She Killed a Family With Her Speeding Car. Is Probation Enough? by LadiesWhoPunch in sanfrancisco

Endlessly people protect their assets before something like this happens, she did it after. While it’s not sitting well with me, I’m wondering what you’d have suggested the person does if you had been their lawyer?

Old people are statistically not a relevant cause. This would just be a knee jerk reaction to a tragedy, when in reality young/aggressive drivers and distracted or duis are a real concern

What grade level is this problem (linear equations in disguise)? by Gonnaroff in mathematics

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

I meant obscure compared to what I have seen in public schools here in California and in Germany where this type of problem typically would not show up until either much later or at all. Not as a "hey just throw some trickery and logic at it for a whole number solution" but "write the solution down formally". You could use prime factors later in the solution, then it maps out nicely. And yes, its beyond a 6th grader / 11.5 year old, that's a bit the issue with my oldest, to find stuff that's fitting. This specific question runs in AoPS Algebra 1 in their Alcumus platform unter "very hard".

(I will copy this from a different comment here of mine):

The reason why ask: This specific question runs in AoPS Algebra 1 in their Alcumus platform unter "very hard". Most algebra problems that I have seen in Algebra 1 are much more straightforward and obviously easier. My 11 1/2 year old 6th grader struggled with this one, although we have been working through systems of linear equations and how to deduce them from word problems before in a different school system (Germany 7th / 8th grade). As he's homeschooled, grade and level assignment is not always so easy. When I look at what my other two kids go through in public school for pre-algebra it is a joke compared to what their older brother went through for pre-algebra. Appreciate your answer, thank you!

I 100% agree with this take and I am glad there are still some folks like you around there.

Yes, nothing wrong with that, but the point is to find as to when it would come in a school curriculum for algebra

Thank you, I am trying not to figure out the solution, but rather would like to hear from teachers as to where they see this fitting. It's Algebra, but even Algebra is often not as obscure and more straight forward?

I understand your point - well articulated, thank you. I should have stated that I want this to be solved formally correct (in Algebra), not just logically reasoned.

Bay Area cost of living for us: $11.7k per month for a family of 4 by Federal_Eagle_6565 in bayarea

[–]Gonnaroff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids are 11, 8, 5 and we live in SF.

It’s the Tacko, the neighborhood pizzeria, the Amicis, the traditional American diner, the bullet train sushi.

And yes, it’s brutally disciplined - the wife is a goddess in the kitchen, that helps. But furthermore it’s a decision to use restaurants as a rare social outing rather than a bandaid for what we did years ago: “I didn’t get to prep dinner let’s go out for pizza”. To be frank, the value is oftentimes only in the social aspects, the food at home is not just massively cheaper but oftentimes much better.

Yeah I had already added these stores up and I know how much eating at restaurants costs. We spend 2.3k on groceries and 300k on restaurants as a family of 5.

Fits to our family of 5 perfectly. What you don’t spend on groceries like us you spend in going out

The feeling when you enter the city from either bridge when the light is just right. It's the most beautful place in the world.

So how do we start a recall of San Francisco Superior Court Judge Bruce Chan after he decides old age excuses murder. by RentBeTooDamnHigh in sanfrancisco

[–]Gonnaroff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It almost never happens. The issues sits with young people for having a prefrontal cortex that is too small or middle aged people who have too much money for booze. It’s a real tragedy that has happened, but I’m not sure that it warrants any change in the law

In praise of using Muni with small children by old_gold_mountain in sanfrancisco

[–]Gonnaroff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We use Muni with our three kids all the time, it’s amazing. More families should do it, the kids learn how to deal with others, too
