I hear those are all over San Antonio.

Tom Scott looks good in a 90’s shirt and tie.

What?

You’ve tried to use Excel as a database too, huh?

Sadly the original Jesus was destroyed by an act of God.

As someone also measured as gifted and put in gifted classes, there was an interesting discussion that I had with one of the teachers about how the views for approaching gifted education was changing.

For a lot of schools, the “gifted” students are gifts; you don’t have to spend time on their education and they may end up helping the classes they are in. So, it is ok to treat them like normal kids and they won’t become a problem.

However, studies have shown that to be really bad for the “gifted” students. You get a lot of underperforming students who don’t engage with the material as it is mentally underwhelming. Soft skills that they were supposed to learn were never developed because they never had to. You even had issues with developing social skills as the distance in standard deviations between gifted and normal children are the same as between a normal kid and a “special education” kid.

The findings were showing you had to treat the “gifted” students with the same care as those in “special education” as the common teaching techniques don’t work, issues are much more varied between children, and being able to lean on talent in some cases leads to skills not being learned because they never needed to be.

Sounds like you were kept with the normal kids.

Bring able to do those sorts of problems isn’t important.

Having the logic solving ability to do those sorts of problems is.

their budgets are SO extremely deep and large. And this cap? This cap is the best they could come up with?

You’re assuming that there was an expensive program to replace the entire bottling line and redesign the bottles in order to meet the EU regulation while achieving satisfactory user experience.

What likely happened is that the engineers in charge of the cap design were told to change as little as possible and came up with a design that only required changing the cap moulds. Everything else got to stay the same, saving the company’s budget for other things

Also in geotechnical engineering.

You haven’t been around really dirty dirt.

Some sports are profitable. A lot of sports aren’t.

A lot of the sports programs go back to a time when universities acted more like finishing schools for the wealthy and intelligent. It was thought that sports, especially team sports, were a good way to teach the soft skills of being a leader.

Nah. There are cases where it stops being about upholding their values and more cheering on one side over another even if what they support is against their values.

Yep.

A major problem that people don’t understand with college is that it is far more willing to let you fail compared to high school. A lot of young adults aren’t used to dealing in a environment that doesn’t provide immediate negative feedback on failure or non-performance. They hit one hiccup, can’t come back from it, then spiral out until they flunk out.

And BnL approved.

But they get weird then they go old and limp.

There were just so many levels to bingo.

Just don’t ask for too much soup.

I would have upgraded if they didn’t include the UI changes. I don’t know why Microsoft keeps trying to make these big UI changes given that they have a built-in audience of power users that have optimized since XP.

They saw greatness and reached out to it. They were just staring at the sun.

Tankies are “The Soviet Union did nothing wrong in Czechoslovakia in 1968” kinds of people, who are the opposite of NCD.
