Re-Education Camp Cafe: Wild Cats and Mild Cats Edition
If you're anywhere near baby goats, they will climb you.
Goats will also keep trying to goad you into a headbutting match. Raising a neglected baby jaguar.Teaching the baby jaguar how to swim. Raising a pair of tiger cubs.
The tiger cubs go swimming for the first time. Lonely lioness is paired with tiger. Very affectionate cat is all over his human all day long. Please stand with the victims of R@pe Culture:

I mean, does no one remember that the joke here is that he is a skunk, who is confused about cats because they keep getting a white stripe accidentally painted on them?
The joke is that he is a SKUNK. THE WRONG SPECIES.
He is not a cat. This has nothing to do with rape culture, but is a parable about miscegenation.

When hand held calculators first came out my high school Algebra teacher wanted one and for the entire year we would hear periodically how much he had saved towards the $400 purchase price of one. Maybe 10 years later the same calculator was being given away in cereal boxes. Have always felt bad for him because he was good teacher and put me on the path of becoming an engineer.

No, this was back when consumer grade calculators were a serious luxury.

I'll never forget him hitting on my mom, who was still a looker 23 years ago. He made sure he sat next to her, and he chatted her up the whole lunch.
I haven't talked to any of the family since this whole thing started, but I know Chuck would be crushed.

Baths for Val, Dot and Delilah today. This included having their nails ground. All our guys stand patiently while being bathed but become passive aggressive about their nails.
Val is a hulking boy with the brain of a two-month-old puppy. I call him Baby Huey. As they mature, Borzoi become less overtly affectionate. Not Val. He still face licks, does paw of more and bumps boobs with abandon.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. They make sure the transition from your other browser (PC) is seamless. Unlike other browsers, it manages to get all of your passwords, etc. over just fine. That's always been the most painful part of a move. It also does a great job at managing your credit cards for instance.
The ONLY thing that bugs me is it retains all the tabs in memory, and can start to grind after a while. Right click and open a new window, and close the one with all the tabs (and memory of) to refresh.

No kidding, in structural dynamics the professor announced the final would be open book, three questions, and two would be lifted direct from chapters X,Y and Z of the text book. In the weeks leading up to the final I ended up doing all the problems in said chapters and had them in my notes, that gave me two and a half hours to work on the third during the final. Somehow I passed.

The fact that he's forcing himself on the cats is what the whole "rape" part is about I suppose. And honestly, there were very few actual cartoons ever produced. I thought the funniest one was when the cat got doused, and was all scrawny and sneezing and coughing, and swallowed the key to the door as Pepe realizes his mistake.

Even worse than cancelled, they'll turn them into Marietta and Luigina.
I was always wondering when they'd go after my childhood - and I guess Pepe is getting close. I never imagined just killing the character off. But then again, they've done that with Porky, although rather stealthily. Maybe they'll reintroduce him to kill him off all proper like, because it makes fun of Biden.
I gotta wonder though - the millennials take their video games and cartoons a lot more seriously. So what happens when they go after Mario? Or Sonic? Or Ren & Stimpy? Or Johnny Bravo? Or Darkwing Duck? Or is that Gen X? Z? I can't keep track of these things...

Too many memories of math/engineering profs waking l into class with only the book, no notes, drop it on the desk and proceed to write on the board and speak simultaneously at rapid fire pace for two hours while I struggled just to write everything down. Sometimes a brave soul would ask a question just so we could take a short breather while the prof answers his question. Unfortunately that usually just inspired them to go off on a tangent and fill up the board with another 20 pages on notes in 10 minutes.

Also I went to grad school with a number of Chinese kids. Enough to make me doubt that any thing about their test scores or iqs or anything else is real. Since they cheated on everything. And in very amateur ways. Like copy and pasting shit from Wikipedia. And apparently it is such an issue that every year the school has to sit down with Chinese and Indians and tell them that you cannot cheat in the US. And they still do it.

I'm not even talking about complex stuff. I literally spent two hours explaining interest rates to my ex's sister when she was in her early 20's.
Like she had no idea what any of that meant. She had student loans, a car loan, and a credit card, and kept ranting about how the banks were robbing her and I had to sit down with her and pull up her statements and show her. And again, not an (otherwise) stupid girl. I had a similar experience with an old boss about mortgage interest rates (the banks charge you all the interest up front to screw you!)

Mollie Hemingway is wrong.
Unlike us, other countries' leaders aren't a bunch of useless, stupid stooges and tools. They watch. They know.
Hiding Biden in his basement doesn't hide the obvious truth from them - it just heightens the perception that he's a useless, stupid stooge and tool who may be safely ignored, that his masters are anti-American Communists who can be counted upon to damage our country, and that we cannot be counted upon to help the few friends we have.

Yeah. I think it would be useful to have a "how to do adult things" series of classes throughout high school. I had to jump my friends car a month or so ago, and he was holding the cables near his car and looked at me really sheepishly and was like "what colors do I put where, again?" and I was like "just hold those two sides as far apart as you can, I'll be there in a minute" then I showed him. I think every high schooler should at least witness that being done once. Because it really is fucking easy.

Civics and economics are already required courses, they're just corrupted by leftist indoctrination, devoting more class time won't fix that. Critical thinking is something taught in every class to the students that bother to learn. Can't help those who refuse to.
Shop class is useful, but vocational tracks are dead now that every student is pushed towards higher ed. even if they have no business being there. Honestly needs to be solved by splitting students between traditional and vocational education after middle school.
How to be an adult is not something taxpayers should ever be responsible for. If their parents can't/won't teach them, they can learn the hard way.

I have never taken a civics class, and I didn't take an economics class until undergrad, when it was required as part of my major.
As for whether the taxpayer should be responsible for it? I mean ... who should be then? Nobody? Just let people continue to be useless idiots who fuck up their lives because they can't figure out basic stuff like budgeting money? Just let them procreate, and get government handouts, and vote and say "well, tough shit." (obviously, that's on the extreme end. Most people still live normal lives without some of the life skills I'm talking about.)

Typing classes were long overdue for getting cut. It was of questionable value even while typewriters were heavily utilized. If someone needs to type quickly, either they will naturally get faster on the job, or they will have special training and qualification for the niche jobs that require it.

Toward the end of one episode, the cat falls into a water barrel and the white stripe comes off. Pepe doesn't realize she's the same female he's been chasing the whole episode, and wanders off to look for his "playing hard to get" love.
However, that same fall caused him to land in blue paint. The paint hides his appearance, and apparently covers his smell. So as he wanders off, the cat watches him and immediately falls head over heels in lust with him. Pepe wanders back to the room where he first met the cat... and she comes in behind him, locks the door, and begins to chase him.

In the end you use the "extra" $3,500 a month you "save" (on a $60,000 a year salary where apparently there are no taxes of any kind to pay, to "pay" your $220,000 mortgage off in just 5 years.
It was so convoluted, it apparently amazed all the rubes in the comments who don't understand that you don't need a special "credit" account to do this. Just skip the special credit account entirely and apply this extra magical $3,500 directly to your mortgage principal each month.
Spoiler: The "extra" $3,500 *doesn't exist* and the woman basically took 30 minutes to explain how to draw a circle by putting a pen on a piece of paper and then rotating the building you are in 360 degrees.

1 semester of US Gov and Economics each are required for highschool diploma, though some AP/IB programs circumvent that.
And yes, the name of the game is personal responsibility. If you can't budget and refuse to learn (and you have a long time to learn, it's not like you screw up your whole life by making a few bad financial in your 20's or 30's, you just limit your chances at becoming upper class a bit) it is not the responsibility to others to protect you from your own poor decision making.

I love those YouTube financial "life hacks". They're fun to watch and try to figure out where the person starts their bullshitting.
My favorites were the "pay half of your mortgage every 2 weeks and you'll pay it off early" but they made it way more complicated then it had to be. First off, the interest is calculated monthly, not daily. Secondly, yes, you will pay it off a bit sooner then if you pay it once a month since there are 26 2 week cycles in a calendar year, so you're basically just making one extra payment a year.

It would be trivially easy, too. Make each week of the semester count as a year, and let the kids keep up with their earnings at the end of each week.
Instead we talk about it for 10 minutes two weeks before graduation.

You're right, varies state by state. Guess my point should be, it is already a requirement in some states, and it accomplishes nothing when it comes to educating people about either topic. Partially because teachers are 97% leftist, and partially because high schools mostly teach to the lowest common denominator, which means very little real education occurs.
I'm fine with whatever classes being available at the undergrad level because education is voluntary and students (are supposed to) have a financial stake at that point, but it's not particularly useful in compulsory education.

An aftermarket car manual for your vehicles is usually a pretty good thing too--Haynes has been doing them for years and has them broken down by groups of model years for particular vehicle models and makes. The troubleshooting guide in them with the trouble codes is one of the more valuable diagnostic tools you can have.

Generally if the check engine light comes on and burns steadily it's emmissions related and you're not going to damage anything by driving it for a bit before getting it repaired (or passing inspection).
If it flashes you need to stop the car because it's a serious engine problem that can actually damage something.

In my car, any red dash light is bad news. Yellow / orange is ignorable.
I've only had one red light come on, and it was while I was driving to take the bar exam several hours away from where I lived in a car I rarely drove. So I took a picture of it, sent it to my then girlfriend, and asked her to look it up. Apparently it was some airbag system failure. I said "fuck it, I'll worry about it later, I have more important shit going on" then a few days later, after the bar, went back to my car, started it up, and the warning light was off. I felt like I was being cosmically fucked with.

The sensors that annoy me the most are the tire pressure sensors. Especially when I was living up north. "Yes, I know the pressure is lower in the tires today, car. It dropped 40 fucking degrees over night. It will be warm again tomorrow, calm down."

What annoys me about those is thanks to obummer if you want to switch your own summer and winter tires you have to buy a sensor for each additional rim. Auto shops cannot mount a tire on a rim without a sensor so the only way around it is to get the equipment to mount and balance a tire yourself. Still trying to wrap my head around how that is somehow under federal jurisdiction.

With the temperature swings we get in New England, especially in the shoulder seasons, the bigger risk is inflating your tires to, say 34 psi when it's 10 degrees out, then by early next week its 65 degrees out and your tires are way overinflated, and can cause a blow out.
I don't care if my tires are at 26 psi (when the sensors kick on), that's really not a big deal, they can run at 26 psi for a day or two. IDK, I just wish I could turn the tire pressure monitoring system off.

People get hung up on 10-15mpg, but if I've spent $6K to buy an otherwise good running truck that gets that mileage, I've got $50K+ to spend on gas before I've hit the purchase price of a new truck that gets 18-22mpg and still requires gas.

The other is actually a pressure measuring sensor. IMO this is better, but prone to wig out with temperature changes.
The rotations vs speed just looks for one wheel/tire to be X percent out of wack with the other 3. The pressure sensors actually give you a PSI.
