    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.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    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.

    You just need to know how to multiply.

    You just need to know how to multiply.

    You need to know something about imaginary numbers, too.

    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 don't have problems, just more work to do.

    Astronomers or astronauts (whichever one does this kind of thing) say they've discovered another place in the known universe with oxygen. Yep, you guessed it...at the farthest point from earth on the other side of the universe.

    Literally every planet in the solar system (maybe not mercury?) and every galaxy in the universe has oxygen. Am I missing the joke?

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

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

    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.

    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.

    I was reading up on that Edward, seems there was some help from the lottery commission all set up on a few days notice. Brilliant if legal. I'm in with @ShawnOL on the next one.

    Is Joe photoshopped into this photo? Some say he is. I’m not convinced either way yet, but I thought I’d ask so that the people here can start swinging again. I’ll get the popcorn ready. Don’t let me down guys.

    The entire top row is sitting down. They are head high to the railing support. Joe is only a head higher than a seated person?? I'm assuming he's not kneeling.... and the baby's hand on the shoulder of the young man is the size of a child's ....I'm thinking shopped.

    Joe could be a few feet behind that top row, which would work with the camera aiming from below. I think not-shopped and Joe just wandered through that door to see what was going on out there.
