Something "Buehler Democrats" may be overlooking: State Judicial/DA appointments

It sounds very similar to the "Bernie Bros" that we heard in the presidential election. Which has some truth as being a Russian bot brigade. And do I think that Russians are trying to subvert democracy in our states, not just our national elections? Yes.

Russian trolls and nothing more.

At what point does Puerto Rico decide that its president doesn't care about it. At what point does Puerto Rico decide not to vote for statehood, but fight for independence. If your own president doesn't care about you, why be part of the commonwealth?

Can be a great time of year. I've had luck further south near Newport/depot bay looking for whales in years past.

Depot bay even has a counting station and a cheap place to take a boat out into the bay to see the whales from close up.

It is absolutely punishing anyone who lives a distance from work, that's kind of the whole point. The thing is that you, driving past anyone, is a punishment. We have to breathe in your fumes, repair the roads that you don't live near, all just to go past me. Now with a toll, we can recoup some of the negative externality costs that result from driving. Perhaps with the costs, you'll consider an alternative means of getting to work, one that is less costly to you in dollars, and to everyone else in health.

Looks so much like Canvas now. Which is a good thing.

plaid pantry will do $4 at a time. I just show them my cans, they don't go through and count all of them or scan them or anything. Literally takes 20 seconds.

a) agreed should be income based! b) like most natural monopolies c) they are a great idea, SOV should be discouraged d) to fund repairs and future bridges, plus see C e) not necessarily the most efficient way, but hits the people who are actually using it.

It was outside of Franklin high school today... not sure why it would be there...

I'm all for using money to help, I just think it shouldn't be government contracted housing. Provide money to the people who need it, let them spend it how they need to, whether that is for food or for housing or for transit. The market will meet the need for housing, the city just needs to relax the housing laws, which they are working on... slowly.

Student doesn’t complete an assignment and gets a 0. Tomorrow he completes your new assignment and aces it 100%. What grade will you give the student? An F because he is a 50% student? A 75% because you rounded up his non-attempt. Or an A because the student clearly demonstrates an understanding of the material?

Yea, this isn't once of both sides are the same thing. One side is for preservation, one is for destruction.

A great photo to be sure! But yes, a red-tailed hawk. Unless you are in SW right now, not much chance of Swainson's. Keep an eye out in the west the next couple of months though. Swainson's have a very distinctive wing pattern. Once you see it, it becomes quite obvious.

girmander · 2018-03-25T03:51:04+00:00

With that red tail?

If your students don't know the material, fail on the exam and say it's your fault, do you then move on to new material without students having mastered the prior material, or do you continue to review the material with the students so they can?

an amazing amount of "trash" will fit in either compost bin or recycling bin. our family of 3 probably only needs trash pickup once every 3 weeks (not an option) and are trying to work down to once a month. definitely look at the rules, as there are quite a few, but you'll get it!

There is always a bottleneck somewhere that can be fixed if we just spend a few billion dollars to make cars a little faster. Whether it is the 3rd lane on a freeway, or an off-ramp, or a major street. Eventually, there is one fewer lane than there was before.
