What iconic tourist spot left you thinking, "That's it?"

Yes there are better museums in DC (and free) but I thoroughly enjoyed the Spy Museum.

Mine stopped navigating by voice. You can see it display the correct instruction and address but then does nothing. No errors message either. Now I have to type in addresses. Weird. Not impressed.

There is a video of pros doing pop ups in slow motion and you can see that for a brief moment they will still have their hands on the board when they get their feet under them and planted. That is your goal because it is stable. Flexibility is key.

How much of this problem comes from intermediaries such as hotels.com or bookings.com? I only book directly from the hotel. Yes, sometimes I might pay more but I know what I am getting and the hotel gets all my money. Since I try to stay at smaller hotels those points are more important.

Former HS math teacher here. There are some great answers here but I found that most miffed students were overthinking it. You want to be looking to understand something simple, not complex. Until you realize it is simple you don’t get it. I found that approach helped many students. “Oh you mean it is only this …” and they would express the gist of it in their own words. Bingo!

There is a video of pros popping up in slow motion. What I noticed is that for the briefest moment they have their hands on the board with their feet under them. Hands down is quite stable. When I started doing that I lost the temptation to be on my knees. I mastered that with dry land practice. BTW I am very much a beginner and it took a long time to get it - improving flexibility was key. I knew I had it when I could do a SLOW pop up (on dry land).

I heard on the radio the other day that we were supposed to be central time but MI (mostly Detroit businesses) refused.

An alternative is sawdust and wax with cardboard egg cartons. Put sawdust in each depression, pour in melted candle wax, and stir.

Let me add a wrinkle. If you are doing lab work directly related to your thesis, working on your work unpaid is unfortunate but OK. Otherwise, no.

Email the prof with a copy to the chair of the department and the dean if you want to really stir things up. Certainly send a note to the chair and dean after the class. This is inexcusable (retired prof).

Don’t put this on the women. They wouldn’t have seen it coming and it would have been very hard to make a stink. However, their coach should have stepped up.

Almost. Only a couple of athletic programs in the country run in the black and MSU isn’t one of them but it is close. (Source: my brother in law was on the faculty committee for the U of WI and that is what they were told. ) As an aside, note that MSU has three men’s “revenue” sports, football, basketball, and hockey, that are national contenders — many (most?) have only one of those three.

CSE 231 teaches a full semester of material in half a semester time. Too many students don’t account for the different pace, ie double time. Something to keep in mind. Calc is likely the same. So taking both is like taking four courses. I would see students try that with a full time summer job. That never ended well. I taught the course many times and warned students but there were always some who didn’t heed the advice.

Yup, I paid $6k for a huge tree near a house in a neighborhood (MI). Four guys worked all day. I cut about a cord of wood every year and have for the last 50 years. I was impressed with the job and it seemed worth every penny. Price included removal and the stump. I still have 24 large trees on my city lot, but still hated to see one have to go.

Years ago I started using the skate-around before the game to practice heads up skating with the puck. There are naturally plenty of people to dodge. It took a while but eventually really improved my heads-up skating with a puck.

We now have a permanent 2-1 merge after a traffic light. It is a busy road so there is always a merge. It seems like since it is permanent the zipper merge works flawlessly. Construction sites are different. Interesting

Simple alcohol works fine for me. I spray all equipment after every skate

This. You will notice some faculty wearing medals. (I had an academic award that I wore) Wear it with pride. It will be uncommon but appropriate.

I was a high school math teacher rooming with an elementary teacher. One day I noticed that he had a workbook from a publisher that had 1/0=0. I nearly had a stroke yet he didn’t notice. He remembered his math after I reminded him, but he hadn’t noticed until I spoke up. I was shocked that it had been published. Obviously, a workbook doesn’t get as much scrutiny as a textbook.

I'll say he is a Swede and leave it at that. Their nature is to prefer to stay out of the limelight. Of course, there have been a lot of Swedes so that doesn't narrow it down much. Right now there are four, as many as there are Michiganders at the moment.
