A different perspective - my grandparents grew up speaking French. Then the state passed a law saying only English in schools when they were young children. They would get hit on the hands with rulers for speaking French.
This was of course passed down to my parents and myself. But my mom still bitches about kids where I currently live being in school and unable to speak English because they’re new immigrants.
She doesn’t see the hypocrisy and it’s sad.
Bro…I’m an engineer who has had their fair share of math, science, and electronics/circuits/electrical engineering-specific types of classes.
I hated this thing…is it brilliant in a billion ways I couldn’t begin to explain? Absolutely. But was it a new method of torture for those whose heads can’t wrap their brains around it in ways that those like you seemingly can? Yes…very much yes.
That being said, I tip my hat to you and know that I am very jealous. Congrats, we need those like you and the contributions that come with it, so thank you. :)
Thanks for the rec, I have not read it. It sounds like something I would enjoy, so I’ll check it out!
9/11 enabled so much of this to be fast-tracked. Thanks, Patriot Act.
Very helpful, thanks again :)
Thank you! I didn’t know about this.
Please tell me what you added to configure this.
My god I wish there was an option to just not show shorts. Why that’s so difficult is beyond me.
Relevant username!
Alligators…not sure if that’s considered “common” or not. We don’t see them on a regular basis depending on your activities. If you fish/kayak a lot, you’ll see them. If you don’t, you generally won’t unless there’s a drought. Then they’ll be in intersections or in your parking lot at work looking for water.
You sound kind of amazing.
2015:
Like other Republicans, Paul would repeal Obamacare, partially privatize Social Security, move Medicare to a " premium support" system for future retirees, and block-grant Medicaid and food stamps. But he’s also proposed budget cuts of 20 percent or more to NASA, the National Institutes of Health, the FDA, and the EPA — and cuts of 60 percent or more to the National Science Foundation, State Department, and Interior Department, among many others. Plus he’s proposed eliminating the Departments of Energy and Education entirely. “It’s the most detailed expression of what a libertarian approach to budgeting would look like to date,” Matthews writes.
Off to a great start!
This is the correct answer.
Same (wrt that last part). Trying to find one that works but it’s honestly exhausting after years of seeing them all be pretty much the same. And I can’t really articulate what it is that would make it be the one for me. I know I’m not helping in any way here, lol
Thank you for taking the time to point this out.
Oh interesting! Whatever it is, it works (for me at least)!
Oh! Also RevitaLash. It’s more expensive, but I was desperate so I got a few different brands just in case and still alternate. It worked on my eyelashes, too (sadly that’s just bad genes - never had long ones). This morning I just did a little trim with some small scissors, and I’m happy with that. It really was odd to find something that worked as advertised. I wish your wife happy, crazy, out of control eyebrows! :)
I’ve tried some of the eyebrow gel stuff (The Ordinary, o7) that promises to regrow lost brows, and it’s been surprisingly effective. You just have to use it regularly for a few weeks.
I went from my SO commenting on my lack of eyebrows multiple times and my mom asking me if I had an eyebrow pencil…to my mom telling me to do something about my “out of control bushy eyebrows”.
I was pleasantly surprised.
To me it says “you’re allergic to me lol”
Happy cake day!
