One issue might just be money. "Forcing" us to buy new laptops every 3 years has to be planned well enough in advance for the new OS and hardware to be ready, but meanwhile, it may have occurred to a lot of people that hanging ont

As I'm in my 60s, I have elderly friends and relatives who have spent time in hospitals and rehab facilities. The patient needs to have an advocate who is informed of their situation and is present when the doctor makes their brief dai

The US had alternatives to manufacturing such as the IT and finance industries. The Chinese probably saw no alternative but to boost manufacturing.

I don't know if this is exactly the same as what I learned in high school as "integration by substitution." A number of years after I finished school, I was in a new town without a job, and got hired to teach a freshman algeb

I think what happens is when people have a routine outdoor activity, they develop a sense of their local weather, that seems like a mystery if one isn't regularly immersed in it. Also, some subtle adaptations make it easier, such as we

I'm in Wisconsin, and I just got the bike with spiked tires out today. Even if there's not a lot of snow, I prefer to sacrifice one bike to road salt than have to maintain my "nice" bike through the winter. People act li

Actually, I don't think it's a huge coincidence that a lot of cities are relatively flat, because they tended to develop near larger bodies of water. Oslo is #18 on that list, not too shabby. Kathmandu is in a valley.

Indeed from what I've read, the network was originally skeptical that jazz trio made any sense in a children's animated show, but it was remarkably successful. A couple of other tunes from the show, "Skating" and "C

Aha. I'm showing my age. I didn't know there was a "Peanuts" movie. I was talking about the tune "Linus and Lucy" which was the theme for the original animated TV show "A Charlie Brown Christmas." (An

As I learned it long ago in school, elements up to the mass of iron are formed by stellar fusion. That's the point where fusion is no longer exothermic. Any element on earth that is heavier than iron is the product of a supernova. So w

I'm a musician, and something I've noticed is that children no longer recognize the "peanuts" theme song.

It was definitely a term, though perhaps not as common as "pad." I only remember that the term was familiar, well before the "tablet" became a digital device.

Thinking about it, ours was a small college -- 2500 students. So there may have been a practical reason for everybody taking the same math courses. They were taught more as "service" courses for the sciences and engineering than a

My first impression, paging through it, is that it's at a somewhat higher level than the typical college calculus course.

I'm probably dating myself, but at my college, there was one calculus course for everybody. But also, a lot of the students in those areas had overlapping or double majors. For instance I majored in math and physics. Perhaps the bigger
