Should you really be admitted to Harvard for a Major that requires Algebra if you didnt get straight a straight A in Algebra?
All majors require algebra.
Elementary education doesn't. Half the people I knew who went into Elementary Education did so in order to avoid taking algebra. My thought was that if you couldn't pass algebra, you're not smart enough to teach anything, but, there it was.
That was long ago, could have changed.

Literally every planet in the solar system (maybe not mercury?) and every galaxy in the universe has oxygen. Am I missing the joke?
@ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.

I remember thinking the same thing. I think it was a bullsh*t 'discovery' to help secure funding.

A new Air Force One has been in the works since 2015 but has been beset by problems that have delayed it for several years. Initially due to enter service in 2024, the plane won't be ready until 2027 at the earliest.
President Donald Trump's entry into the White House has added a new level of urgency to proceedings, with Trump especially eager to see the new planes come to fruition.
In his first term in the White House, he renegotiated the deal with Boeing and even created his own livery for the plane.
Boeing has lost more than $2 billion on the project. In a 2022 earnings call, then-CEO Dave Calhoun called it "a very unique set of risks that Boeing probably shouldn't have taken."
However, the planemaker's current CEO, Kelly Ortberg, is working with Elon Musk and DOGE to try to get it delivered as soon as possible.

Even gender studies?
Especially gender studies. Gotta keep up on those variables.

Algebra is a basic. You can’t get any degree at any accredited college without it.

You just need to know how to multiply.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
You need to know something about imaginary numbers, too.
Like 6 and 9 with an imaginary friend?
In this context, yes, those are imaginary numbers.
Went to get some maintenance items to do some work on the truck and car only to end up with a nail sticking through my truck tire. 😂
I have no problems, just more work to do.

Just something I read in a 1440 newsletter. Maybe they meant a breathable oxygen atmosphere? Don't recall.

Good read. Wish it was newer than 2020. Thank you for the post Todd.
Yeah, the livery shown in the article is a no go. Dark colors create too much heat.
