I got my dad his 'mega millions' ticket everyone will be very relived to know. (I think you win a billion dollars... or it keeps going up and I have to probably get ANOTHER ticket for him... ) If we win, normally I'd try to hide it, but the conspicuous ant-related funding and spending may be a give away.

@hopland

Yeah... yeah maybe. Not that I can talk or anything here.

What I have is catching. My husband just sent me a photo of the marble in an office "it looks like an ant, what is happening to me?"

"you are waking up, my love"

(And speaking of interior decorating ideas... marble on the walls is a bit much ... oooh but I could go for THIS)

Because manipulatives, drawing and anything other than abstract, algebraic or textural representation of mathematical ideas often helps weaker students these potent visual and physical methods of interacting with mathematics are seen as “intrinsically remedial” — to me? This is a terrible mistake.

There is a tendency to introduce manipulatives too early and jettison them too early: advanced students are expected, in a sense, to not to “count on their fingers.”

to understand New York City please imagine 100 people in your bedroom. Yet, somehow all 100 of them have found a way to be comfortable. They’re sitting on the couch, on the back of the couch and on every chair and every surface. They have built little shelves on the wall to make additional seating. All 100 people have a place to be.

Then? all at once, at exactly 830am every single one decides they would *rather* be in a *different* place in your bedroom.

That is how it is.

Here is a famous longer literary work for more sophisticated cats who want to ponder the contradictory nature of existence:

"They must give cute kitty everything." Includes head kiss.

MUCH to think about here.

@Cheeseness

I curate my videos by choosing them all and putting them on a playlist. Then I let it play. But I will OFTEN hit that button if a video isn't what I expected, or if it has a long out-tro etc.

I didn't realize I used it so often and now I'm grumpy.

@Extra_Special_Carbon

It has a seal, it's like leather in terms of how porous it is.

@TeflonTrout @3janeTA

I'm about to make some mountains into molehills if my husband hides anything else on the high shelf from me.

@Affekt

Cork stays warm naturally, so I don't think it'd work with heating, or need it?

But in a big coop apartment you don't really have a cold floor problem, The floors are always warm.

@neckspike

Cork is even more expensive, but not by much. However, when doing a NYC space the expense of materials is worth ignoring. Kitchens are so tiny that it's just not a big deal. Get whatever you want, you are only buying like 2 sq feet. anyway.

@orangelantern @totalclaireity

I guess the design challenge is to have a 5' person and a 6' giant use your space and both like it?

I find the rails on the bus and train too high up to hold without feeling like my arm is going to come off.

@jerzone

There is UI (User Interface)
Then there is UCI (User Control Interface)

I know it's possible to make UI so perfect that you forget it is there. Maybe that's why we get punished. We don't celebrate what works because ... the best UI is not something anyone ever talks about.

@keira_reckons

That was probably it. It's a very sensible material, not too hard, easy to clean, durable, last for a million years...

“I caught the RED DOT, but then it was GONE!”

This one is what passes for a cryptid story for cats.

I would love to see an 15 year old cork floor in a bathroom. (To see how it holds up. Not testing this myself, thank you) Globus does seal their cork, and I think this looks best on their colored cork. It's a bit like linoleum in durability, but more natural and less "hospital"

I kind of like linoleum? Why is it so rare in homes?

If you are thinking about "renovations" have you considered a cork floor for your kitchen? We put one in 18 years ago and I still love it. We went with dark green and yellow cork. It's so nice to stand on. It's like wood but better.

I was worried about water and cleaning, but for the kitchen it was fine. I'm now curious if it could be used in a bathroom (Probably not I think.)

Globus Cork manufactures these tiles right down the street in the south bronx. (not sponsored LOL)

Tall people have already ruined kitchens by putting everything up too high and then you forget it even exists.

Apparently one of the things driving the whole bathroom with no tub "trend" are tall people who do not fit in them so the tall people just get rid of the tub and have only a shower.

Excuse you I was swimming in there.

Tall people must be stopped.

Grab their knees!

@zombiecide

This is a tragedy.
