  1. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/16/business-food/wegmans-scan-and-go-app-shoplifting/index.html In 2019, Wegmans, the cult-favorite northeastern grocery chain, rolled out a new mobile app that allowed customers to scan, bag and pay for groceries while they shopped and then skip the checkout line altogether. The app, Wegmans SCAN, promised customers a quicker checkout and also let them see a running total of their purchases as they shopped. This week, the grocer announced that it is ending the app because of ¡¡¡rampant shoplifting!!!.
  2. Why can’t you read it? the link took me right to it…is it a problem with the link?
  3. You don’t see her mental health as an emergency? So many times the advice on this board is to “put on your oxygen mask first” why is this not one of those times? she cannot afford to move independently at this moment to get closer to her kids. Moving in with family is not an option due to their relationships what if you Scarlett had to move in with your brother in order to make seeing your minor child easier? Based on what you’ve said about him, do you think maybe that would not be a good idea?
  4. Everyone pays exact amount. No one knows everyone’s financial situation…
  5. You need to find out how to either “force register” for a class or how the instructor for the next class handles adding students the first week of class. There might be different ways your kid’s college refers to these options but basically, you can do things like ask the instructor to override the limit of students or ask the instructor if you show up the first week of classes, can you be added to the class. bc sometimes students just don’t show up and instructors automatically drop them and if you don’t know that/aren’t in touch with the instructor, you’d miss an opportunity grad requirements should be in the college catalog and are often based on the year you enter the college. The best thing to do is get a copy of the catalog and/or find and print the grad requirements for the year you start.
  6. If a student is writing a paper about a topic like “3D printing” , I can understand the issue of filling an entire paragraph with facts from one source, especially since you said the section on the history of 3D is the one with all the facts from one source. To me, it sounds more like a “report” vs a paper that has a thesis that needs to be proven. I think with a different type of paper, you wouldn’t run into this problem
  7. How resilient vs fragile the kid is? What does this even mean? In one instance I know of, a girl called her parents a few weeks into 1st semester her freshman year and said come & get me. Dropped out, gave no explanation, left a full scholarship & team that she’d be heavily recruited to play for in a key role. she came home and got a job at a FF restaurant. She told people college wasn’t for her. a couple years later, she told her parents she had been raped a few days before she called them to come & get her. she was as tough as can be, not fragile at all. Nothing could keep her down.
  8. Great post. Sometimes serious mental health issues DO begin in the late teens/early 20s…schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are 2.
  9. It might have worked for you bc you have girls. AFAIK, boys seem to be much more prone to gaming addiction.
  10. My hands LOL i use a brush on a long wand (I’m not sure of its proper name?) but the most useful thing I have is a pump dispenser for the dish soap. It is so easy to get an appropriate amount with it vs tilting and squeezing the container the dish soap comes in
  11. @elegantlionsaid she had issues with citing at end of paragraph “My issue with that is students got sloppy. They'd use info from more than one source in a paragraph - they used specific sources so I knew them well- then only cite one source for the whole paragraph.” I guess that’s why I’m confused…you said you were agreeing with her but it seems you both aren’t saying the same thing.
  12. What question are you answering in your first sentence where the answer is both? I’ve lost track of what is being answered
  13. And was resuscitated. Damar Hamlin I am loathe to link an article bc most people have their own preferred sources 😉 He communicated with his medical team (thru writing) when he first came out of med-induced coma and asked who won the game. Last I heard, he was “neurologically intact” but still intubated
  14. @elegantlion Ive heard instructors say they’d rather have you over-cite, rather than under-cite. So cite if you are wondering “does this need it” then cite it… bc it is better to do that than risk (at worst) a plagiarism question what do you think?
  15. I think you can cite in the first sentence and at end of paragraph as long as you make it clear that all the included info is from the same source
  16. That really stinks about the rezoning… you need to watch her right back!
  17. Anything that is not common knowledge should be cited. as for writing in your own words…even that should be cited if it is an idea or theory or conclusion that he got from another source.
  18. It’d be extremely unlikely you’d be picked too if you said you routinely decide guilt based on media…that was my point…based on what YOU wrote that I bolded Was I assigned to watch your video or read the affidavit? Bc I wasnt commenting on that…
  19. Most preteens don’t call their friends dumb@$$ this is pretty harsh
  20. That’s good in you aren’t dealing with storage where stuff can get damaged by water. Lots of people have had their things ruined by flooded basements or leaks in attics, etc…
  21. be sure to let them know you have a habit of deciding guilt or innocence based on media if you’re ever selected for jury duty!
  22. I don’t know… your first post read like the chickpeas were a reluctant choice but now this one reads like Yum Yum Chickpeas! Edited to add: chickpeas don’t come in a box here…canned are ready to eat and dried are in bags like dried beans.
  23. Thighs are delicious and I think the most versatile chicken part. why wouldn’t you use thighs in a curry? 🤷‍♀️
