What cat? I just see some boxes and a shadow.

Per the article:

The data includes third- through eighth-grade test scores for districts in 40 states and the District of Columbia, as of the end of last school year. It accounts for about 68 percent of U.S. school districts nationwide. (Ten states were excluded, among them New York and Illinois, because of high opt-out rates or noncomparable data.)

Oddly, only 38 states + DC in the graphic shared here

Did I not mention that I’m also always ready to admit I don’t know? I was never particularly good at those problems, I remember you’re supposed to balance the equations some way or another, but I just don’t fucking care. The fly is dead, but also we probably should’ve let it live so we could study how it goes so fast. Forewarning would make no difference in my ability to do this math.

Seriously, I hate shopping for myself, and that’s a fully engaging activity. Shopping with someone else where I’m just waiting to be prompted for my input, if at all? Fucking pass.

I somehow never realized before that Anthony Mackie was in that movie

Dark mode + excess space trimmed

Maybe he bought them, maybe they were a gift, we don’t fucking know, and frankly it’s pretty irresponsible to just throw these sorts of unproven allegations around

It’s like when someone asks you a math question out of the blue versus when you know you have to be ready for one.

I have no idea what this means, I’m always ready for math questions. After all, you won’t always have a calculator with you.

It can be done in 6 weeks, but that’s no guarantee. I spent like a year and a half in weight watchers, exercising daily. After I hit my goal, as soon as the next winter came around and it wasn’t convenient, exercise started going bye bye. My brain is in this picture and I don’t like it.

That was my thought as well, to correspond with her return in season 3

Why do you keep posting about this? You don’t like people telling you that yes, it is possible to drown in 3 feet (or even less) of water? Are you pushing people into canals then saying “it was just a prank bro” when they drown?

Never heard of it, but if it elicits that reaction on more mainstream websites and social media, they’re probably doing something right

Easier to light on fire if you pull it down first I guess?

The other 8% have CTE already

Setting up a checkpoint? A succulent nuggies checkpoint?

OP created the post that the person commented on, their modlog is empty, and modlog for the community only has 1 unrelated entry. Doesn’t appear to be the case.

Here’s the thread in question https://lemmy.world/post/46714867

For anyone else wondering if it’s real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotwheels_sisyphus

The genus name is derived from Hot Wheels, an American brand of scale model cars. The long coiled embolus of the palpal bulb of this new genus reminded the authors of a looping Hot Wheels track. The species is named for Sisyphus, a king from Greek mythology, who is punished by the gods for cheating death. For this, the gods sentenced him to an eternity of rolling a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down. The cyclical nature of his punishment reminded the authors of the circular copulatory tube of the spider.
