And go down another two decimal places to see how stupidly cheap it really would be. At the average US salary (in some states) of $50,000 it’d be like if you threw an $11 wedding and spent an entire dollar on your wife’s ring.

The names of the 3 musketeers regularly come up in crosswords and no matter how many times I see it I can’t remember one of the 4. There’s Porthos, Athos, and I believe D’Artagnan was the one who joined later. Doesn’t help that their names sound vaguely like the 3 fates: Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis.

- Comment on Anger as workmen rip out 'lovely' Levenshulme alley garden 2 weeks ago:
In a joint statement, Labour administration councillors Sheikh and Hussain said they were “deeply saddened and appalled” after visiting the site and speaking to residents.
They said neither of them had been informed of, or authorised, any clearance work.
The councillors said they had asked senior officers to establish who authorised the work, why residents were not consulted, and why planting and community facilities were removed.
What are the chances they find out who’s responsible?

Her party (the LDP) has been in power (except for like 4 years) for 6 decades straight. Turns out classic liberals (ie conservatives) don’t have any answers when things start going to shit.

I always think the single random downvote on an uncontroversial comment is odd, so sometimes I check into those. A few times it’s been from some account that has like 3 comments from 18 months ago and no activity since. Still scratching my head over those ones.

- Comment on Anon is only a little strange 3 weeks ago:
Mainstream Japanese TV was basically doing reaction videos before the internet was even a thing. Rather than use a laugh track, they put a box in the corner of various “celebs” reacting to the content. I’m really hoping it goes the way of the laugh track, but it’s still pretty ubiquitous.

I could’ve sworn there was a scene when he puts on his helmet and it’s got spikes on the inside but I can only find the one where he fills the helmet with blood before putting it on.

- Comment on Does the USA have gifted schools or was Spider-Man Homecoming lying? 3 weeks ago:
Beyond magnet schools, there are private schools that students need to apply for and/or test into. Like magnet schools, there are a wide variety of them and some are crappy and religious, but a lot of others are essentially schools for smart kids that focus on getting them into good colleges (usually called prep schools when this is the main goal).
Some can be very expensive and cost more than many colleges, but because of that you can find ones with a ton of money (sometimes into the billions) that accept students based on their testing and application alone without considering their financial status, called need-blind acceptance (that article only mentions colleges but it applies to these private schools as well). If a student is accepted need-blind and can’t afford tuition the school covers the entire cost. Other schools that aren’t need-blind offer varying levels of financial assistance for students who are accepted.
In terms of sports, prep schools (especially the wealthier ones) tend to have a lot of different ones, even sports that aren’t usually offered in public schools (crew aka rowing is an example). Check out this list of sports from Phillips Academy, for example. College admissions in the US includes looking at “well-rounded” students, so competing in (time-consuming) sports while maintaining academic performance is one way to show your ability to handle time-management, etc. This means you might get kind of jocky type students, but they aren’t really the dumb variety you see portrayed in movies.
