  1. I also didn’t know what that means, although Chat GPT explained it to me: BODMAS is an acronym that represents the order of operations used in mathematical calculations. It stands for: β€’ Brackets – Solve expressions inside brackets first. β€’ Orders – Solve exponents (powers and roots). β€’ Division and Multiplication – Work from left to right. β€’ Addition and Subtraction – Work from left to right. This rule ensures that mathematical expressions are solved correctly and consistently. It is also known as PEMDAS in some regions (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
  2. Thanks. I truly have never heard that before. In my defense, I went to one of the worst high schools in the US, have a poli sci/history BA, and a JD. I have successfully avoided the maths my entire life, much to my late father’s chagrin.
  3. About 6 years ago I was hiring a couple of summer law clerks and interviewed at UT Law. One otherwise nice, intelligent, poised young woman came in with those on. My daughters wore those plenty in ballet recitals and on the dance team in high school, and that’s an appropriate use. Whoever told that young woman it was a good idea to wear them to a job interview did her no favors.
  4. Need a STEM nerd to explain this to me.
  5. I have a lot of experience with government cheese from my childhood. It’s a cheddary velveeta.
  6. Lucky not to bust. I still had one or two options. No way to eliminate multiple options. Today is an ugly Wordle day. Fair, but ugly. Wordle bot says average player is taking 5.1 to solve.

  7. Not just TCU. I think a number of schools have listed it, just as they list the bowls they’ve played in.
  8. Atahualpa’s revenge.
  9. Yikes. Not good. Gene Hackman, 95, and wife Betsy Arakawa, 64, found dead in their New Mexico home, Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office says https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gene-hackman-wife-dead-new-mexico-home-santa-fe-county/

  11. It is slick on the bottom, and without dividers everything’s gonna be a jumbled mess. Reminds me of β€œBaptist bars” in ETX homes. Essentially a big lazy Susan in a main cabinet in the kitchen or den. In the front is syrup, or pots and pans, or something else so you don’t need to fear your neighbors or pastors poking around when they come over for small group. But once they leave, flip it around and there’s the hooch.

    Getting old sucks

    That sucks, Shooter. So sorry.
  14. One snippet from the end of their game thread on tonight’s baseball loss to Tx State. I don’t think Bondag knows what β€œrespectfully” means.
  15. What’s going on in KC? Winning is going on in KC. I’m shocked Philly is so low. It’s now obvious what Detroit needs to do to get over the hump.
  16. Maybe putting a GA in charge of a team with that much talent wasn’t such a good idea. Or maybe a talented coach made them look more talented than they are. Kind of like letting a teenage buddy drive your dad’s Ferrari. What’s the worst that could happen?
  17. Password shaggybevo1234?
  18. I’ve always been a little claustrophobic, but have managed it well until the last year. Flew all over the world, every kind of airplane, no problem. Last year I had my first debilitating claustrophobia attack on an airplane. Since then I’ve had 3 more, plus one on a ski lift over Christmas. It has gotten significantly worse and continues to worsen. I started exposure/cognitive behavioral therapy last week so I can learn to live normally again. Apparently a lot of that is going to be putting myself in situations that trigger it. That does not sound fun, but it has to be done. The video/discussion above is horrifying to me. But maybe in a year or so I will be able to watch it without recoiling.
  19. Well, 8 is about to tell 6 what’s what. 7 is the last out of the gate but os probably going to clean up.
