By reilo Go To PostDon't forget to use the sentence "I could've died!!"I was on the m40 so yeh it was a possibility š steering went mental and started rocking.
Anyway, took it in, nothing obviously wrong with the new springs or shocks, and the rocking and knocking went away after they got it down from the lift. Booked in for a thorough look next week. Maybe a coil not seated properly that unfucked itself when the wheels dropped?
Rolling Stone kicked off 2023 with its 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list.
While the list, which runs from RosalĆa in the 200th spot to Aretha Franklin at #1, features a range of prominent artists, it did have one glaring omission: CĆ©line Dion.
According to Rolling Stone, the list was put together by āstaff and key contributorsā and āwhat mattered most to us was originality, influence, the depth of an artistās catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy.ā
Other prominent artists who were excluded from the list include Madonna, Jennifer Hudson, Cher, Janet Jackson, Tony Bennett, and Nat King Cole.

By s y Go To PostI can't name 10 good singersThat's too bad š¢
By Lego Go To PostIf Ariana Grande isnāt number 1 whatās even the point43rd. Twice as good as Michael Jackson at 86th.
By Adam Go To Postš¤š¤š¤i can sort of excuse not having swiss legend Celine Dion on there but no Janet Jackson is inexcusable form an american magazine.
"Genuinely Stumped"
Also enjoyed the replies lower down that completely failed to read the question. FF must be fuming
i mean i solved it but that does seem pretty hard for a 10 year old but i also have no idea what 10 year old maths is like anymore.
it does seem kind of hard for a 10 year old but dunno if that's just due to extremely low educational standards in the western hemisphere

By DiPro Go To Posti mean i solved it but that does seem pretty hard for a 10 year old but i also have no idea what 10 year old maths is like anymore.I thought the same, I was more looking at all the adults that couldn't handle it.
Not like you need to remember some obscure equation to be able to handle it, it's basic algebra and careful reading comprehension
English education loves to teach reading comprehension in their mathematics classes and not their English classes. Instead they teach interpretation / author intent there so nobody comes away with a wrong answer.
Teacher: "What symbolism did the author intend when he made the door blue?"
Author: "I was drunk and was staring at a blue door when I wrote that. It has no meaning."

Lol sounds like youāve had some bad teachers obsessed with formalism. I was never taught literature in that way.
My senior English teacher in high school taught us how to write fluff, which has helped me in both padding communications when it is expected and also identifying the cruft I write naturally and being able to trim it down when called for.
That literature interpretation happened in my junior year, iirc. Scarlet Letter was the big one. I hated it but aced it to the point that I would sleep during the class, a classmate got mad and asked the teacher why she allowed it so the teacher woke me up and asked me a question about whatever was being covered, I mumbled out the correct (or at least an acceptable) answer and then went back to sleep. "That's why."

I took my mathematics placement exam when I just got to the US so my English wasn't that great at the time and I whiffed on a lot of these "gotcha" and comprehension questions so I was placed in a lower level math class entering middle school.
Needless to say the math I learned in Germany in grade 4 and 5 were quite ahead of what they taught in grades 6-8 in the US (I also went to the highest tier of school at a Gymnasium so that probably was a difference, too) and it was quite eye opening. I never truly struggled with any of the actual math bits but definitely the some of the more inane paragraph type math questions up until high school at which point my comprehension skills caught up because my English skills caught up.
I am curious to know if I had continued my education in Germany if they would've had these types of math problems as well as a big focus.
I never struggled reading or even reading out loud though -- to the point where I was one of the better readers versus a lot of the native English speakers which always amazed me.

they do not.
That's what I figured. I would've rather wanted to learn more about the fundamentals of an equation and how its authors came to it rather than the execution of it which I truly believe would've helped kids learn how to execute it within the right context. It was all very rote and I don't think that helps.
Literacy when I was growing up in South Louisiana was fucking terrible. Like, there was some ridiculous stat where over 10% of the adult population were not able to read at even a fifth grade level (my mind originally told me 25%, but I refuse to believe that). I couldn't and still can't relate to how such a thing is possible, other than as a consequence of slavery and a large portion of the population being descendants of those slaves who were also kept as far away from education as possible by the white populace.

In high school every year we did a deep reading into a Shakespeare play as the big lit exploration. Teachers always made it quite interesting because of the interactive element of it being a play and it was always done in groups or with the whole class. Pretty good stuff and this was just a basic public school in a low to mid-income area. Even my university courses spent studying political or philosophy texts were quite illuminating.
Boy that Rolling Stone list is fucking terrible
