I’m surprised he has “a pool guy”. Usually you’d want to be paid.

That’s always irked me. I get that one is very very special.

It’s probably because I learned that a prime only “has factors of one and itself”… rather than “exactly two unique factors” per se.

My wife is a qualified professional ECE teacher. The vast majority of teachers and staff there are genuinely there with your child’s best interests at the top of their minds.

The owners/management of the centers however are after your enrollment/money.

Visit the centers your are considering while they are open, if anything makes you uneasy with it don’t go with that one. Especially if the facilities or the staff seem a little off. Trust your gut. See where the sleep room is, inspect the toilets etc.

If possible talk to the actual teachers and get their take on things: ask them what they do in their breaks, where they take them. If it sounds like that don’t actually get non-contact breaks then your child isn’t going to be getting the attention they are supposed to.

ECE is great for children, they play, make friends, and it really helps their social development. The hardest part is, as you say, leaving your child with “strangers” but they don’t stay strangers!

Centers get audited by ERO the same as schools do. The reports are publication available from the ERO’s website.

They’re selected for this because they’re all near-perfect cubes.

There’s a bag of ‘uglies’ under the table that look more like the one on the right embedded in the quartz(?).

Still amazing though.

I wasn’t sure about how I could HypethTread^TM a pigeon, so avoided voiding my warranty.

And was probably outraged when “negroes were allowed at my school”.

Knife Out

It’s only one pigeon.

Some of us have multiple pigeons though.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

All white land-owning men that is.

It’s the same picture meme

NZ here. We’re, generally, incredibly arrogant drivers.

I think it comes from having a very low population density for such a long time: the roads were empty enough that you could “own the road”. Now, same roads with five times the density and that doesn’t work out like that anymore but the mindset persists.

Letting busses out: awesome.

It’s actually really relaxing and de-stressing to be a considerate driver… right up until the ass tailgating you gets all uppity.

I can only assume, haveling read only the headline, that the passive voice used here means that it was the US that seized/sank the ships, otherwise it’d be (even if unsubstantiated) “Iran seized/sinks ships…”

I’m remembering from back in the ol’ single core days too. Where an interrupt was, well, an interrupt.

Couldn’t quite remember how it worked, just that USB didn’t CPU interrupt:-)

The idea that another road user might have higher priority is unfortunately anathema to drivers here.

If this even happened here the corridor would simply be full of utes.

USB keyboards yelling into the void in the background hoping to be noticed.

I have a short dog that does this.

It’ll still produce better markup than MS Frontpage.

But that’s like saying someone’s asshole would produce a better ‘cake’ with a light dusting of icing sugar.

So can tell them what it is when they forget it. Duh.

You actually were in before a comment an hour later implying exactly that.
