Not a link, but an observation:

It may be possible to improve the reading comprehension of the dyslexic by having them write very short stories, paragraphs actually, about things they admire. The principle is the same as observed in teaching, where you learn more about the subject when you have to explain it to others.

Example, using a pet rabbit, "Sam":
"Sam ate the greens while looking around. This was natural, because Sam is a rabbit."

Get your student to write as they observe the scene.

So many have to deal with words thrust upon them by others. An internal idea, expressed, may be easier than an external one, intrusive.

Dyslexia is not a fixed value, but progress for some may be possible.

Our most revered authors express what we cannot see such that we build scenes in our own heads. Most could be capable of building small scenes, as they do when storytelling.

No… No mollycoddling. Beat them until they perform! Time to get those whiny kids out of the house and moving forward with their lives!

But yeah, some brains be differ'nt.

Twitter —

• A tale of vituperation.

• One-liner out of the NYC election via Hymowitz.

Looks like the California push to go all-electric has hit another snag.

The average home electric outlet puts out 120 volts, reducing the charging process to a crawl.

In roughly three minutes, you can fill the gas tank of a Ford Mustang and have enough range to go about 300 miles with its V8 engine.

But for the electric Mustang Mach-E, an hour plugged into a household outlet gave Bloomberg automotive analyst Kevin Tynan just three miles of range.

"Overnight, we're looking at 36 miles of range," he told Insider.

Commercial charging stations deliver 240 volts. Tesla "supercharger" stations deliver 480 volts, but still require a wait time of about an hour to fully charge a vehicle. This is in a state that struggles to supply its current electricity needs without requiring every vehicle to be an EV.

Roughly 70% of California EV owners lack a Level 2 charger at home or at work, driving one-in-five California EV owners to switch back to gas-powered vehicles.

Paging Gavin Newsom....

Thought of Amy when reading this tweet.

'Member, now, nothing bad can ever have any good effects:

Whilst this clearly demonstrated the essay had undergone double-blind peer review, in line with the journal's editorial policy, the journal editor has subsequently received serious and credible threats of personal violence.

Try that out at your local meeting of Greenies, and let us know how it goes.

Except for the part where the man dodged a conviction for murder which he maybe shouldn't have, and the part where the woman went to prison for a "crime" that she certainly shouldn't have, I got no problem with this.

She must be really, and I mean really good at sucking dick beause hiring someone as toxic as her is a big nono.

She'll fit in perfectly @ Disney. Lucas Film hired Harvey Weinstein's former assistant to work on a Star Wars project.

"The average home electric outlet puts out 120 volts, reducing the charging process to a crawl."

Every home wired by NFPA standards has 220V service for water heater, dryer and range at least, and the typical 200A panel has enough spare capacity to charge your Tesla or whatever. On a timer or not.

So much for that nonsense.

Commuter cars aren't going to be fully discharged by running into town and back, either.

No gearbox. No underhood exhaust heat. 600+ ft-lbs torque if ~150 HP motor.

And charging its battery is not done the same way as that cheapie you have under the hood now.

Learn the term, "watt-hours", and begin the reasoning process. Yes, there are difficulties. No, they are not unsolvable, nor are they as large as some demand because they think "freedom" means being able to drive a dually to Walmart due to boredom - for free.

Not following. Who thinks they're driving for free, and/but why shouldn't they, if "free" means licensed piloting of a ride they've paid for?

Hyperbole, Crid, you may have heard of it. I'm referring to the American's desire for cheap gas.

In other news: a classmate has produced a forty-eight-year-old recording of my old marching band. Sadly, you can hear a "jelly-lipped trumpet player" among the chaos. Mr. Marion Scott is trying to produce order from 215 kids on the field... we changed shows for each home game.
Ahh, to be in a school without police and metal detectors!

HYPERBOLE???

"The Americans" want cheap food, too. And drugs. And lumber and everything else under the sun, so I still don't know what you mean.

Batteries have noxious stuff. This electric F150 which some people are getting so moist about weighs SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS. So just for brake wear and disposition of the spent battery chemicals, I can't imagine the thing is all that good for the environment.

REAL men want a C8.

Via Sommers- Look for the replies to this tweet which come from "Libs of Tik Tok" himself.

Okay, now run a cord from your dryer outlet to your electric car. Um, yeah.

In the study cited, 70% of the drivers who switched from an EV back to a gasoline-engined vehicle lacked access to a Level 2 charging station (240V).

The problems in home-charging an EV are not insurmountable. However, the fact remains that a significant percentage of recent EV buyers experience remorse and go back to the flexibility of an internal combustion engine.

As an around-town car, the current EV is very nice. However, the current range and longer recharge times limit its utility for people who do or who may need to travel over extended distances regularly.

Someday, with more and higher-power in-home stations and faster charging, the EV will become the standard. Today, however, the EV is not what the politicians trying to mandate a mass switch to EVs think it is. Such a mandate is putting the cart before the horse.

"brake wear"

The electric motor does the braking.

All this folly about internal combustion. What's wrong with a good, old-fashioned horse?

I forgot. Therefore, the braking — while mechanically distinct from the EIGHTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS of batteries — is an additional weighty and chemically complex element of the system, the after-use disposition of which is undescribed.

Nopers. I still haven't read the full-chain environmental lifecycle overview for electric cars to convince me that they're notable better for 'children and other living things.'

But if working (tangentially) in the electricity business, one might feel otherwise.

So, yeah, C8 is really alluring, y'know? I would be happy with the base model would be sufficient, but I'd pay extra for the Magnetic Ride Control and the RPO E60 Front End Lift (automated deployment [GPS, etc.] for something like twenty destinations; it will remember if the curb to your garage is a threat to your undercarriage).

Notably, not notable.

Lotta typos lately. Nicolek's fault.
