@StephMachado @DanMcGowan If the bills weren’t ready to send on July 19, they were already going to be too late to be paid on time. This isn’t a new problem either-I’m pretty sure I remember bills that have come on or after the due date in past years.

@wiseconnector I haven’t seen any replies that consider the possibility of using different bases for the numeral system of the answer:
1 + 4 = 5 (base 6)
2 + 5 = 12 (base 5; 5 + 2)
3 + 6 = 21 (base 4; 8 + 1 = 9)
In which case
8 + 11 = 201 (base 3; 18 + 1 = 19)

@JeffreyM_PhD For me it’s about climbing more efficiently on the ascents and having some help with balance on the descents. I only use one pole, but three points of contact are better than two.

@JeffreyM_PhD I say “Depends on the terrain.” I can’t imagine anyplace in RI where I would need one, but I use one all the time when we go on vacation in Acadia.

If his name is Dylan, I’d be surprised if Hebrew is his native tongue.

Knowing because they are a friend, or because you’re such a regular customer? The first is just a coincidence, but the second might require an intervention.

This was my Saturday night as a nerdy middle schooler.

I also loved NBC Thursday in the mid ‘80s with Cosby/Family Ties/Cheers/Night Court/Hill Street Blues.

I can’t imagine anybody watching three consecutive hours of prime time broadcast TV with today’s Balkanized media.

Carol Burnett turning 90 today (amazing) reminds me of my late mother, who used to talk about how incredible TV was on Saturday nights in the '70s.

Look at the lineup on @CBS in 1973: All in the Family, then M*A*S*H, then Mary Tyler Moore, then Bob Newhart, then Carol Burnett

@TPRHernandez1 @ThePublicsRadio My teens both got their licenses after turning 18-one during senior year in HS and one after coming home from first semester at college. Mostly they got around by biking, walking, or taking public transit (including train to Boston) from East Side PVD.

The frisbee is a terrible example, but for a projectile with minimal aerodynamic effects, the double angle formula is actually an easy way to show that the optimal launch angle is 45 degrees since distance depends on the product of sine and cosine.

I'm sure I've shared this before, but it just cracks me up every time

@CmonMattTHINK Students also often use the term “exponential” to refer to any graph that approaches the horizontal axis (such as an inverse proportion).

Good thing the house you grew up in had both within a five minute walk…

The chocolate cake at Gregg’s isn’t anything special…

I’ll go into hiding now!

We had a great time singing for the kids and everyone else. Love to support the Food Bank with our talent as well as our donations. Glad that Calvin enjoyed the music.

Looking from Rattlesnake Mountain across Willsboro Bay and Lake Champlain toward snow-capped Mount Mansfield. Couldn't ask for better weather for a vigorous hike on Thanksgiving weekend.

Never know what you’ll find at Trader Joe’s

Sunrise over Lake Champlain

[David Moss @drdavem2]

Not the hard way, I hope!

Whirlwind weekend, but good family time was definitely worth it.

[Kathleen Cornely @CornelyKathleen]

Son Geoffrey is in the last year of his program @RITtigers, so this is our last #BrickCityWeekend. Cider donuts @WickhamFarms, a victorious @RITMHKY game, dinner @rocthevesper, 5K race and brunch @Highland_Diner were some of the highlights. Great fall weather as well. Go Tigers!

[David Moss @drdavem2]

It would be even worse if there was any chance that they actually knew me!
