The difference in the the US is that the schools get paid (by the state government) based on average daily attendance. When attendance is low, it brings the average down, so if x number of kids are missing, they will call off school. That's why there is an occasional "flu day" when too many kids are sick.

Looking at the chart in comparison to the strength of the flavor of each condiment, it seems like the order is right on par.

- Mayo has the weakest flavor by a large margin
- Ketchup, Soy Sauce, and BBQ are about equal to one another (BBQ varies a little depending on style).
- Hot sauce, Mustard , and Steak Sauce are very strong flavors.

Looking at it that way, we would expect a regular person to go through a jar of mayo faster than they go through an equal size jar of mustard, simply because it takes a lot less mustard to blend with the various flavors in a sandwich. The chart looks like about 4x as much mayo is consumed, and tbh, I would readily say that mustard's flavor is easily 4x stronger than mayo, so 1/4 of it is necessary to be enough for balance of flavors in a dish that has both.

Don’t expect this “science” to sneak its way into the classrooms here in the South. Our Lord and Savior made it very clear there is no way we evolved from these savages. Tennessee has passed the Monkey Law legislation which ensures teachers can challenge these so-called scientists and their twisted research funded by the liberals in Washington.

I've seen very few art museums that cordon things off. You'll occasionally see things in the news about something being damaged, but it seems museums tend to not want a few bad people ruin it for everyone, allowing people to get a close look at the art. There might be employees or volunteers to keep an eye on the art, but even at some of the bigger places I've noticed that there is often fewer than one per room, and fewer such people at modern art places compared to ones displaying centuries old famous works.

In my opinion, it is kind of nice to see places that assume most people can act reasonable and respectful, instead of designing things things to be idiot-proof, even if that comes with a risk.

Art, like anything else, is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. But as Melissa said, it doesn't matter what it's really worth; it's in a museum and not to play on.

I have two daughters, five stepchildren, and two grandkids, so I know that kids will do what they want WHEN YOU LET THEM DO ANYTHING THEY WANT.

If a kid is old/mature enough to visit the art museum, they're old/mature enough to be expected to behave and not touch or climb on the art. If they're still so little that being little should be an excuse, they're still too little for the art museum. Try taking them to the park or the zoo instead. They'll have more fun and not likely harm anything.

I knew it was the husband when the slippers were still in front of the chair. Besides, there were not a lot of suspects to choose from in this one. Thirdly, a spouse should always be a suspect even before forensics evidence is gathered and prevented from being at the scene.

Credit goes to mental_floss magazine. Yeah, the young people who reject the word "feminist" because it's been painted as a pejorative have little concept of a time when women had so little power and so few real choices in life. While The Feminine Mystique was published as sociology, it is now history. And you know what they say about those who do not learn from history.

Thank you for posting this review. I had *heard of* her book, but never bothered to get any details about it or Friedan. Your concise and detailed description has given me much perspective on a time when I was a small child, unable to understand or appreciate the social changes that marked that time. It is shocking to me to be reminded that women could not even establish credit without a man even as recently as the 1970s. I will be sure to forward this post to my daughters, who may not appreciate how recently and how pervasively sexism was openly institutionalized. (Today, it is probably almost as pervasive, but merely less open)
