Well, the Guards are already eliminated, which donks, but at least both the Yankees and Red Sox have been eliminated too

Without bragging, I think I'm pretty successful at the roles I've taken on, and I would not be nearly as qualified if my educational background didn't emphasize reading for nuance and writing clearly - going to a world-class English undergrad for math helped immensely.

I'm a math guy through and through (two degrees in it, taught it for ~15 years, currently work as a statistician, getting a mathematically-based tattoo on Friday), and the correct answer to this question has ALWAYS been "both, they need to be able to do both."

I've said this ten million times because this stupid take never dies. The BUSINESS VALUE is that you can teach a kid just about anything if they know how to read and write. I can teach a kid math, but they're useless to me if they can't at least outline the memo about what the math means

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Sounds good! I don't know what the Danish sausage flavor profile is, was my only concern.

(And, most everything is better with a little hit of hot sauce, of course)

So, a) how'd it taste, and b) what do you need to add to fix it?

Though, I think a potato and mushroom pierogi base might balance the flavors a little more - and one could just go a little bit heavier on the cheddar flavor in the queso.

I'm considering making an @actioncookbook.com-certified "big stupid meal" of these some weekend. Would definitely be an "all day in the kitchen" kind of day.

Can confirm, it is delicious pizza.

Have any of @paledragoncbus.bsky.social, @ericseeds.bsky.social, or @guynemer.bsky.social ever tried it?

was wondering why i was in a weirdly good mood and then i remembered this is the one weekend a year where you can get the best pizza that columbus, ohio has to offer 614now.com/2024/food-dr...

This pizza–served one weekend a year only–is regarded by many as the city’s best; Here’s where to find it

Early October means a number of things in central Ohio: The beginning of Halloween season, when the Buckeyes began conference play and plenty of pumpkin spice throughout the city’s bars and…

Oh. My. God. Becky, look at his head, it is so big, ugh.
He looks like one of those "Fat Head" cutouts, but, ugh, you know.
Who understands those Fat Heads? They only talk to him because he looks like a total asteroid, okay?

Your comment reminded me of a discussion with @nikolaidenmark.bsky.social and @chloedenmark.bsky.social from years ago, where the comment "all math is nonconsensual" was said.
