I found it interesting that a self-identifying queer-oriented group did it. Having a hell of a time trying to wrap my head around their rationale, though.

My Mom drinks a lot of tea and has a tea pot. She swears she can tell the difference between using water from the tea pot as opposed to microwaving a cup of water and dunking a tea bag in it. She's full of poo poo, of course, but I wanted to get in on this bizarre tea derail and that's all I've got.

Not really, it's the way most people do math mentally they just don't write it down and realize it. If I asked to you add 1127 to 94 you drat sure wouldn't be doing it in your head the way you'd do it on paper.

(8+2)+3=(10)+3

You quickly know what adds up to 10, then you figure out the rest.

breaks posted:

"write down 2 and carry 1" is the same thing as "take out 2 and make 10", just with somewhat different phrasing.

breaks posted:

6+6=12 is not any different between the "old way" and common core. poo poo, the common core standards explicitly specify that students should have the sums of all pairs of single digit numbers memorized. What's different is what you said the first time. When discussion addition in a broader sense, the traditional way focuses on the "carry the 1" - the mechanical procedure of addition, observing an immutable problem and calculating an answer by totaling up columns of single digit numbers. Common core focuses on the "make 10" - the concept of a tens digit, the properties of addition, reasoning about the properties of an equation and how to manipulate it into a more easily solvable form.

I bet you argued with the teacher about showing your work, didn't you?

FadedReality posted:

I was farting around on Khan Academy a few weeks back and it gave me a positive number plus a negative number problem. I realized I had never been taught WHY that makes a positive number and had to really look around for answers beyond "because it just is and math is correct or incorrect". Same thing for why you can invert and multiply when dividing fractions. I say if kids are learning the why these days then good, even if it does look convoluted.

Dear Parents,

If you never understood or liked math as a kid you're probably not gonna understand your child's math homework either.

They wanted you to write out what 4 x 7 and 3 x 8 equalled separately

jidohanbaiki posted:

It's great that you know off the top of your head what 7x8 is, but do you know why?

mind the walrus posted:

No poo poo but again it's about making sure you follow a process rather than getting into the habit of shortcutting every "small" task in your head, which depending on the number crunching you're doing can gently caress up a shitload of work or even endanger lives if you have that 1 in 1,000 moment where you go with (7x4=32) in your head because you were tired or slightly distracted or some other poo poo.

I have an older HP Color Laserjet and if you don't have all the color cartridges full, you can't print black and white even though the black one is full. Also the printer uses up some of the color every time you print to keep the heads flowing. I ended up just buying a cheap network laser printer for regular docs. Anyone that doesn't do this really needs to.

I barely play Magic (and I'm in Europe anyway), but I'm a Judge, and taking pictures of people without their permission (or even knowledge) to post on the net and laugh is Not Okay, especially since there obviously are shitlords who'd do the same to women for less humourous purposes.

The definition of Unsporting Conduct - Major is as follows: "A player takes action towards one or more individuals that could reasonably be expected to create a feeling of being harassed, threatened, bullied, or stalked."

Serperoth posted:

"A player takes inappropriate photos of another player without express permission."

Serperoth posted:

I had a giggle at the photos when they first surfaced, I won't deny it, but, to further quote the Judge blog "this behavior impairs the comfort of our players and the safe, welcoming environment we are responsible for creating and promoting, and it bears being called out specifically."

I never understand the out and out vitriol teen pop stars get from adults, like they're playing a constant brown note or something. At the end of the day, most of that stuff is pretty much inoffensive and paper thin substance wise, and is some of the most forgettable songwriting wrapped around a catchy beat. If anything, it's some of the easiest stuff to ignore.

I am sorry to be the baron of bad news, but you seem buttered, so allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies, and are more than just ice king on the cake. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite.

So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality.

I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the fax, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake.

Full milk (10%) and semi skimmed (5%) milk cost the same right? So, what if you dilute a bottle of 10% by 50% water. Would that not make it 5% milk? Effectively doubling the milk you own for no extra money?

These are the things that keep me up at night.
