We didn't have AP when I was in HS, just 1-2-3 level courses.  My kids' HS had both AP and IB classes.  They were interestingly different, the IB teachers had to be specifically certified for teaching that.  My son took three years of IB physics in HS.  The chemistry teacher didn't have certification.  IB also had a senior level course called "Theory of Knowledge" which was pretty interesting, to me.

We had a lot of European/French families in out district.

Also, I'm glad that I took the PE exam last fall. Just looked on the NCEES website, and they've outright canceled the spring exam.

UT engineering didn't allow you to place out of engineering physics, or anything beyond the first semester of calculus.  I got 5s on both, but only got credit for Physics for Physics majors, not engineering physics, and only the first semester of calculus.

Also placed out of history and literature, which I wish I hadn't because those would have been really great classes to take at the college level, but there's no way I would have graduated in 4 years if I hadn't, and back in those days, scholarship money ran out after 4.

The local market/apple orchard is doing daily food packages.  You have to sign up online at noon, and they only put together like 10 of them a day, sell out in less than 2 minutes each day.  It's expensive, but it's fresh, fairly comprehensive, and pre-packaged for you, of a known good quality.  You don't get to pick what you get though.

We finally "won" for the first time today

Milk, cider, eggs, butter, pulled pork, mac & cheese, corn, lunch meat, cheese, bread, chili, 2 lbs of mixed veggies, apples, bananas, potatoes, lettuce, cinnamon swirl bread, fresh baked pie

Then I can go off hours to the grocery store for a limited run.  I did the curbside pickup last week, and the problem is all of the slots are filled 6 days out, so you need to plan WAY in advance to put in your order, and then they had to make 9 substitutions.

Ok, let's try this:

Bad: Confirmed cases way up in MN, including 5 more fatalities yesterday. 

Good: over half of the confirmed cases no longer need to be isolated. Also, UMN and Mayo Clinic researchers are well into antibody trials. Much work yet to do, but all involved are pleased with the early returns.

That is very encouraging news. Thanks.

We had our networking group meeting on Zoom this morning. First time and it worked well. We had 17 people show up.

My town has 22 cases, most of them in nursing homes. The store director from our local Jewel (grocery) store was also in the meeting. He confirmed that his store has zero (confirmed) cases. 2 of his older workers are staying home for their own sake. There are no symptoms in the store. He will update the group with any changes.

don't know if it's been discussed yet, but US lawmakers passing that pathetic stimulus bill was a joke. It is essentially just the largest transfer of wealth in the history of this country. I seriously can't believe they decided to do means testing and delay getting money to families that need it. Some won't get it for a month or months. Could've been very easy for the government to just send everyone CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle instantly. Look at how Canada handled this crisis vs. look at how America handled it. Makes me wish I was Canadian for the first time ever in my life. Let's not to forget about the millions of most vulnerable who need the money most but won't get a single red cent. Think of all the mom and pop places that have been forced to shut down and all the millions of people working at those places living paycheck to paycheck and don't make enough to even bother filing taxes. They aren't getting shit.

I am so sick and fed up with American politicians. They are the most worthless, spineless, useless people on planet earth.

The lawmakers should try to aggressively hammer China. I would LOVE to see them just cancel the $1 trillion US debt with China as punishment for the CCP covering this thing up and for the CCP failing to shutdown the disgusting inhumane, FILTHY disease breeding wet markets that brought this thing upon the world. Would LOVE to see US lawmakers bring manufacturing of essential industries like health/pharmaceuticals back to US soil and pressure the hell out of other US multinationals to bring their manufacturing as well.

This should be a HUGE wake-up call to everyone in this country. The CCP is evil and China is NOT your friend. They are the enemy of the United States of America and the singe largest threat to continued American hegemony. And our stupid, lazy, crooked politicians and our greedy US multinationals turned China into the power that it is. These dumb assholes made it happen. I really think a war with China might actually be necessary in the near future. We need to stop China. Period. And all this Russia Russia Russia bullshit from the Democrats for the last 3 plus years when Russia is a 3rd rate country that's essentially just a giant gas station that Putin controls and not a threat to America at all has done nothing but waste critical time and effort that should've been directed squarely at China.

Trump should've never stopped calling it Chinese virus, and the mainstream media and twitter are a joke by the way. Twitter is banned in China by the CCP, but high-ranking CCP officials have twitter accounts with the checkmarks and can go online on twitter claiming that America started this virus and bio-engineered it in a lab. Give me an F'ing break. CEO of twitter should jump off a bridge. How about you grow a pair and ban CCP officials from using twitter if they ban it from being used in their country.

/END RANT. Sorry guys.

" I seriously can't believe they decided to do means testing and delay getting money to families that need it. Some won't get it for a month or months."

I'm a bit confused by this.  I understood it to be based on one's tax return last year and if you made "too much", you would get less, or none, right?

What did Canada do differently?  I read they basically offered expanded UE insurance for those who lost income.

I told my brother this morning that we need to beat this virus, and then declare war on China.

Good rant.
