We'll send him halfway back, and let you decide whether or not to bring him the other half.

A presentation component is the kind of class work I mentioned.

When you hire someone to do a job for you, do you want someone who will bust their ass all day and turns in mediocre work? O

Or do you want someone who does the job quickly, efficiently, competently?

When you're working, do you want to bust your ass all day on something you are barely but technically qualified to perform? Or would you prefer to follow your passion?

Heavily weighting effort for effort's sake favors the talentless over the talented, and does neither any favors.

Stigma, please.

Seems pretty simple to me: No graded homework. Grade based on test scores, quizzes, and in-class work.

If a student needs heavily weighted homework/essay grades to offset mediocre test scores, they are a mediocre student and deserve their mediocre score.

Hard work is not a replacement for talent.

If it's still hooked up, it might be useful as an emergency power source for keeping cell phones and USB power banks charged in the event of a long-term power outage.

My family was without power for three days recently, and about a week a few years ago.

That's not true. All nuclear weapons

Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. ICBM. You'll note that there is no "N" in that initialism. The presence or absence of a nuclear weapon is irrelevant. The missile itself is what I am talking about.

The missile, and all of the essential technology for building and operating it, are subject to export controls. ITAR and EAR, which apply not only to the physical items, but to the IP associated with those items as well.

ITAR doesn't prevent SpaceX from moving its base of operations to another country.

ITAR allows SpaceX to take the name of the company to another country, and that's about it.

Not the hardware, software, IP, or anything they would need to actually conduct their operations from that country.

StarLink could (probably) be moved out of the US, and rely on foreign launchers to maintain their satellite constellations. But not SpaceX, unless the US government specifically permits them to do so. Which they won't.

SpaceX operates a fleet of privately owned ICBMs under license from the US government. Without the license and authority of the US government, SpaceX's fundamental operations would be criminal: You and I would be arrested if we tried to build an ICBM without government permission.

The intellectual property they are using is subject to ITAR regulation. Any American trying to transfer that IP outside of the US would be quickly indicted. Any foreign government using or authorizing the use of that IP would be heavily sanctioned.

Cow.

Definitely a cow.

If she is still financially reliant on her parents, you should abide by her wishes on the subject. You should not consider it a reflection of her relationship with you. She is doing what she needs to do to survive and thrive.

Eventually, she might choose to rely on you for financial support. But, you could be killed in a traffic accident, and she would still be dependent on their support. Even after you are supporting her financially, she still needs to do what she needs to maintain her relationship with them.

You should not consider her relationship with her parents to be a reflection on your relationship until she is capable of supporting herself, independent of both you and them.

Until then, she is being coerced, to some degree or another, and you should consider that coercion when evaluating her behavior.

88% own a car, but only 83% have a driver's license

I'm guessing that I still "own" a 1985 Suburban, a 1986 Cavalier, and a 1989 S10. I still have the Titles to each of these vehicles, but the vehicles themselves were scrapped decades ago.

They have their keys on their belts for easy access.

There's a way to mildly annoy them: Keys can be duplicated from photos. Remind everyone of that, and pretty soon, their security chief will prohibit them from carrying keys openly.

I've found a few references claiming that Sil-Fos brazing rods contain only silver, copper, and phosphorous. They should be fine.
