"teach to the test"

Biden just gave a speech/presser asking to prioritize teachers

I haz a sad.

daughter.tek went to school, grades 6-10, three blocks from that very Mulberry Street.

Didn't find the resurrected "problems" thread.. so..

fogbow via HTTPS is giving me a SSL_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT .. firefox and chrome..

Another fable from the Ted Cruz school of lying liars who lie..

I'm not an accident investigator.. but I don't see how the nose of the vehicle got so smashed on that route without the vehicle going end-over-end. During the news conference yesterday one of the officers said the vehicle sheared off an 8" tree going down the embankment. I assume that crushed ...

This is one of the reasons grid interconnection is important. Mutual aid. But too also: when you are part of an interconnection you have to abide by the reliability rules... the Northeast blackout of 2003, for example, was basically caused by First Energy playing fast and loose with the NERC/FERC re...

Nice behavior from an Officer of the Court....

Main problem is that I can't remember how long I've been on Fogbow.

But with the pandemic, time has become a flexible concept.

I think I still have 0xA fingers, though some prefer to be called "thumbs" ...

Hey, Y'all!

I'm tek, I've been around here more years than I have fingers (I think).

Life-long New Englander, until we moved to South Florida last year. It's different.

This is insane! The witch hunt NEVER ends.
If they’re doing this to my father, who won’t they do it to?

They won't do it to me, because I don't cheat.

And hey, hasn't your loving father been saying all along his taxes are under audit? Everything should be nice and clean by now, right?

This is apparently the only P&W engine that uses hollow fan blades, and they've been tagged in the past about inspection procedures. In February 2018, another United Airlines 777-200 outfitted with Pratt and Whitney PW4077 engines, the same type involved in Saturday’s incident outside of Denver,...
