    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Good idea.

        Education is extremely important.

          SAT scores of the local high school is an even more refined metric.

          If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

            Insufficiently memeable. An x/tweet advocating such a reasonable metric will likely not be promoted by X/Twitter to a point where @George-K can see it, and even if @George-K sees it, he likely won't repost it here.

              Attempt to find sat scores of the school district where you live, valid within the past year or so, and get back to us about how easy it is compared to the Walgreens method.

                You used to be able to check crime stats.

                But now crimes are no longer crimes.

                And even if crimes were still crimes, there are no police around to count them.

                  Using the search string “[name of town] sat score [year]” in Google, Google returned on-point results listing the SAT scores of the local high schools on the top of search results page within a fraction of a second. Definitely easier and faster than traveling to a Walgreen. Maybe you can give it a shot using your town’s name and see what happens?

                    Thanks. It was good to see that I'm surrounded by people who are comfortably dumber than I am, but not too dumb. That's a sweet spot.
