re: Does school rankings matter for elementary and middle vs high school?
Posted by CunningLinguist on 5/10/24 at 8:34 am
School rankings are weird. Diversity is a criteria in them. I ignore that. For us, we value the HS ranking most so we are in the feeder pattern for the HS with strong college placement scores....

I have kids. I usually will not hate on someone for not wanting them for any reason. Parenting is tough and not for everyone. The worst are the parents who you know just wanted that box checked and are not active in their lives. ...

Posted by CunningLinguist on 5/1/24 at 10:58 pm
Omega is going to show up as a Jedi in the Rey spinoff movie. I thought that was just assumed. As for Bad Batch, I just finished the last episode. Great ending to a very good series. Star Wars needs to do more animated shows. They are always solid at worst...

re: Eating out vs in since Covid

We eat out about once every other week including take out. It is just easier to make our own meals.
At this point, I really enjoy cooking on the smoker and my wife enjoys cooking as well. We cook 3-4 times a week and have left overs for the rest. 3 days a week we have some sort of kid activity ...
