    Right, corn really isn't ALL that healthy compared to other veggies.

    My understanding is that corn is a livestock feed pretty much exclusively in most places other than the US.

    "The way that would play out in the show would have been a fucking head trip. Events of previous episodes may or may not have happened. Characters who were killed may end up being alive again now that the timeline has changed. A character from the future will realize that events in the past are different from what he experienced and that his own future may no longer exist."

    This would be quite interesting, imo, but would have to be done *perfectly* to not seem overdone.

    I can't imagine many people wanting to "keep track" of it all when watching in a weekly format either...

    I guess i parse "whose drawings included, but were not limited to" differently than you did. To me that says a portion of his shirts had copyrighted things on them, and some didn't.

    Therefore his t-shirt shack was not "impossible" due to licensing concerns, he just chose to ignore them.

    I asked personally because i was curious, and I feel knowing the time and parts cost gives a better view of the project than just what money you put into it.

    If I could get/build an EV that was good for my longest 'typical' drive (70-80 miles) (and if I had the facilities to charge it) I'd be pretty interested.

    You're right about the hollow bones, but keep in mind the muscles a swan would use to swat you with its wing are the largest and most powerful in its body, and I guarantee more muscle mass than your daughter is punching with, unless she maybe holds some junior weightlifting records.

    All that said it would be much more likely to break a wrist or dislocate an elbow from a strike like that, which is where I imagine the truth of the saying is rooted, if there is any.

    You may be the first homeschooler I've encountered that has openly admitted the difference in motive (academic vs. religious, I mean) which I suspect is because the ones I grew up around were interested in it for the latter reason.

    Actually i was only looking for an hour figure of time invested, but:

    The cost of the time is emphatically NOT zero, unless you would have spent that time sitting around doing absolutely nothing at all.

    Otherwise there is opportunity cost at the very least. How you figure that is subjective, but it's there.

    Your "actin white" example is a particularly stark one, but growing up in rural north carolina I saw similar amongst poor white kids, where it was implied that if working in the mill was good enough for your dad, and his dad, then if you wanted different you must think you're better than them.
