In general, and as much as possible I prefer to cook/bake on weights rather than capacities, a cup of flour is notoriously a bad measurement that depends a lot on the flour, the humidity, compression, etc. It makes a HUGE difference in repeatability, particularly when baking, or with anything that will likely impress: quiches, souffles, sauces, etc.
My kids go to a small private coop school. They are bummed when there is NO school. Why is nobody asking why schools are so boring that kids are making an effort to get out of them? And as a parent I've in the past supported my kids effort to play hookie if I considered the activity they were planning a better educational experience.

You're right. The whole thing is security theatre at its finest. That's been true for years. Does anybody really think that an old ladies sewing needles are a threat to the airplane?
Of course they are, they could knit an Afghan... thanks, I'll be here all night.
I don't get this... he can easily convince me that HIV does not cause AIDS... just let himself get injected with a nice shot of the virus... oh, yeah, he believes in alternative medicine.
from Tim Minchin: "You know what they call alternative medicine that works?" "Medicine!"
Please, remember the time the stories were written! Asimov started writing it in 1942, he was 22, and he wrote it for pulp magazines. So, the dialog is a bit campy, but you have to put it in context.
I deeply disliked I Robot as. But let it be said that Robyn Asimov, who I assume knew her dad pretty well, commented that the dear Doctor would have liked the movie, because he thought that the only way his cerebral stories could make it to the screen was as complete rewrites (story here)
Are you f'n serious? Keep bullied kids back a year and further bully them ("The System" bullies them by keeping them back a year), encouraging more bullying (the bullies are now armed with, "dumb dumb just got kept back a year") and docking them one year of pay (they now lose out on one year's income potential before retirement)?
Fix the problem: punish the bullies and the teachers and parents that turn a blind eye to them.
Makes perfect sense to me. As a kid I was a year ahead, academically I could hack it, but socially and physically I couldn't, so I got bullied. I didn't realize until many years later that the age difference was significant! I now think that if I had been kept back with my age peers I would have been much better adjusted, but at the time I felt there were failings in me that were causing me to be bullied... a few years of that and even my grades suffered.
Esperanto has not yet failed, I know many Esperanto speakers... but you're also forgetting that a lot of early Esperanto speakers were killed by Soviets and Nazis

Doesn't ring true. Sacramento is North-East of San Francisco, you don't get to L.A. from San Francisco by going to Sacramento first... look at a map.
I could see a north-south route parallel to I5 that split about where I580 splits with some trains going to San Francisco and others going to Sacramento (and further north, to Redding, perhaps?)

Fail... Bacon's Erdös number is 3 (since Daniel Kleitman's Erds–Bacon is also 3)
Agree! (Just saw them in concert this past Sunday)

i.e. in May?
Don't worry, that was ten years ago, computers have gotten much more powerful since 2001
It's all a plot to generate electricity by attaching a turbine to Phillip K. Dick's grave.

I think I read something by Robert Heinlein that sounded just like that.
I was thinking the same thing... works great, as long as you have the time.
Actually... dogs are used more and more for hunting truffles than pigs now-a-days, google it.
Bravo!

I hate you... I just wasted an hour watching that. Like a bad accident, couldn't stop looking.
TLAv6 is too difficult, just simply use ETLA (Extended Three Letter Acronym), giving you 456,976 acronyms, that should be enough for a while.
