I'll plug The University of Texas, specifically the Natural Sciences and Liberal Arts colleges (COLA and CONS). This is because they used to be the same college, and as such have loads of slots for elective courses and often you&#x27

The English colonized, ruled, and conducted a deliberate genocide against the Irish people. It's pretty analogous. The English starved them to death. The English forcibly displaced them. The English stole their resources. The English e

I disagree completely with the implication of last paragraph. For one thing, if an employee has only busywork to do, that is the fault of the elites running the company, not the employee. To jump from "managers don't know how to a

You say this, but on the other hand, the author alleges that the places that use these custom tools achieve better outcomes. You didn't address this point one way or the other. Do you think this is a completely fabricated non-explanati

These single-subject tests don't matter. I'm tired of hearing about them. IF any of these tests actually matters, it is the ones that test problem solving, not specific subjects. Like this one https://hechingerreport.or

Yeah the Twinkly stuff is crazy. I bought some for my wife, who is a major Christmas decor-head, a couple years back. She throws those things on the tree, uses the app to do the mapping, and the animations are really impressive. Very much l

Yeah, although honestly you're paying for the art created by John Kascht. The story is compelling but very, very short. I bought it in hardback right when it came out. I think I read the story in about five minutes.

Indeed, being able to click on a variable in code and get a panel on the right that lists every occurrence of the variable including the definition is such an improvement over how it used to be. That feature alone makes GH2024 superior. I
