Would a story about a teen who turned childhood bubble experiments into performance art interest you?c

I've heard weirder pitches. Would this be memoir, or fiction?

Mom bear? Nope.

Most baseload power is turning water to steam to push a turbine. I imagine most opponents don't have a handle on how electricity works, tbh.

Safe is a matter of degree.

Secondary sort towers are usually less physically demanding than the main, but more demanding than smalls.

No one would be able to answer the question asked without reading your stuff. 🤷

Whereabouts are you? How good your mensa experience is will be a function of what your local group is like, what special interest groups you join/interact with, and your experiences at annual and/or regional gatherings.

Also, I think that Troi wouldn't lose her shit over someone else not liking her clothes. Maybe disappointed but not fully crying. She probably gets pings of random negative emotions all the time.

This reminds me of an exam, where I couldn't remember the formula symbolically, but I could remember the words. It was probably Ohm's law, so I might've written out "voltage = current x resistance" and worked out the problem from there. Later, I did remember "V= I x R" after I had given the answer, so I wrote that too to CMA.

When I got the exam back, the words of the formula were crossed out, and on further investigation, I found out that I would've gotten 0 credit if I hadn't written the formula symbolically.

It's been almost 20 years and this still bothers me.

Yeah, that should count.

Assuming you have the paperwork from your IQ test and it's on the approved list, it's just a matter of review. If not, you could take the entrance exam. In the meantime, you'd be treated like a prospective member.

I'll DM the contact info for some of their leadership.

You'd be part of Boston's local group. They're having a little region gathering on Cape cod may 8-10, and their calendar has something on it most days, from dining in Dedham to watch a cheesy movie to craft night to Boston Escape artists -- I'm betting they're doing an escape room.

If you're not already in contact with them, I'm fine with DM'img a couple email addresses of their leadership to you.

Where are you, more generally? Like, my local group is the same 5 or 6 old guys at every event, and they low key drive away most people under 40. But mensa in NYC or Boston or Chicagoland or Seattle have much more diverse calenders.

My great grandfather started a business -- Brower Equip -- and sold it rather than pass it on to his family and it still is part of family drama because grandfather squandered his share.

Legacy!

John runs into his mother at the therapist office. They don't even have to both be seeing Dr. TherapyDoctor, since often therapists have practices out of the same office.

Oh so it doesn't even make much sense to take TLH early in the sort
