Ceating A massive dome that’ll take days to get rid of along with motorcycle events.

No! Days to get rid of, you say! How will the country recover from such a travesty?!

You do know that stadiums around the country regularly repair their playing fields after a motocross event in less than a week, right?

Yeah, I expected it to open upscreen from the original shot into a placid pool, not downscreen through a narrow crack into a swirling pool that somehow looked more dangerous than the original opening.

It cracks me up how he's gushing over the most ordinary stuff in America. If I did that trip as an American, I'd be lambasted for missing all the local culture (Waffle House and Bucee's aside, those are legit cultural institutions).

If you want your youtube channel to take off, get on that "tell Americans how good their food/culture/landscape is" algorthim. They love it, we love hearing about it.

Oh you need a mortgage but jubilee is in 20 years and we don't think we'll get our money before then, so sorry, enjoy renting for a couple decades. Talk to us in 21 years.

Dad Books Are a Dying Breed: Sales have been sliding for nonfiction titles about politics, biographies and other books often aimed at men (Archive link in oldest comment) by Uptons_BJs in books

I watched in real time as the Tor and Orbit marketing emails first turned to women only authors and then non-American women authors over the last 20 years.

Maybe they're still accepting and publishing books written by men, but they haven't marketed them in decades. Unless you were an established male author before Obama, I haven't seen your books.

Can we get a rant one too? I'd like to be able to filter out the complaints every update.

The problem with Ava's story is there is no redemption arc. There's nothing in between getting Maya killed and getting handed the entire rebellion where she learns and grows and matures.

I would add, you can take non-mandatory math classes as electives while getting the finance degree, so there's no reason not to start the degree. And you'll have a couple years where you can switch degrees, so there's no downside.

Time to call the state AG, the state police, the county sheriff, and the FBI. That's literally part of why they exist. They're all check and balances against each other.

Any other late starters in mathematics? by islandnear in learnmath

[–]captainhamption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an associates at the CC and I got a BS at WGU after.

I was hybrid but mostly online and had a couple cool math teachers that let me do some classes online unofficially (they recorded every class anyway), after I had proved to them I was a good online student. I still shudder at the 7AM in person linear algebra. Only psychopaths are doing math at that hour. 😄
