We have several times experienced having to change the electronic board. It cost more than buying a new washer. The electronics does many many options, almost none of which we care about. I would just like a button or dial, and just press g

You are absolutely right. It was a great book to hand to a 21 year old me. I've often read the hate on this site for this book. At least for me, I find the discussions and analogies to help me in thinking about, and eventually understa

It seems not to be entirely obvious to the students in my classroom. Today second day of the semester, job one is to explain that they need to have a notebook. They need to write in the notebook. And they need to do the homework in the note

I'll note though that it is locked. Anytime I find something super interesting in a SE forum, it has been declared off-topic.

This is interesting, and I have not heard it before. Thanks. But I'm not really interested in WB so much. I'm more interested in his claims about investing. I understand him to say that he has done well over decades, better than t

Depends on the time scale. Several hundred million?

Does anyone know of a forum that discusses making this kind of thing? I am making some illustrations and struggling with questions such as a good range of colors that display well both on a computer screen and on a beamer. It'd be grea

I often check out the LaTeX subreddit and I perceive the number of posts are down, even with a pretty recent new mod, who was doing a good job.

Our kids were born in the 80s. That happened to them. No one around to play with

Screens are an issue, for sure. But kids stopped going out before computer and phone screens became common.

Serious question: you don't see a dilemma in kicking out those who seem problematic? I absolutely hear you that a parent wants the best for their kid. But historically declaring that some students are an issue has been a frought road.

When I was a kid, secondhand smoke was everywhere. Now it is rare. If people learn, things can change.

I ran an open service for more than a decade. The world is filled with people who do things that are bad and cannot be understood.

I remember with 100 percent clarity doing great in sophomore high school math. I loved it and I went on to get a PhD. Then my mom passed and I got a box of stuff with my name on it from her house. It included my report card. C.

Ditto. Libraries and bookstores can be an issue.

I'd be very interested to hear more about Dr Giavant. I teach and I'm always looking to hear what works for folks.

Might it bump against privacy? If you do a search on third graders receiving speech services in towns of pop less than 3000 in county... at some point you have private information.

I'll add that even for developers or power users, very few are in that category for more than a couple of areas. There are some things I know about but that leaves 99 percent of my box where I'm relying on others.

I also have found that often the answers that make me reflect the most on SO are treated this way by the mods. Does this effect have a name?
