China has begun its second day of military drills targeting Taiwan, in what it says is punishment for “separatist acts” after the inauguration of its new president on Monday....
Culture difference is a big thing. I do think Putin has lost a step. If you look at previous autocratic actions by him they were better planned and executed. Yeah Ukraine is the biggest thing he has tried to do. At the same time Putin is further down the dictator trap I really don’t think Putin of ten years ago would have blinder so badly. Xi is an autocratic too and will definitely get there eventually. He is just not as deep in the hole.
FYI getting a UROP might be a little hard. Not saying you shouldn’t try but often there aren’t that many spots. It will vary a lot depending on the school.
So you really have to do it as a transfer student. Applying straight to a 4 year school may require a certain GPA in HS, ACT/SAT and you will be in the pool with all the HS applications. Transfer student have a different pool, and most colleges reserved a certain number of spots for transfers.
So CC is definitely not like HS. Yes they teach some of the same classes, but that is just for people who didn’t learn that subject in HS so you are prepared for college level courses. That is not most of CC, CC is mostly 100/200 level courses that are real college courses, many of my CC professors also taught at the local 3 year school. They used the exact same material they used at the 4 year school.
Honestly my CC courses were way better than the ones at the 4 year school. Learn more, it was easier to ask questions, etc. CC are different all over, but mine had 30 students per class. I had classes at the 4 year that had 200 students. There you got a lecture and we’re just expected to keep up.
There are a lot more adult students now. Many schools have a specific office that is there just as a resource for adult students. There are scholarships for adults many are open to all ages. You are not too old for a scholarship, this is exactly the stuff that an advisor will walk you through.
CC advisors will see you before you are enrolled and will give you a much better understanding of what is the best path for you. To them your story is not new or something to be ashamed of. They see GED students every day and they can help steer you through the right order to take classes so you don’t have difficulties you had before. They are a wealth of information. I left a lot on the table because I didn’t understand the things they can help with until it was too late to take advantage. If I could go back I would have spent way more time in their office.
I know it feels like a big hurdle to deal with. I was right there with you. I had such a bad time in HS it took me 10 years before I was willing to try school again. I really didn’t know if I could do it at first. But every year it gets easier to deal with.
I really thought that she might follow through on her anti trump thing. She pretty much went full send during her campaign. Didn’t think she was going to let back in by trump. I never expected her to support the Dems, but thought there was a real chance of her not supporting Trump… Well so much for that
The acquisition of a 25-square-meter flat has provided Gong with a sense of liberation, as she now spends two days a week at the property, enjoying solitude.
Why can’t she just pay a live in nanny to deal with her kids. Like all the other rich bitches do when they can’t be bothered to relate to their kids.
My mom didn’t take a day off for 25 fucking years. When I became an adult and realized how much work to just be an adult with no responsibilities… I have no idea how she did three kids as a single mom. Between work, cooking, cleaning, making us do our homework and everything else. I really wonder if she ever got a full night of sleep.
And this rich bitch buys an entire extra flat. Fuck this.
Yes they sure did. I don’t believe any Tesla ever shipped with Lidar, maybe some did. The big thing that they removed/disabled was the radar. They did this because the radar and visual cameras would disagree about where things were. So instead of spending more R&D time to get it right. They just removed the radar and called it solved.
See man that is what I was looking for. A clear position with underlining logic. If you had said something like that from the beginning. Instead of a one sentence jab. I might have agreed with you.
For me thinking that you had an issue with the width. Is something I had to infer because you responded to my comment about the cars being too wide for the track. Also you didn’t refute it when I made that comment about the other tracks. Instead you started talking about pirelli tires.
I find it amusing that you don’t think I have not articulated my position. Seeing you actually responded to my position in the last comment. Instead of talking about Canada and Pirelli tires. That seems like pretty good evidence that my position was clear.
Oh and lastly the question about how small the cars should be. You know that’s a bullshit question right? That’s a full on straw man. Clearly your goal there was get me to not have an answer for it. So you can use that lack of an answer to invalidate everything else I’ve said. Sorry not going to play.
