Took her five years to do. OMG It seems like one of those jobs where you finish, and have to go back and start over because things have changed.

Blue skies and beautiful here all day. Getting ready to put some chix thighs on the grill.

Not a very intelligent decision under the present circumstances.

Sounds like it.

@jon-nyc said in Your money's worth?: The problem is we have started to believe our euphemisms “good schools” and “bad schools”, as if it had something to do with the physical plant. What we really mean by those phrases are “collection of good students” and “collection of bad students” (at least in aggregate). Lucas’ High School was ranked in the top 20% in the country. A mile away is another public HS ranked in the top 10%. A mile in another direction is a public HS ranking in the bottom third. The three schools almost make a perfect triangle and are a 10 minute drive away from each other. The same district, same budgets, same curriculum, same teacher pool. There’s a lot to your observation.

Happened not long after the birth control pill.

@jon-nyc said in Chappelle's speech at his high school: Is it published anywhere without a paywall? Ask George to give you his Netflix login…

@Catseye3 said in Q About Pea Protein Powder: Have you eaten it? Do you like it? What does it taste like? Goog has conflicting opinions. Does adding fruit mask any nasty flavor? Thanks! Okay I spoke with my spouse who in the past six months or so, has become more or less vegetarian in her diet. By itself she finds pea protein powder too grainy in texture. She therefore mixes it with coconut milk or pureed cooked spinach. She mixed a glass of the former for me to try. It was actually quite palatable and tasty.

In the 90s after my mom got AOL she would print out emails we would send and answer them by hand and snail mail.

We could have fun with this. Leave notes hinting at all kinds of crimes….

@taiwan_girl somewhere, I read that that kind of thinking was part of the development and design of the interstate highway system here in the US.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Who controls the past...: We went a few times just this year, so, 7 year difference. Funny thing: We tried to eat at the restaurant there, which has an entrance in the gift shop. The hostess informed us that although there were tables available—off-peak time and part of the season—only those with a reservation could use that entrance. We'd have to walk all the way around to the side entrance instead. I said, "so you're telling me there's a separate but equal entrance at the restaurant at Mt. Vernon? I'm pretty sure I just went on a tour telling me that kind of thing was no longer okay." I could've pushed it farther I guess but didn't. Wow. What the actual fuck? When I was there we just walked in and got a table. It was late morning of the day that I met you guys in Virginia. could use that entrance There's at least one snarky comment I could make about that kind of shit, but I won't, because I'm on my 2nd (cheap and large) Scotch of the night, and I don't want to cast aspersions on the Nobel Prize winner...

@Mik I read it. The culture of the military will determine what is and what is not acceptable. As well, you can be rest assured there will be a lot left to an individual CO’s discretion as to how his or her regiment presents itself. Above all else, practical considerations and individual Regimental traditions will govern, not pop culture.
