Looks like I'll be starting 2025 with only about 8 books on my physical TBR! I am so proud of myself ๐Ÿ˜Š
I've come up with a plan. I'm starting 2024 with exactly 24 unread physical books on my shelf (and donating all the rest). We will not mention the ebook TBR.

I'm a bit uneasy with the "Muslims aren't offended by Christmas, my Muslim friends have Christmas trees up" messages. Muslims shouldn't have to join in with the celebrations just to make you feel better about them. It's ok for Muslims to not partake at all.

Iโ€™ve raised this before but itโ€™s impossible to find a formula for pie if itโ€™s genuinely transcendental.
in october 2021 i had such a transcendently good piece of pumpkin pie w/ a dense texture. i got obsessed with trying to recreate it every fall for the next three years. anyway, i finally nailed it. here's the recipeโ€“pumpkin pie with orange zest and cardamom whipped cream

Does anyone here work in a trauma-informed approach school? Would like to know what your behaviour system looks like and how it's going. My school is now using this approach but I'm a bit confused about it.

I should have been clearer and said does the mark scheme allow it. I know that it's mathematically valid, I have a maths degree from Warwick! I got a couple of helpful replies though, thanks
In A level maths, if you have to prove something, are you allowed to prove it by starting with the RHS and ending up with the LHS? Or do you have to do it left to right?

Remembering how this time last year I made three of these and put them in pigeonholes in the staff room hoping the people who got them would do the same and we'd have an exponential wave of positivity but by summer term the original mugs were still in the pigeonholes

Is there a good mathematical reason for having octagonal cup holders? I feel like there might be
This is such a first world problem but my daily struggle is that my car has hexagonal cup holders (cheers @UKVolkswagen) so my @StanleyBrand cup doesnโ€™t fit so leaks all over my car ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน

Because I'm guessing what actually happened was the child was told reasonably that the shoes were unacceptable and they kicked off, possibly being rude, defiant, disruptive, bad language etc.
Replying to @BBCNews
How can you get sent home from school for wearing what are clearly school shoes? Too shiny? Or has the school banned brogues? Seems arbitrary either way

I need someone good at mechanics to explain this to me please! When you stand up normally and then push against a wall with your palms at shoulder height, why do you feel a stronger reaction force in your feet?
