I did it a pretty standard way I think:
10% is 2.40 so 20% is 4.80
24 - 4.80 = 20 - 0.80 = 19.20
My check was 4/5 of 24 is 96/5
Also I learned that my autocorrect now has a calculator built in!

My statistics teacher told me I was an average student. I thought that was mean.

They want to believe that they deserve their wealth so it’s important that poor people stay poor to show they’re undeserving.
Also yes the bullying and cruelty

White House sends threats to the accreditation agency to see if they can get more capitulation and control, sounds like.
I guess the threat is that DoE could stop recognizing them as an accreditation agency?

Dead batteries.
Rocks from the mine tailings where the battery chemicals were extracted.
Photos of that field of Cybertrucks nobody wants to buy.

He keeps asking questions he’s not going to like the answer to, and then interrupting one or two words into the answer. It’s gross bullying behavior just like Trump.

I also thought 330 and then realized that this is exactly what you get by counting everything twice
3+6+…+27+30+
30+27+…+6+3
Makes 10 copies of 33
So cut it in half
I like the 3x(1+2+…+10) ways better. I know the sum to 10 is 55 (almost as well as I know the sum to 9 is 45 from killer sudoku)

No emdashes in that sentence — I’ll rate that 0/10.

Read more about what Trump did to the web pages describing the transgender Stonewall revolutionaries, and how the community protested in return.

This is a great description of when it is both easiest and most important for us (cis men, especially white cis men) to speak up.
Practice what you want to say in these situations so it’s easier to do when it happens. “She/they seem pretty great to me”, “what makes you think that?”, …

They’re not saying she committed a civil rights violations. They’re saying the *notice* of civil rights violation is a threat to remove their funding, and the removal of funding is punishment for saying unapproved words.

You’re incredible and your writing is fantastic. If this is what doing what you want looks like, I hope you keep doing it for a very long time.
(Came for the cosmology after reading the disordered cosmos, I like following authors I enjoy. Stayed for the everything else)

Reminds me of the celebration of hot baths in Fellowship of the Ring.
I always found the books a bit long and arduous to read and I think that gave me more empathy for the characters.

I think the “No” catches the eye and really captures the message we want here.
I wonder what foods people 60 years from now will think are similarly weird and/or disgusting

Air resistance? I’m thinking about the change in buoyancy when the density of air is lower.
Also of course the physical work is fairly irrelevant to calories burned. Try holding a 10 pound weight straight out from your body and not moving it. Zero work done for the physicists but ouch it’s a lot.
