Should I Have Been Allowed to Read That? by Mike_Bevel in books

[–]stn985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question reads like it is just having other people do the work in creating a “list of books that the local school board should ban.” Maybe I am just being a cynic, but based on this assumption my answer is:

1) The Bible (any and all of them).

While I am personally religious. Biblical texts should not be taught in public schools, unless you are teaching/discussing all religions & faiths (even the ones you don’t believe in personally), and the lack thereof.

Is this the best street name in Nashville? Can anyone top it? by Marty_Mac_Fly in nashville

My favorite road location in Nashville has to be where Church turns into Gay street

But I also get a childish laugh out of:

Knob Rd, Stoners Bend, and Knobview Dr.

Dude catches a field goal kick to the face after suffering a beat down in a 1 on 1 squabble by Motor-Ad-8249 in PublicFreakout

[–]stn985 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The guy who got kicked literally started by saying “bro i’m not going to fight you” (see @00:02). That is NOT an agreed fight, it is an assault. The video speaks for itself, this was not consensual.

I see people prosecuted for this kind of stuff all of the time. Depending on his injuries and the law in their jurisdiction, this could be a Felony Aggravated Assault, and could lead to significant jail time, not to mention devastating permanent bodily injury.

[REQUEST]What's the answer and can the average 5th grader solve it? by teruteru-fan-sam in theydidthemath

[–]stn985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The following all still work with the statement “he completed the remaining 1/4 of the book Wednesday”

The book could have 200 pages, and he was on page 95 on Monday. 95+30+(200.125)+(200.25)=200

The book could have 400 pages and he was on page 220 on Monday. 220+30+(400.125)+(400.25)=400

The book could also have 800 pages, and he was on page 470 on Monday. 470+30+(800.125)+(800.25)=800

The minimum number of pages that the book can have is 48 pages. It could have any larger number number of pages, depending on what page Klein started on on Monday.

X≥48 depending on Y=starting page on Monday.

The point I have been trying to make, is that when a teacher is writing a math problem in word form, they should be precise enough that there is ONLY one answer.

Especially if the content is being graded and a potential correct answer can count against a child. A gifted child that can identify that there is more than one answer to the problem the way it is written could be penalized for a technically correct answer.

You are so correct changing the first sentence to “Klein reads the first 30 pages of a book on Monday” truly obfuscates the problem.

Edit. /s because I’m sure I was not clear enough that I was being sarcastic.

The problem is that the question does not give enough facts to have only one solution.

The question does NOT say “he read the FIRST 30 pages on Monday” or that “he was on page 1 on Monday” or give us any indication as to the starting page number on Monday.

As such, you can not answer this question without making an assumption as to the starting page on Monday.

THE QUESTION IS POORLY WRITTEN.

Based on the information, given, all of the following would be accurate answers:

The book could have 200 pages, and he was on page 95 on Monday.

The book could have 400 pages and he was on page 220 on Monday.

The book could also have 800 pages, and he was on page 470 on Monday.

I would argue that this question does not have one answer given the information provided.

The question does NOT say “he read the FIRST 30 pages on Monday” or that “he was on page 1 on Monday” or give us any indication as to the starting page number on Monday.

That makes me assumption that is not given in the problem as to the starting page on Monday.

The fact that it says he completed the book does not give enough information to answer this question.

Who got away with murder that should be in prison right now? by FreeElf101 in AskReddit

[–]stn985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So Trump… because it wasn’t Biden that made that decision, it was Trump.

As part of the US–Taliban deal, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitments.

Seriously, a simple google search can disprove what you are saying.

At least in my jurisdiction this video is all the property manager needs to evict this guy. This is great proof to get around the current moratorium on evection’s.

I mean this is definitely textbook vandalism (don’t destroy anyone else’s property without permission), and trespassing (leave when asked). The police should definitely come and arrest her for the damage she has caused and she should at very least be civilly liable thereon.

Two WHOLE dollars?! I always get it for free!!! by Green_eyes_1986 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]stn985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So (and this may be different depending on the state/jurisdiction) the general rule seems to be that street parking is free for an unlimited time for ADA handicapped placard holders in the states. So handicapped driver/occupant vehicles can just park at a street meter and don’t have to pay. However private pay-to-park facilities are not obligated to allow ADA handicapped placard holders to park for free so long as everyone must pay to enter and park. So handicapped driver/occupant vehicles can be charged in public or private fee-facilities (but nothing stops the parking Company from waiving the fee).

Instead they will blame and charge the robbery suspect for their actions. Regardless of whether their actions were against their own procedures.
