My understanding of the program is that the times are maximums. You progress to the next level when you can get all the reps in the allotted time. (See pages 18 and 19 of the pamphlet.) Since you did 15 pushups in one minute, you would stay at the ‘C-’ level of Chart 3 until you get 16 pushups in one minutes.

Most of my discretionary spending is scavenging: thrift stores, clearance isles, and vending machines. All of that is down to $0. I’ve been at home long enough that I really don’t have the urge to continue. Once I turn in grades next week, I’m planning on chucking or using the stuff I already have. Due to no longer…

Frank Zappa chose names his kids could type. Having to install a new keyboard app just to type your name borders on child abuse.

Take the money and time you’ve saved and rethink your audio setup. Here’s where you’ll want to spend your efforts, because nobody cares how you look if they can’t understand you.

I find it’s browser dependent. Chrome will load comments, but slowly. Firefox won’t see them at all.

I’m not 100% sure how the unemployment rate is calculated. I do know they don’t count everyone who is not working. One rule I saw is that you have to be actively searching for a job, which is pretty much impossible right now. So, I suspect the “real” unemployment numbers will be worse than what is reported.

I was teaching five face-to-face classes this semester. Since my college went to online classes, I feel like I’ve been locked in my house with my job. It doesn’t help that since my wife and kids are home, I’m most productive between 8 PM and 2 AM.

Can I get The Count to tutor my algebra students?

My feelings about the new trilogy were mirrored by Ford’s reading of “How do we blow it up? There’s always a way to do that.” We were both thinking, “What? I thought we were past this crap.”

For serious fans of the series...

Keeping up with the news is important...

The only entries in my Bullet Journal from the past week are steadily improving blood pressure readings. I thought I might be having heart problems two weeks ago. I went to the ER with unusually high blood pressure. (The EGK was normal.) My doctor told me to record my blood pressure twice a day for a week.

Nope, don’t buy it.

They’re being good building owners. Leave it at that.

Well... The statement below is the one I used to calibrate my sarcasm detector.

... or that it was dripping with sarcasm.

I bought two cans of coffee and picked up a prescription at Kroger today. The store was packed but I got through with no problem.

I’ve been building a computer desk. My community college is moving to online classes next week, and I need to convert five face-to-face classes. For a while, I’ve wanted a desk in my garage where is it quiet enough to make some videos. This finally gave me the push to get started.
