Sounds like you were able to get the answer but NOT the way the teacher wanted it. Theres a bunch of ways ro
Get to the right answer….

Creating problem solving.

There are some teachers who won't give you credit if your solution doesn't match the one in their Instructor's Edition of the textbook.
Case in Point: HS Geometry
"You have the 22 points. I follow you up until this point here... and pick it up for the last X points. But I lose you in the middle and your solution doesn't match mine (i.e. the book's), so I can't give you full credit."

That teacher's personal limitations sucked all the fun out of geometry. The crap grade didn't help either.

Good morning all. Day 2 of weather related telework due to 3 more inches of snow. Anticipate another 3-4 inches today then another 4-6 inches through tomorrow afternoon. Sidewalks and driveway cleared, 2nd cup of ️ poured. Y’all have a good day.

I don’t take driving in the snow too lightly, but I do something similar. I want to see how my truck is going to handle the snow. Not all snow is the same.

I want to be confident driving in the white stuff with as few surprises as possible. The big surprise, is typically how other people drive…

The issue here is the number of people who just moved here from the sun belt, and have never driven on snow. They don’t understand to take it slower, increase your following distance, and start to break earlier. Also, four wheel drive doesn’t mean four wheel stop.

Deceleration is your friend when driving in snow.

So true....i being from the snow belt second the factual reality that four wheel drive does not mean four wheel stop. I watch the West Coast implants doing SUV implants all winter long

Catching up on your hand? That can go in alot of directions.

Whoops, I think I meant to say catching up on something else??? Lit maybe???

I actually have to admit though dangerous it is a bit entertaining....oh my

It was a bullshit problem. Many parts, and depending on how you simplify it, many ways to write the final function. But all of them are correct. But you have to type that into a web page, and it decides if your answer is correct.

Then you use the function to solve the final problem. We all did the problem, three different ways, and came up with the same answer. Web page said it was wrong...

HS Geometry all over again. Boo! Hiss!

College level algebra, but it involved a little required knowledge of geometry.

Sometimes you can't automate this stuff and still teach the student well. With a hand written sheet of paper the instructor can follow the logic and understand different but correct answers! (The whole point of my gripe... LOL)

Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks.

I too am a Dunkin man when I buy coffee.

I have had the Dunkin' Re-education Course from my cousins in Boston.

The defense is wrooooooong.”

Sorry, My Counsin Vinny moment.

Absolutingfuckly. The idjits around here either overcompensate way too much or don't compensate at all. They're a menace to navigation.

I don't like Starbuck's coffee. I do like their coffee drinks.


I like DD coffee. It's always be DD to me.


I prefer Wawa's coffee. Sheetz' coffee is okay, too. I've never had Buc'ee's coffee. I'm never through there early enough.

I like Denny's coffee, IHOP coffee, Wawa's, coffee, Sheetz coffee &
Buc'ee's coffee is like Draino to me, no...Just no!
I can't walk into DD and just buy coffee & I can't have anything else

I have had the Dunkin' Re-education Course from my cousins in Boston.

Eons ago, when I first started with this company in my first sales role, my territory was Boston. I didn’t live there, but it was my territory and I could work it remotely. I did go there with some frequency maybe every month or so, and when my boss would go, he would always say, “ you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a Dunkin’ Donuts here.”

(I don’t really know who swings dead cats… but in CT and MA, I think it’s a law that you have to have a Dunkin’ Donuts on every block…)

Story over. Back to your regular programming.

I have some IRL Lit buddies from MA - one is still there, and the other moved away. We'd get together sometimes and they got me turned on to Dunkie's. My son got turned on in FL to Dunkie's also. So, I'm good with it. Dunkie's does seem quite popular in New England.
