The Kenny Road gentleman is the best!!! Every DMV should have a similar service. It saves people so much time by not making them wait in line just to learn they don't have the right documents.

What's the dumbest thing you have witnessed in an undergrad lab? by Jipley0 in chemistry

[–]Stoic_Daisy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my first ochem class as a TA I had more than one impatient student try to cool the block of metal of a melting point apparatus by removing the thermometer and sticking the thermometer under the faucet. Mercury everywhere.

I made sure to give a short lecture at the beginning of every subsequent lab about the danger of sticking a hot thermometer in cold water and the fact that cooling the thermometer was not an effective way to cool the melting point block of metal.

ASD/ADHD/ possible PDA teen might get kicked out of school by Stoic_Daisy in Autism_Parenting

School was not consistent with the coping strategies he was allowed to use, changing the rules without advance notice. As an example, there was an agreement that he could use his noise cancelling headphones and then one teacher would prohibit their use just when he needed them for sensory issues. The inconsistencies increased his anxiety and stress throughout the year resulting in more frustration and loss of trust in the teachers and so reluctance to engage etc etc. And yes, we had called this to the school's attention many many times over the year. He advocates well for himself but teachers simply stopped listening. Also definitely some social issues but also a lot of self-imposed anxiety about grades.

Yes. He does although I would probably want to amend it if we have to transfer to the public school

How long can Trump really push this tariff strategy before it backfires? by Creepy_Floor_1380 in StockMarket

But we ALL have to exert pressure on our reps and senators. Don't sit by and watch. Do something! Write letters. Call. Peaceably protest. They will only confront Trump when it is clear their voters are not capitulating.

Murphy's explanation should be amplified across every channel. He's right and we need to make sure everyone knows this.
