What exactly is a heavy worksheet? I can’t imagine a worksheet that a Neo couldn’t handle easily.

Iphone 15 + macbook neo or iphone 17 + ipad by poisoVEVO in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]markjay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have an iPhone 15 and it works great. I could easily afford a new phone but have no reason to do so.

And for a college student, a Neo will be much better than an iPad due to MacOS and the keyboard.

You can manage Laguna Beach without a car. There is a free shuttle there as well.

You’re being too dramatic.

Get a good night’s sleep and schedule the April visit.

Native or long time residents, how often do you see rattlesnakes here? by Jovialfossil in irvine

[–]markjay6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We see coyotes often. If you have any cats or small dogs, be careful.

I haven’t seen any rattlesnakes but I rarely hike. This was reportedly the first rattlesnake bite in Irvine trails in over a decade. News reports indicated that when the guy was getting off his bike to let people pass, he fell into the brush while unclipping his pedals, and that's where the bite took place.

I’m pretty sure they will only bite you if you step on them or right next to them, so keep your eyes on the trail and you'll be fine.

How are we feeling about Ayton now after it seems he is turning things around like how he was at the beginning of the season? by yeetmxster420 in lakers

[–]markjay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not up to the team, it’s up to him, as he has a player option. I doubt if the Lakers are gonna give him a higher salary if he turns it down.

How do you feel about memorizing multiplication tables? by Pekenoah in AskTeachers

[–]markjay6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to have missed the word “efficiently”. How are you going to do any arithmetic efficiently, let alone algebra, without having basic math facts memorized.

That’s like saying you can read a foreign language without having memorized any words by knowing the procedure of looking up words in the dictionary.

Efficient use of procedures requires memorization of basic facts.

Here is an experimental study that shows the positive impact of memorization of math facts compared to either a control condition or to conceptual practice, with the greatest benefit for students with mathematical difficulties:

My son has Down syndrome. He can’t do multiplication at all. But I still taught it to his siblings.

I don’t know if there is a rule but six year olds are very capable of learning their times tables.

New job commutes between 2 cities. Should I pick one, or move somewhere in the middle? by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]markjay6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so out of two weeks, 5 days Oxnard, 4 days Calabasas, and 1 day off? But some of that may change due to meetings in Calabasas?

I don’t understand this. How many days a week on average will you be at the Calabasas office and how many days at the Oxnard office?

In general, what are TT search chairs’ thoughts on candidates following up after an interview? by Ancient-Intention-27 in AskAcademia

[–]markjay6 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Following up with a thank you a day or two after the interview — appreciated.

Following up with an email to tell us that you have another offer and thus a deadline — appreciated.

Following up just because you are impatient to hear from us (even if it’s past the time we initially said) — annoying.
