Climate Change is the "do it all" emergency.
Too hot? - Climate Change
Too cold? - Climate Change
Too dry? - Climate Change
Too wet? - Climate Change
Just right? - Probably Climate Change
Don't think for a minute they won't use this "emergency" to take your freedoms.
I average over 7 per week for sure. I shower a minimum of once per day, and may add a second if I work out in the afternoon or evening (or anything else that would make me sweat a lot).

Yes.
My oldest daughter overheard me tell my wife that I had the blues. Nothing big just kvetching to my wife as one does, fishing for crumbs of sympathy to spark conversation.
My daughter got out of bed and poked her head outside her room to look down the stairs at me, โDaddy, donโt be sad.โ And I said up to her, โOh, Iโm fine, sweetie. Just tired. Go back to bed.โ I didnโt want her to worry and there is nothing to worry about, feelings come and go like clouds and sunshine.
But, it struck me to the heart just how much they love us, our children. We donโt deserve it. We donโt deserve them.
Children float through our lives like cherubim of sweetness and tenderness. Children treat their parents with such gravity and reverence. In a real way, mom and dad are pillars that hold up their entire world.
Thus, we also have an obligation to work through our challenges as we navigate the oceans of life so that they feel safe on board.
Here is a map showing roughly the average sunrise time during the school year for the continental USA.
This is with the current situation of the "spring forward" and "fall back" of Daylight Saving Time.
You can see that especially places to the west within a time zone have generally fairly late average sunrises... with many of those areas sending their kids to school in the dark for likely much (most?) of the school year.

How big can a sofa be and still turn a 90ยฐ corner in a narrow hallway?
This deceptively simple geometry problem puzzled mathematicians for 58 years.
In 2024, Jineon Baek presented a proof that Gerverโs remarkable 18-piece shape is optimal, with maximum area โ 2.2195 for a unit-width hallway.
A furniture problem became a mathematical masterpiece.
Does Antifa (which simultaneously exists and does not exist) think this will end well for them?

There are only correct and incorrect answers.
"during the last school year, a council of educators at both Palo Alto high schools rejected the [advanced math] course, arguing it would serve few students and set back equity and studentsโ well-being"
Right, math is harmful. Come on! What are we doing?
โIf teaching math can harm students, then we have a lot bigger issues to talk about than whether to offer this course,โ Nguyen told the Chronicle.
Indeed.
Brian Conrad, a Stanford mathematician, told the Chronicle that he felt math was treated as a โpunching bagโ for equity and mental health concerns.
โThe school doesnโt cut sports teams simply because some kids are far more talented at sports,โ he said.
โWhy is it that the teaching of math generates much more controversy than other subjects?โ
