  1. So that is for two, count them two, students each year who are majoring in elementary or secondary education with the intent of teaching in Nevada. Nice example for a national program, Dante.
  2. https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2019/10/24/woman-says-roncalli-fired-her-supporting-employees-fired-over-same-sex-marriages/2387527001/ The lawsuits just keep piling up against the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
  3. Using what mechanism, Dante? "Free College" for all courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer?
  4. I like the Big Mac without the thousand island dress.. err "Special Sauce", add mayo. So texting while operating a motor vehicle is legal in Nevada?
  5. https://gizmodo.com/google-confirms-achieving-quantum-supremacy-1839288099 I for one will welcome our Quantum Computer overlords...................
  6. https://reason.com/2019/10/23/how-to-fix-the-student-loan-mess/ Agreed. We need to get the federal government out of the student loan business entirely. It's been nothing but a huge bust.
  7. The fries at BK are gross. I refuse to eat them. But the one in Frankfort doesn't have a self-service kiosk, just that stupid all-in-one coke machine.
  8. Guess we will agree to disagree. I've been in a situation where the kiosk crashed in the middle of taking my order so I had to actually, you know, talk to another human being.
  9. In my experience, not really. I can usually place my order and pay faster with a human being manning a register than I can having to navigate those self-service kiosks, especially if you deviate from their standard offerings (change condiments, ask for extra of this, minus that, etc.).
  10. From what I can dig up, no. But some very small groups of target employees have voted to unionize over the last several years. Case in point: https://gawker.com/target-which-hates-unions-gets-its-first-union-1731620945. But this is kind of a hollow victory because since that vote Target has sold it's pharmacy business to CVS.
  11. Wonder if schools with an effective zero percent chance of winning a section should even be allowed in the playoff to begin with?
  12. So competitive balance among Indiana football playing high schools should be discouraged because they are not the NFL?
  13. Seattle Public Schools Will Start Teaching That Math Is Oppressive: https://reason.com/2019/10/22/seattle-math-oppressive-cultural-woke/ The proposal has drawn fire from the right. The American Conservative's Rod Dreher referred to it derisively as "woke math," writing: That's a hyperbolic statement. But having read over the proposed framework, I have to say that it does seem fairly terrible. It's chock full of social justice jargon that sounds smart but is actually vapid. What does it mean to decode mathematical "beauty" or "identify how the development of mathematics has been erased from learning in school?" (Has it been erased? That seems like a problem for history class.) The guidance says it will "re-humanize mathematics through experiential learning" and facilitate learning "independently and interdependently." That's a fancy way of saying almost nothing at all. The guidance also includes some extremely political, simplistic talking points that might be popular among activist academics but are in reality somewhat dubious. This is verbatim from the proposal: Students will be able to "identify the inherent inequities of the standardized testing system used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color," "explain how math has been used to exploit natural resources," and "explain how math dictates economic oppression." Each of these statements are debatable, but they are not being presented as such. It would be one thing to hold a class discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of standardized testing, but what's happening here is that students are being trained to reject standardized testing due to its "inherent inequity," which is asserted as some kind of proven fact. If math is too daunting for students, a better option would be for schools to stop making it mandatory. Giving parents—and even students themselves—more choice and control over their own educational experience is always a plus, and few people actually need to understand higher mathematics to function in society. Infusing the existing math curriculum with a bunch of unfounded progressive assumptions about cultural appropriation is a silly approach.
  14. I lives in northern Michigan, but not the UP, for over 8 years. I know somewhat about winters are like.
  15. https://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htm Truth be told, I could probably lose myself here for a long while. Just not in the heat of the summer.
  16. Meh, they can just take their sleeping bags to the rubber rooms spread around the city. After all they get paid to sit in them and do nothing.
  17. Watch out DT, sounds like he is getting ready to put you on ignore, like he supposedly did me a couple of weeks ago.
  18. Agreed. I would retire to Minnesota (land of 1k lakes!) before Arizona. My spouse suggests Tennessee but even that is to hot/muggy. I'm not yet tired of snow and actual winter weather.
  19. Perhaps better endzone cameras can help better spot those "travesties of the game".
  20. "ethnically appropriate"? Do you mean what I think you mean by that phrase?
  21. Just lots of skin cancer......................
  22. He needs the Colts offensive line, not the injury prone mess (Kyle Long anyone) they have now.
