@IanCopeland5 Online? And you couldn't even honor? Geez... all that DEI and couldn't even get good grades?








it’s definitely unfair that as a skater you can hope for a maximum of 2 olympic medals in a games while swimmers can get 15 in one olympics, but also not sure how to add more medal-eligible events for figure skating


Olympic Champion Mollie O'Callaghan's coach Dean Boxall on the LA Olympics: "We're going to have 44 thousand Americans in SoFi Stadium—brash, bold, screaming. Trump will be there. We're the underdog. We're the Aussie battlers coming in. 25 million people against 380." #LA28




American medical student just did “horrifying math” on her student loans - Her amount due is $396,945.67 - Annual interest rate: 5.875% - Monthly interest accrual: $1,943.38 Her monthly resident paycheck is $4,054.98 HALF her income goes to just interest… She says if she pays nothing toward interest, the loan would grow to roughly $600,000 by the time she finishes residency Interest rates on student loans are predatory and should be illegal. This is usury








The discussion about the Monty Hall problem yesterday reminded me of another time when Marilyn caught grief from a lot of people. She said that for families with only two children, the odds of both children being the same sex was 2/3. People yelled at her, called her stupid, etc., so Marilyn asked her large readership to respond if they were either one of a two sibling family or had only two children themselves, reporting the sexes of the pairs. Many thousands of responses latter and the numbers were roughly 65%-66% (I can't remember exactly because it's been a long time). Some people were stunned by the numbers, still thinking that it should be a 50-50 split. It should not and here's why: Thing of the possible combinations of two children: 1) Two boys 2) Two girls 3) Boy and girl* 4) Girl and a boy* You will note that groups 3 and 4 are the same combination: two children of the opposite sex. So there are really only three combinations: 1)Two boys 2) Two girls 3) One boy and one girl Two out of the three possible combinations are same sex siblings.









i think everyone is overestimating how long it takes to read a book. some books do be long but your average book takes like 3-5 hours in total.
