I was thinking about the tag right up until I hit send without doing it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And thanks for the reminder to spend the hour I sit in the car between dropping my kid off for her call time for band concert and when I actually go in for the concert, listening to Game Theory

Okay, but *every* song by the Roots is a banger.

I had tickets for their visit to Cleveland in 2020, so disappointed to not be able to boo them in person that year

The list of what's wrong with Ohio is growing rapidly
comment in response to
post
I have a similar issue, in that students in OH are required 1 life/1 physical science plus one more to graduate. We can't get buy in on sample sequences that actually form a cohesive science education. Doesn't help that Ohio is Ohio

Better late than never for Rogan, I guess. I have no faith in the chuds involved with this book ever acknowledging that they were being disingenuous the whole time

Looking forward to these "I was a liberal until the woke left revoked my free speech" goons pivoting in reaction to current administration practices

There are so many things I do/say at school for my own entertainment, not for anyone but myself. Because I also deserve to have a good time

I wasn't even trying to make a reference, I was just singing the song because it came into my head.
But speaking of references, I do make occasional Simpsons references...for the student whose dad made Simpsons references with me when he was my student

Can't show a whole lot of Rent to the kids...

Oh, I do. But aside from the ones who have seen every musical ever, with each passing year the likelihood that they know Rent decreases

Is it because of the capitalist assumptions about what makes a person have value?
Is it because of the reductive way we talk about humans as interchangeable widgets?
Are these all the same complaint?

Thank you for reminding me that there are currently much worse things in the world than algebraic struggles

Update: results were not impressive

I shared the video in case anyone else finds it useful

I'm curious to see how results turn out because there is significant friction at the axle, and my tape holding the other end of the string to the pulley makes it a little less uniform in shape/mass density
comment in response to
post
Plan is to upload to Pivot Interactives so students can calculate linear acceleration.
From there, they can work out the rotational inertia of the pulley, which doesn't fit neatly into "it's a disk"

Slow motion video, I think the frame rate was 120 fps

Here you can see the pulley more clearly (currently with 100 g @ r= 2 cm, 50 g @ r = 4 cm)
