   Yep.

   Saw a paper today that measured outcomes from a free pre-K program that had some built in control groups because they had insufficient money to give it to everyone, so there was a lottery. Two outcomes: As they expected there was no real advantage when they were measured using the current testing programs. But what they did find was significant: Despite the mandated testing, the kids who got the pre K contact did better by graduating from HS in greater numbers with more going on to college (timing means that we don’t yet know how well they’re doing at graduating from college).

   Is this one of those “only the twelve of you will understand the reference” kinds of things?

   My dot-matrix printer was VERY dramatic. Remember those sound-deadening boxes you could put them in to keep the noise tolerable? When I did that to mine, it just up and overheated and died!

   I have no idea what the founders of the city were thinking. Could they have planned to have nobody actually resident in DC where statesmen and the elected gentlemen of the House and Senate would go to do their god-mandated duty?

   If so, they sure missed THAT prediction.

   Tucker Carlson should be forced to justify everything he says to MY mother. (She’s been dead for 20 years or so)

   Covid isn’t the ONLY pandemic. This contagious idiocy/craziness is another.

   Because otherwise, the GQP is going to turn on you like a starving hyena turns on a lame duck…

   The disincentive is the amount of effort involved with using all those containers and utensils. Sometimes I spend a couple of hours cooking, and (I hope) the results pay Spouse to do a lot of cleaning. Sometimes I pop some frozen pot-pies into the oven and steam some asparagus, with ice cream for desert: 8 minutes of effort and one pot, one pan.

   And, both of us clean up as we go when there’s a lot of cooking going on. At least somewhat.

    Yeah. I also get ArcaMax, but there are no comments.
