I start a new job tomorrow in a garden centre.
I'm a bit nervous but very excited. 
My hours are relatively short but if I happen to not be as active as I normally am, that would be the reason. 
Goodnight everypony!
See you all in the morning!

How do you know if you had bad math teachers during your school years?
If you had a good teacher, you would have had an easier time. I didn't have good teachers.
Solve this one (Simple subtraction right?):
Just remember to keep track of all the borrows. 0 - 9, and you need to borrow from the next, but meh.... So many borrows.
Oh, Mr Math teacher, what was that? You only need to do this???
Spoiler
It works because:
5 - 4 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 2 = 1even something like
(-1) - (-2) = 1
They all equal the same, if you just subtract the same on both sides. You'll get rid of those borrows quite easily now!
Well, if I had known that, it would have saved many many minutes of my life!

We all know about the original opening to the amazing
Spider-ManFiM movie but do you know about the song that could’ve gone with it?
I’ve posted about this before but I’d love for my newer forum friends to see it. This song fits so much better than the bad cover they went with! 
It’s even synced to the visuals! 
Twilight’s ‘Ohm’ at the end is even in tune with the music.

We've made the difficult decision this morning of putting our eldest dog, Maxi to sleep. She's been ill for a while now and it's culminated in her being in tremendous pain last night and none of us getting any sleep. The fact that we knew time was ticking and she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer doesn't make this a massive shock. But no matter what, I feel devastated right now. She's lived for nearly seventeen years which is incredible. I don't remember a day going by without her, I've grown up with her ever since I was at least three years old. She's been a constant throughout our lives and that will never be replaced.
Anyway, good morning everypony.
Have a great day.
R. I. P. Maxi. June 2007-May 1st 2022

The very stupid game of circuit breaker wack a mole is getting old.
Long story short its day 3 or 4 of no power, so we're running off of generators, but they don't make perfectly clean power and North American electrical code specifies Ground Fault Interupting breakers on certain circuits, they're supposed to sense a short by measuring little tiny differences in voltages(like you getting shocked) but apparently they don't like the generator power, so they trip, the problem is important things like the refrigerator and pumps are on those circuits....so I have to basically camp out next to the breaker box...for the last 3 or 4 days...
The worst part is we could have power, but the electric company forgot to flip a breaker when they were inspecting lines, we were told, and now they don't want to send someone to flip the breaker on for 30 people

J.I. Case (and Cummins) and International Harvester to the rescue, as usual.
The entire western half of North Dakota has no power, we finally got our wet snow that was to come last weekend...but apparently most of the linemen weren't on duty so by the time they got everyone back, it was dark and they pulled them. The lines are "galloping" and apparently after the third time they strike each other, it throws a manual reset circuit breaker.
So they'll be quite a few PTO(Power Take Off(the tractor)) generators running for the next few days here, like here.
It is a very weird snow though, not your usual wet snow, it about completely melts the instant it touches anything, but not quite and then the rest turns to ice. Its hovering right at freezing, but with 75 MPH wind forecasted (~125km/h), it won't help much.
Then on the opposite side of the state: severe storms and tornadoes, so large areas there are out of power too. Supposedly a few big lines went down over there.

Good morning.

Alright, here's the answer to the trivia question from Wednesday through Saturday.
Continuing with the weather terms here. Which of the following terms is a measure of the instability in the atmosphere that can be used for thunderstorms to form and continue to thrive?
Answer: D. CAPE, or Convective Available Potential Energy, is a measure of the energy that the atmosphere has to be used as fuel for thunderstorms. Higher CAPE days are known (when other weather parameters line up) to fuel severe weather and tornadoes.
The Lifted index is the temperature difference between the environment and a parcel of air that is lifted adiabatically at a given pressure height in the troposphere.
Sunday/Monday's questionContinuing with the weather terms here. Which of the following terms is the term for which the temperature reaches 100% relative humidity (also known as super saturation)?
A: Heat Index
B: Dew Point
C: Wind chill
D: Humidex

You guys I need your help!
Our fast food restaurants are selling us chickens like this...
Spoiler
The chicken was already eaten and I left out the weird fat bits... Cuz I ain't touching that....
There's this weird fat thing on a chicken....which shouldn't have.... It looks like a weird fat extender.... Cancer incarnate if you ask me.... If you want to see the physical form of cancer this might just be it....
So does yours also sell this kind of chicken? Should we spread awareness?
I'm already destroying 1 KFC branch here in the Philippines through Google map and apparently Google map says I'm famous.... My picture reached 100k views? Maybe it's a total of every picture I gave there but, I'm sure I've helped alot already...

No, KFC nor any other place here sells chicken with...whatever that is.
It looks like some typ of filler or meat glue or something to me. Cancer, usually, doesn't look like that.
It could be fat, but it would have to be put there like part of the production process, unless you have weird chickens there.

Good morning everypony!

Like every spring, they say a big storm is on the way. Estimates have already been cut in half so I guess we will see.
They were saying 40+ inches and now...24 at the absolute worst.
Hopefully there is no wind and it's slow so it actually does some good.

It is 26°F currently at 6:07 Central Daylight Savings Time.
We do get the occasional tornado a few times a year. Baseball size hail is always reported at least once a year. Fargo is always in some stage of flooding(and wants the world to know about it). Last winter we had a week of 70mph wind average with gusts up to 140, according to the nws station, which the barn agreed with it's broken poles, plus a small tornado was reported in that. The snow usually either melts, settles, or blows away(to somewhere inconvenient) during the winter, so usually there is at most 5' in your yard, unless it is a snow winter, then people were recreating our famous snow photo from 1966.
I've got one of me standing on a snow bank taller than our 2 story house. Then there is the 100° days of July and August. And the bad storms of May through September. You never get rain here, you get thunderstorms, but...that's only 4 months of the year, the rest is snow or trying to snow.
It's an interesting place to live.
