So husbands Subaru wrx exploded into steam in the other weekend
Towed to dealership and they said there was a blown out hose and they fixed that and a broken temp gauge that meant the engine likely overheated. About $300 to repair.
He drives it again, a couple days later it starts steaming from under the hood
Taken back to Subaru dealership, they find out the radiator is leaking, quote $700
They just told us yesterday that the head gasket is blown and it will be $2300
It's a 2007 car and husband definitely wants to get a new car
But how do we get out of this old one? Repair it and try to trade it in? Don't do repairs and sell it? Get other quotes (the dealership is probably high)?
- Daughter was up late last night throwing up from anxiety. Which means I was up late (long after I said "g'night" to chat).
- She talked to the councilor this morning. The school will not let her change classes just because she can't work with the teacher. She called my wife crying to tell her.
- My wife decided to check the teacher's facebook page, found a gem from 2010 in which teach was "disappointed she doesn't get to teach upperclassmen this year" and needs to "start praying for a better attitude toward 9th graders".
Perhaps if I just move everyone to another school district? Fresh Start. Fucking hell. I get that she'll probably survive a C, but will I survive the stress and anxiety? Not to mention the absolute loathing for science this fucking teacher is instilling?
hmmmm...
-is this something you/your wife can change by being a pushy obnoxious parent and storming in in person or like...getting a note from a therapist saying the bio teacher is making your daughter sick? I wouldn't expect your daughter to be able to change it by meeting with a counselor alone.
-do you know if the teacher is a single bad apple and/or if the school is in general well-regarded and treats its students well?
-I know how one bad teacher can turn someone off a subject but it would be quite sad if she disliked all science. Hopefully she'll like physics or something since that isn't connected to bio at all basically
The school told me something about changing classes and I couldn't. My dad responded by going fucking ape shit ham on them until they did. Apparently there are ways around everything, if your confrontational enough.
Also Honors classes are bullshit.
What honors classes are really depends on the school set up, demographics, etc. I would not call them bullshit without understanding the situation.
...fair enough.
Overrated. Is a better word. a B in honors classes doesn't make a college see it as any more than a B. AP classes at least carry college credit, but they are absurdly hard.
Best system I've seen is high schools that reimburse for community college classes. I know someone who was halfway through her associates degree when she graduated high school, already paid for.
Ok I have a super-skewed and annoying view of this because of my own hs experiences and any way I talk about it sounds braggy as fuck so let's just put it in spoilers
Right, I mean I went to #1 school in the country (at the time; not sure if still true) which you have to test into, so we didn't have honors classes because 'every class is an honors class here' (lol), and APs were not particularly hard, and also mandatory in that various classes did not have non-AP options, and some mandatory classes had AP requisites. It was not permitted to take community college classes, but I believe 3 years of post-calc math were offered and possibly you could get college credit if you filled out paperwork.
...elite colleges generally don't accept APs for credit anyway though...
They definitely did back when I was applying!
What sucked was I couldn't get transfer credit for the calc and Spanish courses I took at UW-Madison because of some bullshit rule that boiled down to "we don't want people graduating from our university in less than 4 years".
Nowhere I applied (mostly liberal arts colleges, one engineering school) took aps for credit. I didn't apply to Ivies (cause I wanted a good undergrad education lol) but I heard they didn't accept them either. Some schools accepted them to let you place out of an intro class, but they did not decrease the # of classes you need to graduate.
APs were absolutely accepted as credit at most places I applied and could significantly decrease your courseload.

Even when confronted with facts (which they aren't with modern systems, because of the self-selection of information and preemptive dismissal of differing narratives), most people don't change their mind.
I've always felt this view somewhat misrepresents the problem. Rather, there are enough facts in support of both "sides" (let's just say conservatism vs liberalism to be simple about it) that you can cherry pick the ones you want and present those and you're still presenting facts. Just not the whole picture.
What everyone lacks is the apparatus to weigh facts and determine which are examples of exceptions and which of the status, and which facts can stand alone versus ones that are influenced by unintuitive factors. This is only compounded by the incompleteness of empirical evidence in any situation.
That's before you get to the SEO masking problem of modern news feeds, along with journalistic incompetence and bias, and capitalism interfering via 'hits'.

yeah I'm thinking it's mostly a liberal arts thing to just completely not accept them, or maybe just characteristic of the couple of places I applied to which were similar to each other
where you also are not allowed to take classes in engineering, education, journalism, or anything 'vocational'
I totally believe in the value of a liberal arts undergrad education, but it's also very much up its own ass

It was not permitted to take community college classes, but I believe 3 years of post-calc math were offered and possibly you could get college credit if you filled out paperwork.
...elite colleges generally don't accept APs for credit anyway though...
They definitely did back when I was applying!
What sucked was I couldn't get transfer credit for the calc and Spanish courses I took at UW-Madison because of some bullshit rule that boiled down to "we don't want people graduating from our university in less than 4 years".
Nowhere I applied (mostly liberal arts colleges, one engineering school) took aps for credit. I didn't apply to Ivies (cause I wanted a good undergrad education lol) but I heard they didn't accept them either. Some schools accepted them to let you place out of an intro class, but they did not decrease the # of classes you need to graduate.
APs were absolutely accepted as credit at most places I applied and could significantly decrease your courseload.
I didn't apply to shitty schools.
yeah I'm thinking it's mostly a liberal arts thing to just completely not accept them, or maybe just characteristic of the couple of places I applied to which were similar to each other
where you also are not allowed to take classes in engineering, education, journalism, or anything 'vocational'
I totally believe in the value of a liberal arts undergrad education, but it's also very much up its own ass
The latter part seems bizarre. Like, they weren't electives, or you couldn't even take them?
Where I went there were plenty of people who took cross-related, no credit fun classes like a short Shakespeare thing or a Big Bang and Black Holes seminar. Seems weird to straight up bar that.
guys if I wanted to get a credit card to start building my credit and specifically wanted it to be the kind that gave me mucho airline miles (preferably w/out stupid requirements for when to spend them and, idk if this is even a real thing u can do but, also preferably the kind where it doesn't matter which airline you use if that exists) what kind should I get
I see lots of people with southwest cards (and I fly southwest) but I looked into that once and it seemed really sketchy
Thomamelas might be able to help you
altho at what im guessing your income level to be, don't expect to rack up that many miles
hey some is better than none!
yeah I have babby income tho
oh uh I should really probabyl do my taxes soon right? idk how to do that oh gosh
who do I talk to about that, my bank??
About your taxes? You shouldn't need to talk to your bank. You should get a w2 from your employer. Did you even make enough to pay taxes this year?

if they do not well congrats! you've been paid under the table in a completely illegal fashion!
idk how much you've made through art commissions but maybe @tyrannus can tell you how to report that

so not airline miles but a good general card if you qualify is the citi doublecash because you get 1% when you buy and 1% when you pay it
2% is pretty good and you don't have to bother with "is this 1% or 3%?" thinking. it's given me a free $500. it soothed the balm somewhat on a $2000 vet bill when i knew i'd get $40 back
They found out I was eating healthier and they have been relentless stopping by my office offering up treats, snacks, and baked goods. Usually they ignore me 100% completely, the only time I'm told there's goodies up front is after the front office staff picks it bare and the back office staff makes a commotion about it.
But they are purposefully trying to derail me and it's annoying because the hunger pangs are real. But I'm sick of being fat. They will not win.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

- Daughter was up late last night throwing up from anxiety. Which means I was up late (long after I said "g'night" to chat).
- She talked to the councilor this morning. The school will not let her change classes just because she can't work with the teacher. She called my wife crying to tell her.
- My wife decided to check the teacher's facebook page, found a gem from 2010 in which teach was "disappointed she doesn't get to teach upperclassmen this year" and needs to "start praying for a better attitude toward 9th graders".
Perhaps if I just move everyone to another school district? Fresh Start. Fucking hell. I get that she'll probably survive a C, but will I survive the stress and anxiety? Not to mention the absolute loathing for science this fucking teacher is instilling?
hmmmm...
-is this something you/your wife can change by being a pushy obnoxious parent and storming in in person or like...getting a note from a therapist saying the bio teacher is making your daughter sick? I wouldn't expect your daughter to be able to change it by meeting with a counselor alone.
-do you know if the teacher is a single bad apple and/or if the school is in general well-regarded and treats its students well?
-I know how one bad teacher can turn someone off a subject but it would be quite sad if she disliked all science. Hopefully she'll like physics or something since that isn't connected to bio at all basically
The school told me something about changing classes and I couldn't. My dad responded by going fucking ape shit ham on them until they did. Apparently there are ways around everything, if your confrontational enough.
Also Honors classes are bullshit.
What honors classes are really depends on the school set up, demographics, etc. I would not call them bullshit without understanding the situation.
...fair enough.
Overrated. Is a better word. a B in honors classes doesn't make a college see it as any more than a B. AP classes at least carry college credit, but they are absurdly hard.
Best system I've seen is high schools that reimburse for community college classes. I know someone who was halfway through her associates degree when she graduated high school, already paid for.

where you also are not allowed to take classes in engineering, education, journalism, or anything 'vocational'
I totally believe in the value of a liberal arts undergrad education, but it's also very much up its own ass
The latter part seems bizarre. Like, they weren't electives, or you couldn't even take them?

yeah I did a music major as well as civil eng and it was awesome

@So It Goes fuuuuuuu
I am not the most experienced dealership hardball guy so I am honestly not sure if it's better to repair and sell or see if you can sell as is
The prior advice that was posted sounded good -- just handing it off if you can get a decent trade in value sounds pretty compelling
Otherwise it wouldn't hurt to get an independent shop's estimate but that also requires towing it over somewhere else
Uggghhhhh
so luckyyy
we got tons of rain though which is also nice - went from world blanketed in snow to visible grass again
and it is a super beautiful day
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
You're also an engineering major right?
*exits stage*
What everyone lacks is the apparatus to weigh facts and determine which are examples of exceptions and which of the status, and which facts can stand alone versus ones that are influenced by unintuitive factors. This is only compounded by the incompleteness of empirical evidence in any situation.
That's before you get to the SEO masking problem of modern news feeds, along with journalistic incompetence and bias, and capitalism interfering via 'hits'.
Yes, but I mostly took offense to the "shitty colleges accept AP" implication.
Fucking LAME
i still remember when i tried to come back and garen was first ban and i was like WAIT WHAT THE FUCK
*listen to 2 minutes of complete word salad*
*turn off press conference*
oh yeah I get it. that may be true for lib arts colleges but definitely not top engineering schools!
I see lots of people with southwest cards (and I fly southwest) but I looked into that once and it seemed really sketchy

Don't worry when our national media cleans it up, this will be bad for democrats.

Sorry; that was dickish of me!
I applied to all good schools and it was about 50/50 on what accepted which AP's
Hampshire would let you use them as electives but since the number of courses you take isn't really related to how long it takes you to graduate I just didn't bother
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
I'm actively working on scrubbing my brain of the entire concept of government. I don't even want to know that such things exist.
