I say next Saturday for the Saturday that will occur soonest.

If someone waiting at a bus stop asks me which bus goes to the train station, I say the “the next one”. Meaning the one that will appear first at the bus stop, not the one after that. Which makes sense for days of the week too, to me anyway.

I am always being corrected, though.

Ugh… that explains me, so I’m hoping that my kid stays an immature, frustrating, loud, undefeated and happy child for a long time yet.

Found it by the trash bins by our house! We’re not fancy enough folks to have oil and vinegar at the table every meal, but I did receive a bunch of pothos cuttings as a sort of housewarming gift.

In fact, so not fancy that I peruse the trash bins for treasures…

I don’t understand much here.

You’re struggling in self taught high school geometry, but tested out at CC.

You took HS, CC, and online intro to biology classes all at the same time.

The CC wouldn’t let you run experiments due to lack of facilities.

You are used as an expert judge in competitions in your (unknown) field.

You want to maximize time in a college or university research lab.

I’ll say this, you most likely won’t be in a lab much as an undergraduate, so don’t worry about transferring as a freshman. Why not ask all the friends and acquaintances in the research labs for advice and help? If that’s where you’d like to end up?

Also, if you can already enroll in the college, then they, and no one, cares about your academic past- especially high school…

It all started with a dude looking at skulls, he saw one that was the most symmetrical, the best looking skull he ever saw. He decided it must belong to a white European, as they are the best people (/s). He finds out that the skull was that of a person from the Caucus mountains.

Caucasian has been used to describe the ‘superior’ white Europeans since. So, OP is using the word correctly really. They say African, Asian, Latino because those are other races… with unpleasant skulls.

This is a gross oversimplification, but one of the modern excuses for racism and race superiority. Also, why ‘Caucasian’ is used to say white European.

Depends on the town. I grew up in and went to college in a small town - pop. 16,000 ish. It was the reverse, students came for mostly 3 reasons; it was as far from home and still pay in state tuition, it was (is?) a quirky place where no one really cared how high you flew your freak flag, or to for the pot.

The college brought in diversity and employment, but wasn’t really the identity of the place.

In short: Make it more difficult and time consuming to take than the bike next to it.

It’s probably part of it, and being part of a secret in group that gives them a sense of being and identity in this bleak corpo meat grinder of world we live in.

Maybe a bit of non violent disobedience, a desire to get caught and martyr themselves for a bit of notoriety.

It’s probably a complex series of social, psychological, political events that’s just easier to boil down to ‘crazy’ and be amused by their antics.

Lady Dwarf. If there is an option for it, always lady dwarf.

Started with world of Warcraft, I just wanted the least played character type, so Cindie the lady dwarf warrior was born. She lives on in any game where it’s an option.

If you don’t mind a rogue, a rake, a real scoundrel (anti hero even) I’d say the Flashman books.

George Macdonald Frasier’s series of historical fiction.

Flashy is, by his own admission, not a good person, but a fun easy read.

I dunno. The guy got a bunch of radio equipment from when he worked at WNYX, started a pirate radio station then moved on to podcasts…

It’s all there in his Wikipedia

“ He also espouses various conspiracy theories, particularly with regard to the government's suppression of information about extraterrestrial life.”
