How in the hell does he think making states take their own approach to education magically decrease cost per pupil and improve learning?

Also, what factors are considered with cost per pupil? I'd imagine some of that would come from food, transportation, and other factors that we also fall behind on compared to the rest of the developed world. You can't solve that by just focusing on one government department.

Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been combing through the embattled agency and has cut $982 million in spending so far.

The bulk of that - $881 million - was saved by ditching 89 contracts dished out by the department’s Institute of Education Sciences.

Many of those contracts were for special studies tracking student learning, evaluating teaching strategies, and tracking educational trends.

Yeah maybe ripping almost a billion dollars away from the department of Education to stop them from literally doing their job isn't the best play here...

Not even fazed by Azura pigging out on a bag of chips, Luz is truly obsessed.

Just found this article that for some reason has me dying of laughter: ICBM address

Just woke up from a nap and ate a chicken sandwich and vanilla shake.

Honestly want to see more Boscha redemption. Belos and Odalia don't deserve that though.

I love how there's already an L+A heart on Amity's notebook

I like telling my users that I can be bribed with food for faster service. Waffles knows what she's doing

I don't know but in the comic with Ayzee getting her palisman, Hunter tells her to "just pick something that's alive." But in the comic with Masha, they say any creature will come to life after it's carved. Both of these IMPLY that the palisman must be based off of an animal (real or fictional) but it's not explicitly stated.

Now that I think about it, back in Ayzee's comic Hunter's argument for not carving a sword palisman is that it wouldn't be effective since it was made of wood. So it may be possible that normally inanimate objects would be animated to some extent?

 

Also did another sticky note with "Feed me bugs, HOOT!" since she's a software developer.

Took some time to find an angle/twist that worked but after getting it nailed down it was easy.

 

My everything was sore when i got back because I'm out of shape but it was worth it. Had some oatmeal after setting everything up and enjoyed myself.

Progress update: I'm a thief (self.edmproduction)
submitted 1 year ago by KeraKali to c/edmproduction
 

Working on coming up with melodies and using the Beat/Bassline tool in LMMS to partner up with that. Thought I just came up with a pretty neat melody before realizing I basically copied C'mon by Tiesto and Diplo almosy exactly... because I was listening to it in the shower and subconsciously remade it.

Going to try and focus on even more basics of production rather than try to make something unique right off the bat. That will let me get the fundamentals sorted out before worrying about creativity and unique sounds.

Just learning here (self.edmproduction)
submitted 1 year ago by KeraKali to c/edmproduction
 

Just started hyperfixating on making EDM music, and the only music knowledge I have is from playing violin for one year in fourth grade. Seeing the potential for what can be made using a few tools and samples is exciting but not knowing what I'm doing means I have a long ways to go before I can create a full song I'm proud of. So far I have found a couple things of use:

For software, LMMS is a free and open-source DAW with many samples and some interesting plug-ins included with it. I also found Surge synthesizer but haven't had the chance to download or test it yet. I don't really know how to use one properly but I've found some good sources for learning.

Knowledge: EDMTips and EDMProd have a lot of articles that I'm reading through, some of which are aimed at absolute beginners. Very helpful. I also found Learn Synth from Abelton which breaks down all the common parts of a synth in a way that's easy for me to understand and experiment with.

If there's any further advice people could give I'd appreciate that. If this community seems dead then I guess I'll use it as a place to track my progress.
