@marcportermagee Same experience here in tutoring a high school cousin to cope with algebra. He would always grab his calculator and just keep punching things until the coach told him he got it right. First thing I had to do was tell him to put the calculator down. Deep breath. Solution strategy?
@marcportermagee Every kid is not a math kid! Most kids don't have an interest in math and don't have the aptitude. A small percentage have the math gene and eat it up without any coaching. Like telling a duck how to swim. They just want to learn more about math. Naturally. Fundamental difference
@shoptemu Help! I cannot log in and shop. My email address is correct but in order to change my password I have to receive a code and a phone number that I don't have and I cannot access.
Is there some way to get my phone number corrected? Thank you
The National Retail Federation says they oppose the FCC’s call center proposal.
The FCC’s proposal would require operators to speak English and disclose the country they’re located in while onshoring call center jobs.
They say this will cost overseas jobs.
What do you think ?
@WCJB20 I don't support it at all because I always stop when the life turns green to look for people running the red light in the intersection. Wait until it's safe to proceed
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.
@MarcGoldwein@asymmetricinfo Something is amiss here. At year 30 it shows a payment of $300,000, with interest of $160,000, and a balance of zero. The principal and interest payments have to add up to the total payment

5 years ago today @NatureMedicine published the proximal origin paper which misled me and many others into thinking a lab leak was implausible. The authors privately thought the opposite. We were deceived, betrayed and lied to. Unforgivable.
