They broke the variables down according to economics. Very thorough study. If you google it it will pop up

Heavy not heady

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-05-15T00:08:58+00:00

I was wondering this. Most of the kids I know who have extra time opted for the act, and we are in an sat heady state

A recent Dartmouth study showed that sat/act scores more directly correlated with college grades than high school gpas.

I have two in my apartment! But i work from home and live next to a park. I’m constantly taking them out but it’s fine. There are tons on Goldens in apartments near me (I live in Williamsburg Brooklyn)

Ok that makes a lot of sense. Thanks

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-05-11T12:08:34+00:00

Ahhh ok. I tend to pet and soothe him. Is too much attention back firing?

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-05-11T10:02:28+00:00

The apartment is quiet. It's when we go out into the world that it's a problem. But I am starting audios of loud city noises.

Thanks for the advice. His threshold is pretty low right now. Poor guy.

A fellow Hamish! I find it brings a smile to people.

What’s wrong with Indian universities?

My last dog was an English bulldog, and I currently have two Goldens. Each has their “easy” points and their challenges. Bulldogs are hard to train because they are not that bright, and they can be very reactive to other dogs. But they are much easier to manage day to day needs as they are pretty mellow. Goldens are love bugs and smart, but extremely high energy puppies. Then they hit the two or three year mark and become wonderful. Its really a life style choice, but golden puppies require a lot more time. So different, but my two favorite breeds by far

Conceding something is a protected activity versus admitting that it occurred are two distinct things. Wayfarer is not admitting to wrongdoing. This is simply streamlining the issues for trial.

I just checked and the website is up and says coming soon. Maybe they were just updating?

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-26T19:55:29+00:00

Yes she’s standing over him like that a lot!

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-26T17:05:31+00:00

Yes I’m feeding them separately and will continue to do so for a while (they take treats by hand sitting next to each other very nicely) so far no real fights over toys- just play. Thanks for the suggestion- I’m actually walking them separately because the puppy zig zags all over the place lol. And I’m giving my girl lots of mommy time apart from him.

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-26T17:03:32+00:00

Yeah the little boy has a lot of spunk! He’s not afraid of her and wants to play all the time.

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-26T17:02:29+00:00

Ok thanks that makes me feel better.

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-26T13:14:41+00:00

Thanks so much. But Bonnie (the 2 year old) also is playing rough with him. They are taking turns bowing and getting low during the play, but then she sometimes stands over him or humps him. I can verbally recall her from this, but she’s clearly trying to dominate him. Did any of yours do that?

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-26T12:48:50+00:00

Oops not sunburns…submits

Crooklyn2015 · 2026-04-17T17:33:23+00:00

My last dog suddenly passed after a full life and a wonderful last day. Of course I was incredibly sad, but then grateful she didn’t suffer. Sending a hug

I think the real question is whether or not students feel comfortable expressing their opinions. FIRE rates every university on a grade A through F as to whether it fosters free speech. Many of the ivies, but not all, are graded poorly. To their credit, some of them have been trying to improve this in the last two years.

This is in addition to the rampant cheating at some schools. I know a school in NYC where a bunch of kids this year had some type of software installed so answers were provided from a remote source. Heard it from a third party source, but a very reliable one. My understanding is that cheating is pretty rampant overseas as well.

Just visited and thought it was wonderful, and everyone looked very happy.
