Somewhat similar to what happened to my grandpa. Technically wasn't drafted, he had buddy in the draft office gave him a heads up that'd it'd be a very good idea for him to enlist soon. He ended up as a supply officer in Okinawa and got to take my grandma with him. Good thing too (and largely why it happened), the man's eyesight is/was awful. He would've almost certainly been a dead man had he ever lost his glasses in combat

Nah they're totally right, there's never been a monarchy that's ended without killing the entire family. Except for all the ones that have.

Alto , 11 months ago to news in College students are still struggling with basic math. Professors blame the pandemic

There's a weird amount of accepted anti intellectualism that specifically applied to math, and I've never understood it.

Most people have a hard time grasping concepts as simple as compounding interests, which is an incredibly important concept if you want to either save money or not go into ridiculous amounts of credit card debt. You use algebra every single day, doing thing as simple as shopping. People just don't realize it.

Most subjects also don't build off of the last class anywhere near to the same degree as math. You have a shitty teacher in geography, that's not really going to be putting you at anywhere near as much of a disadvantage when you take world history.

I played the shit out of Blacklight: Retribution back in the day, and saw the whole transition from zombie studios to buildblock to hardsuit labs. The devs were really active on various forums, and all seemed like great people.

I've been waiting so long for them to release something new, but this sort of game was a complete departure from anything they worked on (as the main dev) in the past. I'm not shocked that it didn't worked out.

I'm a firm believer that a not insignificant portion of people had one or two really shit math teachers at some point, decided that they're bad at math because of it, and then proceeded to just give up. Very often it was specifically related to fractions.

The math professors at my uni were fantastic, and I saw many friends who always thought they were bad at math have lightbulb moments where something finally clicks.

I can't speak to whether it's the case in this specific instance, but it's quite common for politicians to just happen to get donations from entities tied to these sorts of projects soon before or after they get the go ahead
