  1. I am trying to work this through. If we take away that lyrics "where the roots all twist" will this song be about nectarines?
  2. I don'ts have the service to watch the redo of Shogun. So, i did a search for ways to watch the original series. Found this : Internet Archive archive.org Best part is that it is free and commercial free.
  3. Agree with you. I am gifted several small $$ Amazon gift cards every year. Without Prime for free shipping and large enough to qualify for free shipping, they are almost useless.
  4. Students can still use their own CB approved calculator, instead of desmos
  5. Thanks for the tip on the Grayl. We lived 1000 yards off a lake for the last 30 years. Every year, I say we need to get a purifier for the emergency kit. But just couldn't pull the trigger on a $400 Berkey system to store until the apocalypse. Looked at the Grayl products, and bought one. 24 ounces of filtered water in seconds would more than cover our needs.
  6. It has been a while since my last trip to Asia. I would always take a couple of cartons of Marlboros with me. Asian friend had told me a pack or two will be a much appreciated gift/tip. Looking at the price of cigarettes now, I am not sure this would still be considered an inexpensive token.
  7. Try shopping in Cina town. Look up seafood markets in Honolulu.. great deals on poke and locally caught fish.
  8. When schools and offices started reopening in my area after covid, they required daily temperature testing. I bought 4 infrared temp guns that were the same type being used at my office. They all seemed very accurate for around $25 each. Much better than the digital oral thing. There is no no branding on them, so unable to make a recommendation.
  9. My college freshman took all of Thinkwell's college sciences and math classes. He had excellent AP test scores. The problem with the TW's AP classes is that TW s simply reorganizes the order and material of the college course to follow the typical AP class order. Hence, the occasional drop off and disjointedness of TW's AP classes. TW's full college classes probably have less than 10% more content than its AP classes. As far as problems sets go, TW has way more than D.O, because it provides new problem sets if you redo a lesson set, hw, or section tests. Tw problems are also a little more challenging than DO. As to grading turnaround, grading is instantaneous. BTW we did do alg 1 with CTY, and all instruction was TW videos. There was teacher who simply monitored progress, but I don't remember if the teacher had his own test material or used TW's. I think it was the latter because I don't remember a lot of communication with the CTY teacher.
  10. Family Handyman site has a couple of easy diy methods for handling popcorn ceiling. The easiest is just covering it with sheet rock or plywood.
  11. This girl "laughed when we asked are they real!." ?????
  12. It depends on what you are making. Last week, I tried a pretty authentic jerk chicken recipe. I had every thing but fresh ginger. I did have some old powder ginger on hand. Chicken turned out very spicy, bit it was definitely messing something from the jerk chicken I had in Kingston. I am going to try this recipe again with fresh ginger.
  13. My freshman will graduate with zero debt thanks to need based aid and a generous four year scholarship he earned back in the 7th grade. I stumbled onto this board when he was in 5th grade. I was surprised by the number of very young kids who had taken psat, or sat in elementary and middle school. We started testing around 5th grade which led to CTY and CTD. More importantly, when he applied for the scholarship, he had test scores (especially math) that would have qualified him for some very good colleges.
  14. Maybe you can get a white chicken and give it the Tijuana zebra treatment. https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/mexico/articles/how-zebra-painted-donkeys-became-tijuanas-hottest-tourist-attraction
