I am astounded that people think that you must work for free. This is illegal for good reason. The most valuable commodity that we have is our time. It is limited for every person. My time is as valuable to me as her time is to her.
Serious question to up voters. How do you defend a privileged person demanding that time be given for free? Do you not value yourself?
As much as I liked Visual Studio, its privacy intrusiveness was my final straw.
I keep one until the battery dies. Then I replace the battery with a second rechargeable lithium and a new watch band. By the next time the next battery goes dead, the case is shot, too. Make absolutely sure that you follow the battery replacement directions carefully, reading the directions fully BEFORE attempting it. There are very tiny parts that can drop out and easily lost.
I have a little nicer watch. Accurate to the second and water-resistant to 100 m. My OCD is smiling, inside.
My class is different. They have to qualify, and have to ask to get in. When they leave, they are giants who can mike drop things that 99% of adults cannot do. (And they have a blast, while learning.) If it isn’t fun, they are not going to learn. The secrets to herding cats is either a string or a laser light.
These are advanced common core students. I wanted them to experience that they can choose variables to make sense for them. I also needed to introduce a third dimension to their math equations. We have played with Pi before, so that irrational is not new.
Pizza is loved, and I wanted to campaign for the vast superiority of Chicago Deep Dish. It is to bait them, it has vegetables… ewe… But they could see that more pizza might be a great advancement in the history of pizza. The pneumonic of PiZZa being the greatest equation in the world was too good to pass up. And Pi day was coming up.
The kids got pizza as a reward, so it was a complete win in their minds.
You are right about area should be A, instead of height, and radius should not be Z, either, but I improvised and made it the Z axis.
I will be happier if they remember their math, and carry that on to their next generation.
I have been teaching my 4th grade students their first actual equation that also is the greatest equation of the world universe. The secret parts are that the height is A, and the distance from the center to the edge is Z.
The greatest equation is that the actual volume of pizza that you get in any pizza is equal to…PI x ZZ x A. They ate it up.
Silly MedPiggy, Tax breaks are for Billionaires.
I wonder what other uses there are to sell data that is not for advertising? My second thought goes to what is in place to stop a middleman from saying that they would not sell information for advertising purposes, but selling the data for “quality control of data acquisition” purposes. If you are getting a service for free, you are the product.
I still remember that happening when the pandemic first was ramping up. Blue states purchased masks for essential personnel, while Trump sent people to confiscate the supplies to give to Red states donors for resale. Shipments had to be masked for supplies to get to hospitals in the wrong states. Republicans are doubling down on the war on blue.
“UsethisQRcodeforthedefaultpassword” My new password, thx.
I grew up when polio was a scourge. A relative was an anti-vaxxer, and one of her children was not given the Salk vaccine. Her child lived his life in braces, and over his lifetime, literally had millions of dollars spent on trying to minimize the damage from that one ignorant choice. Their family was bankrupted, and the entire family lived in poverty from that point on, spending every penny that they could, trying to undo the damage. There is a true cost of not getting vaccinated, but double-blind meta study has not shown any cost tied to getting vaccinated for covid, for the general population.
Check for yourself.
The issue is more complex than what is printed. There are shortages of workers at restaurants/bars and slaughter facilities. We need these children to get to work. /$
McCarthy is a fund-raising machine. His sights are aimed at taking out a gang of 8 MAGA extremists.
I’d go with that when I’m gone. Just plant a tree over me.
No matter what happens with Trump, the present GOP is planning to seize and consolidate power.
Have any of your blood relatives had any diseases that have a genetic component? Cancer? Heart disease? Yeah, we don’t cover that, it’s as clear as day, in the fine print, on page 13,131 of indexed addendum information. Additionally, you knowingly had this information from a DNA test, which constitutes fraud, making your policy null and void. Thank you for your business.
If this were some fiction plot, Copilot reasoned the plot twist, and ran with it. Instead of the butler, the writer did it. To the computer, these are about the same.
