I can taste metal in an acidic dish when it isn’t treated, but seasoning mainly makes the pan easy to clean.

I keep one until the battery dies. Then I replace the battery with a second rechargeable lithium and a new watch band. By the next time the next battery goes dead, the case is shot, too. Make absolutely sure that you follow the battery replacement directions carefully, reading the directions fully BEFORE attempting it. There are very tiny parts that can drop out and easily lost.

I have a little nicer watch. Accurate to the second and water-resistant to 100 m. My OCD is smiling, inside.

I had the same dilemma.

What worked for me was to buy an old, refurbished, commercial HP laser printer, without the subscription “features”. I paid $75 and have saved that much in ink costs, just this year.

He had it coming, and he fell on my knife nine times.

My class is different. They have to qualify, and have to ask to get in. When they leave, they are giants who can mike drop things that 99% of adults cannot do. (And they have a blast, while learning.) If it isn’t fun, they are not going to learn. The secrets to herding cats is either a string or a laser light.

These are advanced common core students. I wanted them to experience that they can choose variables to make sense for them. I also needed to introduce a third dimension to their math equations. We have played with Pi before, so that irrational is not new.

Pizza is loved, and I wanted to campaign for the vast superiority of Chicago Deep Dish. It is to bait them, it has vegetables… ewe… But they could see that more pizza might be a great advancement in the history of pizza. The pneumonic of PiZZa being the greatest equation in the world was too good to pass up. And Pi day was coming up.

The kids got pizza as a reward, so it was a complete win in their minds.

You are right about area should be A, instead of height, and radius should not be Z, either, but I improvised and made it the Z axis.

I will be happier if they remember their math, and carry that on to their next generation.

I have been teaching my 4th grade students their first actual equation that also is the greatest equation of the world universe. The secret parts are that the height is A, and the distance from the center to the edge is Z.

The greatest equation is that the actual volume of pizza that you get in any pizza is equal to…PI x ZZ x A. They ate it up.

I had this happen when I was at my Dr’s appt. I needed a script for oxygen. Prior to that, I watched several people walk in, get called to go to one of the examination rooms almost immediately. The thing is that each one of the other patients was obviously in far worse shape. When I finally was seen, my Dr started apologizing profusely. I told her that I know what triage means and to not worry about it. Stuff happens. If I was one of the others, I would want relief too.

My partner and I have separate bathrooms. It saves bottlenecks and conflicts, and is worth it to us, even in our small house. We keep our own rooms clean, enforcing the “I am an adult” rule, you make a mess, you clean it up. Piss splash is gross to clean up. I don’t make an extra mess if I do not need to.

I live in a city of 1/2 million and have not even one of these within a 15-minute walk. Some, I could not care less such as bars, but a grocery store, gym, and park would be nice.

A quick search confirms that MacOS is based from proprietary BSD UNIX code. It is not compatible with Linux
