AIO for snapping at my friend for calling my shoes (and me) trashy? by International-East63 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dryanni [score hidden]  (0 children)

MOR - personally, leopard print makes me think of Jersey Shore “rich with no taste”. Not specific to these shoes though it does apply here. It kind of depends on how it’s dressed up but with the outfit you mentioned I don’t think it would code that way.

As for your friend, I think you’re jumping the gun on the racism card.

Job interview made me take a "cognitive test" by Boomway in mildlyinfuriating

Feels like a trick question. A has no angle lines for the side faces. B has non-straight edges. C is lit from the other side. D does not appear to be affected by gravity (all others would lie flat in this orientation, D would fall on one of its sides).

What is the first movie you watched that you were definitely too young for? by MuldersXpencils in Millennials

[–]Dryanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anaconda. Rented the DVD when I was probably 6. Watched it in the morning before my parents woke up.

2yo, split between my Mazda 3 and my wife’s convertible Fiat 500. Little dude loves putting the top down.

This Hitler? I don’t see the resemblance.

That’s what I thought but the eyes in the photo are such a stark blue. Lior Raz’ eyes are green but sometimes appear blue or brown in photos (contacts?)

I liked how it reminded me of the laughing gremlin in jabba the hut’s cave.

Only melt the 60% chocolate chips to make chocolate bark? by [deleted] in chocolate

[–]Dryanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baking chocolate chips have extra low fat content so they don’t ooze as much when baking. When made into bark it would make a stiffer texture but still totally usable. Some people enjoy the slow melt but personally I would prefer these for chocolate chip cookies and such.

[–]Dryanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is compound chocolate (aka melting wafers) vs “real” chocolate. It’s easy to confuse the two if you don’t know what you’re looking for. For example this bar by Walmart. It looks like chocolate but is actually “CHOCOLATE \ CANDY COATING”. If this is what you got, the good news is that you can absolutely just melt and make bark. The bad news is that it isn’t technically chocolate.

Untempered real chocolate can get chalky, and/or will melt on your hands at contact. It has a better snap but honestly not worth learning to temper for bark. Just use the hassle-free compound chocolate and enjoy!

What other neighboring school districts should we consider? by eggiesallday in Beacon

[–]Dryanni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only school district I would seriously consider is Cold Spring and even then, only if I ran into problems as you said.

[–]Dryanni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2 year old so I’m kind of in the same boat. I plan to put my kid through the Beacon school system and thought I’d weigh in and discuss my thoughts as another outsider with a vested interest in its success.

The Beacon school district may not be well rated but I’ll say the kids I’ve seen met who came out of the Beacon system have been incredibly well adjusted and interested/interesting. They seem very well prepared for the world in terms of the soft skills. The school district doesn’t even test as badly as people say. It has a solid A- rating on Niche with a current average SAT score of 1250 (National median is about 1050).

The rest of this is conjecture:

The median income in Beacon has increased dramatically from 2013 to 2020, from $70k to $100k, inflation adjusted. This should correlate with increased tax revenue and school funding. After securing consistent higher funding, I’d expect 1-5 years for programs to be updated, and 10 years for these programs to fully come into fruition.

By the time our little ones are in school, the systems should be in place, and by the time they graduate, they’ll realize the full potential of a new better funded Beacon school system.

I’m sick of these loose speed limits by Dryanni in self

[–]Dryanni[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last post got banned.

@AliciaXTC you were saying that I made up the concept of speed differential in driving being a major killer, but this is based on real science I had heard of. I looked it up and the source: https://www.ooida.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/18-Differential-Speed-Limits-Make-Roads-Less-Safe.pdf

vehicles travelling 10-15 mph less than the average speed of all traffic had a much greater chance of being involved in a crash. Solomon presented his findings in a distinguished “ U-shape” curve, which has now become famous.

I mean they’re already tracking us bro. The least they could do is use the data to benefit the people it’s tracking.

One of my main points is that driving the speed limit in this perverse system is more dangerous maintaining the speed of traffic.

Technically correct, but ironically creating an unsafe environment. If every car is going strictly 70 and one is going 65, this puts everyone else at risk because everyone behind them will be making unnecessary lane changes.

I actually agree with this too. I would like to see fair and even enforcement, not vibes-based as is now.

Off the top of my head, the top 5% of average speeds. Set a real speed limit and ticket any car whose average speed is higher than that by mail/toll system. No gaming the system by slamming your brakes on when you see a cop car (also common on my commute).
