  • Interestingly, Canada, which has free health care has a lower birth rate than the U.S. where births can cost between $3000 and $70 000.

  • We've still got over a meter of snow on the ground here. They're welcome to come and get it.

  • That's crazy. I taught elementary. For that you need a Bachelor's that includes enough credits in one subject to be a "teachable," and then two years of teacher's college. In elementary, you teach all the subjects except French. In high school, you need two teachables. Of course, you can be called on to teach a course that isn't one of your teachables, but they try not to. Canada.

  • I'm old enough to have seen the advent of computers as a teacher. Immediately, the word was spread that computers would replace teachers. They didn't. With the advent of the internet, again, proponents said it would eliminate teachers. It didn't. The reason almost all attempts failed was because the main purpose of teachers is not to diseminate knowledge. It's to hold accountable, inspire, spark imagination, encourage, make human connections, give emotional support, coach, and teach responsibility. There are some students that will do well in a teacherless classroom. The majority won't.

  • I did a search. Nothing showed up.

  • Being startled is a long way from being terrorized. While it may be a translation thing, it's more likely this was a clickbairt title. "Woman was Startled by a Robot Waiting Patiently Behind Her" just doesn't have the same punch.

  • The robot stood behind her, waiting for her to get out of the way. How is that terrorizing?

  • I can't do that, Hal.

  • Bring a second set of clothes and a hat.

  • No way. The government will be hacking in to steal the data. I'm wearing tinfoil underwear, just in case.

  • So, the National Basketball League of Australia could call their championship the World Cup of Basketball? It has two countries in it.

  • He's absolutely right. And while we're at it, can we rename the "World" Series?
