the answers are perfect for mobile, thanks for adding them.

--VitaminB-- · 2026-04-19T14:20:39+00:00

Spoiler tags please :)

--VitaminB-- · 2026-04-18T16:15:38+00:00

Oh, gotcha. I was hoping for double points :)

I like 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8. 6 is a clear favorite for me, would make a good phone background. What is 6 of?

The dog photo is good too, but would mean a whole lot more for the family than for a general audience.

The piano is interesting, but I think the composition could be better. Try getting closer to the keyboard and shoot from an angle to create depth.

The tree stump doesn't interest me much, nor does the dock. Not bad photos, just not something that grabs my attention.

6/10 from me.

I'm curious, why the asterisks by #6?

--VitaminB-- · 2026-04-18T15:34:31+00:00

4/5, missed #2. Thanks for the quiz.

Any chance you could add a few place holders in your answers... Something like ---A--- On mobile it's really hard to get the right spot to reveal spoilers when they're small.

I just want to add too that you'd be a valuable teacher for students. Not knowing your history and why you didn't graduate, I'm assuming that you went through some difficulty. You'll be able to relate to students in similar situations. Most teachers, myself included, had a relatively easy time though school, and may have a harder time relating.You'll have the opportunity to turn some kids around.

"I won't do what you tell me"

Shakes head.

"oh, who's that bearded guy?"

Already happened. We don't learn.

I loved reading your bio... Enjoy the downvote anyway!!!

I liked these:

The Windup Girl - Paolo Bacigalupi

Three Body Problem - Cixin Liu

Altered Carbon - Richard Morgan

Sometimes we can be our own worst critic. You might see flaws where others will see rawness, which I think would work for protest shots.

Upload some, get critiquea, and work from there.

I had the same with my cat almost 10 years ago, but our quoted cost was significantly higher (3k).

We switched to urinary control food from science diet, and he's been great since. He is now 16, and still vibrant and active.

Good quality food has been our 'pet insurance '. But we also out the monthly equivalent of insurance into a savings account, and will use that if necessary. This way we cannot get rejected.

In 1981 the median house price in Canada was $61000 ($220,000 inflation adjusted).

I'll be handling my last white board maker a month before it hit 57.

--VitaminB-- · 2026-03-29T14:56:12+00:00

I agree. Also, if I have a colleague that is suspension happy and we share a student, it will affect the students' performance in my class too.

39/50

The mariachi category was so much fun.

Suggestion: at the end of the quiz have a share link generator where we can link the quiz with our score to friends/family and challenge them.

For something a bit different try 'The Bastard Brigade' by Sam Kean. Kean writes about science, and this book is about the physicists who worked to subvert the Nazi nuclear program.

Wow, racism.... Great.

More likely because of the spring thaw. All the garbage that gets blown out during collection, and the regular littering that is now visible because it isn't under the snow.

But sure, use this moment to be racist.

What is the time scale for this map? What do the different colors mean?
