Although not true, I give this a pass for being a Nirvana lyric.

Right. Is it 10 figures? 7 figures?

… 5 figures?

Isn’t this how Donnie Darko started?

It did at least draw me to the comments section to see the chatter, but no, I pretty much expected what you quoted.

I guess it’s open enough to interpretation to be misleading. Do readers think she was worried the kid was going after them next? Do they think she was worried one more of the students would come after her?

“The way our policies, procedures [and] training have been designed and implemented for many years have not had the voices of black people involved in the design, the implementation, of those practices. And as a consequence of that, we get disproportionate outcomes in places where there shouldn’t be disproportionate outcomes.

I was curious about specific examples of institutional racism so I started scouring the main report: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmselect/cmhaff/139/13911.htm

I didn’t dig very deep yet, but so far I found that the forces had been trying to train away individual unconscious biases in response to the Macpherson report, and watered down the process in favor of other priorities. (See paragraphs 505 and 506).

None of them.

Well… Not on purpose. I could totally see someone blurting the gossip in the school cafeteria.

She’s a high school teacher. I’m gonna guess the students figured it out first.

That’s the mean (average), not the median (middle).

Median is the one where half the numbers are smaller and half are bigger. If only the top income changes, the median stays the same. The mean goes up.

This kills the universe.

Well I guess these aren’t sex stones.

What is a sex stone, you may ask?

It’s a fucking rock.

Wyatt was pulled to safety by a team from the Grand Canyon National Park, who rappelled down a cliff after deciding a helicopter rescue would not be possible due to the terrain.

If this were a plot point in a movie, I would have called it a contrived excuse to have the heroes scale a rock wall.

Obligatory xkcd

I get the reasoning for excluding wine and beer, but flour?

The video is TL;DW for me right now, but there’s a comment on the video which is fascinating enough on its own to pique my interest:

Back in 1997, a nasty October storm knocked down some power lines near my home. One of our dogs ended up getting her back legs paralyzed after going outside and had to be put down. We thought she stepped on a downed line, but after seeing your demonstration with the Hulk Hogan figure, I think I have a better understanding of what happened. Just going near the downed line would have been enough to do the damage.

In very rare cases (nuclear fusion) the water is destroyed into its primitive elements

Simple electrolysis will split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.

Nuclear reactions will change the atoms, but you don’t have to go that far to break down water.

That’s a really good illustration of scale. The last time i saw a demo like this it used 3D rendered cubes. There’s something wonderful about using an actual, physical medium for this.

Well… at least no one was hurt.

Removing or even refactoring old code can be very therapeutic.

That’s because these programmers are getting paid by the character.

This is also why Java dev pays so well.
