Right? I'd like to see a video. They must've just maintained control of the ball? Or were they actively keeping both goals?

Meh. I was working on a personal project yesterday to answer some questions I had about how liquidity risk works for money market mutual funds, and to forecast/nowcast liquidity ri…

If so, that's an even stronger reason that the shift toward "the parent is always correct" on the right is extreme and stupid. My parental rights end where the rest of the class's …

> I wish democrats would engage in this issue But teacher and admin time isn't free. People with high political media engagement have lost their damn minds and are now offended abo…

Common Core is just a set of standards. This is a bit like criticizing the API because one specific implementation of the API is garbage; you may be right, or wrong, but what you'r…

The article does mention they used a curriculum from Hillsdale College, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some general creepiness imbued into the course design. That said, I ca…

> According to the BNPL industry, fees and interest make up a small portion of their overall revenues. Whether that's wholly accurate is another story. It may also be irrelevant; I…

> dice? Or coins? The labs were about these things (and cards), and therefore gambling. We had to do purely abstract labs instead. The issue is that probability is hard to teach ev…

The issue with "Parental rights are supreme" is that there are tons of parents whose demands will make it impossible for your kid to learn much of anything. In our district, we had…

It applies to PEOPLE of all ages. The law is about public libraries, NOT public school libraries. 100.00% of FY 2022's allocation went to NON-school public libraries.

There is a clear difference between Hustler and a graphic novel that contains some sexual representations. You are employing an old and tired strategy: latching onto any lewd expre…

Someone will reply to this with a list of news articles purporting to contradict you, and all of those articles will be about controversies surrounding books available in high scho…

Then you're okay with the status quo and can ignore the ongoing moral panic about school libraries. The books that people are flipping shit about are not currently and never have b…

>>> If a parent wanted to give this book to their child at an appropriate age, that'd be fine, but just hanging out on a shelf at primary schools with very young kids seems like to…

> Are the politicians pushing for this from rural areas? Predominantly. > Seems like either they are serving their constituents, or they'll be voted out next time? It satisfies an …

The flip-side of urban areas subsidizing rural areas: rural lawmakers threatening to cut funding is something of a nothing burger.

It's Missouri, so I highly doubt the money is equally distributed among libraries. You can see where aid goes here: https://www.sos.mo.gov/library/development/stateaid/default And …

Huge caveat is that some BNPL services don't require credit checks.

I can't remember the last time I paid for groceries with anything other than a credit card. Or even saw someone else pay for groceries with plastic, which is hopefully CC or EBT si…

BNPL doesn't make much sense if you have access to typical quality credit lines. The x% cash back on groceries, plus a month of interest on deferred payment, is probably a better d…

The level of sexual activity and number of partners may be lower than people in the early 20s (btw, that's certainly not universally true). But that's only one part of the transmis…
