It took me until my early 20s to figure this out: calculating the time after a certain amount of minutes is a lot easier than I previous tried to make it. Say the time is 7:35 and you want to figure out what time it will be 45 minutes after that. Add 35 and 45 to get 80, subtract 60 (since the sum is greater than 60 minutes), and then add one to the hour. The new time will be 8:20. Another one is calculating multiplication facts. 19 x 12 seems like a tough problem, but you can break it down: multiply 19 x 10 to get 190, then add 38 to that (19 x 2). The solution is 228. My elementary school teachers tried to teach me this mental math, but it never really clicked until I was an adult. I'm better at math now partly because I've taken more advanced math (Calc I and II) that required me to hone my skills. What seemed like gibberish when I was ten seems like common sense now.

Just because every other Nutribullet recipe calls for using unsweetened almond milk as a liquid base, you should not use unsweetened almond milk as a liquid base. I figured, hey, the mildly untasty fluid would be compensated by the fruits and veggies I put in. I was wrong.

The Nutibullet is really clear about not putting anything fizzy/carbonated into the thing, because evidently pressure builds up and can actually explode on you. I did one water-based (kale, banana, blueburries, vanilla yogurt, and water/ice to fill) and it was goddamned delicious. This is actually content; I never realized smoothies can be this good. I figured they were all gross good-for-you drinks.

rydiafan posted:2) This is literally common core math, and adults that use it in day to day life are making GBS threads themselves that it's being taught to their kids. Yup. A big piece of common core math is understanding that numbers can be broken down into smaller numbers/compared to larger numbers, and that you can use that knowledge to make mental math faster. It's bizarre. A guy in one of my classes complained almost every class that he was bad at math and he hated it when he was a kid, but thought the "new way" was stupid and we shouldn't bother teaching it to kids. He seemed to fundamentally believe that math can never not suck, math must always be hard and bad for everyone except for a few people who are inherently "good at it," it is impossible to make it more accessible because some kids will still be bad at it so why bother. It was really weird and uncomfortable and the professor was really patient with him. sweeperbravo has a new favorite as of 17:07 on Aug 30, 2017 |

I have a rice cooker, that I use pretty frequently. I always struggled with dividing up the cooked rice evenly, though, when I made a big batch of food and wanted to freeze it with rice. Like, it's easy enough to divide it into quarters when I made four meals' worth, just by splitting the rice in half and half again, but not as easy when making six meals' worth or whatever. I worked out ages ago that one scoop of uncooked rice makes about two portions of cooked rice (when put with other food, like stew or whatever). It JUST occurred to me - like last night - that I can just use the scoop again, and that two scoops of cooked rice will be the amount I want.

Armenians are considered white in America. Or at least they are if their name is Kardashian. Edit: I guess I have known more Armenians than I realized. I just always thought of the Kardashians as Middle Eastern. Henchman of Santa has a new favorite as of 14:10 on Aug 31, 2017 |

A homemade smoothie like that is equivalent to eating some fruit and some 30cal almond milk. It may even be higher cal than a soda but it's actually nutritious and will fill you up and help your poops with delicious fiber. It's not at all the same as a totally non-satiating can of sugar. Lol how people freak that fruits contain sugar and therefore are JUST LIKE SODA

Really depends on your diet. If you eat well and get enough fibre you don't really need to add all that sugar to your diet. There are innumerable fibre sources that are far better for you (and far less expensive!).

Henchman of Santa posted:I didn't know that, but that's perhaps the best example of how state-defined race differs from actual experience Its a big deal in the community as some feel like it leads to underrepresentation and others dont want to lose being officially white. There is/was talk of making it like Hispanic/Latino where you could pick it in addition to being whatever primary race you selected. That said, as someone in the multi-ethnic middle eastern bucket, for the most part in the US if you dont have a beard and arent too tan most Americans people will just assume youre white which can lead to awkward conversations when pure white folks do that thing where they get super racist out of nowhere im private. Easy example of a middle eastern dude who is mainstream white is Tarek El Moussa from Flip or Flop. Edit: Middle Easterners bring up white peoples average household income as a group, so removing them would make whites statistically poorer than currently reflected.

The other 20% is having healthier option for those "I've been drinking water and milk for three weeks straight and I want something sweet" cravings that I currently go to a 8oz can of Red Bull. food court bailiff posted:Noted choking afficionado MisterBibs prefers his foods blended for an entirely more banal reason.

Hell, that's kinda on topic for me (and others, when I tell them) though I've probably said it before. Growing up, I just figured everyone had that sensation of food slowing down halfway through the food pipe, or was risking their life by eating without a drink with them. Nope, my esophagus has been swolen my whole drat life! And it's an actual (if incurable, potentially cancer-getting, steroids-needed to-deal-with) disease!

It was pretty common for there to be a back and forth in my HS math classes to ensure we understood what was being taught. I mean I can understand being in a large lecture hall in college or something and you'd need to save your questions for the smaller sessions with TAs, but you'd be way beyond Common Core at that point.

This was a graduate level course on how to teach math to elementary school kids, with about 10 students in it. None of my pedagogy classes have been lecture based, they've all been student-centered, to model the kind of teaching they encourage us to emulate. Discussions and hands-on type poo poo made up the bulk of each session. The complaining guy did also ask genuine questions, but you just never knew whether this question was going to lead off into the confrontational mode tangents.
