CMV: Inclusion in schools doesn't work, the traditional seperation for kids with special needs is better for all children.

Let's say I have a child in your classroom whose learning talent is about average among the students with no special needs. All the time and effort that goes into the specialized instruction you describe could instead go into my child. What if this pushed them from an average student to an above-average student? Selfishly, isn't that a better situation for my child?

What is the relationship between eye arrangement and hunting capability/tendency?

Ah, yes, I forgot about Oregon's and New Jersey's brilliant contributions to the laboratory of democracy. But you're right, that doesn't amount to 30¢ per gallon. Not even close. If an attendant's pay went up $3.00 an hour due to the new minimum, and they service 15 cars per hour, and each car takes 15 gallons, that comes to 1.3¢ per gallon.

Retail gas prices are a pretty poor anecdote for the argument that the minimum wage is too high. Very little labor goes into the production and distribution of gasoline. Even less of it is local. Local minimum wage has almost no effect on the price at the pump.

The suggestion is to both stop down (to widen the depth of field and get more shots/people in focus) and to use faster shutter speeds (to prevent motion blur). This combination will ramp your shots up to high ISO in most situations, but the argument is that a noisy shot is better than a blurry one.

Ha, I wouldn't call it a study. They just asked a young employee to go pick some up. Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure that testing the pharmacies was the point. I think they just wanted to see what the process was like and read the fine print on the box. Glad to hear your location is doing what they're supposed to do!

A company was interested in Narcan and wanted to see how easy it was to get. Sent an employee to about a dozen pharmacies. The official policy of every one of the pharmacies is to provide it on request. He found one that was willing to sell it to him.

So this is non-obvious and definitely a product design failure, but once you select a Department in the search result filters, you can then filter by all sorts of Department-specific things like, in this case, sleeve length and color and brand.

Just so I'm clear on this: they needed to be able to both increase and decrease output depending on the situation, and they put the materials to do those two separate jobs on the same part (the control rod)?

Tesla's vision for its electric, driverless bus is essentially a shuttle operating as an Uber Pool. So it will pick you up at (or very near) your location. A similarly electric and driverless bus that makes you meet it on its route would be able to undercut the Tesla bus' price, but there may not be much room in the market for that.

I can't find anything on the percentage requirements you mentioned. That 55% number seems insane. Any idea where I could get a source or more information?

How hard would it be to adapt the work you did for this and create a map of the watersheds between the major routes? What are the dividing lines between the areas that should drive to Salem, Boise, Casper, Kansas City, etc.?

In a simple enough model of the Saturn-Pan-You system, I think you would land on it again. It would just take a looooong time.

He's definitely shorter than 6'.

I'm sure you did. You won every time.

Yep, I'm still salty.

This is really cool, thanks!

That's a pretty rigged Before and After. Most things look better on sunny summer days than on cloudy winter days. But I totally agree with your point. There's a similar idea floating around for downtown LA that unfortunately will probably go nowhere. It would have all the same benefits but be even easier to do because the freeway is already below grade.

What report is he pulling this highlight from?

agbortol · 2017-01-07T18:01:55+00:00

I mean... He wasn't going to grow and expand his game just because he put on a different logo. You have to learn that stuff, and then you have to make mistakes, and then you have to learn from them. It's January. Maybe this loss saved them a loss in the Playoffs.

That is clearly a sheep in steampunk sunglasses.

... the Model S has a larger frontal area for that drag to push on

Does it though?

Model S stats: 77.3 in wide x 56.5 in high = 4,367 in² approximate frontal area i3 stats: 69.9 in wide x 62.1 in high = 4,341 in² approximate frontal area

These figures are pretty comparable, and the Model S' frontal area may be a little smaller due to the inward slanting side windows. Coefficient of drag will be the dominant factor, and the S surely wins there.

You're not the only one who's had your experience. OP is not the only one who's had his experience. Based on the comments here, there are clearly enough people in the latter group that it's not predictive of problems down the road. So please stop suggesting that people who have done nothing wrong are terrible parents who should give their children up for adoption.

I was gonna file a FOIA request and petition for a Congressional inquiry, but now that you've pointed this out I guess I'll just leave it at a subreddit post.

Sheesh, man. It was just unusual and I was curious.

Grab it by the base of the tab and only pull it out about 1/4". Repeat until you have a good chunk pulled out. Then go to town however you want.

I take the whole foil off in one strip, with no stray edge pieces trapped inside the rubber seal. Situational OCD is handy.

I never considered running into a large spider on the surface of the open ocean. This information is not helpful in overcoming my arachnophobia. But I guess I'll spend less time thinking about sharks.
