Tornhelm posted:There's a reason the Ausgoon thread mostly involves us drinking ourselves into oblivion. It's the only way to dull the pain. That package was just the tip of the Abbott idiocy - if John Oliver had waited a week, he could have added how Tony Abbott just linked D-Day with repealing the carbon tax. This is dangerously close to Godwin-ing his argument.

It's actually kind of funny how some people in the US think they have a monopoly on anti-immigrant racism. It's like they've never heard someone with an accent bitch about "pakis", or Poles running car washes, or gypsies being the source of all crime ever. There's just a whole world of racism most people haven't experienced.

Dreylad posted:They balance each other. Andy's bullshit is tempered by John's refusal to engage with it, and John occasional anxiety is indignation is countered by Andy's, well, bullshit. This is a pretty succinct way of putting it. Andy's pun runs are great, if you have John/Chris groaning along with you. The episodes leading up to Last Week Tonight's first episode had some great segments of John anxiously having no idea how to deal with stress/his face on the side of busses, and Andy was there to joke/bullshit right through it.

axeil posted:And whoever in Florida came up with that formula for how your students should do is a lovely statistician. If something has a maximum value you should cap everything at that. The fact that you had a probable-honors-student crying into a kindle over not being allowed to take a hard enough class should probably be enough to tell you you've gone astray? axeil posted:The College Board gets a lot of poo poo for the SAT and AP exams but I think it's way better than most of these state level standardized tests we see. Why didn't we use the AP exam as our template for these things? I thought those were pretty decent as far as standardized tests went. Generous time limits and done at a fairly relaxed pace and they never felt unfair. AP tests are exactly the same thing, but on a smaller scale. I had high school teachers who had graded AP Tests before, and the history/literature exams were basically described as speed-reading for keywords and determining if the student "coherently" name dropped enough in an "essay". It's a system I'd consider vaguely acceptable for high-achieving people trying to skip college classes, but not for every single student.

IRQ posted:Salt Lake City made money, if that's a metric to go by. I believe a bunch of their facilities are used for training a lot by the US teams still. Thanks Mitt Romney (Not really)? SLC generally did a pretty good job with facilities. For example they built some of the the ski jumps a something like a decade in advance and were already using them for training, and the opening/closing ceremony venue and the Olympic Village were upgraded replacements for University of Utah facilities that already had uses (football stadium/dorms).

I've always assumed the show gets edited/delivered pretty close to the wire, and the process of transcoding it into a billion bitrates, then checking those transcodes for errors, then sending them to CDNs...etc just takes too long.

Toxxupation posted:I think the point more is that yes, you can technically get pregnant from anal/oral depending on how aggressive your post-sex hygiene is , but bringing it up even as a stat point puts undue weight on the likeliness of it happening My theology teacher (Catholic school) freshman year of high school decided our particular section needed a sex ed segment. Included was a vice-principal's wife doing a demonstration where she pulled in a trash barrel from the hallway, "this is a pore in a typical condom", and a basketball, "this is a to-scale size of an HIV virus", THUNK. The moral: don't bother with condoms, kids. Also included was a section where we passed around models of fetuses at different stages of development and as little discussion of actual sex as possible. The teacher also only ever taught that one year, because she went to convent after breaking up with the quadriplegic junior-level theology teacher.

"My sex education for what being 11 or 12 will be like when I was 10" is more like it, but I'm really trying to avoid arguing against Irish Joe. 5h grade for me included a day where the girls disappeared for a day and came back having learned about "the p-word".
