It's actually a lot of fun, and they give you points/badges for "mastering" categories and completing X amount of topics. The points don't really do anything, but it's fun to see them increase! The videos are also easy to follow if you don't understand something.
This has never been a motivator for me haha... Gamer points, trophies, etc, steam achievements... I don't get it. I rather love learning and memorising, and I really like to talk to people about things I've learned, so that's what I'll get out of this (probably), although maybe not so much the talking to people.
What's really great is that you can customize your lesson plan and focus on skills you would like to improve on as well. If it gets to an area that you know nothing about, there's a button that says, "I have not learned this yet." If you have learned and simply forgot how to solve an problem, there's always a video as a nice refresher.
Come on, you bitch about cold that we would barely bat an eye at and we bitch about warm that is your daily life and we mock each other for it. It's the circle of life. That street goes both ways.
How about if I give @Cajungal permission to mock me when I whine about 80F being a heat wave of a summer? Would that balance the scales?
After spending 6 years in the San Diego area and over 3 years here in HI I am right there with you. It was 62 this morning when I got up. I couldn't wait to drink my coffee so I would feel warmer. I walked around with a light jacket until noon.I'm also cold when it's 60 degrees, so I'll accept being laughed at.
Pretty much this. I would lock myself in the fridge if I had to deal with the heat the south deals with on a regular basis.
At least not without an indecent exposure charge.
Worth it. As long as mug shots are posted.
Cancelled for a 1/2 inch?? I realize it's a rare occurrence out there, but half an inch? Unless it's icy, that's not even dangerous driving conditions. You can clear that up with a hairdryer.
I was completely wrong about it being snow, it's actually 1/2inch of ice. Cars are sliding all over the expressway like ice skaters. Vehicles are physically unable to get over a single overpass and have stalled traffic for almost 2hrs. Austin PD has reported over 200 wrecks (not 200 cars crashed) over the past 9hrs. Almost 20 people have been hospitalized from just slipping on the ice while walking.Cancelled for a 1/2 inch?? I realize it's a rare occurrence out there, but half an inch?

Meanwhile, we get 15" up here, and it was all over the news that the new mayor of NYC didn't cancel school.
Ice is another matter entirely. Even a little ice is dangerous. Hopefully you guys don't have to go out at all today, and I'm glad your wife didn't have to drive in it. To me, ice is one of the scariest things about winter, black ice in particular.
I feel your pain, surprising how much more snow we got here and then even how much more they got toward Toledo Bend and over into Louisiana.My car during Friday's Snowpacalypse. I did not think I could dig it out.
You know there's a built-in workaround if this sort of thing happens again, right? It can be really handy in a pinch when you cant get service for a few days, or when the warranty has expired and you don't want to buy a replacement.
