I spent a few nights in a straw bale home, wanting to experience what they were like. They are incredibly quiet. Each bale is 1.5 ft of soundproofing/insulation. The loudest part of the house was the clock ticking. The house was heated by appliances such as the refrigerator and water heater. A local monastery built several to rent out for people wanting a tranquil contemplation.
I keep one until the battery dies. Then I replace the battery with a second rechargeable lithium and a new watch band. By the next time the next battery goes dead, the case is shot, too. Make absolutely sure that you follow the battery replacement directions carefully, reading the directions fully BEFORE attempting it. There are very tiny parts that can drop out and easily lost.
I have a little nicer watch. Accurate to the second and water-resistant to 100 m. My OCD is smiling, inside.
He had it coming, and he fell on my knife nine times.
My class is different. They have to qualify, and have to ask to get in. When they leave, they are giants who can mike drop things that 99% of adults cannot do. (And they have a blast, while learning.) If it isn’t fun, they are not going to learn. The secrets to herding cats is either a string or a laser light.
“I would like to talk to a lawyer before answering any questions” is my magic phrase. It is fairly easy to remember.
Musk has a string of businesses that he buys, starts to run, and then drives them into the ground. Buying a business that is already driven into the ground is a new one,
I run out of spoons long before I run out of knives. I want to stretch my spoon supply to last a full day.
These are advanced common core students. I wanted them to experience that they can choose variables to make sense for them. I also needed to introduce a third dimension to their math equations. We have played with Pi before, so that irrational is not new.
Pizza is loved, and I wanted to campaign for the vast superiority of Chicago Deep Dish. It is to bait them, it has vegetables… ewe… But they could see that more pizza might be a great advancement in the history of pizza. The pneumonic of PiZZa being the greatest equation in the world was too good to pass up. And Pi day was coming up.
The kids got pizza as a reward, so it was a complete win in their minds.
You are right about area should be A, instead of height, and radius should not be Z, either, but I improvised and made it the Z axis.
I will be happier if they remember their math, and carry that on to their next generation.
I have been teaching my 4th grade students their first actual equation that also is the greatest equation of the world universe. The secret parts are that the height is A, and the distance from the center to the edge is Z.
The greatest equation is that the actual volume of pizza that you get in any pizza is equal to…PI x ZZ x A. They ate it up.
My partner and I have separate bathrooms. It saves bottlenecks and conflicts, and is worth it to us, even in our small house. We keep our own rooms clean, enforcing the “I am an adult” rule, you make a mess, you clean it up. Piss splash is gross to clean up. I don’t make an extra mess if I do not need to.
You make that sound like a bad thing.
And I just jumped on one square to get it over with. If I survived, I could win, otherwise I could start a new game right away. Doh!
“UsethisQRcodeforthedefaultpassword” My new password, thx.
I was never really a child. It was hardwired into me. Life is far better now.
-40°C and -40°F is where I take the kiddos outside with a cup of boiling water and let them make snow.
I have lived in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Iowa. We get the northern winds from Alberta. It sometimes gets kinda cold, Aay
A study that sticks in my mind is that negative comments outweigh positive comments in how they are felt by the receivers. What is perceived as balanced is a ratio of one negative comment to five positive comments. Do downvotes have the same weight as comments? IDK, but I without the feedback of comments, there isn’t much to base anything on. I get attacked in droves if I comment about anything Russian. We clearly do not see events through the same lens.
