,25/,5 x 100/100 = 25/50 = 1/2

Why was that hard?

100/100 = 1, because any number divided by itself is 1.

And any number multiplied by 1 is still that number.

TBH, I moved the decimal over 2 places on the numerator and denominator and simplified 25/50 to 1/2 because It is easier to do in my head. Some of the other paths are too complicated when I am going to sleep.

My spouse and I are registered to donate our bodies to a medical college. If we can advance medicine in even a small way, it is still a move to better life and health.

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

I have followed ‘news’ from Russian outlets such as RT and Sputnik, being recast as Right wing talking points within hours. This is not just recent, it has been going on for years. Hamilton68 documents examples. The parallels of this propaganda being sown to the lies dispensed to Ukraine to sow dissention is obvious. It is a cheap warfare, and it works. Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news. He should be labeled as such. Carlson was discredited and fired by Fox. Spreading lies, admitting to doing so on archived tapes, and iirc, sexual harassment was in his part of the discovery on Fox’s $780M settlement. In short, Tucker Carlson is on record for knowingly spreading lies, for personal monetary benefit. This is more of the same. I hope every person watches Carlson, knowing that Carlson reports what enriches him, not truth. Carlson has a transparent agenda. The unanswered question is who pays Carlson. That will be obvious by who’s boots that Carlson’s reports shine.

Putin is as far as one can get from Mandela.

Write a note to let that person know how valuable and wonderful a person that they are. Using specific examples is good. This isn’t the time for vague platitudes. I would tie any gift in with how much they have done for others, and how deserving they are.

Reuters, AP, NYT, WP, and to a small extent, Ground News. I filter for high factuality. My viewing is rated as slightly skewing left, but this is caused by so many Right sources are not credible sources. Known lies are not worth my time. My biggest gripe about Ground news is that to be balanced, I must waste time on sources that are not credible. Sadly, I can listen to RT or certain USA Right leaning politicians after a little time, and hear the same news.

I forgot FP Foreign Policy and the Economist.

Which equals 29^2 x .01 => ((28 x 30) +1) X .01
=> (840 + 1) x .01 => 8.41

28 x 30 is an easy mental calculation, as is adding 1, as is moving the decimal place over 2 places. I am teaching this to 4th graders, in two weeks. % to decimal is next week. They can square 2-digit numbers in their heads, already.

I buy copies of books that I have read, and are worth buying. More likely, I will buy an e-book copy of a book worth buying. E-Books are preferable because I can carry my library with me. But, there are the books with exquisite photos, graphs or diagrams that need the full experience. I lost a large book library in a natural disaster, over a decade ago. I won’t get caught that way again.

Edit add: I seldom read fiction. I jam too fascinated of science, architecture, gardening, programming and math. Fiction doesn’t reach me the same way. I currently am stuck in a morass of predictable-plot fiction that feels formulaic, and have not found a book that is worth reading for quite a while.

Reminds me of boxed software, too. You check the compatibility, the features that included one must-have new feature. Buy it and discover what vaporware is. It started me on the ethics of pirating, finding out if it actually works, and then, and only then, buying a real copy. I donate to developers on Linux, now.

And Bandcamp.

We provided home-schooling for two and had an immune suppressed person at our home. I added a HEPA air exchange filtration system and upgraded our furnace/AC for a second HEPA filter in our home. Now, the children are back in school, and their dad is back to the office. We are teaching at school, but remain Covid free. We had our most recent shot on Thursday. We know of more infected people this year in our circle this past two months, than the entire time before, so we are hoping for the best.

It sounds harder than it was. Our furnace was on its last leg, huge, loud, and inefficient. We made sure that our replacement could handle a heavier load that a HEPA filter would add when we bought it. The second HEPA air exchange filter was an off the shelf unit, put in the room that our immunosuppressed relative worked from. We have allergies, (not serious, but uncomfortable at certain seasons) so the HEPA upgrade seemed to just make sense. Because the new furnace was smaller, making room for a thicker filter was easy. It was an easy swap. Our heating bills went down, so the payback is relatively short.

To force people to spend more time shopping. More time means more chance for impulse buying and better sales. Basic marketing.

The Budapest Memorandums disprove your argument. Long before Russian invaded Crimea, much less Ukraine main, a peace plan with a promise to never invade was given by Russia. Russia lied.
