This is a fundamental stumbling block in teaching programming since this is THE foundational skill in coding. Some folks' brains just do not work that way.

This is probably going to be central to the Ohio Governor's race as wall. Activating the rural C.H.U.D. swamp and the Silent Gen dying off are pretty much what caused the state to move right in the past decade. The MAGA chuds staying home election day would wreck that.

I went to CMU and had a similar shock. In my case, it felt like "oh shit, I'm going to school with Michael Jordan and can barely hang on!" It was simultaneously humbling and motivating. Knowing you belong at a high level, but also knowing you ain't The One? That was an important lesson I needed.

I just learned one of THOSE teachers for me in high school, also had roots near my Wisconsin in-laws in Merrill way back in the day. Dr. Bob Quail was already an amazing teacher, this cements it.

My dentist mother many times said it's the only part of human healthcare, where the patient's response to regular light bleeding is a shrug, and not an immediate trip to Urgent Care at minimum. A reminder that before modern dentistry, bad teeth were a top cause of death in adults.

So Trump has a FL lawyer named Alejandro Brito who is representing him in Trump's defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Brito is also 1 of 2 counsel on record for Max Miller's divorce case in Ohio. Why is an out of state lawyer for POTUS, who doesn't practice family law, repping Miller here?

So here's a question I've never heard answered: Just exactly why a kid from such a rich family would go to Shaker - a good public high school, instead of the elite east side private schools like US or Hawken that most of his peers went to? Or would none of them have him due to previous behavior?

Both me and my wife have switched each other on customer service calls. I'm basically Vanilla Jones so this is unique for me. It's something that I rarely deal with. Even well meaning CS folks cannot handle "Yes I'm Stacie and a man" and/or "I'm Michael and a woman"

It is Rachel Robinson’s 104th birthday. She is an accomplished nurse, decorated professor & is probably most recognizable as the wife of Jackie Robinson. They married before he integrated baseball. She’s a civil rights hero who was there the whole way as a stalwart in global resistance to oppression

Jackie, Rachel & a man I don’t recognize. Jackie has his Brooklyn Dodgers uni on & Rachel & the other man are well-dressed. They all pose around an automobile.

My mom here in Cleveland laughed at me and told me this is what is looked like all the time in the 50's, 60's, and 70's until the EPA kicked in. She also said it smelled way worse.

A reminder that the social compact to not speak ill of the recently dead, was out of regard for those still alive who are mourning the deceased. Those who mourn an openly evil man are not worthy of your respect.

In the grand scheme of things, it's pretty small, but holy hell does the terrible input lag on modern TVs piss me off. And while I'm at it, can we have the TV always boot up into the last input selected?? That's never happening of course because they want you to see the ads on the home screen.

English verb tenses about time changes are shit. I've been a lifelong fan of the MLB team here in Cleveland going back to my immigrant grandparents. I call the current team the Guardians, and just deal with the weird tensing aftermath.

Random thought, you can probably tell where in the Great lakes you're from by how you say the phrase "mom, the cops are on the tree lawn" Though now I think on it, only us Clevelanders call it a tree lawn.

I'm very curious about Hollywood these days. Like, why haven't we seen a movie or series about The Phantom Tollbooth? Was Norman Juster just so chill he never wanted to license the book?

So here's a question: are TSA workers in the same union as ICE/CBP? If they are, that's going to be a spicy grievance if they really do send ICE into airports to do TSA work. They'll also be scabs!!!

Oooh We could have had this! See the thing is if Paul Pena - who wrote the song "Jet Airliner" that Steve Miller made a hit - was still alive, he could have played. He became a Tuvan throat singer later in life as shown in the movie Genghis Blues. That would have been pretty cool.
