On Sunday PA recorded a record of earliest snowfall of the season in the Northern Central part of the state.
agreed that math is important but the math you normally use is your typical addition subtracting multilplying and division. It's not like this nonsense i'm learning, algebra and calculus i just dont see the need to learn it if i'm never going to use it in life. Got a 74/100 on my final, but i need an 80. Luckily the professor looked it over and changed 2 wrong questions to correct so i have an 81

I had to learn algebra and some other math while I was in school learning to be an A/C tech. It is useful for calculating pipe bending which I never do. It also teaches something else too. It teaches problem solving and critical thinking which I use all the time. My job at Disney Is all problem solving. In my job I do plumbing, air conditioning, refrigeration, residential kitchen equiment, commercial kitchen equipment, electrical, carpentry, paint, locksmith, tile work, pargo mechaic (golf cart), automobile mechanic. Basically if it is on Disney property I get to work on it if there is a problem. I can't be an expert in all these areas. Basically a jack of all trades- master of none. My job requires that I respond and make a good faith effort at a resolution. Sometimes that includes repairing a guests eyeglasses, stroller, or wheel chair, and have even worked on kids toys. Thru it all it requires critical thinking for a solution which also includes knowing when to back away and refer the issue to an expert. Without critical thinking skills I couldn't do my job.
thats just crazy man !!
i wish i could just do that but as you know i live in the casades so i have to drive to the coast to get away from it
