Is missing two days of work over the last 6 months reasonable?

Some of those artists are fairly old. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of them.

I watched through the fifth season of Breaking Bad, but I never completed the sixth. They really should have ended with the fifth like they had originally intended.

Yeah, I look forward to the future. I wouldn't classify myself as an optimist. I'm more of a realist bordering on pessimism. I like being pessimistic though because you're ready for the worst and pleasantly surprised when good things happen.

Okay, okay. I'm only season three, about half way through it, I didn't even know there was a sixth looks like I still got a lot more to watch than I thought. I'll keep I'm mind the comment about season five.

You have a very similar attitude to life as I. Although I'm about to become 17 and you're 22 :| and you seem to be taking very advanced courses and have different life ambitions than me, I guess that doesn't mean we can't have the same life ideal though.


Anyhow, if you had to live off a drink other than pure water, what would it be? It can't be mineral water or Gatorade

my brother has a chance to be valedictorian of his graduating high school class. However, he doesn't want to be valedictorian because it will mean giving a speech.... I said that I could write the speech for him if he wanted. He seemed more inclined to try harder in school... should I write the speech for him?

 

[MWQ]

In high school(i just started collage) i had 9As and 5A+ ,so according to you what would be my GPA? I didnt actually thought of calculating my GPA until now.

According to you,make a list(up to 10 or 15 max) of the people who asked you the most reasonable or otherwise interesting questions in this thread?(am i included?)

It depends on the kind of work, why you were gone, and whether or not your boss was informed ahead of time that you would be gone.

Yeah, the sixth season was added on just because they were making money. The story line of it is unnecessary.

The same philosophy can be applied to different paths.

Probably some sort of juice. Maybe a cranberry blend.

I was valedictorian of my class. Giving a speech was not bad at all. No one really cares what you say, so long as you say something. However, what he says needs to come from him. You should help him write it, but he needs to do the bulk of it, otherwise it wouldn't be genuine.

Your GPA would really depend on whether and how your school weights A's vs. A+'s. Most schools don't differentiate, so you'd just have a 4.0.

Umm, that's difficult... There's you, Husky, Shinobi Train, DisturbedInside, OrochimaruFan, SasoriOfTheRedSaand, Vincent Pryce, Chibiusa, Hipster Kages, and Space Cowboy for numerous reasonable questions. For "interesting" questions, there's PervyPanda, thesurvivor, Darth Lawsuit, and ROSH2. I think that's 14... Satisfied?

I need your godly advice lol. Honestly, would Political Science be a good route to go, career wise?

So you're thinking of majoring in political science? Whether that's a good route for you specifically depends on what exactly it is you want for your career. You might find this useful:

The Rev (from A7x) finished the final song for his band's last album three days before his death. The autopsy reported that he died of an "accidental" overdose. Do these lyrics sound like a suicide note to you?

Spoiler

Now I think I understand
How this world can overcome a man.
Like a friend we saw it through
In the end I gave my life for you.

Gave you all I had to give
Found a place for me to rest my head.
While I may be hard to find
Heard there's peace just on the other side.

Not that I could
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin,
Let it burn.

Left this life to set me free
Took a piece of you inside of me.
All this hurt can finally fade
Promise me you'll never feel afraid.
Or that I would
Let it burn
Under my skin
Let it burn

I hope it's worth it, out on the highway, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I hope you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

I hope it's worth it, what's left behind me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you

So tell everybody, the ones who walk beside me, yeah
I know you'll find your own way when I'm not with you tonight

I thought this thread had died...

It may have been ruled as accidental because Mr. Sullivan had a previously undiagnosed heart condition that was a major contribution to his death. Given that he didn't know about his heart, he could have taken a level of drugs that he understood as survivable under normal conditions. See

. Addressing your question, yes it does sound like a suicide note. However, that might be an artifact of the context in which the lyrics are placed. Had I read the lyrics without any other information, I would not have seen it as a suicide note.

I will keep it alive! Do you own a firearm?

I will keep it alive! Do you own a firearm?

Good.

Yes, I own a 7mm-08 rifle. I haven't used it much in the last few years though. I used to go hunting every year, but it became more periodic late in high school as I became progressively more involved with extra curricular activities. I stopped completely after going to college.

I dont think I will be able to pass my math class this semester. My parents are going to kill me if I dont. I need help with the work and I have a small time table to work with. What should I do?

Consult your teacher to see what you need to do to pass, seek outside help (like a tutor), and study your ass off. Spend less time on the base and more time hitting the books.

The class is online and the tests are taken in person. The teacher is more of a test proctor and she usually doesnt have time to help people.

Even if it is on online class, you should be able to email your teacher and figure out what you need to do to pass. He/she should at least be able to tell you that. For help, you should get a tutor or work with your peers.

Theoretically it's possible, but it's not a standard surgery, and it would likely result in a loss of full function.

man this is halarious!

now to my question how come sloths survived for so long if they are slow and stuped?

Hmm yeah,but i was looking for more of a list,anyway it doesn't matter

Can you advise a good way for me to learn or gain knowledge of my strong points(subjects,career paths etc)regarding education? I really am having a hard time deciding what i should do in my future or what career path i should take.I actually am quite aimless,lost and helpless in this situation since i dont even know which subjects would suit me.

 

[saaaaaadpanda]

man this is halarious!

Yes, it's pretty funny. There is a whole series on different animals by the same guy. I really like True Facts About the Seahorse.

I wouldn't say sloths are stupid, just slow. They are actually fairly well suited to their environment. Part of the reason they are so slow is that they have a very slow metabolism due to the fact that they mainly eat leaves, which have little nutritional value, and it takes a long time for their commensal gut bacteria to digest them. While that sounds problematic, they actually fill an ecological niche, so they don't have much competition for their food. As far as them being killed, sloths only have two natural predators, the jaguar and the harpy eagle. However, they don't provide a huge threat because jaguars can only really attack sloths when they are on the ground, which the rarely are, and sloths are well camouflaged. Their fungi covered coat and slow movement keep them from being seen.

Well, one indication of your strong suits would be your grades. However, based on your grades, you do comparably well in all your classes. Since that is the case, it doesn't matter so much how well you do in a subject, given you're currently doing well in all of them. More so, it matters what you actually enjoy doing. I was in a similar situation in high school. When I got into college, all I knew was that I liked science, and, more specifically, biology. If you really want to test your skill sets, try taking some college courses while you are in high school in a variety of subjects. There are a number of online "what should my career be" quizzes, but most of those simply ask what you like or think you are skilled in. They don't actually test your skill.
