  1. When my sister took the EIT (engineer in training) test, she said it was the only time she ever saw a line at the men's room and open stalls in the women's. The problem is the focus on college admissions, rather than K-12 where it should be. Kid goes to sh*t schools, then goes to uni wanting to be an engineer or whatnot, no or low SAT requirement, they can't cut it and end up either dropping ou.t or with an ethnic studies or education or some other POC degree and $200K of debt. Now the coursework has to be watered down to accommodate substandard students, and society suffers.
  2. It's not a feature, it's a result. It's like lowering the educational requirement for graduation is not feature of lowering admissions standards, it's a result.
  3. Wait, I thought you said it did not come out until after the election....
  4. After it was approved, and after he won the election and after Kamala quit saying she believed Tara Reid all of Biden's accusers, but before Biden lied and tried to take credit for developing the vaccine. Is that you Adam Schiff?
  5. Had a Mexican wrap at Texas Chicken that was great, and they are selling tater-tots now which were perfect.
  6. It is amusing that you get a smile back from most every Thai, but most every western expat either looks away or scowls.
  7. Yet the FEC looked at it and refused to prosecute. Cohen pleaded guilty to get a reduced sentence. Called them legal expenses, not legal fees. But yes, this is what I said a month ago.
  8. No, struggling to understand what it is that is not clear about it. You can select people based on merit, or on something else, not both. If you select them based on something else, the system is no longer meritocratic.
  9. Why would there be a difference between Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera Arabic? That can't be true.
  10. Then why did you ask? Do you not know what DEI means?
  11. Hey, what was everyone's? Me: First to drive: '62 Chevy II wagon First to own: '53 Ford F-100 First to wreck: '67 Ford Econoline
  12. Go to SCG and have them give you a quote.
  13. But the wheels do get all the crap from the track building up on them, and the house can settle and skew the doorframe a bit. A 2.5m long piece of aluminum extrusion will expand only about 1.15mm when the temperature increases from 20 degrees C to 40 degrees C.
  14. Hyperbole much? Freedom of the press has not been shut down. Don't hear many complaints about the US government wanting to control media access and reporting.
  15. Do you believe that Völkischer Beobachter should have been allowed to have a London office in 1940? Israel is not stopping Al Jazeera from reporting or restricting their movement in Gaza. You may be confused.
  16. It is the end of meritocracy, and when that goes, civil society goes with it.
  17. The most privileged kids in the world protesting something they know nothing about and chanting "death to America". Good job American education.
