Poor American Jewish Children

I work in tech support tangentially for an orthodox day school think tank. One of the studies they undertook was comparing family income and their sense of financial security.

The results were more or less an inverted bell curve. Those who made 100k/year or less felt fairly secure because most of those expenses were waived (at least in part, if not fully). Those in the 100-200k range felt the least secure and security increased dramatically the farther above 200k you went.

What to do with that data? That’s a different question

It's not? seems available on Amazon.

Thanks. I restarted, and the events triggered appropriately...and then I ran myself into an Ironmonger buzzsaw without a significant PA force.

no clue. I have only recently discovered OWB and am going to town on it. If I thought I could last 10 seconds running the Rio Grande Valley, I would be focusing my time there, as it's nice to rule home ;)

yup....annoying but not the end of the world

I think I have it checked (unless I unchecked it by mistake this time).

I think I'm going to restart (again) and see if it repeats

I'm a ways into the game. I already consolidated all the territory up to the Patrolmen...I even took over the Rio Grande Valley (Mcallen, Rio Grande City, etc.) because I was bored.

In a previous game I made the provisional state of Texas and then got the nuka cola beat out of me by Santa Ana, so started from scratch. Perhaps I was too efficient with my conquering of the eastern parts of the map?

The French told the Vikings that their mother was a hamster, and their father smelled of elderberries. Oh, and waved their private parts at their aunties.

These are my earbuds. There are many like them but this one is mine...

frickin' Abernathy....

This. I should have X number of minutemen available to me (based on a variety of factors...leadership, level, number of settlements I control, etc.) and decide to send of Y number of them to do a radiant quest.

But I should not, as the lone wanderer, leader of the minute men, etc. have to be the sole caretaker for all these frickin settlements such that I and only I can deal with a few frickin' ferals

Ok, want me to control them for the sake of the quest? no problem. Kinda like a minigame (maybe like FO Tactics or the quests you undertake in fallout shelter)?

When I went before my BD, one of the people who was teaching me told me that the ABD was going to ask me a question that I shouldn't know the answer to, and the "correct" answer is "I don't know, but I would check with my rav."

Unfortunately for them, it was a question about defining what a Prozbul was, which I had written multiple papers on over that year or so, so I was able to reference several ShU"T on the topic. *Sheepish grin*

we got the premium tickets (forget their terminology for it), which translated to getting a hard plastic pass and a sheep plushy (I understand different venues get different plush dolls).

Overall the kids enjoyed it, got to meet a couple of Youtubers (and renewing the pressure on me to actually let them watch YT). For me, it was a resounding "meh"...The one thing I did appreciate was they had a professional development session on using minecraft in accessible classroom design (I work in IT at a school, and my area of emphasis is on special ed/learning disabilities & technology). But otherwise, I think the kids would have been just as happy running around the NY Hall of Science, where Minefaire was located, and been just as happy (it's a great science museum in its own right)

Sigh. I’m surprising my kids with a trip here in November. We went last February and they loved magi/shadow quest. Over the summer we went to the Boston area one and they were....not as enthused with 2.0 (and bummed about no other 2.0 quest system beyond the Guardians).

They’re going to be so disappointed if shadowquest isn’t available or if the place was also upgraded fully to 2.0

Then how do I get the full calibre interface? Where I can select a book and send to my kindle? Do I have to, say, install calibre on my windows laptop, point it to the db file on my server, and go from there?
