@Jolly said in Born of Desperation: Some districts start at $29k/yr. I'm pretty sure we pay our interns more than that.

Ah, I see. click to show If we perform the operation on parities, we can see that all numbers turn even after at most 4 steps. If we consider symmetry/rotation, these two sequences cover all possible cases. EOEE OOEE EOEO OOOO EEEE EOOO OEEO OEOE OOOO EEEE How to continue from here? Well, once all numbers are even, we consider the parity of all numbers divided by two. By the same argument, we'll only get numbers divisible by 4 after the next round. Then only numbers divisible by 8. Since all numbers are <=100, we must eventually end up with 0 0 0 0, since these are the only numbers that are divisible by any number.

@taiwan_girl said in Need a trim, fellas?: . 60 baht for a haircut (about USD$1.75) and additional 20 baht (USD$0.66) for a hair washing. Add that to the price of a plane ticket and an overnight hotel, it might still be cheaper than Bill Clinton's some haircuts.

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.

@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.
