that's interesting, because for the small amount of exposure I have had to common core math that has been pushed federally was actually the opposite. it seems to eschew the simpler methods to "just get the right answer" in fa

Does this take into account the high maintenance cost and running costs of an MRI? my understanding is that they have to run 24x7x365.

I have found that the bad smell is usually a result of water sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher. and I think it may be due to water dripping off all the dishes after it has finished draining. I try to remember to push the drain button

I have a CO sensor for an arduino that I haven't used yet that cost a few dollars. I haven't noticed in the manual any mention of expiration.

The old economist joke is that if you really want to prevent crashes, don't put airbags and seat belts, put a spear on the steering wheel pointing right into the driver's face.

I'm sure you'll be able to put a piece of tape over the sensor port.

This is a perfect example of a market failure where you need some government intervention because the general public is not great at assessing risk level, or even knowing about some risks. If companies could sell generators with a big stick

That's for a whole unit with batteries and some other components. I'm not sure if that means that the sensor itself only lasts 5-7 years.

Do you have data to indicate that companies are not doing raises or bonuses? or is this your opinion based on anecdotes? We don't spend a lot more than a few years ago. Mortgage is fixed and we work from home so we don't drive muc

ya, in socal, many of the homes that burn during an event, that aren't right in the path of a major fire, get embers into an exterior vent or they leave the garage door open, or they have a clay tile roof where embers are able to get u

I'm curious why there is so much focus on the magnetic levitation. Wouldn't the most important, and easiest test be to shunt a bunch of current through it and measure the resistance?

the fact that fatal car crashes are so common is precisely why you don't hear much about them on national news. But most local and regional news stations tend to cover car accidents rather often, if not daily in areas with lots of traf

I think it could also help experienced doctors who may be a bit stuck in their way of thinking and any doctor trying to diagnose rarer diseases and disorders. so many medical issues seem to have overlapping or identical symptoms so it would

The only reason this would be a hail Mary would be if you have a cynical (and correct) view of the conservative majority of the supreme court that they are willing to completely debase themselves and the law in order to get a desired outcom

My point is that NPR is only left-leaning in comparison to other US outlets. But they are centrist to right leaning from a political science perspective. And I certainly don't call everything I dislike extremist. For example, does anyo

Yes, I think there might be something to that. Just recently my wife was watching an episode of the new Kardashians show. She made a comment like, "they are so pretty it's almost annoying" and I reminded her that this is TV m

This is true, but not the whole story. You do have to have some form of ID when you register to vote. But not necessarily a photo ID. A utility bill or something similar to verify that you live where you say you live. Then they match SSN an

Well, there is a big difference between using TikTok and voting. You have a constitutional right to vote. And for good, real world reasons, many supreme court cases have been fought over all the obstacles that have been put in place for vot

Curious, if the Metaverse is so great, why don't they just let those employees come to the virtual office in the Metaverse instead?

My grandfather grew up in a rural area that didn't have electricity or running water until he was a teenager. He would occasionally mention little tips and tricks to how they used to deal with not having some amenities. Many were simpl

I guess that depends on your definition of b-list celebrities. For me, b-list would include people like Bill Maher or Andy Samberg. Both of which I have seen out in public and no one bothered them beyond the occasional "hi". Both
