I am glad you are not in charge, it is a better experience for both my kids that they are able to be in the same scout program.

The other thing that people that are posting that are forgetting, probably because none of them have school age kids right now is that it is nice as a parent to have kids activities line up on the same night/timeslot. It is more inconvenient if we had to take them separate activities on...

My boy still does scouts, I don't understand what opportunity was removed.

I live in a very diverse part of the country, a high percentage of immigrants and people of various races/religions. There are both hindu's and muslims, in addition to all of the various christian sects in my kids troop. Even many of the christians in the troop are from immigrant families...

That is too bad, ours is closer to only 1/2 of the weeks during the school year and they are lax about people missing. Although neither of our kids ever want to miss, they love it.

My daughter did girl scouts last year, but this year both her and my son joined "Scouting America" as it is now known. Their troop is 50/50 girls/boys although my sons den is all boys. Both my kids love it and they would be disappointed if we told them they could not do it next year. No way...

Because we have had an open border policy since the inception of the country, give me your poor, tire, huddled masses since the immigration of early poor irish immigrants during the potato famine. There are more people of irish decent living in Boston than in Ireland. Our history is based on...

That sounds like terrible management.

In mining and oil field it is quite common to work 9-80's which would be great. My wife did that for years before she quit to be a stay at home mom. We do let our engineers and other professionals at our manufacturing facilities work 4-10's.

Usually each of the posts in Nate's science thread is an article with an entire topic of 100+ replies devoted to on various tech sites, It is a different level of discussion. Depending on the article you usually have people who work in the field posting in the comments. Edit: Similar with...

I read many of the same topics that are posted in that thread, however I read them on tech/science sites and when i do want to discuss them i post over on tech/science sites and not here.

No longer there, they probably stole footage from nature documentaries, got too popular and then imgur received a takedown notice. My assumptions anyways.

Maybe it was 14, I know it is bad at 85+, you have me second guessing myself as I have not actually tracked the mileage since the first road trip. Mine is the 4x4 sport with the stupid fake turbo hood scoop, I wanted the 4x4 off-road which has the slanted hood for better...

90% Music/sports 5% Bloomberg - just because they have the highest chance of talking either economics or tech without mentioning politics 1% Fox business 1% cnn 1% nbc 1% etc 1 I choose whichever station is not talking about politics at the time and will listen to it. I probably listen to...

It is going to be a decline for a while, TSLA should only be valued at 30 dollars a share if it was valued like other car companies. Laying off people is not going to fix the stock decline.

Maybe spending that much r&d on an ugly pickup instead of on a replacement of one of the aging vehicles was a bad idea.

I have a lead foot, and we take multiple long road trips from houston into the rockies every year, gaining tons of elevation with speed limits at 80mph(i go 90), typically the mpg sucks and does not come close to advertised numbers. I average around 12 mpg on the highways on these road trips...

I used $3.50 for my analysis and compared the Tacoma to an SUV that averages 21 mpg, which is about what I expect to get. Edit, sorry for the double quote. On my phone, can't fix.

Slightly different, but similar is because i don't keep a vehicle I thought high resale value was the most important part. This is why i went with a tacoma, however it is costing us at least a thousand extra dollars per year in fuel compared to alternatives.
